awarded to only one nurse of a 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 Nlghtin-
gale medal was established in 1912.
1t can be awarded "only to trained
nurses who may have especially dis
snguished themselves by great and
exceptional devotion to the sick and
wounded In peace or war"
The Florence Nightingale medal is
well named. Florence Nightingale
(1S2O-1910) was the pioneer of trained
army nursing. She was an English
waman, born in Florence. She became
Interested In nursing early and went
through courses of training In France
and Germany. She then made a 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 staff
of 30 volunteer nurses. There she
tolled 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 so50,0o0. With
this she founded training home for
nurses. Soon she became a general
adviser of the civilized world in mat
tiers Of nursing and sanitary reform.
Her example and influence brought
about the organization of the Red
Cross society. She wrote "Notes on
Hospitals" (1S59 and "Notes on
Nursing" (1s60).
So the name of Florence Nightin-
gale calls up brave picture of wo-
manly devotion, made more valuable
by trained skill. The records of the
six American women honored with the
Florence Nightingale medal show that
they are worthy recipients Of this
highly-prized decoration. The six
nurses are:
Helen Scott Hay, Washington, ID. C.
Florence Merriam Johnson, New
York City.
Martha NJ. Russell. Boulder, Colo.
Alma +. Forester, Chicago, nj.
Linda X. Meirs, Boston. Mass.
Mary z. Gladwin. New York City.
All six of these nurses saw service
abroad. Following is a condensed
record of their training and services:

Double Murder Followed

Curse Of Blood Pursues
Him to His Grave.

TAHLTQUAH, Okla. July 31.---
A.. Intelligence of the Killing on Sunday
evening OF Homer Wilson by his
wife, near Winfield, Kan, recalls
not only one OF the most spectacular
and cold -blooded double murders
committed in this section, but ALSO
the mysterious assassination OF
Charley West, the first husband OF
Mrs. Wilson.
In January, 1919. while william
end Frank Anthony. father and son.
were standing near the postoffice
here reading n letter, Homer Wilson
stepped out of the office OF the Sc
quoyah theatcr. where II transplred
he had been lettering the greater
part OF tho day. Ho fired upon Frank
. Anthony, who fell fatally wounded,
asod an instant later the elder An
ny was shot down, falling across
tSre body Of his sor. After the men
!. were down Wilson continued to fire
and literally filled their bodies with
bullet holes. He was soon after ar
rested by q policeman. Wilson wore
an overall suit, underneath which
was an army uniform. He stated that
ne did not wish to disgrace tho
uniform OF the United States, hence
the outer covering OF canvas.
Wilson'S reason for killing the An
thongs was that they. as he stated.
had been instrumental in breaking
up his home, that his wife had con-
fessed to intimacy with Frank An
thony. At his trial in March Of
1919, a good deal OF mawkish SEN
: timentaiity was evidenced on be-
half of some OF the attendants Mt
the trial, and although the prosecu-
ton was ably conducted. the verdict
ofyhe jury acquitted Wilson on one
ofthe murder charges. He was new
. er tried on the other. The evidence
would have been practically the
same and verdict OF acquittal
: would probably have been returned.
Wilson left Tahlequah the same
day he was acquitted and in a short
time II was learned that his wife
had joined him at Winfield. -, - @
time Of the trial the defendan,, IN
tears stated that he loved his wife

20 infatuation. but, according to the
dispatch announcing the killing, 1t
appears that the couple disagreed
as TO which should drive the auto
mobile In which they were riding
ana that Mrs. Wilson soon pressed
revolver to Wilson's side, fired. and
ended his career. Wilson had been
member of wild west show and
spent some time at Camp Funston,
nan IL was whila there that he
ii?st ascertnined, so ne stated, that
MS WIFE was untrue TO him.
In July, 1915, Charley west a
member of the board OF county COM
inissioners for Cherokee county. was
snot a~few hundred yards from his
homo In the north part OF Table
uuah. West rarely left home after
DARK. being afraid. IL has been said
OF enemies. He. however. with his
wife, walked to spring on the eve
ming he was shot. Returning the
couple reached a foot-bridge across
gully and West. just in front of
his wife, stepped upon the bridge
when a shot from the rear brought
him to the ground. lie was carried
TO his home and died at noon the
Following day. Despite all efforts TO
ascertain who the assassin was no
me was ever brought to trial for
the crime. At the time of the muir
der OF the Anthonys, though, II was
rumored that one Of them had
doubtless fired the fatal shot, but
there were many citizens who
thought otherwise. West was a man
OF considerable wealth and was said
to have had largo bank account
as well az owning many cattle and
other live stock. He also owned ex-
tensive farms and pasture land. and
only day or 80 prior to his fatal
wounding Is said TO have been in
duced by his wife to make a will In
her favor.
Homer Wilson, the second hus-
oand, was n tall and athletic man of
fine physique. AT his trial ,,e an

WINGED me it was more valuable than

ever my complexion begins to go

wax at the nearest drug store, spread

Improved Postal Service

The post office department has been under
severe criticism for many months. The attack
is not directed against the employees, but against
the mistaken theory of the postmaster general,
who has permitted the system to deteriorate in
ORDER as some critics allege, to make good fin
ancial showing.
In support of this contention they assert that
mail trains have been taken off in such large
numbers that it takes as long, if not longer to
move a letter from New York to Kansas City to-
day than it did many years ago. Cities along
branch railroads have been hit hard, because in
many instances only one mail train in either di-
rection is operated.
The indianapolis Star, editorially says that
the small pay of employees in the service is res
ponsibe for the breakdown. Others believe this
is only one of the many factors responsible The
Star says:
Those employed in the postal service have
been granted increases in pay in recent years.
but those have not been proportionate to the adj
vance in the cost of living nor have they kept
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-03-29

pace with the higher prices paid to workers in
industry. The result has been that the young
and desirable men who might be induced to enter
the service going into factories. Many who
had passed the civil service examination and TAX
en- places in the postoffices are leaving to get
more money elsewhere.
The result of that policy has been that the
postoffices of the country now manned by
old employees, many of whom should be on pen
sions and others of whom feel that they have
been too long in the government employment to
change, neither competent nor dependable. The
helpers who do take the examinations remain
only short while, as rule, and there is con-
slant procession of new men passing in and out
of the postoffices.
The news reports from Chicago few days
ago explained that college students are employed
20 work at odd times getting out the accumula-
ton of mail in that city. 1t is not generally
known that much mail collected in Chicago is
shipped to Indianapolis to be sorted and started
on it's way. Such are conditions in Chicago COM
pared with those in indianapolis, which are bad
enough. Detroit is said to be in worse condition
than Chicago even, all due to inability to get
enough competent help.
The problem is serious one and should not
be neglected. It's solution lies in making the post
al service sufficiently remuneratve to attract and
hold high-grade quality of helpers. A few
years ago mail carrier or clerk got better pay
than was received in the various industries. The
result was keen competition for places in the
service with corresponding benefit to the person
mel of the department. Similar conditions should
be restored in justice to the men in the service
and in the interest of the public dependent upon
the postoffce.

Farm Federation

The executive committee Of the Ho-
ward County Federation of Farmers,
meeting in Kokomo, Saturday, made a
final decision against county agent
and hired Aaron Dearborn, a promin-
ent farmer living near here, as bust
ness manager and purchasing agent
for the county federation.
The action was taken following the
reports of various townships, which
disclosed that practically all were op-
posed to the employment of county
agent. Committees representing Clay,
Erwin, Center and Howard Townships,
at a separate meeting, took definite
steps toward building farmers eleva-
tor in Kokomo.
