VISITING NURSES
WILL ASK FUNDS

Washington will be asked Monday
and each day for short time there
after to contribute enough money
to keep the Instructive Visiting
Nurses Society abreast of the de-
mands now being made upon it from
homes of small and moderate in
comes The society wants and needs
$l80, 0,O08, which. 1t is emphasized, will
maintain it for the next two years;
will make possible an increase in
salaries to the experienced graduate
nurses who are now working at q
sacrifice of time and money; provide
additional nurses and above all Will
prepare the society to handle the in
creased amount OF work forecast for
it by statistical comparisons in the
past.
In April, 1921. a public appeal for
$4,000 was made and the city re-
sponded to the exact dollar. Since
that time not even an intimation that
more money was needed has come
from the organization. But at the
April board OF managers meeting,
held Tuesday at the home OF the
secretary, Mrs. Franklin Ellis. 1927
18th street, the condition of the
society came to a showdown and
the result was the unanimous de-
cision of the board to ask the city
to recognize, by contributions, the
the unequaled work which has and
now is being done among the sick
and ailing Of the city.
1,ee0 Patients Helped.
The report Of the director of the So
ciety, Miss Gertrude H. Bowling of
IL <nl Dal of
that meeting showed 1880 patients
were given help during the month of
March and that 5.211 visits were made
by the staff of twenty-sfx nurses.
These figures are definite increase
over January and February. when the
city went through a mild epideNfc OF
grip, and is explained in part by the
prevalence of measles and also to the
continuous growth of the organiza-
tion in supplying nurses to ADmeR of
as the free nursing service to those
unable to pay. From this situation
alone 1t is evident that more nurses
are needed to keep pace with the de-
mands for the service and that al eX-
pansion of the budget for the present
year Is imperative.

NAVY YARD LABOR
MAY GET PAY RAISE

A net increase in navy yard wage
scales would result from the approval
by Assistant Secretary Roosevelt OF
report on the subject placed before
him by the wage board headed by
Rear Admiral Joseph Strauss. Mr..
week. although the revised scales
may not go into effect before the end
of the fiscal year.
The board is understood to have
adopted as it's policy the decision
that navy yard artisans will receive
the same base wage rs paid to similar
crafts in the same locality. This will
result in moderate decreases In some
instances, but the general effect. II Is
said, will be to increase the navy yard
payrolls.
At the Navy Department it was
said today that details Of the report
could not be made public in advance
of the assistant secretaryS decision,
as it is possible he may make some
notifications in the boards recon-
mendations. 1t is not settled whether
whether final action will be taken by
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt, who is
in direct charge of labor affairs In
the Navy. or whether 1t viii be done
Washington this afternoon from a
cruise to Panama and the Pacific
coast. Indications are that the re-
port will receive the full constdera-
tion OF both ofnclalS and be Tnally
acted on next week.
Though the recommendations will
be held in confidence until finally ap-
proved or rejected, it is believed they
provide for a slight wage increase in
an classes of labor at the Washing
ton Navy Yard and moth other naval
establishments. AS far as can be
learned, the proposed new scale at
the local yard and gun factory is
based on current rates Of wages paid
by private establishments In this
vicinity for skilled and unskilled
labor of the same general character.
Local labor organizations repre-
sented to the Strauss board that me-
chanies at the Washington navy yard
were paid less than a like class OF
workmen in privately operated shops.
and were entitled to an increase on
that ground as we'll as because the
cost Of living in this city 10 higher
than elsewhere.
One official of the Navy Depart
ment said that while he could not
give out any figures on the subject
any one conversant with the wages
paid mechanics by private establish
ments in this city could get pretty
good line Of the rates of wages rec

CANALz0NE Church
ASKSf0R SUPPORT.
Speaker Pleads to Keep
Americans Away From
"Worst BrotheIs" in World.

A plea for support for completion
OF the Union Protestant Church at
Balboa, Canal Zone, to assist in pro-
tecting young Americans from the
perils Of some Of the worst brothels"
In the world, was made at luncheon
at the City Club yesterday. at which
speakers from the Canal Zone out
lined the needs OF the church. The
luncheon was arranged by Rev. w. L.
Darby, acting for F. E. Olcott, presi-
dent of the Hudson River Day Lane,
who Is chairman of the COMMITTEES on
religious work ON the Canal Zone.
Rev. Harry B. Fisher. pastor of the
Union Church, at Cristobal, Canal
Zone, painted a picture of the ideal
conditions in the American territory
and then, by contrast, pointed out
conditions across the street, in the
territory OF Panama. He said he
could stand in American territory,
free from vice and free of liquor. and
throw base ball into the entrance
to some of the worst brothels out
side of Shanghai, China. These
dives" he said. annually make prep
arations for entertaining the sailors
of the American fleet, and the young
their trips ashore in far worse con-
dition than when they left, spiritual
ly and. in some cases. physically. The
work of the Union Church, he added,
Is being hampered by its incomplete
condition and should be helped
Dr. Fisher said he had seen some
sights in his four days in Washing
ton which he had not seen in the
American occupied Canal Zone.
Mr.. Olcott, who has been a constant
worker for the church In the Canal
Zone, outlined the character Of the
work Of the church and made an
eloquent plea for help to the church.
Rev. D. G. Wylie. who was recently
in the Canal Zone, told of some OF
his actual experiences in the zone,
where he had seen American naval
enlisted men forego the entertain
ment offered them by the American
citizens Of the zone to cross the line
into aPnama. there to meet with the
"denizens of the underworld" He
said he had found the pastors of
Protestant churches in the zone
Christian. upright gentlemen, who
were working with all their heart
an dsoul for the protection OF Ameri-
cans from the perils Of the Panaman
section. J. R. Smith Of the Canal
Zone also told Of the work Of the
church in the zone.
