4SOC3 Catholic Women Hear Talk on Hospitals Presented by Mrs. Arthur Mullen, Ilev. C. B. Moulinier addressed the Omaha Council of Catholic Women, at the Brandeis restaurants, Tuesday. Father Moulinier is president of the Catholic Hospital association. He is here from Milwaukee, Wis., to attend the meeting of the American College of Surgeons. He said in part: ‘ There is no place where woman is* influencing civilization more for the best, where education Is more im portant, than in hospitals. “Of sisters' hospitals, there are 716 in this country and In Canada, 20,000 sfeters aro giving their lives to the work; 70,000 members of the medical profession arc working in these hos pitals and ,25,000 lay nurses, being tsained. Four million people pass tlirough these hospitals each year. ,Froni 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 people pass through all hospitals each year in the United States and Canada. Half of all beds in all hospitals on the con tinent are sisters’ hospitals. Though sisters’ hospitals number only one fdbrth the total, their rapacity brings the number of beds to one-half the total. Ttev. Mr. Moulinier believes that in five, at most 10 years, nurses will do regular academic work and receive ^Jjfctonias for their training. There are It university nurses’ training sehools In (lie United States. Cost of training of nurses and doctors and hospital aids is increasing. Cost of living and equipment are higher. Behple must be prepared to pay more for the service they receive. “It costs from $800 to $1,000 to train a student one year. His fee cannot be made higher than $250 or $300. The difference must come from endowment or some other source. One-third of the endowment fund at Marquette college. Milwaukee, (with which I)r. Moulinier is associated) was given by the Carnegie corpora tion. ’’The practice of splitting fees is unfair, unjust and reduce# an honor able profession to a commission busi ness. It does not mean that the best surgeon is secured. A profession is a. body of people w ho render service, first, because of the service and only secondarily should a professional man think of the fee. “Life conies before religion. We ran't have normal religion and nor mal thinking unless we have health. The sacredness of human life Is the basis of civilization. “Russian' Danrer Cousin of Head Bridesmaid "Of course my name isn't Stasia Berlova, really, and I’m not Russian," said the tiny Orpheum artist when a •reporter wondered at her perfect Eng lish, spoken without a trace of accent *r foreign idiom. “I'm just plain Eleanor Aikens of Kansas City, a cousin of Irma Aikens, who visited in Omaha a short time as bridesmaid in the wedding of aiiss Vernclle Head. “Why did 1 change my perfectly good name? Well, tell me the truth," she queried, cocking her head pret tily on one side, "would you go’to the t lieu ter to see a Miss Aikens dance? • “When I was studying In New fork, rny ballet master laughed at the idea. ‘We’ll call you Stasia Be dova,’ which was a great compliment, Indeed, for his sweetheart, who had died in Russia, was the first Stasia Bedova.” Sacrament*High School Stages “Macbeth” The Phakospearran tragedy, “Mac beth,” will he staged by the English and expression classes of Blessed Sacrament high school, Thirtieth , and Curtis streets, on the night, of Feb ruary 28 In Creighton university au ditorium. The work of the pupils Is under the direction of the Ursuline nuns of Louisville, Ky., who have been in charge of the school since its estab lishment four years ago. Although this marks their first public appear ance in dramatic work, their training places these students far above the average amateurs, as those who have seen the cast in practice have al ready attested. Tickets may be had at the Catho lic Daughters elifh, T’a.xton block, or at Blessed Sacrament school. Rowell Will Address D. A. R. at Colonial Banquet Robert Cowell will address Omaha chapter, D. A. R., at Its colonial ban quet at the Burgess-Nash tea room Friday evening at 7. Music will lie furnished by the Italia orchestra, di rected by Angelo Bupl. Miss Mildred Keller of Lincoln will spend ths week-end with Miss Mildred Tnvlor. AltY mtTlXKMKNT. 'I I _ ^ , Say “Bayern-Genuine!

So swiftly did the fog envelop us that we had gone little more than a mile trorft the place where Edwin had given me the warning concerning the car behind us, when I was compelled to throttle my engine down to its lowest speed, put my head out at the side and look down in order to see the strip of road along which we were traveling. By looking straight ahead I could see nothing save a thick cur tain of white, rolling like waves In front of the windshield, given Hunt nous beauty by the lights of the car, but not pierced sufficiently by them for vision. A sudden jolting told me that the right wheels of the car had left the roadway, and I brought the machine to a quick stop, knowing that while there was no precipitous plunge Into the sea to be feared on this side of the road as there was on the other, yet there were plenty of places uneven enough for an overturn of the car. A Danberous Road. It was characteristic that, In this emergency, neither of the Braith w-aites asked the irritating question, “What's the matter?” Harriet kept silent, having the common sense to know that she could aid best, by taking care of tlie children, but Ed win spoke quietly. "What do you want me to do?" “Put Robert back with the others, and take the curtain off-that side of the car. You'll have to watch the roadway on that side and tell me when I’m not going right.” He had lifted the hoy from his lap before I had finished, and, turning around, deposited him*in the tonneau, where I heard Harriet, with unruffled efficiency, telling hint where to tuck himself into the already overcrowded space. Then he turned to the window curtain and in another few seconds had it off and rolled into a compact bundle. Playing Indians. "I’ll stuff It bark of these bundles in the luggage rarrier," I said, taking It from him. "By looking down, can you see the dividing line between the concrete and the grass?" "Perfectly,” he returned, adding whimsically: "I suppose if we were Lilliputians, with an Inch high car, we'd be able to see the road perfectly.” "Oh, Uncle Edwin," Mary gurgled, her quick mentality seizing upon the <vhimsy. "Wouldn’t that be scrump tious? I’ll tell you what, Bob. Let's pretend—” "Let's play that we must keep very quiet for fear of the Indians," Harriet replied. “We've just passed through what's left of the Shinnecock reservation,” I struck In, willing to give Mary some food for her vivid imagination, "and there are some of their descendants still living there, so you can play Indians In your mind all you wish. But you must not talk. What about that car, Edwin? I cannot hear It, can you?” "Neither hear It nor see It,” he re turned with a searching look behind us. "When we stopped they must have stopped and turned off their lights." "That’s Isn’t particularly reassur ing,” I said with an attempt at light ness which I was far from feeling. "But we’ll not give up yet.” (■Hiding Lights. "That's the Idea." My brother-in law laid an approving hand upon my shoulder as I stooped to the switch key, and then, as the motor started, he pointed to two or three tiny gleams of light piercing the fog a long way in front of us. "Thofce ought to help you go faster," lie said. "They will," I returned as I saw that the lights were advancing to ward us. "Queer how lights coming toward you will pierce the fog for you. when your own lights only hinder you." "I suppose they are blessing you also," he returned, as the light ad vanced, illuminating the roadway so that I was able to drive quite fast until We had passed the advancing car. "They must have better lights than mine,” I said enviously as I slowed down to a crawl again once the third and last of the advancing cars had passed and the fog had enveloped us again, seeming all the more impenetra ble by contrast, “or I suppose they are better drivers.” “More reckless drivers, you mean,” Edwin answered gallantly. “But did It strike you that you were going a good gait yourself as long as their lights lasted? I'll warrant you they slowed down as soon as they passed you. Stop Just a second.” I obeyed hlin, and he took his eyes from the road beneath him and look ed back of us. "They are all only a few rods away, crawling around a turn, which makes their lights visible. But,” with a quick change of tone, “that other car. Is hard on our heels again.” , Miss Jennie Chase leaves Saturday for Thedford, Neb., to join her uncle, O. U. Hllman of Hoonah, Alaska. They will sail March 1 for Mr. Hil man's home on the Island of Hoonah, about 75 nilies from Juneau.
