Nursery Rhyme 1885

Mary had little cold, but wouldn't
stay at home,
And everywhere that Mary went,
that cold was sure to roam;
It wandered into Molly's eyes and
filled them full of tears.
It jumped from there to Bobby's
nose, and thence to Jimmie's
ears.
It painted Annals throat bright red,
and swelled poor Jennie's head;
Dora had fever, and cough put
Jack to bed.
The moral of this little tale is very
quickly said
She could have saved a lot of pain
with just one day in bed

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By IKE WALTON

How about camps around here
for some of the poor malarlal
children from the Lower South?
Sam must have the credit for
the idea, and he is going to start
some before long if he can get
his money out Of the clutches OF
the tai eaters.
Here is the idea: There are mil
lions of children infected with
malaria in the mosquito sections
of the country whose parents are
too poor to send them to the
mountains and they grow up
weak and unhealthy because of
their conditions. If as many as
possible of them could be sent up
here before the mosquitoes get
busy around their homes and stay
here until the pests go into win
ter quarters, there would be a
vast Improvement in these chill
dren. Of course thew could not
all be sent, but the object lesson
afforded to their communities
when they get back would be an

NEW YORK, July 6. (UP).-
Gen. Fang Cher-Wu, fiery Chi
nese warlord who organized a
Chinese army against Japan in
Chahar during the Manchurian
war, last night claimed all China
was demanding a united front of
the Canton and Marking govern
ments for war against Japan.
The wiry, mustached fighter
who represents the southwestern
political council of Canton has
dedicated his life to the unifica-
ton of China. He said the Can
ton government represents the
majority of the people and there
fore will succeed in its opposition
to Japan.
Chiarg Kai.Shek, dictator of
the Marking or Central govern
ment, must join the anti-Japanese
movement or be driven from pow
er, Fang said, adding that Chang
must take responsibility for any
civil war between the Central and
Southwestern governments.

Claire Fosdiek sets out to drive
to the lonely mountain home left
her by her eccentric uncle, Lyman
Fosdiek. Claire is trying to de-
eide whether to marry Nick Baum,
to whom she owes money. She
also hopes to find a valuable and
mysterious jewel owned by her
uncle and believed to be hidden in
the house.
Her car is wrecked by a log
across the road. Pat Magyar, an
old friend, and Bob Steele, young
engineer, arrive on the scene and
take Claire to the mountain house
where Eb Spratt and his sister,
Susie, are the earetakers.
Dan Dallas, the hired man, re-
ports that the watchdog has been
shot.
Claire goes to her room for the
night. She sees a curious arrow
carved on the wall, pointing to
the eupola. Lamp in hand, Claire
goes to the eupola. Suddenly and
noiselessly, the lamp is shattered.
NOW GoON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER ~
Claire had been too excited to
notice that her hand was hurt by
the broken glass, but now she was
conscious of a throbbing pain.
Pat tried to stop the bleeding with
his handkerchief and Susie sent
Eb for water and bandages.

Pat arose. 1.-The three of us
had better give the place the

For an hour the lights from the
mems lanterns flickered about the
grounds as a careful search was
made. But not a trace Of any
thing or anyone could be found.
Down at his cabin, Dan had been
awakened and questioned, but
said he had seen nothing that
would indicate a hostile prowler.

"but | couldn't find anyone"
"And you didn't hear anything

a gun that was leaning against

Daylight was breaking when
the search finally ended without
result. The men tramped back IN

Claire was telling Susie again
about the mark on the wall be-
hind the bed. Dan listened with
an expression of interest in his
eyes. Didn't you ever run across
that mark when you were clean
ing the room, Susie?" he asked
suddenly.
Sure" She cast a quick glance
at him. But how should | know
it meant anything"
Pat, who had dropped into a
chair, now sprang to his feet.

Eb, mOtioning to Dan to come

The two young men went up
stairs to the cupola where Claire S
lamp had been shot to pieces.
| Splinters of glass still covered the
floor. The bullet that caused the
disorder was embedded in the
wall.

Pat glanced at his friend but
made no comment. In a few MIN
utes the bullet lay in his hand.
Both examined it and Bob put 1t
in his pocket.
Fifteen minutes intensive
search of the cupola revealed
nothing more. If the arrow mark
really pointed to the stairway to
the lookout, any further signs on
the weather-heaten walls had
been erased by the elements. At

CITIZENS ASSIST
 NURSING SERVICE
Public Health Success in State Aided By Public.
 Spirited People

Much of the success of public health nursing service in Connectt- cut is attributed by the nurses themselves to the loyal and whole hearted support of the large group of public-spirited citizens, men and women, who comprise the nursing boards in the various communities, according to Elizabeth s. Taylor, al. rector of the bureau of public health nursing of the state depart. Inent of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today.
 The public health nurse works, not as an individual, but represents usually @ community association or an official health department, Miss Taylor explained. The board mem bers, whom she represents, are selected from the medical, religious, business, educational and other community groups for the purpose of cooperating with the nurse in providing nursing services that best meet community needs. Most or these men and mowen have other demands on their time, profession- ally. business-wise or in the home, vet they take this volunteer work seriously and are willing to devote much time, thought and effort to 1t, Miss Taylor said.
 The board members are respon- sible for selecting and employing Q public health nurse who has had special preparation and has the ability to understand people and community life. The nurse bring to them present day trends in public health. Together they sent up poli- cies for the smooth-running of the association with close relationship with medical, public health, educa- tional and welfare groups, and town officials. Together they study com munity needs so that adequate nurs- ing service is made available. At frequent intervals. they analyze the work to note progress and to make sure that high standards of public health nursing are maintained.
 The board members, Miss Taylor continued, are responsible for finar- cing the nursing work. Through joint planning, they raise the funds. and they are responsible for pud- getting these funds and expending them economically.
 Because board members under stand to thoroughly the need for public health nursing work and the methods of accomplishing this. they are in a position to interpret this service to the community. Through the professional contacts which the nurse has opened up to them, board members are in touch with the changes in public health work in general and are instrumental in bringing this also before their com- munities, Miss Taylor stated.
