from those who believed that in the

The communication was made in
reply to IL questions sent to the Mos
cow Internationale by the Independ-
ent Labor party. One of these ques-
lions was:
How does communism differ from
other forms Of socialism," To this
the following reply was made:
There are no other forms. There
is only communism. Whatever else
goes under the name of socialism is
either wtllful deception by the 1ackeys
Of the bourgeoise or self delusion by
persons who hesitate to choose be-
tween the proletariat and the bour-
geoise."
Another Of the answers says:
''It is most unlikely the bourgeoisie
will surrender its power without a
struggle. Therefore the workers of
Great Britain should prepare, not for
an easy parliamentary victory but for
victory by a heavy civil war;
"Civil war, world revolutions" and
profound distrust of parliamentary
action appear in several of the
answers. The concluding part of the

OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
Undergraduates of Delaware Hos
pital Hear Address by Miss
Eldridge.

That the time would come when every
factory school and large business establish
mcnt would have their public health
nurse, who would not only look after the
sick, but show them ways to prevent
sickness, was feature of an address made
Wednesday by Miss Elizabeth Walsh,
field representative of the Pennsylvania
Delaware division of the American Red
Cross. The address of Miss Walsh was one
Of several made to the undergraduate
nurses at the Delaware Hospital. Miss
Walsh pointed out the large opportuni-
ties that would be presented in the future,
and are open now IN fact, to public health
nurses.
Miss Eldridge, Interstate Secretary of
the American Nurses Association and
OF the National Organization of Public
Health Nursing, said it was the fault of
members of the profession that there is so
great a scarcity of nurses today. "If YOU
ask them how they like their work, they
tell you that the hours are awful, the
work hard, the people cranky, and if
they had sister they would never let
her be a nurse. And yet they stay in the
profession" She asked each nurse to get
into a campaign and each try TO bring at
least one pupil TO train for nursing TO the
hospital.
The meeting was presided over by
Mary a. Moran, director of the Red Gross
Teaching Center, and President of the
state Association of Graded Nurses-who
read paper telling of the attractive
course In public health nursing given by
the Pennsvlvania-Dela Division of
the American Red Cross at the Pennsyl-
vania School for Social Service in Phila-
delphia, and of two scholarships open.
In the afternoon these speakers made
addresses at the Red Cross Center, 913
Delaware avenue, before meeting of the
Board of Managers of the State Tuber-
culosis Commission, the State Board Of
Charities, the Visiting Nurses, the execu-
tive committee of the Delaware Chapter
OF the Red Cross and hospital representa-
tives.
Delegates who will 60 20 the convention
at Atlanta Ga, are: Miss Blanche Lock-
wood. of the visiting nurses; Miss Caroline
Sparrow, superintendent of the Delaware
Hospital; Miss Olive Lingo, of the Dela-
ware Hospital: Miss Olive D. HartIove,
field instructor for Delaware Chapter of
the Red Gross; Miss Margaret j. Moran,
directress OF st. Agnes Hospital, Phila-
delphia; Miss Mary E. Moran, Miss
Elizabeth Walsh and Miss Adda Eldridge.

 The Albert Squirrel has black ears, a brown back, gray sides and is white underneath. His cousin, the Kaibah Squirrel. has brown ears with black tips and his tail is mostly white. Both are very lovely. But their families are small and so they are little known"

 It tickled Old Mother Nature to see the surprise in the faces of Peter Rab- Dit Jumper the Hare and Chatterer the Red Squirrel when she told them that there were black coated Gray Squir- fels' only there are no black coats" said she. some members of his family are rusty-red, some are a mixture of red and gray. and some are as gray as Happy Jack himself. Way down in the sunny South the Fox Squirrels all ways have white noses and ears, but in the North they never have white noses and ears. But all are true Fox Squir- rels.
 Rusty the Fox Squirrel is lttls bigger than Happy Jack the Gray squirrel, and had just such a fine, big tail. He is the strongest and heaviest or the Tree Squirrel and not nearly so quick and graceful as Happy Jack. His habits are much the same as those of Happy Jack, and so he likes much the same surroundings. Sometimes Rusty has two nests in the same tree; one in hollow, for bad weather and one of sites and leaves outside in the branches for god weather. Like his cousin.
