Red Cross Nurse3 Doing Social Service Work in Regions Devastated by the Huns.
So quietly and effectively has the Red Cros done Its work that few Americana know that 2.000 nurses trained iu'our hospitals are now serving in war stricken countries. Net all these nurses are caring for wounded soldiers. Many are doing
the same thing they did in thi3 countryvisiting the poor and distressed, caring for mothers and children, nursing tuberculous patients, earning the got pel of health and hope into homes bereft of both. "Over there" does not mean merely France to the Red Cross nurse Nas it dof s to the soldier. It may mean Rouoiaula. Serbia. Italy. Greece, Russia or B&lgtum. It may mean any part of tLe world Inhabited by our allies where war conditions have created the need for nursing care. Only a short time ago a little band ol faithful women wearing the dark blue uniforms of the Red Cross lef an Atlantic port for Greece. They sailed Just as the soldiers sail, knowing little or nothing of their actual destination or , of the nature of the work that awaited them. All they knew was that they would find suffering to alleviate, and. true to the spirit of nursing, they answered its call.. Refugees from Roumania and Serbia have sought shelter in Greece.

This minister, wj.o said other clergymen in Hempsfsr.d had planned to do likewise, has anwwinced that he will not marry women to soldiers in the future until he investigates thoroughly how long the Ample has been acquainted and the c:acumstances which led them to the al.'i r."
of the 84th division, National Army, in training here, to beware of "vampire, profiteering in matrimony," has come from the commanding general himself. The warning was occasioned by reports from other National Army camps that women were marrying soldiers, not because they cared for them, or really wanted them as husbands, but because of the $15 monthly that would be allotted them from the eoldier'a pay and the additional $15 they' would receive from the government. So far as known here there have been no such instances at Camp Taylor, but re ports of such marriage from other camps have been numerous. Ths warning was issued because it was feared many boys away from home surroundings, and feeling the lack cf home ccmranionship misht allow themselves to beccme easy prey for unscrupulous women who would marry them for "revenue only." . Anions reports of such marriages from other camps is one from Camp

"Reports from the men showed thero probably was enough seed corn to suntVio damarH in PVPTV OOlinlV." Said
J. A. McCarty of the crops and soiis repartmcnt of the University, "but effects of the hard freeze cannot be ascertained for some time. However, it la a certainty that the severe cold has damaged a large per cont even of the matured corn, both in the field and hanging up, and only a fctnall part of It wlli do for seed. "About ihe wisest thins the farmer can do is to place the best mature! ears on a drying rack where artificial ' heat may be used and then test tha corn for its germinating qualities next spring before planting." It was proposed at the conferenca that local formers' and grain dealers organizations bond every effort to pre
vent the marketing and feedfnR of old j corn, so that it may be used for seed j next year and help relieve the shortage as much as possible. All sped in the state will be iibted at Purdue University and an ffort will be mado to help those counties which

Motion Pictures Hard Hit by War
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 22 The effect of the war on motion picture theaters in Indianapolis, especially in the outskirts of the. city has been marked. Taxes and the draft have cut so deep into their revenues that many operate but two or three nights a week now, and within the last few months twenty-three have closed entirely. The draft and voluntary enlistment not only has taken away young man who often patronized the neighborhood show, but has decreased tha attendance by women. In addition the payment of war taxes has had some effect on patronage. The larger theaters in the business district of the city report that budnets is 20 to 40 per cent below tho average for the season of the year. They also blame the war. Palladium Want Ads Pay.
