single nurse FOR
10000 Residents
Visiting Nurse Association Is In
portant Factor in Civic Life

One nurse for every 10000 people
IL what the Visiting Nurses associa-
tion 10 ablo TO provide today. With
sickness all over tho city, hundreds
of people recovering from fu,l grip
and other ailments which follow m
travelling companions OF hard win
ter only six nurses are available for
the ontiro city OF 10000 people.
Upwards Of q dozen calls day are
mado by each OF these nurses, caring
for tho sick In homes where nurses
care Is needed and where there are
not sufficient funds to provide a resi-
dent nurse. aiding In starting UNDER
nourished children along the road to
health, teaching mothers how to raise
healthy babies instead of sickly, puny
youngsters, etc.
All this comes within the scope Of
the Visiting Nurse. 1t Is the Visiting
Nurse who comes into the homes,
rolls up the sleeves Of her neat blue
uniform with its white cross, and
proceeds to put things ship shape
when mother is.ill.
Many instances are recited by the
nurses of cases where the visit has
probably saved a human life. A new
baby has arrived. Father must work.
The nurse finds mother and child In
need of care. The fire Is low. A
small boy or girl vainly strives to do
the family wash under directions from
!. the mother in bed. The nurse
out the patients, sees that
the fire is working and reports condi-
tons to the proper agencies. The
mothr is given instructions in the care
of children. the older children are
taught the value of a milk diet in
preference to that of coffee and tea
and another family is started on the
road to health.
The certificate of incorporation of
the Visiting Nurse association, states
the purpose of the association as fol-
: lows:
ITO provide competent nurses to
visit the homes of such persons as
do not need or are not able to secure
the services of resident nurse; to
give instruction in sanitation and the
care of the sick in order that the
services of physicians and nurses may
be more efficient: to furnish by loan
or otherwise necessities for the sick !!

In addition to the other work the |
association conducts clinics at So Cen. |!

advice and instructions for their pro-
per care and treatment is given. Card |
index reports on these children are
kept filed in the offices and the pro-

The association renders free serv-

as much of this as possible when she |

Santiago, Chile, March %. (By As
ISOLATED Press)-Expectation that the
fifth Pan-American conference which
opens here Sunday will reach an

after a discussion the question is like

Suggestions are heard that this con-

stead Of Ave and that meanwhile an
armament truce might possibly be
agreed to by Argentina. Brazil and

THE WRONG METHOD.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Members OF the New York Molly
Pitcher Club gave sorry exhibit
ton when they INDUCED in Kissing

to throw the prestige OF his high
office into the agitation for repeating
the eighteenth amendment.
As TO the good taste and manners
OF this demonstration. the members
OF the New York Women's Club
must me left to Judge for themselves
the proprlety OF such a proceeding.
Considered in its political value. the
fashion of making concerted drives
on the Federal executive as well az
on State executives. can only be re-
garded as poor tactics.
Such performances lend color to
the charges made by prohibitionists
that the agitation against prohibit
tion. in spite OF much hue and cry
IS not making any real Roadway in
impressing public opinion. Bonn
harding executive offices with pro
tests means applying pressure in
the wrong direction. Repeal or
modification OF prohibition rests with
Congress, and when anti-prohibition-
lists make spiteful attacks on execu-
tives they merely incur the suspicion
Of having failed to impress their
views on public opinion as reflected

PROSPERITY ABoUNpING.

From the Washington Post.
Even a casual glance at a rep
resentative newspaper is enough to
show that business throughout the
country Is IN very healthy condi-
ton. When from the financial
pages such headings as Reserve
banks reveal better credit position"
Good response to heavy crop OF
record highs for the season."
Prices OF wheat move upward" and
Survey shows large reduction in
waste in American industry" spring
strlkingly to the eye on the same
day the conclusion is inevitable.
When one gets below the headline
to the body OF any of the reports
the impression o. renewed and
Astounding prosperity Is heightened.
Take. for example, arr analysis OF
the motor car industry. One finds
it hard to realize that at the end
OF the year 1922 there were 1851
376 automobiles anc motor trucks in
use on the streets and roads of the
United States. This astounding fig
ure means a moto- vehicle Of some
sort Tor every nine persons in the
country. There was not a single
state but had more cars and trucks
in 1922 than in 1921. The aggre-
gate gain was 17.6 per cent, but
the District OF Columbia had more
than double this increase. with 3S.4
per cent. Present indications are
that 1929 will overtop even the high
record OF 1922.
While these statistics attest a
marvellous growth in the automobile
industry. they also reflect state of
prosperity among the Individual
citizens. When the initial outlay on
an automobile or truck and the cost
Of It's unkeep are borne in mind it
is obvious that the nation which can
afford TO buy and run so many mo-
tor vehicles must be made up OF
citizens who, in the aggregate, are
comfortably fixed.

"CTTTZEN'' BERGDOLL.
m the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
In a letter 10 friends in Germany
Grover Bergdoll writes from Swift
zerland that he intends to remain in
that country until amnesty for po-
litical and military offenses is de-
clared in the United States. The
letter concludes I'D like to add I
am still an American citizen"
Americans would Ike to knew
from Bergdoll when he was ever an
American citizen in anything but
name. The contempt with which
they regard him is not the passing
enmity OF war time toward one OF
alien enemy blood. Bergdoll evaded
the fundamental obligation of citi-
zenshlp, and he added to that offense
by his insulting and contemptuous
attitude toward the country whose
benefits he, as a citizen in name,
enjoyed.
Americans know he was not actu-
ated even by a militant patriotism
for the land OF his father. or he
would have gone to Germany before
he did and for another purpose than
Is claim sanctuary.
II he thinks that declaration OF
amnesty will in any way affect the
repulsion which this country feels
for him and his kind he will learn
his mistake should presumption ever
prompt him to take up residence In
this country again. At bottom his
actions are based on the belief that
money carries with It the right for
its possessor TO accept the law OF no
man but himself Such a man Is

MOVING A PEOPLE

FROM the New OTk 1eIdiu.
An exodus-no voluntary return
from slavery but a compulsory re-
moval OF more than a million peo-
ple-is to take place in eastern Eu-
rope. These are the first fruits OF
victorious Nationalist Turkeys re-
turn TO Europe. Such is the answer
to triumphant Turkey of the i'm
potent statesmen of Christian civil
zation gathered in conference at
Lausanne.
Turkey having determined TO
drive some 500, 900 Greeks from her
possessions and throw them back
into Greece, the Greeks have in
sisted that the 100000 or 500. 900
Turks in Greece must return to Tur-
key so as to make room for the de-
ported Greeks. The decision Of the
conference does not affect the 2O0.-
600 Greeks in Constantinople and
the 900. 900 Turks in western Thrace.
They are to be left in peace and will
70 doubt act as hostages for mutual
good behavior.
The barbarity Of such a solution Is
admitted by Western diplomats, who
however, since no one wishes to
eght about the point, declare apollo
getically that it Is the only thing to
be done.
Efficient supervision OF the trans
port OF these peoples may do much
to mitigate but It cannot prevent
the suffering caused by the uproot-
ing of hundreds of thousands of per-
sons from homes that have been
their families for generation after
generation, by the ruin OF their
farms and businesses, and by what
amounts not to repatriation but to
perpetual exile.
This suffering is but part OF the
price that Europe has TO pay for the
presence OF the Turk within her
borders. II It Is also part OF the
price that diplomacy is paying to
secure Turkish acceptance of allied
proposals with regard to Mosu1 and
the capitulations, then the price is
indeed too high.
