Wages must come down II prices
are to be reduced" declares an east
ern bank in its financial letter. Per-
haps the bank would come nearer the
truth if it would reverse the PROPOSE
ton and make it read prices must
come down before wages can or will
be reduced. While labor remains
scarce wages will remain high. When
labor becomes plentiful production will
increase and prices will be forced
down. Wages will follow in time. A
factor in the readjustmept of prices
which cannot be overlooked is the tide
of immigration that has set in. The
department of labor announces that
5.OeR immigrants are now coming in

that 500. O00 immigrants arrived in the

The Touch Of Nature.-2

Now 1 am no tightwad, neither are
any of my friends" continued the
young man. I'VE like to spend money
in giving girls pleasure, but we don't
| like to feel that we are being held up.
Neither do we like to spend more than
we can afford, for We all want to get
on in the world, and we are perfectly
aware that to rise an inch above where
We are, we must save money. As a
matter of simple fact, we cannot even
hope to marry and set up a home for
any woman IL we waste all that we
make as we go along on feeding graft
ling young women on chocolate creams
and joyriding them around in gasoline
chariots.
Hence our gratitude to the business
girls who are willing to go about with
us and enjoy simple pleasures, and not
make the cost of feminine society pro-
hibitive as the stay-at-home girls so
often do.
81 suppose the reason that the bust
ness girl is so much more merciful on
our pocketbook than the stay-at-home
girl is. is because she works for her
money just as we do, and knows how
I hard it comes, and how much sweat
and thought and anxiety goes into the
making of every dollar while the do
nestle girl is under the impression
that greenbacks grow on trees, and all
that a man has to do is to pull them
off
Its the touch of nature that makes
the sexes kin. You remember Dickens
says in one of his novels that no man
who reads ever looks at the back OF
book with the same expression as
does the man who cannot read.>
ITS the same way about money.
Nobody who has ever worked for a
dollar ever feels the same way about
it as do those who have meyer earned
one but have always had wSNat money
they needed given them. You have
to work for money to know that ii
means travail of body and mind, and
opportunity. and freedom, and self
control. and the ability to take pun
ishment, and a million other things
that the poor brainless idiot who
throws it away never sees in it.
"And that makes me wonder II the
new generation OF women who nearly
all are learning some way of making
money, won't make a hundred times
better wives than the old-fashioned
women who never had a cent except
what they cajoled out of their hus-
bands, and who carried their grating
to the petty larceny point where they
went thru their lords pockets as they
slumbered.
The woman who has made money
won't be extravagant. She has a
wholesome respect for a bank account
And she will be reasonable and see
why a man must save in the present
in order to be able to spend in the fu-
ture.
perhaps just understanding about
money, speaking the same financial
language, is going to do more than we
even dream of. to make husbands and
wives understand each other-and
that is the main thing in making a
happy home"

Attention is called by a financial
expert to the fact that what is termed
the market has defied every rule of
trading and every precedent of its his
tory within the last month. Europe
was on the verge of a war. It appar=
entity meant nothing to Wall Street.
A presidential campaign got under
way, but there was no reflection of it
on Wall Street. September-the
month of renewed activity in buying
approached yet Wall Street re-
manned apathetic. Tho railroads were
granted increases, which prior to two
years ago would have been considered
almost exorbitant. and Wall Street
merely opened its eyes and fell back
to sleep again. The reason probably
lies in feeling Of uncertainty regard
ing what will happen in connection
with the country's finances. Nobody
seems to know what the federal re-
serve board will do and it is in con-
troi. watchful waiting appears to be
the policy of Wall Street as we'll as of
the rest of the country. While defla-
ton is in progress, no other course
seems entirely safe. A falling market
nearly always lessons buying.

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourisiling in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and it's department
OF nursing is daily increasing this en-
rollment.
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs of the United States Public
Health Service to which it has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist in establishing proper
pursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
aygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
aave never received any education in
This direction. Rural nursing which
was in its infancy short while ago
aaS been put ahead at least q decade
through the work of the department
Of nursing and local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing has been ex-
tended TO many rural communities and
cow fOurishes actively in hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned TO this kind of work.
The department of Nursing is unit
ing with other organizations in years
campaign in recruiting nurses for
training schools, in educating the gen.
eral public as TO standards of nursing
education and in showing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. 1t will endeayor to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
enrolment of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
les, In developing nutritional clinics,
and in supplying dietitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue TO
opportunity of securing instruction in
home hygiene and care of the sick in
every community in the country. This
instruction has not only laid the foun-
dafion for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishlncnt of hospitals and community
school houses
GAS community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director of the department of
nursing, "it is logical that the COM
munity should he aroused to its respon-
sibiiity. The American Red Cross
stands ready ia help in a general cam
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as we'll as
