FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
DAY IS CELEBRATED
Something of the History Of the
Red Cross Is Given. Appeal
Is Made To Nurses To Uphold
High Standard
Onthe 15th t)f May all over the coun
try, celebrations were held in honor of
the One Hundred Anniversary of the
birthday of Florence Nightingale, to
whose vision the world owes a debt
of gratitude for the adequately train
ed nurse. ." . -'..,.
It would be hard to picture today,
a world without trained nurses. Par
ticularly have the last five years
shown, not only the benefits to be de
rived from such care as is given by
the adequately trained nurse, but the
absolutely necessityfor this' care.
Florence Nightingale as we all
know, was of English parentage, she
came of gentle people, and all her life
was devoted to bettering conditions in
hospistals, particularly in giving bet
ter nursing, care to those who were
unable to demand it for themselves.
Her great opportunity came during
the Crimean W&r, when she, was final
ly given authority to organise a nurs
ing corps for the care of men wound
ed on the field of battle, and her work
in the Crimea proved, certainly to the
English people, that not only was
much suffering alleviated, but many
lives saved, by proper and efficient
nursing care, so that upon her return
to England she was given $250,000
with which to , start the Nightingale
school of nursing. t
The first training school in this coun
try, established approximately 50
years ago, in Bellevue Hospital, was
organized - by a Nightingale sister
brought over from England 4f or that
purpose and it is 'ordy "fittingrtonote
here that the woman who may justly
be called the Florence Nightingale . f
the United States of America, Jane A.
Delano, was a graduate of this school.
It was due to Miss Delano's foresight,
vision and patriotism, and great love
of humanity, that 35,000. graduate
nurses of this country were made
available for use, not only with the
military forces of -our own country,
but also with ourChllies in Europe.
The Red Cross Nursing Service was
organized by Miss Delano, to be avail
able as a reserve for j the Airny in
case of war. At the outbreak of the
late war, there were approximately
8,000 nurses available for duty. This
number was increased to 35,000 after
the entry of the United States into the
war, and these nurses were in-service
either in military hospitals, in civil
ian relief work, both here and abroad,
Lor doing reciuiting for the service in
this country, these being chiefly
those not eligible for active military
duty or waiting assignment in mili
tary hospitals. With the s.igning of
the Armistice and demobilization of
the military forces, comes the problem
of how we are to care. for the soldiers
whor either through casualties on the
battle field or disability contracted in
military camps, will not be able to
take up work again for some time, if
at all. -,
The work of giving hospital care
and treatment to these men has been
delegated to the Public Health Ser
vice and 52 hospitals have been estab
lished for this purpose. There are in
Service now, approximately 1,000
nurses, the majority of- whom have
done military service and who see in
this work, a continuance of the pa
triotic and humane service for which
Florence Nightingale gave the best
years of her life, and7 for which Jane
Delano gave her life itself.
Is it not therefore, an obligation upon
the nursing- profession, not only to up
hold the standards of these two great
nurses, but to see that the best o
nursing care is given to these bene
ficiaries of the Government, and to
offer its service in'this field of endeav-

SENATOR SIMMONS
ON THE FEDERAL
SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT.
Senator F. M. Simmons of the Unit,
ed States, Sen ate says:
"It is true that the suffrage amend
ment needs the vote of one more state
for final ratification, but when the leg
islatures of alLthe states shall have
acted, I fee! sure after thorough inves
tigation, it will have several more
etes than is necessary. The practical
question which now confronts us is,
tfcereforf not whether women shall (ne
accorded the privilege of full and
equal suffrage, but when shall they be
permitted to nter into the enjoyment
of these privileges. Shall it be today
r not until tomorrow ; shall it be this
year or not until nert year ; shall it be
in the impending elections or not until
the next succeeding erections? Mani
festly this situation presents a pure
question of policy and should be dealt
with without embarrassing reference
to individual views as to the wisdom
or unwisdom of woman suffrage as an
original proposition. While it will not
be in the power of North Carolina to
determine at its option whether wo
men shall or shall not vote, circum
stance! seem to have placed in the :
state's power thev option of determin
ing whether that privilege shall be ac
corded them in this year's or post
poned until next year's elections. I
.do not wish to discuss the .political as
pects 'of this matter further than to
say tht, while Republican and Demo
cratic leaders have generally conceded
. the inevitable ratification of the
amendment, there is a persistent belief
that Republican leaders fear the ef
fect of women's participation in this
year's elections, while Democratic
leaders believe their participation will
be to the advantage of the Democratic
j party. However that may be, it is cer
tain that two great questions, each of
vital nation-wide import, both of
which in their higher human aspects
concern women more deeply than men,
will be involved In this year's elec
tions, 'and upon those questions it is
believed Avomen would naturally sym
pathize with the attitude of the Derat
cratlc party. ,
"Moreover, if women are allowed to
vote this year their affiliation in the
approaching elections will largely de
termine their. future alignment in poll
tics." COME ALONG, LADIES!
Vl-ani -convinced? th.tritiis-44e . part
of wisdom for the Democratic party in
North Carolina Ito accept woman suffr
rage gracefully. Woman suffrage is
inevitable. He is a deaf man who does
not hear the swish of its skirts. He is
a blind man who does not see its
legions advancing. -
'Gentlemen of Tarhelia! Let's be
good sports and join ' lustily in the
chorus, 'Come along, ladies Some
time ago I definitely decided to advise
the general assembly in the special .ses
sion in July to ratify J the Federal
Amendment. It is the sensible and tha
graceful thing to do." T, W. BECK
ETT, Governor of Xorh Carolina.
PROMINENT DEMOCRATS WANT
WOMEN'S VOTES COUNTED IN.
"The Republicans are committed tfl
the principle (of woman suffrage).
The Democrats are committed to th
principle. It is just a question now ot
the method by which you get it. You
cannot prevent giving women the right
to vote. It is too late now for any
roan, belonging to either party, te
doubt the wisdom of women voting."
Senator Pollock of South Carolina'.
"When we see the steady progress
the woman suffrage movement has
made, that man is judicially blinded
who dues not see that continued op
position is arguing against an accom
plished fact. The movement on behalj
of suffrage is like an elemental forct
of nature. It moves irresistibly."
Chief Justice Walter Clark 'of Nortl
Carolina.
"I am strongly in favor of prompi
ratification of the Federal Stiffrag
Amendment and I hope that a sufficiem
number of state legislatures will b
called in special session to insure th
ratification of the amendment, so tha
the women of our country, in over;

CONCERNING CLAIMS FOR
DISABILITY AGAINST W. R.
All Service Men Claiming Disa
bility If They Have Been Out
Service One Year Must Obtain
, Certificate of Injury.
A bulletin entitled, "New Provisions
For Compensation and Medical and
Surgical Care and Supplies Under the
War Risk Act," and officially listed as
"LD-30"is announced by ' Director R.
G. Cholmeley-Jones of the Bureau of
War Jlisk Insurance as ready for dis
tribution. The Circular which is addressed to
former service men and .a copy of
which may be obtained form the Bu
reau of War Risk Insurance, sets
forth the warning that a certificate of
injury from the Bureau, within" one
year, from the date of discharge or rea
ignation is necessary to procure eligi
bility for compensation on the part of
anyone who received injury or con
tracted disease while in the service.
To quote the bulletin: "No compen
sation is payable unless the disability
or death can be traced to an injury or
a disease incurred in the service.
"Many persons, however, have . re
ceived injuries or contracted disease in
the service and the ill effects thereof
do not appear until some time after
the discharge or resignation. If the
disability resulting from the injury or
disease contracted in the service does
not occur before one year after dis
charge or resignation you may be un
able to obtain compensation, for tho
low provides that when such disability
or, death occurs as shown by the medi
cal evidence after one year after your
discharge, a certificate of injury must
have been obtained from the Director
of the Bureau, within the year from
the idate - of orour discharger in, order
that the government may pay you, or
your dependents."
"If you were injured or contracted
disease while in the service, even tho
the injury or disease was of minor
character, be sure to apply for a cer
tertificate of injury before 1 year af
ter the date of your discharge or res
ignation, in order to protect yourself
and your dependents. Act now.
"Do pot fail, to get this certificate
if you sustained injury or disease in
the service which, even though it may
not bother you now, may become ag
gravated hereafter. Apply to the
nearest District Supervisor of the Pub
lic Health Service, or write to the
Chief Medical Advisor, Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C,
giving your full name, serial number,
and organization, and rank at the time
ol discharge or resignation."
The Compensation and Insurance
Claims Division of the Bureau has ap
proved 147,081 claims for compensa
tion on account of disability through
service, and now is making payments
thereon each month to the extent of
$4,488,058.31. ,
