AMERICAN RED CROSS

THE making of large numbers
L of surgical dressings for the
armed forces in wartime is one
of the principal duties of the
American Red Cross.
Immediately after the outbreak
of the world war in Europe in
September, 1899, Tor than 500
Red Cross chapters throughout
the nation began making large
quantities of surgical dressings for
our army and navy. In addition,
a large number of dressings were
made to be used by Red Cross
relief organizations caring for the
suffering civilian population in the
war-torn countries of Europe.
As the war progressed and
spread to more and more
nations of the world, this pro-
gram of surgical dressings
was gradually enlarged and
extended to Red Cross chap
tiers in practically every coun-
ty in the United States. To-
day more than 5000 Red
Cross chapters are busily en-
gagged in making surgical
dressings for u army and
navy according to standard
specifications and methods
furnished by them.
More than two million women
throughout the nation are now
making surgical dressings for ou1
armed forces under this program
By the end of October, 1912, they
had made O than a hundred
million dressings of all kinds anc
were embarking on a very large
program for the coming year
The making of surgical dressings
is a very important work in which
nearly every woman can partici
pate, no matter where she is 10
Gated or how little time she car
spare. Many thousands of volun'
teers are needed for this work
and every one of the $3.50 Rec
Cross chapters participating ir
this program in nearly every
county in the United States needs
help.
During the past month, ten mil
lion surgical dressings made by
volunteers in American Red Cross
workrooms e sent to Russia
for Russian soldiers wounded al

BY this we mean such phrases as

1t takes no starry-eyed expert to
announce that Boston College and
Alabama have two of the country's
greatest lines. including depth OF

But it is harder to compare such

power support the others have.
There is a large difference between
working or playing with Columbia
and playing with Georgia or Notre
Dame.
A good running game can be a
big help to any passing game. Aft
er all, Baugh has Dick Todd, and
you may recall the time he had
Cliff Battles-two of the best run
ners working with a great passer.
And Luckman has had some of the
greatest backs in football history
with the Chicago Bears-Standlee,
McAfee, Osmanski, Noting and 9TH
ers. Sinkwich has his own running
ability to call on in addition to other
fast backs. Bertelli has all the run.
ming help he needs.
The best single exhibition I've
seen this year came from Sinkwich
in his two-touchdown march against
Alabama's strong defense - some
thing like II passes completed out OF
10 tossed in that final period.
Apparently no set of adverse fig
ures ever can prove to the racing
bettor that he is up against a bit
more than he can digest.
For example, the case of Whirl-
away serves our point. Long Tail is
the biggest money winner of all
time. He has had an amazing rec
ord of running and winning. Yet,
II someone had bet IS on Whirlaway
in every race of his career, said
bettor would be behind financially.
The answer is that Whirly has lost
too many acc when he was an
odds-on choice.

was little chance to make any

were times when he was 1.to-l0O or
