Organization. close association

helpful contact with the medical

eral has built up the personnel OF
his department and taken over from
the Red Cross completely organized

units, supplemented them by fresh

titles of medical supplies and pre-
pared on generous scale to meet
any needs of our Army in action.
In the course of this preparation
great numbers Of base hospital or
ganizations. ambulance units and
additional doctors and nurses have
been placed at the disposal of the
British and French armies. and are
in the field of actual war. ministering
to the needs of our allies. Indeed,
the honor of first participation by
Americans in this war belongs to
the medical department. In addition
to all this preparation and activity
the surgeon generals department has
been charged with the responsibility
for the study of defense against gas
attack and the preparation of such
gas masks and other appliances as
can be devised to minimize it's ef-
fects. The medical profession of the
country has rallied around this serv-
ice. The special laboratories of the
great medical institutions have de-
voted themselves to the study Of
problems of military medicine.
Officials in the medical department
say that new. effective and expe-
ditious surgical and medical pro-
cedures have been devised and the
latest defensive and curative discov-
cries of medical science have been
made available for the protection and
restoration Of our soldiers. Far
reaching activities have been con-
Quoted by the medical department

pervision of plans for great base hos

the planning of convalescent and re-
construction hospitals for invalided
soldiers and anticipatory organiza-
lief to distress and sickness as 1t
may arise. Moreover. the task of the

with the new Army has been exact
Ing. Rigid examinations have been
conducted. in the first instance by
the physicians connected with the ex-
emption boards. but later at the
camps, in order to eliminate from
the ranks men whose physical con-
dition did not justify their retention

Many Of the reflections by the med
ical department have caused grief to
high-spirited young men not con-
scious of physical weakness or de-
feet. and perhaps having no weak
ness or defect which embarrassed
their usefulness in civilian occupa-
tion; but both the strength of the
Army and Justice to the men involved
require that the test of fitness for
military service should be the sole

expert physicians have been relied
upon to give US an Army composed
Of men of the highest possible

Eighth Grade Girls
and Home Cooking.

q family OF average size having d iioo-
crate income. say officials OF the bureau
of education who make their lifework
a study of home economics and who
are urging boards of education in every
state and city to apply home economics
education to their curriculum where 1t
is not already included.
A girl completing the eight grades,
they say further, should be able to
choose food materials with discrimi-
nation, recognizing those which give
adequate food value in proportion to the
price asked, and deciding intelligently
the quantities suitable for the use OF
the family for which she buys. She
should be able to wash dishes neatly,
keep a kitchen in order. care for floors
and windows, make bed and dust
room properly.
The student having an opportunity 10

The officials of the bureau suggest
that extension courses should pro-
vide opportunities for the wage
earning girl to complete her prepara-
ton for home making, and for the
housekeeper to perfect her skill IN
discharging household duties and her
understanding of the reasons for
methods used in household tasks.
Home economics education includes
instruction in those subjects which
relate to homemakfng and its CO.
