WARM GARMENTS
FOR REFUGEES
Red Cross Women to Help in
Big Project During
Winter
Further recognition of the splendid
service given by workers of the Har
risburg chapter, American Red Cross
was given yesterday in a letter from
the Pennsylvania-Deluware Division
headquarters, assigning to the local
chapter another large allotment of
work to be accomplished. The new
order is for more than 3,000 gar
ments for refugees. To accomplish
this task as soon as possible Miss
Anne McCormiek, director of the
Woman's Bureau this morning Is
sued an. appeal for more workers.
"The workrooms will be closed for
the entire coming week, beginning
next Monday," said Miss McCormiek.
'"The next week wo will want every
old worker buck and all others who
can possibly come."
The new Bed Cross order signed
by officials of the Pennsylvania-
Delaware Division, asks that the
following articles be made by the
local chapter's volunteer workers:
500 children's dresses.
500 Middle blouses.
500* boys' shirts. *
1,000 pinafores.
524 petticoats.
It is probable, although It' is not
definitely known, that these gar
ments will be sent to starving and
freezing refugees in France and
Belgium. Despite strenuous efforts
put forth by relief workers, the suf
fering among these people has not
yet been alleviated to any great ex
tent and official reports say it is im
perative that aid be rushed to them
at once.
Workers are asked by Miss Mc-
Cormiek to register at once in the
Red Cross headquarters in the base
t of the Public Library for im
j mediate service.

CHILD WELFARE
COMMITTEE WORK
Cumberland County Women
Busy Aiding Orphans of
War and Epidemic
Conservation has become a much
used word in American households.
We have been asked to fconserve
food, fuel and clothing, but tho lat
est and most urgent plea from tho
Government is to conserve child-life.
The war and the influenza epidemic
have made terrible inroads upon our
t>opu!ation, and health authorities
are urging the people to work with
their help to make each little life a
sturdy, healthy one.
One of the most successful com
mittees working towards this end
Is the Child Welfare Committee of
Cumberand County, of which Mrs.
John E. Sweeny is chairman. When
all subscriptions are In, this com
mittee will have raised $1,400 to
cover tuition, expenses and salary of
a nurse who shall have a month's
special training under Miss Pucker,
of Philadelphia, who is an expert
in this work. She will then direct
and instruct those women of each
district committee who wish to help
the health of their individual com
munity. She will also be at the serv
ice of any one who lives In the coun
ty and Jn sickness cannot obtain a
nurse. '
This committee has about com
pleted a census of all orphaned chil
dren In the community for the pur
pose of finding homes for them and
finding If any of them nee'd any extra
nourishment/ to prevent contraction
of tuberculosis.
This is a big work and a necessary
one. Mrs. Sweeny urges that every
one who has not sent in their sub
scription should do so at once.

Soldiers Ask Trimmings
For Christmas Tree
Soldiers at the Army Reserve
Depot at New are anx
ious to make their Christmas as
cheery as possible. They of course
want a Christmas tree first of all.
It was an easy matter for the sturdy
boyß to secure a tree, but in order
to make it a real Christmas tree lots
of shining tinsel, sparkling icicles
and glowing balls are needed. The
men told their story to Mrs. Gilbert
at the Red Cross headquarters, and
through her they are asking tho
people of this city to help make
their Christmas as joyous as it can
be made.
Any one who wishes to contribute
Christmas tree trimmings for the
tree should leave them at Red Cross
headquarters this week.

LIST TO WOMEN
Returning Soldiers Are Get
ling Back Places They
Left During War
Women are no longer sought by
the Pennsylvan.a Railroad for serv-1
ice in this section, and it is only a I
question of a short time until sonic J
of those already in the employ of the j
railroad will have to be dismissed, |
it was stated at the Pennsylvania
Railroad employment bureau, No. 5
Grace street, this morning.
The return and expected return
of a large number of former em
ployes from United States service
will satisfactorily relieve the scaie
ity of male labor owing to war con
ditions, which made the employment
of women for many positions neces
sary.
Soldiers Get Jobs
. On some of tho divisions of the
Pennsylvania system women have
already been relieved from a num
ber of positions. The return of for
mer soldiers and sailors lias been
rather inconsiderable here, and the
few that have already returned to
work have not created such a sur
plus of labor that any women have
been discharged.
It is only a question of a few
months, however, it is believed, until
it will become necessary to place
some female employes on the reserve
list. The return to service of sol
dier employes, as yet inconsiderable,
will increase steadily during the
next several months, and will oper
ate to-create a big surplus of labor.
Many to Have Places
Some women will have to be laJd
oft when this condition arises. At
tho employment bureau it vas said
to-day that women now filling posi
tions formerly held by men and for
whom no other work can bo found,
will be placed on tho reservo list.
But many more women then for
merly will remain ,n the railroad
service.
In the several yards and offices in
Harrisburg and vicinity many women
are filling clerical poscitions for
merly held by men. A large num
ber of these may bo sxpn "t( 0. to re
main on the railroad employment
roll. Since the commencement ct
the war most clerical positions have
had eight-hour days instead of
twelve-hour days. This will make
necessary a greater number of em
ployes. In some instances, it is in
timated by officials, tho women have
made themselves so useful chat they
will be retained in tlic,c positions,
regardless of the number of men
who return, and just as good posi
tions will be found for tho returning
employes. .
This especially applies to women
Ailing clerical positions, hut the al
almost general eight-hour day will
make necessary the mention of
women in numerous otlio* positions.
It is almost certain that some will
•>0 retained In all of tho several
branches of the service In which
they are now employed in addition
to clerical work. Included will be
train callers, car cleaners, watch
women and others.

Savings Hardly Touched
For the most part, the Bonds
were purchased by the rank and
file of the people, and without draw
ing on the resources of their savings
accounts. They .represent in many
cases a systematic saving which be
gan with the first bond issue. It is
generally conceded that the bonds
constitute an enormous saving which
never would have taken place
without the war. This huge sum
in Liberty Bonds, possessed by the
people of the city, is recognized as
a potent force in the prevention of
hardship should a period of indus
trial depression follow the signing
of peace and /the demobilization of
the armies.
Shoes As Christmas Gifts I
Are sure to be appreciated—especially j
when purchased at Steckley s . j :

Gift is much more appreciated than the gift that lasts only a few

That is the reason we have made special efforts this year * '
to have our Holiday .stock of Shoes and slippers the most com- .1 j
plete we'have ever had. The assortment ranges through a series j| ■

j you if you are deaf as well as for
I your friends who are compelled
| to strain their vocal cords to
make you hear what they havec
to say.
