How the Work Is Divided
Between Men and Women

In the child welfare work there are
only women. In the census work there
are six women and thirty-four men. And
in the compulsory education division
there are no women at all.
Last July two examinations were held
"a mental and a physical test. The
women passed both--in fact, passed bet
ter than their male competitors in the
mental test. Of the first fifty to take
the examination, thirty-six were women

"Our ancient Hope and true

Where David's banner feaU."
--Hdtikvah.
By FLORENCE NORMILE

NURING the war 5000 Jewish chill
y dren daily sang Hatikvah, the
Song of Hope, in the Hebrew
schools Of New York. And almost daily
groups of volunteers for the Jewish
Legion in Palestine were seen leaving
here for the training camps of Canada
and England.
Back of the legionnaires stands an or
ganization formed by Jewish women and
similar in many respects to the Ameri-
can Red Cross. 1t is the Red Shield of
David-the "Red Mogen David"-with
national headquarters at 201 East
Broadway. 1t was organized nationally
at conference here last June, but
there were already strong centres in
New York, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and
Milwaukee at that time. These had
grown up spontaneously and were under
The leadership Of almost every Jewish
s'ganization. There are now eighty-six
stive chapters in all parts Of the coun-
~ and seven chapters in the Canadian
hsnch
The Red Shield of David is supported
BY membership dues, and so far large
Percentage of the funds has gone to pro-
vide financial and material aid to the
dependents of the legionnaires. The
iact that the men carry no insurance
causes the philanthropic burden to fall
more heavily on the organization. Social

ments were made, however, only men re-
ceived positions in the compulsory educa-
ton division.
The salary in the attendance officers

penses tcarfare. etc., and substantial
increases yearly.
There are at present no vacancies in
the child welfare work, very few in the
census, but appointments are contin-

in the balance, than a book full of regu-
lations that have never been seen.
The ranks asked for in the Lewis
Raker bill are
For superintendent rank of major.
For assistant superintendent, rank
of captain.
For director, rank of captain.
For chief nurse, rank of first
lieutenant.
For staff nurse, rank of second
lieutenant.
incidentally, it should be mentioned,
this bill is so framed that there would
never be any conflict with either medical
or line officers.
This idea of relative rank is not with
out precedent. The sword master at
West Point held the rank of captain in
our own army. Relative rank is the
system adopted by the Australian and
Canadian armies for their nurse corps.
How They Settled
II in Europe
In Continental armies the nursing has
always been in the hands of the religious
orders, putting the personnel in an un-
assailable position. In the British army
the nurses have recognized status.
They receive the respect and obedience
as we'll as the courtesy due officers. Fur
thermore, they are CHARTERED and travel
as officers. That is the tradition of the
British army, and any one who has come
up against British tradition knows that
it transcends all laws. Australia Xnd

want the opportunity of doing this work
and drawing higher pay.
Some time ago women were included
IN this division, but broke down under
the strain of the work. Since that time,
they have been practically barred from
the division. The teachers claim that
they have now passed the physical tests
and should not be any longer barred
from this work because of the fact that
years ago few woYlen were not strong
enough to shoulder its responsibilities.

che knew that the needs of the gassed
men were urgent beyond the needs of
other casualties. She knew also that by
army regulations she had the authority

lacked was an outward and visible sign

M insignia that spelled authority to the
man her "boys," who were suffering,
uere deprived of the prompt relief that

II is to secure rank, title and insignia
for members of the Army Nurse Corps
that the Lewis Raker bill, now in COM
m;ttee. has been framed. The National
Committee on Rank for Nurses is sitting
10 nights and working overtime to pull
# out of committee and get it passed this
session of Congress.
This Means
Only Power-Not Money
The bill asks for relative rank only,
and not an absolute commission; nor
does it ask for the pay that commits
sion would carry. The title and insignia
Of rank will show so plainly that no SOL
der will question the nurses authority
to carry on her work efficiently and
promptly.
Those familiar with nursing conditions
in our war with Spain realize that this
is provision which should have been
established at that time. That would
have been preparedness"

Faces of Copper,
With Silver Plating

1t was a thing difficult of manu-
facture.
1t had to be light, yet strong, of
some composition which would not tar
nish, and which would retain the color
placed upon it's exterior surface. After
much experimentation, Mrs. Laid hit
upon thin copper as the material to be
used. Then she decided to have the
base plated with silver to give it better
finish

A Life Dream Realized

Miss Rheda Palmer, of Ontario Coun-

was at Seneca Falls, N. Y, on July 10,
1848, cast her first ballot November 5,
1918, at the ripe age of 1O2 years. 1t

but while wounds are slowly healing and
new flesh is being grated over gaping
holes, the "m1attiIes" can face the world
with a smile from behind one of Mrs.
Ladd's masks.
His Face Is Made
To Look Like Him
The masks are made Of thinly rolled
copper, silvered over, and painted in
flesh colors. They are modelled from
photographs of the maetales pre-war
face, and are held in place by spectacle
bows over the ears.
Captain Derwent Wood, an English
sculptor, conceived the idea of making
masks for men who were disfgured by
their facial scars. Mrs. Ladd perfected
this idea until masks were made which
replace the torn and missing tissue so
naturally that the man without face
is equipped with a substitute that is al
most as good.
The original conception of Captain
Wood was to make a mask to fit those
portions of the face that were missing.

is said that to live long enough to see
the ballot granted to women and to
exercise the privilege herself has been
the dream Of her life.
A special conveyance and attendants
were sent to conduct her to the polls,

On her arrival she marked her ballot

tendency Of the sex to go in for aca-

HOW THIS LOAN DIFFERS
Secretary Glass Compares Victory
Issue With Preceding Liberty
Bonds,

Since the announcement by Garter
Glass. Secretary of the Treasury, that
the Victory Liberty Loan issue would
consist of Victory Notes instead of
Liberty Bonds, the question has been
asked, VIVA is the difference be-
tween the bonds and the notes?"
The answe is simple: There is vir-
tually no difference. \ Liberty Bond
is the Governments long term promise
to pay. The Victory Note is the Gov
ernment's short-term promise to pay.
In other words, where a bond ma
not mature for a period of ten or
more years, the note must mature
within a period of five years at the
most. 2
The security in both cases is the
san.e-the entire OF the
United States back them both.
AS to the terms Of the Forthcoming
Victory Liberty Loan, no comparison
may be made with the Liberty Bond
issues because the announcement as
to terms will not be made, according
to Secretary Glass. until a few days
before the campaign begins.
The notes are more advantageous
than the bonds, as can be seen by
even the veriest tyro in finance, owing
to the fact that their shorter term Of
maturity has a tendency to stabilize
their prices because purchasers are
more apt to hold them.

IN SPRING BASEBALL
90 YOU RECALL HOW THEY

THEN THEY BEGAN TO SLIP
Almost Every American Home Had
Player in Finals and They Are
Returning.

This is the time in the year when
the baseball phenomenon is widely
heralded. The training camps of the
ball teams never fail to set the fans
to ticking of some hitherto unknown
youngster who is a "Ty Cobb Ii" o.
another Christy Matthewson, Or tie

Walter Johnson and all the other

The dope I'll mighty good for a

pens. The phenom begins to slip.
Sometimes he finally makes a pretty
good ball PLAYER. but more often he
slides from bad to worse and finally
slides out Of the Big League and into
the "bushes." It always work in just
about the same old way. He was
human after all. He had his weak
nses, maybe more than one, and the
opposition found out about it, and then
the cad Of the finish was in sight.
1t worked out that way with the
Prussial gang and with the Hun out
fit. Do you recall how they smashed
liege and Namur? How they peck

L )ngwy and came rolling on west
ward over Bel. ium? How they came
on and On until it looked like the war
was as good as " and that civilian
ton was facing Death, and nothing
less?
In the end they blew up, these
mighty warriors, like a blush league"
phenom. They just quit, all in,
smashed up. And the Kaiser has gone
back to the hinterlands and that par
ticulac game, the most important ever
played in the shadow of the worlds
~grandstand, is eel and Germany lost.
And everywhere iii the world men are
glad that it is over. And now comes
the settlement. The bic league rules
need revision. The last four years
show that. The German gang need a
lot of penalizing. And the expenses
for the whole series must now be met.
Wherefore a great International
commission is held in Paris and the
world sets to wor to rebuild a lot of
teams. There are grievances, greater
than any the world has ever known,
that must be adjusted. And the Big
League conference irons them out.
The expenses? Our part Of them
must be met from the money Of the
people of the United States. And that
is part Of the wy Of the Victory Lib
efty Loan, the last that will be called.
And every time we think Of the way
that game might have ended thee is
a thrill Of JOY and Thanksgiving in
every American home. For every
American home almost had a player
in he finals of the big game, and we
are mighty glad that it is over and
that our players are coming back
again.

1t Is Good Business
to Subscribe to the
Victory Liberty Loan

TT is freely stated that the LIB
i ERTY LOAN should be hoated on a business
basis. It is contended that the rate of interest and
terms should be attractive to banks and investors
with idle funds.
We are assured that the terms of the Loan
will be attractive, but it matters not what the terms
are, there is not enough idle money available to
take up a loan of five or six billion dollars.
1t would be bad business for the banks to alb
sorb the Loan. It would be bad for the banks and
it would be bad for our community.
Good business demands that the banks keep :
their funds in such shape that they can loan money
to their customers when it is needed. If the banks
use their funds to purchase Liberty Bonds, their
ability to loan money to business men and farmers
is lessened. The question is shall the Banks loan
their money to Uncle Sam or to our people?
It our people buy the Bonds the hanks will lend
them the money they need to c~o~;plete the pay
rnents. This will not affect the ability of the banks
to take care of the loans to o,1r business men and
farmers, because the banks can rediscount the
notes given for Liberty Bonds and thus repienish
their funds.
It is good business for our people to subscribe
to the LIBERTY LOA and thus
keep the banks free to take care Of their regular
borrowers.
Ii business can get the money it needs, more
crops will be grown, more goods will be made,
more people will be employed.
For purely selfish business reasons our people
should subscribe to the VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN. For patriotic reasons, also, we should all
do our part. The money raised by the VICTORY
liberty LOAN will be largely used to pay for
bills already contracted in winning the war. We
must keep the credit of our Government unfair
nished. What American would refuse to do his
share in keeping bright the name of our glorious
country?
We are not cutters. Let's finish the lob as
only real : n1ericans know how.
