The new ruling affected both sexes and the first remonstrance came from a bevy of young ladies who flatly refused to pay, gathered on the corner of Main and Willow and stopped everyone who seemed to be headed for the dance hall Threats to boycott the house and put on an independent dance at the Fair pavilion won the day and soon the obnoxious sign was re moved and peace and quiet again reigned. Red Cross Notes At a called meeting of the exe cutive committee Wednesday evening it was decided that two delegates should be sent from this chapter to the Seattle con vention which is called to meet in that city May 6 11 inclusive. The purpose of this convention is to give instru3tions to repre sentatives from every chapter in the district in the latest methods of carrying on the work, especi ally in the surgical dressing de partment. Mrs. L. G. Herren, who has had charge of the work in that department since the chapter was organized, and who has given much in time and ef fort to the cause.and Mrs.Whiteis, formerly head nurse in the Hepp ner hospital, were selected as delegates to attend the Seattle convention. The two ladies will have joint charge of the surgical dressing department in the fut ure. thus dividing the burdens as well as the responsibilities of the position. Mrs. Cohn, president of the Chapter, and an indefatigable worker for the Red Cross will be unable to attend the convention because of illness in her family. Twenty-four members were present at the sewing room Wed nesday and six took work home. FOR SALE Golden Campries Eggs fer setting. Inquire of Mrs. G. U.
