12,145 CALLS MADE
BY VISITING NURSES
Director Bowling Tells Charities
Conference 2,124 Patients
Were Attended.
REPORTS FOR TWO WEEKS
Declares More Nurses Are Needed
Urgently.

There were 12,145 visits made by
I the corps of the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society during January and
February, Miss Gertrude H Bowling,
director, told members of the fifth
district conference, Associated Char
tiles, meeting at SIG 1 street north
east, yesterday afternoon. She said
that in that time there were 2.124
patients visited. making a general
average of about six visits per pa
tient.
All visits were made, it was point
ed out, by an organization which in
cludes besides its directing force,
only twenty eight regular and four
student nurses. The speaker ex-
planned that of the total number of
visits. there were 2,040 made in north
east Washington.
MISS Bowling told Of the policies
of the society and how the nurses en-
deavor to promote not only physical
but mental welfare in every house
they vlsit-explaining that an un-
healthy mind is usually lust as bad
and often much worse than an un-
healthy body
This service is rendered at a mini
mum cost, she explained. This charge,
Miss Bowling amplified, keeps the pa
that they are objects of charity.
More Nurses Needed.
An increase in the number of
nurses is needed weekly, she said, ex-
planning that some of those now in
the service have almost more work
than they are able to do. An imme-
date increase in the force would be
of great advantage, she emphasized.
The force is about double the size of
two years ago, it was said.
Miss Bowling deplored the effects
of social diseases, and stated that
more adequate laws and means of
handling them are needed, that those
infected might be properly treated,
and the rest of the public safe
guarded.
Social diseases, she said, will be
easy, to handle as soon as 1t is real
lied that they are common and that
they should be treated in the same
manner is any other contagious dis
ease.
A discussion of individual cases in
need of financial assistance and ad-
vice from the board constituted the
rest OF the program. Rev. G. r. Stauf-
fer, president of the Fifth District

LEGISLATORS WIVES
TO AID CATHEDRAL
Meeting Called to Form Congress
sional Committee by Mrs.
Pepper.
BISHOP FREEMAN SPEAKS
Declares Turmoil on Hill Stresses
Need of Religion.

Organization of congre ssion al
committee of the National Cathedral
at Mount St Alban was consid cred
at meeting largely attended by
wives Of members of Congress at the
home Of Mrs. William Phillips, wife
of the first assistant secretary of
State, in the Cathedral Close today.
The meeting was called by Mrs
George Wharton Pepper, as chairman
of the committee in process of forma-
tion, and which is expected to exert
a wide influence upon the future of
the Washin gton Cathedral in relation
to it's building program, as we'll as
upon the promotion of religion, edu-
cation and charity, in accordance with
the charter granted by Congress in
1893.
Addresses were made by Rt. Rev.
James f. Freeman, D. D., Bishop of
Washington, and the Very Rev. G.
c. F. Bratenahl, dean Of the cathedra
Dean Bratenahl outlined the history
of the cathedral and sketched the
future building program. He took
the opportunity of answering those
who have doubted the possibility of
building the cathedral within five
years by pointing out that St. Sophia 8
was built in five years and eleven
months after it was planned, in the
sixth century, and there was no rea-
son for doubling that the cathedral
would be completed in the scheduled
time.
Bishop Freeman stated that the
state of the country and the present
turmoil on Capitol Hill served to
emphasize the need of a revival of
sane religion, a return to the basic
principles of Christianity and devel-
opment of character to meet the sit
uation that threatens the destruction
of the United States.
We must have in Washington"
he said, "a building that is a witness
to God commensurate with the i'm
portance of religion in our national
life. The cathedral will be more than
a silent witness to God, and in pur-
suance of this aim the College of
Preachers, recently announced, will
be opened in the Cathedral Close this
summer. Aside from these factors,
there are worthy elements of inf1u-
ence upon art and architecture and
also the element of sepulchre for the
noted dead, which make it essential
that the cathedral be completed in
this generation"
After the meeting the congressional
committee made a tour and inspec-
tion of the cathedral and the grounds.

POLICE PROTECTION
 SUBJECT OF HEARING
Many Alarms at BeSSe Leland Store to Be Investigated

Chairman D. l.. Dunn has called a special meeting of the police board for Friday, May 2s. at which time a hearing will be given to police officers who according to the report of w. w. Leland, have not been giving pro- per protection to Main street stores during the past few months.
 It is rule in the police depart ment that both the front and rear doors Of business places shall be tried" to ascertain if they are prop er'y locked at least once during the poIiceman's tour of duty at night. Ac cording to the complaint made to the police board by Mir. Lelar~ the doors on his store were tested only a few times during a period of several rights in which he had detecti, es working in the building. He has agreed to provide the bo@d with written reports in proof of his state ments and has also promised to have the detectives present at tho ha2ring.
 MT. Leland takes issue with tiie po- lice department in its claim that the ringing of the burglar alarm at his store early Thursday morning on two occasions was due to an electrical or mechanical defect in the system. An inspection of the system, he told a Herald man today, proved that it was in perfect working order and could not have been set off except by some human agency.
 c. K. Spring Of the Spring and Buckley company which installed the alarm presented a similar argument. Mir. Spring claimed the system is as near perfection as an electrical de- vice can be made and as his examina- ton of the apparatus following the sounding of several alarms at the store showed no defects of any kind, he too Is positive that human agencies were responsible for releasing the mechanism which started the bells in operation.
 Police officers claim they arrived at the store within a few second of the sounding of the alarm yesterday morning and they feel certain a burg lar would not have an opportunity 10 make a getaway without being heard or observed by one of them. They have reported similar conditions on number Of other occasions when the alarm went off. The alarm has frightened off burglars at least twice, evidence of the use of jimmies on the doors having been found after the bells brought the police to the scene.
 Mr. Leland claims that the busi- ness section of New Britain is under policed and in addition 10 presenting his case to the police board regard Ing the alleged failure of officers 10 try his doors he will suggest that ad- ditional officers he detailed for Main street work.
