tiOnal Banner For Good Work

When the Delaware Chapter of
the American Red Cross begins its
annual roll call on Armistice Day,
November IL, the junior organiza-
ton will be of great aid in the work.
Red Cross Sunday in all churches
throughout the State will begin the
1928 campaign of the Red Gross,
which has had unusual demands
upon it this year. 1t has fed and
housed thousands in the areas
stricken by hurricanes. The Della
ware unit of juniors has received a
national banner for its good work.
Committees will be appointed to
take charge of various phases of
the Red Cross campaign next week.
Complete organization for the drive
will begin Immediately after election
day.
L. o. Crosby, of Picayune, Miss,
made possible the banner for the
best enrollments in the Junior Red
Cross. He was great admirer of
the Juniors because of the special
work they did in flood relief in the
Valley. DR.. H. V. Hollo-
way has arranged for all school chill
dren in the Delaware to see the ban
ner sometime during the school year.

Late Returns Increase Sweep Of
Republican Ticket In The East,
West And South.
WINS FORTY STATES
Smith Captures Massachusetts,
Rhode Island And Six Dixie
States.
(By the Associated Press)

Closing tabulatiOns of Tuesday S
election have continued to reinforce
the tremendous popular vote by
which Herbert Hoover and Charles
Curtis have amassed majorities in
States, having 444 electoral units,
and left Alfred E. Smith and Joe T..
Robinson, leading in others, having
only 'eighty-seven.
The late returns have served only
to emphasize the immensity of the
Republican sweep that embraced the
entire West and most of the East
and also extended into four tradi-
tionally Democratic colonies of the
South - Virginia, North Carolina,
Florida and Texas.
With less than a scattered quarter
of the Nations precincts remaining
uncOunted, the Hoover majOrities
have rolled up in forty States. Smith
held the lead in eight others, six of
them in the South and two in the
East, Massachusetts and Rhode Is
land. Only Alabama, Georgia, South
Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Louisiana in Dixie remained definite
ly under the Democratic banner.
Hoover Lead 100000
When more than three-quarters of
the popular vote had been counted
to a total exceeding 30,00O,0O0,
Hoover was pulling away from
Smith with a margin of approx
mately 100000. By the same man
date with which it selected a Re-
publican administration the elector-
ate likewise increased that party's
majOrities in the two Houses of
Congress and gave Republicans a
lead in most of the thirty-four Gu
bernatOrial contests.
Following a trend established ear
ly on election night, the Hoover ad-
vantage swung steadily along in ev-
cry section of the country. 1t soon
brought from Governor Smith a con-
cession of his defeat, to be followed
by his announcement that after a
quarter of a century in politics he
expected never to run for office
again.
Expressing his gratitude to those
who supported his cause, the Cover
nor said the American people have
rendered their decision; 1 am a
Democrat and 1 firmly believe in the
rule of the majority"
At his California home, Mr.. Hoov-
er relaxed in the elation of victory
and prepared an expression of his
gratitude to the public.

cal map painted at the polls is best |

URGES PRECAUTION
AGAINST WOODS FIRES
State Forestry Department Wants
More Funds 70 Protect Timber

Carl P. Fatinger, assistant state
forester, calls attention to the time
when the fall fire season will open,
emphasizing the fact that the rainy
weather the past summer has caused
a heavy growth of weeds and leaves
and when these die and drop, they
will make fine tinder for fire.
He reports that 80 volunteer fire
companies have formally offered TO
cooperate with the State Forestry
Department in the prevention and
extinction of forest fire in Delaware.
He claims that the present allot-
ment of state and government funds
is inadequate to protect the 100000
acres of woodland in Delaware and
in order to alter this condition it
will be necessary to show the total
annual loss and the actual need for
more funds.
The State Forestry Department
has distributed forest fire report
forms and has asked the volunteer
fire companies to furnish such data
as is possible, on the various forest,
brush and grass fires in their re-
spective vicinities. Up to the present
time forest fire reports have been
received from only twelve fire COM
panies. This gives the department
less than a fifty per cent estimate
of the number of and the damage
done by forest fires throughout the
state since January 1, 1928.

After the princess training lit lasted
three and one-hah years at st. Mary's)
she took up work at two special hos
pitfalls, one for women. The appoint
ment of her husband, Prince Arthur,
eldest son Of the Duke of Connaught,
as Governor South Africa, took her
out of England for couple of years,
during which time she had to give up
nursing.
At Cape Town she went to open a
new hall with her husband. At the
ceremony was a railway worker, who
when he saw the princess come out on
the platform was amazed He had
been patient at st. Mary's. and had
been nursed by the princess. with
whom. as Nurse Common, he had ex-
changed many friendly joke. He
now learned for the first time that
Nurse Conner was a member of the
English royal family. and wife of the
governor of the colony. He wrote to
tell the princess of his surprise. and to
thank her for the attention she had
once given him.
When the princess returned to Eng
land she took up nursing again, and
then had bad breakdown which kept

so. The fact Is that a nurse, to be of
any use to her patient. must overcome
her own feelings, and it often Is
tremendous effort to do so.
Praise for the Police.
THE nurse who becomes greatly dis
tressed at some distressing scene is
really thinking of her own feelings, and
not of her patients, and IN that sense
the nurse Is selfish. One of the first
things a nurse has to learn is to forget
herself. her own feelings. and to think
only of her patient and how she can
be helpful"
At this time the princess was good
deal in contact with the police, who
brought in casualty cases.
The police said the princess,
would often help in dressing pa
tents injuries, assisting to tie UP band
ages, etc. found them kind and
sympathetic, and sometimes very pa
tent"
Of the hardships hospital nurses
suffer and upon their life in general
the princess had interesting remarks
to make. She is especially we'll quail
fled to speak on nurses hardships.
for she had bad breakdown in health
for three years as the result of being
overworked.
THE conditions of an English hos
pital nurses life today" said the prin-
cess, ARE rather better than some
years ago, but there still remains much
to be done before they can be re-
garded as anything like perfect.
Plea for Shorter Hours.
"A nurses hours should be shorter
her food better and her pay higher.
But in the present financial state of
the London hospitals it is not possible
The reputation of the English nurse
is very high all over the world and
deservedly so. She merits better con-
ditions of life than she has.
I'm the hospital men like her If she
is pretty women If she is gossip, but
when, after years of devoted work, she
has breakdown, she too often is for
gotten. That ought not to be-"
The princess was often asked anus
ing questions by her patients. One
was, do you give every patient q
BATH" which seemed to suggest that
the questioner did not welcome bath
with great enthusiasm
No Fun Wearing a Uniform.
Another question was "1s it fun
wearing a uniform"
II have never seen any fun In wear
ing a uniform" the princess remarked.
London hospital uniforms we're de-
signed many years ago and have never
been altered. The intention of the
designers was. l think. to make nurses
as unattractive as possible. There
were times during my training when /
