John M. Hammsrly. of the Chauf-

forcement of the curbing regulation

Mr.. Maltby declared that the licenSe

to the fact that usually more than
that number of cars were operating

He declared that a continuation of
the present low salaries paid the
teachers would load the schools up

money to hire better teachers. The
result is that they will be settled on

DR.. NELL said that the inadeQuacy
Of the teaching corps had become a
matter OF jest amonsshigh school pu-
pills. and he cited a number OF in
stances to show the "disgraceful con
ditions" that existed with reference
to the lack Of substitute teachers.
Mrs. Margarita Spalding Gerry made
a brief statement to the board in
which she declared that DR.. John
Van Schaick Endorsed her note for
$500 early in 1917. She pointed to
the fact that she had voted in favor
Of Superintendent Thurston in 1917
as evidence that she had not been in

to discredit DR.. Van Schaick in the
community" she said. Nevertheless.

Mr.. Thurston at that time"
Note Long Since Paid.
She declared the note had long since
been paid off and the mortgage on her
home was held by the Washington
Loan and Trust Company. She said
DR.. Van Schaick had nothing to do
with 1t.
"Dr. Shipman, who made the state
ment in a public meeting that DR.. Van
Schaick held a mortgage on my
home she said, "has not been man
enough to withdraw the charge, but
now retires to the safe position Of
slandering all three women members

REDCROSS FORMS
NEW NURSING UNIT
Ladies of Service" Will Be
Uniformed Corps to Assist
Those In Need.

Ladies of Service" a new uniform
corps, Is being organized in WASH :
ington by the American Red Cross at
headquarters to relieve the nurse
shortage here.
Depletion of the nursing corps
following the war has made such an
organization necessary, 1t was said
today. Then scores of nurses have
been detailed from America on reha-
Utilization duty in France. Belgium.
and the far Eastern countries, leav-
ing a shortage in this country for any
emergencies that might arise. Nurses
are needed to night the epidemics.
The appeal for member ship in the
Ladies' of Service" has been made al
most entirely to the woman OF leisure,
the society woman, and the philan-
thropist, the social welfare worker.
They will be asked, under the duties
prescribed for the new corps, to 80
into the homes of the poor and SICK
and care for them. cook for them. and
do all in their power to make them
comfortable. One day a week has
been prescribed for the minimum
service.
They will be told to assist the. baby
welfare centers In caring Tor baoies
whose mothers must leave them at
such places during the day while they
work. They will cooperate with
other organizations. such as accom-.
panying a nurse, who is. a member OF
the Visiting Nurse Organization, In
the capacity of a nurses aid.
Mrs. Seaton Schroeder. wife OF the
Admiral Schroeder. has already en-
listed as a Lady of Service"
There are qualifications. Any
member receiving pay or other re-
munerations shall Immediately be-
come disqualified and thereby forfeit
her badge, certificate, and uniform.
A member shall have taken the Red
Cross course in home hygiene and
care of the sick. and dietetics.' A
course in frst-aid is recommended
Members shall be over twenty. APP
pointments will be made from the
chairman of the committee on nurs-
ing activities.
In this way the American Red Cross
hopes to relieve the shortage OF
nurses in America, and at the same
time provide some sort of social well
fare work for the woman Of leisure.

AS MISS SPRING
APPROACHES

Now, just as spring fever hits
the town and red biooded young
America is tempted to play
hockey" comes Miss Pauline
Goldmark, OF the National Con-
sumers' League. with the sug-
gestion that a "truancy bureau"
be established in Washington as
an effective antidote.
Miss Goldmark believes a
"truancy bureau" 10 needed In
Washington. She has investi-
gated the attendance OF Wash-
ington school boys and girls, and
finds that out OF a total OF $4,000
children in the elementary grades,
10000 do not attend school reyu-
larly.
This Is a deplorable condition."
she said. MANY mothers believe
their children are in school, while
they roam the stpeeta They
not only cheat themselves of an
education, but acquire bad habits
that stick to them through life.
A truancy bureau. with penalties,
would effectively put an end to
so-called playing hockey"
Miss Goldmark has long been
an interested worker for the es-
adjustment of an eiEht-hour
child labor law for the District,
such as the one now pending be-
fore Congress.
