GALL FOR NURSES
Red Cross Recruiting Students to Meet
Shortage.

Latest reports from the Red Cross
Chapters the country over show that
trained nursing is going to be the pop
ular thing for girls and women; fol-
now, as never before, the trained nurse
is coming into her own.
1t has been estimated that the train.
ed nurse crop is very short-this came
to light during the influenza epidemic
last year-and it was this same cpl
demic which showed clearly that the
Public Health Nurse was an absolute
necessity in eveyy community.
Cities throughout the United States
have set the example There is not one
city of respectable size in the United
States which has not secured the serv-
ices of public health nurse, or is not
planning to secure one. In many cases,
of course, a whole flock of nurses Is
necessary.
Plans are now being promulgated by
the Gulf Division, American Red Cross,
which will insure public health nurse
In every community, rural or semi
rural And the reason is not far to
seek:
Five hundred thousand lives lost in
the epidemic of "flu" last year; eight
hundred thousand men rejected from
service because of physical disabili.
ties; three cut of every ten babies
lost through lack of care. These are
a few of many health conditions re-
ventable through the services of the
public health nurse. Every Red Cross
chapter which furnishes its commu-
nifty a trained nurse makes epidemics
less likely, lowers the death rate. and
upbuilds the health of its citizens.
The community nurse is one of the
best agents for the protection of life
and health, say the Red Cross work
ers. The community nurse cares for
the sick, protects the well and teaches
the principle of good health to all, is
the reports from chapters having such
nurses.
The answer. then. is simple: Give
every community the nurse 1t needs.
This is exactly what the Red Cross In.
~%S ~ w. 40 q part vi It's Dcdce-Clmo
program. The Red Cross intends ia
go further: there will not only be A
public health nurse for every chapte-
but there will be classes in home nurs-
ing and dietetics in chapters and
branches. and encouragement to girls
to take training as nurses. This work
for womea-ft has been called WON
ans noblest work-will be recognized
as never before.
1t has been estimated that the
trained nurses of this country will be
doubled In number within the next
three years-and even then there will
not be enough. 1t is young woman's
best chance today.
Miss L. Agnes Daspit. director of
the Nursing Department, Gulf Dfyis.
lon, states that she has calls for three
times as many nurses as she is able to
supply; and she urges that all young
women qualified to do so, consider
taking nurses training at once.

Hard Questions to Parker and Sanders
In letter to the Shreveport
Times last week, Judge Don E.
Sorelle of Sabine parish. one of
its strongest citizens and staunch-
est democrats, after referring to
Gov. Peasants statement that
Mr.. Parker would, if elected.
break up the New Orleans ring,
has this to say:
Why did he not put in his
four years bursting the ''ring?"
Why should he admit that he
has done nothing along that line
during his incumbency? Why
cry wolf now and proclaim that
an ex-Republican can perform
the job? Why is it that he did
not finish the job before another
campaign and thus save us from
this old ghost of ring domination ? +!
The only conclusion is that ali II
this rant is to catch votes. Par
ker tried to defeat the Demo-
cracy four years ago. He now
has put on a Democratic coat and |
is parading as simon-pure, all
wool and a yard. wide Democrat. |
In other words he seems to claim
to be the orphan Democrat of
the state; all others are false
Democrats. In this he reminds
me of the fable of the skunk that
dressed himself up in a coon's
hide and went out to fool all the
animals of the forest The skunk
met a coon. The coon looked it
over and said: You look like a
coon; you have ears like a coon.
Then the coon used his olfactory
nerves, and exclaimed. But be-
fore the Lord you do not smell
like a coon" Parker can never
make the real Democracy of Lou
isiana believe in his Democracy"

REPUBLICANS
OPEN CAMPAIGN

Continued from First Page.l
will be as active from now until No
vember as though a big fight were
being waged by the Democrats. That
is the kind of a campaign to which
\ Great Rally
The big rally was held in the
large auditorium on the third floor
of the North Second street club
house, which had been beautifully
decorated with American flags, the
State standards and the banners of
the club. a big bunch of chrysan-
themums had place on the speak
ers' table and an orchestra played
at intervals during the evening.
Lieutenant Governor Z. E. Beidle-
man complimented the committee on
the beauty of the room and recalled
memories of other days when he
mentioned the names of old Repub-
lican warriors, many of them long
since dead whose pictures, as presi-
dent of the club, occupied places on
the walls.
The city and county candidates, in
whose honor the reception was
given, occupied seats together at the
front of the haH and during the
meeting were introduced to the
members whom they stood and
faced, and later in the evening shook
hands with hundreds of voters who
promised them their support.
Ashton D. Peace, president of the
club, called the meeting to order and
after welcoming the members and
guests. introduced Charles Z. Pass,
prothonotary, and one of the most
active Republicans in the county,
who presided during the remainder
of the rally.
The first speaker was Emerson
Collins, deputy Attorney General,
who is one of the most eloquent
lawyers at the bar of Pennsylvania
and general favorite with Harris
burg Republicans. Mr.. Collins made
special trip here from Williams
port to accept the invitation to
speak. He complimented the Dau-
phin county Republicans on the
quality of their leadership, praising
w. Harry Baker and Lieutenant Gov
ernor Beidleman and saying that
they are recognized as two of the
staunchest Republicans and wisest
leaders in the service of the State.
He told his audience that on the
results of the November elections
depend the results of next years
election, that eternal vigilance and
hard work are the price of victory
and that they ought to make just as
much effort for the ticket this fall
as though the ticket were in danger
of defeat.
Mr.. Collins spoke seriously of Gov
ernor Sproul as the possible stand
ard-bearer of the Republican party
in the nation contests next year, and
Deputy Attorney General William I.
Swoope, who also made a brilliant
address, referred to the Governor in
the same vein, saying that his name
is being heard in every presidential
discussion.
Both Mr.. Collins and Mr.. Swoope
talked at length on the necessity of
a change of administration at Wash
ington and of the duty of Repub-
