BILLIARDS. SWEEP WEST.
Trains Delayed as High Winds Pile
Snow i'm Mountain Passes.

DENVER, November II @.-
Billiards that blanketed Montana,
Wyoming and Colorado with from
to Z inches of snow yester'
day had abated today as the storm
swept into Southwest, where sharp
drops in temperature turned rain to
sleet or snow at many points.
Rising temperatures were forecast
for the northern tier Of mountain
States today, while the mercury was
dropping in New Mexico, Kansas, the
Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma.
The snowfall, amounting to one and
a half inches in Denver, totaled 10
inches at Hoosier Pass, on the con-
tinental divide in northern Colorado
Freezing temperatures prevailed early
this morning in the Texas Panhandle:
Several Oklahoma points reported
temperatures in the lower S0s al
midnight, an average drop or ~ de-
grees since late yesterday afternoon.
Driven before high winds, the snow
hacked in railroad cuts in Montana
and Wyoming, delaying trains ano
hampering telegraph and telephone
service. No reports had been received
of live stock losses.
Snow flurries were forecast today
for Kansas and Missouri as the storm
worked to the northeast from the
panhandle district. Railroads re-
ported preparations had been made
to keep trains on schedule and unless
a storm Of blizzard intensity de-
ve,oped today in the Southwest trans
continental lines expected little
trouble,

pational therapy department of the
Naval Hospital to open at the Ma
tional Red Cross headquarters Thurs
day night. The proceeds from this
sale will all go to the veterans who
made the articles, and many of them
are suitable for Christmas gifts. The
public is invited to inspect the exhibit
and sale.

SISTERS ASK 100000.
Two Suits on File Four Years Face
PurnelI.

DETROIT, November II R).-Two
civil suits filed by sisters, each asking
S1OO 900 damages, have been on ME
in Circuit Court here nearly four years
against Benjamin Purnell, king OF
the House of David Colony at Benton
Harbor.
In January, 1923, Mrs. Ruth BAN
ford Reed, 20 years old, and her Sis
ter. Mrs. Gladys Bamford Rubel, ",
filed suits against Purnell, charging
acts of immortality, assault ana pat
terry and enforced marriage While they
were compulsory inmates at SIMON
the cult headquarters.
The girls suits were only two OF
a series started against King Ben and
the House of David in 1921, when
John w. Hansel former member OF
the colony, sued in Federal Court 1of
sS6 600. which he alleged he had IN
vested in the colony.
Revelations made in the Hansel trial
brought the State of Michigan into
the affair. resulting in the holding OF
a one-man grand jury investigation
in 1923. When the grand jury pre- De
started, the Bamford sisters went
into hiding Nelson, their attorney re-
fused to reveal their WHEREABOUTS aA"
was sentenced to 80 days in jail for
contempt.
The girls later testified.
More recently Mrs. Eliza Bamford,
mother of the sisters, became recon
ciled to their view. With Mr.. and Mrs.
Arthur Wright Of Benton Harbor,
colony members, she filed suit in Fed
eral Court at Grand Rapids asking
dissolution of the cult and $S5.0Oo dam
ages for loss of property.
The suit is pending.

hor is that members labor goes to the

VISITING NURSES
ASK FOR $4,000
Campaign Opens Today.
Demands Increase on Work
and Personnel Is Short.

The scope of it's activities hindered
by insufficient funds. the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society today launched
a campaign for $685. 900 with which
to complete it's 1927 budget.
This Is the first appeal made by
the society since its financial drive of
two years ago, and hearty response
is necessary if the organization is to
keep pace with the increased demands
for nursing service, according to the
board of managers.
The campaign for two-year budget
in 1924 had for it's objectives the ex-
pansion OF the nursing service to meet
the increased needs of the city, in
crease in staff nurses salaries to at
least approximate those of public
health nurses of the Health Depart
ment, and the opening of a new
branch in Southeast Washington.
Work Is Growing.
in February last year and now render
ed nursing service to all the South
east, including Anacostia and three
nursing districts north of East Capi.
tol street in the Northeast section
Of the city. A new educational
director and an assistant supervisor
have been added to the staff.
According to Miss Gertrude Fl.
Bowling, director of the society, the
original plan had been to open a
center in the Northeast section this
Autumn, but funds were not available
and the organization had to cut back
the budget by two nurses.
The growth of the work" stated
Miss Bowling today, "is shown by an
increase of 2,216 patients and $3.50
;~,t ~, No
year. A total of S8,504 visits to a
total of 1O,625 patients is the record
made by the organization last year
and the record in the first 10 months
of this year indicates an even great
er increase for 1926. How far we
can increase our work in Washing
ton depends upon our financial sup
port.
Staff Too Small.
I'VE have an increasing demand
for our nursing work from people
with moderate incomes who use our
delivery service, our hourly service
and our full pay service Our staff
while moderately increasing from
year to year, is not large enough to
do intensive health work in any given
area. With the influx of unusual
sickness, bedside care is carried at
the expense of the very basic educa-
tional and preventive sides OF the
work"
Analysis Of last years report shows
that 34,O83 visits were made to
acutely i'll patients suffering from
medical, surgical or communicable
conditions; 7,449 visits, including
tuberculosis and venereal disease
visits, were made to chronic patients
The maternity work represents two
ffths of the nursing work and to-
tai of 35.496 visits. Welfare visits
are listed as Silt, while miscellane-
o11s visits total 6,396.
