for nurses will be greater In the fut
ure. There are about 100000 nurses
practicing in the United States al
this time, and yet the demand for
competent nurses far exceeds the sup
ply. Wherever the new idea Of health
conservations Is being actively worked
out nurses will be needed. The pro
fession is SO broadened that the de
mand will increase steadily. Com
petent nurses will be needed not only
In homes and hospitals, but as work
ers on boards of health, In philan n
thropic societies, systems Of educa
tion, In factories, department stores
and rural districts. The scope of the
work is at present practically unlim.
tied, and the promise of really live
interesting and useful employment is
assured to all who are personally
qualified and who fit themselves ade
quately for 1t.
1.-The war has greatly stimulated
the interest In the work. The work
OF the nurse almost equals that CT
the man who actually fought the
battle. She exposed herself to the
same dangers. The place of the nurse
will always be placed at the top OF
the phtlanthropic professions.
Although the remuneration at the
time of the training Is small the cost
OF the training is almost nothing to
the girl or woman taking 1t and after
she has finished her course and Is
ready to take up her work she can
demand large salary"

Best That Could Be Made
Under Circumstances" Say
Richmond Labor Leaders

The awards made by the War Labor
Board In the Richmond Labor case, in
volving disputes between the employ
es and employers OF Richmond, which
were handed down Wednesday, were
the best that could be made under the
circumstances is the opinion OF many
prominent local labor leaders. Lucius
Harrison, secretary Of the Central La
Dor Council, said Wednesday that he
believed the War Labor Board has
solved the problem In the best posi-
Bile way. "Since the board cannot en-
force its recommendations" said he,
this was the best that could be done.
Il believe that it will be an easy
matter to enforce the recommends
lions Of the War Labor Board because
already, with perhaps one or two ex-
ceptions, increases in wages have
been given through the efforts OF or
ganized labor, and shop committees
have been recognized in some in
stances
II am very optimistic about the
findings in the Richmond case.
think the awards, in the main, what
might be expected at this time. II we
were still in war and the case had
been taken up when we were still at
war, should have expected them to
be entirely different. The recommen-
dations confirm the principles laid
down by organized labor. In that we
have succeeded to a great deal.
Equal pay for women, collective bar
gaining, recognition Of shop commit
tees, and back pay for discharged en-
ployeeS are some Of the things we
have sought and are recommended in
the awards.
1.-THE eight-hour day was not recon-
mended, but the board did recommend
that the shop committees and the en-
ployers get together on this question
and arrange something that would be
satisfactory to both. If the board had

two to get together any way.

whole thing and feel that labor has
been benefited. The majority of labor
leaders feel this was the best that
could be done under the circum-

Many local labor leaders stated
Wednesday that the nature OF the
awards were just about what they ex-
pected.

House Shortage Causes
G. o. P. Committee Delay

Upon the house shortage in Indian
apolis depends the next meeting OF
the Republican committee, which will
select county chairman.
Lewis Bowman, present county
chairman, has been searching for a
house in the crowded capital, and as
soon as he finds one, will move his
family to that city. He would have
moved before now, If able to find a
house, said members of the family
Thursday.
AS soon as Bowman leaves the
county, he will resign as county chair
man, and the committee must be
called together to select a new one.
Karl Meyers and Frank Strayer, who
announced his candidacy some days
ago, are so far the only candidates
for the place.

APPLICANTS FOR
NURSE TRAINING
SHOW DECREASE
Only Two Are Now on Wait
ing List at Reid Memorial
Hospital.

A notable decrease in applications
for training at Reid Memorial hospital
within the last year is reported by
hospital authorities. At this time
there are % nurses taking training
with only two on the waiting list. This
is unusual because there are usually
great number waiting to be accept
ed According to authentic reports
this seems to be true in hospitals all
over the country. Just why such a
condition should exist at this time is
not known. Many girls who would
have gone into hospitals for the three
year course took up the Reserve
Nurses work which was taken In gov
eminent hospitals.
when 1t Is considered that the
nursing profession became so impor-
tant during the war 1t is strange that
SO few girls are taking 1t up now"
said hospital official. There prob
ably never was a time when so many
young women were so sincerely eager
to make their life work count for
something worth while. Since the
place of the woman in the world has
been raised during the war the
thoughtful girl or woman is not sat
isfied any more with simply an easy
job. 1t Is true that she wants some
thing that will make money for her,
but she also wants something that
will stir her interests, that will de-
velop her latent ability, and will give
her chance to contribute something
to the real work of the world. The
opportunities for public and personal
service which are opening up to the
qualified woman are almost unlimited.
Broad Scope Of Activities
There is no profession which Of
fers larger returns or greater pos
sibilities of service to the educated
woman as the nursing profession. The
profession is one Of the finest Of fine
arts. A woman who has completed
the three year course of nurses train
ing is qualified not only to nurse but
she is ready to take up work as sup
erintendent in hospital, public health
nursing, district of visiting nursing,
infant welfare work, social service and
welfare work, school nursing, army,
navy and Red Cross nursing, and work
in home and foreign mission fields.
In fact there are between twenty and
thirty lines of activity that are fairly
distinct, that a woman has to enter
after completing the course.

TRY TO END ARMS
SHIPMENTS FROM
EUROPE TO MEXICO

Washington. Nov. Efforts
are being made by the American
government to prevent the ship
ment Of large supplies Of arms aud
ammunition purchased in Europe
by the Mexican government.
One large order for munitions
was placed by Mexico with the
Fabrique Rationale d'Armes Of
Leige, Belgium. and it was learned
today at the state department that
the American charge at Brussels
had protested against shipment of
the arms on the ground that 1t
would be in violation of the inter-
national arms convention.
Orders also have been placed in
Spain but that country is not a
signatory to the arms convention.
According to information at the
state department most of the mu-
nitions orders were placed by Can
dido Aguilar. Mexican minister of
foreign affairs, who went to Eu-
rope recently on a special mission.
Arrangements for shipping the
arms out Of Belgium were made by
Mexico, it was said. Cargo space
was reserved on Holand-American
line steamers out of Antwerp with
shipments slated for Oct. 10 and
Dec. 3. for Tampico, Vera Cruz and
Puerto Mexico.
Practically no arms have been
shipped into Mexico from the Unit.
ed States since this country en-.
tered the world war. After the wal
ended. the Mexican government
sought permission to move wal
munitions ordered here before
1917, but this was refused and thu
state department adopted a pol
icy of a continued embargo OF
shipment of munitions to tha
country.

Iowans Consistent.

Davenport has played consistent
football throughout the season. One
thing which has won most of the
Iowan's games for them is their
Illinois shift. II Rock Island can

Rock Island will go into the
game stronger than any previous
time this season. Several new
plays and shifts will be sprung for
the first time. Milstead will start
ut fullback. Milstead was shifted
from tackle where he has played
for the past two years. to fullback.
Whenever yards are needed the ball
is given to him and he goes
through the line for never less
than FIVE yards. His huge weight
made it possible for him to make
big gains through, every teameplay-
ed SO far and 1t is not expected
that the Iowans can furnish
enough resistance to stop the big
boy.
Dunn at quarter is one Of the
stars of the locals. No one can
make a derogatory comment on
either his defensive or offensive
play. His excellent punting has
more than once put the ball out
of danger. In Olsen and e. Blank
