Red Cross Headquarters Sends Out
Books In Which Manufacture Of
Surgical Dressings

FOLLOW STANDARDS
Perfect Sterilization and Uniformity
of These Articles Necessary to II
Surgeons In Base
Hospitals.

Five hundred thousand manuals on
the making Of surgical dressings are
being sent out from national head
quarters to Red Cross chapters
throughout the country. The manual
was prepared by Dr. John A. Hart
well and a committee of surgeons
nurses and layworkers on the basis
of the most recent hospital expert
ence both in this country and in the
war zone. Complete directions are
given for making the twenty-three
standard and special dressings now
authorized for shipment to base hos
pitfalls in France.
The manual takes the place of
previous publications by the American
Red Cross, and the national surgical
dressings committee, which is now
national auxiliary Of the Red Cross.
The high standards maintained in
the last three years, before the de-
mands for dressings ran up to many
millions, have not been relaxed. But
preached the making of dressings
with a view to simplification. Direc'
tions for making each gauZe COM
press, absorbent pad, four-tailed band
age and others are designed to re-
duce the Red Cross workers move
ments to a minimum, and to meet
war requirements from the stand
point OF economy in money and Ia
Dor.
The materials used in making the
dressings must conform to the stand
ards established by the woman's
bureau in Washington. Samples Of
these materials have been distributed
to the chairmen of Red Cross chap
ters. Materials are purchased by the
chapters through the Red Cross divis-
Lonal supply bureaus.
Red Cross chapters throughout the
country have established over d
thousand work rooms where surgical
dressing classes are being held for
volunteers. The emphasis is laid on
the standard dressings asked for in
large quantities. Many of the larger
chapters are increasing their output
by using power machines for cutting
materials.
Comply With Standards.
So important is it that dressings
should comply with Red Cross stand
ards Of accuracy and cles nliness,
that dressings can only be made
under constant supervision in author
