AUTO COMMISSIONER
ANTICIPATES HEAVY
RUSH FOR LICENSES

Automobile Commissioner Baugh-
man is preparing to take care OF a
great rush for operators and chauf-
feurs during the month of June.
On June !. the recent amendment of
Section 143 of the Motor Vehicle Law
goes into effect This amendment
| provides that youths between the ages
of is and Is years may now apply for
license to operate automobiles in
this State and be granted one IN the
event that they satisfactorily pass the
required test The Automobile Com
missioner has been opposed to the
lowering of the age limit throughout
the fight which was carried on in the
Legislature on this point. The law
was passed however, despite his OPP
position. The Commissioner is will
ling to concede that great many
youths between the ages of 10 and Is
years are perfectly competent to
shift levers on an automobile ana
steer same on a straight course but
he stoutly maintains that 80 per cent
of the boys and girls between these
ages have neither the prudence nor
the discretion that is required to OPP
crate a motor vehicle.
1t was observed during the recent
war, when by special war measure,
certain youths between 16 and Is
years of age were permitted to take
out chauffeurs and operators licenses,
that most of these boys were prone
20 pass everything on the road OFT
entimes doing this at the most mop
portune moments when the view
ahead was INSTRUCTED by curve or
when the way ahead was not clear
of approaching traffic. The Commits
sioner sincerely hopes, that those
parents who allow their 10 and IL
year old offspring to obtain licenses
to operate automobiles, will see that
they are thoroughly instructed re-
garding the operation of same, ana
that when practical these youngsters
be accompanied by one of their eld-
ers, who will be able to check those
outbreaks of that fast and reckless
UrlVlnR Hdnid WHICH mas ~ NAS~+'
spread death and destruction in It's
path.
The Commissioner has decided that
inasmuch as none of these applicants
between the ages of 16 and Is years
have ever had an opportunity to drive
before in this State he will require
that they keep their instruction Ii
cense for the full period of thirty
1901 days before issuing them regu-
lar operators license. BY the provis-
ionss of Section 143 no one is allowed
to drive on an instruction license I'M
less accompanied by regularly IL
censed operator. The Automobile
Commissioners Office is daily IN re-
ceipt of from so to 100 applications
for operators license from youths be-
low IS years of age and these APP
plications are being daily returned as
no applications may be received I'M
til after June l.

Worked Unspar;ngly

For nine weeks the nurses worked
unsparingly. Owing TO the heavy de-
mands made on the male members of
the unit for heavy work. such as road
building. painting, etc. the nurses
undertook the heavy cleaning of the
wards in addition to their regular du-
ties. 1t was a pleasure 10 note how
this type of fine American womanhood
was welcomed and appre lated by the
Queenstown populace. After the arm
istice it was possible to grant the
nurses leave TO visit and travel in the
British Isles They especially enjoy
ed the lakes of Killarney, English
cathedral towns and the lake country
of Scotland. 1t was possible to send
half of the unit home by Christmas,
1918, but their trials were not at an
end for their ship, the Great North
ern" was wrecked on Fire Island, and
they were rescued with difficulty in
heavy sea. A month later the re-
naming members of the nursing staff
were on their homeward way and the
hospital commenced TO be demobil-
lied The majority of these nurses
continued in the naval service. A few
of the seniors crossed the continent
with a Red Cross unit for service in

War Wrought Changes

THE war has wrought many
changes in everything, and especially
in the nursing care of our sick. This
applies all over the United States.
The shortage of trained women is
very acute and getting worse. 1t has
made itself felt most in hospitals,
where very i'll people and nearly all
surgical cases are cared for. This,
like all the rest of the hospitals, is
up against the wall. | appeal there
fore to you people of Annapolis and
Anne Arundel county to use every eff
fort to induce young women OF your
acquaintance to take up this grand
and glorious work of nursing, and try
to emulate the example of these two
women, who are today receiving their
diplomas. The work is hard and self
sacrificing, but is anything more God
like than the kind and gentle minis
trations to poor, suffering humanity:
Think this over and let the whole
community help to keep the hospital
running to capacity. / bespeak the
sentiment of the medical and nursing
staff in wishing wonderful success in
your future career. ! have the honor
of presenting these diplomas"

A Plea Fer Recruits
Nurses In Family Practice

"In addition to this recruiting Incl
dent, may / venture to offer certain
suggestions based on experience in
family practice. 1t is well for the
nurse to remember that homes be-
come confused and members of the
family distracted by sickness and
anxiety. Let your advent into such a
home bring quietness and confidence.
Demands on the servants are as much
resented by the household as by the
servants themselves. The majority of
people are willing to make every eff
fort to give you comfort and conserve
your strength for the nursing task,
Sometimes the home, devoid of con-
veniences, has a happier atmosphere
than one of luxury Cheerful, self
abnegation under trying surroundings
is good example TO all concerned, es-
pecially the servants Try to be hu-
man and forget the professional. Your
greatest asset as a woman is tender
ness and sympathy. Do not permit
your responsiveness to be calloused
by the sordidness of human nature
about you and the repetition OF

Loyalty Essential
Loyalty is the basis of all diseip-

your profession, as exemplified in the
heroine OF the Crimean War, but 10y
atty to the doctor with whom you
work. Medicine is an art and not an
exact science. Be loyal TO your doc

For this reason doctors prefer to en-
ploy what they call their own nurses,

as well as skill.

DIR. Puryis's Address

In presenting the diplomas to the
two graduates. Or. j. Oliver Puryis,
Chief of STAFF. said:
"As the representative OF the medi-
cal STAFF of this hospital, the pleasure
and honor has devolved on me to pres
ent to you our official seal of your eff
cheney and fitness TO practice your
nursing profession.
There is always an eevent in the
students life that stands out more
prominently than any other. 1t is the
day of his graduation, the day when
one will get his diploma, the day one
looks forward to throughout the
whole career of undergraduate life.
This day for you has arrived.
81 want to congratulate you ladies
on the profession you have chosen and
hope you will join the ranks and file
of the graduate nurse, and always
strive to uphold by your words and
acts the lofty position it has assumed
in the eyes OF the civilized world.
Think of the great and glorious work
the members of your profession did
in the World War. | am sure you
both would have been numbered
among that great army had you grad
uated in time.
"You ladies did just as great work
by sticking to your posts at home and
completing your course.

PLANS Being MADE
FOR INTERCHURCH
MEETING TUESDAY
Pictures and Addresses at Next Weeks
Meeting VIII Show Survey Of
Religious Conditions.

Maysville's church people and the
public in general will have the oppor-
tunity next Tuesday and Wednesday to
see and hear something of the great
Inter-Church World Movement that is
so gripping the religious people of our
nation at the present time At the First
Presbyterian church on Tuesday eve
ming will be given a series of pictures
showing the results of the surveys
made throughout the world. Many of
these pictures will deal with condi-
tions right in our home state of Ken
lucky. The men who are to speak are
men who are expert in dealing with
the problems facing the church.
One can scarcely pick up a newspa-
per of any sort these days without
seeing in big display advertisements
the work of the lnter-Church World
Movement outlined. 1t is simply the
getting together of over thirty of the
leading denominations and massing
their forces to fight the great prob
lens that face the church and to con-
quer the world for Christ.
That the movement is attracting the
greatest men of our country is evident
to all who read of the meetings of
various sorts in the interest of the
movement. Only this week there was
held monster meeting in Cincinnati
at which the Governor of Maine, John
d. Rockefeller, Jr., ]. E. Earl Taylor
and many others of equal reputation
were present to speak. The people of
Maysyille should consider themselves
fortunate in having our city selected
as the place for one of the district
conventions. The first meeting will
be- on Tuesday evening. Then there
! will be an all-day meeting on Wednes-
day. A full program of the speakers.
their subjects and general outline of
the conference will be given the public
in few days. Everyone who can pos
sibly do so should arrange their affairs
so as to be able to attend every one
of the services.

HOMES ARE NEEDED
FOR MANY CHILDREN
AT KENTUCKY HOME
Kentucky Chi'drcns' Home Makes Ap.
peal to kentuckianS For 225
Children without Parents.

The Kentucky Children's Home So
ciety now has in its Receiving Home,
in Louisville, 225 children. They range
in age from a few weeks to eighteen
years. the youngest being a little girl
less than three weeks, and the Oldest n
girl, eighteen years of age.
Owing to the fact that we have had
no medium of telling the citizens the
number of children we have. we have
net had arrl'ca ions sufiic ent to place
them in homes.
We make this appeal to the citizens,
asking them to o, en- their hearts and
homes to these children.
There are many in the institution
W no are sweet and attractive, and will
radiate Gods richest blessings and
sunshine to the families and homes
who take them.
The majority of these children are
ready for homes and when you take
one of them, you are obeying the in
junction of our Savior, who said "In-
asmuch as ye have done it unto one OF
the least of-these, ye have done it-un-
to me-"
People who are not in a position to
give child good care and attention
need not apply. for it is necessary for
us to know that our children will be
we'll cared for
If large number of these children
are placed in the next 80 or 60 days
we can relieve the counties of children
who should be sent to us Immediately
as it is impossible for us to take then
until we place those we now have il
the Receiving Home, and we hone thai
a great many of our Kentucky families
will at this special time, find it con
venient to take one of these children
into their homes.
