"A definite change in attitude has
grown out Of the war situation"
said Mrs. Riddle in her New York

made il apparent that all potential
nursing power should be utilized.
Although Negro women have
definite flair for. nursing, only
slightly more than one per cent of
the graduate nurses in the country
are Negro as compared with ten
per cent of the population.
Hard To Increase
ut has been hard to increase the
supply Of Negro nurses because
educational facilities are totally in
adequate. And because so few of
the best schools of nursing were
open to Negroes. the better qualified
Negro girls have tended to 60 into
teaching or other work"
Now. Mrs. Riddle declared,
change is under way. Leading

Jury Studies
Verdict in
Shelton Trial

The fate Of Mildred Shelton was
placed in the hands of an Imperial
county superior court jury at II AS
a. m. Saturday.
Closing events in her trial on a
charge of numbering her baby by
throwing it in the Colorado river
took place in an almost empty
court room. The jury entered the
jury room after receiving instruc-
tions from Judge Elmer Head but
left for luncheon downtown few
moments before noon.
Il have no sympathy for Cor
poral Robert Nell" Deputy District
Attorney Luray Mouser told the
jury in his final argument before
them Saturday morning, speaking
of the man Mildred said was the
child's father. Il want the ladies
and gentlemen of the jury to re-
member that Robert Nell is not on
trial in this court. AS far as l can
find out he has committed no crime
in this state and therefore the Off
cials and officers of this state have
no jurisdiction over him. If he has
committed crimes for which he
could be prosecuted, he committed
them elsewhere and not in Califor-
MIA He, Mildred. and the baby,
Mildred Louise, had been living in
Yuma, Ariz."
WHY TRIED HERE
He explained that the case was
prosecuted in California because the
alleged drowning of the baby took
place on the California side CT the
river and the baby's body was founc
near Winterhaven, Cal.
Mouser apparently made these
statements about Nell because the
defense attorney. j. Fred Hoover
of Yuma. in his arguments before
the jury had asked the jury not to
send Mildred to the penitentiary
and let Nell go free to do his rap
ing around the country"
The deputy district attorney
asked the jury to convict Mildre d
of first-degree murder of her 10
month-old baby.
