MOURNING BRASSARDS TO BE
GIVEN BEREAVED FAMILIES
Red C r o* Will Provide Intignia for
Relatives of Fallen Heroes
The American Red Cross will pro
vide mourning brassards to be worn
by relatives of men who have given
their lives to their country, accord
ing to an announcement made Satur
day by the war council. These bras
sards, which are to be used in lieu of
general mourning were suggested
and designed by the woman’s com
mittee, Council of National Defense,
the idea beig heartily indorsed by the
President in a letter he sent to the
woman’s committee.
Brassards will be furnished free
to parents and widow of men who
have died in service and at cost to
other members of the family. The
brassard, which is to be worn on the
left sleeve, midway between the el
bow and shoulder, is a band of black
broadcloth or other material, three
inches wide, on the surface of which
a regulation military star is embroid
ered in gold thread. The number of
stars on the brassard will denote ex
tent of the sacrifice made by each
family. Brassards will be made and
distributed by American Red Cross
chapters working in conjunction with
local units of the woman’s committee
Council National Defense.
An initial supply of materials for
the manufacture of the mourning
emblem has been purchased by the
American Red Cross and will be for
warded to the fourteen divisions of
the organization for distribution
through their chapters. It is expect
ed that the first of the brassards will
be ready for distribution about the
middle of September.
A brief statement accompanying
this announcement says:
“In adopting this insignia the wo
man’s committee desired it should be
never be commercialized, but that it
should always be possible for mem
bers of families of those who have
made this supreme sacrifice to pro
cure for themselves this badge of
honor.”

never will?
Do not try to rub the pain, away,

the pain, and go after that. Remove
the cause, and there can be no pain.
