Miss Hamilton to Direct
 Training School

Miss Mamie Boyce Hamilton of Bir- mingham, who recently returned from Philadelphia and New York with diplo- mas from two of the most famous hos pital training schools in the country, has accepted the position of superintendent of the Training School for Nurses in a Mississippi hospital She will assume her duties the first of October. Miss Hamil- ton is regarded as ono of the best equip ped hospital nurses In the country, her success in the great Philadelphia and New York hospitals giving her dis tinctive place in hospital training She is pronounced by the physicians who have come in contact with her methods to not only meet the demands ordinarily required of the trained nurse, but to pos sess the executive ability needed in the discipline of a hospital. Her training, while embracing the full course in both medical and surgical work, has also in- cluded the serener training that has de- veloped her capabilities for directing the entire work of the hospital. That even before her graduation as a trained nurse, Miss Hamilton should have been offered the positions of head nurse in several hospitals tells the story of her capabil- tties She declined these offers because they were from Northern hospitals and she preferred to return South and en-

ter the hospitals here. Several months ago she received this fatering offer from the Mississippi hospital. That 1t would bring her South was an added induce ment to her, for while she has lived North for several years and every induce ment was held out to her to remain, this lovely young Southern girl declares that she could not be contented to live North.
 Miss Hamilton entered the Chlldren's Hospital in Philadelphia three years ago, from which sho graduated with the brightest honors. From there she went to New York, where she entered the Poly clinic and took a special course in sur gerry. She has also taken special courses in other lines. She has diploma from the Polyclinic.
 An honor that was conferred upon Miss Hamilton is one that is coveted by every young woman in the training school of the Children's Hospital. Miss Ludekins, the superintendent, is a graduate of the famous Bloekley Hospital, the largest hospital in Philadelphia. The winning, therefore, of the "Blockley Cap' worn by Miss Ludekins is similar to being deco rated with the Cross of the Legion of Honor in France. Only one young woman is ever entitled to wear the Blockley cap. It falls to the nurse whom Miss Ludekins knows will wear 1t worthily. The day that It Is presented is a red-letter day in the life Of the young woman upon whom 1t is bestowed.
 The cap is designed very .distinctively. None of the caps adopted in other hospi- tals can be designed like the Blockley cap unless 1t has been bestowed as a mark of honor upon a nurse.
 Miss Ludekins, who by the way was the only American nurse who went out with Lady Randolph Churchill's hospital ship during the war, gave Miss Hamilton her cap
 Don't you think the Bloclxley cap is pretty?" asked Miss Ludekins one day, as she and Miss Hamilton were having

The Old Piano.

By Julia Nicely Finch. Away in the dark of disused room, Buried in shadow and gloom, From whence at eve it's yellow keys Look out with ghostly gleam' The old piano's kept for the sake or days, Of days that are over and gone. Thro' shutters that are bolted, bolted and
 barred The moonlight slips with silvery stream That lovingly fingers and lies
 On the case that is scratched ana
 scarred And the stars steal softly, one by one To look with their bright. bright eyes At the old piano left there alone. And the nightfall brings baby breeze, As faint as a lovers first signs And 1t fiutters and filings the curtain
 aside
 At the easements dusty and wide, And it sweeps OCT the strings with a
 soft, sad tone
 That dreams and dies on the midnight s
 air, Like the ghost of song once sung by Love learning the keys above. There's little glove on the piano there,
 All faded and fallen from it's grace away Of delicate hueS of gray, But fragrance faint as dead rose- bloom
 Diffuses the darkened room There's a book; worm-eaten, ragged and worn,
 With a half-open page at a melody Whose theme is-"love-dear love, good-
 bye" Does the old piano dream of the voices
 heard Whom the room with her music was
 steeped and stirred? When the whole world waited for the
 whispered word "Love, dear .love-good-bye?

storag Battery Will Soon Be the
 Model Power of Transportation.

From Success.
 The scientific test of a new storage battery of Thomes A. Edison warrants the belief that there Is but a short step left in the direction of a practical solu- tion of the most important Of the un> solved problems of electricity. The field of usefulness of the storage battery Is wider than once claimed for the locomo- tive; since in addition to its service In connection with transportation, 1t will have innumerable uses in the arts and in domestic economy. It Is claimed for MT Edisons new invention that by the use of a novel compound of iron for the positive pole, combined with the same amount of graphite, and a negative pole of finely divided nickel and graphite, the weight of the storage battery has pesn reduced to less than one-third. the time for charging reduced to one-half. and the rapid deterioration now incident to the use of lead cells practically done away with. r@
 The new battery, 1t is claimed, will drive a car or automobile a hundred miles with but single charge, instead of thir- ty miles, as do those now in use. It Will soon make electric motors much cheaper than horses for all manner of hauling. MT Edison promises that It's cheapness will make it popular and within reach or all. That practical man of science, Pro> lessor Garrett P. Serviss, who has made an intimate study of the new storage battery. indorses the opinion of the in> ventor that 1t will take the place of the trolley. the locomotive and the horse.

Miss Woodruff Leaves
 The Training. School

Miss Edith Woodruff, the superintend- ent of the Training school of the Birming- ham Free Kindergartens, has sent in her resignation to the board of directors. She has accepted the position of superin- tendent of the training schools of the free kindergartens of the public school system in New Orleans. When Miss Woodruff went to Louisville on her va cation the board of directors were aware that she was considering this splendid offer, but they have been hoping that she would ultimately decide to remain in Birmingham where the success of the free kindergartens is so largely due to her magnificent work. Miss Woodruff has written Mrs. J. H. Phillips, president of the board of directors, that she will go to New Orleans. A meeting of the di- rectors will be held Tuesday morning, at 10 o'clock in the Coseytorium when for nal action will be taken in regard to Miss Woodruff's resignation.

At this season, salad should be seen at least once a day on the table, and if one has luncheon at noon 1t can be served twice a day as the variety is almost end less. The making of vegetable salads is very simple, French dressing being the only one required. To make a good French dressing requires but little time and trouble. To, serve six people, put half a teaspoon salt, quarter teaspoon white pepper, quarter teaspoon mustard and little paprika; mix thoroughly, stir in slowly one-fourth cup of oil which has been chilled and then add two table spoons vinegar. It should be about as thick as cream
 For fresh vegetables, like tomatoes, let tuce and cucumbers, etc., the dressing should be mixed at the table and poured over the vegetables and served at once. Cold cooked vegetables, like potatoes, beets, caulif1ower, beans are improved if the vegetables are allowed to stand with the dressing for an hour or more. When a number of vegetables are used in the same salad each vegetable should be

THE SEATTLE HOMICIDE.

On Tuesday evening last John w.
Considine, widely-known Seattle gam
bier and variety dive keeper, shot and
instantly killed ex-Chief OF Police W..
l.. Meredith of the same city. The
shooting was the outgrowth of the in
vestigation made few weeks ago by a
special committee Of the Seattle council,
following which Meredith was asked to
resign, and he unwillingly complied,
handing in his resignation last Satur-
day. Considine and Meredith were
partners at one time in the gambling
business. They were also political al
lies. Later they became enemies and a
war to the hilt has been going on be-
tween them since Meredith became
chief OF police six months ago. Consi-
dine accused the chief OF protecting the
criminal element Of the city, all but
himself He made serious charges
against Meredith, and in consequence
the investigation was called forth.
Meredith brooded over what he consid-
cred his wrongs and finally armed him :
self with shotgun, two revolvers and
a knife and sailed forth to murder Con-
sidine. The two men met and Mere
dith's homicidal intent only failed
through the inaccuracy OF his aim, and
he met his own death at the hands OF
the man he sought to slay. The whole
disgraceful affair is the outcome of a
policy of municipal government more
rotten than has existed in any city since
the days OF Sodom and Gomorrah. At
every municipal election held in Seattle
the criminal element has votes to ex-
change for protection, and the unholy
"swap' is invariably made, resulting in
the actual government of the city being
controlled by thugs, gamblers and dive
keepers. II the tragic death OF ex-Chief
Meredith will arouse the people OF Seat
tie to a realization OF the rottenness OF
their city politically he will not have
died in vain.
