Manual From Red Cross
Headquarters Being Dis

% DIFFERENT KINDS
Simplification and Saving
Incorporated in New Dr.
rections Issued.

Washington. Sept 15.--Tive hum
dred thousand manuals on the making
of surgical dressings are being sent
out from national headquarters to Red
Cross chapters throughout the country.
The manual was prepared by DR.. John
A. Hartwell and a committee of sur
geons, nurses and layworkers on the
basis OF the most recent hospital ex-
perience both in this country and in
the war zone. Complete directions are
given for making the % standard and
special dressings now authorized for
shipment to base hospitals in France.
The manual takes the place of pre-
viOus publications by the American
Red Cross and the National Surgical
Dressings committee. which. is now a
national auxiliary of the Red Cross.
The high standards maintained in the
last three years, before the dema nds
for dressings ran up to many mil
lions, have not been relaxed. But DIR.
Hartwells committee has approached
the making Of dressings with view
to simpification. Directions for max

Must Maintain Standards.
The materials used in making the
dressings must conform to the stand
ards established by the woman's bu-
rean in Washington. Samples of these
materials have been distributed to the
chairmen of Red Cross chapters. Ma
terials are purchased by the chapters
through the Red Cross divisional sup
ply bureaus.
Red Cross chapters throughout the
country have established over a thou
sand workrOOms where surgical dress
ing classes are being held for volun-
teers. The emphasis is laid on the
standard dressings asked for in large
quantities. Many of the larger chap
ters are increasing their output by
using power machines for cutting ma
terials.
So important is it that dressings
should comply with Red Cross stand
ards of accuracy and cleanliness, that
dressings can only be made under
constant supervision in authorized
workrooms. All workers are obliged
TO wear white aprons and head cover
ings. 1t is essential that nurses ana
doctors in base hospitals be able to
depend on a perfect sterilization and
on uniformity of dressings. Dust
Specks. or moment lost in handling
bandages, may undo the work of the

Amsterdam. Sept. IA decree

by the monarchs of the occupying
powers, says a Vienna message today.

The consent of the occupyinr

administration of which has not yet
been handed over to the Polish au-
thorities. The right to appoint inter
national representatives and conclude
international agreements may be ex-
ercised by the Polish authorities only
after termination of the occupation.
Emperor William. according to the
telegram, has sent to the governor
general at Warsaw an autograph let
ter of the same .purport as the one
sent by Emperor Charles to the Arch
bishop of Lemberg, forecasting the
new order of affairs.
The Polish proclamation, the Vienna
adviccs state, say the first task of
the council will be the appointment of
a premier, which must be sanctioned
by the allied powers. The premier
will Immediately organize the minis
tries transferred to the Polish authori-
ties. The state council will be re-
vived with increased authority. 1t

task will be a Legislative one and it's

A new process for the manufacture
Of high-speed steel, in which no tung-
stem, molybdenum, cobalt or vanadium
is used, is described in commerce
report by Consul J. NJ. Savage, Shelf
field, England. In former processes
tungsten was an indispensable alloy,
it's use in normal times running as
high as IA to "A per cent. 1t is said
that the ingredients of the new steel
are freely obtainable wherever steel
is manufactured. 1t is also said to be
suitable only for turning, planning and
slOtting TOOLS all of which can be
made by casting. 1t is not suitable
for twist drills or milling cutters. The
tools in which it can be used, however,
take up about Is per cent of the en-
tire consumption of steel for machine
tools. Patents in other countries are
being applied for, and it is proposed
soon to place the process before steel
makers in this country.

DON'T OVERWORK YOUR RAZOR
Iutely Necessary to Keep Blade
in Proper Condition.

BARRIERS maintain that razor gets
tired and is improved after rest. Any
razor, after constant use, while not ex.
actly becoming dull, grows sluggish
and fails to work as smoothly as when
it has lain for a few weeks without
work.
Constant use and continued sharp.
ening put the molecules in razOr's
blade in sluggish condition, and it is
impossible to get the same edge as
when the steel has not been in use
for some time. When the razor. lies
idle and the electric current is passing
off at the edge the particles are being
toned and tempered, and the edge
actually becomes more smooth and
really sharper.
1t is claimed a razor wrapped in rub
Der cloth and placed in drawer away
from any damp will not be benefited
by the rest as well as razor that is
simply laid away rather carelessly
without any isolation. 1t is the same
if the razor is inclosed in a glass case,
for the insulation prevents electric
currents from passing through the
metal.

SELF-lNFLlCTED UNHAPPlNESS.
1t is not easy to believe that much
of our unhappiness in life is self-in-
fiicted, yet careful study Of condi-
tons as they exist today forces us to
such a conclusion, says Charleston
News and Courier. 1t may be our
present manner of living, or it may
be some phase of dissatisfaction in
nate in the human heart and which
has developed gradually from genera
ton to generation, or it may be even
pure cOntrarineSs of spirit, which ac-
counts for our discomfort, but what
ever the cause we cannot help know
ing that as a whole the human
race is not as happy nor as light
hearted as it might be- So many per-
sons go through life with chip on
their shoulders, so many have
crouch of their own creation either
against a fellow being or a condition
which does not please them, and rath-
er than take the trouble, Or be
fair and impartial enough to prove
their contentious groundless they pre-
fer to fan their smoldering, discon-
tent into blaze which sometimes con-
sumes their reason and makes them
incapable of acting with common
sense. Fortunately such cases are
more the exception than the rule, yet,
at the same time, there are many
other persons who, while not going to
such extremes in the blindness of
their personal antipathies, are still
unfair enough to nurse their grouches
at the expense Of others as we'll as
themselves.

HISTORY WRITTEN IN BLOOD
In the Past, as Now, Assyria Has
Been the Theater of Conquest
and Slaughter.

A new power, Assyria, had begun
to rise above the horizon, and from
now onward, with occasional intervals
of weakness and decline, this power
strides like a colossus over the whole
of the ancient world, terrifying the
nations by it's remorselesS cruelty
and crushing down all opposition anC
all national aspirations by the ruth
less force of one of the most tire
mendous implements of warfare ever
forged by the hand of man.
In the case of Assyria you have 9
highly organized and civilized people
skilled to an astounding degree in the
arts, with all the power to do grea
things for humanity, but absolutely
deficient in the will, the National Geo
graphic Magazine observes.
If you can imagine man with nc
small amount of learning with all the
externals of civilization, with fine
taste in certain aspects of art, and q
tremendous aptitude for organization
and discipline, and then imagine such
a man imbued with the ruthless spiri.
of red Indian brave and an absolute
delight in witnessing the most ghast
ly forms of human suffering, you will
have a fairly accurate conception OF
the ordinary Assyrian, king or com
moner; the outside, a splendid speci
men of highly developed humanity
the inside mere ravening tiger.
There is no need to wade through
the dreary story of Assyrian con
quest. King after king repeats, with
monotonous reiteration, the story oil
endless campaigns, all marked by the
same ruthless slaughter, the same
CHASTITY cruelty and the same lack OF
permanent results. Apparently it was
quite impossible for an Assyrian king
to be a peaceful sovereign. His state
lived by and for the army alone. and
if he did not give the army success
full employment he was quickly muir
dered to make way for someone who
would lead the troops to conquest
and plumber.

ity has declared that the cardinal doc
trine Of the wasp is: "If any wasp will
