THE TRAINED NURSE
Brooklyn Eagle)

An amazing indictment of the trained nurse is published in the Medical Review of Reviews. The profession of nursing is an horora- ble one and it's repute is not affect ed by abuse of this character. Doubtless it includes many mem bers who are inefficient and to whom in a measure at least some of the criticisms made by the Medi- cal Review of Reviews might apply. No profession is 100 per cent per feet in it's membership. But the nursing profession averages highly because the standards of training are high in the institutions from which nurses are graduated. Grant ed that the cost of a trained nurse in the home is heavy tax upon many limited purses, it must be re- membered that the nurse las no guarantee If steady employment; she must maintain living quarters of her own whether she oc .upies them or not, anj sne must provide fer her future as well as for her occasional periods of idleness by saving. The attack made upon her by the Medical Review of Reviews requires no ( elaborate reply.

Attalla Depo: Case (Cadcdon T;r,o~ RIo,N

The Attalla depot case again comes into the limelight. The pub lie service commission has asked a rehearing of the case before the state supreme court. The real ob- ject of the request is to determine the authority of the commission to order railroad to build new sta ton. If it is decided that the con- mission has not the authority Sena- tor lnzer has stated that he will in- troduce a bill into zee legislature which would give the commission that power. If that body has not the authority now, it should cer- tainly be given it as soon as possi- ble. When station becomes ab- solutely unfit for n-e as the ,Attalla station has. there should be some way to force the road to build a new one. Repairs Wi not serve the purpose. There are too many loop holes through which the road can dodge the issue. If repairs aro all that is needed, then let repairs be ordered, but if new building is needed it should be built. Patrons of a railroad are entitled to, a de- cent station as well as to safe tSairis in which to ride.

Strong pleas were made that equal oppor tunity be given to children of all schools, rural schools especially needing more gen. erous treatment. It was urged that wealth wherever found be challenged to support these schools. Throughout the conference of these educators the keenest interest was manifested in the proper provision for the rural schools and for the schools in the poorer communities. Education costs great deal more than most states and most communities have put into it. Always it has been found worth far more than it has cost

BY SERVANTS, FOR SERVANTS lNew York Telerano\

Under the name of L'Escalier de Service, or Servants Stairway, a journal has been started in Paris written by and for the 250,O0O male and female domestics of the metropolis. It is plain that this has great possibilities if the editors only have the courage to live up to their opportunities. If no man is hero to his valet it is not likely that any woman is a heroine to her lady's maid. Forain. the great caricatur- ist, has given great deal of atten- tion to the relations of master and man, mistress and maid, and has suggested frequently that there is in France certain condescension on the part of downstairs to upstairs. No doubt the new journal will show pretty clearly whether or not this view is justified.

Although may not look as if I ever want to eat, l rave for food at home at night; and there's one thing can't be beat-the pesky pest who comes to call and sits and sits and talks from Spring to Fall and c:lews the neighbors all to bits. And as she swings tireless chin l sit and nod and yearn, and hunger for some fodder-and my meat be- gins to burn ask her faintly will she stay, she calmly answers no, and still she sticks around and talks another hour or 50. And then when it has grown so late she finally says adeu, the meal is cold surely hate the pests who stick like glue.-Ru Theda.

A REAL AMERICAN

6
 The new one-cent stamps will bear the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, who was porn PIT years ago, was the first postmaster gen eral. If there ever was typical" American, it was Franklin. Frank lin, in what Matthew Arnold once called his victorious good sense,' is the most exact representative we know, in his point of view and his limitations, of the American spirit. Unassuming, humorous, energetic, keen, courageous, serviceable, provident, forethoughtful-he was all of these. He always put his duty to his country ahead of any duty to himself. But with that eX- ception he neglected no opportunity to advance his own interest, rightly believing that society can not be pushed, but must asways be pulled forward. He was honest without sentimentality, energetic without fussiness, and businesslike without contempt for theory. He was di- rect in his own speech, and action, but he understood the psychology of the constitutionally reserved and indirect. He had his standards of the beautiful and the picturesque; they were low, but they remained steady. And he was thrifty. It is appropriate that his portrait should be on the one-cent stamps; for he could make penny go as far as anybody,

Senator Thinks It Over

Senator Underwood. as he took passage for two-montfs' soiourn in Europe, allowed 1t to be known that he had been impressed by the widespread discussion of his can- didacy for the democratic presiden- tial nomination and he promises to weigh the matter in all It's bearings and to make definite announce ment of a decision when he re- turns.

The Motorcycle Fienc

The motorcycle fiend is bad; his soul is made of shoddy. He's sired by Satan, I am sure, and damned by everybody. He keeps the babies in our block in a state of frantic terror, and if they 'scape kill ing shock it must be through an error. racket breeds distraction; explosions mark his progress like battery in action. At midnight's holy hour he speeds on his unholy revel, while sleeping citizens awake and mutter, "Oh, the devl'' He breaks the speed laws all to smash; you only hear him coming-saen he goes by you like flash, his engine madly hum- ming. His klaxon hee-haws like a mule, his gasoline smells awful, his conducts governed by no rule except that it's un- lawful.
 He chases people up tree and makes them jump and scurry, and day and night it seems that he is always in hurry. A fiendish smile is on his face, unfeeling and unheeding-he is not going any place-he simply dotes on speedng.-Stanwood 
 We have often wondered at the peculiar fascination weighing-scales have for the average person. We know of one free scales on which young, old and middlc-aged; corpulent, lean and even skinny, satisfy their anxiety as to their weight.
 The fat want to become thin, and the thin fat. The comfortably fleshy wants to learn if he is holding his own, while the youth desires to add to his weight and stature. All in all, he who offers opportunity for the public to weigh itself is public bene- factor.
 We once knew man who tipped the scales at 370 pounds
 He was man of great weight in his com munity.

Stand By Home Move (Dothan Eagle)

It has always been our idea that when one begins knocking his own town, and offers nothing as a sub stitute that is better, it is time for him to hunt another place. Along that line, the following from the AL bany Herald makes good reading: Men who are given to moving about, changing their citizenship from one town, county or state to another, rarely accumulate anything worth while in either financial or moral sense. The old adage, "A rolling stone gathers no moss," is as true today as it ever was., Men who re- main identified with a community for only year or two are of little worth to the community in which they locate. But whenever a man becomes dissatisfied with a town where he is making his home he ought to move-not only for the good of the town, but for his own good as well; for dissatisfied man will not accomplish anything for either himself or the community in which he lives.

Reviewing Reviews By REV. H. C. oSFERMAN

If you have a good mind, use it comprehensively.
 To think around a subject, and beyond it, is what is really needed.
 The larger your scope of the grasp of things, the bigger your influence will be.
 For a real comprehension of things, think to the uttermost cor ners, and then beyond.
 The more you reach out, the greater will be your results.
