RED CROSS MOST EFFICIENT
Best Surgeons and Best Nurses In

Washington.-The greatest advance
made by the American Red Cross In
the science of looking after an army's
welfare is In its nursing service The
United States Is the only nation
which entered the present war with
fully enrolled and organized service
of trained nurses. The most rigid rule
of the Red Cross is that none but
graduate nurses shall be permitted to
serve as nurses In American war hos
pitfalls.
For the first time In history the
United States has sent to the front
with its forces modern hospital
equipment. The sick and wounded
will receive as good care as they
could get In any hospital In the Unit
ed States. Fine buildings do not make
fine hospital-it is the surgical and

ceives, and this attention can be given

USE FOR HORSE CHESTNUTS
British School Children Gather Them
to Supplant Grain for
Munitions.

London.-School children all over
England will devote their leisure time
during the next six weeks In gather
ing horse chestnuts, which the govern
ment is able to use In unlimited guam
titles In the manufacture of munitions.
Researches last year by the Royal So
clety led to the discovery that horse
chestnuts provide satisfactory SUBJ
stitute for the gram used In certain
processes of munition making Every
ton of horse chestnuts harvested will
save half ton Of grain for human
consumption. Plans made by the
school authorities indicate that more
than 100000 tons of these chestnuts
will be turned over to the government
by school children this fall.

LETTER BY LUTHER FOUND
He Nailed Theses to Church
Door.

StockhoIm.--An important addition
to Lutheranla has been made by the
discovery In the royal archives of a
letter written by Martin Luther, the
reformer, on the day on which he
nailed his immortal theses on the
church door In Wittenberg. The let
ter is of particular interest from the
fact that 1t was directed to Archbish-
op Albrecht Of Masence, who was
Luther's immediate superior. 1t con-
tains, like the famous theses, strong
protest against trafiicking in spiritual
indulgences.
The letter appears first TO have
been found in German city by a
Swedish official, who brought II to
Sweden some time in the seventeenth
century. A very old copy exists In
Germany, but the very existence Of the
original appears to have been forgot
ten and Its absence long ago caused
the German copy to be considered
forgery.

with enthusiasm the fiat colored neck
laces made by the badly MANNED SOL

together by small square medalllons
the strings of tiny crystals that the
soldiers have strung.
Exquisite workmanship is shown In
all of these necklaces. Tiny and in
tricate beads, and the commingling Of
colors Is faultless.
These necklaces are sold, and the
money goes direct from the purchaser

woman is wearing one of these or

committee of an approved nurses or
ganization, by the superintendent of
the training school from which she
graduated, and by two members of the
local committee on Red Cross nursing
service; and finally she musts pass a
physical examination.
Such requirements mean that only
the best nurses can be enrolled In the
Red Cross service.
Takes Soldiers Oath.
When the enrolled Red Cross nurse
is called upon to go to the war she
takes an oath to support the Constitu-
ton of the United States against all
enemies foreign and domestic-the
oath Of the soldier She receives an
appointment card and badge bearing
the same number. Congress has
placed penalty upon the unauthor-
lied wearing of the Red Cross nurses
badge.
Her uniform was white, but has
been changed to gray on account of
the limited laundry facilities In Eu-
rope, with white cap and an arm
brassard bearing the Red Cross in
sigma. She is also furnished q blue
cape marked with a red cross. This
uniform is more carefully protected
against unauthorized use than that Of
q soldier In the army. In Europe, the
Red Cross societies were not so strict
In the protection of uniforms at first,
and they had cause to regret it. The
Red Cross uniform there was used by
spies, by women of bad reputation,
and by grafters collecting money. No
such abuse of the American Red Cross
nurses uniform is possible.
The woman who has organized this
great service and trained 1t to a
Morale every bit as perfect as that

Of the University Of Pennsylvania,

the national committee on Red Cross
nursing service.
