NURSES GOING
j INTO SERVICE
GIVEN_ OUTFIT
The impression seems to have been
spread throughout the Pacific Noith
west and Alaska that in preparing for
service as a Rod C ross Nurse in the
Army a great deal of expense mqst
be incurred by the nurse. This is a
false impression, as the Red Cross
outfits the nurse with all the extraor
dinary things needed for service
j abroad, 'he having to supply only the
i most ordinary underwear.
Will the Chapters in this Division
see that this impression is corrected,
says a letter to the local chapter, and
that the Red Cross aside from supply
ing the following list, allows $20.00
towards nurses’ shoes; $12.00 toward
heavy stockings and $ 1 h.00 toward
heavy underwear when being outfit
ted for service abroad, providing they
save their vouchers and forward them
to Headquarters.
This equipment for foreign service
is provided without cost by the Red
Cross to nurses assigned to foreign
service with Army, Navy, or Red
Cross: Hat, outdoor uniform (blur
serge), coat or heavy ulster, cape (if
dress is u*ed), gloves (tan kid),
gloves (woolen), shirtwaists (two
white), shirtwaist (blue flannel)
gray wash uniforms, four; aprons.

sleeve links, two pairs; insignia on<

tights, two pairs; steamer blanket

IRELAND WILL
BUILD PLANES
I FOR AIR CORPS
DUBLIN, Feb. 28. — Tho develop
ment of aircraft factories and ship
yards in Ireland this spring is ex
pected to open up a new industrial
! ei a in many sections of the country.
iaok oC facilities for technical train
ing in the South of Ireland lias been
j a long standing problem which the
i new yards and factories will help to
solve.
For the present, the business of
airplane manufacture will be earned
on in existing buildings that are be
ing placed at the disposal of the Gov
ernment, but as rapidly as possible
new factories of the most up-to-date
type will be erected. The develop
ment is not intended to be merely of
temporary character.
Flight station and training depots
' which are being erected in various
parts of the island are permanent
structures, as it is believed that Ire
land irom its geographical position,
will have an important share in the
post-war commercial development of
aviation. It will be the gateway for
i e very attempt at Trans-Atlantic flight
; attempts which are expected to be fos
; cred and encouraged by the govern
I nents of both the United States and
ireat Britain.
Shipbuilding will center in Dublin
.nd Cork. Efforts arc being made to
ecu re a national shipyard for Dub
ai, which will also be the site of the
argest of the aircraft factories, em
ploying 2,000 skilled men and 2,000
girls. The minimum wage paid to
women workers in the aircraft fac
I Cories, it is announced will be $7.50 a
week, which is about three times the
average wage paid to women at pres
ent, except in munition works.

RED CROSS
i MAY TRADE
WITH HUNS
NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—The Amer
ican Red Cross has been granted the
only license issued for trading with
the enemy. Under this permit the
society may send letters and parcels,
food and money, to Americans held
prisoners in Germany. To no other
person or organization in the United
States is this privilege granted.
In return, the condition was im
posed that the Red Cross must at all
times act as a medium through which
German parents may communicate
with sons who are interned in this
country. At present the Red Cross is
carrying on such operations through
agents in Switzerland.
