PAVING WORK IS
BEING PUSHED
Greenwood Making Great Strides in
That Way-East Market and Lamar
NOw-River Front Soon.

The machinery for paving work has
arrived and is now in place on East
Market street. Grading preparatory
to actual paving has commenced and
will be rushed to a quick completion.
When East Market is completed
Lamar will be paved, the work of gut
tering and draining is now being done
on that street.
The dirt excavated on East Market
is being hauled to West River Front
where the low places are being filled
in and the street put in first class
condition preparatory to paving that
thoroughfare in the near future.
Greenwood is making rapid strides
forward in the paving work and will
0 o have as much paved streets as
any city in state. It now has as much
and more than any city Of equal size
in Mississippi.

present WAR IS
HARD. ON NURSES
Not Only Must Nurse Soldiers But
Must Provide for Mothers and
Babies at Home.
(By Associated Press)


Pittsburgh, Pa, June 11-Nurses
in the present war will have a more
difficult task than did the nurses in
the earlier conflicts, asserted Miss
Mary E. Lent, of New York, associate
secretary of the National Organiza-
ton for Public Health Nursing, in an
address delivered here today before
| the National Conference of Charities
] and Correction.
It will be necessary, she said, to pro-
vide for the needs of mothers and chill
dren at home. Miss Lent said:
"A large number of homes left
without bread winners will increase
the infant mortality, the malnutrition
among children and many other COM
plications of both children and adults,
Mothers will be forced out of the
homes to work, thereby neglecting the
health and ARE Of children. Babies
will suffer unless special provision is
made for more prenatal care Indus

of our factories.
"The breaking down of hours of la
Dor will increase the amount of ser
ious effects of fatigue from night
work for men and children. Child la
Dor will increase. The cutting down
Of food supplies will seriously affect
the lives of the workers and their fam
lilies. The health of the farmers must
be better protected as so much will de-
pend upon them. .
