Craft Glass and Selling Efficiency
Discussed by Speakers-Cabaret
Follows the Banquet.

Craft class and selling efficiency were
themes discussed at the second annual
dinner of the Typothetae Of Washing
ton, which includes master printers and
allied tradesmen. in the Cochran Hotel
last night, with Franc. E. Sherry pre-
siding.
William John Eynon told the advan-
tages of knowing the cost. and Illus
trated a system of cost accounting for
printing shops with slips and charts.
He advised that prices for jobs should
be based on a regular selling price per
hour instead of figuring the cost from
the hours taken and then adding a
lump sum for profit.
Norman w. Wilson. vice president
and manager of sales of the Hammer
mill Paper Company, described the
three processes OF paper manufacture
and the aim to give a uniform product
with various grades made especially
for certain lines of work.
c. W. Chabot, advertising manager
of the same plant, told of advertising
methods that are really salesmanship
suggestions on which the mills expend
thousands of dollars for the direct ben
eft of the master printers. He de-
scribed progressive methods of adver-
Using and OF craftsmanship, making di-
rect appeal to a large consuming class

Relief in Many Disasters.

That this civilian relief force, which
is under the direction of Il. P. Bicknell,
is adequate to meet demands is shown
by its experience. In ten years 1t has
administered relief in more than ninety
civilian disasters. such as confiagra-
lions, floods. plague and famine. 1t
has collected and spent more than s15,-
100000. If war should come there will
be immediate need of half a million
dollars for the base hospitals and a
million for the civilian relief-but the
working force is ready and the patriot
ism and humanitarian spirit of the
American people has always proved
that the money also is provided quickly
when needed.
NO national emergency has ever
found the Red Cross better prepared
than 1t is today" said Acting Manager
Wadsworth.
The Red Cross base hospitals are Or
ganized for service with the army and
navy. The army unit corresponds to
a general hospital of 500 beds. Its per-
sonnet includes % medical officers. two
dentists "A chaplain so nurses, 25 nurse
aids, so male attendants and 10 civilian
employees. The naval unit is similar, but
provides for 250 beds, which can be en-
larged to $50.
Sanitary training detachments are or
structing men for efficient service in
the sanitary service of the army and
navy "A detachment consists of Of
ficers, a pharmacist, section CHIEFS, 4
mechanics, 4 carpenters, 2 cooks, ?
clerks and 40 privates-
Glasses in First Aid.
First aid classes have been organized
all over the country in all communities
to make the people generally ready for
efficient service as need arises. These
classes are principally a course of ten
first-aid lessons, fifteen lessons in ele-
mentary hygiene and home care of the
sick for women, fifteen lessons in home
dietetics for women, eight lessons in
women. These organizations as trained
pairing hospital supplies for present use
in army and navy hospitals and first
Aid stations and to create Il supply
against the hour they may be required.
That the present crisis in national
affairs has inspired the people through
out the country to more adequate prep
aration along the lines of the Red
Cross organization is shown by the
fact that where an embryonic program
for membership campaigns throughout
the United States had been mapped out,
ON progressive scheme, SO that but
one or two would be in operation at
once. the communities have sprung to
the occa sion and there are now seven
teen membership campaigns in opera
ton at once.
