to be done at the work rooms. In th
surgical dressing room the few workers are trying desperately to fill the
large quota of cotton battin rolls, a
new dressing and one that is greatly
needed. They also have an order for
a large number of oakum pads. For

many garments to be made, more of
these black smocks for the children of

style of garment.   Some «of the work-
I ers object to sewing on these, but that
need not deter anyone from coming
to the rooms, for there are dozens of
pajamas to be made and on which you
' can work if you prefer. And for
