RED CROSS WORKERS PA Y SMA LL FEE TO AID SOLDIER WORK Managers Pleased With Way the People Are Coming to Fore at Time Funds Are Low There was considerable anxiety f at Red Cross headquarters to-day as) the energetic managers waited to J know the results of selling wool in- 1 Mead of supplying it free. Thaj -celling department is under the di-i rection of Mrs. Hammond who was' of the opinion that at first this radi-! cal change might have a slackening j effect, but that the public would soon i tinderstand that the situation was! forced on the local chapter. The I prices posted this morning were: j Wool for sweater, 75 cents: scarf, 50 tents; wristlets, 15 cents; helmet.! Jo cents; socks, 50 cents. In addi-j tion, five pounds of wool yarn mavj be bought for $5, all of which prices, said President Mrs. Lyman D. Gil-j bert, are less than half cost. "We certainly hope" she added, j "that every one will come to the res-! iue now, for we are pretty near| at the flmit of our treasury. We have spent $22,000 since last No- j \ember for the knitting department; alone, four times as much as was j spent on any other department. Mrs' I lammond is keeping back a supply! for poor people who absolutely can- 1 not afford to pay these prices, as for j example, women in the Home For the Friendless, but the bulk of knit ters will have to help in this way." The local chapter is only follow ing suggestions from national head quarters which recently sent out a bulletin saying: "We receive a number of letters from various parts of the country complaining about the high prices' i harged for wool by Red Cross chap ters.

TUESDAY EVENING, HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH FEBRUARY T9. 1918 where chapters are charging SI.OO a liank, which is on the basis of ap proximately $4.00 a pound. We feel that this is bad policy, that it is bound to cause dissatisfaction and decrease the popularity of the Ked Cross. "Tt seems clear that local chapters' should not be financed from the profits on yarn or other raw mater-j ial sold to individuals, auxiliaries or branches. Such a policy must In evitably cause dissatisfaction, and would react unfavorably to the Red Cross when further appeals for funds are made. "We think that a uniform policy should be adopted by the chapters ot' selling materials substantially at cost, with possibly a small percent age added to take care of the ex penses of handling the business." Going Itight Ahead Notwithstanding „>ome doubt as to how promptly the public will re spond to the sale of wool the Har risburg chapter is going right ahead, increasing; the product and getting in new machines. The next national drive will start in May 6, after the Liberty I.oan campaign, and in the meantime contributions for wool yarn will be most thankfully re ceived. Another invitation to generous in dividual or tirm was extended to-day by Miss Anne McCormick who has ordered another work table, that ver> necessary adjunct which has a stocking making machine at either end. It is not very expensive but must be made especially for this work. One is now in service pre sented by John Harris Lodge. No. 193, Knights of Pythias. Here is the opportunity for some one to do a splendid turn for the Red Cross, namely by stepping in and paying for this table, already ordered. A lo cal jewelry lirm puts on silver i/lates with the name of the donor inscrib ed and this murk of generosity is worth while. He who runs may read the names of persons and firms which are doing their bit for the earnest, hard-working women who are doing so much for the soldier boy. This method of expressing grati tude had its start when the sewing machines were greatly wanted. One now sees quite an array of silver plates gleaming from the dozen or more humming machines that are operated on the second lloor. So far the list includes these honors: Mrs. David E. Tracy, David E. Tracy, the Rotary Club, the Whist Club, Bowman & Company, Dives.

Boys and (.iris Work It was rather unfortunate that the necessity for selling wool yarn came .itist at the time when the Red Cross is so eager to establish the junior membership. The school children of Hasrisburg have shown great inter est in the work and it is the plan of. Sirs. Gilbert and her assistants to make a permanent industry with this beginning. "I believe that work with the hands every day would be a splendid thing for every child, boy and girl," said Mrs. Gilbert this morning. "If the work could be done in companies with a competent in structor it would be much better thsyi each child working alone, but it is remarkable what we are get ting JVi now every day." It would appear that hundreds of boys in the schools have taken up Red Cross work because there is on exhibition in the basement of the Public Library a line lot of handi work, wash cloths, convalescent robes and blankets made by them. They are also turning out warm robes made of patches, neatly put to gether. The toys bring odds and ends from their homes: some are supplied by tailors, and the finished product, though suggesting Joseph's coat, is warm and serviceable. Many garments are being turned out by school boys and girls for the Belgian children. Some little maids .have turned their hands to fashioning the layette for babies, little things de prived of a father and often a V£th er. Along with the layette is snip ped warm attractive baby blankets, which need not be made of new ma terial. The Harrisburg chapter of the Red Cross takes the attitude suggest ed by President Wilson in his mes mage on the junior membership, that this practical work with the hands will be like a general technical train ing for school children and be of vast service to them. The hope is that funds enough will come in to supply the juniors with yarn, for their product is just as finished as that of older persons. YOI'XG MAN'S LEG BROKEN Blain.
