Doctor Brown, s negro evangelist,
was a firm believer In the ancient cus
tom of river baptism, and converts
whom he baptized in this manner sel
dom forgot It. A few years ago he
held a christening In ■ New Jersey
town on the banks of the Delaware
river, where a dozen or more converts
were assembled, awaiting their turns
to be Immersed. Among them was a
hacktnan. who evinced a lively Inter
est In the ceremony.
"W hy does the good doctor." he
ssked of t fellow convert, ‘‘duck some
of them folks two times an' others
more ?''
“ He ducks 'em once.” erplalned hla
friend, “ for every new name they're
goin’ to have.”
“ Is that possible?” the haekman re
plied. “ I was goln" to call myself
Thomas Jefferson Lincoln Anderson,
but I guess T om ' will be Trout long

This conversation was overheard by
the sharp ears of Doctor Brown, who
Anally beckoned the haekman to come
forward.
“ To‘ name, please?" he Inquired In
a deep bass voice.
“ Jets baptize me T om ,’ that's ’nuff.”
the candidate replied, aa the evangel
ist, taking him none too gently by the
neck, piloted him far out Into the
etream. where he ducked him not once
hut half a dozen times with such ra
pidity and vigor that a few minutes
later the haekman found himself on
the shore, coughing, sputtering and
Aghtlng for breath. The ceremony was
seon ever, and when he had recovered
his strength he made his way to the
side of Doctor Brown.
"W hat fo' you duck me that way?”
he demanded In aggrieved tones. “ 1
come here to he baptized, not to be
drowned.”
“ My good man,” replied Doctor
Brown, "you was so Ailed With the
devil I had to use a powerful lot of
water to wash him out of yo’ system."

Assimilated Rank Won far Msmbsrt
of Army Nuros Corps Aftsr
Long Fight.
There win be female officers la the
American army hereafter. The army
nurse has won her fight for recogni
tion.
Salted carefully‘kway In a safe cor
ner o f army reorganization legislation
a a passed by both branches o f congress
Is a neat little section conferring the
"assimilated rank” o f major, captain,
and first and second lieutenant on
members of the Army Nurse corps.
The superintendent Is to have the rank
o f major, the assistant superintendent,
director and assistant directors the
rank of captain, the chief nurses the
rank o f first lieutenant, and other
nurses are to be second lieutenants.
Officially speaking, a person holding
assimilated rank Is one who exercises
limited authority o f that rank under
certain conditions, but does not enjoy
the full privileges o f the rank. It lacks
several of the elements o f absolute
rank. It does not call for a commis
sion and It does not carry the pay. al
lowances or the emoluments o f one. It
makes no attempt to confer the power
o f command Incident to a line officer
o f similar grade. The only incident»
of absolute rank conferred are:
1. The dignity Incident to the name
of the rank.
2. The right to wear the Insignia
thereof.
3. The eligibility to exercise author
ity within the limits set forth in the
law. which are as follow s: "A s re
gards medical and sanitary matters
and all work In the line o f their du
ties. they shall have and shall be re
garded as having authority In and
about military hospitals next after the
medical officers of the army.”
The movement for rank for army
nurses began with America's entry into
the great war. A series o f hearings
on the proposition were held before
the house committee on military af
fairs on April 16. April 20 and June 7.
1913.
Nothing Immediately resulted,
but the nurses maintained an active
bureau In Washington, headed by Mrs.
Helen Hoy Greeley, a New York law
yer.
When the war was ended and
Hrmy reorganization was plainly Im
minent, they stepped In and won.
More than 10,000 army nurses saw
overseas service during the war. All
were graduate nurses recruited largely
through the American Red Cross nurs
ing service. Army nurses were among
the first to represent America on the
other side.
