 The special training required for this work includes the study of rural social problems, public health nurs- ing, municipal health problems, foods and dietoticS for social workers, sc ciology, and work in connection with the care of dependent families.
 The work of the nurse includes not only bedside nursing at farm homes removed from the cities, but work iq hygiene in connection with country schools. Special attention is gjvea also to the general welfare vol, among the farming communities and in towns under 25,OOO population.

PICK COTTON EARLY

Begin to pick cotton as soon as a good picker can pick 125 pounds day and pick the crop as fast as it opens even if it costs $2.00 more per bale.

Hylan Appointments
ToBeMade NewYear's
Storm Prevents Judge From
Talking Over Legislation
With Whitman

The daily line OF politicians. Office
seekers and whispering friends formed
neither to the right nor TO the left yes
terday in the outer office of Mayor-elect
Hylan's headquarters in the Business
Mems League. For the first time since
Judge Hylan was elected Mayor the
usual throng Of callers were not on
hand. It was not their fault, however,
that the new Mayor enjoyed quiet
day.
Judge Hylan had announced his in
tention OF going to Albany to see Gov
ernor Whitman yesterday, but the
storm and the early morning lack OF
TRANSFORMATION facilities compelled HIM
TO change his plans. The Mayor-eiect
notified Governor Whitman by wire that
ne would have TO postpone his visit TO
the Executive Mansion until Monday OF
Tuesday OF next week. He spent the
day in the seclusion of his private Office
catching up on correspondence"
The lob seekers who have had Visions
of Christmas presents in the form OF
appointments hanging on the Hylan
Christmas tree are doomed to disap-
pointment. The Mayor-elect intends to
keep all his plums in his own home
pudding, and the hopeful ones probably
will have 10 wait until New Years be-
fore they know what is coming to them.
The members-elect of the new Board
of Estimate will mold another meeting
to-day in the IIylan headquarters. Sew
eral of the associate city superinten-
dertS of schools have bepn invited TO
appear before the board.
The Board of Estimate, at its regular
meeting yesterday, showed decided
disposition to leave q considerable leg
acy to the incoming administration.
Most of the matters on a calendar OF
17S items, outside of purely routine
business, were put over" Five Brook
iyn items involving an expenditure of
s5SS, $50 were left to the incoming ad-
ministration for action. Proposals for
an aggregate of 100000
for duplicate schools, as required under
the Gary system, were voted down.

Hollanders Say
100000 Arnenians
Have Starved
Turks Declared to Have
Slaughtered IIalf Under
Their Rule
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence.
L =. ".

THE HAGUE, Netherlands, Nov. %.
-One-half, or 100000, OF the Arme-
MAN people who were under Turkish
rule at the beginning of the war have
been slaughtered or starved to death
by Turks. according to an indictment
issued here by several influential Hol-
landers, among whom are A. f. de Sa-
yornin Lehman, the Dutch Minister of
State, and DR.. Anton Van Gym, former
~ Dutcn Minister OF Finance.
In all. they assert the Turks have de-
ported .2O0, 900 Armenian men, women
and children, robbed them Of all they
possessed. massacred the men. carried
off the women and girls TO Turkish
harems and Kurdish villages, sold the
children in the slave market and aban-
doned the remainder 20 slow death by
starvation.
This remnant of the Armenian peo-
ple in Asia Minor" says the statement
of these neutrals, "is starving, beggar
people, consisting in the main Of old
men and women and children. The
number Of children who, separated
from their relatives, lie along the cara
van routes or wander about the towns
like dogs runs into tens Of thousands.
II ia scarcely credible that in the TWEEN
tieth century the determination of al
most an entire people under such ter
rible circumstances was possible. But
entirely trustworthy evidence of reu-
trail consular officials, Of German and
Swedish missionaries and teachers, is
available and puts the matter beyond
all doubt"

dence by pledging nearly 100000 for
their suffrage campaign.
"Suhragsts do not like the Red Cross
attitude toward women doctors. They
cont like its attitude toward women in
general" said Mrs. Charles Tiffany, who
led the fight for the infirmary unit on
the floor of the suffrage convention this
morning in Polls Theatre. 1t is only
recently the Red Cross would accept
the services of women for civilian re-
lief, and they won't have anything to
90 with women doctors at all"
The hospital fight took up two hours
Of the suffrage programme this morn
ing, with Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president Of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association, showing
openly her approval of the hospital
plan. and Mrs. Tiffany and Mrs. Ogden
Reid, of New York, speaking for it.
The proposition was TO add 20 the
a new committee to support the mobile
unit hospital in France, organized by
DR.. Caroline Finley and other doctors
connected with the New York Infrmary
for Women.
Miss Thomas Attacks Plan
Miss VI. Carey Thomas, president of
Bryn Mawr College, attacked the plan
on the ground that the government
army and the Red Cross preferred all
relief work should be handled by them,
and did not approve or units working
under private auspices.
at is not true that the Urited States
does not approve Of women doctors"
she said. General Gorgas has prom
ised that the moment the supply Of men
doctors gives out there will be an order
from the President to let women enlist
in the medical corps of the army, but
unit! then | think it is very reasonable
not to have women in the army camps"
Mrs. Tiffany replied:
81 hate to think that the American
government vii laccept the services
of women who are anxious TO help their
country only when the last available
man gives out"
That's right" came a voice from
the gallery. Sometimes the women
have to take a step in advance of their
government"
ave did that in the Spanish war"
said. Mrs. Richard Aldrich. "The gov
eminent would not recognize women
nurses until Mrs. Whitelaw Reid paid
hesalaries of the women and put them
where they could demonstrate their
usefulness. Then the government ac-
cepted them"
Wanted Suffrage Home
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, vet
eran sutfragist, for many years edi-
tor OF the "Woman's Journal" and
Miss Laura Clay, niece of Henry Clay,
and another pioneer sufragist, insisted
they would not vote for the adoption
of the women's hospital unless its
name were changed to include The
idea OF suffrage.
The hospital will be supported, not
from the regular treasury Of the as
sociation, but from funds raised by
separate committee.
