At the present time we need
knitted goods for about two
thirds of the division. that is,
considerably over 10000 men.
While women's organizations ev-
erywhere are working hard to the
end of equipping the whole divi-

enormous task it is when our stay
here is So uncertain. We hope to
receive two or three thousand
knitted articles a day, though no
such number has as yet been
reached.

ADDRESSES CLUB
Former Harrisburger Speaks
to Midland Women on Civic
Work and What 1t Means

"A most active Civic Club has | cen
formed at Midland. for the purpose
of engaging in community welfare
work on broad scale, and already
much has been done without publicity
or ostentation. AS an industrial town
Midland has been beset by many of
the evils that menace any rapidly de-
veloping industrial community, but
with an organization like the new
Civi: Club busy with the welfare OF
the town a most wholesome infiu-
ence will spread.

last week in the Public Library

lected and his efficiency has been
the marvel of modern surgery; men
with no arms and legs being enabled
to move about and do a days work,
instead of being helpless the rest of
their lives.
This topic was also set aside for
Lieutenant Harry A. Mock, United
States Army Medical Reserve Corps.
and Captain William II. Furness, or
the same corps, was ready with a
movie battery to depict the treat
ment of infected wounds.
Tell of Wounds
In opening the session DIR. Pat
terson said it was by far the most
important one ever held, that all
those who are at the front and
working in the nations factories. He
introduced DIR. S. p. Mengel, of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, who
spoke on some medical and surgical
problems and their solution. His
discourse was concerned mostly in
the discussion of septic wounds and
their remedies. He said that
tuberculosis was less common in
mine workers than among farmers.
This same topic was taken up by
Dr. n. NJ. Jones, OF tne East OHlO
Gas Company. Cleveland, who told
of the methods used in treating
burns. He championed the saline
bath as the best remedy yet dis
covered.
The war crisis again came up
when DIR. ]. w. Schereschewsky, U.
S. Public Health Service, told how
Germany had made her basis OF
efficiency by her chemical industries
particularly in the development of
coal tar products. Unlimited
facilities for making ammunition is
what they sought for, and got" said
he. This must be the aim of AM
erica, If we want to win this war;"
Before adjournment the health
and hazards of the cigar industry
were discussed by DIR. T. Grier Miller
occupational disease clinic, u. of P,
and DIR. Henry F. Smyth, laboratory
of hygiene, of the same institution.
The morning session clcsei with The
conference allying itself with the
national association and the taking

DR.. Twombley Addresses Civic
Club; Warm Clothing For
Tubercular Patients Asked

At the Civil Club meeting held-yes-
terday afternoon Mrs. William Hen
de: son. president, who presided,
mHde an earnest appeal for contri-
buttons of warm clothing or money
for the purchase of same for the Mt.
Alto work. These articles should
be sent to the Civic Club, Front and
North streets, and the money sent to
Mrs. William E, Bailey, Front and
South streets. The boxes will pe
packed about Devember first.
Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, who at
tended the recent conference of the
State Federation Women's Clubs,
held at Erie gave a report She was
especially interested in the enthu-
siasm displayed by the delegates in
prohibition, woman suffrage and the
immigration problem.
The feature of the meeting was the
address on Evil in Motion Pictures"
by the Rev. DIR. Clifford G.. Twomb-
ley, rector of st. James Episcopal
Church, Lancaster, Penna. DR..
Twombley is chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the Law and Or
der League of Lancaster.
In the address DrSTwombley point
ed out just why the movies have a
dangerous influence. They are view
ed by children and leave impressions
which only time and circumstances
can remove. Statistics based on in
vestigations by some of the fore
most civic and social welfare clubs
OF the day were given in order to
prove that the present standard CT
moving pictures leaves much to oe
desired and methods of improving
them were suggested.
A statement by Richard Bliss,
Newport, r. j., gives an idea of what
one of the most prominent men of
the day thinks of the movies. A
large per cent. of films are based on
immortality. Mr.. Bliss stated that
81 wish l might see three consecu-
tive films that did not have seduc-
ton or adultery for one of their
themes, but so far l have not been
so fortunate" If he is not able TO
find three consecutive pictures that
are worth while. is the general pub
lie and our children able to do so
One example which was given was
that of Purity" Thirty-tw elimi-
nations had to be made before the
picture was fit for the public to view.
Purity" was indeed a fitting name
for such a type of picture.
In closing DR.. Twombley stated:
"In order to kill this evil in motion
| pictures it is necessary that the
Christian Church be awakened to the
danger, and manufacturers of films
| be forced to produce clean plays
| which may safely be viewed by the
general public"

of the day in the presence of Major

The meeting was called to order

of the Division of Industrial Hygiene

the absence of Commissioner John
Price Jackson, who is major in the
United States service, a brief, nj
mated address of welcome was made
by l.. r. Palmer, acting chief of the
Department of Labor and Industry.
He emphasized the desire of the de-
