bill by Congressman Raker Of California suggests
hat the Government make efficient useful
and ct the time show appreciation Of the nurse work.
By giving the proper military rank and authority to women
working in the army.
Under this bill the superintendent of the nurses hospital
would have the rank Of major the assistant to the supe
tsndsnt that Of captain lieutenant according to training
and responsibility.
Do you ask why should women nurses have military
rank?" =
The answer that wounded men are important Nurses
the mems lives The nurses orders obeyed mean the
saving Of life, and disobeyed, the loss Of LIFE
In the army 1t is RANK that gives authority
The army should have rank in order that their
orders be respected and obeyed-
They should have rank also evidence that the nation
appreciates their services the fact that they risk their lives
for their country the fact that they ENTITLED to honor
the same as men.
On behalf of the New York City Committee on National
Defense of which she is chairman Mrs W. B. Hearst has
sent to each member Of the Committee Military Affairs
the following telegram:
Mayor Hylan's committee of women on ma
donal defense respectfully requests your considera-
ton of the measure to give nurses a certain army
rank, In order that their acts and orders may be
more authoritative and may secure more prompt
and perfect compliance from the orderes and other
persons properly subject to their instructions.
As you know, the nurses Of countries other than
America have such rank, and employ it benehcially
for the hospitals and the patients therein
The bill q. z. 11081) will come before the
Committee on Military Affairs Of the House of Rep
resentatives tomorrow TUESDAY, April 16th). The
members of the mayors committee wish to express
their thanks for your kind consideration.

the pursuit Of happiness.
After repeated and melancholy
attempts to make things go" at
home. and attendant humiliations
and failures. one Of two things is
bound to happen. Either the girl
goes outside for her fun, with all
the dangers that that involves, or
she become dispirited and gives
up the attempt to have a normal
life. Youth. slips away, her
chances go by, and there is nothing
in store for her but lonesome
old age.
Parents are to blame for their
children's unhappiness more OFTEN
than they realize. To them their
children never grow up, they fail
to realize these children have in
herited the same impulses, aspira-
tons, and instincts that are the
legacy Of the human race.
To the mother, the daughter IS
still the little girl in the white
frock and pigtails, and if it is not
convenient for daughter to have
in her little friends, there is no
use discussing the matter.
Then sometimes comes the fear
full realization that daughter is no
longer the little girl in white, but
a grown woman who has been
facing her life problem away from
home-and the solution has been

If parents would only stand to-
gether on this vital issue, il
father must sit in shirt-sleeves
and socks, there must be some
nook or Granny in the fiat where
he can enjoy the privilege undis-
turbed.
And mother had better let
something about the house 60,
while she helps to make the lemon
ade and sandwiches, and then puts
on her best dress to make the
company feel welcome.

A Home Is the Right of Every Girl

TN Washington there is a
woman wise in her genera
ton. She is Mrs. Alexander
E. Williams, wife OF a lieutenant
colonel in the United States army.
She realized as soon as girls be-
gan to pour into the National Cap
ital to do war work for the Gov
ernment, how necessary II was for
them to have real homes.
She planned for them, not a hall
bedroom in which to snatch a few
hours necessary sleep before going
to work again, but a genuine
hearth stone. Here around a big
table there would be good meals,
with talk and fun and girlish chat
ter about "the department" spring
hats, or the last letter from back
home"
All Of these things, instead Of
stool at some wretched lunch coun-
ter, unappetizing food, with the
horrors Of a solitary dinner, and
the bleak return to the hall' bed
room again.
Out OF her own pocket Mrs. VIII
iiams financed this scheme; there
were seven houses in the begin
ning-by this time there are prob
ably more-and now they are all
on a paying basis.
In addition to managing the
houses, Mrs. Williams has prevail
ed on Washington people who
could spare the room, TO accept on
a family footing, about five hundred
girls. She accepted no offers
where the householders would not
agree TO accept the war workers
on this family basis.
In every case she secured refer
ences from the home towns of the
girls, and Of the hundreds who Sc
cured rooms, only two were unable
to furnish vouchers Of good con-
. duct.
No more patriotic work could

UNWISE FOR GIRLS TO SEEK THEIR

doing the clerical work Of the
country at this time. For the
plight Of a girl, without q home,
is that Of a mariner without a
compass.
Not always do parents with
daughters realize the necessity Of
this haven for a girl. The home
is too often the place where she
eats and sleeps, not the place
where she sees her friends, and
talks out her daily problems.
This is especially true of the
homes of our less prosperous citi-
zens, the struggle % keep things
going is so great that any extra
pound Of pressuHe-in the way Of
company-is not to be considered.
The already overworked mother
does not see how she can do any
thing more, the ruinous cost of
everything, the difficulty Of re-
ceiving strangers in a home where
younger children keep things dis
ordered, too often absorb the
mothers attention to the exclu-
sion Of the. claims of her grown
up daughters sacred rights.
The girl, young, and full OF
quest of enjoyment, seeks her so.
cial life outside of her home,
mother and daughter grow apart,
even if there are not more serious
consequences to this unfortunate
arrangement. .
No matter how humble, the pro-
per background Of a girl is her
home; there are her people, there
her friends should be welcome,
and there she should have

will permit.
Fathers and mothers sin mere
deeply against their daughters
than they realize, when through
indlnerence or ungraciousness to
their daughters friends, they drive
the girl to 60 somewhere else for
her little pleasures.
Half the tragedies that overtake
girls begin with this statement:
i began meeting him out because
couldn't see him at home"
tbs Is even true Of the girl
whose daily work and weekly pay
envelope help to keep the home
going. The mother works so hard
all day long that the added burden
OF liking up for company" is the
last straw.
She can no longer recall the
temptations of her own youth, the
struggle Of making both ends meet
has blunted her finer perceptions.
She has forgotten that life calls
and beckons from without, when
those within the home grow for
getful Of the claims-of youth.
And sometimes the mother is not
at fault, she is willing to accept
the responsibility of 'Mary's beau"
or the little group Of friends who
are coming to the party" It is
the father who is ofteneH the Of
