MISS LIEUTENANT NOW HERE
AssimiIated Rank Won for Members
OF Army Nurse Corps After
Long Fight.

There will be female officers In the
American army hereafter. The army
nurse has won her fight for recognI.
| tion.
Sailed carefully away in a safe cor.
ner of army reorganization legislation
as passed by both branches of congress
Is neat little section comforting the
"assimi!ated rank" of major. captain,
and first and second lieutenant on
members of the Army Nurse corps.
The superintendent is to have the rank
of major. the assistant superintendent.
director and assistant directors the
rank OF captain, the chief nurses the
rank OF first lieutenant. and other
nurses are to be second lieutenants.
Officially speaking, a person holding
assimilated rank is one who exercises
limited authority of that rank under
certain conditions. but does not enjoy
the full privileges of the rank. 1t lacks
several OF the elements of absolute
rank. 1t does not call for commits
sion and 1t does not carry the nay, al
l0wances or the emOluments Of one. It
makes no attempt to confer the power
OF command incident to a line officer
OF similar grade. The only incidents
of absolute rank conferred are:
]. The dignity incident to the name
Of the rank.
?. The right to wear the insignia
thereof.
8. The eligibility to exercise author
ty within the limits set forth In the
aw, which are as follows: "As re-
cards medical and sanitary matters
md all work in the line of their du-
les, they shall have and shall be re-
garded as having authority in and
lbout military hospitals next after the
medical officers of the army"
The movement for rank for army
lurses began with Americas entry into
he great war. A series of hearings
N the proposition were held before
he house committee on military af-
airs on April 16, April 20 and June 7,
9lS. Nothing Immediately resulted,
ut the nurses maintained an active
ureau In Washington, headed by Mrs.
lelen Hoy Greeley, New York law
er. When the war was ended and
rmy reorganization was plainly i'm
linent, they stepped in and won.
More than 10000 army nurses saw
verseas service during the war. All
ere graduate nurses recruited largely
trough the American Red Cross nurs-
g service. Army nurses were among
le first TO represent America on the
her side.

"ashington.-In the course of an
address before the Washington Acade-
my OF Sciences at the Cosmos club the
other evening. DR.. Edward b. Rosa,
chlef physicist of the bureau of stand
ards, compared the federal appropria
uons made for research, educational
ana developmental purposes during the
present fiscal year with those devoted
10 military and naval purposes, in
ciuding such as are incident to the
war, ana showed a discrepancy of the
most sensational character. Not only
does congress allow comparatiyeIy
small sum for these beneficial activi-
Ties but the appropriations for pri-
mary government functions and for
the carrying on of public works made
only drop in the bucket compared
with the sum the people are taxed TO
pay for the greed of man as translated
INTO terms of war. DIR. Rosa divides
governmental activities into five |
groups, and states his case with fig |
'ires which also have been confirmed |
by James w. Good of Iowa, chairman |
OF tho house committee on appropria-
lions. Here Is the significant table I

Unemployment Most Costly.

Of course, the economic cost of In
dustrial accidents was enormously
greater before compensation laws were
enacted. As 10 unemployment, the
most costly and the only purely in

government has no reliable record
whatever. A man may break his arm
by falling over cuspidor in his home !:
he may be killed by any fool driving
an automobile. Everything In the way
of physical injury that can occur TO
him while working at his regular oc-
cupation can happen TO him in his
home, ON the street. at church, any
place he may be. But the only way he
can become unemployed is To lose his
job. Nonindustrial physical injury nc.
cidents are probably as numerous as
and even more destructive than indus
