The Red Cross meets Monday
Irom 2 to 5 p. m. in tie Bank or
AJaska building. All women of
Skagway are urged to com© aaid hel
in tlie work. "Your country needs
you."
Mrs. J. W. Shearer announces that
the knitting classes *'111 not meet

Northwestern Branch
Tho Northwestern. Branch, of the
Red Cross supply service comprise
Idaho, Oregon, Washington and Al
aska, with headquarters at Seattle.
The general purpose o£ this and
other branches is to provide a help
ful service to tha various chapters
by supplying them with material
at cost and relieving them of the
shipping of the finished articles
abroad, or to other points where
they may be needed. ,
Socks Wear Out Quickly
With a perfectly good pair of!
w^ll-knit socks in her hand, it is
hard for the knitter to tell herself
that those socks will only last about
a week in the trenches. They look
so firm and strong to her, it sim
ply doesn't seem possible. Yet the
people who are supposed to know,
say that when the men wear two
pairs in the trenches, the outside
pair are worn only a couple of
days and the inside ones another
two days.
That is the reason that there Is
such a demand for socks at every
Red Crosj headquarters over the
country. For the soldiers can wear
them out faster than the average
woman can knit them .
Financial Assistance Fop
Families of America^ Sohliere
It is a matter of importance to
the Red Cross that, at the instance
of Secretary of the Treasury Mc
Adoo, a comprehensive measure'
providing for the financial assist
ance of the families of American
soldiers and sailors has been intro
duced in Congress.
Henry P. Davidson, chairman, on
behalf of the Red Cross War Coun
cil, recently authorized the follow?
lng: > 4 jjfl.ll
"Obviously the task of providing
for ♦he financial assistance of the
families of our soldiers and Bail
ors is so large that the govern
ment alone can assume it. In no
other way can the burden be dis
charged fairly and a$ a matter of
right rather than charity. No vol
untary organization, or organiza
tions, could adequately cope with
luty of such magnitude."
The bill, which, was introduced in
ooth Houses of Congress simultan
eously, represents a very careful
study of the whole problem of
possible dependency as a result of
i(i war and a conscientious esti
mate of the government's recogni
tion of its responsibility.
Estimates laid before the Red
Cross by the American Committee,
chow that there aTe more than two
million people in western Asia
whose death can be prevented by
direct and continued help from
America. The care of orphan
children is also a difficult problem
and their number Is estimated to
run into the hundred thousands.
Ten cents a day per person is the,
minimum on which life can be sus
tained in the refuge camps- or In
the family groups.
