PROGRAM for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns of less
than 5000 population benefit in very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 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 hearth instruction
and general educational progress OF
both children and adults play q big
part.
Recreation Is found to be one of the
biggest needs in rural life There is
lack of sufficient p1ay-Iife 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
rfed 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.
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

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

More than 81 900 graduate nurses
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and its department
of nursing is daily increasing this en-
ronment
The department of nursing has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve OF nurses for the army and
navy. It 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
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 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 hourishes actively in hundreds of
small towns and counties Nearly
been assigned to this kind of work
The department of nursing is unit
ing with other organiza tons 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 dfetitians 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-
places has given impetus to the estab-
school houses.
"As community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara d.
Noyes, director of the department Of
nursing, ''it is logical that the com
munfty should be aroused to its respon-
sfbility. The American Red Cross
stands ready to help In a 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"

Sounded by Courts and Police

The doom of the Broadway masher
has been sealed by court and police
edicts, and the Washer Sonad, a group
of husky detectives, is under instruc-
tions to make life interesting for the
parasites who stand on Broadway cor
ners at night and make it hazardous
for a woman to travel that thorough
fare without an escort.
Twenty-four alleged Washers were
rraigned before Magi strate McGeehan
In the West Side court yesterday. The
magistrate told the prisoners just what
they might expect. if they ever ap-
pcared in that court again. The mag
istrate said it would be the workhousc
and stiff sentence to boot
The police say the part of Broadway
extending from Forty second Street to
Fiftieth Street is infested nightly by
hundreds of men who devote their time
solely to insulting unprotected women
who pass by.
The prisoners addressed by the mag
istrate were taken in raids Tuesday
night. The arrests were made in the
Forty sixth Street section of Broad
way and at Forty-second Street and
Seventh Avenue. Scores of mashcrs fled

Rival Refuses
Wife as Gift:
Man Sues Him
Husband Declares $780,
600 Action Was Brought
ON Expiration of Ultima
tum Given Last Month
Couple Eloped, He Says
Tells of Many Conferences
and Promises to Reform:
Battle for Love Revealed

TRENTON, N. j., Aug. 4--Charles
B. Chsolm, of 81 Beaumont Place, New
ark, says in papers filed to-day in
suit to recover 100000 for the alleged
alienation of his wife's affection, that
the action is merely the fulfllment of
the terms Of an ultmatum he offered
last month to the defendant, William
c. Parker, of Morrstown.
He told Parker then, he said, that if
he wanted to marry Mrs. Chisolm he
intention of marrying her he should
sever all relations with her. Unless
Parker did one of these two things,
Chisolm said he told him, suit to
recover 100000 for alienation of Mrs
Chisom's affection would be insti-
tutcd.
The conference last month was the
last of many which the two men and
the woman had had concerning the
difficult situation since it first arose
about two years ago. Mrs. Chisolm
had been sent to the White Mountains
by her husband for a vacation, but had
returned after only two days.
"Take her or leave her-either one
or the other-or face a suit for alien
ation," Chisolm declares he told
Parker.
~ can't take her." he quotes Parker
as replying. 1--WE go ito educate my
sons"
"The education of your sons!" was
the exclamation Chisolm says this
statement wrung from him. do you
put the education of your sons before
a woman like that"
The ultimatum was to expire in ten
days, Chisolm says, but the very day
after the conference Mrs. Chisolm
packed her bag and cloped with Parker
according to information he received
by telephone from Mrs Parker. CHS
ohm says that he and Mrs. Parker still
were discussing the situation over the
telephone when Mrs Chisolm walked
into her home. The clippers had thought
better of their decision, he says, and
called the venture off.
Chisolm says that after that Parker
offered to give bond in any reasonable
sum, which should be forfeited if he law
Mrs. Chisolm again. Chsolm informed
him, he says, that matters had gone too
lar TO be settled in that fashion, and
that he now must face an action in court
The attachment between Parker and
Mrs. Chisolm is alleged to have been
'olmed IN the summer of 1918. when
both families had cottages for the sea-
son at Culvers Lake. ~ J. As soon as
Chisolm heard about it, he says, he and
his wife and Parker talked things over
cody and decided unanimously that the
affair must 90 no further
There were many of these conferences
in the months that followed, he says, to
somc of which Mrs Parker who is sep
aratod from her husband, was a party.
Chisolm declares that Parker was pro
life in promises, but never seemed to be
able to resist the fascination Mrs.
Chisolm had for him.

Not all of those six children of Peter
Rabbit were alike. Goodness, no!
Did you ever in your life see six
children just alike? OF course not
They looked very much alike, though
some grew little faster than others,
but each was different from the others
One was very, very timid Another was
much too bold. One had all of Peters
curiosity. Ono was full of mischief and
another was very quiet. And one was
willful
A willful person is one who insists
on doing az he p1eases-having his own
way. lie will not listen TO advice or,
II he listens, does not heed it. He
thinks he knows best and no one can
tell him anything. Such a person is
bound to Get into trouble and to make
trouble for others
1t was just this way with that willful
young Rabbit. He was disobedient.
Be did whatever he wanted to do and
shouldn't do at all He worried little
Mrs. Peter more than all the others
together. Punishment seemed to do him
no good at all. He wanted his own
way, and he would have it. Time and
again ne was warned that if he per-

but this had no effect at all He lust

Now, one Of the rules of the Old

or Mrs. Peter was along The willful
young Rabbit thought this foolish
rule, and every chance he got he would
sup to the nearest patch of sweet
clover. Because as yet he never had
seen single thing to fear he had
decided IN his own mind that there was
nothing to be afraid of. SO he got in
the habit Of wandering further and
further from the dear Old Briar-natch
on these secret trips
Just at dusk one evening while the
rest of the family were in another mart
Of the Ola Briar-patch this wjllful
young Rabbit stole out to the nearest
patch OF sweet clover. At first he
didn't intend to go beyond that. But
as he sat nlbbling clover leaves he re-
membered that he had heard Peter tell
OF a certain big patch of sweet clover

Richman married her. Again the fore
man came into his life and Emma, as
before, was powerless to resist him,
confessing her fear and her weakness
to her husband.
Richman met the foreman one day as
he entered the factory. 1t was in his
mind merely to warn the man, but at
the sight of his eyes the foreman
lunged at him with knife, which
Richman twisted from his grasp and
buried in his gross body. The stroke
killed the foreman and Richman was
arrested. He was tried on a charge of
murder and acquitted May 8. He came
out of prison to find his family in dire
want, his mother-in-law lunatic and
his wife a nervous wreck.
He could not sleep. Therefore he
could not work Neither his thoughts
nor his fingers would obey him. They
were always plucking at something. A
doctor gave him some pills to make
him sleep. His wife found the box
and swallowed them all. Her life was
saved at hospital and he got no more
pills and no more sleep. But she re-
membercd the label on the box and got
more. The hospital saved her again
That was all, except that he could not
sleep. His visitors left him, seated be-
meath a flaring gas jet
