THIS IS THE TRUE RED CROSS SPIRIT A Little Story With a Big Thought in It. A month ago the Red Cross chapter in.Bay City, Mich,, received g hurry up call for 160 dunnage bags. ‘Troops were about to move, and through an oversight thelr eguipment was not complete. The bags had to be made and sent. within 48 hours. A request for hélp was sent over the town, and the stores were searched successfully for the right materials. Among those who quickly responded and came to the chapter workrooms to help ‘were. two little girls, sisters, about ten and twelve years of age, each eager to lend s hand and do something for the boys who were going to the front. All day Jong ‘the fingers of the womep and the little girls were fairly flylng. Bag after bag received the last ‘stitch un- til scores were piled up ready for shipment, Closing time came, and the woman superintending the making of the bags counted those completed and announced that if every one of the workers -could come early the next morning ‘and work all day the bags would surely be finished in time for shipping by evening. Two crestfallen little girls, the little sisters, were wait- ing for her at the door as she de- parted. : Red Cross Dunnage Bage. “We are awfully sorry, ma'am,” said the older of the two, “but we can't come back tomorrow.- You see tomor- row we have to—" And, without fin- ishing the sentence, she looked back wistfully at the pile of bags. “It is too bad you can’t come back,” sald the superintendent, “but I want to :thank you, and we all thank you,| for: the-work:you've.done today.. You. two have been:a:wonderful heip.;apd;| that pile of bags.wouldn't he nearly, so; big If you hadn't. been here. Good' night.” 4 The next morning when the super- intendent came down to unlock the workrooms for the day she was gston- ished to see the two little giris stand- ing in the cold by the locked door. “Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" she llld, “1 thought you said you couldn’t come?” “Oh, we knew those Red Cross bags Just . bad_to .be finished for the sol- diers,” exclaimed the little one, with glistening ~eyes, “and we. got up at three o'clock this morning and got the washing done early |” " SUPPLYING FRENCH HOSPITAL?. ‘Fhe,Red Cross hospital supply serv- fce.ln France has 16 warehouses filled with. drugs, medicines, surgical instru- ments and dressings. It serves 8,438 French wmilitary hosplialg, TERRORS GIVEN INDIAN NAMES. Mrs. Wilson Credited With Idea That Really Has.a Good Deal to Be -Said in Its Favor. Selecting names for the many new vessels soon to slide from American ways_Is a task .needing patience and applieation. :Ht-ls one; of the.duties-of; Assistant :Secretary..Roosevelt :0f s the] pavy:department, avho; though he fln(ls? many volunteer nssistants, Is always hard pressed in his pursuit of suitable names: The wife of President Wilson has now come to his aid with a list of names. 4 Mrs. Wilson is a descendant of Po- cahontas. The ndmes she suggests may be calculated to spread terror among the enemies of America afloat. They are taken from Indian history. When an enemy vessel sees the Sin- namahoning approaching flylng the Stars and Stripes, the captain is likely to think one of the devils of the deep Is in pursuit. If the Sinnamahoning 18 followed by the Sisladobsis and the Sisladobsis by the Skaneateles and the Shawangunk—all names conferred by the president’s wife—the enemy may well belleve that the day of legendary sea terrors has returned. Suppose, again, that the Saccarappa, ‘the Sagaporack, the Tobesofka and the Tonganoxie were to sail forth together, 1s there any power on the sea’s surface or beneath that would court encounter with such an orthographical onslaught? There is a warwhoop in every name. If the Shickshinny does not suggest scalping, or the Sheslhiequin an ambush, it is because one is unfamiliar with In- dian nomenclature. ‘I'this evening to. be held in the Flks’ .
