In a recent article it was recon-
mended that women who wish to sew
for the Red Cross should choose one OF
two kinds of garments and conhne
themselves to making them, rather
than try to make many different gar
mentS. Often women who are willing
to give time to sewing or knitting can
not afford to buy all the materials they
need. In this case they can arrange
to do the work for other women who
are willing to buy materials but
haven't time for the work. In some
places the Red Cross chapters furnish
the goods and give out work to volun-
teers who make up needed garments.
Patterns for garments are all issued
in two sizes, medium and large. Ac-
cording to Red Cross instructions, two
medium-sized garments should be
made to every n Of large size, for
American hospitals and no large sizes
for French hospitals. The patterns are
issued according to the requirements
of the Red Cross by all the standard
pattern companies.

Each box of garments should con-
tain, inside the waterproof wrapping,
a typewriter inventory of its con-
tents following the name and address
of the shipper.
Shipping and Packing.
According to a bulletin issued by the
woman's bureau of the American Red
Cross boxes containing garments and
hospital supplies should not exceed 5
