Mrs. Charles Mann Is Chairman Of Large Red Cross Chapter.

Mrs. Charles Mann, formerly of this city and a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. McFarland, has been honored by being selected as chairman of a large Red Cross unit at Cincinnati, O. The Cincinnati chapter is one .of the largest in the United States and has done wonderfully well in providing for our soldier and sailor boys, in the way of clothes. The following account of the chapter is taken from Leslie’s Weekly: “Evanston, a suburb of Cincinnati, has the largest Red Cross unit in Cincinnati, and practically every member in the suburb is a member of it. The unit also has a great many sisters and sweethearts of soldiers in it. Sixteen different articles are manufactured in large quantities in this busy chapter. Some members have a record of five shirts in a single day. Others a pair of hand-made socks a day, and some adepts of the needls, a sweater in two days. The results of their work since last June in sweaters, socks, scarfs, helmets, and hospital shirts and bandages would fill two freight cars.” »
