was strongly urged Leaflets explain

Owing TO the rough methods that
must be followed in washing clothes
in the war countries it is essential
that the most durable materials be
used in making the garments for
these baby outfits. While the making
of the outfits will be carried on ex.
tensively in Red Cross chapter work
rooms the work is of q character

in homes; only IL is necessary to fol-
