A call to clubwomen was issued yesterday by Mrs. Rudolph Grosskopf, president of the Seventh Distiret Federation of Glubs, in which she urged the immediate filling out and return of cards stating the number of hours women will volunteer for service, regular or emergency. ® #& @ THE INDIANAPOLIS CHAPTER of the American Red Cross was swamped with telephone and personal calls yesterday from persons who volunteered their services in the national emergency. Officials of the chapter, located on the second floor of the Chamber of Commerce Bldg, reported that offers of services ranged from sewing, knitting, making bandages, nursing and first aid to ambulance driving ard canteen service. ‘The war also stimulated the offer of blood donors for that service of the Red Cross. Approximately 50 persons donated blood yesterday, making it the busiest day at the donor center. Gen, Robert H. Tyndall, retired, chairman of the Blood Donor Come mittee, said that in view of the critfeal world conditions, donors could hardly volunteer too rapidly. Donors to date have reached 1500. Initial quota of the local chapter is 5000. “We are prepared to follow through on any program developed nationally,” Mr. Green said. “Our
sewing and knitting work already is going full force. We have a motor corps in the process of formation and are providing recreation at Billings Hospital” He pointed out that Red Cross first aid classes are bigger than ever before, with 2000 men and women now enrolled. The organization anticipates that enrollment will jump skyward. A class of volunteer instructors already is being trained and will soon be ready to teach. Interest in home nursing courses has been high and preparations are being made to care for large numbers of enrollees on the first of the year, $ 8 &

She urges the backing of men, both at work and in the service, and emphasized that no man in the service should be forgotten. “Send those Christmas gifts at once.” She is asking women to extend their participation in Red Cross work and, if interested, to investigate classes in industrial subjects—

Asks Women To Help Sell Savings Bonds
Assistance in the sale of defense savings stamps and bonds was declared yesterday by Governor Henry F. Schricker to be one of the most effective ways in which women can help in the current crisis. Mr, Schricker, speaking for the first time as a war governor of Indiana, appeared at a luncheor meeting of the Women's Organization Commit. tee of the Marion County Defense Savings Staff at the Y. M. C. A. No one person, he said, could
carry the burden of war effort, but all could help by buying defense savings stamps and bonds, and women have a particularly important job to fill because they must always play the role of solicitors for causes, The universal question which all Indiana people, and particularly the women, are asking, according to Governor Schricker, is “What can I do to help?” The easiest and the biggest thing to be done, he said, to strengthen the home front is to lighten the financial strain on the Government as much as possible, The Governor was introduced by Mrs, Henry E. Ostrom, chairman of the Women's Organization Committee which represents a large section of Marion County women. Russeli W. McDermott, executive secretary of the Defense Savings Staff, also spoke. Wray E. Fleming, Indiana state deputy administrator of the Defense Savings Staff, talked on the citizen's responsibility and effort in a war period. Mrs. George A. Smith, represen tative of the St. Vincent's Hospital Guild, announced that her group had purchased a $5000 defense bond, the interest of which would be used for welfare work. Other organiza tions announced smaller purchases,

DEAR JANE JORDAN--I always got along just fine with my boy friend until just. the last two months. On Nov. 8 he came into the place where I work and said he was going to the city but would be back by 10 o'clock to take me home. When he didn’t show up by 10:26 I went home. At 11:30 someone went by and tooted an automobile horn and I knew it was Jim. Well, that was five weeks ago and he hasn't come to see me since. I wrote a letter telling him that if he didn't write me or come back and straighten this out I would take it that he wanted to call it quits. I got one letter from him, but he hasn't come to see me. I still have his pin and his ring. We had planned to marry in later years. I can't see why he should act this way. We have gone together for two and a half years and I still love him very much. Please help me because I think he still loves me and I know that he knows I love him. Should I write him again and ask why he doesn't come to see me? If he wants his pin and ring why doesn't he ask for them?—K. J " ”
Answer—I think you are wrong to assume that the boy still loves you when he gives no indication whatever that he does. On the contrary his actions speak far louder than words. He wants to break away and try something new but lacks the courage to come right out and say so. I can't explain his behavior. The chances are that he can't explain it himself. It doesn’t mean that you aren't attractive or that you wouldn't succeed with somebody else, It simply means that an affair which was satisfactory for two and a half years no longer gives him pleasure and he wants to try something else. Very few young men stay put in their early love affairs. They start in with high enthusiasm and when it wears off continue from force of habit. Then they get restless and tired of being tied down to one girl. They can find no words for such a change of heart and dread a scene with the girl. They cannot under stand why she doesn't take silence as proof that interest is dead and are embarrassed when she hangs on with declarations of love, I see no reason why you should write to the man again, If you don't want the pin and ring, send them back without comment or just wait until he calls for them, if ever. In the meantime don’t pine away but step out and prove to yourself and to him that you can get another man. This will have more effect on him than anything else you can do. Love which he doesn't want only can be a burden, JANE JORDAN,
Put your problems in a letter to Jane Jordan who will answer your questions in this column daily.
Tips on the Care Of Your Furs
Here are some terse bits of advice from the National Association of Dyers and Cleaners on the care of your furs: 1. Keep fur garments on hangers that fit around the collar and shoulders. Such hangers will not cut the fur or make sharp creases that strain the leather around the shoulder seams. 2. Make a habit of shaking your fur out every time you take it off or put it on so that the fur will remain fluffy. L 3. Furs—wet or dry-should never come in contact with a heated surface or be placed near heat. Heat makes them brittle, ’ 4. If your fur coat gets wet, hang it in a cool, airy room. Don't brush it until it dries. 5. There are very few furs that are hardy enough to withstand the friction caused by automobile driving. This friction occurs at the shoulder blades, elbows, lower part of the back of the coat, and especially at the cuffs which rub against the steering wheel, 6. Be sure to inspect your furs regularly for rips and tears and have damages repaired immediately
