Necessary.
Gauze masks for use by nurses and
attendants of University influenza pa
tients have been made by tbe dozen
during the past week by a group of fac
ulty wives and other interested women
under tbe direction of Mrs. brie AN.
Alien. The masks consist of a double
or quadruple thickness of gauze made
to cover the nose and mouth and sup
plied with four strings at tbe back to
secure the mask in place.
A noticeable spread of the disease
among the young women caring for
those afflicted with influenza lias per
haps been due to lack of the simple pre
caution of keeping the mouth and nose
covered, according to Mrs. Alien, lids
precaution is thought so 'necessary that
in some cities all persons going out upon
the street, are compelled to wear their
masks and are liable to !>•■ accosted by
n policeman if the masks are lacking.

the breath through the nose-and the
throat.

tribution of the masks, and if is 'the
present plan to use those for I Diversity
nurses and attendants, although the wo
men working under the direction of Mrs.
Allen have expressed their willingness
to make any number of the masks as
they are needed.
