III INTEREST OF
II NORMAL SCHOOL
STATE SUPERINTENDENT J. A.
CHUKCH1LL MEETING PEOPLE.
He Suys Passage of the Initiative
Measure la linpurlunt Local '
School lb . Praised. ''.- '
.State Superintendent J. A. Churchill
is hero in thojntercst of tho passage
next November of the initiative bill,
already submitted to the last legisla
ture, for the establishment of two new
normal schools in Oregon.
Tho bill itself 'provides that, ono
school shall be established in Ashland,
where there is already a plant, and the
other one to be located somewhere in
Eastern Oregon, tho exact location to
tic left in tho "hands of the State
Board of iRcgents. ; '
In an interview Mr. Churchill said:
"I have just come ovor from Batysr,
where wo held a meeting of tho com
mittee in charge of tho matter, and I
came here for the samo purpose. All
who arc interested in tho passage of
this bill, and everyeno should be,
should leave no stone unturned to put
the bill through next November. The
exact location of tho Eastern Oregon
Normal school is of secondary import
ance. Get the bill passed first. ,;
"There are now in Eastern Oro;pn
rural schools an average of only 16
pupils, not because there are no more
children of school ago in tho districts,
but because we have been unable to
send competent teachers to thc30 far
away districts.
"It costs the Stato of Oregon iust
$50 in cash to educate its children, and
that would mean about $500,000 to
educate ten thousand children. The
normal school at Monmouth is over
taxed now, and that is tho reason why
ropre normal schools aro necessary.. .
"The graduates of ,gr4e or high
schools need further and spociai train
ing to fit them to teach rural schools.
The distance of the present state nor
mal school is so great that few can
afford to attend it from Eastern Ore
gon. Tho bill provides an approprin
ion of ?125,000, to apply for the main
tenance of the schools.
"If all who can yolo, will vote for
the passage of the bill, it cannot fail
to pass. - -
La Grande Schools First.
'I want to add just one thing more
about your local schools hero in La
Grande, and that is they stand in the
front rank of all tho schools in the
state. Prof. A.. H. Prince, of your
central school,' has sold more War
Savings stamps thnh'ftas any other
school in tho state, and every one pf
his pupils, without exception, are
members of the Rainbow regiment."

"Nurses Aro Needed for Iimuediutc
Service."
Tho Anierlcun Ijted Cross has Issued
several lljers mid booklets In a cani
pnign to enlist trained nurses for nn
increnslng nrmy-and uiKler the bead
ing quoted above has this to say:
. The enemy thinks ha can win before
tho United States mobilizes nil Us re
sources for milking war und among
these respurces nurses are vital. Ask
yourself this heart-searching question:
'Is our incomplete mobilization duo in
part to my holding back?"
' Trained nurses jire needed today
needed in the training camps nt home
and desperately needed In the hos
pitals in France, whero there are hun
dreds of wounded dully.
Tho American Itcd Cross does not
pretend that yon can servo your coun
try without sacrifice. You will receive
less compensation In war work, measr
ured In dollars; but you will rceelvo
infinitely larger compensation, meas
ured in self-respect, patriotism and un
selfish devotion to your country In the
hour of its greatest need.
Longfellow snld :
"Trust no future, howe'er pleasant
IiOt the dead past bury its dead;
Act! Act! in the living present,
Heart within and find o'erhead."
Nurses, If YOU fail, 1IB dies!
In a small booklet Issued by the
Itcd Cross various questions are an
swered. For Uie benefit of trained
nurses who may wish to enlist some
of these questions aro repented here
with their answers. Nurses desiring
general information, or young women
who wish to bo trained for nurses
should write to the Ked Cross address
ing: "Department of Nursing, Ameri
can lied Cross, Washington, V. C."
When Should You Eproll?
TODAY!
Nurses aro needed now. Five thou
sand nre wanted between now anil
June 1, and approximately 23.000 will
be needed before the owl of the jw.ir.
What Are the Itequirements for the

BUY WATCHES TO GET GOLD
Ingenious Schema of Central Emplrtt
to Increase Their 8upply of tho '
Precious MeUI,
It Is an oddity of tho world war that
the jewelry trade is flourishing.. A se
cret article iu tho Itovuo Suisse d'Ex
portHtlon of Geneva gives an Interest
ing view of this situation and also sug
gests a method by width the central
empires undoubtedly have Increased
their gold supply namely, the Impor
tation of gold jewelry to be melted In
to bullion.' '
In the course of the crisis provoked
by tho European war we pass from one
surprise to another, says the Ilevue.
The belligerent countries, one after an
other, huyo Imposed measures forbid
ding tho Importation1 of luxuries and
watches. In spite of nil theso difficul
ties the orders, particularly for gold
watches of medium price, aro received
In Increasing numbers by our watch
makers, while, those for watches of
high and low prices nre few.
Tho jewelry , trade ' has passed
through a prosperous , period, which Is
not yet over. Iu fact, it Is at Its
height. Everything went well so long
as there wcro uo abuses, but the tlmo
enmo when Jewelry, especially heavy
gold chains without much workman
ship, began co be exported to the Ori
ent. High prices were paid for these
articles. Gold (lino) In Swltserlnnd Is
valued at about : $720 a kilo (2.2
pounds) und in the Orient, ; or at
Vienna, It Is quoted at ?2,400 per kilo.
There Is, therefore, a considerable
margin which allows a large profit to
our manufacturers and their agents,
also to forcigu merchants. These ar
ticles, however, are not all destined
for Turkey. A. great many of them
find their -way Into the central em
pires, "i
When steps were tnkon to check tills
trndo numerous orders for watches
with cheap movements In heavy gold
cases camo flowing into tho watch
making centers. These orders were
destined , for Constantinople. , The
scheme Was perfectly apparent, and
government authorities took prompt
measures to put a stop to the proceed
ing..' . .'-'......,:.', . ...
HOW BIG GUN WAS FOUND
French Artillery Officers Made Care
ful Measurements, and the Rest
of tho Matter Was Easy.
: Careful measurements of two holes
mailt) by a singlo shell In passing
through two awnings In a Paris fac
tory enabled French artillery officers
to locate tho great German long-range
gun by n fent of mathematics. The
two nwnlngs were several feet apart
and the relation of one to the other
gave perfect data on tho course which
the shell had taken as It approached
the earth. After the apertures had
been measured to the one-thousnndth
part of on inch and the direction of
the shell's fall exactly established, the
earlier career of tlio shell became a
problem on paper. By' applying tho
lavJs governing the flight of projectiles,
and allowing for the, wind, tho state
of tho atmosphere arid other consider
ations, French artillery officers were
able to follow back the course of tho
shell to the mouth of the cannon In
the forest of St. Gobaln, nftpr which
It was speedily demolished by French
.artlllcrr
school for nurses, giving at least two
years' courso of training In a general
hospital. In states where registration
Is provided for by law an applicant,
to bo cllxtblo for enrollment, must be
registered. She must bo at,least wen-ty-ono
years pf ago.
What nro the Physical Standards?'
During the period of the war a phys
ical examination certificate should be
filed with other application papers at
tho time of enrollment. ...
Where do Bed Cross .Nurses Serve7
Their service niny be In this coun
try or abroad. Service abroad Is not
guaranteed. .
What Is the Length of Service?
Iled Cross nurses appointed for
service In the military establishment
during war are expected to remain as
long as the emexgency lasts, unless the
need of their services ceases to exist.
They may, however, be relieved from
duty nt any timo In case of miscon
duct, or should their services prove un
satisfactory. The same ruling con
cerning length of service and resigna
tion nppllcs also to nurses serving else
where with the Ked Cross.
Must Nurses Pay Traveling Ex
penses? Traveling expenses nre paid for
nurses traveling under orders from the
war and navy departments or the
American Red Cross. '
Wear White Shoes.
Itelenso shoo leather for service by
wearing w hite shoes I That's the lat
est patriotic slogan of fashion and bids
fair to rival the demand that we sub
stitute silk and calico for wool. White
buckskin, canvas and duck and white
washable kid for evening are the slip
pers and shoes recommended for fash
ion patriots. White shoes nre essential
to smartness for completing the sum
mer costume of organdie, and light
silks. For cool evening smart White
gaiters nre, made to accompany whlto
