NURSES IN NEED.

The Red Cross wants Louisiana
nurses-372 of them!
That Is a large number, but the
state IS expected to be able to
make the quota.
A nurses recruiting campaign
is going on throughout the coun
try now. Its purpose is to enroll
$4,000 Red Cross nurses by Janua
ry l, 1919,
The Gulf Division of the Red
Gross, consisting of Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama is asked
to furnish 1000 of the number.
And Louisiana's share in the res
possibility is heavier than that OF
the two other states.
So, every graduate registered
nurse between twenty three and
40 with at least two years hospital
training, good health and no ties
to force her to stay at home
should enroll. The public will
help by dispensing with the serv
ices of nurses except in cases Ol
extreme illness and then employ
ing Red Cross nurses awaiting
call.
Red Cross nurses earn from $6(
to $50 month, have all livin(
and travelling expenses paid, anC
are given the benefit Of war rist
insurance.
Louisiana nurses wishing 10 en-
roll should apply to one of the fol
lowing women:

THE COAL SITUATION.

U. S Fuel Administration, New
Orleans, 19lS-The alarming out
look IN the coal situation ls
brought forclbly home in the an
Douncemtnt from Washington
that an increase of $4,000, 0O0
tons of bituminous coal is neces
sary to meet the war industries
demands, according to the U. 8
Fuel Administration OF Louisiana.
at is absolutely imperative ev.
cry consumer, no matter how small
or large, place their order now for
the winters supply" said ADM.
nistratOr John q. O'Kelley.
Industries Of New Orleans, fac
tories and all others must order
now to be sure Of their winters
fuel supply. The mines can be
worked to the limit this summer,
only if the orders are placed now.
10 delay is folly and Stacking
Later on, the government is going
to need every ounce of coal for its
fleets and for the war industries.
Surely, every one is patriotic
enough to head the Order Your
Coal Now cry. Every order de-
layed means the railroads later on
Will be burdened that much more;
it means that a ton Of coal could
have been used to speed troop
ship faster through the U.boat
zone, or could have been used to
hurry along the protection of guns
and ammunition. The railroads
simply cannot handle the rush of
war supplies aud the great coal
orders during the winter, but ev.
eryone may be able to get their
normal coal supply during the
summer if they will only order
now"
IL is not only good busines, but
real patriotism for stores and Ia.
dustrles to heed the "Order Your
Coal Now" cry, said Mr. O'Kel
ley.
1t is a still greater service If
wood is substituted for coal when.
ever possible. An appeal has
been sounded to every farmer and
every other person in the rural
districts to "Cut Cord Now"
and thereby release great quanti-
ties Of coal for the war industries
and also lift that burden from the
backs of the railroads.

THE RED CROSS CAM
PA|CN.

New Orleans, La, June s.
When the campaign to enroll
l 900 nurses in the Gulf Division
of the Red Cross opened Monday,
i've Louisiana nurses and three
from Mississippi were waiting for
admission. Their applications were
followed later Monday by a mum.
ber of others from the three states
comprising the Gulf Division.
The five Louisianians who ap
Piled ahead of the campaign were:
Miss Rosa Robinson, Misses A
aud E Fontaine, Miss Myra La
lame and Miss Corallie Block, of
New Orleans, and Mrs. G. ID. Da.
Wis of Opelousas.
Miss Maude Hannah, of Gulf
port, was the first Mississippi
nurse to offer herself. Her appli.
cation was followed shortly by
those Of Miss Il. Il Owen and
Miss Olive Spell, of Jackson.
The quota that will make up
the 200 for the division are AS
follows: Alabama, 36l; Louisiana,
372; Mississippi, 267.
Applications may be made di
rect to Miss l.. Agnes Dasplt,
head of the Nursing Bureau for
the Gulf Division of the Red
Cross, Postotfice Building. New
Orleans, or to the enrolment com
miltees which she had named 10
each state.
Miss Daspit asks every chapter
Of nurses in the three states TO ap
point recruiting committee which
will enlist eligible nurses in the
Red Gross.
Ihe Red Gross ls seeking Ameri.
cas- bravest wOmanhood. Never
before in the history of the world
have nurses had such an Opportu
nifty for glory. Not only will they
be needed to care for the wounded
abroad and for the soldiers fami-
lies at home, but on them will rest
the responsibility for restoring to
usefulness after the war the men
who were manned during the big
struggle.
Nurses are needed at the large
naval hospitals in this country as
we'll as ut several naval base hos
p,tals in Europe. Several thou
sand will be assigned to these
places. Surgeon General Braist
ed of the Navy has added his ap.
peal to that of Surgeon General
Gorgas of the Army. Unless the
naval hospitals have adequate
nursing service the control OF the
seas will suffer, he says.
There are 70, 900 registered nurses
in America from which we draw
the needed 20, 900, it is estimated.
In OF der that there will be enough
nurses left to care for the people
at home, the Red Cross suggests
the following plan:
no not employ nurses for indi
vsdual cases unless there is dire
necessity.
Use hospitals whenever possible.
Nurses ineligible for service
abroad by reason of age or health
should enroll for part time in local
hospitals and baby Saving sta
tions, or as public health nursing.
Married nurses who have retired
should resume work for at least
part of their time.
