NURSES AID SCHOOL OPENS
AUGUST is,


With our country deeply involved
in this great worlds crisis, it is so
necessary and befitting that every call
for service of any kind be answered
Immediately and willingly, no sacri-
flee or task is too great and should
be made at once by every true Amer
ican. The American Red Cross AS
sociation has issued a call for the i'm
mediate registration for service of all
Colored graduate nurses, but the
number needed is far greater than
the registration. Another call has
been issued for women between the
ages of IS and 35 years. These wom-
en- are to be trained in first aid work.
Why should not the Colored women
of the country be given the opportun-
ity to show their patriotism and to
serve with their husbands and broth
ers in the struggle for democracy? ?
The Hospital and Health Board of
Kansas City has generously opened
the doors of the hospital for a course
of free training to the Colored women
of the country to fit themselves for
service in first aid work. We can &C
comodate 1000 members. Registra-
ton days August 12, 13 and IA at the
City Hospital from 900 to 300
School qualities applicants for foreign
and home service. Certificates
of graduation given on completion OF
course. Tuition free.

PRESIDENT WILSON PLEASED WITH
COLORED EDITORS CONFEREN CE.
Warmly Commends Fine Philosophy Of Demo-
cracy" Exhibited in Frank and Calm Con-
sideration of War Issue-Sets Inspiring
Example for all Patriotic Americans.

In the meantime, it is cheering to
see that the fine philosophy of demo
cracy, which is at this time the inspir-
alton of the great effort of our coun-
try, was felt and expressed by these
conferees as the dominating thought
which ought to control all Americans
in the present crisis.
Cordially yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
To Mr.. Emmett j. Scott,
Special Assistant,
The War Department.
This ungrudging endorsement of
the Colored Editors conference and
sincere tribute to the loyalty of the
colored citizens to the cause held
dearest to all Americans will hearten
the Negro people all over the land.
The Presidents ringing utterance in
denuciation of mob violence, the ac-
ceptance of colored nurses for war
service, and a score of advantageous
plans for the induction of the Negro
soldiers in technical schools and
training camps for officers, followed
closely by this exceedingly cordial
letter of the President, give ground
for belief that the Negro-American is
during these days of national emer
gency and need, coming to be recog
nized more and more by the general
Government as factor Of importance
in the winning of the war.

EUGENE EDWARD VAUGHN
MEETS DEATH BY DROWING

Both Kansas Citys were inexpress-
IDLY shocked when the news spread
with lightning rapidity that Eugene
Edward Vaughan, 26 years of age
Advertising Manager of the Kansas
City Sun and dealer in real estate,
had been drowned at Bonner Springs,
Kans., where he was in camp with the
detachment of Boy Scouts of which
he was Scout Master He had been
swimming with the boys and coming
to a deep and dangerous place in the
stream had gone in to ascertain
whether it was safe when he was ap-
parently seized with the cramps and
instantly went to the bottom before
aid could come to his assistance At
ter three hours search the body was
recovered, and though pulmotors were
applied all efforts to restore life were
in vain. Mr. Vaughan was an ex-
emplary young man who stood exceed
ingly high in this community as at
tested by the fact that hundreds of
the most prominent people of the two
cities were in attendance at his fu-
neral while the floral offerings were
exceedingly numerous and beautiful.
He leaves to mourn his loss father,
mother and two sisters, both of whom
are popular teachers and in fact the
whole family are prominent in uplift
and intellectual movements, the
father, DR.. Edw. R. Vaughan, being
dean of the Theological Department
at Western University and pastor of

er who is former President of the
famous Progress Study Club and iden-

lectual organizations all of which at.
test the splendid environment in
which young Vaughan grew to man

The funeral was held from Allen
Chapel Tuesday at 300 P. NJ. and
the casket passed through long line
composed of Boy Scouts of the two
cities, the Knights Templar, Ideal

SENATE OBJECTS TO
BOND SALE CLAUSE
Section 5 Of Measure Passed nv
House Only Obstacle in
the Way.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 1.-THE Senate
Committee on Finance reviewed and ar.
proved to-day and is prepared to rcpor,
favorably. the legislation asked by Sc.
rotary of the Treasury McAdoo to facil-
itate the sale OF the bonds OF the four,.
Liberty loan, with the exception Of Sc.
ton Of the measure as passed by the
House yesterday.
An effort to modify this section In the
House failed. Section 6 reads as fol.
lows:
Section 5-That clause (b) Of section
8. of the Trading With the Enemy Act b.
and hereby Is amended to read as FOL
lows:
OBJ That the President may invest
igate, regulate. or prohibit, under such
rules and regulations az he may pre-
scribe, by means of licenses or otherwise
any transactions in foreign exchange or
in bonds or certificates OF Indebtedness
of the United States and the export
boarding, melting or earmarkings of gold
or silver coin, or bullion, or currency
transfers of credit in any form Cother
than credits relating solely to transar-
tons to be executed wholly within tho
United States), and transfers of evil
dences of indebtedness or OF the owner
ship OF property between the United
States and any foreign country. whether
enemy, ally OF enemy, or otherwise Or
between residents of one or more foreign
countries, by any person within the
United States and he may require any
such person engaged In any such trans.
action to furnish under oath completr
information relative thereto, including
the production of any books of accoun,
contracts. letters or other papers in con
nection Herewith in the custody or con-
troll OF such person, either before or after
such transaction Is completed"
Tho objection raised in the Finance
Committee and which prevented the COM
plete acceptance of the House bill by the
Finance Committee to-day is that ths
power to place an inhibition upon trans.
actions in Government securities is held
to be unusual and unnecessary and ~
the same time subversive of the rights
of the individual owners OF such securi-
ties.
The committee felt that the section
constitutes n fragrant invasion Of the
liberty of markets. The condemnation o.
this part of the proposed bill was Nerr
general in the Finance Committee. and
the measure when 1t comes before tho
committee again on Monday Is likely IN
have the Objectionable section strickcI
out before it is reported TO the Senate.

BETHLEHEM STEEL YIELDS.
Averts Labor Trouble by Obeying
War Boards Mandate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-Threatened
labor difficulties at the Bethlehem, Pa,
steel works have been averted by a
promise from the company to obey an
order from the War Labor Board to put
into effect Immediately the boards
award in the wage controversy.
Eugene c. Grace, chairman of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, was dl-
rected to apply the award after a COM
mittee OF employees had presented a
formal complaint that the corporation
was delaying action.
Mr.. Grace protested to the board that
application of the award would cost the
corporation $2,500,000 month and
asked for provision for additional COM
pensation. The board declined to pass
any resolution on the subject. but in
dividual members said they would not
oppose efforts on the part of the corpora
ton to obtain additional compensation
from the War and Navy departments on
the contracts already held. Mr. Grace
agreed to formulate plans at once for a
democratic election among the workmen
of committeeman to represent them in
applying the award and that the plans
win be submitted to the board for its
approval.
The employees committee returned to
Bethlehem to-day.

els your blood starving for want of iron
Iron is red blood food. II you were to go
without eating until you became weak, thin
and emacisted, you could not do more
serious harm to yourself than when you let
your blood literally starve for want of IRON
iron, that gives il strength and power to change
food into living tissue" says DR.. James Francis
Sullivan, formerly physician Of Bellevue Hos.
Pital Outdoor Deptl New York and the
Westchester County Hospital.
Modern methods of cooking aud the rapid
pace at which people of this country live has
made such an alarming increase in iron de6c-
iency in the blood of American men and WON.
en- that have often marveled at the large
number of people who lack iron in the blood,
and who never suspect the cause of their weak,
nervous rundown state. Lack of iron in the
blood not only makes a man a physical and
mental weakling, nervous, irritable, easily
fatgued, but it utterly, rebs him Of that virile
force. that stamina and strength of will which
ore so necessary to success and power in every
walk of life. II may also transform beauti.
full, sweet.tempered woman into one who is
cross, nervous and irritable. L have strongly
emphasized the great necessity of physicians
making blood examinations of their weak,
an1mic. rundown patienta Thousands of
persons go on year after year suffering from
physical Weakness and a highly nervous con-
dition due to lack Of sufficient iron in their
red blood corpuscles without ever realizing the
real and true cause of their trouble. Without
iron in your blood your food merely passes
through the body, something like corn through
an old mill with rollers so wide apart that the
mill can't grind.
"For want of iron you may be an old man at
thirty, dull Of intellect, poor in memory, nerv.
Gus, irritable and all rundown while at
so or 80 with plenty of mon IN your blood
you may still be young in feeling. full Of life,
your whole being trimming over with vim and
energy.
As proof Of this take the case Of Former
United States Senator and Vice Presidential
nominee Charles A. Towne, who at past So

Iron Of the greatest benefit as a tonic and

diate hslpfuiness of this remedy, and I'M
hesitatiAgly recommend Nuxated Iron 70 those
who feel the need Of renewed energy and the
regularity Of bodily functions
But In my opinion you can't make strong,
keen, forceful men and healthy rosy-cheeked
women by feeding them on metallic iron. The
old forms Of metallic iron must 20 through q
digestive process to transform them into or.
