Red Cross Urges
Married Nurses to
Re-enter Service
Nurses, nurses and'mjjre nurses is
the cry of the Red Crostuy response
to an urgent appeal sent 6uly Uncle
ham, who must have womentnuryge to
care for our soldiers both ovef .tteu
and on this side, as well ajfoV vfhV
civilian ooDulation. t
"If you are able'to entef a -traf!
school and spend the required mc
in learning: to be a professional
who will be sent abroad you are
the biggest 'bit' which can bev
tor your country, said ,Mis4?
Smith, Red Cross field seo&l
Nebraska. J
"If you were a trained nurse;"
eitner married or can not ieai
home, you can give great aid
nation in need if you become a
defense nurse. You will then be call
ed out in the case of local disaster. A
work for this organization in the very
near future is the care of troops pass
ing through the city and taken sud
denly ill. These will be taken from
trains and cared for in a room given
to the use of the Red Cross at the
Burlington station. '
"If you can not serve in either of
the above ways there is still another.
You can 'bring your home nurses'
course into practice join a class, now
forming, if you have no diploma and a
little later you will be called to go
into local hospitals to take the place
of the nurses who will be able to go
to army service. If you are proficient
in first aid and home nursing you
will not have to call a professional
nurse into your own home unless the
illness is a very serious case."
Miss Smith has headquarters in
Red Cross rooms in the Wead build
ing. She will direct any women who
wishes to enroll her services in any
part of the nursing Red Cross work.
Mrs. A. L. Reed, who is to be found
in the same office, is chairman of the
nurses' educational committee. She
will direct any one who desires in
formation about this matter.

Would Give Nurses Rank In Army.
A bill is now before the medical
committee of the house to obtain in
creased pay for Red Cross nurses
and to confer on them military rank.
ihis measure has the entire sup
port of 1he committee of which Lieu
tenant Colonel Winfield H. Smith
is chairman. The latter made a spe
cial visit to Cleveland recently to
explain to the 1,400 nurses in con
vention there the aims and benefits
of this motion. The convention
unanimously endorsed the bill.
Lessona in Canning.
Instruction classes for cooking, di
rected by Miss Nellie Farnsworth,
increase in popularity as the canning
and preserving season approaches.
At Clifton Hill school, Monday
afternoon, 100 women gathered for
the first of a course of 12 lessons
on the fundamentals of every phase
of cooking. Miss Farnsworth gives
her time and knowledge free to any
community which will assemble 24
women.
The lectures are illustrated with
demonstration of "tried and true" rec
ipes. Other neighborhoods which
have formed classes and meet in the
schools are Mason, Lothrop, Farnam
and Dundee.
Old Clock for War Fund.
Mrs. Frank H, Monroe has given a
mahogany clock which was made in
Connecticut 100 years ago, to the sac
rifice sale which will be held Wednes
day by women of the First Methodist
church. Some rare china and a num
ber of valuable books with beautiful
bindings have been given' to the sale.
The proceeds will be given to the
French orphans' fund and the sale

ard streets.
Mrs. Frank Judson will head the
woman's committee for the second
Red Cross drive during the week of
May 20.
After a record of efficient service
as chairman of the church committee
for the second Liberty loan drive and
the same committee in the Young
Men's Christian association war fund
campaign, Mrs. Judson is certain to
succeed in , keeping the women's
work up to the high standard set by
previous campaigns for patriotic
funds.
If any one among the many active
women workers in the Red Cross
knows the need of securing the quota,
it ought to be Mrs. Judson. Her
husband is director for the Nebraska
Red Cross, which means the highest
officer in the state.
Mrs. Judson is" one of the most
earnest workers in the civilian relief
department and helped organize the
Casper Yost Red Cross auxiliary
among telephone company employes.
Red Cross Chairman No. 15
MRS. L. B. SMITH.
Last November a neighborhood Red Cross auxiliary was begun at

200 hospital garments, liie auxiliary boasts of 50 members, and on Thurs

Aside from all this work, 50 knitters have pledged one sweater each and
even now the needles are busy fulfilling this pledge.

of Defense, of which she is a member.
A war information service to aid
in Americanization will endeavor to
reach immigrants through foreign
language papers, priests and ministers,
moving picture tneaters and lactones,
to let them know where the bureau
is and what it does.
The bureau will explain draft regu
lations, soldiers' and sailors' insurance
act, Liberty bonds and war savings
stamps, and such laws as affect aliens.
It will also give information concern
ing opportunities to learn English,
how to become naturalized, where to
volunteer for war service, and how
to get in touch with relatives in the
service. It will give information con
cerning the state council legal (Com
mittee, and also concerning the edu
cational, employment and recreation
facilities of the community.
"The extent of anti-American prop
aganda among foreign born," says the
state councils' section of the Council
of National Defense," "and the impor
tant part which the large foreign born
population in the United States bears
to the prosecution of the war makes
imperative the defeat of this propa
ganda through providing a steady
stream of positive and accurate Amer
ican information to all immigrants."
The work in Nebraska is being di
rected by Dr. Olga Stastny of Omaha,
co-operating with Prof. Sarka
Hrbkova, chairman of the woman s
committee. Dr. Stastny already has
active assistants in 39 counties of the
state in the work of securing the
naturalization of foreign born women.
Both Dr. Stastny and Prof. Hrbkova
are alumnae of the state university of
Nebraska.
Mrs. A. C. Troup will head the work
in Douglas county.
Junior Red Crossers
Burns Insects Which
Infest Fruit Trees
, While the grown-ups of the land
are busy inventing means and ways
of extinguishing the Huns, the little
folks of Nebraska have discovered
an enemy in their midst which they
can overcome and do their "part in the
struggle for democracy. f
. These foes are the countless Tus
sock moths which infest Nebraska
trees. Children of the Junior Red
Cross auxiliary in Lincoln recently
gathered many barrels of these insects
and burned them at a great public
demonstration. All the schools took
part and a patriotic program was
given.
Junior Red Cross has varied activi
ties. It has a fine record of the mak
ing of knitted goods, hospital gar
ments," bandages, collecting refugee
clothing, gardening and salvage work.
The number of schools enrolled is
2,151, with 141,928 pupils and mem
bership fees credited of 37,432.27.
Among the other interests which
are growing in popularity are pig
clubs, chicken clubs, corn growing
clubs and canning clubs. Some, of the
auxiliaries are planning to purchase
automobile ambulances which will be
sent abroad for use at the front. The
Junior Red Cross in Buffalo county is
the first to order an automobile.
Furniture making for use in hos
pitals and canteens "over there" is the
work favored by many of the boy
members. This work is accomplished
in the manual training rooms is one
of the most approved on the list.
Advice to
the Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Work During Summer.
Dear Ull.a Fairfax, Omaha Be.: I h.v.
read In The Omaha Be. many questions
answered by you. Am now turning to you
for advice for myself. How old must a
child be before he or she quit, school? Can
they quit after they graduated from the
Eighth grade? Can a child work as a book
keeper or clerking in a store before she or
he Is 18 years of age? That Is In the
summer when there is no school? Is there
a chance for a young girl about 16 years
of age to go to France as a stenographer,
bookkeeper or something of that sort of
work very soon? Or must she wait till
she is 18 years old?
Ta it nil rieht fnr hfcrh ..Iiasi! wlrla
wear suits to school? Or does it nuke any
difference what age a girl is b.for. she
starts to wear suits, to school? I am asking
this because ttwre are little girls about
12 or 13 years old in the Eighth grade
wearing them. Thanking you In advanoe,
SUSIE.
A boy or girl must be 16 years of ags
be for. they can stop school. It It not
allowable for a child under 16 years to
work In a store during the summer months
unless she has a permit from the Board
of Education. Sixteen years is too young
for any service in France and canteen work
ers are not accepted unless they are 2i
years of age.
A simple serge suit Is very good tast.
for a high school girl, but they seldom wear
suits before they are 15 or 16 years old.
Through an agreement of the jun
ior extension department. University
of Nebraska, services and advice of
the agricultural and junior argicul
tural leaders of the various counties
in the state will be available for the
Junior Red Cross auxiliaries in their
work in "increased food production."

mind their congregations of the sec
ond war fund drives.

ilar to the one made by President
Wilson.
Contributions from soldiers and
sailors to thi second Red Cross war
fund will not be sought. While offi
cials will gladly accept contributions,
they fee! that the men m the serv
ice should not be solicited.
