HAVING PART OF
DISTILLERY NOT
OFFENSE IN GA.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 5.-That
the pot of distilIery and two bar
rels of "mobby," which is another
name for mash" do not in them
selves constitute a complete appara-
tus for the manufacture of whisky,
and that possession of the same is
not a violation of the Georgia prohi-
bition law, is a decision which has
lust been rendered by the Georgia
court Of appeals in the case of Davis
versus the state, from Glascock su-
perioT court.
Officers of the law raided Davis
premises and found the pot of dis
tillerv and two barrels of ''mobby," "
but they did not find the cap of the
not, nor the worm, nor the condenser.
Davis was convicted under the Geor-
gia prohibition law of having in his
possession apparatus for the manu-
facture of whisky, which is a felony.
His attorney appealed on the ground
that the pot and the "mobby" did not
constitute a complete outfit.
In a very interesting decision,
written by Judge Roscoe Luke, and
concurred in by the other judges, the
state court of appeals upholds this
contention.

Regular Libraries
Loaned Women Workers

Most of the women who have gone
into the field as librarians were loaned by
city libraries for period of six months,
their salaries continuing while they were
in war service. The stats at camps in
this country have consequently been
changing constantly.
During the war fifty tons ship space
a month was granted for carrying books
on the recommendaeion Of General Per-
shing One-tifth of this was for maya
zines. The number of books sent over
seas up to March. 1919. was 2,25O,000.
More than 100000 gift books were
distributed during the war. One Of the
important parts of the librarians war
work was the selection of books that the
soldiers would want from the number of
gifts Many contributors used no judy
ment at all in their giving They chose
the volumes from their libraries that
they themselves did not want, without
consideration of whether they might
suit the taste of soldier.

refuse to volunteer again unless present

This statement is made by Miss Ella
Phillips Crandall, of New York. who is
IN Washington to close the work of the
committees on nursing of the Council of
National Defence, Of which she has been
secretary-treasurer throughout the war.
According to Miss Crandall. who has
recruited thousands Of applicants for
the United States student nurse reserve
the army nurses, while happy to have
served our soldiers, are bitterly resent
full Of the governments treatment OF
them. In one Of the papers they are
asked to sign when they leave the ser
vice they are asked whether they would
accept war service if needed, and if not
TO give their reasons. Many nurses are
answering, "Not unless rank is given to
nurses Only in case nurses receive
rank, "Only on condition that rank il
conferred on nurses in order that thew
may be respected and their authority
obeyed."
Our nurses have functioned as off
GERS said Miss Crandall. but they have
been without an officers authority to
enforce their orders. Their position has
hampered their efficiency and Inundated
them personally.
We have been told by one nurse OF
half dozen night orderlies who went
on strike and complained to the com
handing officer because she insisted or
their performance of their night tasks
when they preferred to sleep and let the
patients 90 unattended.
In some cases army surgeons ignored
the nurses TO the extent of issuing their
orders about patients to the orderlies in
steadAof to the nurses, and at least one
commanding officer instructed his medi-
cal officers to have no association with
nurses, since such association would
mean loss Of caste for the doctors.
The trained nurses of this whole
country have been reused by the stories
they have heard, and in every state are
organizing committees to demand rank
at the extra session of Congress. They
are all cooperating with the National
Committee on Rank at Washington, of
which former President Taft is honorary
chairman, and will continue the efforts
already made to pass the Lewis-Raker
