ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
He knew the value of a merry jest and a hearty laugh.
He was simple in manner, dress and bearing, but was
big of heart and brain.
He was too great a nature to care one way or another
about his ancestry. The living generation was of vital
importance to him.
He did not advocate war for his own glorification, but
i to liberate human beings from slavery. All men were his
brothers and his equals before his creator.
SECRETARY LANE’S
WIFE DIRECTING A
CORPS OF WOMEN
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. — Under
the daily, personal direction of Mrs.
Franklin K. Lane, wife of the Secre
tary of the Interior, nearly half a
thousand women of the Interior De
partment arc using every spare min
ute sewing, knitting, and packing
things which will comfort and cheei j
sick and wounded American soldiers
m France.
When the office day ends they hur
ry from all parts ot official Washing
ton to the rooms in Secretary Lane’s
big building, where the Interior De
partment War Work Association is in
continuous session, to turn in finished
work and get material ior more sweat
ers, sheets, towels, paja.ua.-, .toekings
slippers, and the other artic.es which
are packed in big shipping cases,, one
of which has gone to France every 10
days. And hereafter' the Association
will ship a box every week.
Auxiliary of Red Cross
The Interior Department Wrar Work
Association is an auxiliary of the
American Red Cross. It had its be
ginning, almost immediately after the
war with Germany was declared when
the Home Club, which is a social or
ganization of the department with
nearly a thousand members, began
planning for reliet work, h or a time
the association met in the Home Club
building on Jackson Place, and in the
early days of the movement its out
put was distributed through the Amer
ican-French clearing house. When its
1 activities outgrew the quarters in the
Home Club the workrooms were
—
moved to the Interior Building.
Here Mrs. Lane, surrounded by the
wives and daughters of her husband’s
assistants, commissioners, directors,!
and chiefs, manages an organized pa-i
triotism which ramifies into the fai j
north where the A.laskan Engineering i
Commission is pushing a railroad to!
reach precious coal deposits; into so- \
lated reservations where the people of j
the Indian Service are; into the aridj
plains where the men of the Geologi
cal Survey are working; into the
depths of coal shafts where the Bu
reau of Mines’ experts gather; into
prairie towns where the men of the
General Land Office work; into the
green-clad irrigation areas where the
engineers of the Reclamation Service
•ire constructing canals and ditches
into the mountains and canyons and
great forests of the big trees where
the rangers and fire fighters of the,
National Park Service climb the trails(
and to the desks and offices of the Bu- j
reau of Education, the Pension Bu-,
reau,'the Patent Office, and all the
other branches and divisions 01 the
Interior Department.
Men Furnishing Money
For the men of the service are back
of the women with their money. Thou
sands of dollars have been pledged
and paid and the enthusiasm in the
good cause has been so practical in its
nature that though the work is only
just beyond the stage of initial organ
ization Mrs. Lane has enough iunds
in hand to endow 19 beds in the In
terior Department ward of a hospital
in a French city.
