GOOD AND BAD NURSES

An amazing attack on the nursing PROBES
sion anpeared in recent issue OF the Medical
Review OF Reviews, charging that trained
nurses Jar from being angels OF mercy are
,,roGtaers in illness. A host OF defenders
arises to protest
There are individual nurses VINO are '''er-

r;nos in which the profession is undule COM
mercialized This is true of any business OF

WAGES for nursing are high and the ae-

COMMUNICATION
Editor Gazette:

Editor Gazette:
Evidently the Volstead law was
intended to promote temperance
but having failed to accomplish
ed the desired result, why not
now consent to obtain a varia-
ton of the present law so as to
meet the approval of a very
large element of good citizens
and enact law appeasing this
growing element, by the manufac
ture of light wines and beers;
thereby approving the wish OF
this large and growing element
and at same time promoting the
ends of temperance.
The law as it now stands, for
prohibition, has been tried and
not only proven failure but a
veritable farce and boomerang"
creating the contempt and disre-
gard for all law in general and
especially for the destruction of
human life and. needlessly so, in
the enforcement of the present
law. All that we have was made
for the good and proper use OF
same. Good and evil is placed
before you, choose you which you
will" Abraham lincoln said,
"Prohibition is a stumbling
block to real temperance. A
prihibitory law is a direct slap
to our fundamental principles Of
government. When the white
man governs himself, that is
self government, but when he
governs himself and also another
that is no more self-government
that is Despotism. Until death
shall silence my tongue / shall
continue to fight for the rights Of
mankind"
A silent but potent an earnest
witness when this same law was
voted in years gone by.
No law that infringes upon
the God-given rights of mankind
can or ever will be successfully
enforced. Why not a dispensary
system?
The Barroom system was a bit
ter curse and met with its des-
truction, and now is the oppor-
tune time to substitute a law by
which the Government can have
full control of the manufacture
Of all liquors.
If pure liquor is made, the
spurious substitutes now used
will be broken up and the reve-
nue. from this system will
amount to millions of dollars
there will be much less drunk
enness, less murders, rapes,
thefts and in fact a change which
will rebound to the welfare of hui
mainly.
Under the present system,
which is much worse than the
barroom, especially to the sick
and needy as the price of whisky
is more than the poor man can
pay; the rich can always get

OCC TO ATTEND
CONVENTION
Will Be Busy Man-Repre-
sents MOlders and Cen
trail Body

One of the busiest men at the con-
vention of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, to be held at Mansfield, be-
ginning Monday, September "a, will
be Stanley Ogg. AS seventh vice
president of the state organization he
is a member of the executive board,
and this means that he must be on
the ground several days before the
opening session to help in the prelimi-
naries incident to all big conventions.
Then, too, he is a delegate-elect to
represent Local Iron Molders No. 6S,
also the local central body. In addi-
ton to all these duties he is usually
assigned to make the opening address,
representing officially the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, before the State
Firefghters' Association, which or
ganization holds its annual session In
the same city and at the same time
as the State Federation, and no doubt
he will again fill the assignment this
year as he is strong with the state
frefghters' organization. The local
molders' organization, numbering
about 600 members, gives Ogg the
maximum number of votes allowed
any one organization, which is 5, to-
gether with a vote for the centra
body, making six in all, gives him as
many votes as any other one delegate
to the convention, which gives him 6
position of great Importance in the
convention.

LABOR DAY DANCE

Those in charge of the dancing at

Weller at its head is going to fur
nish the heel and toe tickling jazzer-
ino stuff. All the traps that can be
devised for this kind of entertain
ment will be there and with artists
who know how to handle it. In addi-
ton, Hamilton's two most famous
song birds, Mabel Fox and Ellis Riley,
will be there to intersperse with the
latest song hits of the day Some

is that Friedman persists in opening
his store in the morning earlier and
remaining open later in the evening

-Dressnaaking Series No. -
Too Patterns Enough
for" Most Garments

IF you are a beginner it is prob
ably advisable to purchase a pat
- tern for each different type Of
dress to be made. But the expe-
rienced home dressmaker is able to
make practically any type of garment
from two patterns. One Of these is a
lining pattern, consisting of two pieces
back and front, and the other is a
kimono blouse pattern in which the
sleeves are cut in one with the body.
Add to these as many seperate
sleeve patterns as you desire, although
here again a little experience will
famiharize YOU with the fact that the
upper parts Of the sleeves are much
the same in any type and that the
lower part is easily adapted to suit
requirements.
In purchasing patterns be sure to
get your right size. Read the In
structions carefully and do not attempt
10 cut into your material until. first,
you are perfectly certain just what
each piece Of the pattern is and how
they all fit together and. secondly.
You have your model clearly in mind
and have laid the pattern on the ma
terial accurately. according to direc-
tons, and have treasured yourself
that you have sufficient cloth.
The average width of materials is
from q TO So inches for cottons, AZ
10 Sc for worsteds and 80 to AZ fc~
transparencies and silks. II, as is
apt to be the case where the sleeve

Wants Home

Dear Miss Lee: am II and considered
very nice-looking. I am very popular. Ny
mother died when I was 3 and since then
have been going from place to place.
I always have been used as a slave. Ny
father does nothing for me. I have been
writing to a fellow in Chicago for two
years. He is very nice-looking, but always
is talking about petting parties. Not long
ago I met a young fellow in Indianapolis
He is % and has been divorced two years
He wants to marry me. He is not nice
looking, but has an honorable position and
earns a good salary. I believe he will make
an excellent husband and I would like to
get a good home l have an old head on
youthful shoulders. Please advise me.
A BRIGHT-EYED ORPHAN.
Even though you have an "old
head" don't marry yet, and don't
marry just TO get a nome. There
must be love in it, or it will not be a
home. Surely you could go through
another year or two, knowing that
soon you would be free to go your
own way. You have friends, and
that goes a long way toward making
unpleasant home conditions seem
easier.
