SURGICAL DRESSINGS Roams on Court Street to Tuwrn Out More Supplies If Women Of New Britatn Will Help. Although many women have dis- played an admirable interest mn sur- gical dressings activity at the Red Cross rooms, Court street, there is de- mand for more workers in ovder to augment the amount of dressings sent from this city. Surgical dressings, is the cry from the shell swept battle areas in Europe and surgical dressings the soldiers must have. In order to provide more drossings, it has been decided to keep tnt routas n Court street open. morning, ufter- noon and evening, with the exception of Saturday aftrnoon and Wednesday ; and Saturday evening. This means that the women of New Britain must stand at attentlon and be prepared o re- spond to the call for assistance. More and more the fact is being hammered home to the public that this is a wo- man's war, as well as a man’s war, and that the men cannot win on the fleld of honor unless the women hun- , dreds of rmiles behind the line give their time and attention to preparing the wounded. Much stress is being laid on the mo- rale of armies and the morale of the Americans cannot be increased by anything so much as by the knowledge that the women of America are with them to the finish. Your neighbor’s boy may be next to ned that surgical dressing. the True in Some Cases. A book reviewer in the London Times makes the rather remarkable assertion that the word “interesting’” is not one that should ordinarily be applied to a work of fiction. It is remarkable . because, for some occult reason, he considers the word unsuit- able in its application to any fiction of whatever character. If he had sald that it has no fitness when ap- plied to much current fiction he would have aroused no surprise.—Exchange. Another Point Settled. Mother—'“What is the plural man, Willie?"

Did you know that ordinary playing cards are made of three or four sheets of paper pasted together? In making them the sheet on which is printed the back of the card is laid down on a table and the white side brushed with paste. A sheet of car- tridge paper is laid on this and cov- ered with paste. Perhaps a second sheet of cartridge paper is added. Finally the sheet which is to form the face of the card is placed on top. ‘When the workman has a great stack of these pasted sheets he puts them in a strong press and squeezes out all the water from the paste. Then they are separated and dried, which makes them rough and wrinkled, so that they have to be ironed between steel . rollers and pressed ' between smooth sheets of zinc in another press, After. this they are brushed with a mixture of white lead, water and glue. When this is dry they are rubbed with flannel dipped in soap- stone and polished with a brush to give them a smooth, bright finish.— Detroit Free Press. Bohemia Favored by Nature. Nature has favored Bohemia per- haps more than any other part of Europe. mate so favorable that more than half of- the country is cultivated, and pro- duces richly. In its mountains almost every useful metal and mineral, except salt, is to be found. It is the geo- | graphical center of the European con- tinent, equally distant from the Bal- tic and North Seas, and though in- closed by mountains, is so easily ac- cessible, because of the valleys of the | Danube and the Elbe rivers, that it served as the avenue of many armics. | Besides. Bohemia the Czechs occupy Moravia and adjacent territory in Silesia. The Slovaks, who show mere- ly dlalectic differences from the Czechs, extend from Moravia eastward over most of northern Hungary. Aviation Tests. Could you learn to aviate? Try the following tests, which were given to a number of would be government avi- ators who were examined recently in the government school of aviation: Balance thirty seconds on either .| foot with your eyes closed. Walk backward and forward thirrty paces with your eyes closed and see how far you have strayed from a straight line. Sit on a revolving chair and twirl yourself around a half dozen times; then, without opening your eyes, name the direction you are facing. Put cold water in your ears: then replace it by warm water. If the ef- fect is the same in both cases vour ears are normal as far as susceptibility to altitude is concerned.—Chicago Tribune. Punishment Postponed.

In ancient times, before the inven- tion of stirrups and luxurious saddles, horses were taught to kneel to per- mit their riders to mount. A beauti- ful Greek vase in one of the museums in Petrograd shows a war horse of many centuries ago kneeling low be- fore an amazon. The riders in those days mounted from the “off” side in contradiction to the modern usage. Plutarch tells how in the first cen- tury of this era certain effeminate Ro- man riders found even the hose block of too little assistance and had the horses trained to kneel to them.
