W. Frye in charge. Six weeks later a unit was started in the Tulane workrooms, with Mrs. Carter Reeves and Mrs. Robert Cheek as Assistant Supervisors to Miss Elle Morgan. Manager. In Feb- ruary, 1919, the two rooms were consolidated, with Mrs. E. W. Frye as Supervisor and Mrs. Ann Porterfield Rankin as Assistant Supervisor. the two latter serving until the close of the workrooms.
During this period over seven hundred business women, who had stood at their post of duty all day, cheerfully gave up a portion of their rest time, many going without the evening meal, to do their "bit" for the soldiers. They came through rain and snow and the heat of summer, never tiring as long as there was work to be done.
