Mourning Brassards for Relatlres of
Soldiers and Sailors.
The Woman's Committee of the
Council of National Defense recommended
the wearing of a brassard as
substitute for mourning by the relitVinao

who liave lost their lives in the service.
This action was brought to the
attention of the president of the
lUnited States, who sent the following
letter to Doctor Anna Howard
Shaw, the chairman of the Woman'3
Committee:
Washington, May 22, 1918.
My Dear Doctor Shaw:
Thank you for your letter or yes-i
terday. I do entirely approve of thj
action taken by the Woman's Committee
in executive session, namely,
that instead of the usual mourning a
three-inch black band should be
v - 1
worn upon which a gilt star may be
placed for each member of the family
when life is lost in the service, and
that the band shall be worn on the
left arm. I hope and believe that
thoughtful people everywhere will be
kind enough to make the suggestion
to the committee public with the]
statement that it has my cordial endorsement.
. Cordially and sincerely yours
(Signed* "Woodrow Wilson.
In adopting: this insignia the Wotnan's
Committee desires that ft
sfrould never be commercialized, buf
that it should always be possible for
the.; members of the families of those
? *- - #Vfo cimrpmA saeri
WHO .???e utaub iuu>
fice to.; prepare for themselves thte
badgje of honor.
In order to facilitate the adoption
-of th.? brassard it "has seemed to the
Woman's Committee that the Chapters
of, the American Red Cross are ez^rel!
equipped to prepare
them, and the committee has therefore
reonested these chapters through
tso oVarrman of the War Council of
the American Red Cross to furnish
.the brassards to those who have the
right to wear them, either of black
br*oadcIpth, or of thin black elastic,according
to the texture of the garment
with which it will be worn. To this
band, the regulation military star
c?i/v?n.(tfrtoonffia nf an inch em
ili.LUCU'OiAvvvMVMu
broidered in gold thread shall be applied
by hand. It is understood that
the brassard and star will be furnished
without charge to the widow
and the parents of the soldier or
sailor. To other members of the
family the brassard will fce furnish
t?U <tl WOlr
This wwild not imply any exclusive
right to prepare the brassard, but
would merely be such a sympathetic
service tire meters of the Ret!
Cross delight to render, and it will
be understood by the local units of
the Woman's Committee that this
action is a joint one between their
organization and the American Red I
Cross.

QUARANTINE PLACED ON
FOR ANOTHER WEEK.
At a meeting of the city board of
health on Wednesday afternoon it
was decided to keep the schools and
churches and picture shows closed
for another week. It was given out.
during the week that the ban would
be removed and regular services in
the churches would be resumed on I
Sunday morning and that the schools
would open on Monday.
It is stated that the board reachel
this coclusion, to close for another
week as a precautionary measure, not
that there is any increase in the infuenza
in the city. On the contrary
the situation is improved.
The State board has lifted the
quarantine so far as it is concerned,
and Sheriff 'Blease has been notified
to permit the opening of schools and
churches in the county unless there
-
were communities where it was not
advisable in his judgment so to do.
In other words has left the matter
to his discretion. He has decided
that it is not necessary longer to
keep the churches of the county
closed, except in a few places wher?
the citizens of the community have requested
him to do so, but as a general
thing the churches will be op?n
r?nimtv next Sunday.
iu ~ ? _ - _
We can not see the necessity of
keeping the churches of this city
closed, because the service as a rule
does not last more than an hour,
and this is a time when the people/
should come together in prayer if
there ever wag such a time, and then
there are a great many people who
are looking for an excuse to remain
away from church and it would not
require a very sick person to decide
that he was too sicfc to go to church.
And besides the churches are rarely
over crowded any way.. There is a
great deal more danger, it seems to
? At. ?
us, of spreading the disease in tue
crowded stores and the mills where
the people are kept all: day am! wlw*
tire stores are crowded with a mixed
population and sometimes in wjr
considerable crowds.
But wp have no doubt the board is
acting from what it thinks the best
for the health of the- community and
none of us see thines just alike and
we supnose it is well. As we seel
it in this Christian country the (
^hnr^h and the school are just as
much a factor in the life of the
country and .fust as important as the
channels of commerce and if the one
can go on in i'ts accustomed waythere
should he no reason why the
other should not go on and perform
its proper functions.
Quarantine Orders Explained.
\
The State board of health notinea
Sheriff Blease that the quarantine in
this county could be lifted Sunday
if the local athorities are satisfied
they are justified in dointr so.
; Any town in the county may raise
j thefr quarantine if the board of health
of the town think it advisable.
All schools, churches, etc., in the
country may open Sunday \ except
those notified not to do so.
Sheriff Blease requests the citizens
of any community that think tbe
onenin* of any church or school I
I Sunday or ."Monday will he dangerou? |
I to the health of that community to
report same to him at once so that he
can investigate the same and quarantine
that place.
Some people never will he able to
understand why the churches could
not be kept open for one hour Sunday
morning while cotton mills were running

BED CROSS WORKERS NEEDED
FOR OVERSEAS SERVICE.
The (Department of Personnel of
the Southern Division of the Red 1
Cross has an urgent call for workers <
for overseas service.
The work to be done includes two
separate forms of service. One is
for outpost duty and the other for 'field
representative. The out posts
are situated in close geographical re
lation to the front. The men are
used for the work of distributing hot
drinks, socks, sweaters and other
comforts to the men going into and
coming out of the line. These workers
will remain fixed at the posts to
which they are assigned and will not
be required to move about with the
division. Their work is mjost important
at the same time being extremely
interesting and varied.
The work of the Field Representa
tives will bring such workers in direct
contact with Army Commanders
and the heads of large hospitals.
These men must command the respect
of and be fully fitted to mingle,
on a basis of intimacy with such men.
tbey must have tact, imagination, discretion
and initiative. Men accepted
for this branch of service may be
also used as assistants to zone commanders;
they may be assigned to
work in hospitals and will form a
point of contact between the Red
Cross and the commanding officers
in hospitals and will Jsare considerable
control orer casualty searchers,
social service workers in hospitals
ai?d will assume the duties ?fa reg
ular field representative. These wen
may also be assigned to work in the
Paris hospital to co-ordinate the
work of the various representatives
and will also direct fiome communication
and field searchers. They will
live with the troops and keep in
rtouch with them in matters connected
wtth home communications.
- Twenty men for?each of these kinds
~rtf rtncttHnr*?nntnost and field service. I
are asked frpm. the Southern Division
and the opportunity ia almost a '
nersonal call to service for such men
r t
as feel they.can do this work.
The bureau of personnel, 822 Healv
Building", will be glad to give all
! Information to applicants for these
uositions.
