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. Instances have been reported

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. Pome
roy & Stewart: Harrisburg Chapter,
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion: Harrisburg Lodge, Xo. 1,117,
Loyal Order of Moose; Harrisburg
Lodge. No. 12, B. P. O. E.: Miss
McCulloeh, Miss Kolbensclitag and
Miss Ida Swope, the Harrisburg
Telegraph and the Patriot.
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.

Dispatcher to Direct
Trolley Car Traffic
To avoid congestion of traffic at the
corner of Cameron and Market
streets the Harrisburg Railways
Company has announced that a dis
patcher will be placed on that corner
to facilitate the handling of the big
crowds in rush hours. The dispatcher
will see that cars move away from
the corner promptly and will also act
as an announcer. When a car Is
leaving and there are prospects of
seating more than capacity, lie will
announce when the next car for the
same destination will arrive. Reg
ular schedules are now being kept
ou all lines, company officials say.
and the time between cars will be
but a few minutes.
During the morning hours, cars
returning from Steelton as "specials"
must pick up passengers. Those!
which do not go to Market Square
and are destined for the carbarn,
must announce that they will go to
Cameron and Market streets and that
passengers must be transferred. This
is to avoid passengers waiting a long
time on regitlnr cars. The new dis
patcher Is given authority to, send
a car destined for the carbarn, to
any other line, if there are a large
number of passengers abroad, who
are bound for that line.
