Washington, D. O., August 15.-
 SpeciaD The important part played by Catholic religious com munities in the care of the sick was described by Sister M. Maurice Sheehy, R.. s. M., instructor in nursing educatOn of the Catholic University School of Nursing Edu- cation, in addressing the students nf the American Red Cross nurses training camp on the campus of Bryn Mawr College, Pennsylvania.
 'SThe first reference to 8 person as a nurse after the foundation of Christianity is that the Phoebe spoken of by St. Paul." said Sister Maurice. Tn the foundation days of Christianity, it was not uncom- mon to find wealthy women who had become converts opening their homes as hospices for the sick and the poor, devoting their entire for- tunes and energies to this particu- lar work. One of these especially well known in literature, history, and drama alike is Fabiola, who built the first institution during the xthe century that was intended solely for the care of the sick"
 Referring to the medieval mon- asteries, Sister Maurice noted that st. Benedict can rightly be called the founder of western monasticism, ffom which the present day re- Egious communities in the United States have sprung.
 @"In the regulations drawn up by Et. Benedict" she said, "he en- Joined that provision be made for the care and treatment of the sick and needy. It is not surprising, therefore, to find accounts of per- sons who were well informed con- Eerning the care of the sick and

who developed . great proficiency in the use of drugs and reme- dies"
 Bringing her recital down to 6 more modern day, Sister Maurice referred to Florence Nightengale. History bears outt he fact" said Sister Maurice, "that her unquench- able zeal for the care of the sick led her to the door of both Catholic religious communities and Protes- tant institutions. In the paper prepared by Florence Night Night ingale for the Chicago World Falir in 1893, sine firmly held that nurs- ing was vocation and its members should be subject to a very strict discipline of life. Perhaps the most valuable insight which she received into the lives and work of nuns was in her association with 37 religi- ous who accompanied her on her first life mission in ursing at Cri- mea. With her were Sisters of Charity, Sisters of Mercy, and Sis- ters of St. Augustine. One of the Sisters of Mercy, who accom- panied her to Crimea, Mother Jo- seph Lynch, later migrated to Amer ica and became the founder of a community of Sisters of Mercy in Grand Rapids, Michigan"
 Sister Maurice said that the Sis- ters of Charity and the Sisters of Mercy were most active in the nursing field in the United States, with nursing being one of the chief functions of both religious commun- ities. The community of which Sister Maurice is a member Is in charge of 83 hospitals and 57 schools of nursing in this country.

Tn every great even before the Crimea the religious were among the first to offer theri Servics. Today, as in the past, the religious communi- ties are fully aware of the re- responsibilities which they must share with the lay and civilian popula- tion in the national defense ef- forts. At the present time there arer active committees in every re- ligious community studying the ways and means by which their Ser- vices will be available in carrying on the great work which 1t is the happy privilege of nurses to per- form"

Michael J. GaIulIo widely known in Connecticut some years ago as Waterbury's best dressed man and one of the most daring of steeple- jacks, has been elected vice conn mander of the National Vaude- vile Artists Post, No. 69O, Amer ican Legion, of New York City. The popular Mike" paid q visit t0 his home town recently to renew acquaintances.
 It will be recalled by some of 'cMlke's" friends that during his stay at Fort SlOcum during the World War that military officials of the reservation had difficulty keeping flag flying from the top of . tall, slender staff. "MIke" volunteered his services when others failed and not only climbed the pole, made the necessary ad- justments for "Old Glory" to fly, but gave the veterans about the fort the "jeeters" with his acrO- batic stunts. Another feat cred- tied to Mike" was walking on tho wings of an aeroplane in flight. Yes, "Mike" climbed the flag pole on the WoOlwOrth in the days be- fore Empire state building and lived to tell it. P. s. Mike" al- most landed in the ''ho0se-gow" for his stunt that gave New York; CTS. q thrill.
 They tell c million stories aboWt Mike and his stunts. And they're reading or listening.

DAVIS ADVOCATES
 INTERPRETATIONS

Thorough-going preparation e bombing raids, whether or not the United States is ever subjected to such attacks, was the keynote of an address delivered yesterday by Edward H. Davis, statistician of the Scoviu Mfg. company, at a luncheon meeting of the Rotary Club in the Elton hotel.
 The speaker stressed the irn- portance Of maintaining clear communication lines at Connecti- cuts IS points of concentration in the event of an air raid, in order that the population receive ample warning of the approach of bombers.
 Mr. Davis stated that in his opinion the exhibition of courage displayed by gLondoners durin high explosive and incendiary bombing by German planes was outstandingly remarkable.

Jan be DeIe3te0
 Morgenthau said imitation could be defeated If the nation would CO., operate in a proposed six-point pro- gram that would:
 l. Increase taxes.
 2. Extend general controls over bank credits and create controls over selected capital expenditures.
 3. Extend the social security pro- gram to increase the flow of funds to the treasury from current income
 {. Reduce non-essential federal expenditures.
 5. Release surpluses from storage for consumption to prevent unreas- enable price rises.
 6. Invest more widely in defense savings bonds and stamps so that wage earners would set aside a DOT ton of their earnings each week for their Jwn and their country's good
 Fears 1916 Repetition
 Morgenthau feared a repetition of the 1916 inflationary period when prices climbed 70 per cent unless i've provide promptly the appropriate means and use them vigorously whenever necessary"
 The Secretary said building costs have jumped 20 per cent and rents in some sections have increased 30 per cent or more over ayear ago.
 "1f we fail to use the controls ct our disposal now" he said, i've may find that food, fuel, shelter and clothing which now costs e dollar will cost almost twice as much.
 There is no excuse for Us to be late in meeting this threat of infla- ton that faces us. We now know, or ought to know, what Is going on"
 Morgenthau said surpluSes should not be withheld from the market in these times since 1t forced the housewife to pay tribute to profiteers and spectators when she purchased for home consumption.
 Millions of people" he said, "still go without the milk, butter and eggs which are necessary to good health and good morale. Yet the reserve stocks of butter, cheese, beef and pork now held in this country are far higher than they were year ago and far higher than the average of the past five years"
 Morgenthau said selfish groups" which think they can profit from imitation are wrong since imitation brings profit only to the speculator, the nroftteAr and the hoarder
 He said If i've reduce undesirable purchasing now and keep prices down, we shall be helping to pro- vide for the day when the vast defense expenditures will end and when our defense workers will take up the work of peace again." He said these measures will help build Q blaeklog of purchasing power for the postwar world.
