AID SURGEONS
"CN THE SIDE"
Spruce Division Gathers Precious
Moss for Dressings.
(By Carl NJ. Schultz

(By Carl M. Schultz
Out beyond those Cascade noun
tains where the boys of the Spruce
division" are fighting and working to
get sufficient material for allied air
planes, is a commodity much sought
by tire medical authorities. 1t is spha-
gnum moss.
1t is a moss of the highest value
medically. 1t is four and a half times
as absorbent as cotton and can be
put to the same uses. 1t is vastly
cheaper and easier to gather, but not
so abundant
1t is new proposition in the medi-
cal world as far as its present uses
are concerned. So far the authorities
have not been able to gather it in suf-
ficient quantities to satisfy the de-
mands for it, The Red Cross started
to use it for dressings and in place of
cotton filings, but lack OF supply
made it impossible to use it as ex-
tensively as was desired.
About a mile from the Pacific ocean
all along the spruce border in Wash
ington and Oregon are vast beds of
sphagnum. So far the supply in iris
territory has been practically I'M
touched. However, the members of
this unique division are doing all in
their power to devote their spare time,
scarce as that is to the gathering of
the moss for their companions on the
western front The Y. NJ C. A., which
has organized a net work of huts and
houses all over the 500 mile area of
forest land, is helping materially to-
ward the organization of picking
parties.
Not long ago the Rev. William c.
Covert, pastor of the First Presby-
terrain church of Chicago, who spent
several months in the spruce area or
ganizing the Y. NJ C. A. work in the
spruce division, spent one Sunday in
the moss beds and with the aid of
about hundred civilians and soldiers
gathered almost 1000 sacks of the
moss. This is merely an example of
what is being done and of what can be
done.
The "Y" secretarie who have charge
of the various huts and houses are or
ganizing parties among the men who
use their recreation centers, and

among the civilians of the small viii
lagos in the district, to pick the moss.
Almost every Sunday several parties
go out.
The moss is a soft gray green sub
stance which is easily pulled up by
the roots. The whole affair is disable.
When the bags are packed they are
shipped to the nearby towns for treat
ment and final shipment. Portland,
Ore, has given over a great many of
its places to the furtherance of this
growing occupation.
On the western front surgeons are
using the moss wherever they are
able to obtain 1t. If more were OBJ
tainable it is entirely possible that it
would be used to an even greater ex-
tent
So again the spruce division is
showing that it is a most indispens-
able part of the army. 1t is fighting
with the wilds of the west rather than
with the wilds of the western front,
but its work is just as important as
that of any of the divisions on the
fighting front.
1t is not an easy matter for a divi-
sion of men enlisted for the purpose
of fighting a real live enemy to be
sidetracked to the woods five thou
sand miles or more away from the ac-
ton they crave. Yet such is the lot
of these men, They don't like it, but
they do it just as thoroughly and sin
cerely as they would the job in
France. They are not strikers -
they are soldiers and real ones at
that.
AS a general thing the public is not
acquainted with the work of this
bunch of men, for they work quietly
without the glory of their comrades
but nevertheless, they are there, and
when the final reckoning comes they
will be closed to the top.

COTTON FOR AIRPLANES
(Leslie's Weekly

One of the ways in which American
industrial genius has registered i'm
portantly in the war against Germany
was in developing a cotton fabric suit
able for covering airplane wings. Its
Importance is appreciated when we
learn that the enemy is now using
wood for airplane wings. 1t means
further disadvantage for enemy air.
men. Our own fighting men require
monthly, and the demand is increas-
ing rapidly When the war began linen
was the only material used for cover
ing aircraft wings. The supply of
linen had been ample to that time, be-
cause the airplane industry was in it's
infancy as far as quantity production
was concerned. Belgium, Russia and
ireland furnished all that was need
ed. Then, as the supply from Belgium
and Russia dwindled, the need for it
increased tremendously There was
hardly enough for other requirements
besides aircraft, and it soon was ap-
parent that a substitute must be
found to cover the wings of flying ma
chimes. America furnished the sub
stitute. Cotton mill experts applied
themselves 2ealously to the task I'M

sAyEs MONEY FOR sOIpIERs

Canada has fixed, by an order IN
council, the rates OF pay and allow
anoes for discharged soldiers and sail
ors undergoing treatment in SANTA
toria and hospitals. With a few var
iations, the pay will be the same as
that which the man received in active
service. Dependents will receive the
militia or naval separation allow
ance.
Men who, after their return to civil
ian life, ultimately break down as
result of their wartime experiences,
will be eligible to further treatment.
Nearly 5000 soldiers and sailors are
under the care of the Department for
Soldiers Civil Re-establishment, the
work of which partakes in some de-
gree of that done by the United States
War and Labor Departments and the
Federal Vocational Board.
Allowances will be paid to depend
ents as follows: Wife only, $40 a
month; wife and one child, $40; wife
and two children, $26; wife and three
children, $31. For each additional
child'$5 is paid, but $45 is the maxi
mum. Men with dependents are also
expected to assign to them at least
500 from their pay.
While disabled men are being train
ed for civilian employment they will
be allowed only SO a month for spend
ing money. The rest of the money
due them will be deposited to their
credit in banks, to be retained until
training is completed
