"Mr. Vrain has gone to Philadelphia
to attend an important conference"

"Then why didn't someone telephone

dryly.
HE promised to take me to lunch

Bell grinned. It wasn't polite of him,
but he couldn't help it. Some peoples
troubles were so trivial!
"Just for that" she said primly, 'I'Il
have to request yOu to escort me to
the Delange for luncheon. I've come
all the way into town to be lunched
with by man, and as long as father

And few moments later they were
seated at a coy table for two In a
rather crowded dining room, inspect
Ing each other curiously. They both
seemed surprised to be getting on SO
we'll together. and before she knew it,
1nez Vrain was chattering to Collin
Bell as If he were a favored friend Of
her own social world.
But suddenly Bells face underwent a
change. Coming toward them, preced-
ed by the head waiter, was the "Old
Man." followed by friend. The "Old
Man." noticed Bell, and started to bow
genially, when he caught the curve Of
his daughters cheek and instead Of
passing on, he stopped.
Hello, Bell" he said cordially ex-
tending his hand. and successfully COW
ering his surprise.
"Why, dad" said Inez, ''Mr. Bell
said you had gone to Philadelphia to
attend a cOnference!"
Bell drew down the lid of his left
eye, and the "Old Man" just caught
himself in time.
'To be sure" he said easily, "but a
wire came at the last minute and post
poned it,
And as he moved away he said in
an Off-hand manner: "Wish you'd drop
Into my office the first thing Monday

Philadelphia matter"
And Collin Bell was not sure, but he
thought the "Old Man" winked at him.
On Monday morning the "Old Man"
leaned back in his chair and grinned
ut Collin Bell.

TEACHERS TO MEET.
Special to Independent.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. S.-The largest meeting of the Arkansas Teachers Association ever held in the state will assemble here April for three days meeting.
 The executive committee of the as- sociation has repeatedly been assured hy the hotels, the citizens and the Board of Commerce that five thousand teachers can be adequately taken care of in the city. Ample preparations 5 are being made to see that all teach CTS who visit Little Rock association ! week are entertained.
 Among the special features that will be provided will be parade of < the teachers, demonstrating to the laity the strength and force of the Ar kansas State Teachers Association, the one great organization whose sole purpose is to promote the cause of education in Arkansas, and to elevate the character and advance the inter- ests of the profession of teaching.
 Trips to Camp Pike, Fort Logan H. Roots, and the Ebberts Aviation Field near Lonoke, are also being planned, which will interest every teacher in the state The Board of Commerce will give reception, and other interesting features of the Eff tieth Anniversary meeting will be an nounced later.
 There will be twenty strong section programs and general programs on which will appear men and women of state and national prominence with messages that each teacher should hear.
 The officers expect that every pro- gressive teacher in the state will be- come member for the Jubilee meet ing, and that fully five thousand will be in attendance.
 Much is to be expected of the schools in the future on account of the great national crisis, and the educa- tional forces of the state and nation will be expected to stand periodically to the front to see that the educational needs of the boys and girls are safe- guarded to the utmost of the ability of each teacher.

I'll buy dozen Smileage Books, and then dozen more, gadzooks; and send them to some soldier chaps, and help to brighten up their maps. Oh, anything that can do, to keep them cheerful, bright and sane, and drive the fantods from the brain, I'll do with forty kinds of glee; so you can always count on me. am too fat to scrap myself; old age has placed me on the shelf; I'm welded to my easy chair, couldn't whip Belgian hare. The younger men must fight for me, and see that I have liberty, and all the blessings I desire, while l sit dozing by the fire. For me they've left their homes and friends, to go where blood shed never ends; for me they march On soggy moor, and pains and weari- ness endure; for me to France they will repair, perhaps to fall and perish there. For me the brave young men 20 forth, from East and West, from South and North, with buoyant hearts that must not tire, while l sit dream ing by the fire.

 There are 75 accredited schools oi nursing in this district that will pre- pare volunteers for service. Two years duty Is required.
 Nursing education not only prepares for large variety of professional fields. but it is an excellent prepara tion for home and family life and for public service in many ways Almost upon enrolment the student begins her service to the community in help ing to care for the sick, as part of her instruction and training. This service to the community will be greatly in creased in war time, because the con ditions of war, which take wage-earh CTS from the homes and nurses from the civilian hospitals, produce an in creased amount of sickness and dis tress among the civilian population with decreased facilities for guarding it's health
 It might be added that enrolment tn the Red Cross does not compel one to go into war service, though there is moral compulsion that one should do so.
 When Red Cross nurses are called upon for active duty they receive $oO a month in the United States and $6O month elsewhere, plus maintenance and travelling expenses.

RED GROSS NEEDS 40,000 NURSES IN
 WAR ZONE ALONE
PARlOTIc WOMEN OF SOUTH. WEST ARE URGED TO VOL
 UNTEER THEIR SERVICES.
RARE CHANGE FOR PATRIOTS
Those Between the Ages of 21 and 40 Who Can Pass Physical Ex- animation Are Qualified
 for Enlistment.

Women of the Southwest have a chance to show their patriotism now as never before since the beginning of the war. They have been bravely giv- ing up. their sons. fathers, brothers, sweethearts and husbands to fight in the great war; they have knitted thou sands of sweaters, helmets, wristlets and mufflers; they have practicea food conservation, bought Liberty bonds, Red Cross memberships, thrift stamps and certificates; they have marched in dozens of parades, attend ed hundreds of meetings and made hundreds of patriotic talks.
 But in few instances have they been given an opportunity to go into the field of the world struggle. This is the path they now have chance to take.
 The Department of Nursing of the American Red Cross, the mobilizing agency for nurses in military service, still is in urgent need of recruits. The Red Cross wants the strong, brave, competent women of the Southwest to step forward and prepare to go to France and help nurse the brave sons of the United States when they fall on the battlefield.
 Thousands of Nurses Needed.
 This appeal to the Southwest is is sued by Miss Lyda Andersen, head of the Nursing Department, Southwest ern Division American Red Cross, and should be heard by every woman in this district. The need for more nusses is so acute that the surgeon-general of the United States estimates that with in short time the Red Cross Will need 4O,O00 nurses for the army alone Besides that, he points out that the Allies also are depending upon the United States to supplement their nursing service.
 It is estimated that there are be- tween 80,000 and 9O,OOO registered nurses in the United States at the present time, meaning graduates of accredited schools Of this number 16,600 are enrolled Red Cross nurses, the majority of whom are in active service, ready for mobilization or pre- pared for specific service.
 To be Red Cross nurses one must be graduate of an accredited school, be between the ages of 21 and 45 and must pass physical examination. Aft CT the necessary 10000 nurses are drawn from the total number of regis tered nurses in the country there will be only half enough nurses left here to take care of the civilian needs.
 Nursing Is Fine Preparation.
 Therefore, the only solution to the problem-the only way to provide suf- ficient number of nurses to care for the American soldiers in Europe-is for women of the Southwest to answer the call of the Red Cross and say
