Volunteers Do Bit for Red Cross Even During Vacation Period

THE NUMBER of women working in the Volunteer Special Services of the American Red Cross has grown in the past two years from 53,000 to 600,000. And the Indianapolis branch has contributed a goodly number of

volunteers toward that increase. Many women who ordinarily are off to the lakes and seaside resorts at the first sign of hot weather are staying in town this summer to be with husbands who are kept here by the upswing in business due to the defense program. Many of them are ‘doing . their bit” by volunteering for Red Cross Work. Others who are at their summer homes have taken their knitting and sewing with them and are “carrying on” there. Mrs. Bowman Elder, who heads the committee on the organization of independent units for the local branch, is now vacationing at the Elder summer home on Lake Leland. There she has ‘called uy Sther Indianapolis residents summering there for Red Cross work. Meeting at her lake home last week for an informal organization meeting were the Mesdames John T. Jameson, Ralph Lockwood, Walter Greenough, Claude A. Behringer, William C. Bobbs, Charles R. Weiss and Frederic M. Ayres. Mrs. Ayres heads the recently organized Emergency Volunteer Service Committee for the local branch. Mrs. Elder’s division is a part of her committee. . On the committee for. the forming of the independent units with Mrs. Elder are Mrs. William Shiltges and Mrs. August C. Bohlen, assistants, and the Mesdames D. L. Chambers, Frederic D. Anderson, Victor R. Jose Jr, William C. Griffith, John K. -‘Ruckelshaus, Benjamin D. Hitz, Eugene C. Miller and W. Richardson Sinclair.

Stephen Foster Unit Begins Work

Lilly estate to work on Toddlers’ Kits and children’s clothes. Serving with her on the executive committee are the Mesdames E. Hardey Adriance, Charles Buschmann, William H. Thompson, Miss Emma Gene Tucker and Miss Anne Holmes. The executive committee today announced the appointment of Miss Martha Julian Coleman as the unit’s corresponding secretary.

Bredell, Burton K. Beck, Donald C. Duck and Miss Kathryn Gartland. . Members of the sewing committee are receiving instructions this week at the main Red Cross garment shop and will direct work among volunteers at the hall. Sewing machines are to be installed. Numerous “basters” will be needed to “feed” garments to the machines in a steady stream. The unit is open to the public. Additional days or hours for work may be set later.

Dolphins Take Swimming Tests

ABOUT THIS TIME of year, the outdoor swimming pools are filled to capacity but that doesn’t mean that the I, Joi are unpopular by any means. The fact is that the Indianapolis . Athletic Club’s pool is a pretty busy spot en Wednesday mornings every week. Members of the Dolphin swimming class are taking Red Cross Life Saving work. The class is designed to make members versatile swimmers and includes instruction in plunge dives, surface dives, turns, various distances, using all strokes, etc. : Dolphins who have already passed the “beginner” tests include the Medames Gordon Peck, Jack Carroll, Harold F. Sweeney, R. O. Lewis, Clifton Taylor, Mark C. Haselman, Bernadine McAree Ted Nicholas, J. R. Law, Jack Lenhart, C. R.

Men members of the club are marking down Aug. 6 as an important date on their golfing calendars. That's the date for the I. A. Cs 20th annual golf championship tournament. Play will be on the Indianapolis Country Club course and will be followed by an awards dinner that night. Johnny Wolf, who shot a 75 at Speedway last year, will be the defending champion. John A.

‘Easy Does It’ If You Want to Be a Lady

By RUTH MILLETT “EASY DOES IT.” That's a motto every woman ought to remember. Take it easy—don’t try hard to impress others, making a big splurge and then not being able to follow it up. Take it easy—don’t worry too much over really unimportant matters. If you are friendly and warm-faced and glad to see the stranger w h o stops by unexpectedly for mealtime, it doesn’t matter if the table cloth and napkins dont match. That’s nothing get jittery about. Take it easy— when it's your time to talk.

And the harm you do may make quite a ripple. t 2 ” 2 TAKE IT easy—when you {feel you - want desperately for a man to fall in love with you. Youll stand a lot better chance of getting him if you don’t try too hard. Take it easy—when you feel you have been slighted and are about to get a bad case of feeling sorry for yourself. ' Hurt feelings are a terrible indulgence. You can’t afford them if you want to keep your friends, and have a good time out of life. Take it easy when you are tempted to get into a knock-down, drag-out argument. Women aren’t very attractive when they are fighting tooth and toe-nail. Stand up for everything you believe in, but don’t “enjoy” making a show of it. Remember that motto, “Easy does it,” and youll always be a lady.

If You Want to Wear Clothes of

there is no help for us. Fortunately the air about us rarely attains these two conditions but the air that is kept in contact with the body by tight or thick clothing does reach this state. In that case, the only thing to do is to get rid of the old air, and get in some new that is capable of absorbing . heat and perspiration,

From a purely theoretical point of view, therefore, the ideal summer costume would be a large umbrella and nothing else! But though local custom and the police may require a deviation from this ideal, we should bear in mind the fundamental principle that cooling is due chiefly to evaporation and that evaporation depends on ventilation. The circulation of air should be sufficient to keep the shin free from uncomfortable aecumulation of perspiration but mot so rapid as to chill it by excessive evaporation. It is not the sweat we see that cools us but that which passes off unperceived. Clothing halves the loss of heat in cool weather and tuts it down still more in warm weather. The clothed man ranks between the furry dog and the rabbit in the matter of heat exchange. If our skin were a sheet of shiny silver foil of the same thickness, we would lose heat 2280 times as fast as we do, but a layer of. immobile . air, such as may be caught by fur, feathers, or closeknit cloth, will retard .the loss of heat 10 times as much as the skin. This means that to keep the air in free circulation over the skin, the clothing should .touch the skin as little and as lightly as possible. Coarse-meshed ‘and porous fabrics are better than closely woven cloth, Probably also crinkly fabrics tend to be cooler, other things being equal, because they touch the skin in fewer places.

Black Is Hotter

The weave makes more differénce than either the fiber itself or’ the color. It is true that black clothing absorbs about twice as much sunlight as white. This was found about two centuries ago by Benjamin Franklin when on a winter’s day, he laid a square of black cloth and a square of white cloth out on the snow ‘in the sunshine. The snow quickly melted under the black fabric, but under the white cloth it lasted about as long as the rest.

Keep Cool— Loose Fit

And Weave in Light Colors

By Science Service , WASHINGTON, July 15.—If you want to keep as cool as possible in hot weather, clothing that ventilates the body is important. object is not to keep the heat out so much as it is to get the heat out from the internal stoves of our body. The air will do this when it is cooler than our bodies and has less water than it can hold. When it is above 99 degrees Fahrenheit and has 100 per cent relative humidity,

The

ably more than lighter colored ones, At night, of course, there is no dife ference so black or dark evening dresses may be just as cool as white ones. Sir Leonard Hill, great English physiologist, once commended the Egyptian robes as the most come fortable garments for a hot country for “as the native walks, his gare ments sway and flap in ungainly fashion, but in doing so cause air SurTomis: which have a cooling <= ect.”

Surprisingly enough, there has been practically no recent study made of the coolness of different fabrics. Years ago it was found that weighted silk was hotter than une weighted silk because the space bee tween the fibers was filled. But as nobody uses weighted silk today, this has little present interest, Some studies were made in Gere many in the Nineties on the same subject, but many of the fabrics ine vestigated are now out of date. In making such measurements one of the most important points is that the fabrics should be exactly alike, except for the fibers, since different construction might account for. the difference, rather than the material,

Cotton Is Absorbent

In 1928, Edgar R. Clark of the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh studied materials for underwear and found that “underwear made prine cipally from woven cotton fabric really adds but a very slight amount of warmth to the clothing as a whole. This is due to the high heat and moisture transmitting powers of such material ahd the fact that it so . well adapts itself to the manuface ture of loose-fitting' undergare ments.”

He found that cotton was the most absorbent of the textile fibers studied, surpassing even linen. Nye lon had not then been invented, but its powers of absorption are very low; which is. partly responsible for ts wearing qualities in hosiery, However, modern synthetic chemise try has produced many other syne thetic fibers, and some of these might compare well with cotton as absorbents of moisture.
