ANNAPOLIS. Nd FRIDAY. MAY "a. 1918
OPENING DAY FOR
SURGICAL DRESSINGS.
Spacious New Quarters In State
House To Be Formally
Opened June 8.

The spacious new quarters of the
Red Cross Surgical Dressings will be
opened in the State House on Monday,
June 3rd, at 10 o'clock. 1t is hoped
that all women of Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county who desire to make
surgical dressings, and especially the
leaders of the various auxiliaries and
units now organized, will be attracted
once more to this noble and essential
part of the Red Cross work
The unavoidable delay in establish
ing surgical dressings on a Red Cross
basis has not been without its value to
a large number of faithful but con-
stantly engaged workers who have
not known an idle day, virtually since
the first war work was begun in An
napolis, two months after the first gun
army
AS soon as the Potomac Division au-
thorities can find an unengaged sur
gicai dressings instructor who can be
sent to Annapolis, the series of twelve
lessons will begin. In the meantime,
certain preparations must be made.
Orders have been submitted for the
regulation packages which are to be
used from now on-large paper bags,
waterproof boxes, stencils, metal bind
ings, and the like. For several months
there will be a shortage of surgical
dressings materials and this Chapter
of the Red Cross, like all other Chap
ters, is expected to maintain it's full
organization, no mateer how little
work there may, be to do, so that
when the supply of materials again be-
comes normal--if not greater than
ever before Owing to Government
control-the work may be resumed at
its highest efficiency, and the Chapter
may be fully prepared to work at a mo-
ments notice on the large emergency
orders of the future 1t is fortunate,
under the circumstances, that very
large surplus supply of dressings is on
hand in Red Cross warehouses, and
that this supply can be depended upon
to tide over the period of shortage of
materials.
Meanwhile, it is the duty of Red
Cross women to take, lessons and
practice on material available.

NO NEED TO WORRY
Despite CrOakers, Human Race
Is Not Deteriorating.
Facts Brought Out by the War Show
That Men Today Are as Strong
Physically and Morally &c
Ever In History.

The big average height OF the men
drafted into the United States army Is
being widely commented upon In the
press. and it appears that the facts
Justify the favorable remarks being
made. observes the Montreal Gazette.
Records OF the quartermaster's Office
show that the Americans who are
dnnning Tie army uniform today are
bigger than the mel who fought in
former vars. rhe size most In demand
for the standard army shoe In the past
was 7E. while the average size of the
marching shoe today Is S1a ID, and that
of the field OF trench shoe 9E. Two
styles are issued, for II has been found
by experiment that soldiers require a
larger shoe for the trenches 1t being
necessary to wear two pairs of socks
at a time I'm cold and wet weather.
Similarly, the ~present-day Americal
soldier has TO be provided with a size
larger than his predecessor, in coats,
shirts and breeches. He Is a bigger
man all round, which is decidedly sat
i~sfactory from the national point OF
view.
Events In other b~elligerent lands
since the war began have served to
prove that men generally are as strong
physically ard morally as eve they
were In history. The long campaign
In the trenches In Europe has put the
soldiers to n greater test than the fight
ing men of the past We're submitted
to In the worst of the numerous old
wars. They have stood that test, and
the hundreds of thousands who survive
the lannon's blast and the rifles bullet
win emerge physically fine specimens
of manhood.
1t Is not necessary to look to the
United States or over to Europe to
see that the human race has not de-
Perforated. Canada Is a small nation
compared with its tremendous neigh
Dor and with other allies. 1t had q pop
ulation at the census In 1911 of 1907
0O0. about half of whom were males.
Out Of the young man part of this total
10000 men have measured up to the
severe medical test of the army and
some tens of thousands of others
have been examined and rejected for
minor defects that do not interfere
with their life as civilians and do not
threaten to shorten their days appre-
Gladly. The men who were taken TO
the field of war have lived in the open,
through the heat of summer and the
cold and snow and wet of winter, and
the thunder Of the guns has been con-
stantly In their ears.
The stress of the deadIiest warfare
has not broken their spirit and they
stand ready today to face attack from
a powerful enemy and TO deliver 1t In
return. In view of these facts, the
little bodies OF gloomy and narrow
minded persons who meet periodically
lxve thae the race is degenerate
ing physically and morally should rest
from their cracking for the time be-
ing. Actual conditions are confound-
Ing thetr slanderous assertions. The
race is stronger today than wei.
