EXAMINATION
POSTPONED

AT the request of Woman's Com
mittee Council National Defense,
through Mrs. F. L. Conklin, state
chairman, the state board of nurse ex-
aminers has postponed the examina-
ton for graduate nurses wishing to
become registered, scheduled for Far
go for Nov. to December 4. The
reason for this step is that it would
have been disastrous for nurses car
ing for influenza patients during the
epidemic to leave their cases to taqe
the trip and the examination, and that
it would be a hardship for the nurses
to be obliged to wait until the next
date set for the examination in the
coming spring. Application for exam
ination must be filed at least ten days
prior to date Of examination with
Miss Mildred Clark, secretary Of the
board of nurse examiners, at Devils
Lake.
The Woman's Committee Of the
Council of National Defense, through
D. M. Reynolds, assistant chief news
section, field decision, will also give to
Edward N. Hurley, chairman Of the U.
S. shipping board, the man charged
by the President with building and
maintaining "our bridge Of ships to
Pershing," the full support of the
women of it's organization and all it's
machinery toward carrying out his
program for the building up of the
American Merchant Marine.
This is an answer to the appeal of
Chairman Hurley to the women of
the country to assist in the solution
Of a tremendous problem. Great diff
ficulties must be overcome, changes in
maritime laws made, foreign bank
ing machine built up and the markets
of the world opened.
Women can intelligently support the
American merchant marine, by max
ing a study, through their clubs and
many other channels, of our maritime
past and learn why the American flag
disappeared from the ocean for two
generations. And eff the women Of
the nation interest themselves in ships
as they do in other public affairs, the
American fag," Mr.. Hurley declares,
twill never again disappear from the
worlds trades routes. The American
merchant marine will be an important
center around which to work out the
problems of peace and reconstruction"

SUGAR Limit IS.
RAISED ABOUND

Beginning today the sugar ration
Of the people Of the United States will
be raised from two pounds to three
pounds per person per month. This
is the formal announcement Of Fed
eral Food Administrator Ladd, who is
in receipt of the following order from
Food Administrator Hoover at WASH
ington:
"The rapid manufacture of the new
crop of beet sugar in the west and the
new crop of Louisiana cane sugar in
the south, together with the freer rail-
way transportation conditions, the re-
auctions that we have made in the
consumption of sugar in the manufac-
turing trades, and the patriotic con-
servation in the past four months en-
ables US to increase the household al
lowance of sugar from two pounds per
person per month with the same ration
ratio to public eating places, as from
November /.
"This makes good our promise to
increase the household allowance Of
sugar at the earliest possible moment
that our supplies will justify and will
make it possible for the householder
t omore freely use the apple, cram
berry and grapefruit products and to
use the fruits canned during the sum-
mer without sugar. The regulations
are also revised to the extent that any
,erson may purchase the whole month
ly allowance a tone time if he so de-
sires; that is, any family may pur-
chase a months supply for the en-
tire family in one purchase from the
retail trade"
In view of the foregoing, DR.. Ladd
issues the following statement:
beginning November 1, retailers in
North Dakota may sell sugar on the
basis of three pounds per person per
month and the sugar division of the
food administration is now preparing
to distribute the necessary certificates
to the retail trade. Retailers may now
sell 80 days. supply on this basis.
"The hotel rules will be altered by
an official order in few days. In the
meantime, public eating houses will be
allowed to buy and serve sugar on the
basis of three pounds for each 80
meals instead of two pounds for each
80 meals"

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women
submit to uncOllnted tests Of their con.
stancy. They endure physical discom.
fort, ennui, the peril Of cold drafts and
damp places, hours Of WEAKNESS and
moments Of acute annoyance for the
sake of what, to man, is an unim-
portant social matter. And even
though at times she feels that it would
matter little if the whole social scheme
of things should perish-and that in.

The war news Monday were very
good and the dawn of peace is coming
very soon. If it is correct that Aus
tria has accepted all the terms impos-
ed by President Wilson that it moth
ing short Of unconditional surrender
and if Austria is making this propo-
sition in good faith all she has to do
is to withdraw her armies from occu-
pied territory and turn them over to
the allies. BY doing this she can
demonstrate to the world at large that
she means just what she is pleading
for. Until Austria does that there
can be no peace. With Austria out Of
it Germany will be compelled to sur
render before long or get thoroughly
licked.

Flowers cost so little and they

One rose bought from a tray on the

these little things, these beautiful per.

Judge Robinson's health is improv-
ed we learn but that quart of flu med
icine is still locked up in the express
Office at Bismarck and the venerable
jurist is getting along very nicely
without it, which is rather a mighty
good argument for the Christian Sci
ence proposition. If the Judge will
just imagine that he has had a good,
stiff drink or two and that his flu is
better that is all there it to it. In the
meantime Mr.. LANCER is watching
operations in good shape and sort of
keeping that quart of booze locked up
in the Bismarck express Office. We
suggest that Judge Robinson burgle
the express Office, appeal his case aft
er he is arrested to the supreme
court-then he can write a decision
dismissing the case with a couple of
his compatriots concurring. Very
simple, when you know how.

The Times-Record does not want to
be considered a fault finder but there
are always some things that need
touching up and we feel that it is the
duty of the newspaper man to butt in
occasionally and try and get things
remedied. We have depot at the
high line and some two years ago the
railroad company announced that the
waiting room would be kept warm and
lighted for the accommodation Of the
people who go and come. Last night
about twenty-five people had to stand
around in the cold at the high line, be-
ing unable to get under cover. This is
not right and whoever is responsible
for it should have the matter rem
edied. Complaints have been made to
this office about this and we have been
asked to agitate the question of hav-
ing some kind of shelter at the high
line for the people to get under these
cold nights. The kick is just one.

There was some talk a few days
ago of the state council of defense
taking the travelling men off the road
"on account of Influenza" Wonder if
that was the real reason there was
that kind of talk or did the state
council want to stop the travelling men
from talking until after the election.
If it were necessary to pull the trav-

as important to stop the trains run

Germany is already appointing its

sitting at the peace table. When it
comes time to do that Germany will
be sitting on the outside waiting for

 At the conclusion of the exercises yDr IT. B. Christon of Paris delivered an interesting address, his subject be- ing. The Four Flags" or The Huns Cruelty to the Belgians."
 Dr. Christion entered the rostrum unfolding the Stars and Stripes and explaining it's origin. He told how the French venerate 1t, having had part in making 1t. and how they welcomed Americas reciprocation in entering the war.
 He spoke briefly of the part Eng land and France played in the conflict, but was visibly moved as he related the sacrifices made by little Belgium. They gave everything but their souls. The noblest thing that Birmingham could do would be to send Christmas boxes to the Belgian orphans" said Dr. Christion, and expressed his belief that she would do her part in this e. spect. 'Inasmuch as ye did 1t unto the least of these you have done 1t unto me- In conclusion Dr. ChristionA said that he hoped we would be better pre- pared to celebrate our own Christmas by having contributed to this noble cause.
