DOINGS OF LOCAL CHAPTER
OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS
lhe la'.t mail brought the monthly
I allotment oi hospital gaiments and
supplies to be made by the be ward
Chapter duiing the month of April.
This allotment consists ol one box oi
underdrawers and undershirts for use
in the French hospitals, and one box
i of operating masks. As the standard
size packing box for the American
Ked Cross is 3x2x2 feet it will be
readily seen what a large task re
muins to be done within the next three
weeks. All this is in addition to the
ragtdar output of surgical dressings
ana the knitting which we hope will
not be decreased on account of this
additional work.
Thj Surgeon General tor the l nued
St. tes- Army abroad makes a requi
sition each month on National Hend
iiiui lets for all hospital supplies need
ed. Washington apportions this out
among the thirteen Divisions of the
American Red Cross in the United
Stales and they in turn divide it
among the Chapters under their juris
diction. The committee has accepted
•no allotment for Seward, feeling sure
that the work will be done. As it is.
.mpossible for lack of shipping space \
co send more supplies of this chnrac- j
:er abroad than are absolutely nece^
<ary it is well to bear in mind that
he hospitals in France will he short
needed articles by just so much as
Seward falls short in tbn allotment.
■ ——
The last two weeks have been the
most successful from the standpoint
of work accomplished and atteniiar.ee1
n the history of the local workroom.

MODERN FACE IS
BECOMING MORE
OF WEDGE SHAPE
LONDON, April 17. —The tendency
of the modem face, according to Pro
fessor James Keith, lecturer on An
thropology of the Royal Institute, is
to become wedge-shaped, with a long
er, narrower and more prominent nose.
Prominences above the eyes are d'sap-,
pearing, and the brow is becoming
smooth and of an even contour These
changes in the human face, declared
the scientist, are due to changes in
methods of mastication from the early
days of the human race.
