erican society, and incidentally, for
wife with the money to pay his
debts. At an artists studio he meets

NEW ROSE NAMED FOR
THE HEROINE OF LOGS

PARIS, Aug. 1.-The "Emilienne Mo-
reau" one of the new roses that one
a prize in the annual competition at
the Bagatelle Rose Gardens, was named
after the heroine of Loos, the girl who
helped save British wounded under fire
and even shouldered a rifle to help the
soldiers drive the Germans from the
town in the great battle which resulted
in it's capture. 1t is a magnificent
white rose with very large petals and
with foliage of a very deep green.
The Edith Cavell, one of last years
productions at the Bagatelle Gardens
was shown along side it.
The judges of the rose show adopt
ed resolutions asking Legislators of
the allied countries to give to new
flowers the same protection that is
given to artistic productions, litera-
ture, inventions, trade marks A new
flower, they asserted, represents quite
as much patient effort as the produc-
ton OF a work of art or literature,

TAN ING BARK EXPORTS
STOPPED By ARGENTINA

LONDON, Aug. An view of the
fact that shipments of quebracho from
Argentine have been restricted and the
French chestnut bark supplies are not
available, tanners are glad to hear
that the Shipping Controller has au-
thorized the importation of three thous-
and tons of waffle bark from South
Africa monthly
Works are said to have been estab-
lished in Natal for the extraction of
tannin from the bark and in view of
the fact that waffle wood is being used
in the manufacture of explosives, ace
tone being extracted from it, the wat
tlewood industry promises large de-
yelopments.
Prior to the war, most of the waffle
wood bark imported into England was
re-exported to Germany.

A Safe Well.

What is a safe well? This question
is often asked
A safe well is one so constructed
that contaminated water or other i'm
purities can not get into it.
SO far as health is concerned, moth
ing is more important than having
pure water to drink.
All surface water, and by surface
water we mean any water running on
top of the ground, is more or less con-
terminated, and is unfit for drinking
purposes.
If a well is situated in a low place
so that surface water can run into it,
that well is unsafe. Rain water should
not drain toward and run into a
we'll Yet we see many wells of this
character
1t sometimes happens that wells may
be polluted by sub-soil drainage. BY
this we mean the seepage of impure
water through the soil and into the
well, contrary to the generally ac-
cepted opinion, wells are usually pol
luted from the surface, and not from
seepage. The altering power of the
soil is usually sufficient to prevent

A well so constructed will not be

One reason the death rate is lower

cause city people usually have a safe

Won ECKHARDT IN BAD
WITH MEXICAN NEWSPAPERS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. A clash be-
tween Heinrich Won Eckhardt, the Ger
man Minister to Mexico and Mexican
newspaper photographers in which it
i, declared that the German diplomat
came to blows with the newspaper
men, enlivened the recent session of
the Mexican National Commercial Con-
gress held here. Herr Won Eckhardt
is the man who directed by DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, then German Foreign
Minister, to make arrangements to
bring Mexico with Japan into war with
the United States He, with other
members of the diplomatic corps, and
President Carranza attended the open
ing session of Congress.
Newspaper photographers sent to
snap the presindent set up their Gamer
as in the aisle close to the German
minister who was seated at the end Of
the row of seats to keep him as far
distant as possible from the represen-
tatives for the Entente allies who oc-
cupied the same row. Won Eckhardt
protested, in what the photographers
described at rough and caustic man
ner, that he did not intend to be annoy
ed by photographers, but the camera
men paid little attention and photo
graphed President Carranza and the di-
plomatic corps from the most avail
able spot which was directly behind
Won Eckhardt.
When the flashlight charges explod-
ed, say the photographers, Won Eek
hardt demonstrated not with word but
with blows
FL Excelsior in commenting on the
Incident the next morning declared that
a diplomat of Won Eckhardt's exper-
fence should have been learned before
this how to conduct himself toward the
press.

RED CROSS NURSES
VERY MUCH NEEDED.

The need for Red Cross nurses be-
comes greater every day. Miss James
A. Delano in a recent Red Cross bull
letin points out the great need for
trained nurses in the following appeal:
THE Red Cross nursing service has
now enrolled nearly 1000 nurses. One
thousand of these have already been
ASSIGNED to duty, and more than 200
are in France or enroute there. 9th
ers are already to go at a moments
notice. Our estimates as to the nurs-
ing needs of the army and navy have
been very. carefully calculated, and
the Red Cross nursing service is pre-
pared to announce that it is organized
to meet demands of the present and
immediate future.
But what of the situation two or
three years from now? Then, if the
war continues, we shall have from 1O,-
600 to 10000 nurses in the military ser
vice and our nursing resources here at
home will be seriously depleted. And
we shall need nurses here at home.
If we are to judge by the experience
of past wars and of our allies in this
war. we shall need more than in or
binary times to guard against tubercu-
losis, infant mortality, undernourish-
ment, and other abnormal conditions
which are found among civilian popu>
lations when they are laboring under
the strain Of war. Normally our nurs-
es' training schools turn out 1900
graduate nurses annually. They will
have to turn out 10000 in 1919 and
another 10000 in 1920 if the estimated
needs of those two years are to be met.
Seven thousand recruits, therefore.
are needed for the training schools this
year; and an additional 1000 next year.
Where are we going to get them?
MY hope is that they will come from
among the educated young womanhood
Of our country Thousands Of young
women Just cut Of college or academy
are eager to do some national service.
Whenever one of these comes to me for
advice. direct her attention to the
Red Cross nursing service. There we
need women of the highest type, wom-
en- of character and education who are
willing to enter the training schools
and submit themselves to the regular
courses of technical training. and so,
prepare themselves for skilled work as
Red Cross nurses.
"The Red Cross chapters can help in
this work by bringing this appeal to
the attention of the young women OF
their communities All that is needed
in many cases, is to point out the OPP
portunity. The young women are eager
TO serve. Many of the leading train
ing schools are cooperating by offer
ing extra admission credits to college
women. Full particulars as to the
