THE LIBERTY BELL
TRAIN WAS LATE
Came After Midnight But Some 800
Patriots Waited Up
10 See II.

AT exactly l2i45 a. m. the special
train bearing the old Liberty Bell and
the party In charge steamed into
Bryan and was met at the depot by
about 800 bowling patriots. old and
young. The car bearing the bell was
on the rear end of the train and was
well lighted so that a good view was
obtained OF the old historic relic by
all present. The bell was found just
as II had been described innumerable
times, with the crack down the side
and the inscriptions on II. II was
sight that should have been seen by
ALL as one could not view the ancient
history maker without a feeling Of
pride and patriotism yelling up In his
bosom for this grand Republic which
the old bell has known since the day
when II so eloquently proclaimed its
birth.
Inc tdT was uttuidttu Httiubi3
with United States flags and cards
bearing pictures and a complete his
tory OF the bell were given away by
the attendants on the train. All who
desired to do so were given permits
sion TO touch the bell and quite
number of those present took advan-
tage Of the opportunity.
The train was thrown completely
on It's schedule on account Of a late
arrival in Dallas. which city II did
not leave until about : O'Clock. This
was cause for quite a disappointment
TO a large number Of people who
were anxious for their children TO see
the bell.
The Eagle IN giving the time OF the
arrival Of the bell at $50 o'clock was
acting on information being given to
us that the bell at last report was
about an hour and a hall late. but
this was evidently the way II arrived
In Dallas.

DEMAND FOR NURSES
EXCEEDS THE SUPPLY
Trained Hospital Worker Admitted
From Canada by Govern
ment Decision.

That there are not enough trained
nurses in this country to perform the
work that awaits them is asserted in
an article in the Survey Press Service
today The statement is based on ac-
ton taken by the federal government
in admitting a Canadian nurse to prac-
tice in Ohio.
Following Is the story:
BY official decision the United States
bureau of immigration has declared
that there are not enough trained
nurses in this country to perform the
work that awaits them. Not until this
fact was established to the satisfaction
of the federal authorities. could the
state of Ohio import a trained nurse
from Canada to take charge of work
in Athens. Ohio.
The government has after reconsid-
Grafton just permitted Bertha Stoer. a
Canadian nurse, twice excluded, to en-
ter this country. The case thus con-
cluded dates back to the autumn of
1913. The Ohio state board of health
advertised for graduate nurses with
experience as visiting nurses for posi-
tions in Ohio cities"
Stopped at the Border.
Among those answering this adver-
tisement was Miss Stoer Of Toronto, a
graduate nurse, trained in England. and
with experience there and in Canada.
After some correspondence the board
of health appointed Miss Stoer to a po-
sition in Athens.
Then came the difficulty. When Miss
Stoer reached Buffalo on her way to
Athens. immigration officials boarded
the train and questioned her. Find
ing that she had a. contract with the
Ohio board of health, they asked her to
leave the train, explaining that they
did SO under the provisions of the alien
contract labor clause.
The law gave Miss Stoer the priv
ilege of appealing her case. Accord
ingly, she was heard before a board
of inquiry in Montreal September II,
1915. Again excluded. she carried her
appeal to Secretary Redfield of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor. This
appeal has just been decided in her
favor.
Decision Not a Precedent.
The decision. however, is entirely an
| individual one and does not establish
. precedent. Unless nursing can be
established as learned profession .
and thereby be added to tho exempt
class. tho next nurse who wants to
enter this country under contract will
| have to prove again that there Is a
dearth Of nursing service in the United
States.
