STATE GETS BEST
 J. $. MEN BECAUSE
 WAGES ARE BETTER

Arizona wants good men in it's en- ploy and it is willing to pay for them.
 This is the policy followed by the commission Of state institutions in se- curing men who are experts in their line of work. The federal government. on the other hand, follows a narrower policy paying it's employees according to classification ratner than individual ability. And this is just where the federal government losing some very good men. The state of Arizona ob- tains these men.
 Indian Tailor Gone
 As an example of this, witness the state hiring the man who for years has been tailor at the Indian school. He is now doing the tailoring down at the state industrial school at Fort Grant. He also teaches the boys how to sew and tailor, besides helping in the work of military training. He is making the uniforms for the youngsters.
 MT. Wade, who built up an excellent reputation as farmer at the local Indian school was attracted into state employ by the offer of higher wages. He now has charge of the farming at the in- dustrial school. Then there is F. G. Williams, who used to have charge of the government date farm at Tempe. He has been secured by the state and he now has charge of all of the farming work at the state hospital for the in- sane.
 All Men Stand High
 All of these man stand high in their respective trades. They have made good with the government but Uncle Sam hasn't seen fit to pay them higher wages. What is the result? Somebody else recognizing their worth grabs them off by offering more money Mr. Brown, the superintendent at the Indian school has a baseball scout backed across the footlights when it comes te going out and picking up good help. And when he gets them here his hands are tied. The state runs across them and they move. Thus far the Indian school is making good employment agency for the commission of. state institutions

Good Start
SEEK $4,000 in NATION

To supply the Pennsylvania Delaware
divisions quota of 1851 nurses for the

today More than $1,000 nurses is the
total aimed at in the nation.
At auxiliary headquarters throughout

Nurses in every section Of Philadel-
phia and contiguous communities are
being urged to make every possible ef-
fort toward volunteering for service with
the Red Cross.
People who are at present employing
trained nurses are being called upon to
release them for duty with the Red Cross.
Committees are being lined up to get in
touch with all the nurses suitable for
this work, and to call upon them to en-
roll.
This call. emphasizing the duty Of all
persons employing nurses. has been is
sued by the Red Cross:
ITO release for service in the army and
navy nurse corps as a pressing military
necessity, every nurse whose services
are not imperatively needed at home.
This military necessity devolves di-
rectly upon every person employing
nurses where the dictates Of life or death
or the utmost physical necessity do not
demand them
"If you are employing a trained nurse
largely as a companion, it is your duty
to release her"

reach every nurse who has graduated
from recognized training school for
nurses and to bring before students in
hospital training schools th- immed-

uates Of women's colleges and high
| scuools to enroll Immediately as stu
dent nurses in hospitals. and especially
| in the army school of nursing recently
established by the army in connection
| with military hospitals. This army
school of nursing offers women the
opportunity of nursing sick and wound
ed men in military hospitals, and at the
| same time the opportunity Of completing
the course of training and enable them
! to become graduate nurses.
