Frankford Postmaster Left "Or

Adjourned.
Special Dispatch From Every Evening s
Washington Correspondent

Washington, July 3.-When Congress
adjourned, a month ago, it left uncon-
firmed the nomination of Austin j. Me
Cabe, to be postmaster at Frankford,
Del. McCabe has served one four-year
term as postmaster and had been reap
pointed.
The failure 20 confirm was not caused
by any objection to his reappointment by
either of the Delaware Senators, but
simply because the nomination was sent
to the Senate only two DAYS before ad-
iournment and in the rush of business
there was not sufficient time for action.
No charges or objection to McCabe's
appointment were filed with the Senate.
At the Postoffice Department today it
was said that as McCabe is now holding
Office it will be unnecessary TO give HIM
recess appointment and that his status
will remain unchanged until the next
Congress session, when his nomination
will be again sent to the Senate.

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 1ts department
Of nursing Ia daily increasing this en-.
rollment.
The department Of nursing has been
authorized to maintain al adequate
reserve Of nurses for the army ana
navy. 1t will continue to supply the
needs Of the United States Public
Health Service to which 1t has as-
s1gned more than 1000 nurses In the
last year.
1t will assist In establishing proper
nursing service Ia foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has Or
Sanized hospitals, dspensaries 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 It's infancy d short while ago
has been put ahead al least q decade
.Arough 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 t1ourishes actively In hundreds OF
small towns and counties. Nearly u
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
Sral public as to standards Of nursing
education and In showing communities
their responsibility toward schools Of
nursing. 1t will endeavJr to meet all
these needs as we'll as to continue the
enrolment Of dietitians who will be
utilized as instructors in home dietet-
ics. In developing nutritional 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-
dation 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 It's respon-
sibtlity. 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 we'll an
the intelligent cooperation OF the
people at large"

MILK AND MEAT AS RIVALS
Rising Prices May Yet Force People to
Turn to the Fluid to Sus-
tain Life.

AS the price of meat scars upward
many people are forced to be part
time vegetarians. Thus the old ques
ton, "Is meat essential to human well.
being?" arises again. The commit
tee on food and nutrition of the Ma.
tional Reserach council has issued an
interesting report on the relative value
of meat and milk
Eighteen per cent of the protein and
energy of grain used in feeding a COW
goes into the milk, and is therefore
recovered for human consumption;
whereas only 3h per cent is recov.

ments in hay and grain, not much is
stored in the tissues, but a great
amount goes into milk.

Science in Warfare.

A novel use in war of sensitive
heat-registering apparatus served In
detecting hostile raiding parties NOV
ing at night in No Mans Land. In
paper to the American Physical So
ciety, S. o. Hoffman described the re-
ceiver as a thermople placed at the
focus of 14inch parabolic mirror, and
connected to q D'Arsonval galvanom-
eter. This device proved capable of
detecting a man 900 feet away by the
heat Of his body. Besides thus doing
efficient service in guarding trenches,
this heat detector is suggested as the
basis of new kind of secret signal
ing at short range.
