with the Westerly band.
 The Westerly Sanitary corps is plan ming for carnival and invited the fire companies to unite in a parade on the opening night and to aid in making the carnival a success.

There Is some misunderstanding, or something that is clearly understood but unsatisfactory, that has resulted in at least a temporary break in the mutual friendship that has existed for many years between the three companies com prising the Westerly fire department and the Westerly band. It has reached the point where the fire companies and the band will not participate in the same parade. Hence there is opportunity for committee of the influential Westerly Board of Trade, or an independent and unbiased citizens committee. to volunteer to bring about reconciliation. It is for the good of the community that these public and semi-public organizations dwell together in unity. The trouble that has been brewing for some time has finally reached the climax. The several fire com panies have taken separate action, at diff ferent times, to have no more business

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FIourishing 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 it 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
gained 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 fourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly a
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 endeavor 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
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.
CAS- 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-
gibility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help in 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"

LOCALS MET DEFEAT
FIRST Time SUNDAY
Hurley Turned the Trick by
Score of Ia to A When
Eagles Luck Failed.
Iron River Next.

After run of nine straight victo-
ries Eagle River suffered its first de-
feat of the season when it met Hur-
lev here last Sunday and lost to that
team by score of Ia to 4. Up to the
sixth INNING it was real ball game.
The locals scored three earned runs in
the second and held their opponents
scoreless until the sixth. Then they
went to pieces, massed bunch OF err
rors and wild throws that allowed
Hurley five scores in that inning be-
fore the side was retired. In the sew
enth and eighth they frightened up a
bit, two more runs being the total of
Hurley's effort in those frames. But
then came the fatal ninth. That in
ming was comedy of errors for the
locals. Ten miners came to bat and
seven scored, three runs coming In on
a lost ball that hid itself in a lumber
pile in the extreme left field. Eagle
managed to score once more in their
half of that inning and the game
ended IA to A, the first taste of defeat
the home team has experienced this
season.
Hurley didn't play exceptional ball.
The first five innings showed the two
teams to be pretty well matched with
the locals slight favorites. After that
there was nothing to it for Hurley.
The home team went up in the clouds
and there they stayed. Things hap
pened so fast, especially in the ninth.
that the score-keeper, not being a
shorthand artist, could not put them
all down.
But at that, the game wasn't with
out its good points. Bowker got a
beautiful three-bagger in the the
third, and Donald Morgan, a junior
who made his debut with the first
team Sunday, got clean two-bagger
on the first one that came his way.
And there were plenty of good hits
by the others. Schwab, the Hurley
twirler, pitched good game, but his
offerings were not at all unsolvable.
The locals found him many times,
which goes to show that the game
might have been different if Eagle.
hadn't lost it's feet. Frankel pitched
into the eighth and then was relieved
by Kuehne, but their work was below
form and the bottom dropped out OF
their support in the latter half OF the
game which explains the whole story.
Hurley has good team, but the
brand of ball the locals have been
playing all season up until last Sun
day, would have taken care of them
nicely at any other time. But why
worryp The game was won by the
miners fairly and squarely and to-
them goes the credit, regardless OF
what Eagle did or did not do.
Sunday the team goes to to Iron
