DANCING OPENS
WAY To NURSE
FOR FAME
Clever High School Girl Pre-
fers White Service Uniform
to Ballet Skirt

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. L.
Jane Slowik is dancing her way
INTO a hospital. She aspires to
become a trained nurse. But it
takes q two-year high school edu-
cation to enter a training school.
And even in this free country it
takes money to go to school.
That's the reason Jane leaves
the Towson High School at 8
o'clock every afternoon and boards
3 street car for Baltimore, six
miles away. From 4:30 to $50
o'clock she dances at a downtown
moving theater. She gets paid
for doing it.
Tame is the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Felix Slowik. She was
born in Baltimore, but now lives
In Towson. Her father is a tailor.
She felt the first stirring OF the
nurse ambition a year ago. She has
never studied nursing, but she likes
preferring anaesthetics and
thermometers to spotlights and
aesthetics. What is the fluttering
ballet skirt of a premiere danseuse
%. the starched white of head
nurse?
All this she reasoned out last
year when she graduated from the
seventh grade Of the Towson State
Normal School.
Almost Immediately she consult
ed hospital authorities and learned
that two-year high school course
was a requirement for admittance
to a nurses training school. She
eaid:
Father and mother didn't
want me to dance, but needed
the money for clothes and school
expenses and things. So they let
ne do it temporarily

COLONEL MITCHELL WILL
HAVE HEARING SOON

Washington. - Col. William Nit
chells latest criticism of the admin
istration's air service policy was re-
ferred to the Inspector general of the
army for investigation and report.
The action of the war department
will not be determined until this re-
port has been received. Should grounds
be found for disciplinary action, Act
ing Secretary Davis then will decide
whether court-martial proceedings
shall be instituted.
Major General Helmick, the inspec-
general, presumably will call upon
Colonel Mitchell for the facts. On
receipt Of statement from the colonel
that he did make the charges against
army and navy officers contained in
the statement issued at San Antonio,
Saturday, General Helmick will be in
position to formulate his recommen-
dations.
The action of Major General Hines,
the chief-of- staff, in referring the
matter to General Helmick, is in line
with routine procedure. Major Cen
eral John A. Hull, Judge advocate
general of the army, probably also
will be consulted. 1t appears prob
able that several days will elapse be-
fore there is a final decision.

MAKING IMPROVEMENTS

The Snowflake Canning company
started work last week in its new
quarters located on the D. c. Smith
property near the Apache railway.
The canning company recently in
stalled new gasoline burner pressure
cooker which will help considerable in
the cooking of the canned goods and
insure them from spelling in the cans.
The new pressure cooker has a capac-
ity of about rs cans an hour and will
enable them to turn out near 500 cans
of first class canned goods each day
when at full capacity.
The Snowflake variety of canned
goods needs no introduction in this
county and with the new improve
ments the grade of goods turned out
will be hard to match.
In addition to the new pressure
cooker they have installed running
water in the building.
The work this year has been put
