Mrs. M. A. Doran, the Red Cross
nurse who has been conducting
classes here for the past two weeks,

have been forty-seven women in her
classes and all took the examinations
Thursday. Mrs. Doran spoke with
much enthusiasm of the faithfulness
and of the intelligent work done by
the classes, some of them being ex-

also small pillows of cheese cloth

/. tar. Oakum is made from the fibre
OF an East India plant and when
treated with tar is deodorant and a
disinfectant. These little pillows are
for the use Of wounded soldiers who
cannot receive immediate surgical
care. In the classes here Mrs. Doran
has taught the women to make every
sort of supply used by the Red Cross
surgeons and nurses. Those who
have been in the classes the last fort

ton of Mrs. Doran's ability as teach
er and all feel that the long hours
