C. % Fighting Sin ; itt jm CHICAGO, HI. ... A hot sun failed to deter eighty-year-old Gov. Dickinson of Michigan from taking his place among the speak ers at the huge Christian Loyalty Rally in Soldier Field here re cently. Sponsored by various re ligious organizations, the meeting drew about 20,000 people. Gov. Dickinson believes today's world troubles have resulted from our immoral living. rtr&* t, DOCTOR IG WE Auemmimm The Henry Street Nurses ' One of the most valuable or ganizations in New York City is the Henry Street Visiting Nurse Service, for which every doctor in New York has the highest esteem, for it is devoted to giving free nursing service to those unable to pay. Each year more than 3,- 500,000 calls are made by the faithful and intelligent trained nurses, night or day, upon those unable to pay for the services rendered. Today all public hospitals are overcrowded and it is estimated that 90 per cent, of the sick in Greater New York are cared for more or less indifferently at their homes. Much of the work of aid ing the impoverished ill is done gladly by the Visiting Nurses, who too frequently from their small salaries, and prompted by gen uine sympathy at the dire dis tress of those upon whom they call, after rendering medical aid, also buy food, fuel and clothes for various members of the fam ily. I have known them to wash all the children, clean the house, cook the meal and attend the mother, in bed with ,a newly ar rived baby. It is against the rule of the Henry Street Visiting. Nurse Ser vice for any of these ladies to tell their experiences, outside of their own group; so let me say that this story was told me by the doctor "on the case" and I relate it to give my readers an example of what these devoted women go through so that others may live. A baby was expected on the fifth floor of a "walk-up" tene ment on the East Side. A nurse had been assigned to assist the doctor and to take care of the patient afterwards—that is until the mother was up and about. About three-thirty on a windy, snowy morning in late January, the doctor telephoned the nurse, requesting her immediate pres ence. She promptly dressed. It was impossible to get a cab, so she hurried toward the elevated but at that time of the morning trains are few and far between. No cabs passed. After waiting twenty minutes she saw a baker's wagon ap proaching through the snow drifts. She hailed the driver, told him who she was, where she was going, and why, showed him her nurse's uniform and kit-bag, and asked him to take her as far as hg went. He allowed her to occupy the seat beside him, and uncouth and gross, plied her with questions, evidently not believing her story, and finally made a vulgar proposition to her. Ultimately he reached the point where he was to. turn in another direction and stopped the wagon to let the nurse off. It was still snowing heavily and the wind blowing a gale. As she rose to leave he said: "It is too bad for you to get off in this storm. I'll tell you what I'll do. If you give me your telephone number and a kiss I'll take youse directly to the house where the sick wo man is." Realizing that much depended on her prompt arirval at the sick woman's bedside, the nurse un hesitatingly agreed. In comment ing col her experience she said: "Of course I gave him a wrong telephone number and the sting iest kiss a man ever got, but I'd go through the same experience again to 'catch a baby'" the phrase commonly used to de scribe this service.

Paw, Jr., well driller of Hickory, has Just returned fropi a trip through West Virginia and Ohio, and states that he purchas ed considerable new equipment while away, which will enable him to give even better service in drilling of wells. Destroyer Civilian: "Can you direct me to the destroyer Satan?" Cox'n: "Sorry, mister, there's no ship in port by that name." Bamboo: "That's odd. The pa per said the Marine Chaplain would speak on Satan, the great destroyer." Sheep hate water. GOODBYE THLRST DEPARTS '"ViMT -i When You Call, THIRST!
