WOMEN MEET TO DISCUSS WAR WORK

(Continued t'rom page one.) Mrs. Carlisle was warmly applauded for her splendid address. How They Ho It la Whiting. Mr. Roy Green of Whiting stated that Whiting women have a list of women who are willing to go to the house of cny one who cares to have them and these women will Instruct how to use the potato in different ways and also wheat substitutes. Miss Alta Adkins of Hammond reported that her committee was getting along splendidly in Child Welfare work ana l.tet the mothers were bringing their b&bies to the clinics even when they felt they were well cared for. Miss Adkins said that there are about 20 dependent children in Indiana to every 1.000 people and no place to put them. Mrs. F. B. Lewis of Whiting said that as 7,ake county had seven Red Cross chapters instead of one that it was rathar hard to get all of the reports In but that they sere coming in and that she expected to have them all soon for a final report. Womei ynt On Their Honor. Chairman Wheeler reported that she felt that the women of this country had been put on their honor in the Question of paving food nd that she thought that every one was doing her share. "But," said Mrs. Wheeler. "If you do not save the government will Issue cards for bread and sugar and then you will have to save." Mrs. Miller of Hammond reported that the registretion of women for war work in Hammond hod been held up because of the absence- of cards but that they now have plenty and the work will be rushed. She thinks that there will be about 33.000 women in Lake county that will register. Mrs Roy Green of Whiting reported that the women would hae to apportion tiit- plan of Dr. Barnard's to the different localities in the food administration. Xak Co. Center of Universe. "It was said that where we used to think before the war that Chicago was the center of the universe that now we know that Lake county is," said Mrs. Green. Mrs. Shortridge of Crown Point said thst she thought the women of this county should hold themselves in readiness to help in every way not only In money but in time ns well. Chairman Wheeler of Crown Point stated that Mrs. Wicks of Gary had told her that she wished that the "Fourteen Minute women had been called Four Minute women" as the speakers thought that they could do more in & four minute talk than In one that was too long. Miss Gwendoline Parry of Crown Point in charge of the publicity for the Lake County Council of Defense stated that she had done most of the publicity work by means of the press. Orate fnl to the Newspapers. Mrs. Wheeler said that they could not be too grateful to the press of this country as the newspapers have given willingly of their stock In trade as no other concern had been asked to do and had helped In every way they could. Chairman Wheeler then quizzed tne women If they wanted to go on with the monthly meetings through the summer or whether they wanted to take a vacation but said that for her part that she would like to go right on with the work. Mrs. J. A. Patterson of Gary eald that the boys In the trenches do not have a vacation and asked why should the women and that the time may come when the people of this country may have hotter things than the weather to put up with. The motion to have the regular meetings every month was passed unanimously and ths next meeting will be held in Crown Point. Splendid Work Son in Whiting'. The work of the Whiting women particularly Impressed Mrs. Carlisle and she listened to the report of Mrs. Conroy with a great deal of Interest The appointment of Mrs. Mary Conroy of Whiting as chairman of the Garden Defense and Food Production committee, brought to light a woman who Is eager to do her bit and when that Is finished devises means of keeping this enthusiasm alive In the workers she has lined up. As chairman of the committee Mrs. Conroy at once got busy securing coworkers. She was certainly successful, their first work being the complete canvas of the city urging every resident to have a garden plot, however small it be. They Got He huffs st Tlrst. In this -work they received many rebuffs but this only stirred them up for bigger things. In their canvas they also urged people to raise poultry, to have pigs, sheep and cows. They not only encouraged this but they took orders for same and many an auto trip was made to the stock yards In Chicago to purchase pigs and sheep. Took Sheep Home on the Street Cars. When 8utos could r.ot be secured the women even brought sheep home on the street cars. Orders were taken for fruit trees and shrubbery and by arrangements with the nursery a reduction was secured by the committee for their delivering them, nnd this money went into their treasury. The chairman also conferred with the owners of vacant lots and by securing permission from them the lots were given out for planting. The i0t were plowed by the city and the fertilizer was furnished by the Standard Oil Co. Ka.7 Entire City Dotted With Gardens. So thorough was the work of the committee that gardens now dot the entire city, many of these lots having been transformed from mere rubbish heaps. When this work was completed Mrs. Conroy was not satisfied to give up, but wishing to still continue in this war work, she decided to organize out of the same bnnd of workers the Trench Comfort Cluh. This idea devolved upon her by the fact that the local chapter of the Red Cross could no longer furnish the local boys leaving for serving with knitted garments, comfort kits etc.. but must send all their work direct to the Red Cross headquarters. This organization is connected with the Home and Foreign Relief work, and co-operates with all ether war working associations, although the aim Is to supply local boys or any other soldier boy who has no parent or other relatives to manifest an interest in their behalf. Clnb Deserves Great Praise. A fund is also to be reserved to be used in ense any of our boys return injured or otherwise disabled. The officers of the club are: Chairman, Mrs. Conroy; vice chairman. Mrs. Etheridge; s?cretary. Mrs. T. S. Boyle; treasurer, Mrs. Cora Eaton. The first plan was to have each member pay $1.00 a moath dues, a more enthusiastic group of workers was never seen. The membership has increased to over 200 and the dues have been changed to $1.00 per year, and it Is the effort of the committee to get. every mother or any woman having a person in service lntereste-d in this club. The members raise money by various means until the treasury now is said to contain over $500 to be used for yarn and other supplies for our boys.- The yarn has Just arrived, and a crowd of

HE GAVE HIS SHIRT OFF HIS BACK

How

Italian Officer Traveling on Helped a New Born Baby.

an One of the wayt to say that a man la good hearted Is to descend to expressive Arnerlranese slang and say "he'd glre you his shirt." A young Italian officer did exactly that gave the shirt o(T his back to a baby Just born. It was during a flight of the Italian refugees just after the Italian army had been tricked by the 1 Austtians. Here's the story: An Italian officer, who had been a olunteer worker at the station when the crush came through, walked Into the American Red Cross office at Hologna, Italy, and told of a poor young woman who had given birth to a baby on the train In which he was riding a few night's previously. They had been riding for over 18 hours, and the FULL MAN-SIZED HAM SANDWICH What Ten Minutes for Refreshments Means in Modern War. Think of what refreshments mean "over there." Think of the Sammle or the Pollu ccmlng out of the trenches with a thirty-six hour leave of absence, getting aboard the train or motor on the L. O. C. the Line of Communication between the front and the rear. Think of these tired fellows knitters will soon be at work. The club has also Juat pledged $100 for canteen work in France. Of this amount $25 goes to the Red Cross, $25 to the K. of C. fund, $25 to the Salvation Army and $25 to the T. M. C. A. fund. Boxes donated by the Standard Oil Co. have been placed In prominent places to collect funds for tobacco for the soldiers. Club Meets Every Tuesday. The club meets every Tuesday afternoon, but a number of women who have children have said their husbands had volunteered to take care of the children in the evenings so they could go to these meetings, so for this reason the club will meet Tuesday evenings after this week. Another thing this club has done was to secure the donation of two lots from Henry S. Davidson, located on Schrage avenue. These were auctioned off at the Frincess Theatre Saturday night, bringing $90 apiece, the $130 going foi this Red Cross drive. G. 0. P. ON HAND FOR CONVENTION (Continued from page one.) couragement of many of the leader? who have much to do with the party's affairs. They do not regard Ell's a. being a strong man in the coming campaign if nominated, because 1t It known that the democrats are gathering up a lot of campaign material to be used against hira. Just what It Is has not come out as yet. but it Is said they are preparing for the situation. When I X. Hlnes. of Cra wfordsvllle. announced his candidacy a few day? ago against Ellis there appeared to bo a grand rush of support for him among prominent Republicans end they are boosting him to a finish. Hineg was a candidate for the same nomination two years ago. and many Republicans felt that he should have the place on the ticket. . On the other hand, eme of the friends of Ellis say it will be unfair to him to refuse to renominate him this time. They say that if the other Republicans now holding state offices are to be renominated, and it ! cftain that they will be. there should be no discrimination against Ellis They remark that he Is as much entitled to four years In office as any of the others. And there Is talk among some of the Ellis boosters to the effect that they may spring candidates against some of the other Republican state officials who are now without opposition. It ! not thought, however, that this will be done. The Fifth district Is making a hard fight to nominate Polon A. Enloe. of Panvllle. for Judge of the Appellate court. The candidates against him are F. M. Thompson, of Versailles, and Charles F. Remy of Indianapolis. Thre are two nominations to make from the southern district, and Thompson, who made a good shorwlng In the convention four years ago, apepars to have one of them safely tucked awav. The fight for the second nomination Is between Remy and Enloe. All of the other cor.teats will be minor and they are arousing but little Interest. Word from Washington sars that Will H. Hays.

Train

wretchedly poor and disheartened mother had been Jammed In with the hundreds of other frightened Italians on the same train. Hungry, tired and miserable and In a frightfully weakened condition, she had scarcely su3icient clothes for herself, not to speak of properly caring for a newborn babe. The young officer stripped himself of his shirt, and there among this frightened, half starved, forlorn crowd the poor Italian Infant was wrapped in Us first body covering. Mother and babe were afterwards nursed back to health, clothed and looked after by the American Red Cross. And this is only one small, isolated Incident among thousands that come under the working of the Red Cross. stopping ten minutes for refreshment at a Red Cross Canteen. Think of a big cup of hot coffee and a wealth of man-sized ham sandwiches served by the lied Cross women with the Joy of servlca In their eyes. Think of ten minutes for refreshments within sound of the guns such refreshments served by ruch women. Did ever a weary lad have such refreshments? Did ever a cup of coffee and a sandwich taste so good? It Is service like this, the supplying of "food that's got a homey taste" at p time when a man's spirits are likely to be at 'owest ebb, that moved a Commanding General of the American Forces to write on December 80: "The extent of the work of the Red Cross Is only limited by the number of members it has and the amount of fuxds available fer Its nse." Chairman, has been working- night and day on the draft of the Indiana state platform, and that when he arrives today be will have well in mind the Ideas that will be contained It it In fact, it Is thought that the platform will be largely what Hays waats It to be, for it Is to stand as a sort of declaration of aims, purposes and ideas of the Republican party of the country this year, owing to the fact that It will be read to the convention by the national chairman of the party. It Is said that the platform will not "deplore'" anything, but that it will be full of affirmative declarations of what the party stands for. There la an apparent disposition among party leaders to avoid open and direct criticism of the Fresident in regard to the conduct of the warfl. but that it will tell duct of the war. but that it will tell plainly what the Republicans think iay that the things that are now belgig accomplished In the war are due to the criticism by the Republicans, and that the country needs the Republican party in power In order to push the war to the utmost limit. How far the platform will go In Its denunciation of Germany remains to be seen. "THE OLD RELIABLE" tYhen You Want a PRIVATE and CONFIDENTIAL LOAN Any Amount up to $300 on Furniture.
