The Askov American.
Askov. MINI.
Gentlemen
Just few words to let you know
what business conditions are in the
East.
I was very much surprised at the
retail prices, they are certainly high
compared with those at home. Ihave
come in contact with some very
prominent merchandise men and they
seem to be all of the same opinion,
and / have come to the conclusion
that there will be a tendency toward
a rising market for at least two
years, assuming the war would be
over within three months. There
seems to be a great shortage of raw
material. 1t is no longer a question
of price, it is a question whether the
merchandise can be gotten at any
price. OF course you know what
that means-the scarcer the article
the greater the demand. Hence the
greater the cost.
l am enjoying my trip very much
and expect to be home in five or six
day. will close with kindest re-
CARDS and best wishes, am,
Sincerely yours,
Jos. H. Klein.

Red Cross Notes

If the war memories OF Easter
could be written down by Red Cross
nurses what a revelation they might
be of the universal heart of the
world.
Nursing as a profession is being
called by many names in this war.
Some call it a science, some an art,
some Il ministry. This is what one
thinks of it in the wards of
the grands blesses-the severely
wounded:
There is one nurse, a French
woman, much too busy and over
worked to know that her name is
known through France, who has had
one of those sternest tasks of war,
the care of men blinded and mutt
lated. To have seen them-to have
seen her-to know even a little of
what she did is to have had ones S
spirit quickened by new visions.
This woman, and she is a young
woman. on the very first day that
she bathed them, and fed them
often having to invent strange means
for these so cruelty crippled used
to send her spirit of courage and
hope out to meet theirs. She did il
in a hundred ways. If their eyes
could see, there was a smile, or a
flower, or a piece of fruit, or a scrap
of lovely color, anything, anything
she could find or devise that was
different from the things they had
been through.
If their eyes could not see, but
their ears could hear, there was a
word, phrase of song, a sisterly or
motherly endearment-so quiet
oh, so quiet. Sometimes. there
couldn't be any response-sometime es
not for very many days when the
faintest -fluttering of spirit answered.
But the gallant soul of that nurse
began her ministry with the first
day, and with every service she gar
nered a little more knowledge of her
patient-some boy or man called on
to do something so infinitely harder
than to die.
And, as the days or weeks or
months passed, often she had learn
ed the name of jacques mother, or
sister or sweetheart, or, as so often
happened. if he had no one; or if
those he had had been lost or killed
in the invaded country. And all the
time she was learning too what his
trade had been before the war, and
what were the things he liked best
to do. She had a wonderful interest
in all her visitors and in any kind
of relief work they might be en-
gagged in. Again and again after
talking to them she found in them
the solution to jacques or Pierre's
problem of independence. One way
or another she would find a person
who through some other person
could secure some coveted informa-
ton. or railroad fare, or tools.
All this time she was replacing
hope where hopelessness had been.
And the spirit of her became part
of them. The visitor to her ward
saw men manned almost beyond de-
scription getting ready to take hold
of life.
In the most vital sense the nurse
is the representative of us at home,
who cannot go abroad to our men
when they are suffering. And so the
requirements of her. going, and the
figures concerning the number of
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-04-01

nurses needed for our men are con-
nected intimately with our own
lives.
Even though over 1000 American
Red Cross nurses are now on active
duty in military and naval hospitals
and in public health work at home
and abroad, thousands more will be
needed; over 10000 1t may be, for
our army alone. And the Surgeon
General of the Army has issued a
call to the American Red Cross for
5000 nurses before the 1st of June.
1t is world problem, and the
supply of properly qualified nurses
is limited one. We dare not pic
ture to ourselves a shortage of
trained nurses as our men are
brought from the battlefields. Then,
our hope is going to rest on the
nurse. If our men are to have
proper care it means that large num-
bers of nurses must be released from
hospitals and private duty. Yet it is
impossible for her to go if the sacri-
/ flee required of her is too great. And
she must be made to decide alone.
The public must help her by making
the conditions of her going as fair
as it is humanity possibly to make
them. 1t is not fair to hold her
| back; nor is it fair to give the ad-
vantage to the less patriotic nurse.
Young women in great numbers
are responding whole heartedly to
| the hospital needs by filling in the
ranks of the training schools. The
number of pupil nurses enrolling for
training this year increased twenty
| per cent. over the year before. Large
numbers of men and women who
depended on private duty nurses are
= now instead utilizing hospital ana
| visiting nurses and other agencies
where one nurse can care for several
patients. over $4,000 women have
! completed the Red Cross course of
| fifteen lessons in elem entary hy-
giene and home care of the sick,
which was established by the Red
| Cross to aid women in caring Tor
/ the minor illnesses in their own
| homes. College women are recruit
! ing students for the special courses
| in nurses training to be given at
Vassar and supported by the Ameri-
| can Red Cross this summer. Credit
will be given for this work in the
regular hospital training schools,
! thus shortening the period of train
| ing and Fastening the date of readi-
ness for active service at home and
abroad. Intercollegiate alumni from
keen interest in this significant eX-
! pertinent.
Throughout the country men and
women are seeing their share of the
responsibility in the nursing prob
lem, and are rising to meet it.
To those who remember hospital
wards at night, after the bravado
and brave jests of the day, when the
men, sick and wounded. are like
BOYS in trouble, when they call on
the nurse for the pillow to ease the
pain of the fracture, for help with
the letter home. for the promise
which gives peace to many passing
the uniform of the nurse will al
ways be a symbol of some woman's
vearning love fulfilled through her;
no Easter will ever pass without
gratitude and reverence for her high
service.

net guessing she is related to the
woman who sells in more business
like exchange.
The duplicity of deceiving the two
men about each other existence is
the merest trifle-we waive it aside.
Tut her lies. Well, what is deceit to
a supreme cheater who parcels out
her cold, unsympathetic nature at so
much a handshake?
An extreme case, you say? Yes, !
hope so, but a striking illustration
of the lesser cases that go on un-
tragically about us all the time.
The gir who wants attention from
men, who demands that they take
her out and spend money on her
who look for gifts. defends herself
like this: ut isn't fair that he
should come and wear out the parloi
furniture. He ought to do something
to show his appreciation of my So
ciety."
oh, you mercenary Mabel, has il
ever occurred to you that JOHNNIE
shows the most earnest appreciation
of your society by merely seeking
it? A girl who bores him, but to
whom he is indebted, he takes to
the movies; the girl he's perfectly
willing to share with the other fell
lows. he takes to a dance. but the
girl Johnnie honestly likes is the
girl with whom he can contentedly
spend a quiet evening at home.
Life is full of quiet evenings al

to be chummy enough to ENJOY them

Little Talks by

Before me lies a letter which /
hope applies only to one girl in ten
thousand-and which / fear applies
to one in a hundred. For that hum
dredth girl this little holding up the
mirror to the canker spot that will
b'acken her whole nature.
IF had a friend ror over a year.
While ] was away last summer she
met a man of fifty, twice her own
age. He fell madly in love with her
and began to take her to dinners and
luncheons and to lavish on her such
Sifts as evening gowns, expensive
sweater coats, silver bags with money
enclosed. perfumes, powders and 9TH
er lavish gifts
she never mentioned the other
man to me nor did she let him know
Of me. | returned accidentally and
We met. Two days later he disap-
peared and she has not heard from
him since. She broke the news of
his gifts to me gently-but gradually
] got the whole story. I'm only
earning $50 a week, but she wanted
me to give her a lavallier, set with
three small diamonds, for her Christ
mas gift. I could not, and gave her
$50 gift instead. Then she wrote
and told me not to try to see her for
the present but to save my money,
and when I felt could spend great

and she would take me back. !
know now that I am well rid of a
woman who would be an encum-
france, but the disappointment hurts.
The other man was honest, too. and
I feel sure he planned to marry her,
even a I did. ]. X"
Cold-blooded, mercenary. selfish. a
cheat--these are the titles that
spring to the lips in contemplating
the history of ]. KS friend. She
was more than that-she was guilty
of a high crime against herself-that
Of dwarfing her own soul.
When any girl measures her own
charms in terms of what they will
ruy for her and looks upon friend
ship as a means of obtaining lavish
gifts she is putting herself in the
ugliest classification into which
woman can fall.
OF course. the girl who let an in
fatuated old man pay for her clothes
and give her money never stood of
and took good. square, honest look
at herself. If she had done so, this
is what she must have seen: A mer-
cenary girl selling smile for pair
Of shoes, a friendly word for a new
hat, an hour of her society for an
evening gown--a creature selling
herself
Friendship and love give. When a
girl is capable of asking a man for
an expensive Christmas gift and of
telling him, callously, IF you haven't
any money you needn't come around"
she is just huckster. crying her
wares in the alley like the men who
drive around their little carts full
of red apples. But they are honor
able hucksters, trafficking in mer-
Chandise. She is selling her soul, and
