Daily Devotion Saves Life of Aged
Patient
Cordova Asked to Do Part.
Getting out of bed to say her pray
ers saved the life of an aged French
woman who was a patient at a hos
pital bombed by German aviators. She
is HR years old. As soon as the
bombing started she left the bed and,
kneeling by the bedside, began to
pray. She had been on her knees but
a lew seconds when a shell entered
the ward, passed through the pillow
she had just vacated and continued on
through the floor, making a hole about
eight Inches wide. Major John Van
Schalck of the American Red Cross
forces in Belgium visited the hospital
tlte next day and learned of the in
teresting incident, lie saw- part of the
pillow stuck in the hole made by the
shell.
The Red Cross commissioner in
France cables that the hospitals over
there need 1,250,000 bath towels,
,500,000 hand towels, 1,750,000 hand
kerchiefs and 125,000 napkins Of
these the Northwestern division
should furnish 50,000 bath towels,
100,000 hand towels. 70,000 handker
chiefs and 5,000 napkins.
The Cordova chapter is asked to
do her part. All chapters in the
Cnited States are being called upon
to provide their share of these arti
cles during t he week commencing
September 2". It. is exceedingly dif
ficult to secure such articles or ma
terial for them in large quantities in
the open market at any reasonable
price today Consequently national
headquarters asks that the chapters
share in providing tile articles on a
plan which was tried most success
fully In a limited number of chapters
some months ago - that is. each fam
ily contribute an article or a set of
articles of household linen from their
reserve stocks Thus, without ma
terial reduction either of the. house
hold stock or of the sources of sup
ply, the need may lie met

French Adopt Our A. R. C. Surgical
Dressing
Pleasant news for the army of Amer
ican women who so painstakingly
have been manufacturing millions of
surgical dressings, comes from Paris.
A cablegram has been received from
Harvey I). Gibson, lied Cross com
missioner to France, advising that the
French war department has officially
adopted for use in all French hospitals
American Red Cross standard surgi
cal dressings.
Mr, Gibson states further that the
decision to use American Red Cross
standard dressings will greatly Im
prove the distribution service, as un
der the present arrangement the en
tire output of American Red Cross
chapters can be utilized for both the
French and American hospitals.
Arrive in Splendid Condition.
One of the factors entering into the
decision was the splendid condition
in which Red Cross surgical dress
ings arrive in France. A communica
tion from G. E. Newlin, aide to the
commissioner to France, to national
headquarters states:
"The dressings that are produced
in America have always been, on their
arrival in France, in splendid condi
tion This Statement with regard to
the condition of dressings arriving in
Paris is given to you after the fullest
investigation, and with the idea that
the widest possible publicity is to be
given to it. The only dressings that
have ever been received in France
from America that have not been suit
able for use in the exact condition in
which they arrived, have been a very
few that were soiled by reason of the
j breaking open of the cases "
The decision to make the American
Red Cross dressings standard for
French hospitals is further evidence
| of the splendid co-operation between
the allies and the American Red
Cross.
