THE STUDENT NURSE RESERVE.

The government is making renewed appeal
TO young women to join the student nurse re-
serve. Many enstments have been received but
the desired $4,000 enrolment is far from being
complete.
The war is creating an unprecedented demand
for trained nurses. Only those who have taken
the full training course are eligible for service
with our forces overseas. These nurses are be-
ing drawn largely from our hospitals at home.
Their places must be filled by student nurses en-
rolled for the full training course of from two
to three years. Every young woman who en-
rolls in the United States student nurse reserve
swelling the home army which must rely
to act as second line of hospital defense.
Intelligent, responsible women between the
ages of nineteen and thirty-five, of good educa-
ton and sound health are wanted-the pick of
the country.
Those chosen will be assigned to nurses
schools, where, in practically every instance
they will receive board, lodging and tuition free
with small remuneration to cover cost of books
and uniforms. The term of training is from
two to three years.
The student nurse reserve offers attractive
opportunity to women who desire to aid to the
utmost in the winning of the war and the train
living in one of the noblest of professions.

A STEP FORWARD

The action of Director General McAdoo in
cancelling all express franks will be received
generally with approval.
In the past free service was given by the ex-
press companies to. large number of people,
not only express officers and employees but also
the officers of railroad companies and others. AS
a result of this practice great many express
franks in existence and large quantity
of goods was carried free of charge.
After careful consideration the Director Cen
eral decided that it was proper and wise to elm
mate this free service entirely, and as result
all matter now carried by express is paid for.
The public has never been able to understand
why certain individuals should be favored over
the great majority. And there is no reason why
they should be. Franks, passes, and all kindred
free service constitute species of graft danger
Gus to our democratic government and in stamp
ing out insidious branch fthat graft Mr..
McAdoo has taken long step in the right direc-
ton.

needed.

neeQeQ.
The Y. NJ C. A. has an important function in
the growth development and betterment of PEN
sacola. That our people appreciate its i'm
portance is evidenced by the splendid building
which they made possible by the liberal response
to the comparatively few appeals which the as
sociation has made for funds with which to ex-
carry on its work.
The present campaign will not be a solicita-
ton for contributions. The membership fees
will of course, enable the association to meet its
obligations and broaden the scope of its useful
work, but the members and the community will
receive full value-and more-for every dollar.
Five hundred membership applications this
week should prove easy goal, because Pensa-
cola appreciates the work which the Y. M. c. A.
is doing and will be glad of the opportunity to
express that appreciation in practical way.

SIRUP- TO REPLACE SUGAR

According to reports appearing in several
louisiana papers the sugar shortage has
couraged planters to broaden the use of pure
cane strip. made from cane juice without taking
any of its sugar. This juice is boiled to point
just below that required to crystalline it into
sugar and can be used not only for griddle cakes,
sweet cakes, and candy making but is recon-
mended by the planters as a sweetener for coffee
and tea. 1t is really sugar in liquid form and on
basis of 8 cents per pound retail for graduated
sugar will yield economies from 40 to 90 per cent
at rate of IL and cents per pound for the
sirup. The Louisiana planters believe that pure
cane sirup has wide range of usefulness in
households, bakeries, candy factories, ice cream
plants, and similar establishments.

THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN

Il. W.
The membership campaign of the Pensacola
Young Mems Christian Association to be con-
Quoted this week is of greater Importance than
many of us realize. Every man, every young
man and every boy who accepts membership will
become better fundamentally, morally and
physically-the Individual and the community
will benefit.
The work of the local Y. M. c. A. has not been
spectacular, but going about it's business quietly
and persistently in true desire to serve not its
members alone, but the entire community, it has
been tremendously effective.
For more than a dozen years men and boys,
residents and strangers, have found welcome
within its walls. Many young man, newly ar
rived among u.s. has formed his first local friend
ships at the Y. M. G. A.-perhaps his first job,
his first home and church relations were made
possible through the assistance of the general
secretary.
The effect in terms of physical stamina and
moral worth of systematic physical culture for
the hundreds who have passed through the Y.
NJ c. A. gymnasium cannot be estimated
There are men prominent in the official life of
Pensacola today who received special training
or added to their regular schooling through the
associations night school.
Men who serve superintendent of Sunday
schools and teachers of Bible classes, look back
upon the associations teachers training classes
as valuable aids in their present work
Then, there are the boys,-those boisterous-
shy fellows, with hair-trigger conscences and
most contradictory tendencies, so susceptible to
every influence good and bad-for more than
ten years average of hundred of them
each year have come under the direct social
physical, educational and religious influence of
the Pensacola Y. NJ. C. A. through membership
in the association. And through extension work
in connection with the Fairgrounds, the schools,
the Boy Scouts and the churches, almost the
entire boy life of Pensacola has been touched in
one way another.
Many who once members of the boys
department of the Y. M. C. A. are now serving
in our army and navy, goody number of
them being in the commissioned ranks. Many
are in business One is general secretary of the
Y NJ. C. A. which he first knew as member of
the boys department.
And in the training of secretaries, the Pensa-
cola 'eY'' has been most successful John Brad
ford is now secretary for commercial service in
the city of Montreal; Harry Hoppen is recog-
nized as an expert in industrial associations
Robert Mcdowell now heads all the boys de-
partments in the city of Pittsburgh; Walt Cum
ningham in Dallas, is recognized as leader
among secretaries for the educational and re-
ligious departments. These men began the work
in which they are now so successful in the Pen

PRESS COMMENT.
REVISING RAILROAD PAYROLLS.

When great wage increase for railroad
operatives was announced last spring
an astonishing disparity was shown be-
tween the compensation received by
trainmen and the much more numerous
employees engaged in offices and upon
the tracks, iSeventy-five per cent. OF
the more than 100000 railroad workers
were in receipt of less than $95 a month,
and tens of thousands engaged in highly
laborious work or in a clerical capacity
were paid no more than $500 a year
Brotherhoodism has kept the compen-
sation of trainmen at a high square figure,
and it was these wages which were first
advanced as rsult of Government
control Today this finding ia Justly
supplemented by an order from Director
General McAdoo which makes substantial
additions TO the earnings of the whole
class of poorly paid employees. In
many cases this increase amounts TO
S25 n month and II embraces as regards
women the guarantee that they shall
be paid equally with men for the same
service.
Wartime operation of railroads has
revealed nothing more surprising than
the starvation payrolls of these great
corporations With salaries IN the man
agcment often reaching $50, 600 and Si00,-
600 year and embracing S3 ,WO To 5000
a year for the aristocracy Of labor, hun
drcds of thoudsands of workers received
only bare subsistence and yet were charged
