UNDER wATV-HFTL EYE
PROFESSIONAL NURSE

Who is the lady in the hole In the
wall?
At every Billy Sunday meeting q
mysterious lady sits In a mysterious
recess in the rear interior OF the audi
eorium. The audience rarely sees her
sitting there because they are too In
tent upon the word OF the great evan
gelist. but from the platform the lady
II seen every time an eye wanders
afield and looks underneat the bal
cony.
She IS Mrs. +. II. Wilson. the nurse
who watches over the health Of the
vast number OF people who come to
the auditorium daily. A number OF
doctors have tickets to every meeting.
and when they go In they report to
her, so IL she needs their services she
IAN call upon them to give medical
attnetion to anyone who gets sick
during the services.
Every day one or two and some
times a dozen are taken to Mrs VIII
son for treatment. Ladies' have the
habit Of fainting. especially at . re
vival. and they are all cared for al
the little hospital in the rear without
bit of commotion. so that few peo-
pie have ever heard Of the work OF
the nurse who 80 faithfully watches
over fhom.

NOT ANXIOUS TO HAVE
SUBMARINE 0UTLAWED

Washington. Feb. High naval
authorities here do not endorse the
proposition, credited TO Great Britain
in today's dispatches. that she is
anxious to have the submarine '.out-
lawed"
1t is not known here officially how
Admiral Benson. American naval
representative at the peace confer
ence. stands. but II he stands the
way his friends stand. the submarine
will not be strapped IL he can help
it. The general view here is the OBJ
vious one that IL the submarine were
outiawed. the nation which has now
the most powerful fleet would have
it's power raised to al almost I'M
limited degree. The, lesson of the
past war. 1t was pointed out today
by officers. is that great fleets other
wise powerful were kept in home
ports by the fear of submarines and
secret torpedo and mine warfare
The submarine. 1t was shown, could
not only fire its own torpedoes but
could strew mines along the enemy's
coast. as was especially done ON the
American Atlantic coast The sub
marine, il Is held here, is an Ameri-
can invention which was intended to
be used as a legitimate vessel or war,
and II Is not likely that the enormous
amount of money invested in them
shall be lost
The submarine Is, when fairly
used OF course. a powerful enemy to
big feet. and is a first class de-
fender Of the ports of third or fourth
class naval nations against possible
aggressions from the fleets of the
powers higher up. Arttation in favor
of the total elimination of the sub
marine as a vessel Of was Is based,
1t in supposed here, on the crimes
committed by the craft of the Ger
man nation. This nation has, how
ever. consistently held that use of
the submarine could be made sub
ject to the laws OF nations

president accepted this offer Of aid,
with the result that the knights have
been operating buildings in all the
military and naval camps throughout
the country and service stations in
the large cities. Abroad they have
over one thousand secretaries serving
the American expeditionary forces.
and each outgoing steamer carries
vast quantities of candy, tobacco and
athletic equipment and stationery
which are distributed free to the
men.
While in Richmond Mr.. Flaherty
will sound the keynote of the local
campaign for membership being in
auEurated by the Richmond knights.
The order plans to double it's MEM
bership of five hundred thousand
during the ensuing twelve months.
Over forty thousand knights were
actually engaged in the war and
thousands of the boys at the front
have expressed their desire to join
the knights after witnessing the or
ganizations work there. This ma
tion-wide campaign, being conducted
by each council In its own locality,
will give the returned boys an OPP
portunity to do so.
Mr.. Flaherty is the guest OF John
j. Blake, State Deputy of the Vir-
Einia Knights of Columbus. while IN
Richmond
Mr.. Flaherty last note made the
following statement regarding the
work and plans of the organization of
which he Is the head:
Mr.. F1ahcrty Interviewed.
The Knights of Columbus Is fra
ternal organization of Approximately
half million members. founded for
private benevolence and for public
service. The orders private bene-
violence takes the form of insurance
for members and its public service is
exemplitlcd In times of peace by edu-
caional and social movements, and
in time of war. by extensive and in
tenslve relief work for all men who
wear the uniform of our country.
Since its foundation. thirty six
years ago. the Knights OF Columbus,
as society. has accomplished much
substantial work, The knights have
aided scores OF educational institu-
tons throughout the country: they
have combated socialism and an
archy by sending competent lee
turers all over the continent: they
have relieved distress In every great
disaster like the San Francisco earth
quake and the Halifax explosion:
they have paid thousands OF insur-
ance claims and have the record of
being ranked as one OF the soundest
fraternal insurance organizations in
the United States.
In the Spanish war the
knights first started their war relief
work. This was done on large
scale, wholly at their own expense.
when our troops were at the Mexican
border: and in this great war, the
knights commenced their work with
their own fund OF over one million
dollars, later increased to three mil
lions, and. when the general public
realized the merits OF the work
swelled to fifteen and more millions

War Fund. the knights are spending

The reason why more men do not at

This condition. according to sunday,

it is for the church. The church can

GUARANTEE TO FARMERS
MUST Be MADE GOOD

Washington. Feb, 4.--Memberr of the
house agriculture committee. after tive
days OF hearingH are agreed on the
two fundamental principles In connec-
ton with the proposition to provide
legislation to carry out tho govern
ment'a guarantee of 37.1e n bushel for
the 1919 wheat crop. They arc:
THAT the guarantee TO the farm
err must DO made good.
THAT the consuming public Of tire
United States must be provided with
bread At q fair cost, based on the world
price OF wheat
The problem Of preparing . bin to
put these principles into effect In COM
plicated by indicated crop and market
conditions. Members OF the committee
and ali the witnesses who have testi-
fed to date have agreed that the wheat
fields of the United tSAtes this year
" III yield bumper crop. probably more
than Il billion bushels. which win mean
tremendous surplus that must be dis
posed OF to foreign countries. II is also
accepted as n fact that by reason of
the cheaper wheat from Argentina and
Australia becoming available through
the release OF shipping from war Ger
vice. the world price necessarily must
be much lower than the $3.50 guaran-
teed to tho American farmers.
