Direct Appeal to
Graduate Nurses
For Enrolment

The American Fed Cross is the only or
SANITATION authorized bv the United
States Government to render aid to its
land and naval forces in event of war.
The care of the wounded will be en-
trusted to the enrolled Red Cross Nurse.
working under the regular Army and
Navy Corps.
Maine has nearly thousand graduate
nurses. a large per cent. of whom must
be eligible for enrolment for service.
From this large group only AZ nurse J;
are enrolled for service in the Red Cross.
Are the nurses of Maine willing to
withhold their services when their Coun-
try needs to know it's resources?
The number of nurses needed for war
service, far exceeds in numbers the other
hospital personnel, therefore large
number must be available. if the sick ana
wounded soldiers. who are protecting our
homes and liberty. are to receive the
care which is due them.
In order to become an enrolled Red
Cross Nurse, it is necessary to have been
graduated from hospital having daily
average Of not less than 30 patients, which
gives not less than two years training
to its nurses, including the care of men.
The nurse must be a member of some
nursing organization which is affiliated
with the American Nurses Association
and must be a registered nurse. She will
receive the same recompense when on
duty for the Red Cross, as the regular
army and navy nurse.
There are being formed in connection
with the Maine General and Eastern
Maine General hospitals, navy detach-
ments of graduates of these hospitals
These detachments will, if needed, be
transferred to some naval hospital. where
they will work under the navy corps.
Applications for these attachments
should be made directly to these hospi-
tails.
Emergency attachments are being
formed, in order that nurses may be
proourable to take the place of those
when their term of service expires.
Besides these attachments, nurse
may enroll for general service to be as
signed to duty wherever needed.
There Is a State committee on nursing
service in Maine, through which the
graduate nurses may secure applications
for enrolment.
The chairman. at 6s High ST.. Portland,
and the secretary at the Eastern Maine
General Hospital, Bangor.
Make application for enrolment at once.
Enrolment does not mean that positions
should be given up at once. the usual
work may be carried on until call is
received for active work.
Nurses Of Maine. wake up.
Be prepared to take your share in the
work Of alternating suffering when your
services are needed by your country.

Tangled Threads.

A ring on the finger is badge of
slavery that women are generally
proud to wear, especially when it is
an engagement ring, with a sparkle of
diamonds like the price mark of q
princess, saying, "See how much l
cost!' or ''He must love me lot to
have spent so much money on this dfa-

When Freneau slipped the gleam-
ing circlet on Gloria's finger she had
laughed with joy over it, never dream

mentioned her name as security, and
still less dreaming that he had not
yet freed himself from the ringless en-
gagement to Lois.
When Freneau died the gems that
had looked to Gloria like jeweled
laughter became teardrops of indy
ing grief. She had taken a dismal
pleasure in kissing the ring and talk
ing to it as to her lost lover. When
her tender heart yielded to the jeal-
Ousy Of her father and to his author
ity and she surrendered the ring to
him her finger seemed to be suddenly
naked and ashamed of itself. Her ia

PROOF THAT INDIANS ARE NIEM
BERS OF THE LOST TRIBES OF
ISRAEL,

Berkely, Calf, March 3o-The the
DRY that the American Indians are
members OF the lost tribes of Israel
was given added proof here today
when DIR. E. w. Clifford Of California
Un1versity's anthopology department
announced his discovery Of similar rites
and practises between the Kavaiisu
Indians OF the Kern River section and
the ancient Hebrews.
the Hebrews, according to the Bible,
held that if man died without off
spring his brother should marry the
"1ooW and the first born Of that union
should be known as the dead man g
child. The Kawiisu Indians observe
the same custom.
