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

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and its 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 1t has as
signed more than 1000 nurses in the
last year.
1t will assist In establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
ganized hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses in home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands Of women who
have never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
was In Its infancy short while ago
has been put ahead at least a 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
now lOurlshes 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 a years
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, In educating the gem
eral public as to standards Of nursing
! education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. 1t will endeavOr to meet all
these needs as well as to continue the
! enrolment Of dletitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
j les, in developing nutritionaI clinics,
and In supplying dletitians for the
United States Public Health Service
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer to women and young girls the
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-
dalton for public health but in some
places has given impetus to the estab-
lishment Of hospitals and community
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
Of the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
NOyes, director of the department Of
nursing, ut is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to its respOn-
slbillty. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in a general cam
paign Of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
: of the medical profession as well as
the intelligent cooperation of the
people at large"

MEMORIAL DAY
AT MERIDIAN

Memorial services, held at Nerd
ian, that grand old historic Cumber-
land Presbyterian church in the 10Th
district organized in 1925, on last
Saturday, was an occasion of much
enjoyment.
Rev. R. H. Galley was master OF
ceremonies, and in fit and proper
manner introduced the speakers,
Judge Jos. E. Jones and RObt. Gal
limore. The talks of these gentle
men we're listened to with close at
tention by the crowded house, while
eager listeners stood at the doors
and windows. Judge Jones said he
is a Methodist by adoption, since
the C. P. organization in Dresden
is extinct, but a Cumberland Presby-
terian by nature. Appropriate
songs were rendered by some Of the
sweetest singers the county offards,
and, withal, it was a profitable day.
To the west of the church house is
the silent city of the dead, where
lay the remains Of many men promi-
nent in the affairs of Weakley coun-
ty, and this. too, had been beauti-
fully cleaned and put in order by
tender hands in loving memory of
departed ones
1t was our good fortune to enjoy
a splendid dinner with Mr.. and Mrs.
z. W. Grooms and Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Campbell, and this good din
ner makes us want to go back to
that section again and again.

A GIGANTIC SCHEME

Bills have been presented to both branches of the legislature looking to the removal of the State University from OK ford to Jackson. and making of the in- stitution what it's name would indicate a university in fact as well as name. The cost of such movement would be some tEing heavy, estimated at around s5,00o,- 009 to start on, but the state seems de- termined on spending a lot of money on permanent improvements, and the law makers, at least good many of them are heartily in favor of the measure. The city of Jackson has been asked if it will put up a half million to secure the uni versity, and gave prompt answer in the affirmative. Jackson will vote almost unanimously for $500,o00 bond issue in this cause, in event it is ever put before them. The advocates of the removal pro- ject state that the university now de- mands and needs many costly repairs, per manent improvements that must be made, so that while spending money it is well enough to put it where it will do the most good. Nothing may ever come or
 this big idea, but Jackson is heartily in favor of it and ready to do what is asked of her to secure it.

Doughboy q Poor Risk

If Uncle Sam in going into the insur- ance business for the late war had de- eided to make his premimum rates fon officers and enlisted men proportional to the chances of death for, the men he insured he probably would have put the infantryman in the same class as the private insurance companies ordinarily place divers or workers in nitroglycerin factories" says the Home Sector, the ex-soldiers magazine conducted by the former editorial council or the stars and Stripes.
 According to this publication: The
 actual casualties in the different
 branches of service. as shown by gov
 ernment statistics give proof that the
 doughboy and the dough looey-as well
 as practically all grades of infantry
 officers-were mighty poor risks from an insurance viewpoint. The figures show that for every thousand enlisted men in the infantry who reached France 46 fere killed in battle or died of wounds For infantry officers the per centage was higher--55 of each thou sand are put down as battle deaths Although no separate figures are giv- en- it is certain that second lieutenants suff cred far the heaviest casualties ir proportion to numbers "The casualty figures are convincins | evidence of the part taken by engineer l troops in combat operations. Ten engi- neer officers and six enlisted men died battle deaths out of each thousand en- gineers in the A. E. F. These percent | ages are higher than for the artillery | in which the proportional deaths pel | thousand were eight officers and si, | enlisted men, The tank. corps con I sidering it's relatively small fighting II time, had the rather high battle-death | rate of 1G officers and seven enlisted men per thousand"
