This -work with the serv. !c men Includes .atr.onj other thins", j til obtaining of back pay. Liberty; bonds subscrihed for and n.t received, j compensation for d'sabil.ty received in ( the service, allotment cf nay not re- j (eved by relatives of service men. and oernment allowance to dependent j of service nin. While it 'vai believed that tne aftr care cf the returned j service men would be completed witb.-i in a year after the wa r. 'he actual fact is that this work will not be finished j for sometime to come. A considerable part of the present j and recent Red Crj.ss work in Whitirv ; oons'sts of arrang-ir.ff medical and hos-j pita! treatment for discharged mom ! The percentage of disabled from Whit.- j !r.g inductions is laryr than 5? gen-; eraily Supposed. It will be rerr.emh- j ered that there were over four hundred) enlistments fro mthe Standard Oii p:ant alone and other enlistments froi.i the city brought the number Up to several hundred more. There are i ' ruir.ber of cases of erl.u d'sab-'.ity i and a much larger number cf min d.sabillties. so that the lied C.-v:-a j constantly endeavored to l-ririi; to the! ex-service man's attention the opportunlties offered for the arc .-f these cases, whether major or nv.no.-. by as-j signing them to dental ai.d medical treatment or seeing that th(y were placed in the proper hospital. Besides this, the local chapter l as tried to bring to the attention of the service men the opportunities offered for "Vocational Education, under vhich -a disabled man may- be trained 'n the trad" or profession of his choice, whl'; at the same time receivi.is coi-.pensa-t:or. in a sufficient arr. to Maintain a !.c!lhood for himself and d'peaden:s. , In this worlv the Red Cross met son-.e cases with the disinclination : th service man himeelf to ,t-:e advantage of these agendo?. In the tir-: months following the sin.r.e Armistice there was mueli dtfti cf th-i wily in a i o. getting results from : llu: War Risk Insurance, a. various other agencies :u :r.:; to the multiplicity of iori: ;o lowtd in procuring oce ;r i-. .no of relief.

This I . onists Of emergency, and. :n scir.o j es, cont'nued. cure cf unfortunate j families. Since January 1. IC2 wii-u I t hr local chapter was givtn permijci ei i to extend lis Home Service to the civil- j 1'in population. It has been carrying on v ork of the same nature formerly! tione by the Whiting' Belief & Aid So- ! ciety when that organ. zat ion wu.ii n existence. Vnder this plan it is th iuty or the chapter to use rotn time j and money for the relief of any dcrvinsr case. A3 instances of this, the r.fpter !a now paying rent for two, snd at times a third, deservir.g idow? v ith small children has bought furtni .:e. clothing and bedding for on1-v-i jow and family whose hon e wa? l urned, haa paid for outfitting a I'Ut T.t to a tuhvrculosis h"spiti: in another case haa expended cighty-r ight tioilara for nursing in a family wlcre i o children were cnti.-aliy ill and only expert nurng wo'ild .--ave them; 'he children are now -v ri,. ti,,s jS a.)t the enly case of pro idirg a nurse at th proper time.

A w.d.w wish thrv small children, who has been detortca Vy her husband, is being assisting by the purchase of a stated amount or g.-oeerlea each week. The ciiaptir co-operating with other agencies for leitff, both local and county. The Red Crcs locally tins not stressed publicity t pre claim' t'warks, and possi'jly, therefore, its ac1 iv. tits ar not fully understood It; I i nussion is not cr.a c.iieily of cuarity, for there are institutions for that par. pae. Its aim is to afford eraernency relief, for the main part by temporary loans to persons in unexpectedly unfortunate circumstance;, giving to itc beneficiaries all reasonable time to repay the loan. This has bee.: d no and will continue to be don". in thctc matters it also tries to cut rod tape by being constantly ready f-jr the necessary relief or emergency care. In ar. dvisory capacity n has assisted nj numerous cases not heretofore ir.er.-i lioned in procuring pertnanor.t connection between tha nc-dy ind-vidua! ! or family and the itate or c.iunty agency authorized to provide the rtll?" pecjuliar to the given gase, such us Ecir dof Children's Guardians, tuberculosis sanitaria. and so forth. In this way It has accomplished an appreoiable amount of good with a minimum actual expenditure. Aside from this, of course, ad already mentioned. i the soldier and sailor relief, w.nicb is considered a patriotic duty being- expressed by the community through the chapter. Tht only paid worker In "U'hit'.ng Is the chapter secretary, whose salary Is kept on a nominal basis by reason ot additional employment, although sue Is to be found at Red Cross headquarters at all times. The office space for the chapter is furnished free cf charge. The chairman of the Home Service

Section gives of his time and legal services without charge. G A 1 4 2 RED CROSS ... Host of the conditions above recited are not peculiar to the Whiting chapter, but prevail in every chapter In the county. A membership In this Roll Call is one dollar, and of this sum fifty cents remains In the chapter for local use and fifty tents is alloted to the National AtiiiTi. en Red Cross for lt activities. It ouid seen that enough has already hern said of the needs of starving w.vmcn and children abroad to make iuii'.it:' p'.ea u th-.s sround unnecessary. It is ci 'mated that one million children will i) c this winter in but one section of'Europe unless relief 's furnished. In the world turmoil so icstruc? i vo cf the sentiment cf giving since the 3r, we think, nevertheless. ther is sufficient of the spirit o! the brot herhod remaining in our prosperous community to meet the requirements. Cf course only a portion of your fifty cents goes for this purpose, tic cii'U'iee remaining in this country f . r i'iMcr relief and other gcuera! Red C ;'oss activties. R. E.
