The American Red Cross has organized a "re-conditioning" department at Rue St. Didier, Paris, where women are employed remaking various merchandise which has been damaged in transit. Sometimes cases of supplies become waterlogged and unfit for use. At this workshop these things are gone over and remade so that they can be used. This has become one of the most efficient branches of the Red Cross work in France. The workers are shown here remaking mattresses
