In 4 4 other countries one of the most 4 4 Impressive things about the 4 4 American Red Cross Is the size _ 4 of Its membership, attesting 4 m truly popular approval. 4 4 This Christmas, when our country la out of the deep waters + of the war, every dollar paid for 4 4 an annual membership In the 4 4 Red Cross will be a direct 4 4 Christmas gift to our land, air 4 4 and sea forces and to thoss who 4 4 have felt the sting of war In I t way that we In this country 4 4 have not experienced. The mtn Istratlons of the Red Cross will 4 4 be as good a substitute for 4 4 Christmas at home as can be 4 4 furnished under the clreuro- 4 4 stances. 4 4 The women of Amerloa, see- 4 4 Ing in the Red Cross an exteo slon upon a universal scale of 4 4 the mothering instinct, will be 4 4 quick to answer "Here" to the roll call, because service and 4 4 sacrifice are womanly qualities 4 4 and they are Red Cross quail- 4 ties.
