SURGICAL
DRESSINGS
WANTED

The surgical dressings situation
abroad has become so important that
Major Murphy cabled the following 20
Washington headquarters on Oct. 1b.
The Red Cross has direct response
bility Of supplying as with surgical
dressings, and nothing in the whole
situation here is equally important Red
Cross standard dressings in millions
must be sent over with all possible
speed.
IF this is not done. and done i'm
mediately. serious calamity and ma
tonal disgrace is inevitable. THE
american women who compose the Red
Cross chapters workers should pre-
pare with all enthusiasm and speed pos
sible the dressings which are going to
mean life or death to our own men. The
whole situation deals with the most
vital thing that women Of America can
Do for the soldiers in this war"
If this Information is given wide
publicity by YOU. it should certainly
settle in every ones mind the question
whether or not surgical dressings are
being made through out the country in
excess Of requirements. and ii should
have the good effect of stimulating Red
Cross work in all chapters throughout
the United States
During the summer great MANY
people LETT the cities. and you have prob
ably noticed that the number of work.
ers in your work-rooms diminished.
The effect Of this urgent need should
be to get all Of these people to again
take up this work in earnest. and do
so knowing that they are rendering a
real service
Representatives of the woman's bu-
reau at Washington have just returned
from abroad, and they inform us that
it Is hard for US to appreciate the great
quantities Of dressing that are neces-
sary. To best enable us to visualize
this, they have informed us that eases
are numerous where an entire box OF
dressings is used on one patient.
The surgical dressing room is omen
for work every afternoon from lao on
Instructors give their time to supervise
the work Cannot you give your time
to come and help make these much
needed dressings?
Every woman needed and evervo1e
welcome.

The two men who are hunters Of
years standing. were seeking game in
the neishborhood of Jerry's island on
the Kankakee river, when Stolley glanc-
ed up and saw an angry bull approach
at a rate Of speed which would have
made an air attack look like a funeral
procession.
MT stolIey had two things he would
like to have discarded. his gun and
heavy boots But he had time to drop
neither such little things as hedges,
fences or bushes did not retard either
him or the bull. Buse dogged stolley's
tracks and the two set out to smash the
worlds record for cross-country runn-
ing. Stouey turned the corner in the
middle Of the block.

Finally the two hunters got up nerve

and the race was resumed.
Stolley came back to Hammond a

statement of the affair is that it took
