ROUGH WORK CUT OUT
OF TRAINING NURSES
Lie No Longer One OF Drudgery As
In Old Days, Says Miss Sally
Johnston

On interest in Annapolis. where the
drive for the L s Student Nurse Re
serve is in progress, is the address
delivered at Osler Hall. Baltimore,
yesterday by Miss Sally Johnston. in
structor of nurses at the Walter Reed
Army Hospital. Washington.
Miss Johnston answered many OBJ
jections that are being raised by par
ents of young women who wish TO vol
unteer for this service She contra
dicted the statement that the working
life of a nurse is only 10 years. say
ing that conditions have so improved
in hospitals that the health and vital
ity of any group of nurses would prob
ably be stronger than that of SINH
lar group of teachers.
Miss Johnston said a nurses duties
are not a mechanical carrying out of
doctors orders, but that there is con-
slant demand upon them for an initia-
tive of action and their field of work
calls for different development from
that of a physician
The drudgery of scrubbing and
cleaning that was formerly a part of
the probationer's training is no
longer required in hospitals and Miss
Johnston declared that she had heard
many nurses say their three years of
training were the happiest of their
lives.

FIREMEN'S CARNIVAL
WELL ATTENDED
Larger Crowd Than Ever Last Night.
The Queens Contest Closes
Tomorrow Night

Last night in point Of attendance al
the Firemen's Fete was a record
breaker. People seemed TO take IL that
there were cooling breezes on the Old
City Hotel Lot. and they were not mis-
taken. for If there was any breeze TO
be found anywhere it was there.
The cooling drinks. however. were a
"delustion and a snare" There being
an ice famine, there was none TO cool
OF the soft drinks. which were con-
spicuous by their absence.
A like situation prevailed at the ice
cream booth. except there was ice
cream there. but for lack of proper
packing it was soft and mushy and
anything but palatable and what ice
cream should be
The candy booth did the usual good
business and the other attractions
were literally patronized.
II is expected the Firemen's Fete
will close Monday night, and it has
been given out officially that the
Queen Contest will positively close to
morrow night, when all votes must be
in and the count will be officially an

HOME SERVICE
HOLDS INSTITUTE
Department OF Civilian Relief OF The
Red Cross In Session At
Richmond. Va.

Twenty-seyen students from six
States attended the Home Service In
stitute given by the School of Social
Work and Public Health in Richmond,
Va, for the Department of Civilian Re-
lief of the American Red Cross, which
closed last week Most of the ladies
attending this unusual type of train
ing school were volunteers who went
TO Richmond to study for six weeks in
order that they might return to their
home communities TO devote their
time TO social service with the fami-
lies of soldiers and sailors. Many of
them paid their own expenses, though
they will work without remuneration.
They went not only from such cities
as Lynchburg, Petersburg and
Fredericksburg, Va, and WHEELING
Charleston, W. Va. and such towns
and Cumberland, Md, but from such
rural counties as Accomac. Dinwid-
die, Giles, and Botetourt Counties. Va,
and Charles County Md. Probably
never before has there been so much
interest in social service in the cities
and rural counties of the South as
there is now in the relief and care of
the families of soldiers and sailors.
The institute began on June oath
and lasted six weeks. Lectures were
given by the leading social workers
and public health officials of the
State as well as by officials from the
Potomac Division of the Red Cross.
DR.. L. NJ Bristol of the University of
West Virginia, also delivered a series
of lectures during the first three
weeks The students were given prac-
teal experience with the Home Serv-
ice Sections of Richmond and Peters
burg.
This course was intended largely
for the training of volunteers who re-
turn to their home communities to
give part-time service without re-
muneration The pressing need now
is for workers who can give all their
time on salary and who can go wher-
ever they are sent. The School of
Social Work and Public Health, be-
ginning October LIST will give another
course in Richmond preparing work
ers for positions of this type Besides
Red Cross Home Service training will
be given in other forms of wartime
social service such as protective work
for girls, welfare work in munition
plants, probation officers, recreation,
travellers aid, charity organization,
religious social service, ETC. Social
work is now recognized profession
with definite salaries of from SIS to
500 per month to begin with DR.
II. H. Hibbs, Jr., director of the
School of Social Work and Public
Health, states that he is repeatedly
called on to fill positions of the kind
described above, but they have found
it impossible to find sufficient workers
with the training and experience ne
cessary. By means of these courses it
is hoped TO meet this need.
Annapolis is interested in the Home
Service work, which is being ably
conducted here under the chairman
ship of Mr.. w, Meade Holiday, Miss
Nell Ennis, secretary, with office in
the Municipal Building. Duke of Glou-
cester street. The conference to have
been held here last week was post

ct would be a misfortune of last
ing consequences il the missionary
program for the world should be in
terrupted," says President Wilson in
answer 10 a question as TO whether IL
should be maintained not only in spite
OF the war, but because of il. Here
follows the Presidents reply in full:
Il entirely agree with you in regard
TO the missionary work, think ii
would be a real misfortune, a misfor-
tune of lasting consequence, if the
missionary program for the world
should be interrupted. There are
many calls for money, of course. and
can quite understand that il may be-
come more difficult than ever to OBJ
tain money for missionary enterprises
but that the work undertaken should
be continued and continued as far
as possible-at it's full force, seems
TO me of capital necessity and I. for
one, hope that there may be no
slackening or recession of any sort.

Until recently the accordion was
looked upon in this country as merely
peculiar sort Of novelty instrument
with rather limited musical possibil-
tiles, but in the hands Of an artist like
DeVito it has proved one of the most
popular of all forms of musical enter
tainment. 1t is no uncommon sight
nowadays for audiences to encore the
accordion numbers so often as to tax
the performer nearly beyond the
bounds of physical endurance.
The piano-accordion which Devito
will play at the Chautauqua is really
wonderful instrument. 1t is a whole
band, and orchestra and pipe organ,
almost, in one, has over a hundred
keys, loud and soft pedal, and cost
rs much as a grand piano. Devito is
great accordion player. With it he
Initiates every instrument in the Or
chestra including the drums, and
plays every variety of music from
popular airs to the gems from the
great operas and symphonies.

NO SPECULATION
IN BUTTER NOW
Food Administration Issues Strict
Regulations on Amount of Pro-
fit Allowed Dealers in
This Product.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, July 26.-The
United States food administration has
made rules to prevent protiteering and
speculation in butter.
On June 10, the food officials made
rules governing dealers in cold stor-
age butter. Now they are extended
to cover fresh butter
The licensee dealing in butter must
sell it without regard to the market
or replacement value at the time of
the sale and at not more than a rea-
sonable advance over cost to him OF
the particular butter sold. This pre-
vents speculation.
ANY dealer may average the cost
of ali cold storage butter of the same
grade placed by him in a cold storage
warehouse in any calendar month,
and may sell such butter at not more
than a. reasonable advance over such
average cost but when he averages the
cost of any butter stored in a calendar
month. he must average the cost OF
ALL butter stored in that month.
The food administration has fixed
the reasonable profits which dealers
may have.
