BALLOT BEFORE

Sonora de veyra Describes
Status of Women in the
Philippines.

The Filipino woman is destined to
be in the worlds spotlight more than
ever before as a result of the news just
received by cable from Manila to the
effect that the philippine senate ha~
passed the equal suffrage bill giving
women full political rights with men.
This would indicate that the Filipino
may beat her American sisters to the
ballot box.
The Filipino has many admirers who
predict she will make good if she gets
the vote, just as she has made good in
the very important role she has oc-
cupied in the family and business life
of the Philippines ever since the in

i Nurses are needed and needed bad
ly in the fight to save suffering and
death in this city and it is believed
the necessary cooperation will be
forthcoming Immediately.
Fifty nurse sare needed and the
only, means of securing them is for
men and women to voluntarily offer
| their services.
| Perhaps never before in the history
! Of High Point have nurses been so
greatly in demand as they are today
Every graduate nurse in the city is
kept busy night and day. Not only
| are the people residing in the suburbs
of High Point without nurses, but citi-
ems living in the residential section
I'd pay the price.
1t is suggested that all people need
here is to realize the situation as it
really is. People are requested to pic
I ture for themselves a home with a
mother and father and seven children
stricken with the malady and with no
one to give them assistance. They
have nobody to prepare a meal for
them. They have no one to start the
fires and to keep them burning during
the day and night, and they have no
nurse to give them medicine at the
proper time. Such pictures may be
seen in many High Point homes today
and in the homes Of some of the city's
most prominent people, too
4 1t is said that many people hest
tate in offering their services because
Of the fact that they are afraid they
will contract the disease. Physicians
declare that if people take the neces-
sary precautions they will contract the
disease no more quickly in the home
of patient than they will on the
streets.
No one can deny the fact that the
Red Cross, the Associated Charities
and other organizations of the city are
doing all they possibly can to combat
the disease. The only thing they lack
is nurses and they contend that if
they have them soon the situation
will be we'll in hand.
uAA AO1 Cud ANSW11u, WHO Is Ill

by the Red Cross, is untiring in her
efforts to render assistance to the
unfortunate people of the commun-
ity. Mrs. Walker, the district nurse,
is busy night and day and has been
ever since the influenza situation
reached a serious stage here She has
answered calls in every section of the
city.
Mrs. Frank Gurley, secretary of the
associated charities, up until the time
she was taken ill several days ago,
rendered splendid service to the peo-
pie of the community, going into
homes where practically the entire
family was stricken with influenza.
She has at all times expressed will
ingness to render any service and has
been the good Samaritan in many
ways.
