Demand For Red Cross Nurses Opens Places For Untrained Women
St. Luke's Hospital of Kansas City, Mo., Would Instruct Beginners
Women are wanted to take the place of trained nurses who are going into Red Cross service abroad, according to a communication received by Miss Margaret Lynn from Clara L. Tulloss, superintendent of St. Luke's hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
"In order to meet the increased estimate of nurses required for our country's service," she writes, "every graduate nurse must feel a personal responsibility. It is the duty of every efficient, able-educated graduate nurse." Red Cross nurse be ready and willing to do her part in this time of need.
"On the other hand, we must replace the trained nurses who are fitted for Red Cross service and are going to the front, by conscientious and ambitious, untrained women.
"Every true American woman is eager to render real service to her country; but we are so far from the actual warfare that I believe we do not realize, as the noble women of the Allies realize, that we must step into this arena, and serve us at home in order to release the trained workers for service overseas.

Write to Soldiers Aged Sylvia Advises
"I see afraid you ain't goin' to get that wish, dear," said Aunt Sylvia, as she shuffled the grimy cards after the young University woman had cut three times. "I see afraid you won't get that wish, but here's another chance for you. Cut three times again, and make that there same wish and we'll see."
Aunt Sylvia, the old negro woman who reads cards in North Lawrence, is sympathetic, for she knows the heartaches and aspirations of a generation of University students. She listens patiently while they tell their troubles.
Aunt Sylvia was born in Arkansas. After the war, she was deported to Kansas, and arrived in Lawrence just after the Quantrell Raid when the citizens of the town were living in
tents until they could rebuild their homes.
"Yeah, I remember the Slave War," said Aunt Sylvia gravely. "It was terrible, but it ain't nothing to this one. I just can't feel right about this war, and I see afraid that when it's over there will be another one. The next one will be here in this country — another civil war. It's awful to think of all them nice boys going across the water. I hate to see my friends from the University go. I just can't feel right about it."
Aunt Sylvia has a cat, a white one, that sits on her callers' knees or else lurks in a corner. If the cat likes the visitor, the fortune is usually propitious, but if the cat fails to approve him, he is lost.
"I're sorry," says Aunt Sylvia, "but you are bawn unlucky, and unless you you're mighty careful, you're going to have a lot a trouble. I see sorry and I hope you will be careful."
It is well to make friends with the cat, who is a socially inclined cat, by the way, and only the most hardened villains cause it to remain in the corner under the picture of Booker T. Washington. That picture is evidently a cherished possession, for it is kept free from dust and hangs where the best light from the tiny window will fall upon it. Up above, over the door leading into the little kitchen, is a horse shoe shining with silver paint, and a big old-fashioned clock hangs on the wall nearby. Rag rugs are on the floor, a patchwork quilt on the bed, and a scuttle full of cobs sets by the stove. The house is old. It was built when Aunt Sylvia first came to Lawrence. But it is warm and cozy. It is quiet now, for the seven pickinny's that used to run about it are grown, and the son of one of them has just been drafted. Aunt Sylvia is afraid to have him go, but she is proud of him.

"You girls write to your soldiers," she admonishes all the K. U. women who call on her. "An' be good, girls, be good. If everybody is good this war will end and there won't be another one, but I see afraid that everybody ain't going' to be good."
Then she gathers up the cards, and says, "That's all for you, dear. Be good and come back some time again. An' if you know of anything that's good for rheumatism, you bring that along with you."
