Timely and Valuable Suggestions for Clubs "Timely and . valuable. suggestions for the clubs that have not as yet completed their programs for the 1919- 1920 season are contained in the July issue of the General Federation of Women’s clubs magazine. Here are a number of suggestions for a course ef-study that would be a benefit as well as interest to the average club women: “Make out the reading list for the eneral use.of the club that they may vad to the subject of the year’s study. Little can be absorbed from papers read to an audience that is not study- ing along the same, Ife, Haye a course of study made out for the use of the club’ and then give the topics for papers out in such a way as to have the program amplify the high points or main subtopics in the subject under investigation.

Mrs. Bessie Leach Priddy, civics ébairman for the general federation, has contributed the folowing sugges- tions for a club program: ‘“The club movement was once for personal culture and social enjoyment. It 1s no longer so.” “The club spirit of today is baptised with the twentieth century spirit of social service.” “Now is the golden opportunity of inspiring women to social and civic service—they have learned how to work and to cooperate,” “The means of inspiration is the club: program and makers are. respons- ine for club interest and club activi- ties,” FOR SALE ._CHEAP—Leather couch and rockers.

BISMARCK TRIBUNE SPHAGNUM MOSS HEALS WOUNDS American Professor Taught Its Use to Armies Fighting in Europe. ADOPTED BY THE RED CROSS ————— fe Far Superior in fNany Ways to Ab- sorbent Cotton as a Dressing— Used for Centuries in Scot- land and Ireland. New Haven.—In an interview with George EH. Nichols, professor of bot- any in the Sheffield Scientific school of Yale university, new facts were brought out concerning the use of moss in surgical dressings during the war. Prof. Nichols was bctanical ad- viser for the American Red Cross and did more than any other individual to introduce the use of sphagnum moss into the American medical profession for surgical purposes. In Europe this moss has been used for many years in surgery, but nev- er before in this country. In Connecti- cut alone there are twenty-five differ- ent kinds of sphagnum and on the North American continent there are at least forty. Of these forty only two’or three are actually used. Adopted by Red Cross. During the war Dr. Nichols made extensive studies of various regions where sphagnum is found and ex- plained methods of collecting and of making {t- into dressings, and in March, 1918, the American Red Cross officially adopted this moss. Since that date our Red Cross jas turned out more than a half million sphagnum dressings for the Italian army and something over 20,000 a month for the American war hospital. In Ser.tem- ber, 1915, the British war office for- mally accepted sphagnum moss dress- ings and a year later England was turning out 150,000 a month and be- fore ‘the- close. of the war almost a | million, The Canadian Red Cross averaged 300,000 of these dressings per month. 4 In Scotland and Ireland sphagnum moss has been used for many cen- turies for the same purposes as to- day, and it was used by army sur- geons in ‘the Napoleonic, the Franco- Prussian and the Russo-Japanese wars. In this country there were several reasons why it did not come into gen- eral use, the chief of which was be- cause our army surgeons, accustomed to the use of absorbent cotton and still having plenty of this on hand, hesitated about using a substitute. Sphagnum moss is far superior to cot- quality, cheapness of manufacture and its far superior absorbent qualities. Sphagnum moss is a small .low plant, commonly pale green when wet and almost white when dry, although it may be any shade from bright red and pink to russet green and dark brown or almost black. The sphag- num most adaptable for surgical use is called sphagnum papillosum, and its absorbent quality {s due to a peculiar pore structure in its leaves, Grows in Wet Places. In general sphagnum grows in wet places and attains its best develop- ment: in cool, humid regions, such as Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, Vancouver Island and western Washington, although it is known to grow as far south as New Jersey. In bogs the sphagnum grows most luxuriantly, especially in the bogs where cranberries may be found. This surgical moss is pulled up bod: fly, the moisture squeezed out of it and any coarse plants that may be present removed, and then washed. Next the moss is air dried and then separated into two or more ‘grades. In making the surgical dressings of this material first a layer of cheap non-absorbent cotton the size of the dressing is laid down. Over this is spread a layer of sphagnum and over the sphagnum fs laid a double layer of very thin gauze paper. The whole is then enclosed in a gauze outer wrapping. These dressings are then run through a clothes wringer to fiat- ten them out. After this treatment they are sent to the hospitals, where they are sterilized before be- ing used. Deeds and Words.

PREVENTS MANY ACCIDENTS At Signing of Armistice Training in Voice-Commanded Flying Was Well Undor Way—Pilots Di- rected From Ground. Washington.—Previous to the entry of the United States into the war, the yroblein of airplane radio development had received attention from the army. In August, 1910, the first wireless transmission from airplanes was made. In the years following the development o€ the airplane radio was carried through a series of accomplishments. These may be summed’ as follows: 1912—Message transmitted from air- plane to ground by wireless telegraph over a distance of 50 miles, 1915—Fan type of driving the wire- less power plant on the airplane de veloped and adopted. 1916—Radio telegraph transmission from airplane successful over 140 miles of distance; radio messages transmitted between airplanes in flight; airplane radio telephone coa structed, ig 1917—-The human voice transmitted by radiv telephone from airplane to ground, Talk Thousands of Miles. Contemporaneous with this’ was the commercial development of the radio telephone for ground and ship use by engineers of the American Telephone and Telegraph company. This culmi- nated in a successful transmission from the naval radio station at Agling- ton to stations thousands of miles away. In May, 1917, steps were taken to combine the experience of the engi- neers afd of the army in developing the airplane wireless, Six weeks later the airplane tele- phone was a fact, and in October, 1917, a -long-range test ‘was. made. Tele- phonic communication was car¥ied on between airplanes in flight up 0 25 mies _ apart and from airplane to ground up to a distance of 2 miles. The development of voice command- ed flying was definitely begun at Gerst- ner field, Lo., 41 May, 1918, On June 1 an aerial review was given by an air fleet of two squadrens of 18 planes each, followed by a close order drill by a section of six airplanes. Throughout the review and the drill command was exercised by the voice of the comaiuader flying with the fleet. In September following, voice, com: manded flying was instituted at sev- eral other fields. Avoids Many Accidents. By using the alrplane radio tele- phone in instructing aviators in aerial gunnery it was found possible te reach the same efficiency with a saving of one-third of the time. By exercising control over pilots in the air, accidents 4 ‘ly eliminated. At the signing of the armistice, de yelopment and training in voice. cont- mandes flying was well under way. Numerous demonstrations were held during Novviber and December and a fleet of 274 airplanes was maneuvered sn the air at Sin Diego by voice com- mand, In the practical- application of the airplane radio telephone to. airplanes, over 6,000 flights have been made with this apparatus in this country. In the st 2,000 flights there have-been only 74 cnuses of airplane troubie and only 25 cases of radio trouble, Shipments of the apparatus to France in quantities began August and September, 1918, and of trained air ser radio personnel in October Had the war continued the. voice-com- manded military air unit would un- doubtedly have made itself felt.

These facts were disclosed in a re port by Ethelbert Stewart of Chicago, director of the investigation and in-’ spection service of the department of labor, after an investigation of pros- pective emigration from America. The estimate, Mr. Stewart says, is conservative. That the aliens will take $4,000,000,000 is figured on the basis that the average amount each alien will carry is $3,000. An official statement from the de- partment of labor says that up to June 1 investigationls covered Chicago, the Indiana steel mill district (South Chi- engo, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, South Bend, Gary, ete.), Detroit, Pitts- burgh and surrounding steel districts, Johnstown, Pa., Youngstown, O., and Wilkesbarre, Pa,, and surrounding coal mining area.
