NURSES PLAN TO RAISE
HOSPITAL ENDOWMENT
Nurscs' Club Would Main
tain He'd In Cottage mt Ca
tawba SanntOrium.

Having aided in making the last
Cata&ba for tubcrculous nurses less
tina two months ago, the Richmond
Nurses Club is now planning to raise
$4,000 for the endowment of n bed in
that hospital. and for that purpose will
give 4 moonlight excursion next Thurs
day.
By building this cottage the nurses
of Virginia have provided Il retreat for
those faithful ones of their number
who have been broken down in the
service of the sick. The endowment of
beds in the cottage will insure the care
OF those nurses who have not the funds
to support themselves during the period
OF their sickness.
we have had three ideas in building
the cottage" said the chairman yester-
day. First. to avoid the long waiting
list Of the other cottages at Catawba.
since our seven beds can be filled bt
our own association independently OF
tho waiting list; second. to allow 4
nurse n longer period at the sanatorium,
since she often has no home to which
she can go; and third. to give the
nurses a ho,nelike hospital where they
will be always with their own pro-
fession."
Seven nurses were waiting to move
into the cottage the day 1t was opened.
and more have been occupants since
then. Three applications have been
made for aid. and to answer them the
Richmond nurses arc preparing to en-
dow n bed.
In speaking OF tho moonlight c1cur-
sion the chairman was quite optimis-
tic. W hope TO make a great deal.
We built the cottage largely by pri-
vate subscription from nurses. and It
took us some time to do ii. We want
TO raise this fund more rapidly. Often

At the Philadelphia convention Tie
Richmond delegation acquitted itself
magnifcently. Every ono attended

effective methods of holding old and

added the strains of "Dixie.' "Suwanec

applause from the unlocking crowd Of

The Philadelphia newspapers. too.
were very generous in the mention of

STOCKS CLOSE WEAK,
DUE To Rail STATUS
Selling Worst in Months-Traders
Hysterical.

fBy the international News servfce')
New York Sept stocks closed weak
and excited today for the same reason
that they opened strong and active. The
reason was. the eight-hour day for rail-
roads that Congress is introducing by law.
In the morning the Street liked the idea
but during the day some railroads today
were suspected OF selling their own
stocks, and so professional traders began
TO do likewise Wall Street has been
Ehost-dancing for six months and the
ghost has failed to materialize. The SELL
ing today was about the worst that has
been seen for months. It was purely
hysterical. Railroad men sold because
they were angry.
The decline did. however. force many
speculators to tighten their load, for they
were not sure how far the railroad men
would go along the road they had taken
IN the stock market In the morning the
eight-hour day was liked because by i'm
POSING II Congress obligated itself before
the country to give the railroads full
recompense IN rates In the afternoon
this theory was upset by the thought
that perhaps the shippers, who vatnly
imagine that they pay the rates. together
with the general public, which actually
does pay the rates. might vote the pres
emit administration and Congress out Of
Office and make It impossible to fulfill the
promise.
II did not seem to occur to the traders
that the Democrats can go out only to
make place for Republicans and that such
a new administra ton would be friendly
TO big business and therefore a square
deal would be secured as a matter Of
routine.
As to the eight-hour day injurtng busi-
ness or hurting securities, there is not a
case on record where it has been tried

pretty generally esta blished anyhow, and

they can do as much in eight hours II
permitted. as they now do in twelve and
sixteen.
That has been proved the fact in every
other industry. Even on farms It Is a
fact that the farmers who drag along
from runrise to dark would accomplish
more by working eight hours and Joy-rid-
ing the rest of the day. This has been
proved in Iowa. where the farmers own
more automobiles than any other people
IN the world and where this years crops
are good compared with the disaster in
/ every other State Of the union.
Steel prices, II was announced, are be-
ing read5usted up. This insured conttnu-
alton Of the present big earnings. Abdi-
cation Of :he Greek king brought Greece a
step nearer war and instead Of frighten-
ing owners Of munitions stocks, It made
them holder. because It means one more
customer.
As for usurpation by the labor unions
Of the legislative power Of the American
government. that is a matter which for
tunateIy can be attended to in November.
