Eighty years ago a nurse was 9

whose standing was that, of a. scrub.
woman,
Florence Nightingale, coming from a
distinguished English family, shocked
her friends and relatives when she
began nursing the sick. 1t was she
who founded the profession as I'VE
know it today Her writings on the
subject are still used as textbooks
which shows how clearly she identified
the fundamentals in her field M
The Crimean War gave Florence
Nightingale her opportunity. For the
first time in history women nurses
were attached 40 the British Army
with Florence ightingale at their
head. The soldiers. loved her. She
saved an inestilnable number of lives
1t was. in this war service that she
won the name of "The Lady of the
lamp" because of her devoted prac'
tice of going through the hospital
wards at all hours of the night. Long
fellow wrote a famous poem under
this title. ,sti<si
Nursing has advanced far since
Florence Nightingale's day. The pro
fesson has become more and more
specialized, and the training more
rigorous as standards were raised
In these days nurses are to be found
not only in sick rooms, but: in pub
lie health service, in industrial work
in laboratories, in schools, in operat'
ing rooms; everywhere, in fact, that
offers a place to save life and relieve
suffering.
And wherever there are nurses, May
70 probably always will 'be observed
as the birthday Of Florence Nlght1n-
gale.
Many Bismarck people visited the
local hospitals today and were shown
Though the institutions in observance
of National Hospital day. The pro-
gram which had been planned by the
student nurses of St. Alexius hospital
to be given this evening has been post
poned on account of the death of Miss
Dmch, one of the nurses. The pro-
gram will probably be, given so1e time
next week.

$4,000 BONDS
ARE MISSING
Citv of MinOt Bonds Are Being
Hunted

Twentyreight thousand dollars worth
of sewage bonds of the city of Minot,
held in the office of the. state land
commissioner, have disappeared. A
thorough search Of the office and in
the state auditors Office has failed to
produce the bonds, according to G. K.
Kositzky, state land commissioner.
The bonds, it is said, were executed.
It is. not believed that they have been
stolen and it was thought possible
that they might be located later. 1t
is not expected any loss could be oc'
casiOned the state.
The matter came to light when an
employe went in the vault to get the
bonds. The land commission had pur.
chased s2S5OOO of bonds of the city
of Minot. There had been paid to date
to Minot total of $257,C00. There
remained in the LAND office bonds
amounting to $4,000, for which funds
had not been advanced Money be-
camo available for the payment OK
$4,000 more on the bonds. In certify.
ing the records an employe started to
look up the bonds, and could not find
/ them e..
It is thought they may .be located
later.
w. J. Prater, former land commits
sioner, said: II am satisfied the bonds
were there When Mr.. Kositzky entered
the office and l believe they still are
unless since removed"
Mr.. Prater said no loss could be Oc
casioned as bonds are payable to thu
| state. ..s.

Talks on Subject

Philadelphia, Pa, May 12.-Impar-
tial experts agree that the only hope
of economic reconstruction for Ger
many lies in a speedy and consider
able reduction of the exaggerated re-
parations payments and the defer
ment of all such payments for "at
least a number of years." Karl Lang,
German charge de affaires, declared
in an address here today before the
American Academy of Political and
Social.
In his first utterance since arriv-
ing in this country last fall Mr.. Lang
added that an equally important es-
sential to Germany's economic re-
covery was the negotiation of an in
ternational loan. In this, he said. Ger
many hoped the United States would
take part.

BABY CLINIC /.
VOTED A Big
SUCCESS HERE
Infants weighed, Measured and
Examined by Physicians and
Nurses at Clinic
DOCTORS ARE KEPT BUSY
Physicians, Nurses, Mothers Co
operate in Making the Event
A Big Success

Cute little gurgling babies, froWning
crying babies, calm, big-eyed, wonder
ing babies, frowning, kicking babies
they all were present. at the clinics
held yesterday at the Wachter schoo!
and the rest room Of the Masonic tenn
pie as part Of Child Welfare Week. .
It might not he said that the babies
particularly enjoyed being weighed
measured examined by patient and
willing physicians Of the city who co.
operated with the Women's Commun-
ity Council of the city in conducting
the free clinic. , But mothers Of the
babies highly appreciated the oppor-
tunity to get the valuable, scientific
information concerning their babies ad
vice as to the best food and best
method Of caring for the children.
Doctors and nurses were kept busy
from the time the clinic opened un-
til It. closed last evening. During the
morning the number was not SO large,
but along in the afternoon there was
a steady procession of mothers with
their precious infants to the clinic.
Here and there mother pride per.
haps brought a frown at mention Of
some particular minor defect or some
suggestion as to better care of the
infant in accordance with its needs,
hut it was only for moment, and
mothers, physicians and nurses all
found the clinic mighty interesting,
and those in charge believe it was
profitable.
So much Child Welfare work 1as
been done under the auspices Of. the
Women's Community Council during
the winter that with the exception OF
the clinics yesterday no special effort
was made to observe Child Welfare
week here. The interest of the chill
dren in the week was awakened with
the poster contest and the contest that
will be on until the end OF the school
year when the child making the great.
est gain in weight will receive q gold
eversharp pencil.
Mrs Bonham and Mrs Edward Ban.
non were in charge of the clinic at
the Wac1ter school. Mrs. Nuessle and
Mrs Brandt were in charge OF the
clinic at the rest room. Both com
mittees were pleased with the num-
:ber examined and the work &C.
complished.
Nearly 100 Examined
Nearly one hundred children were
weighed, measured and examined yes
terday. Sixty were taken care OF at
the clinic and the Wachter school and
80 at the clinic at the rest room
The committees from the Women's
Community Council in charge wish to
thank the doctors, the nurses ana tne
ladies who helped at the clinics and
so splendidly cooperated in this work.
The committees are also indebted to
the Anti tuberculosis Association for
the use of the Health Posters.
