Red Cross Notes

To keep the boys happy the Ameri-
can Red Cross has contributed $780,
900 to the committee on training &C
tivities in the camps.
Loss of sleep, the result OF air raids,
is a serious hindrance to the nurses
in France, so chateau has been
found which is far enough out OF Paris
to be fairly immune from bombing,
and here the tired nurses can go
when they are off duty and get fairly
good rest.
It is the aim of the ouvroirs, or sew
ing rooms in American Red Cross
headquarters throughout Italy to cut
patterns of the garments with as lit
tie waste as possible. In Palermo,
Italy, they have succeeded in getting
the work to such fine point that a
garment can be cut out with scarcely
one inch left Of waste material. Why
not do it in America.
