Ending an fllneaa having Its beginning In acute form a a result of the Ban Fran cisco earthquake, Mrs. John E. Hall died Thursday at the Wlae Memorial hoapltal. Nervous prostration and worry following her losses In the disaster which left her. elf and 77-year-old stepfather penniless Waa the cause of death. - Better known to the publlo as Zoe Qey ton, the famous equestrienne, Mrs. Hall pent her lifetime almoBt before the people as an actreas and as a long-distance walker. Many years ago she was her own manager, taking a company on the road and played a long engagement at Honolulu. She played in Omaha In . the early days. Growing old, she discontinued active the atrical work and, with her atepfather, set tled down in Ban Francisco, where they made a living together until the earth quake. They were left without money or proper clothing. Believing they could secure aid If they would go to Kansas City, they, at last reached Omaha last summer, but could get no farther, Aid for the refugees had been discontinued and expected help failed to materialise. Stranded in Omaha they were practically objects of charity while Mrs. Hall remained sick. They hoped she would get better, when, never discouraged by their plight, they meant to earn their Own way. The old man tottered about, earning what he could, but she only grew worse. They were Irving at 1721 Cass street when she had to be taken to the hospital last Monday. She waa then beyond aid. The aged stepfather had lately secured 'a weekly remittance of 2 from the actors' fund and this had kept the luckless pair from acute want. The body of Mrs. Hall was taken to Cole & McKay's undertaking rooms, 1617 Capitol avenue, and the funeral will be held at Trinity cathedral Monday morning, with Interment at Forest lawn cemetery. the boyish superstition, every, lad who passes It should spit on it and make a wish, which will come true, and should he Ignore the stone In passing bad luck la sure to come.

There Is a stone in the high wall that surrounds Olrard college that has for years been the object of a juvenile tradi tion. It is situated on the Ridge avenue front and Is about half way between Nine teenth and Twentieth streets and five feet from the pavement. The stone Is one of the regular stones of the wall, but It hss the peculiarity of being perfectly round In shape and a peculiar reddish brown In color.

To the Editor of The Bee: While agreeing with the senti ments expressed by Miss Dorse y regard ing' the raising of the nursing standard, I yet consider the charges of "careless and Insufficient training," as entirely too sweeping. Belonging to one Omaha hos pital I can answer for my' "own corner." Omaha Is yet In Its Infancy !n regard to training schools and trained - nurse. It Is experiencing the same conditions al ready experienced,, and overcome, .by ths older cities, and It Is scarcely fair to expect , full fledged perfection , from so comparatively young a town. It, as well as others, must have Its transition stage, which. Judging from appearances. It Is rapidly passing through. In the past anyone posing as a nurse, and with the most superficial knowledge of a few of the necessary quallflditlons, could easily find employment. ' Her edu cation and training were not Inquired Into by either physicians or patients; she was not asked from what school she had graduated, or If she had graduated at all; her former status ws not considened; but that condition is rapidly passing; In deed I think It has already passed. The hospitals, physicians and people of Omaha are demanding a better article and 1 think receiving It. . Very shortly after coming to Omaha I discovered . that , the majority of young women applying, for admission Into the training schools were without most. If hot all, the qualifications which I , had been taught to consider necessary in order to successfully take up the work, and I re solved to do what little I could toward raising the standard, ' at ' least ' In this school (I am speaking of my own ex periences; of the other hospitals I know nothing) and refused to' admit ta a pro bationer anyone, who. had .not. at .least a high school diploma. I thought that by giving the profession, medical and sur gical, a better article, they would soon refuse to employ any other, as -what phy sician having had a good nurse would ever- be satisfied with a poor ' oneT - In this hospital, at present, and prob ably In others, as much attention Is given to the "sick, room" technique, as to that of the "operating ' room." The nurses are taught the necessity of ac curate observation and Intelligent descrip tion; they study- materia medlca and know for what . the different drugs are given, and for what effects they have to watch; they are' taught how to bathe and handle all kinds of patients; how to make bed and how to change It with least disturbance to' Its occupant. They are also ' taught the value, of a cheerful face, a soft voice and a quiet ;iotfall; they are ' instructed In the laws of hy- j giene; they are given a course In massage and ars taught how to give the different exercises used In the treatment . of loco motor ataxia and heart lessons. They also have practical training tn obstetrics, and lectures from one of the leadlag ob stetricians. They are taught to appre ciate the danger of the careless handling of drugs, on which subject. In my esti mation, too much cannot be said. They are alao taught not only what food to give their patients, but bow to prepare and serve It. In other words, they have a three months' course In practical diet etics, yiey prepare everything their pa tients eat, the diets In diabetes and Brlght's disease, for the typhoid and the convalescent. I could mention a good many more of the 'little things" which go to make up the successful nurse and with all cf which they are made familiar, but believe I have enumerated enough. I heartily agree with Miss Lorsey, "Nursing Is an art," and like all arts, some are more specially gifted than oth ers. The really successful nurse is she who brings to her work. In addition to a thorough training, an Intelligent ap preciation of her responsibility, and an honest love for her work, to such a one no detail Is "too trivial." JESSIE E. GRAHAM, Head Nurse Presbyterian Hospital. Oeverameat Ownership. K EARN Erf, Neb., Kerch a-To the Editor of The Bee: I read, with Interest, Dr. George TU Miller's eloquent prophecy of the evils that would follow government ownership of the railroads. He took for hla theme the "post-prandial de bate of Bryan and Whitney." The doctor talks of red rivulets flowing from confisca tion. This Is needless alarm. Further, he fears the, political power of railroad em ployes. If government ownership wars an established fact. Here, too, be borrows trouble. The most democratic government on earth Swltserland is largely a rail road owner, and no one has pointed to such evils. The same prophecies were put forth when the government sought to carry the malls, i but the prophecy failed. Administrations come and go and our letters, too, come and go without a hitch. A postal employs is hardly ever seen at a political caucua Even if Dr. Miller la right in his prog ! nosticatlon, I prefer to take chances on securing my choice of a president under ' government ownership than to lire and die ; without hope under the Haniman-Gould regime. I Beventy-flve per cent of the nations of the world either own In whole or part their transportation . tinea What others have done, the Tankee can make a brave effort to attain. The books tell us that government should possess three attributes, wisdom, goodness and power. . There is more In the whole of anything than In a part. I be lieve that all the people know more, are better and more powerful than a part. I believe that this nation as a whole, can own and operate the railroads better than Hani man and Gould. I do not know whether Alexander Hamil ton would blench at government owner ship or not. I do know, however, that he never rode on a pasa nor did ha favor as anti-pans law. I don't know what Jefferson thought on ths subject, but I am democratic-enough to believe in popular government nd In the supreme will of the majority. . a Fifteen years ago, when the pepullst party began the agitation for government ownership. Its principles were met with ridicule; later on by argument, but now by fear aad forebodings of svU.
