PUBLIC NURSE BILL TO
GO TO LEGISLATURr,

A bill which will permit the main
tenance of a public health nursing
department in cities of the first and
second class is to be presented to
the Kansas legislature by Represen-
tative S. A. Bardwell of Riley
county.
In seven cities of Kansas, there
are already established public
health nursing associations sup
ported by private subscriptions and
it is for the purpose of allowing
these associations to be taken over
by the cities in which they have
been organized that this bill is now
70 go before the states solons.
These nursing associations have
been operating at private expense in
most of these cities for nearly two
years. They maintain on salary from
one to twelve graduate nurses espe-
cially trained by post graduate
course taken under the direction of
the state health board to prepare
them for the public service.
These nurses make calls at any
home in the city in which they are
stationed whether it be to care for
an adult patient or to give mothers
instruction in caring for their ba-
bies. The work as it is now carried
on is not a charity proposition but
persons calling a nurse are asked by
the associations employing them to
pay the nurse whatever they feel
able, twenty-five cents per call be-
ing the average fee.
The nurses also assist in the
public health inspection service and
assist at the quarterly baby-scoring
meetings held by the association as
we'll as giving material assistance to
the public schools in inspecting
school rooms, the pupils and visit
ing the homes of sick school chill
'dren.

HE MARRIED THE GIRL
AND HELD HIS JOB

Topeka State Journal: A Herring
ton railroad man little dreamed We'd
nesday afternoon as his train pulled
into Topeka that when it pulled out
forty-five minutes later he would be
waving goodbye to bride. But
Robert Miller, reputy for Sheriff
Hugh Larimer Hugh Fisher, a dep
uty for Robert Carver, and a pretty
Topeka girl ruled that marriage
ceremony should be performed,
The girl called at the county at
torney's office and told Of her trou-
BILE A warrant was issued for the
mans arrest and then officials fac
ed the trouble of apprehendine
him. The girl suggested that they
get him as he passed through To
peka on his run
Deputy Sheriff Bob Miller, armed
with the warrant, met the railroad
man at the train and served the war
rant. He was taken to the county
Jail.
"II lose my job if l don't go out
on that train, he said
Hugh Fisher was present and
suggested that he marry the girl
The proposition met with approval
and Fisher telephoned to the girl
and to Probate Judge Cav Then he
telephoned to the train master, ex
planned the circumstances and ask
ed if he could hold the train a few
minutes.
"If he's down here in thirty
minutes it will be all right said
the trainmaster.
The girl came down town on d
street car Judge Cav fastened to
the course house and prepared the
license. The girl and the railroad
man withdrew for a short converse
ton and then all proceeded to the
court house where a marriage cere-
mony was performed.
Meantime, Fisher telephoned for a
taxicab The bride and groom jump
ed in it and hurried to the depot. A
hasty kiss was the party at the de-
pot. The railroad man signalled the
brakeman and the brakeman sig
nailed "out O town. 1t had all hap
pened in forty-five minutes.
The Herington man told county
officials that he planned to marry
he girl but wasn't quite ready when
the law took a hand The criminal
barge was withdrawn.
