Cushing Has
Important Work

To Miss Anne Gushing, laboratory
teChnician at the Bismarck hospital
who is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs
w. +. Cushing now of Fargo, is en-
| trusted a duty of vital Importance
that of preparing the new antiseptic
wound treatment known as the sec
ond Dakin solution. This solution is
now included in the service of the
medical corps of the United States
which comes directly from the front
and was introduced to the Bismarck
hospital by Major e. P. Quain, now
in camp in the south. The antiseptic is
a great improvement over the first
Dakin solution, being perfected so
that its effects last twenty four
hours, whereas the first solution took
that length Of time to irrigate a
wound thoroughly. The effect of the
second solution is said to be almost
miraculous, and it is absolutely safe
in its application. 1t is an import
ant, stride in the countless measures
that are making a new era in the
medical profession.
To only one physician and to Miss
Gushing of the Bismarck hospital
staff, is entrusted the duty of MAX
ing this second Dakin solution, and
this is one of the most interesting of
the many fascinating duties of the
laboratory technician.
Miss Cushing spent the holidays
in Fargo with her parents and at
the home of her sister, Mrs. Bradley
p. TillotsOn, Moorhead. She was
honor guest at several informal So
cial functions, and enjoyed reunions
with many former school friends.

Says Generosity
OF Public Great

Mrs. G. S. Bascom, lis Eighth
street north, has just returned home
from a two weeks trip to Des
Moines, Ia, to see her son, Kellogg
Bascom, and to Chicago to see Ed
win j.. Wittmayer, who is almost
like a son, having made his home in
the Bascom family. Corp. Kellogg
Bascom is located at Camp Dodge,
in the headquarters company OF the
352d infantry, N. A, and Edwin
Wittmayer was with the First regi-
ment hospital corps at the Great
Lakes naval training station. Mrs.
Bascom reached the latter place
just before Mr.. Wittmayer left there
for coast service on a gunboat. in
which duty he is now engaged.
Mrs. Bascom had Christmas din
ner at Camp Dodge with her son
and a number of his comrades, and
states that ii was indeed a gala
event, everything possible having
been done to make the day a happy
one for the boys who did not secure
leaves of absence or furloughs.
She received, both at Camp Dodge
and at the Great Lakes station,
many accounts of the extreme gen.
erosity of the public in general to
the soldiers and sailors and reports
that the boys were literally swamp
ed with gifts at both places. The
development of this generosity and
warmth of feeling for the nations
protectors is one of the finest re-
suit Of the war in the opinion of
those high in the councils of the
nation. AS an example of the hospi-
tality Of the Chicago people, Mrs.
Bascom cites the fact that Mr.. Witt
mayer alone had eight invi-
tations to Thanksgiving dinner.
Mrs. Bascom reports the boys at
both training camps being splendid
ly cared for and happy and we'll con-
tented

Several other patriotic resolutions
were passed, reported Mrs. Wilder,
who also read sections Of Mrs. Cats
answers to objections to granting
suffrage in war time. Mrs. Wilder al
so told OF various other prominent
speakers, including Secretary Lane,
Of the Interior; and Newton d. Bak-
or, secretary of war.
One Of the most entertaining fea-
lures Of Mrs. Wilder's address Satur-
day was that in which she cleverly
depicted the personalities Of the
prominent speakers at the conven-
ton, dwelling particularly upon those

Hear of Convention.
There was a large attendance of
the league members at the meeting
Saturday, and they heard with much
pleasure the very interesting reports
given by Mrs. J. A. Pierce and Mrs.
+. H, Wilder of the recent national
suffrage convention in Washington,
D. G. Mrs. Pierce attended the con-
vention as proxy for the state suf-
frage president, Mrs. Robert Clend-
ening, Wimbledon.
Mrs. Pierce reported the business
session Of the convention and the
resolutions which 1t passed, and fol-
lowing her talk stated: Suffrage is
practically won, everyone knows
that" She based her assertion in
part on the very cordial manner in
which the suffragists we're received
generally, in Washington, and the
many courtesies shoWered upon them
by congressman and their wives.
One Of the most important and
largely discussed resolutions passed
by the convention, Mrs. Pierce said.
was the one pledging the national
association to concentrate it's utmost
endeavors to secure the passage of
the federal amendment by the 65th
congress in its present session. The
resolution decided further: That If
the 65th congress fails to submit the
amendment before the congressional
election OF 1918, a number of senator
iaI and congressional districts be
selected equal to the number of votes
necessary to change the result in
each house, and that a campaign
against candidates opposing the fed
eral amendment be made in the
