Red Cross Woyking Base. — The first step was the develop- 

 ment of a Red Cross working base, in the Lion House, under the 

 direction of the American Red Cross Service. A platform 90 

 feet long and 12 feet wdde was erected over a portion of the pub- 

 lic space, on which were installed 16 Singer sewing machines 

 and a series of tables. The labor was all volunteered, by the 

 women of northern New York City and its environs, and the 

 work was performed under the direction of Mrs. J. B. Turk, Mrs. 

 Bernard McEnroe, Mrs. H. Raymond Mitchell and Mrs. H. W. 

 Merkel. This working force was devoted solely to the making 

 of garments, chiefly woolen pajamas, jackets, bath robes and 

 slippers.
