SMITH, 211 Ninth street, recently received a letter from her sister, Miss Lena Miller, who is with Dr. F. H. Besley's unit, known as Base Hospital Unit No. 12, asking ; for a phonograph and some records. She stated that they o Nily had one machine in the entire hospital and that even though : twas mn use all of the time, all of the rooms could not be benefited, ind that another machine could be used to advantage. Mr. and Mrs. mith have purchased a lovely phonograph and a few records which re now Franceward bound, but they appeal to the folk of Wil- nette, who happen to have tired of any of their records, or who feel ke donating one to our boys abroad. Surely it would be a pleasant Christmas surprise for our boys b have some new entertainment at that time. The records may be aken to the Red Cross headquarters in the Boulevard building this veek, and they will be packed and shipped at once. Surely this is ime way of doing one's bit. & v A branch of the children's tin box und has been established in Chicago, vith Miss Louise Hately of the Chi- ago Beach hotel as chairman, and a committee, including Mrs. H.
