Women s Work
For Red Cross
Since the war was declared, 669 paid
©fflcers und employes have been ad
fled to the National Red Cross Head
Quarters' staff, and of that number
Seventeen receive salaries of from $2,
000 to $6,000 a year. The highest sal
wry added since war was declared Is
Ββ,000. The highest paid official in the
National organisation received |7,600,
fend he was on the staff on a peace
basis.'
f
Of those receiving less than $2,000 a
year, forty-nine now receive salaries of
over a hundred dollars a month. There
are thlrty-elgiht clerks being paid >100,
while clerks and messengers receiving
less than $100, number 481.
In addition to paid officers and em
ployes In National Headquarters, the
number of full time volunteers now
contributing their services to the Red
Cross Is seventy-seven. Practically all
the Important administrative positions
created since war was declared are fill
ed by volunteers.
During the last month, although the
number of Red Cross members has In
creased from 1,547,412 to 3,C21,011 and
the administrative work at National
Headquarters has increased substan
tially. the number of paid employe*
has Increased from 707 to 62 4. This Is
partly to be acoounted for by the de
centralization of tlhe work among thir
teen territorial divisions under a new
plan of organization adopted by the
War Council.

My Lockhart Mill-End Half-Price Day
Will Embalm The High Priced Heaps
Of Merchandise And Bury Them From
View To The Most
Searching Eye
The discriminating public have shown by the immense crowds that
they are tired of tread-mill ideas that are rapidly sinking into decline. The
stamping thousands of busy feet no longer follow the dull platitudes of
ordinary traffic established in their great-grandfathers' day. My invigor
ating mill-end atmosphere stands out alone in the mercantile history of
the whole country. Tomorrow, at my Half-Price-Day, everybody will be
"gingered up." It will be snap, jump and hustle, for the battles of economy
•We on, and the buying public are in the forefront. And every customer
will be immediately compensated for the time and money spent who waits
at the Greenhut Store door, at the opening hour tomorrow morning.

ANNA
CASE
of the
Metropolitan
opera
sings THE
STAR SPANGLED BANNER
Anna Case typifies the spirit of America. She radiates patriotism.
She has put her very soul into the singing of this song for
2k NEW EDISON
" The Phonograph with a Soul "
All of the passionate fervor of undying patriotism which Anna Case ponrs Into
her rendition of her nation's hymn and every tone beauty of her silvery voice are
literally re-created by the New Edison. This is not an empty claim. Miss Case
has stood beside the New Edison and sung in direct comparison with its lie
Creation of her wonderful voice. Thousands of music lovers and the music critics
of numerous great newspapers found themselves uuable to dctcct her real voico
from the New Edison's lie-Creation of it.
HEAR ANNA CASE
We want you to hear her sing the Star Spangled Banner. You will feel that she is in the room.
You will rise involuntarily. If you are a man you will take off your hat. That's how real it ia.
Come and see for yourself.
