will place the rail strike situation be-
fore congress and before the country
within 4S hours, it was officially an
nounced today at the White House.
The announcement came after the
president had conferred on the strike
situahon with his cabinet and with
LEADERS in congress and after railroad
union labor organizations had made
public their rejection of the 'presi-
dents last settlement proposal to-

of the non-striking unions planned to
continue their efforts at mediation Of
the rail controversy.
The administration spokesman who
made known the presidents purpose
declared there was mo ground for the

tany further proposition for settle>

than those which have already been
laid before the managements and
representatives of the workmen now
striking.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

The nation is wondering why its
people are SO difficult to arouse
from the narcotic effects of indiffer-
ence and help the land back to nor
malcy. The American Legion has
about decided that we are "out of
tune" Are like jangling pianos, fit
only for the scrap heap
In our American high schools, col
leges and orphanages it is hard to
find folk in tune. God is for harmony
and So is nature and the Legion,
but so many people do not know
how to get harmony That is shown

AMERICAN RED CROSS NURSING
SERVICE

This Isl the most far reaching in
its activity, the most fundamental in
it's work of all the services of the
Red Cross organization.
1t is the great coordnating, regist-
ing and distributing agency for a
profession that, both in war and
peace, has proven itself absolutely
necessary to the general safety.
AT the request of the Government,
the American Red Cross holds the
reserve out of which are recruited
the Army and Navy Nursing Corps
both in time of war and in some sud
den emergency of peace.
During the war it assembled,
equipped, uniformed and assigned
nineteen thousand eight hundred and
seventy-seven nurses to active serv-
ice with our Armies and Navy.
1t holds now upon it's lise thirty
seven thousand registered nurses
subject to call.
During the past two wears it has
assigned one thousand one hundred
and sixty-three nurses to the U. S.
Public Health Service for the care
of disabled service men.
1t has trained, equipped and as
signed thirteen hundred and thirty
five Red Cross Public Health Nurses
to the service of chapters and COM
munities throughout the country.
1t has furnished seventeen hund-
red and twenty-six trained instruct
ors i'll Home Hygiene and Care of
the Sick, from whom, during the
past year, two hundred and fifty
eight thoudand seven hundred and
ten women and girls have received
short, intensive courses, whose eff
feet will be vastly increased effici-
ency in the prevention and combat
ing of disease
1t is sending overseas constantly
nurses to Join the medical units
working among destitute children of
Central anl Eastern Europe. It is
establishing and supporting, throug-
out these countries, training schools
for native nurses and thus fitting
them to deal successfully with their
own problems as thev arise
1t is carrying on constantly a
campaign in behalf of the enlist
ment of student nurses among the
young WOIleH OIL tne country, ell
couraging them to enter profes-
sion that has already accomplished
so much and whose future is so big
with usefulness and self sacrificing
service for humanity.
Would it not be possible to urge
the young women who are looking
about for professional training, 70
make them both Independent and
useful, that they give more than a
passing thought to this work of al
leNiating human suffering work
consecrated to the memory of Flor
ence Nightingale and Jane Delano?

flee Tuesday morning under the new
ordinance against gambling. Little
Joe" and Big Dick and all the
rest of the bunch were there and
the court proceeded to find them
guilty and levied fine of $50 each
upon the eleven defendants The
defendants later employed Attorney
c. II. Wilson of Flagstaff who with
Attorney J. L. Sweeney, will take an
appeal from the local court. Under
the city ordinance as lately passed
defendants brought into court under
the ordinance are not entitled to q

Sweeney argued the point before the
local court but it was without juris-
diction on questions of constitution
ality of laws.

cred UP some, poker paraphenelis,
together with the "1ook- out and the
"kittie". Fines amounting to $500
were assessed and thereby the city
is several hundred dollars richer be-
cause of the raids.
Any way, crap shooting and pok

ard within the city confines. The
fellow who makes his living by
cunning gambling games is not and
cannot be a real good citizen, no
matter how nice fellow he may

he puts forth with the paste
boards would be lust as resultful

FLOWER vs. FLOUR: THE
NATIONAL FLOWER

Last Thursday evening the Wash
ington Auditorium was the scene OF
a delightful entertainment when the
pupils of the Junior High school as
sisted by number of pupils from
the Washington school, and Miss
Arlls Miller, gave their operetta
The National Flower. A large and
very appreciative audience listened
with pleasure to the pleas. of the
many beautiful flowers for so great
an honor as being the national fow-
er. AS each daintily dressed flower
came dancing or tripping in and
presented his or her case, we were
sure the Judge and jury were going
to have a hard time deciding the
case. no one was surprised when
the jury announced they could not
agree and asked to be discharged
Uncle Sam, then as usual, came to
the rescue and we all were satisfied
with his choice of flower, for aft
er all, we are all interested i'll
things to eat and if he chose to
have the National Flour" one use,
full as well as ornamental, we are
all satisfied.
Clever songs, pretty dances and
charming costumes, made this op-
eretta one of the prettiest ever wit
messed by a Winslow aundience.
The community is to be congrat-
ulated upon having SO efficient q
music supervisor as Miss Cheek has
proved herself to be, for entertain
ments of this kind are always well
come by the patrons of the school.
