SURGICAL DRESSING NOTES

BY order of the Health Authorities
all public gatherings are prohibited
in order to prevent the spread of In
fuenza. The Surgical Dressing Shop
is therefore closed until further notice.
However, we have three quotas.
One, an Emergency quota to be ship
ped as soon as possible, another which
should be shipped by November 10th,
and another to cover every dressing
or bandage which is started before
the quota system went into effect.
Every dressing in the Emergency
quota will be new to the Volunteer
workers. The second quota is mostly
our old friends the absorbent pads.
While the third quota does not mean
starting any new work, it does mean
work, finishing and pressing, folding,
inspecting and packing. Now our
biggest and most important Emergen-
cy quota is to thoroughly stamp out
the pro-German germ Of Influenza.
As soon as this is accomplished the
order prohibiting all public meetings
will be lifted and the Surgical Dress
ing Shop will open IMMEDIATELY.
We will be working under difficulties
then because several of the Super
visors are performing other important
services for the cause and we also
have the added responsibility and
work of the county inspection and
packing. Every volunteer worker
can help by making a dressing abso-
lutely according to instructions the
first time. If worker leaves dress

WORK OR FIGHT ORDER
FOR BALL PLAYERS
SOON TO BE DECIDED

Washington, July l3.-Decision as
to the application of the work ort
fight order to baseball players prob
ably will be decided upon the appeal
OF Eddie Ainsmith. catcher OF the
Washington American league club.
A brief carrying the appeal of Ain
smith from his local board here,
which Thursday ordered him to en-
gage in a useful occupation or lose
his deferred classification, reached
Secretary Baker late yesterday.
The brief. which was prepared by
Clark Griffith, manager of the
Washington club, AYERS that Ain
smith and other players affected are
not seeking exemption and that all
that they ask is that il they have
been granted deferred classification,
they be permitted to hold it and con-
tinue their profession the same as
workers in other lines. From the
standpoint OF the public, the ap-
peal asserts. baseball is essential. 1t
is pointed out that baseball players
have joined the colors gladly when
placed in the first class.
Secretary Baker studied the ap-
peal late yesterday, it became known
today. but no intimation was given
as to when a decision might be eX-
pected.

INDUSTRY NOT lAGClNC
FOR LACK OF WOODSMEN
By FRANCIS n. SISSON,


Vice President Guaran,. Trust Com
pany Of New York.
Great Britain has approached her
problem of commercial reconstruction
after the war with an enthusiasm and
thoroughness which holds both sugges-
ton and inspiration for the United
States. If America is to retain and
enlarge on the astonishing growth Of
her foreign trade in the last three and
half years she will do we'll to follow
the British example.
British reconstructionists take due
cognizance OF the two periods of post
war actlylties-the period OF readjust-
ment to a new peace basis and the de-
velopment Of business upon that basis.
But in the plans of Great Britain's
Ministry Of Reconstruction these two
periods largely overlap. 1t is the vital
aim OF that body to make the period
OF transition as brief as possible.
The idea of British leaders is that IL
the empire is to endure there must be
such reftting of men and industries to
meet changed circumstances and such
redirection of effort as will insure the
utmost development of other resources.
Upon the surplus of these resources In
goods and services which she can dis

of other nations during that period.
OF especial interest TO Americans is
the Indian Cotton Committee, which
is studying the cotton market with Il
view to the development OF long staple
cottons in India.
In the direction OF developing new
industries the Engineering Trades
Committee is compiling list of the
articles suitable for manufacture, by
those with engineering trade expert
cnce, which were either not made in
the United Kingdom before the war,
but were imported, or were made in
small or insufficient quantities and for
which there IS likely to be consid-
cradle demand after the war All the
problems connected with promoting
these new Industries will be taken up
by this committee.
Another important field is the devel-
opment of mineral resorces. The I'm
peria Mineral Resources Bureau Com
mittee is preparing scheme for cS-
tablishing an information bureau in
London to study mineral resources and
requirements and suggest plans for de
velopment along this line. The Depart
ment of Scientific and Industrial Re
search has more than score of com
mittees devoted To the investigation Of
specific matters such as metallurgy,
glass and optical instruments, illumi-
nation, abrasives, yitreous compounds,
tin, tungsten, lubricants, zinc and cop
per. Along this line also the Board Of
