Equipped for an emergency hospital during the days when such a haven might be necessary, the large, handsome rooms are now being used for not only the local Red Cross activities but also the War Finance Committee office and the floor are also two kitchens, one to be always ready in case of hospital emergency, the other for preparation of any light lunches for Red Cross workers might want.

Light, airy and spacious, the rooms still retain much of the dignity which clings to what was one of the city's outstanding homes, bunt many years ago by General William P.

Orr. The same furnishings and draperies that were used in the recently vacated Red Cross headquarters on Wayne street fit with perfect advantage in the new location. With the growth of the organization's activities, much larger space was demanded which is now amply provided. Mrs. Pauline Tafel, general chairman, has her office in the front room that spans' the second floor.

Here roomy, built-in bookcases hold her files. The walls have been painted a cheerful cream color that blends with the rnassive mahon- gany woodwork. Visitors are provided privacy. Ample Work Space A hall through the middle of the second floor has the staff assistants' reception room on the west side. Back of this is the supply room where commodious cupboard space accommodates articles necessary for their work.

Across the hall is a general room for Mrs. John B. Judkins, in charge of volunteer special services, and Mrs. Benson Jackson, production chairman. In this east room are long tables for cutting and packing.

At the rear of the second floor, east side, in a storage room and a room for the junior partment have given generous help in readying the headquarters for occupancy. They have performed all the heavy tasks the women were unable to accomplish, such as installing screens, putting up flags and fitting cords into all the window sashes so the windows may be raised and lowered without props. Cards are being made which will direct visitors to various offices. All this work has been accomplished in a surprisingly brief time. The rooms look as if they had been in use for an indefinite period instead of less than two weeks.

The wheels of welfare work move on with quiet efficiency. Women of Piqua are doing their part on the home front and making a splendid job of it. Aid society, which group is sponsoring the Troop, and the Troop committee members, Mrs. Claude Harris, Mrs. Maude Woodson, and Mr.

There is all kinds of storage space on this third floor so that no excess material need clutter the downstairs but at the same tome is easily accessible if needed.
