"We need 8,000 masks as quick as
wo can get them," said Dr. T. H. Mc
Callle this morning. Out of 300 on his
desk, by 10 o'clock only a few re
mained, which would likely be saved
for samples. Out ot 600 at the Ked
Cross rooms only eighty were left. Of
course the supply In Dr. McCallle's
office camo from the Bed Cross rooms.
Any number of business men came In
to get a supply for 'belr force. S. T.
and W. A. Dewees sent for forty-five,
and were told that they would huve to
get tho women in their employ to make
them. All department stores were ad
vised that they would have to have
their masks made in their stores.
The Bed Cross is completely con
gested. They cannot meet the situa
tion. There were only about one dozen
women In the work rooms this morn
ing. But more always corns in the
afternoons.
Dr. McCallle's office presented a
busy scene this morning. Both he and
Mr. B. F. Hudson were busy.

u.iteer worker, were all that were In
tho office this morning.
Miss Mattle James nnd Mrs. Kerr are
the only ones available for the outside
work, and automobiles are needed very
badly every day. Three were offered
to Or. McCallio this morning lor the
work todny. Many cases which have
to be Investigated live In places Inac
cessible to the car lines. Therefore the
automobiles are essential to reach
them.

ferred and she has left the city. Sev
