RED GROSS CMEFTli

TO SPEAK James L. Fieser. director of Home Service for Iake Division of the American Red Cross, to be speaker at the Annual meeting of the Hammond chapter on Wednesday evening. Nov. 20. in Liberty Hall. The Hammond Chapter is most fortunate in (fitting this man for a speaker at the one meeting of the year when all members of the. Chapter come together to discuss the work for the year and vote for new directors. Mr. Fieser is one of the foremost organizers of the Red Cross work in the. country. Under his direction splendid organization has been butlt up for directing Home Service in the l.ake Division. Home Service is the most vital work that the Red Cross has yet undertaken because it offers an opportunity for most personal connection with individual soldiers and (ailors of our Army and Navy and with their families. Because some men and women happen to be of an age or have certain physical fitness better adapted for military service does not make the responsibility of carrying on the war theirs any more than ours who stay home and the least we can do is to protect and comfort in every way possible the interest and families of our fighting men. For that reason Home Service must be proffered In the same spirit of self-forgetfulness and gentune sympathy and understanding friendship in which the soldiers of cur Army and Nwy give their lives ar.d sjrvice to their fellowmen. There is no imaginable form of trouble cr misfortune where Home Ser- . vice does not aim to lend a helping I Land and offer a cheering solution to j t nose who are bearing the brunt of ! the battle. In order that this may be really . helpful and constructive service the Hum,? Eerviee worker requires careful preparation and the study of many subjects. For this reason the Red Cross has Instituted courses for training persons to direct this work. Under Mr. Fieser's direction splendid institutes are being held throughout the lake Division . Much work lies before us in the rehabilitation of the wounded and shell shocked soldiers who are alread being returned to this country. Mr. Fieser has first hand Information cn the subpect, and all members tf tho Hammond Chapter are urged to co-.re out to this meeting and learn what our part Is in the reconstruction rr'gram. 3oy Scout Column

Scouts and says that there is two feet of snow where he is. w. S. S. We are much disappointed to find that Lake county is practically at the bottom of the list in the. per capita amount of money invested In War Saving Stamps. Most of the Indiana counties have from $15 to $20 per person. Our average is only $7.40. Scouts should get out at onca and help raise this average. There is a golden opportunity for energetic salesmen. We are able to find but two or three men who belong to the "Limit Club." There should be not less than 75 in Hammond. A member of the limit club is a person who has bought the limit allowed by the government 11,000. Do Want to Work.! Any Scout wishing to earn some money after school should report to the office on Monday and Tuesday as soon aii school is out.

RED CROSS WORK ' BADLY NEEDED The following letter has been received from Division Headquarters in regard to changes in Red Cross work. "Instructions today received from Washington prescribe that the making of surgical dreslsngs must be stopped Immediately. Chapters are assured that there are in the Red Cross storehouses in America and France, ample supplies of surgical dresings to meet all contingencies that may arise. All other forms of chapter production activity must be continued. Calls from Red Cross Commission in many parts of the world make known the unlimited need for civilian relief. The chapters, therefore, should finish at once, uncompleted orders of garments for refugees, so as to be prepared to take care of additional orders. Work on refugee garments at this time is all emergency work and should be stimulated to the utmost. The need for civilian relief for the winter is pressing and one garment now will be infinitely greater service In saving a life thaa many garments in three or four months from now. Surgical dresings workers should be urged to enlist In the work of garment making. Further instructions will follow as the situation develops. The Surgical Dressings room will continue to be open, with the regular Instructions for work In other lines. November 16.

FOUR GARY HEN qOUE TO GRIEF They Tried Hard to Bunt a Freight Train Off a Railroad Track. Four Gary men came to gr;ef i;i East Chicago yesterday when their car, through some unaccountable spirit of recklopmiess, got hendstron and raa full tiit Into a west-bound freight train ciossinjf I'otsyth avenue. A bystander said that he couldn't understand why that aikomobile should behave as it did. It really seemed to have ;i grudge against that passive, slowmoving train wholly stdate, staying on its own tracks and minding its own business. Not satisfied with its first Shock, the tuto recoiled and jammed Into the train again. .Fortunately the men escaped injury. The automobile,, however, got paid for its meanness and is badly wrecked. In order to account for and explain Jrt part the erratic action of the car the men were arrested and booked on the charge of being drunk. And in dry territory at that. Such inconsistency!
