FATHER AT WAR,
TRAGEDY_AT HOME
jEisi.'\al ii .‘are Service Ites
L a Soldier.
The father kisses his wife and kid
dles gondby, shoulders his gun and
marches away to war.
For a time the current of life flows
smoothly for the soldier’s little fami
ly. Then comes the tragedy. Mother
is taken ill. The little brood of broth
ers and sisters is helpless, No father
to turn to. A helpless mother!
To whom can the American soldier’s
family look at this critical period?
Must a brave man’s loyalty to his
country mean desolation and suffering
to those nearest and dearest to him?
No 1 Emphatically no I The Ameri
can people will not permit the fami
lies of their soldiers and sailors to
suffer because their breadwinners are
fighting for their country. And so the
Red Cross Department of Civilian Re
lief has created a nation-wide organ
ization for home service for the fami
lies of soldiers and sailors.
Under the banner of “Home Serv
ice” patriotic men and women have
enrolled and are devoting themselves
to the noble task of helping soldiers’
families to meet and adjust the prob
lems of everyday life and aiding them
to maintain the standards of health,
education and industry.
Home Service—True Service.
Home service means keeping the sol
dier’s children well and in school. It
means tiding the family over financial
troubles, arranging the household
budgat, meeting insurance premiums,
adjusting a mortgage, bringing med
ical aid and legal advice to bear at the
right moment. In abort “Home Serv
ice” la true aarvice, in that it provides
the warm handclasp of friendship
rather than the humiliation of charity.
It calls for sympathetic understanding
and intelligent consideration of the
most vital needs of the soldier’a family.
The Red Cross is pledged to “Home
Service” wherever needed in the Unit
ed States. In each chapter of the Red
Cross there will be a home service
section, under competent hands, whose
mission will be to protect the welfare
of the soldiers’ and sailors’ homes and
to safeguard the normal development
of their families in employment and tn
Ideals of self help and self reliance.

At the Alcazar Tomorrow.
In filming some of the screen for
‘‘A Modern Musketeer,” a Douglas
Fairbanks production released by Art
craft, the company undertook a stren
uous expeditions from the rim of the
Grand Canyon down to the Colorado
river, a descent seven thousand feet
and a distance of more than thirty
five miles along narrow, winding
traits that were just barely wide
enough to allow the mules to travel,
carrying t he actors and supplies.
This party required forty mules,
who made the trip in twenty-two
hours, stopping at Bright Angels
Camp, where the Fairbanks Company
camped while the scenes were being
staged. Despite the discomforts of the
trip, the players enjoyed every minute
of their primitive journey.

shown at the Alcazar theatre on
