Congress Restores
Citizenship to
Wife of German
Little Debate on Bill,
Though Texan Thinks
Girls Ought to Pay for
Marrying Foreigners

4 lIlZENSHlP was restored to
Y Frances Scoville- Mumm, Of
Kansas, the American wife
Of German citizen, through an act
Of Congress a few days ago. Mrs.
Mumm will now sue the French gov
eminent to recover personal prop
erty belonging to her which it is
holding because Of her German citi-
zenship. Mrs. Mumm is separated
from her husband and has divorce
suit pending in Berlin. Even if this
is denied, according to Representa-
tive Campbell, of Kansas, the action
Of Congress in giving her citizenship
will not be affected.
The debate in the House on the
resolution offered by Mr.. Campbell
in behalf Of Mrs. Mumm did not con-
sumo the full forty minutes granted
for discussion. During the debate
on the resolution Representative
Gard, Of Ohio, declared that the
State Department had ruled that the
granting Of divorce to the Ameri-
can wife of foreign husband re-
stored that wife to her native citi-
zenship. 1t was pointed out that
Mrs. Mumm has only a decree of
separation, and that it was on the
advice of her attorneys in Paris that
she sought to have her citizenship in
the United States restored. The fol-
lowing is the joint resolution passed
by Congress giving Mrs. Mumm her
citizenship:
Whereas, Frances Scovile- Mumm,
daughter Of C. c. K. Scoville, a citi-
zen of the United States residing in
the State of Kansas, being a native
born citizen of the United States,
married in 1913 Walter Mumm, an
alien of German birth and parent
age, but at the time of and for many
years prior to said marriage a resi-
dent of France; and
Whereas, The said Frances Sco-
ville-Mumm has since returned to
the United States and renewed her
residence therein and petitioned
Congress to be readmitted to the
character and privileges of a citizen
of the United States under and by
virtue of the power and laws Of the
United States of America:
Therefore, Resolved, ETC., That
Frances Scoville- Mumm, daughter of
the said c. c. X. Scoville, be and
she is hereby, on her own applica-
ton, Internationally readmitted to
the character and privileges of q
citizen of the United States.
In the House debate Mr.. Gold
fogle, of New York, raised the issue
that as long as Mrs. Mumm had re-
sided abroad continuously for more
than five years she would have lost
her citizenship under the laws passed
by Congress, some years ago, that
would take away her rights because
of this residence if she were a
naturalized citizen. Mr. Campbell
rebutted this with a citation Of the
law which obligates all American
woman to assume the citizenship of
her husband, whatever it may be.
Representative Blanton, of Texas,
took the stand that American girls
making international marriages
should be made to suffer every pos
sible citizenship disability. His SEN
timent was greatly outvoted by his
House colleagues.

were taken IN and the following
schedule adopted:
Day Nurses Hours.
Six hours on duty on Sunday. 6
SIX hours on duty on week day when
afternoon off duty is given. $3.50. 6
Eight hours on duty on five remain
ing week days. 40
Night Nurses
Eight hours on duty each night III
p. m. to q. m.) Observation-Disclosures. SO
No nurse has whole day off, and
nurses on night duty work every
night in the week. But nurses are
like soldiers in their response to
orders, and they know, as soldiers
know, that the emergencies of their
profession cannot allow the holidays
and long periods of leisure that
butchers and bakers and candlesticA
makers have. Students are shifted
from night to day duty in rotation
as the care Of the patients allows.
The System
Works
Although the system at the
Presbyterian is still young, it was a
precocious infant, and soon grew
from an experiment into a full
fedged institution. In the first week
Of it's inauguration Miss Maxwell,
who scrutinized it closely, reported
that the nurses were finishing their
work promptly and well, and that
even in the difficult business of re-
adjustment to the new schedule there
was no confusion, no time lost or
tasks unfinished
The graduate staff Of the hospital,
by the way, works on q fifty-seven-
hour week basis, which is felt to be
the most expedient division Of time.

day, when the International Confer
ence of Women Physicians opened its
sessions to representatives from the
national organizations Of women.
The conference up to this last
week has been purely professional
1t is the belief of all the women doc
tors that the only way in which their
message can become effective is
through the cooperation of the wom-
ems organizations of the country.
American women have competent
national organizations that may
furnish the machinery for doing
the work necessary to start the
physicians education along the
lines outlined by the women physi-
clans. Literally hundreds of thou

the two delegates from each Of the
following organizations:

The meeting Of these delegates
was called by the War Work Coun-
Gil of the Y. W. C. A. to study the
responsibility Of the women of vari-
Gus countries and states toward
health and social morality prob
lens. The conference has proved a
clearing house for forward looking
ideals Of physical, social and moral
health In countries represented by
the physicians attending the con-
ference.

Berlin Spending
It's Money Freely
BY CARL D. GROAT


Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Berlin, Aug. 1-(By maiD-A sort
of "devilmay-care" spirit pervades
Berlin.
1t undoubtedly arises from the let
down after four years of war. And
it manifests itself in wild pursuit
of pleasure. Champaign and gamb.
ling are the main objects upon which
pleasure-craving Berlin directs it's at
tention, seeking surcease from the
past
Berlin may lack for food, but it
doesn't lack for amusements A vast
class of rich folks are going through
their money with a surprising rapid
ity, while many persons of more mod
crate means have caught the infec
tion and are cutting into savings of a
lifetime to satisfy the almost univer.
sal desire for pleasure.
Even the reds" who are supposed
to be very poverty stricken, have a
trace of the spirit, as was instanced
recently when a Spartacus party was
announced for one of the suburbs,
with the statement that there'd be
plenty to drink and much to eat In
short the circular stated practically,
that though the people we're. poor
they were going to spend what they
had with a lavishness and abandon.
There was TO be food such as a ra.
toned people we're not supposed to
be able to obtain, and there was to
be drink galore, and the guests we're
to stay as long as they saw fit.
As result of this spirit, the city
is fairly alive with cafes anu dance
