DELANO WEEK PROGRAMS
HONOR MEMORY WAR NURSE

Honoring the memory of Jane A.
Delano, famous World War nurse,
Local Committees on Red Cross
Nursing Service, in scores of towns
fittingly observed her birthday an
niversary on March IL, with Delano
Week programs during which time
they enrolled graduate nurses who
will be ready to serve the Red Cross
in any emergency.
This nursing service, which Miss
Delano helped to create, serves as
the official reserve of the United
States Army and Navy Nurse corps.
Enrollments throughout the Paci-
fic Area were directed by Miss
Rena Haig, assistant national direc-
tor of Red Cross Nursing Service.
Suitable programs affording op-
portunity for assemblages were held
by many of the local committees.
The first of series was held at
Highland Hospital, Oakland, on Fri
day, March 10, when students from
five schools of nursing in Oakland
and Berkeley gathered. A Delano
memorial talk was given by Miss
Eugenia Klinefelter, assistant to
the director of nursing, from the
Pacific Branch office, San Fran
cisco.
Graduates and senior students of
schools of nursing will hold pro-
gram at Fresno, March IT, at which
time they will be addressed by Miss
Haig. A home hygiene round table
held by four schools of nursing at
Salt Lake City featured a Delano
luncheon March IL. Miss Gladyce
Badger, nursing field representa-
tive, was the speaker.
Miss Delano Joined the Red Cross
staff in 1912 to direct its nursing
activities, having previously been
with the United States Army Nurse
Corps. She died in France April Is,
1919, stricken in line of war duty,
loved by nurses and honored by the
people of every flag for her I'M
stinted devotion. A biographer re-
cords the fact that when once asked
why her uniform was not adorned
with some of the many decorations
with which she had been honored,
she replied, What do these rib
hons mean to me? All want is the
love of the nurses"
This famous nurse at one time
served at Bisbee, Arizona. While
nursing miners and their families
when they were cut off from every
normal source of medical and sani-
tary care, she was inspired with the
idea of making health education
available to all communities. In
her will she made provision for fl
nancially supporting activities of
itsnerant nurses, who today are
known as Delano nurses, and whose
services as guardians of the public
health benefit many western states.

The steamer Admiral Evans was
wrecked when she struck a rock at
Hawk Inlet, March 8. 1918. The
Princess Sophia went to the vessels
aid and took the mail, hand bag
gage, passengers and crew to Ju-
neau. The crew were sent south on
the Sophia and Westward passen
gers were sent out on the Alameda.
The accident was caused by the
shifting of Buoy No. 3 from reg
ular position which caused the
Evans to sheer too far to one side.
She struck two glancing blows on
the port side forward. At once full
speed was ordered and she was
headed for the beach approximately
two miles away. She started to fill
at a rapid rate and was we'll down
by the head when she was beached.
The oil tanks on the steamer burst
and the baggage and the entire
cargo was saturated with fuel oil
from the tanks.

BARBOUR FEARS
FOR DISTRICT
BOXING BILL
New Jersey Senator Believes
SChaaf'S Death Would Hurt
Its Chances Now

The recent death of Ernie
Schaaf, prominent heavyweight
pugilist, would cause a reaction
in the Senate which might defeat
the District boxing bill if it Is
called up for action now, Sena.
tod w. Warren Barbour CRO, Of
New Jersey, a staunch advocate
of the bill, believes.
Barbour, former amateur heavy
weight champion of the United
States, said today it would be in
advisable to bring up the meas.
ure because of a possible "psy.
Geological reaction" from the
Schaaf death.
The bill, which would authorize
amateur boxing in the District
but would prohibit prizefighting,
was passed by the House early
this week and reported favorably
by the Senate District Com
mittee.
The bill was introduced in the
House by Representative Fred A.
Hartley, jr., also a New jersey

STATE AUDITOR
To BE CALLED
IF NEEDED
Method of Procedure to Be
Determined as Next Step
In Investigation

The way the University of
Maryland is being managed may
be investigated by st ate
auditors.
That is the new situation
facing the College Park and Bal
timore branches of the institu-
ton, now under investigation in
the legislature at Annapolis.
The probe was due primarily
to a routine scrutiny by the
legislators of all budget appro-
priations of the State, but &C
centuated by the revelation of
Vice President H. C. Byrd'S
three salaries at the school and
its default of payments on the
field house.
Committee Meets Monday
In order to make the investi-
cation as thorough and as soon
as possible, the Senate Finance
Committee has turned the probe
over to a special investigating
committee of three members,
who will meet Monday morning
to plan procedure.
The special probe committee
comprises Senators Milton L.
Veasey, Of Worcester; Joseph L.
Donovan, of Howard county, and
Benjamin H. McKindlesS, of Bal
timore, all Democrats. Donovan
suggests that the committee work
day and night to expedite the
investigation.
Members of the State Auditors
office at Baltimore will be called
in to go over the university books
II necessary, it is said.
Salaries to Face Scrutiny
The special committee plans to
use a fine-tooth comb not only
on all salaries paid by the univer-
sity but also on all operating
costs, and on all fee systems at
the school. Each student now
must pay two $40 athletic fees.
one of which is applied to the
$4,000 field house recently built,
on which $4,000 has been paid,
with $4,000 payments due in Au-
gust facing a default.
The idea of calling in an ex-
pert before the committee, to
guide it's probing and recommend
savings will be discussed at Mon
days meeting.
Since it seems necessary to
reduce the $1,166, 800 appropriated
for the university for each of
the next two years, it may be
decided later merely to order 4
specified general cut of 100000
to $5OO,000, and let the univer-
sity itself apportion the reduc-
tions.

The $40 is provided by statute,
and with a new outfit of clothing
is supposed to help discharged

along with merely the clothes, not
another $40, when they finally
