TRAINED NURSES SCARCE = EFFORT
 STARTS FOR MORE
Red Cross and Other 0rganl- zations Begin Campaign to Arouse Interest In Neg
 Iected Profession

The American Red Cross, the American Nursing association, the Nursing League of Education and the National League of Public Health Nurses have issued challenge to the young women over all of the United States in an effort to enroll students in hospital training schools.
 This nationwide campaign for re- cruits Is the result of the serious short age which is being felt in all parts of the country, particularly the south.
 NEEDED NOW
 In speaking of conditions in Bir- mingham, Mrs. John R. Hornady, pub licity chairman of the American Red Cross, said:
 The local chapter of the organiza- tion will cooperate In every way to increase the number of student nurses taking training in this city. The situa- ton is quite acute In portions of Ala bama. and tho people of the rural conn munities must look to the city hospital training schools for relief.
 The Gulf division, American Red Cross, under the supervision of Miss L. Agnes Daspit, Is sending out nurses to interest young women In Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi, where lack of trained nurses Is particularly alarm ing.
 Tomorrow Miss Sarah King. Red Cross nurse. will address the schools of Birmingham in the interest of tho movement. Young women between the ages of 19 and 35 are asked to con slider taking up the profession of nurs- ing by attending a meeting at the schools. where Miss King will speak. At these meetings committees will be appointed to launch the drive In Jeffer- son county. .At

 schools in the south recently held its graduation exercises. In the middle of a stage banked with palms and floral offerings from admiring friends, sat the graduating class, attired in the snowy white gown and cap of the quail flied nurses.
 The class consisted of one lone young woman.
 Such condition of affairs is appall- ing.
 The south is not alone in this criti- cal shortage of nurses. All over the country the situation in the nursing g field Is desperate. In some localities 1t is impossible to obtain nurses. and disastrous results have followed tho nursing of serious surgical cases by untrained women, when skilled grad uates were a necessity"

MO0SEHEART HOME
 GOES ID FLORIDA.

Birmingham will not get the Moose heart of the south. It will be located in Florida in either Jacksonville, Sam ford or St. Petersburg, according to Charles M. Raphun. district deputy supreme dictator of the Loyal Order of Moose for Florida and Georgia, who wrote under date of February IS to George R. Benton, manager of the Hillman. Mir. sBenton gave out this information last night. He and MT. Raphun are friends of long standing.
 Birmingham had hopes of landing this home, which is to provide for the orphans of Moose members. Represen- tatives of the supreme council of the Loyal Order of Moose were in the city several weeks ago, and at that time the situation was thought to be en- couraging According to MT. Raphun's letter, however. the chances of bring ing Mooseheart's southern home to Birmingham have gone a-glimmering.
 The home. if decision is finally made to locate at Jacksonville, will occupy the site of the war cantonment at Camp Johnston.

 "Td like to see both. This city needs the Sunday movies badly, and there is no man under the sun who can put up an intelligent argument against them"
 William w. Warren. salesman. Col gate & Co.,, Atlanta:
 That is just the reason travelling men like to be in Montgomery or any place else except Birmingham when Sunday comes around. If you want this place to live. lot the vote be had Any thinking person knows what the result of such vote would be-"
 Beulah Hardy. stenographer. post- office building:
 Moore good than harm comes from the Sunday movie. and don't know anybody who is really against them A vote would tell the story, and the vote ought to te put up to the peo- ple."
 Emma Rause. salesgirl. Avondale:
 'They ought to do something to let 2 person get little joy out of life. Sundays about the only time girl like me who lives go far out can get to show and enjoy 1t. The girls voting would bring them in. too"
 Robert R. Russell, brakeman Louis- ville and Nashville railroad. Boyles:
 If we had Sunday movies. there'd be a lot less vice that's brought about by young folks having no place to go. agree with others I've heard that you can take away persons amusement. but you can't make them bow to any creed against their will"

 will illustrate the lecture with geries of stereopticon slides.

 full speakers in America today, say
 those who have heard him, and his lec-
 lures are full of spontaneity, alive
 with kindly humor. The presentation of his subject is in simple language,
 with elemental illustrations. The reference room at the Birming-
 ham public library has reserved the following books for the use of those interested in the lecture of Modern French Sculpture" to be given by Mir. Taft:
