S. A. T. C. MEN TO RETAIN
FAIR-SIZED MOUSTACHES

Joy reigns in the University Stud
ents Army Training Corps. The gov
eminent ban on moustaches has been
lifted. Recently an order was issued
forbidding the ownership, possession
or use of moustache, striking gloom
into the hearts of many of the boys
who had budding hopes in the line of
lip ornamentation. Perhaps the walls
of despair from several hundred
moustache owners softened the hearts
of the authorities, for instructions is
sued Tuesday are that anyone owning
"fair-sized" moustache may retain
it, but no new crop is to be raised.
The order will no doubt evoke much
discussion as to exactly what consti-
tutes "fair-sized" moustache

CONTAGIOUS DISEASE MASKS.

Recently, we wrote of how the army
has gained control of the spit-borne
contagious disease by requiring vic
Tins to wear a gauze mask. We sug-
gested that people in civil life can
profit by the method if they are in
telligent enough and care enough to
use good disease prevention method
without being forced to do so at the
point of soldiers bayonet.
1t is known that the commoner
forms of contagious diseases are
spread by coughing, sneezing, and
splitting. This includes Spanish In
f1uenza, the epidemic which is today
causing anxiety to every we'll inform
ed citizen. Army surgeons realized
that if they could catch the spit and
destroy the germs in it before it
ter could be made absolutely safe.
What the army surgeon has done, the
mothers in any community can do.
A surgeon or nurse, can tell how to
make the masks which are precisely
the same as those worn by the physi-
clan and his assistants to prevent
spit-borne infections i'll the operating
rooms. Perhaps we can describe
Luem well enough 10 permit any mOIH-
er to make them for her own family
The masks consist of three or four
layers of rather fine mesh surgeons
gauze, cut into pieces seven inches
square (adult size). Upon each cor
ner, a piece of tape is sewed for the
purpose of holding the gauze over the
mouth of the wearer. The tapes from
the upper corners are carried over the
ears and TIED comfortably behind the
head Those from the lower corners
are tied behind the. neck. When the
mask becomes uncomfortably moist
ened by the breath, or by sneezing or
coughing by the wearer, it is replac-
ed by a dry mask. The wet masks
should be sterilized by boiling (15)
minutes, after which they can be
handled and dried without danger
In the army hospitals, the doctors
nurses and attendants alsOwear
masks to prevent their mourning in
lection or carrying to patients, un-
suspected germs from their own nos
es, threats and lungs.
