The process of drying as means OF
preserving food for storage possesses
great advantages over canning and

calIy every advantage obtained by
those agencies, says a food specialist.
Dehydration greatly diminishes both

making IT both easier and cheaper to
store and transport The food value
IS concentrated. while at the same time
preservation is secured by the removal

Clearing House for Volunteer
Workers.

The Nolrnteer Clearing House in
New York City is cooperating in
4 mericanization work with the
woman's committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense. and various organi-
zations and institutions able to sup
ply workers with special training or
qualifications. Judith Bernays, the
secretary. explains the method OF
reciprocity as follows:
"A number OF organizations en-
rolling volunteers in this city, in
Guiding the National League for
Women's Service. the committee on
women's war work of Columbia
University, Teachers College, Hun
.er College and the School for Com
unity Workers, send to this clear
ing house the individual workers
who are by previous service of spe-
cial training particularly qualified TO
assist the organizations working
along definite lines for the Ameri-
canization OF the foreign born.
Whenever these organizations
require the help of English teachers,
teachers OF civics, speakers, ETC.,
they send the call 20 the Volunteer
Clearing House, and we aim to fill
It to the best of our ability. We
have, OF course, more calls for help
than trained helpers"

Where to Learn About Surgical
Dressings.

/
Detailed instructions in the max
ing of surgical dressings is not given
at the National Red Cross head
quarters. but through the directors
OF the thirteen territorial divisions.
Mrs. John Moorehead, who directs
the Surgical Dressings Division Of
the Chapter Production of the Red
Cross, says:
There are two types of women to
whom | should like to give mes
sage. One is the worker in the Red
Cross workroom and the other is
the woman of the general public.
To the woman who IS making surgi-
cal dressings in the workroom |
want to explain that the many
changes that are necessary from
time to time in the making OF surgi-
cal dressings are due to the i'm
provement of the surgeons tech
nque in France. The surgeons
change their demands for certain
types of dressings because they are
learning more and more about sur
gerry. Changes in small details are
inevitable.
"The surgeons in France send
samples Of what theY require. The
rational adviser of the Surgical
Dressings Division, a surgeon, tests
them and decides what is the most
economical and efficient way of max
ing them. Economy in packing
cases and cutting material is also
taken into consideration. Direc-
tions are givtn to the heads OF our
territorial divisions, and they su-
perintend the work in their depart
ments.
ITO the woman of the general
public | should lik, to make clear
that detailed information about sur
gical dressings is not furnished at
the National Red Cross headQuar-
tiers. These instructions are given
by the directors of the thirteen ter
r:tcrial divisions. Such an> enor-
nous manufacturing organization
as we have has to be divided in this
way, and our policy Is that all direc-
tions should come from territorial
heads.

That is great lesson this war has
taught us, and when we have won
it we shall find that, through death

shortage in the labor market. We
shall then turn our attention to the
reclamation of all the disabled, and
thus our country will profit by

War May Teach
Reclamation of Disabled

The reclamation OF the energies
of all the disabled OF the nation
may be taught by :he exigencies OF

Mock, NJ. r. c.. who in addressing
the National League OF American
Pen Women. said:
There are in the United States
100000 persons who have been dis
abied in industries-probably more
than the total number of soldiers
who will be disabled through this
war-yet neither government nor
industry has hitherto made thor
ough effort to reclaim their energy.
