disease. One of these ways is to
insist that there be a sufficient
number of public health nurses in
the community.
If there is nurse in your COM
munity, do everything you can to
aid her in her work. If she needs
assistants, provide them for her.
Relieve her Of clerical duties which
woman without a nurses train
ing can perform. See that she re-
ceives an adequate salary, so that
she may maintain her own health.
Give her in her community a recog-
milton and prestige that will make
1t possible for her to do her best
work.
Arrange meetings before Parent
Teachers Associations. the church
and social organizations, at which
the work of the public health nurse
will be explained and if possible
she herself speak.
If there are hospitals in your
community in which nurses are
trained. demand that they provide
courses in public health nursing
and in venereal disease work.
II il is necessary for women to
go away from your town to take
up public health nursing courses.
raise scholarship funds to enable
them to do this.
Remember that it requires a
nurses training to combat disease,
venereal as we'll as all others.
There is a large field for the So
cial worker, but she cannot take
the place of the nurse.

TRADE UNION GIRLS
Reject "UPLIFTERS'

Pay us a sufficient wage and
we won't need your cheap rooming
houses" is the answer Of trade I'M
ion girls to the attempt OF local
"uplifters' TO erect a girls home
in Des Moines, Iowa
These girls, members Of Retail
Clerks Association No. SO, have de-
clared themselves as follows:
I'VE, the Retail Clerks Associa-
ton, strongly oppose the girls ho-
tel, because it only humiliates girl
TO become a victim of charity in
any form.
If the employers will pay the
girls the salary they duly earn.
there will be no need for a cheap
rooming place. Pay each working
girl living salary; let her room
in a place suited to her tempera-
ment; she will then be more cheer
full and able to do much better work
for her firm. Room in the environ
ment Of a home, and the home in
fulence have a tendency to refine
and educate; while hotel life is
just the opposite

WOMEN THE BUYERS

The Union Labor Bulletin of
Newark. \. j., truly says: AS wo-
men are the buyers for their fami-
lies they are therefore the en-
plovers So if a woman demands
the union label on whatever goods
she buys. she forces the shop-keep-
er TO purchase union label goods
and employ union workmen. In
this way she prevents the horrors
OF the sweatsnop and child labor,
and benefits the situation for every
one concerned. 50 it is up to the
women 10 take these words TO heart
and act on them. thus following out
the Biblical maxim OF doing unto
others as they would be done by.

Commissioners yanDyke and

This sound trade union posi-
tion was opposed by President
Rice. He favored minimum
wage law and fixed between $500

said these figures were about
as small as teacher can live on

ON u. S. PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE

For the first time in its history
the United States Public Health
Service, during the recent war. or
ganized a division of public health
nursing. The work which these
nurses performed was of inestim-
able value. II is not too much to
say that without their aid our sue
cess in keeping down sickness in
the xtra-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 cam
paign for health, and this special
fight against venereal disease, we
depend upon the continued assist
ance Of public health nurses.
Behind these public health
nurses we hope 10 have the sym
pathetic understanding and support
of all the women of the country.
We believe that We will have this
when it is realized fully what the
nurse accomplishes for her COM
munity.
I'VE depend upon the women Of
the nation not only for under
standing and support but we de-
pend upon them to encourage
Young women to take up the pro-
fession of the public health nurse
and to insist that hospitals provide
training for nurses in public health
service, including work in veneer
cal diseases.
In backing the public health
nurse, the women of the nation
will be backing one Of the most vi
tai agents in the struggle against
the diseases which threaten the
health and prosperity of all of US.
and the very life Of our children,
which is the life OF our nation.

Many old customs aud tradit-
ions have left their trace on the
uniform OF American sailors OF
the present day, says the Fleet
Review. Tie wide, faring trou-
sers suggest a waste OF material
when seen on city street, but
they are really the most practical
shape for duty on shipboard. Be
cause Of the looseness they may
be rolled up snugly to the knees
when the sailor is holystoning
the decks, and the flare also pre-
vents them from biuding at the
knee when the bluejacket is re
quired to 90 aloIt. Another inn
portant adyantage.of the loose
ness is,shat, combined with the
arrangement Of the buttons on
lthe side, the trousers may be
easily slipped off in the water.
The ID buttons across the top
of the trousers are supposed to
represent the IL original states.
The black tie, prescribed by
reguiaaon for American bluejac-
kets, was handed down from the
British navy. Ii was worn by

If the people engaged in any

complaint, they are the school
teachers.
For years they have received
the smallest pay of any profes-
son, considering the amount of
training md ability required and
the responsibility entrusted to
them. The war has boosted pri-
ces to nnheard Of levels,s but the

For years the teaching profes-
sion has suffered from the fact
that those who were most capable
could not afford to refuse the
greater remuneration and oppor.
tunities fsred in other lines Of
work, as a result, teaching has
become too largely stepping

Under present conditions when
there is 81 great demand for all

scaliy every activity and when
good pay is being offered to OBJ
tain labor, 1T II, certain that
teaching will prove less attrac-
tive than in the past. The lnev
liable result viii be that the
teaching force wlll be filed with
less capable teachers unless the
remuneratlon is made commen

The people who really suffer
are nor the teachers but the
children Whena school board

Lexington Races Begin Soon


The racing season in Kentucky for
1919 will be inaugurated at Lexington
Thursday, April "a, and during the 10
days meeting at the historic Kentucky
Association track, now the property
of the recently organized Kentucky
Jockey Club, 81 races will be decided.
OF these 81 races, six are stakes and a
number of high class overnight ham
dicaps. One of the stakes, the Blue
Grass, is for three-year-olds at one
mile and an eighth, and is in the ma
ture Of a preliminary for the Kentuc-
ky Derby. It will be run on Satur-
day, May Bird, the week before the
Kentucky Derby, and to it the two
great stars and Billy Kelly
ARE eligible. It will afford the op-
portunity for the first meeting of
these rivals as three-year-olds. Then
there is the Camden Handicap, always
a highly interesting race; the Ash
land Oaks, for three-year-old FLIES;
the Ben Ali Handicap; the Hinata
Stakes for two-year-old fillies and the
Idle Hour Stakes for two-year-old
colts and geldings. The horses that
will contest at Lexington this year
are among the best in the land and the
racing in prospect is of higher order
than heretofore, for under the new
ownership, which is now entirely
Kentuckan, the purses are to be larg-
er than ever before. In word, it is
to be the greatest racing year.
