women NEED funds
To MAKE BANDAGES
Supply of Workers and Money Falls
Short of Demand.

Work at the Washington headquar-
ters Of the National Civic Federation
of French Surgical Dressing is pro-
crossing rapidly. but not rapidly
enough, according to Miss A. l. Heav-
in, in charge OF the work at the sta
tion at 1901 Connecticut avenue.
At the surgical dressing station a
group of women daily are busily en-
gagged in making bandages, split pill
lows for wounded limbs and surgical
dressings. to be used by the soldiers
on the French front and the United
States naval base hospitals, The Wash
ington station is open every day from
10 a. m. until l p. m. Tuesdays and
Thursdays it is open until sp. m.
The demand for surgical dressings is
50 great and the response to the de-
mand for helpers so small that Mrs.
Farrar Smith, who is at the head of
the Washington station, is continually
pleading for more helpers and money
to obtain materials.
A collection Of water colors by the
French artist, Charles Duvent, is be-
ing held at the Octagon House, Eight
eenth street and New York avenue,
to raise money to carry on the work
of the surgical dressing workers.
Although the federation is indie
pendent of the Red Cross, the work
will be taken over by that institution
in the event of war.
