Red Cross nurses will begin Monday. Every graduate nurse, in' Douglas county is wanted to enroll in the Red Cross. They will not all be called to nurse at the front, or in army hos v pitals in this country, but the Red Cross will ask nhem to help in the, way they are most willing ot serve. . The Red Cross pamphleton "War . . Obligations of Physician and Nurse" explains: : ... . ; y ' '"The Red , Cross . recognizes , that . some nurses are more valuable in thefr s present employment than they would .Je in war service,; and so , does not propose to withdraw trained nurses y arbitrarily; but every trained nurse should enoll for, war service and - await " the sifting process. In this . way alone can 25,000 nurses be en rolled as the government requires.' ' Itvis earnestly hoped that 'physi cians will encourage a100 per cent " enrollment of nurses. The fact that it may be months before some nurses are called to service should not hin. ' der this enrollment, should not cause a single nurse to hold back her sig- .. nature."-. :. Jt'. f ."..v:'-, . In reference to the way in wjiich physicians and public can helpr-the message says: ' "For the United States to yield 25,- 000 more of its highly trained nurses for war service unquestionably means that physicians and patients will have 1 to employ fewer nurses, It means further that in the Rome, in the labor ' atory, and in the hospital, these ex- pert nurses must be used the fewest , possible number of days or hours per case so that they may be released to the government ' . ' , ' . "The Red Cross understands per fectly the sacrifice this will entail ' upon physicians and the public, but as between such sacrificeVn their'part and a sacrifice of our enlisted men, Jhc Red Cross knows that American professional men and citizens will not - hesitate one moment ina choice." Jn war there is no tomorrow. The enemy has counted upon win- ning a decision before the United ' States completely mobilizes its re ' - sources and nurses are among our most vital resources.. Consequently, the nurse who delays' in offering.her v self is to that extent delaying our complete mobilization which will turn the tide of battle definitely to victory fo civilization., , Surgeons General Gorgas and Bras- i Red Crcss work will occupy Mofor day afternoon when members of chapter B, S. of P.

It is the beginning of the big drive to transfer th year garden produces from the back ?ard to the fruit cellar shelves with an eye to next winter. To hearten a nation and to build its brawn is the task today of the woman-at-home.' T lere is nothing spectacular or croix-de-guerre-ish about winning the war With mason jars and jelly glasses, but Uncle Sam, for, all his intensive war work has found 1 ime to convert one-time household druggery to the dignity of an ira- -portant war movement, !, ', : ; , ' ' .

Mr. Hoover doesn't believe that "a word to 4he wise is suf ficient," not in. so grave a crisis so he sends his repre sentatives to give forth as many words of wisdom as each individual needs.

Let us hope that the sea of , matrimony -will remain smooth de spite the angry waves that threatened . the launching of the little craft ! THE warm June showers, or rather cloudbursts, which have .ruined . our white frocks and disturbed our . slumbers for the last week have put a slight damper on the parties given at the clubs. "Aren't there, to be any dinners this week?'' "Isn't there any thing planned for the future?" wailed one fair young thing. ; : "Nothipg but rain," was the sad answer of the secretary at the club. A YOUNG business woman in this "city was married to a soldier earljr in the spring. In order that the inquisitive boys at camp would not be able to decipher their love messages this couple arranged a code. When the bride decided to spend her vaca tion with her soldier husband at a southern cantonment, she telegraphed him, using the secret code. The tele- . gram arrived at camp and the bride groom was immediately arrested as a spy. A' few. days later the bride ar rived and it was only, after she blush ingly explained the situation and -., translated the message that the "spy" was released. -V-; : ...... i $ .v-V'"''' HIGH. school graduates who con vened at the Auditorium Fri- day morning for rehearsal, came upon an unexpected treatseveral freezers of ice cream left from' the benefit dance given Thursday evening for the Fort Riley Military band fund. .
