Red Cross Appeals
For War Nurses

sam is TO win the war, is the natlon
cry to her women today. There are
at present 1000 nurses in military
and naval hospitals at home and
abroad, and a call for 5000 more be-
tween now and June | has been made
up in the Red Cross by Surgeon-Gen-
eral Gorgas of the army. He says
that of the $4,000 registered nurses
in the United States at least 10000
will be needed for service in army
hospitals this year. San Francisco
chapter of the American Red Cross
is earnestly endeavoring to supply its
quota of this enrolment by appealing
to women and girls to qualify them
selves TO take the places left vacant
by registered nurses who enter the
nations service.
263 Go From San Francisco.
OF the 460 registered nurses in San
Francisco when President Wilson de-
clared war, only 1877 are left, 223
having accompanied the three base
hospitals organized here and 40 join
ing units in the east. Fifty women
are taking the courses in elementary
hygiene and home care of the sick,
first aid and dietetics, which the edu
cation department of San Francisco
chapter is teaching, and which, when
completed, enables them to take up
hospital work, twelve to thirteen
weeks being necessary to acquire the
series of lessons. The membership
OF these classes must be greatly in
creased to comply with General Cor.
gas demand. Every hospital in the
city wants more registered nurses
than ii now has, and the need will
become more acute as the war pro-
crosses unless more women prepare
themselves to do hospital service.
What One Girl Did.
An example of what any healthy
woman or girl of moderate pecuniary
means can do to help the government
in this respect is furnished by Miss
Muriel Valentine, 775 Post strteet,
San Francisco, who departed on April
4 to perform hospital work in France
While taking the elementary hygiene
and first aid courses she incidently
learned how to run and care for a
motor car, and studied stenography,
and now she is thoroughly equipped
to perform almost any service re-
quired of woman attached to mill
tary organization.
That more women are not respond
ing to the call for nurses is because
they do not fully realize the vital
need of the country for their help.
Whether the American soldiers will
he protected and cared for when sick
or wounded depends on whether
American women are willing to make
the same sacrifice their brothers are
Failing in this, they will
have done incalculable harm to the
efficiency and morale of our troops.
The women who have not had the
necessary training for nursing service
can find her largest opportunity to
help the nation by taking it now.
The elementary hygiene and home
care of the sick class is to start in
Ashland as soon as twenty women
and girls have signed for the course.
The other course will follow immedi-
ately as we are anxious to finish the
entire course for those who would
like to offer their services to their
country
All those interested may register
name with Mrs. Frank Dickey or at
the Red Cross headquarters on Wed
nesday and Friday afternoons.

A few weeks ago, the central work
rooms received an urgent appeal from
the American army for 100000 first aid
packages to be supplied to American sol
diers. Each of these packages was to
contain 12 articles, the whole order
thus involving the manufacture of q
100000 separate dressings, together
with an enormous amount of labor in
connection with the careful packing
and shipment Of the packages. This
work, moreover, was to be carried on
without interfering with the regular
duties of the wokrooms in supplying
their usual hospital supplies. 1t was a
big order; but the executive commit

because it was right, and, hence,
it is but natural that his wise
counsel and sound judgment was
sought in every undertaking
affecting the betterment of hui
mainly, his town, county and
state. On the organization of
the Lexington Building and Loan
Association in 1887, and the
founding of the Traders Bank
in 1898, the stockholders of
both elected him as president,
serving as such until his death,
which speaks for itself as re-
CARDS the confidence and esteem
.reposed in him by the citizen
ship of Lexington, won by
worth, sterling honesty and con-
scientious business methods in
guarding the interests given in
to his keeping. His going home

There was not truer, useful or

of the old school, his nature so
genial, his whole life bore the
impress Of such goodness and
nobleness, that all who knew him
unite in a spontaneous tribute
to his nobility of character. I'm
assuming in his manners, up

one of Gods noblemen-a Chris

born in Harrodsburg, Virginia,
December 10, 1929, and had re-
