REDCROSS
__ IS DOING
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO
WOMEN’S WORK.
Garments: In hospital garments the greatest needs ai present a for
bed jackets, bed shirts and helpless case shirts, the latter heuig a shirt
that has a taped sleeve to go on over an injured arm.
In future Chapters will be asked to get along without sample garments
as it will answer the purpose equally well, and he far cheaper, If they will
buy the paper patterns, which contain printed directions for making, and
follow the directions. Every pattern company issues the official Red Cross
Patterns. _ ...
The hospital garment patterns are
numbered as follows:
No.
1 Bed Socks, bandaged foot sock.
2 Trench Foot Slipper
2 o Operating Cap and Operating
Mask.
30 Hospital Bed Shirt.
36A Helpless Case Shirt (right arm
injured).
36B Helpless Case Shirt (left arm in
Jured),
40 Operating Gown
60 Convalescent Itobe.
66 Convalescent Kobe (27-inch mate
rial)
60 Pajamas.
66 Bed Jacket A. 1;- ,
68 Bed Jacket B if>.
80 Underdrawers. '*5' ,
81—Undershirt.
The following changes should h<
noted In the refugee garment pat
terns:
Pattern No. 15u. This shirt should
be made without the double bosom
and pocket. It is unnecessary to in
elude these details in the garment.
Pattern No. luc Womens petti
coat. It la unnecessary to have a
yoke at thi top of the petticoat. The
garment may be made with a hem at
the top. through which a draw string
is run.
No pattern has been Issued for boys’
trousers, because any standard pat
tern for short straight trousers will be
satisfactory. * Material for these trou
sers should be brown corduroy if pos
sible. Failing corduroy, any strong,
warm, dark-colored material should be
used for the trousers.
Knitting—'There is a very urgent
call for more socks. As additional
troops are sent abroad they will have
to have woolen socks, even in the
summer weather. Anyone who can
make good sock; can be of great serv
ice now. Those wiio are doubtful of
their ability to make them should try
the rule which is published in our is
sue of March 4, which will be found
much simpler than the one in A. R.
C. 400.

connection somewhere.

those cultivating wire-worm land are
anxious to get the plant up and
growing, if possible, before the worm
gets too busy.
Quite a number from here went to
Tuckerman Sunday to hear Gov.
Brough, and were loud in their
praises of the addresses. As one who
went expressed it, “I don’t know
much about what kind of a governor
he makes, but he’s a go'od speaker all
right.”
While it seems that the chronic
growler has had some weather feat
ures on which to base his complaints,
there are several things for which we
may feel thankful: no serous storms,
no destructive hail, and no real over
flow.
To advertise your business in the
