RED GROSS KURSE
IS COMING HERE
Public Heaith Nursing and Home
Hygiene Instruction Part of
Peace Time Program.
SPEAKS AT CHAUTAUQUA.
"Nurse the Most Needed Woman in the
Aforld," Says Miss Jane A. Delano,
director of the Department of Nursjig
of the American Red Cross.
To place the public health on u
Higher plane than It bus ever been Is
the object of a national program undertaken
by the American lted Cross
as part of its peace time plan. From
const to coast and from lakes to gulf
the Red Cross is spreading the gospel
of good health and of the proper care
of the sick by fostering the study and
practice of nursing, both by organized
-public health activities and by members
of the family in every home.
Through the Chautauqua an otliclal
representative of the Red (Toss Department
of Nursing will soon tell the
people of this community the story of
what is being done and will ask their
co-operation.
One of the great lessons of the world
war is found in the unnecessarily low
standards of physical health revealed
This was brought out most forcibly in
the great number of rejections ol
young men called to the colors undei
the Selective Service Law. Records
show that throughout t>u United
States one-third of the young men examined
for military service were disqualified
from hearing arms foe their
country through minor physical defects,
a large proportion of which
might have been avoided by compulsory
school examination and proper
medical and nursing care.
Urgent Need of Nurses.
lT.rther proof of the general urgent
need of women trained in nursing was
supplied |>\ tim epidemics of Spanish
intluenr.a that have caused lerrilic
loss of life and suffering throughout
the country. Hundreds of thousands
of persons died, ami in many commit
nities the plague spread without an\
adequate means of theking it because
of the luipofs.hilhy of obtaining women
capable of caring for the \iclims'.
Reports show tlint mau.v persons ac
, tually died without attention because
the overworked doctors could no'
.xeaeh them all, nurses could not be
found who knew what to do, and
neighbors feared to go near the helpless
putients.
'The uselessness and danger of such
a waste of "human power" is only too
apparent, for the health and strength
of a nation can only he measured by
the health and strength of its people
Recognizing the fact that tlie crux of
the whole situation lies in giving every
community the means of building up
its own nursing strength, the American
lted Cross, in co-operation with
tlie various Chuutnuquas, is sending
broadcast the message that none can
afford to ignore.
Phases of Public Health Nursing,
Public health nursing includes many
phases, such as bedside nursing, in
which the nurse " isits the patient?
and gives them hourly care as neees
sary; school nursing; care of expect
?nt mothers, babies and small children;
work In factories and industrial
centers; rural nursing, and instruction
in Red Cross courses, home hygiene,
home dietetics, care of the sick
and various other forms of commit
nity service.
To all American women the Re(
Cross sends this message:
"If you are interested in nurslnj
as a profession, enter one of the train
ing schools for nurses, many of whiel
offer scholarships, and specialize !i
public health work. If you are al
ready a graduate nurse and anxiou
to enter this tield, the Red Cross ha
scholarships and loan funds whir
will equip you for this work. Wive
and mothers are urged to take the Ke
Cross Course of Instruction in Fiona
Hygiene and Care of the Sick so tlwi
they will he able to maintain to th
highest degree the health and to nuts
members of their household in time <
minor illnesses."
Throughout the length ami broad!
of the land the American Red Cros:
spreading the gospel of good health, i
sounding a call to American women I
adopt the study of nursing, either t
join a profession which is daily la
coming irtore highly valued or to f
themselves for nursing in the home.
The Red Cross lecturer soon to a|

service at home and abroad and \vi
expound the Ideals of health conservi
tion so often neglected in many cor

THE HORRY HERALD, CON?
BROWN ROT IN FRUIT.
Save Your Peaches and Plums From
This Destructive Disease.
Clomson College.?Brown rot of
peach and plum it* one of the most
widespread and destructive diseases
or fruit that we have to contend with
In many cases the entire crop is destroyed
just as the fruit begins to
ripen. Practically every orchard in
South Carolina is infected with it and
while it is widespread and very destructive,
it is at the same time easy
to control, according to Director H.
W. Barre, of the South Carolina Experiment
Station, by spraying with
lime-sulfur.
There are numerous commercial
brands of lime-sulfur on the market
and some of these have been tested
by careful experimenters and found
o he very satisfactory. The ordinary
commercial lime-sulfur solution has
been used at the rate of one
part to eighty parts of water
with fair success. This mixture
will control brown rot. Sometimes.
however, and under certain
conditions cf temperature and humidity,
it destroys a certain percentage
of the foliage. The safest and best
mixture to use is the home-made selfboiled
lime-sulfur mixture, made as
follows: lTse 8 lbs. of fresh quick
lime and 8 tbs. of sulfur (flour )to 50
gals, of water. Make this up by placing
the eight pounds of fresh lime in
a tub or barrel and add just enough
water to slake it. An excess of water
seems to drown the lime and retards
the slaking process. As soon as the
lime begins to crumble apart and a
violent boiling is set up. add eight
pounds of sulfur and stir in thoroughly,
adding enough water to keep any
pari of the mixture from becoming drv
or burning. Keep this well stirred
and allow the boiling to continue for
5 to 10 minutes. Special care should
'do exercised at this time to keep any
part of the mixture from becoming
dry. Enough water should be added,
in fact, so that the paste is thin
enough to be easily stirred. After the
boiling has continued 5 to 10 minutes
enough water sholud be added to cool
the mixture.
The trees should be sprayed two to
three weeks after the shucks drop,
and again at intervals of from two to
four weeks until the fruit begins to
ripen.
OAT SMUT.
Easy Control Measures Prevent Great
Loss.
Clemson College.?Oat Smut is the
i most widespread and destructive disease
of small grain. It frequently occurs
as a serious disease wherever
oats are grown if proper control me as,
ures are not practiced. This disease
I alone reduces the production of oats
! in this State by at least 10 per cent,
and in some fields there are losses as
high as 50 per cent, which can easily
i he prevented by inexpensive seed
| treatment, says J. L. Seal. Extension
I Service plant pathologist.
\ This disease is caused by a fungus
! which grows within the the tissues of
\ the plant. The spores germinate
' about the same time that the young
oat plants come up. and the filaments
I of the fungus remain alive in the oat
plants without apparently causing any
1 serious damage until the plants hegin
I to head in the spring. It then concentrates
its efforts in the oat heads
and fills np the piaces where the
grains should form with the black,
| sooty masses of its spores.
I As these masses of spores break up.
I they are scattered by the wind to all
parts of the field. Many of them lodge
on healthy heads of oats in thr flcld.
while others are infested in the threshing
operation; but in both cases the
. spores remain alive on the grain until
planted in the fall.
1 Seed for planting should not ho
saved from fields that show over 2 tc
5 per cent of smutted heads, and in
hat case the seed should he treated
: Even if a field is practically free ol
smuts and there are smutty field?
i near it. the seed should he treated
In fact, the material for seed front
, i
merit is so inexpensive that there i<
> no reason whv all grain seed to h<
planted should not he treated before

furnished the subject of chapters
made public of the War Department's
history of the "material" side
of winning1 the war.
The story of machine gun production
about which such a hot controversy
waged in Congress as a result
V the failure of the American aimy
to adopt for standard general use
the Lewis weapon used successfully
abroad, is told as follows:
"The manufacturing facilities for
machine guns in this country were
much more limited in extent than
the public had any notion of them
(wiicn tin4 United States enter d th"
war) or today. We had at the outbreak
of the war only two factories
which were actually producing machine
guns in any quantity at all.
"It was therefore evident that we
had to build up almost a completely
new capacity for production. Nevthclr.ss
we took advantage of what
facilities were at hand; and at once,
in fact within a week after the doc
laration of war, were placing orders
fo: machine guns. In this connection
the readers should bear continualh
in mind that throughout the develop
mont of machine gun manufacture
\vc utilized all existing facilities to
the limit in addition to building up
new sources of supply.
"In other words, whenever concerns
were engaged in the manufacture
of machine guns, whatever
their make or typo, we did not step
the production of these typ s in
these plants and convert the establishment
into factories for making
other weapons; but we had thorn
continue the manufacture in which
they were engaged, giving them orders
which would enable them to expand
their facilities in their particular
lines of production."
The statement shows that the two
Browning guns, the heavy and the
light automatic rifle (of the type
now in use by the troops in France)
were pronounced by the special test j
board which held a conference in
May, 1917 "the most effective guns
or their types known to the members,"
in addition to being designed

I Lewis guns also proved highly efficient
and were recommended by the
f board. Subsequently tho I yew is guns
' were shifted to aircraft work be1
cause of special adaptability and on
\ iccommcndation of Gen Pershing's
staff.
The report says there were great
. deaith of heavy machine guns for
< aircraft work to be syncronizc 1
4 with propellers. This shortage ex
isted in the French and British services
as well as in the American. The
Browning aircrcaft gun would have
j met the re<iuirements, but it would
v b< a long time before it could be
produced in quantity. In seeking a
slop gap weapon until the Browning
r could be ready, the ordnance department,
by "one of those surprising
and almost accidental successes''
s sometimes encountered, found that a
a modified Marl in gun which could be
^ quickly produced met all requircj;
ments . Gen. Pershing cabled ir
November, 1918, "Marlin guns now
n rank as high as any with pilots an J
are entirely satisfactory."
is "Tho first twelve American divise
ions to reach France," the report
y continues, "were armed with Hatch
kiss heavy machine guns and Chau

government. More than 1,000 Vick

_ [ L - ?
European countries failed to apprc j
riate the value of a large calibre, *
iiard hitting weapon of this type and
the chief use of pistols and revolvers ?
n European armies had been as ornaments
for officers' uniforms it is'
said rather than for active fighting. ,
"The result of Europe's neglect,"'
the report says, "was that the small j
;alibre revolvers of the Germans and'
sven of the French and English were,
toys in comparison to the big Colts
that slapped the thighs of American
doughboys."
!With this weapon, it is stated,
"any average soldier with average "
training can hit what he shoots at. v
In almost the first skirmish it prov- t
ed its superior usefulness in trench v
fighting. Such incidents as that of <
the single American soldier who dis- i
persed or killed a whole squad of (
German bayoneters which had sur- t
rounded him struck the enemy with
fear of Yankee prowess with the J
pistol.' 1
This resulted in the addition of <
pistols to the fighting equipment of <
the American troops at a rate that l
overwhelmed, the supply. Every effort
to increase production was made j
but the army was forced to resort to 1
4:">-calibre revolvers to supplement 1
the supply. The actual rate of pro- i
duction reached just before the ar- <
nustice was 1,990 pistols and 1,283 ;
revolvers a day and the total num- 1
her of the weapons built during the :
war was 743,008.
The standard American army rifle 1
ammunition proved its superiority
in action, adding materially to the|'
accuracy of American small arms'
fire. Extraordinary measures to J
produce cartridges in sufficient num j
hers are recounted in the report and j
in *'n11 IT 1 " '
