SURGICAL DRESSINGS.

At last the surgical dressing de-
partment is ready to handle all who
may wish to take up this work. The
rooms in the Reed school building at
the corner of Main and Thirteenth
streets will be open Ave days in the
week and two evenings, as follows:
Monday, cutting; Monday evening,
women too busy with home duties to
attend day classes; Tuesday, same
workers as heretofore; Wednesday.
Westside women; Thursday, cutting;
evening. business girls and women;
Friday, same workers as heretofore.
This is the one and only branch of
the work in which the chapter has
Jagged. AS it is the most important
of all work, you will unquestionably
welcome this opportunity to speed
up and will enlist for one day or
one evening a week. Wear wash
dress or coverall apron, and white
handkerchief or towel over the hair,
and be clean.
Our chief of service in France
writes: 1--WE are working very hard
over here to make enough front par
cells for our men to take with them
into action, so we are counting on
you in America to send them the
dressings that they will need in the
hospitals" Remember, our armies
are. looking for the most terrible
fighting of the war this spring, and
you cannot make enough surgical
dressings to supply the need; you
can only do your utmost and so save
thousands of lives.

THOSE SOCKS AND SWEATERS.

Here is a hard blow to the sock
and sweater story:
General Foltz, commanding Camp
Lewis. has ordered that all knitted
garments contributed by the Red
Cross are to be issued as part Of the
regimental equipment and not as the
personal property Of the soldier. so
that whoever spreads the tale that
soldiers are using such garments as
gun wipes is likely to be required to
present evidence to the war depart
ment-not half so much fun a. mere.

some women are too much tied

near the street side of your garden.
Another idea for vacant lot garden
ers is to plant the tall growing things
farthest from the street, thus taking
away. from possible garden thieves the
protection Of a screen of corn or pole
beans.
Before starting work on a vacant lot
ask the owner whether he intends to
build on it this summer or early fall.
Usually the owner knows or plans his
building operation several months
ahead. If he Is thinking about erect
ing house, you had better hunt else
where for lot.
If there are trees shading the lot,
get the owners permission to trim
them. That, IL rightly done,I will not
hurt the trees and will increase your
crops. The main point in trimming
the trees is to cut of the lower
branches, especially those hanging far
over the garden plot.

piece of artillery.
These accomplishments are set
forth in a statement issued by the
department yesterday.
The statement indicates the fur
ther relegation of the horse from
the realm of warfare through the
substitution of modern tractors,
capable of performing the labor of
hundreds of horses. Duties of some
of these new pieces of ordnance
are told as follows:
The artillery supply truck in

and carries the equipment of the
battery and store wagons of what
was formerly horse-drawn field ar

speeds or one and one-half, three and
six miles an hour, Is intended for use
with 47-inch gun and 6-inch howitzer

tillery tractor having a maximum
speed of 8 1-2 miles an hour, are of the
track laying type and are used for
heavy loads which are not subdivided
for transportation. These tractors,
which will be supplied in limited num-
bers. are similar to those used by the
French and British"
Explanation is made OF the heavy
artillery mobile repair shops. which
carry complete equipment to make al
most any kind of gun repairs. They
not only include offices on wheels, but
the enlisted personnel Of each shop,
totalling 1O3. These are OF various
ranks, from ordnance sergeant to pri-
vate, acting in capacities of expert
machinists, electricians, inspectors,
