BUTTE NOT POPULAR
WITH DUTCH. FOR
RENT CONTAGIOUS
(Bv United press)

BUTTE, MONT, Oct. 20.-It is not
likely that friends back home Of a
certain Dutch engineer, a member of
Hollands recent royal commission to
study water power in the northwest,
will flock to Butte to make their
homes.
For, if said engineer told them his
impressions of the city, received while
driving over it in an automobile tour,
they will believe Butte infested with
contagion. And all because his
knowledge of English was hazy.
During the trip the party passed a
"measles" sign. When the Dutchman
asked what it was, the host explained
it indicated there was a case Of con-
tagious measles in that house. At
other times during the tour other

MARRIED" TO ASHES
OF JAPANESE LOVER
(By nited Press)


TOKYO, Oct. 2O.-The rather IN
usual ceremony of uniting in mar
riage the ashes of two lovers took
place few days ago in the province
of Izu. The young man and woman
in question had been attached to each
other for some time, but circum-
stances prevented them from marry
ing. In despair they committed
"shinju," or double suicide, as is quite
common under such circumstances in
Japan, by leaping into the sea from a
cliff at Atami, a wellknown bathing
resort. Their remains were cremated
and the Buddhist wedding ceremony
then performed over the ashes, as
according to Buddhist belief, this
marriage will carry over into the next

LONDON, Oct. 20.--Since the
days of the elaborately carved figure

seums, no British warship has carried
an official badge but now an admiral

viser," has revived the ancient in

Each British man o'war has now
been granted duly authorized badge,

FRIDAY CARD
TO Be FAST ONE

The following card has been an
'nounced by Harry Woodbury.. manager
of the American Legion Athletic club
for the bouts to be given tonight:
Main Events-Ray Neal VS.. Sailor
Ivey; Davis VS.. Paddy Dillon; Tommy
Acosta VS.. Young Mandot.
Semi i-Windup-Red Corbett versus
Young Leo and one other bout.
Two Of the men on the card are title
holders and nearly all the men have
been seen in action in Ell Centre be-
fore, they are fast and the matches
should be the best given in this city
in many months.
Davis, who won over Whitehead of
the navy last week was returned by
popular demand and will arrive in El
Centre late this afternoon. He is a
tough boy to handle and far above the
average. With only one month in the
ring he took the Pacific coast belt
from an old-timer who has held it for
three years.
Paddy Dillon has never been in the
Valley before, but his name is known
on the coast from San Diego to Van
couver by all interested in the puglis-
tic art.
Ray Neal and Sailor Ivey will ex-
hibit the fastest match of the night,
when they mix for four rounds. Both
lads have a wallop like mule and
are capable of landing the X. 0. any
time during the evening.
Much interest over the Mandot and
Acosta affair has been ipdulged in and
a full house is expected to greet the
men.

Leo of Brawley will furnish the cur

NURSING SERVICE is
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
FlOurishing in Small Towns
Throughout Country.

More than $1,000 graduate nurset
have been enrolled in the American
Red Cross to date and It's 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.
II will assist in establishing proper
nursing service in foreign countries
where the American Red Cross has or
>gRnized 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 a short while ago
has been put ahead at least 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 t1ourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns and counties. Nearly q
thousand efficient nurses have already
been assigned to this kind OF work.
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 dletet-
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 community profits by the work
of the nurse" says Miss Clara D.
Noyes, director of the department Of
nNrslng, sit is logical that the COM
munity should be aroused to Its respon-
sibility. 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" ~,

LIVE STOCK MEN
OF WEST OPPOSE
PACKERS LICENSE

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The
Colorado live stock men, former Gov
ernor E. M Ammons, c. w. Pace, of
Longmont, and c. w. Swayze, of
Denver, appeared today before the
house agricultural committee in OPP
position to the Anderson bill for the
licensing of the packing industry.
II am fully convinced" Mr.. Pace
said, that the inevitable result of
the enactment of this measure would
be vast injury to the live stock men,
while at the same time bringing no
benefit to the consumer. I feel that
it would be the same as 1t was with
the railroads when they were under
government control.
Even under a licensing system,
the big packers would be much bet
ter prepared to protect themselves
than would the smaller concerns. By
the time the administrators Of the
law would get the big packers where
they want them they would have ev
cry small packer out of business"
Mr.. Swayze declared that the large
majority of people in the cattle rails
ing districts are against government
licensing of packers. He submitted
a number Of petitions Of Colorado
oranges in opposition to the bill.
