awarded to only one nurse OF ma
ton each year. Thus these six women
represent Americas high roll OF nurs-
Ing since the outbreak of the Great
War in 1914. The Florence Nightin-
gale medal was established in 1917.
It can be awarded "only to trained
nurses who may have especially dis
tinguished themselves by great and
exceptional devotion to the sick and
wounded in peace or war"
The Florence Nightingale medal is
we'll named. Florence Nightingale
(182O-191O) was the pioneer of trained
army nursing. She was an English
woman, born in Florence. She became
interested in nursing early and went
through courses of training in France
and Germany. She then made study
of hospital methods in Europe. She
became the friend of the ragged
schools and other similar institutions
of London.
Opportunity knocked at her door in
the Crimean war. In 1854 reports Of
the awful conditions surrounding the
wounded and sick reached London
and she sailed for Scutari with stair
of SO volunteer nurses. There she
toiled until the British troops left the
town in 1856. Her nightly round Of
the wards won for her from the sol
diers the title of Lady With the
Lamp" She not only nursed the sick
and wounded but started educational
classes and organized reading.
Fame rewarded her. Her country
made her a gift of S250,O0O With
this she founded training home fol-
nurses. Soon she became general
adviser of the civilized world in mat
ters of nursing and sanitary reform
Her example and influence brought
about the organization of the REQ
Cross society. She wrote "NOtes on
Hospitals" (1S59) and "Notes or
Nursing" (1S6O).
So the name of Florence Nightin
gale calls up a brave picture OF wo
manly devotion, made more valuable
nv trained skill. The records of th'
six American women hOnored with TIT

they are worthy recipients OF TIL!

nurses are:

TWO ARRESTS ARE
MADE BY DEPUTY

Deputy United States Marshal ].
d. Moore has been busy for the
past couple of days and two arrests
have resulted from his efforts, ae-
cording to reports from Fairmont
to U. S. District Attorney Walk
er's office. George Irish was ar
rested at Grant Town on a charge
of failing to make out his income
tax. While Irish made the sum OF
$4,000 during the past year working
in the mines there, he was exempt
from income tax because he was a
married man with eight children.
But Irish refused TO make out any
income return which is required of
any married man whose income is
over $4,000 a year. 1t was for this
failure TO make out the return that
his arrest was ordered. Irish
furnished bond to the amount of
$780, after a preliminary hearing
for his appearance at the Wheeling
term of the United States court.
John Kluse was arrested at Caro-
line mines by Deputy Moore on a
charge similar to that against
Irish, but was dismissed for want
OF evidence after a hearing.
