THE PUBLIC HEALTH NURSE
Submitted by the U. S. Public Health
Service

For the first time in it's history the
United States Public Health Service
during the recent war, organized a
division of public health nursing. The
work which these nurses performed
was of inestimable value. 1t is not
too much to say that without their
aid our success in keeping down sick
ness in the extra-cantonment zones
and in making the venereal disease
rate in our army lower than that of
any other army in modern times
could not have been achieved.
In continuing our general campaign
for health, and this special fight
against venereal disease, we depend

 Announcement was made that several senators favoring the tabling motion were paried and unable to vote, while Senator Mclean, republican of Connecti- cut voted against tabling the amend ment. but withdrew his vote because paired.
 Speaking in support of his amendment Senator Phelan declared that as the war virtually was at an end and demobiliza- ton practically completed, Congress had no reasonable excuse for infringing on the rights of the states to determine whether or not they should permit the sale of light wines and beers
 For Congress to intervene in this mat ter" the senator declared. lis a direct violation of constitutional rights
 Those who can afford it, MT. Phelan added, have stored up wines to last them for a life time, but the poor man is unable to do this
 This constitutional prohibition amend ment, which becomes effective next Jan uary, makes more reasonable the request that the wartime prohibition be discon- tnued It is the general concurrence of sentiment of the people for repeal. and the President has requested it's repeal.''
 Grape growers and hop raisers, Sena- tor Phelan said, had been encouraged by the government, and if the war time pro- visions against beer and wine were raised he said, they might in small part recoup losses from constitutional prohi- btion by selling this years crops of grapes and hops.

MANY DEALERS APPLY FOR ANNUAL
 LIQUOR LICENSES
Rx A.,oniatnd Prs.

New York. June M-Thousands oi liquor dealers applied today for the an nnai federal license. permitting the sale of alcoholic beverages for one year from July 1. Under instructions from Daniel C.. Roper, commissioner of internal rev enue, these licenses will be granted at the purchasers risk and this circum- stance has raised hopes among the deal CTS that the day of national bone-dry- ness is not as near as they feared.
 The position taken by the liquor deal CTS as expressed by some of their lead CTS is that demobilization will be de- ciared completed by President Wilson in August at the latest. and that there fore they will have at least four months grace before the constitutional prohibit tion amendment becomes effective in January.

in the Senate late today

NsNA NCS~ SANAs
 By that margin the Senate tabled a mo- ton by Senator Phelan, democrat, of California, to add a rider to the agricul- tural bill for application of the wartime prohibition law to distilled spirits alone The sentiment of the Senate thus ex- pressed in the first test vote of this Con- gress was believed generally to sound the death knell for measures designed to permit use of beer and wines under the wartime legislation.
 A tack was taken in the house, how ever, by advocates of suspension of the wartime prohibition laws provisions, in so far as they affect beer and wines. The House judiciary committee received and agreed to vote next Saturday on an amendment by Representative Card, democrat of Ohio, to prohibition enforce ment legislation which would authorize the President to suspend the wartime ban on beer and wines. Rejection of the amendment by the committee gener- ally was predicted. The committee also decided to recommend enforcement of prohibition by the internal revenue com missioner and not by a special prohihi ton commissioner
 Disposition by the Senate of the Phe- Ian proposal came after little discussion, except by MT. Phelan, and none by advo- cates of prohibition. The California senator urged that the Senates rules against legislative riders on appropria- ton bills be set aside to make his rider in order. As such a motion required a two-thirds majority, Senator Gronna, re- publican, of North Dakota, declared that interminable debate would be entailed and moved to table Senator Phelans mo- ton to shutting off further discussion.
