Then came the tragedy Of Smyrna
and the arrival Of refugees In Greece,
where the task Of organizing refugee
camps called for unremitting work.
OF all the sufferers in the refugee
camps OF Greece none appealed to the
sympathies Of Mrs. Heilman as did the
babies and children. Both In Greece
under the shadow of the Acropolis and
IN Siberia she became pioneer In in
fant welfare work, seeing that these
helpless little ones were protected and
teaching mothers better methods for
their care.
Aided Work In Greece.
Mrs. Heilman's services In the cause
Of nursing were not limited to Europe
during and after the war, although 1t
was there she won an international
reputation. In cooperation with the
Patriotic League of Greece she organ
lied child welfare work, and she also
assisted in organizing National Society
Of Nurses Of Greece.
A native of West Virginia, she re-
ceived her early education in private
schools OF that State and later was
graduated from the Johns Hopkins
Hospital for Nurses. There followed
work on the staff of the sanitorium at
Irudeau, N. Y, as educational secre-
tary OF the tuberculosis League of
Pittsburgh and as a visiting nurse and
social worker at Bound Brook, N. j. In
1917 she was assigned to the American
Red Cross Commission in Italy and re-
mained in Europe until July, 1928. Re-
turning to the States, she was assigned
by the Red Cross to Santa Domingo,
where she had marked success in
teaching home hygiene to the native
women. For several years she then
served the Red Cross in the field in
Florida, helping in the great hurricane
OF 1926; Georgia, New York State and
Kentucky.
Between the time she left Johns
Hopkins and her first nursing expert
ence and her return to nursing work
Mrs. Heilman spent a year in South
America with her husband. In the
Southern countries she saw q great
deal Of the homes of the poor. This
gave her a vision OF a much needed
missionary work, not in the field of
religion, but in hygiene. Later she
found, when widowed, her opportunity
to put into practice her vision of hy-
glen1c missionary work-and this in
her own country.
Medal Proposed in 1907.

Crimea had done 50 much to inspire
Henri Dunant, the Swiss who brought
about the signing Of the International
Red Cross treaty in 1864.
The history of the NIGHTINGALE Medal
Is Of special interest. To return to its
founding at the Washington Confer
ence in 1912, the funds for the media,
were to be contributed by the various
national societies Of the Red Gross In
memory Of Miss Nightingale's distin-
guished services in the cause of nursing.
for 1t was she who raised nursing to an
honored profession with special train
ing schools. This conference limited
the number OF medals to an annual
award OF six. but provided that the
number could be increased to a dozen
IN tne event OF great war. OF course,
likely to happen. In fact, economists
were then .proclaiming that no nation
could possibly carry on modern war
more Than three months without going
bankrupt. But the war did happen
only Two years later and gave the Red
Cross the greatest opportunity ever
recorded In history for humanitarian
service.
With the Nightingale Medal went a
parchment diploma, setting forth the
acnievements Of the nurse in question.
Inese achievements were TO be care

designated by each national society of
the Red Cross, then the whole would

Candidates Are Limited.
It was decided that no national Red
Cross society could present the name of
more than one candidate yearly except
IN time Of war. However, no society
was Obliged to propose a candidate nor
could the committee grant a medal IL
the claims Of the candidates seemed
insufficient. o1
Miss Nightingale received this honor
In her own lifetime as mentioned. II
was the representative of the Hum
garlan Red Cross who in 1907 proposed
tne mccall as means of paying homage
10 her, the heroine of the Crimea. But
1t was at the 1912 conference that an
important amendment was proposed by
the American Red Cross. This was that
the medal should be reserved for women
who had received regular training as
nurses. Later 1t was decided that these
nurses should all be graduates of nursing
schools. At this time nursing schools
were rarity In Continental Europe,
particularly in Central Europe and in

such countries the term nurse" was
very loosely applied to volunteers who
assisted in sanitary work In any ca.
pactty, without regard to professional
training. Therefore, In restricting the
medal to graduate nurses, the Red Cross
helped to raise nursing standards.
1t was because Of the undeveloped
stage OF nursing In Italy at the time
for since then Mussolini has greatly
advanced nursing as q profession-shat
the Italian Red Cross asked the Ameri-
can Red Gross to assist, shortly after
the armistice, in establishing public
health nursing In Italy. Schools were
founded at Florence, Rome and Genoa
to teach public health nursing, and Mrs
Heilman became an instructor in Rome,
the Eternal City. Serbia and Greece
then received the impress of the Ameri-
can nurses gift for organization and
her contagious zeal for community I1y-
giene. In Serbia Mrs. Heilman was put
in charge Of hospital in Monastir,
near the Albanian frontier. A Russian
doctor who had served with the Serbian
army had charge Of the medical service.
The personnel consisted Of Serbian boys
and girls, several Of whom had learned
bit OF English at one Of the American
mission schools.
Aided Child Welfare.
In April, 1920. Mrs. Heilman was as
signed to Athens, to assist in the well
fare work for children being initiated.
The work was developed at the request
OF and in cooperation with the Greek
government, and its success Is ascribed
by the Greeks to Mrs. Heilman, and by
her to the high character Of the Grecian
co-workers, who, upon the withdrawal
OF the American Red Cross from that
country, presented her with parch-
ment.

Of medals to Mrs. Heilman and the

TO BE DEMANDED

mediate recognition of the local build
ing laborers' union and eventually de-
mand rate for building laborers of
not less than $3.75 a day, it was learn
ed today.
According to the notice served on the
contractors. there will be no effort to
change wage scales now being paid
on existing contracts, but on all new
contracts a rate of 62la cents per hour
will be demanded where laborers work
a 6-hour day, and a rate of As cents
an hour where an 8-hour day is effec-
tive.
The contractors were notified that
Local No. 643 of the building laborers'
union has been admitted as a regular
member of the Building Trades Coun-
Gil. and that 1t will be given the same
cooperation and support as the other
building trades unions.
The notice demanded that workers
at picocHt cHlpioycu, WHO are not mem-
bers of the union. be given an oppor-
tunity to join. After that has been
