“BLUE GOWNS" OF ARMY MEDICAL
CORPS ARE NOW OVER IN FRANCE
- . * *
————— j - •
WASHINGTON, July 31— Teachers, nurses and heal
-ers. to, are the “Blue Gowns" of the army medical corps,
at work now in the hospitals of the United States and
“over there”.
Reconstruction aides is their offical name, but the
cheerv hue of their distinctive uniform has already won a
handier name for the special corps of TO women whose
member ship neats and teaches among the mained sol
diers ' rought hack from the battie front. Theirs is the
work coaxing back the wasted muscles and disused
limbs of wounded men, and later by patient tutoring in
stilling deftness in new arts ad vocations which the hospi
tal schools are planning for the returned soldier.
Most of the “Blue Gowns" were recruited from the
instruction stall's ol manual training schools and civilian
hospitals, where experienced workers were found avail
> uVJMMi t ■
“Beside a table a young fellow in uniform was carving
a conventional flower border on a wooden picture frame,
says an official description of their work- “The design was
his own and the work was his first piece. He was inclined
to be ciumsy because he was using his left hand: A “Blue
Gown” was ready to guide and advise him. The use of this
man’s right hand has been permanently lost, it was
thought by him at one time that he was handicapped fot
life as a money earner, because his successful profession
had been that of a mechanical fraftsman. So it isthat he
is uoou’camng, not as a possible vocation, but to tram im
left hand. Xot only are his fingers becoming nimble by
slow degrees but his mind is at the same time occupied. As
he becomes adept in left-handed carving, he is preparing
for the time when lie will again begin to draft, this time
with his left hand. This mental concentration upon a new
task is believed by doctors and psychologists to be a valir
able antidote for discouragement
“At the same open-air workshop, which is the veranda
ol a hospital, one man was inti nt upon knitting a scarf- He
had chosen worsted of a corai pink, and the knitting was
being done upon a wooden framework. One group of men.
temporarily crippled, were carving designs upon wooded
blocks, and several were learning to weave upon hand
looms".
Typewriting and basketry, and also the childhood lore
of the spelling book and the arithemitie are some of the
convalescent activities which the "Blue Gowns” direct. In
the treatment rooms inside, they were guiding electrical
appliances and administering the complicated series of
treatments that perfect the restoration work among sol
diers who have l>een imprisoned for weeks in casts and
bandages after a wound has been sustained, and the army
provides through the "Blue Gowns” the trained operators.
Since the corps was organized under iliss Marguer
ite Sanderson last January, pay and status for its memb
ers have been established. They receive $50 a month whiie
on duty in the United Stats, and $60 a month if they go
abroad. They are housed at the hospitals, or allowances of
$6250 a month additional is made them for quarters out
side- Age limits have been fixed from 25 to 40 years.
A lot of real wisdom would be lost to the world if chil
dren were only seen and never heard

WASHINGTON, July 31. — The
known sulphur deposits of Alaska mo
of volcanic origin and lie in the licit
t f active volcanoes that extends
through the Aleutian Islands and AI
aska Peninsula. Deposits on (Jnal
aska and Akun-Islands and neor Stop
ovak Pay, on the Alaska Peninsula
were examined in the summer of PM7
by A. G. Maddren, of the United St a- \
tes Survey Department of the Intou.i*
01 * ;
The examination showed that al
though there is some sulpiuir at each
plact‘\examined there is a little pi >b
ahility that any of the deposits can
be profitably mined at present or in
the immediate fuluie, for they are,
not of large area, most of them are ;
. I
probably shallow and contain only dis i
siminated sulphur, supplies and lab
or aie not obtainable near the depos
its. the ouen season is short, the work
of transporting the sulphur from the
mines to the ships would be difficult j
and the haul to the larger markets
would be long. However, these do- !
p- 'its \ ndoubtcdly occur at many otli j
-or places, in th<‘ volcanic belt oi |

ami labor are more easily and cheaply |
obtainable, when transportation is i
cheaper, and when the demand for !
sulphur on the Pacific Coast is larger!
the sulphur deposits in Alaska can I
doubtless be mined profitably. The
area within which workable deposits
of sulphur may he found in Alaska
is large and most if it is unexplored,
so the place at which sulphur can ho
first and must profitably mined is not
certainly known
Sulphur claims have been staked on
deposits in the crater of Makushin
volcano, on Unalsaka Island on Akuni!
Island; and near Stepkav Bay. No
sulphur has yet been markerted from
these deposits, but during the last
year they have attracted the atten
tion of prospective, investors with a
view to their exploitation. Unalaska
and Akum Islands are near the East
end of the Aleutian Islands, Stepvak
Bay is on the South coast of Alaska
Peninsula.
