Army And Naxy Auxiliary Office Force.; Army And Naxy Auxiliary Office Force. Top row, left to right-Miss Louise Clement, Miss Harriet Hilton, Miss harriet Hilton, Miss Grace Hanauer, Mrs. H. B. Luhn, Mrs. Tuttle, Mrs. Frank T. Post, Mrs. D. A. Clement and Miss Harriet Post. Middle row- Mrs. John Fletcher, Mrs. J. D. Sherwood, Mrs. J. Neilson Barry. Lower row- Miss Katherine Clark, Miss Polly Graves, Miss Catherine Luhn. Shown above are the office force of the army and navy auxiliary of the Red Cross. Mrs. J. D. Sherwood, who is chairman of the auxiliary, has equipped the office in the Sherwood building and her friends are most earnest in helping her take charge of all the knitting done by the local chapter of the Red Cross. They are sending out every week three boxes of knitted goods, which means that 524 articles have been knitted by Spokane women each week and 500 pounds of wool are given out each week to be made up. On the average, 150 women come in each day to get wool or learn new stitches. The quarters in the Sherwood block have become so crowded that there is to be a new location secured for the branch. It will be on the ground floor of some building and centrally located. The uniforms of the women are very pretty. Mrs. Sherwood has a gray one with a new cap of deep rose color, as either all white with blue coifs or, as in the case of the secretary, Mrs. John Fletcher, a pale gray. Among the workers who are not shown in the picture are Mrs. W. D. Vincent and Mrs. Louis M. Davenport, and Miss Clara Jones, Miss Louise Wakefield and others of the younger set.
