We have first hand
evidence that the Alpine Red
Cross women can do more
things than knit and cut
bandages. We walked into the
new , Red Cross quarters a few
j clays ago where everything had
jbeen overhauled and'* brightened
up and found six of the regular
workers as busy as bees, each
with a paint brush and a can of
varnish they were giving the new
cabinets a through dressing up.
Earlier in the day they had cut
and put patithras in the cabinets.
Every one who saw the job pro-
nounced it good. The ladies
