different this national army Is from
the regular army. This is the most
truly representative group of men
ever gotten together in tilis nation.
There were boys there that night
who one could tell at a glance were
college boys from homes OF culture
and refinement. who were thoroughly
conversant with the pleasant
courtesies and polite phrases Of So
ciety. And there were lads who were
not accustomed to parlors, who did
not know how to turn polite
phrase, but whose whole souls hon
estly beamed out of their faces, and
who you felt really meant 1t when
they said, I had an awful good time,

First Duty of American Nurses
Is to the American Soldiers

this many persons, nurses included.
are under the impression that the
needs of the nursing service are sup
piled. This impression, however. is
incorrect. There are daily calls for
nurses in email groups for immediate
service, Miss Barber says. These
calls are for perhaps six nurses in
one camp, eight for another or ten
for another. The nursing service or
ganizes small groups of nurses
known as emergency detachments,
for instant answer to such calls.
Emergency detachments may be
utilized for foreign as well as home
service.
Hundreds Of nurses are needed in
the Northern division for service on
emergency detachments. Chapters
are urged to call the attention of the
nurses in their localities 10 this fact
and ask them to enroll by reporting
TO the nearest local committee on
nursing service"
Other points brought out in this
talk were that the soldiers and
sailors insurance also applies to-
the nurses, and that time has been
for nurses holding govern
ment claims.
Miss Barber wore the official ira
yelling costume Of a Red Cross nurse.
Several nurses were present from
out OF town, among them being Mrs.

The keynote Of the address given
Friday afternoon by Miss Edith
Barber, director of nursing for the
Northern division Of the Red Cross,
ihefore a gathering Of 35 nurses in
tfhe Gardner hotel parlOr. was that
1.-THE first duty of the American nurses
is to the American soldiers in our
Icantonments. Throughout her talk
Miss Barber emphasized the great
ineed for nurses in the environments,
urging nurses to enroll for that
rather than for foreign duty.
! She also emphasized that married
nurses are needed for chapter and
home locality work, and said that
new enrolment Is to be started for
married nurses for service that will
Snot be military. IF you are doing
nursing anywhere. you are relieving
some one for war duty" she said.
lAnother thing we should push is
taking care Of minor cases at home,
Ito further relieve nurses for other
sduty more urgent
{ Nurses signed up for service with
units, base hospitals navy detach-
Inents and such organizations, can
mot be called into service until the
particular need for which that unit
was organized arises said Miss
Barber. Consequently these nurses
sometimes wait several months be-
fore they are called. Because of

HONOR
SOLDIER MEMBERS
At BIG ROLL CALL
"HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is
DUE" MADE FEATURE OF
ANNUAL MEET

A program and evenings entertain
ment was given that reflected much
credit to the institution Tuesday even
ing when the local Knights of Pythias
observed, with fitting ceremonies,
their annual roll call. Patriotic in
nature, brotherly in sentiment and
broad in scope of good influence the
meeting was heartily enjoyed by ev-
cry one of the more than two hundred
men who attended.
A most appetizing chicken pie sup
per was served to all the members
and guests by Chef Elwood Rockefel-
Ter and his able corps of assistants.
AS the banquet was at six-thirty ev-
eryone was hungry, and all had plenty
to eat too. Although Hoover has
placed restrictions on living rations,
the kitchen mechanics found plenty to
viands within the limits to appease
the appetites of all.
Immediately following the supper
Chancellor Commander George Will
liams called the house to order. Old
Glory was presented, by the proper
officials with fitting honor. A pro-
clamation was read from the Supreme
Brown, urging that all subordinate
and also have fitting honor ceremon-
les for the members at the front and
in the camps. Then an impressive
service filled with the sentiment,
Honor to whom honor is due" was
rendered in honor of the seven men,
bers of Fortuna Lodge, who have an
swered the call. They are: Lewis K.
Granger, r. +. Timm, Elgie Gould,
Olaf F. Burgess, Thomas Barnes, Os-
car Rummler, and Ed. Conner. Con-
cluding the honor ceremony the
scroll, in an attractive frame, was
placed on the wall of the lodge room.
Duncan Kerr was enthusiastically
applauded after singing the touching
and patriotic son, keep the Home
Fires Burning" He was compelled
to respond to encores twice, with
equal satisfaction to his hearers. The
trombone solos by Floyd Darling were
no less appreciated, his encore num-
bers being highly appreciated.
Elmer E. Fales and |. l.. Hubbell
addressed the men on "Pythianism
and Fraternity" and "Our Country"
respectively. Both addresses werc
full of thought and advocated worthy
ideals.
AS a conclusion to the evenings
entertainment, a one-act comedy,
"The Awkward Squad" was given by
several of the members. This part Of
the program brought side splitting
laughter TO the whole assemblage and
sent the men home in jovial spirit.
All were pleased with the meeting
and departed with the feeling that
Pythianism is filling a large and i'm
portant niche in the fabric of modern
society. The ideals of the order and
its scope of influence had again been
elevated to the place deserved by the
institution.
The roll call showed present MEM
bership of two hundred and five.

afternoon to remind her that another
birthday had come. A big supper of

and also just as good as the one at
Mrs. Shaw's. She, too, was present
ed with a beautiful quilt, one of the
blocks of which bore the American
flag in honor of her soldier boy.
Mrs. Shaw and Mrs. Fuller appre-
ciated the visits very much and ev-
erybody present was happy.
