BUTTONS WORN BY
CHILDREN LEAD To
PROBE BY j. s.

G.. M, Robbins, an aged resident
of Santa Rosa county, appeared in the
federal building yesterday morning
to find the cause of an investigation
which had been started by the United
States district attorney into reported
wearing of buttons bearing the motto
'No money, no men for war"
The fact that some children in San
ia Rosa county were wearing the but
tons was reported to the federal au-
thorities here, and the district at
torney Immediately started an investi-
cation. The investigation has nos been
concluded and no definite action has
been taken.
When questioned about the buttons,
one of which had been sent to the
authorities, Mr.. Robbins stated that
ne told his children not to wear them,
as it might be against the law, and
socialists could get no justice if taken
to court.

BISHOP BOUND OVER
TO U.S.. GRAND JURY

United States Commissioner Sulli-
van yesterday morning bound John
w. Bishop over to the grand jury on
the charge of failing to register for
war service on June 5. This action
was taken after it was shown to tho
commissioner that the young man
was more than 21 years old and
therefore eligible for registration.
The age of the defendant was tsla
chief difficulty in the trial as he and
his family claimed that he was not
q years old. When the hearing was
called Saturday, it was continued to
allow the introduction of further evil
dence in an attempt to establish his
age.
1t appeared Yesterday that no mem
Der of his family could read or write,
and that they were in actual ignor-
ance of the age of the young man.
Witnesses from Holt, Okaloosa coun-
ty, the home of the defendant, were
procured and established his age.

ALLEGED SLACkERs
UNDER ARREST IN
8 Fla. COUNTIES

At the direction of United States
District Attorney John l.. Neeley, 10S
slackers have been arrested in the
counties of jefferson. Leon and Tay-
Tor, and they will be given a prelini-
nary hearing Thursday at ten o'clock
before the United States commission
er at Tallahassee,
The most Of the men facing the
charge are negroes. Some are well
known white citizens of their respec-
tive counties, Warrants were sworn
out in the various counties when it
was discovered that the men had fail
ed to register on June 5, as required
under the law.
Because of the great number of
cases it is believed that there was a
central motive and the district attor-
ney's office is determined to bring
those who instigated the Stacking, as
wells as the slackers, to justice. There
is some evidence that anti-draft lit
erature was circulated, and the hear
ing will probably disclose those be-
hind the movement.
Because of pressing duties in Pen
sacola, it will be impossible for the
district attorney to attend the hear
ings and prosecute the cases, but As
sistant District Attorney G. Earl
Hoffman will leave tonight to appear
for the United States tomorrow.

HOW TO BE A RED CROSS NURSE
As Volunteer Nurses Aide Average Woman Nav Serve

The only way which any woman
but professional trained nurse can
go to the front is as a volunteer
nurses aide. Thousands of women
have offered themselves in this ca
pacity to the American Red Cross,
Some have done it with the eager
expectancy, now three years out-of-
date in Europe, that service in a war
hospital is both the most picturesque
and most important part of women's
war sacrifice.
All war work is important, and
the most strenuous relief work at
the front is no more important to-
ward winning the war than steadfast
grinding in the smallest town back
home. The Red Cross chain is as
strong as its weakest link. The vol
unteer nurses aide is far less the dra-
matte ministering angel of the pa
triotic maiden's dreams, than a maid
of-all work in the hospital, buoyed
for all her tasks by the knowledge
that every unskilled chore she does
leaves her superior, the Red Cross
nurse, more free to render skilled
professional service.
Six months ago Miss Jane Delano,
national chairman of the committee
on Red Cross nursing, laid out a
practical plan for making use of vol
unteer service to relieve the nursing
stats of Red Cross hospitals of all
but their professional duties. To the
volunteers would be delegated super
vision of the general homework of
the hospitals. preparation of food in
the diet kitchens, care of the supply
and linen rooms.
The primary qualifications for
such volunteer work is health and
a capacity for hard orderly work.
volunteers must be between Is
and 40 years old. Miss Delano
further designated that no volun-
teer should be accepted who had
not been registered in and pass
ed the Red Cross course in ele-
mentary hygiene and home care
of the sick, given at Red Cross
centers throughout the country.
If the candidate for service as a

TRAGEDY OF
THE NARROWS

The aged couple were killed with

with a steel As, and the bullet was
found.
The Steel Jacketed Bullet.
Did Will and Bob Blackwell commit
the deed?
They say no-they declare they are
the victims of political frame-up;
that they can prove an abb. The
prosecution, however, declares that it
will smash the alibi to pieces. and
furthermore states that it will weave
a chain of evidence around them from
which there can be no escape.
The state will bring witnesses, it
is understood, to prove that VIII
Blackwell approached certain people
IN this county with the proposition that
| they blacken their faces to resemble
negroes, and get the money from the
aged Davis couple; that Will mad the

to the neighborhood of the Davis
home, presumably for the purpose of
accommodating; that he and his broth

From lists of volunteers all of
whom have had the simple Red Cross
course, and all of whom have health
certificates, it has been possible to
select a number of applicants and
give them short opportunities for

Cross authorities make note of

have for hospital service either

Hardy, at might be we'll to consider
whether or not we need the armory

To this objection, Prof. Rogers
stated that the hilitia company would
probably be ordered into camp very

ness Institute. He then asked for the
use of the armory.
Three Points Cited.
Prof. Rogers, chairman of the COM
mittee appointed by the school board
to investigate the needs of the coun-
ty for a high school next year then
addressed the board concerning the
work of the committee in deciding
on the plan recommended. Mr.. Rog-
ers stated that in starting the in
vestigation the committee had three
points in view, the immediate needs,
the cost, and the future.
He sketched briefly some of the
plans considered which were rejected
for one or more reasons. and explain
ed why the plan proposed satisfied
all three conditions. "The commit
tee" said Prof. Rogers, "felt that the
high school could manage we'll
enough in the armcry without dis
| turbing either Judge Bellinger or
Superintendent Edwards. Even if
| this should become necessary, it is
| the comittee's understanding that
there are some vacant rooms in the
county Jail building which could be
used to house these two officers dur
ing the winter school term.
at is then seen that the first of
the conditions are satisfied as the
necessary number of recitation rooms
and study hall would be afforded.
An estimate of the necessary ex-
penditures involved in each of the
plans considered, Immediately show
ed that the armory hall plan is about
one-third as much, as the next lowest
plan. AS for the future, the armory
hall is but temporary arrangement
as any present arrangement must be
and it was the opinion of the COM
mittee that by using the armory, the
taxpayers could be shown the need
for the school, which would ultimate
! ly result in the construction of a
modern building"
