The appeal for workers on surgical
dressings has met with splendid re-
Spon.-. the rooms IN ) week having
been well filled with workers at all the
meetings and the number of dressings
made and shipped during this one week
exceeds the number made in any one
month preViot2 The total number OF
dressings made this week is SS25. With
the terrible fighting now going on in
France and which is likely to continue
for some months to come, the need of
surgical dressings cannot be over-esti-
mated The wor on are responding no
bly, and can feel that here is a great
opportunity TO help. The following is
quoted from an article in recent
number of the Red Cross magazine:
IF all the Red Cross workers who
handle surgical dressings could realize
even TO half the extent the importance.
the vital importance. of their work
there would he three women to each
lop where there is only one now
a woman BY her work on surgical
dressings MAJ save the life of her own
son, husband, brother or sweethear,

Germany has been forced by her
tense economic situation to avoid the
waste Of any material that may be
utilized for industrial purposes. This
is reflected in an order issued by the
commandant of Berlin under which
any person who throws away scraps
of paper, newspapers. books and
cardboard is liable to fine of 100
marks or imprisonment. The order
according to German newspapers re-
ceived here. was due to the fact that
there had been a great waste of pa
per and cardboard which if collected
could have been used for the produc-
ton of raw material
