NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurses
nave been enrolled In the American
lied 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 1t 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
ganized 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 q 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 fourfshes actively In hundreds Of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
hnnn fA hfs in1 81
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.
"As a community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Moves, director of the department Of
nursing, at is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to Its respon-
sibility. 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"

HOME SERVICE FOR
EVERYBODY IN NEED

Do you know what the present day
Home Service of the American Red
Cross Is?
Many people do not know that, be-
sides completing the work for ex-serv-
Ice men, especially the disabled, it pro-
vides the same neighborly service to
families In general that 1t formerly
gave families of soldiers, sailors and
marines.
"Home Service covers wide and
varied field" says Frederick c. Mum
roe, general manager of the American
Red Cross. ut gives aid to families
In solving such problems as budget
planning, marketing, tiding over times
of financial stress, keeping children in
school, helping crippled children, wild
owed and deserted mothers, children
backward in school and children in
conflict with the laws. 1t renders serv-
ice to the homeless and transient, to
the iilfterate, to tenement dwellers, to
the unemployed, and gives friendly as
sistaAce and advice to foreign speak
ing groups"
In addition to helping families in
the solution of their own problems,
Home Service helps In Strengthening
the weak spots in the social life of
communities. 1t Joins hands with 9TH
ers to make communities safer,
healthier and happier.
Organizing action along lines In
which the community is already inter
ested is one of the objects of Home
Service. 1t has established community
meetings, patriotic celebrations, pag-
eants and picnics. Hest rooms, recre-
alton facilities, play supervisors and
moving pictures have been provided.
Through Home Service other agencies
are Influenced to bring about improved
commercial amusements and better
school facilities and to promote travel
ing libraries as we'll as to secure coun-
ty agricultural and home demonstra-
ton agents.
II you need assistance at any time,
go to the secretary of the nearest Red
Cross chapter and describe the situa-
ton. Your confidence will be sacredly
respected and every possible effort will
be made to aid you.

AirpIanes viii Aid Mining.

1t is predicted that the airplane and
the dirigible will prove great stim-
illus to the mining industry in pre-
senting a means of getting material
and men to and from locations which
are known to be rich with ore and
which are at the present time inacces-
sible. There are many such places
known to exist, but the cost of build
ing roadway to them would be so
great as to be prohibitive. Attention
to this phase of the subject has been
recently attracted by a report made
by Doctor Lyon. supervisor of the
mining stations for the United States
bureau of mines. By this means a
regular communication could be main
tanned with sections which are not to
be reached by any ordinary means.
1t is also suggested that the same
means might be of great value for
getting rescue apparatus to the scene
of mining disasters.

RED CROSS RELIEF
IN CENTRAL EUROPE

But for timely assistance of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion of the 100000
900 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
kans-Roumania, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe,
while millions of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross In this stricken portion of Eu-
rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages, dispensaries, mobile medi'
cal units and to help In the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer.
iican tractors and other farming nipple
ments have been sent to the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been Civ
en- In blowing the land.
BY the last of this year probably
all American Red Cross agencies ad.
ministering relief in Central Europe
will have withdrawn. BY that time, II
Is believed, the people will have ap
proached a normal state of living and
will be able through their own agencies
which the Red Cross has helped Sci
up to provide for themselves.

Where Big Industry Began.

The dilapidated old shack, still
standing at Eastport, Me-, is of inter-
est by reason of Its being the starting
place of the great American sardine
industry.
The experiment of converting the
small herring into the canned sardine
was tried out in this factory, built for
that purpose by Julius Wolff, Rus
sian, and other New York promoters
nearly forty years ago. At that time
the picturesque weirs, in which the
fish are seined, usually joined the fac
tory property.
From its birth, in this small factory,
sardine canning has developed to al
most the chief industry on the Maine
coast, employing thousands of skilled
workers each season, and has placed
Eastport on the map as one OF the
most important fishing ports in the
country.

TO TEACH BLIND TO DRAW
the SightIess to Communicate
With Outside World.

One Of the many experiments of the
teach people to draw by touch. The
pupil is blindfolded and feels simple
shape, like hammer of spade, and
draws it with his eyes open. An ad-
vanced pupil has drawn the head of a
classical bust and the mask of Bee
thoven.
These experiments fired Mr.. G. B.
Albeit. the director of the society, with
the idea of drawing by the blind. He
has devised medium which looks like
the frosted stuff on a matchbox made
liquid, by which the draughtsman can
follow by touch what he has drawn
and correct or add to his work. So far
there have been no experiments with a
blind pupil.
Mr.. Albeit does not claim for 1t more
than that a blind man can draw the
plan or q design Of something he
wishes to record and explain. A blind
gardener has been known to go into
ecstasies over the unfolding shapes Of
plant. and the drawing of these
shapes, known to him by touch would
undoubtedly give him form Of es-
thetic pleasure. In any case, it would
increase his means of communicating
with the outside world.
A great boon, if the method is pTac-
ticable, would be that 1t would enable
the blind to write and to read writ

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO Give RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit in a very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
$500 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice is to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack Of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics. pageants, debating clubs,
baseball leagues, community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance of Red
Cross rural workers to great advan-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
AS a result Of community organiza-
ton, townships In which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
Of community meetings. as well as cir
culating libraries, Red Cross schools of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations Is being met Play,
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies in the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizations already on
the ground. The main object of the
service is to lend hand everywhere
and take the lead only where. neces-

They are sending dozens of young
Syrians, Montenegrins, and Albanians
to American colleges in Constantinople
and Beirut, and maintaining more than
hundred orphans Of French soldiers
at colleges and trade schools. In or

down the peninsula Of Italy there are
nearly 500 wards Of American Juniors
Last winter thousand French chill
dren from the inadequate shelters Of
the devasted regions were sent by the
Junior Red Cross to spend the cold
months in warmer parts Of France.
At the same time five thousand little
Belgians were having hot lunch every
day at Junior Red Cross school can

American school children have al
ready raised something like a million
dollars for these enterprises, and they
are still hard at work.
