Boston Christian Scientists
Send Much to Soldiers

About 29,500 articles were prepar-
ed and sent to enlisted men and war
refugees by the Comforts Forward
ing Committee, conducted by the
Christian Scientists of the Boston
district and located at 32S Boylston
street, Boston, during the first three
months of the committees work.
Among the goods forwarded were
5000 knitted articles and comfort
kits, $500 articles of new clothing
for French, Italian. Belgium, and
Serbian refugee children. and about
5000 selected secondhand or re-
made articles of clothing.
One American ship has been sup
piled with enough knitted goods,
totaling $500 pieces, to equip all the
sailors on board. A large number of
the knitted garments and other
comforts have been turned over to
the different war relief associations
i'm Boston, which are in direct COM
munication with the people of thcir
respective countries, notably the
British, French. Italian and Belgian
associations. Some of the recruits
from Boston for the British and
Canadian forces were supplied with
knitted articles before they left
home.
A feature of the Comforts For
warding Committees work which
has brought splendid results is the
unit system" of preparing new gar
ments for refugee children. Ten of
the committee were first instructed
in the making of model garment,
each of the ten instructed ten others
and the latter became captains oi
teams of ten others whom they in
turn instructed. Two groups of
team captains meet at the commit
tees rooms every day to receive in
structions and material for use by
themselves and the members of their
respective teams, who work at lei
sure moments at home. Thus LILO
sewers are banded together for this
particular part of the committees
program and they are turning out
an average of over 1000 garments a
week. In this work, they have been
greatly assisted by one of the patrio-
tic manufacturing companies of Bos-
ton, which offered and has under
taken to do all the cutting required
for these garments.
