VISITING NURSE FOR CAPE MAY CITY NURSE ASSOCIATION TO BE FORMED AND AFFILIATED WITH THE RED CROSS TOWN -AND COUNTRY NURSING SERVICE. 411 person* interested in forming a City Nurse Association, in affiliation with~the American Red Cross Town and Country Nursing Service, are- invited to attend a meeting to be lield on Fri- ' day evening, at 7.30 o'clock in the High School building. The proposed association affiliates with the Red Cross in order to avail itself of valuable assistance, as it supplies without charge all record cards, receipt books, bedside notes, monthlv report cards, etc. It also meets the expense of general supervision and inspection of its visiting nurses, giving opportunity for helpful suggestions. The 'Red Cross co-operates with the a Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., and the latter will help the Cape May Nursing Association, by paying fifty cents for every visit made by the nurse to its policy holders, thus giving the benefit to those most likely to appreciate it Although a nurse is assigned a certain locality by the Red Cross, she retains her position only upon the recommendation of the local committee. The services of the Red Cross nurse arc for the sick in their own homes. She carries out the doctor's orders and assists him in many ways. She teaches the proper care and feeding of infants to young mothers and prevention and cure for tuberculosis. She forms classes in home care of the sick, gives practical school room talks on personal and. domestic hygiene and does fcllow-up | work in the homes that is required by the medical inspector. This association, if organised here, aims to provide nursing service for psI tients in Cape May who need the short call of a trained nurse. These calls are made to patients who do not need, or who cannot afford a nurse's whole time, or who esnnot pay at all and are generally divided into three classes— free, graded and pay calls. Why not show an interest in something that is purely church and comjnunity work? Ornne on Friday and — ^ "lend n hand."

LAW MAKERS AT TRENTON ' MOTION TO CLEAR LOBBY OF 1 HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY FOR THE ' FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY— ' LEWIS T. STEVENS SEASHORE 1 PROTECTION BILLS HAVE 1 REACHED THE GOVERNOR. MONDAY EVENING'S SESSION ! For the first time in the history of a j i of the assembly, a motion to lnir the lobby on a Monday night was i made and almost failed of passage. This < happened when Assemblyman Barber. > of I'asBaic. introduced a resolution to | . clear the lobby because he could not • • ln-ar himself or anr one on the floor i - talk. Majority Leader Runyan, Republican, opposed, saving .ur. Barber insisted on having the worst seat in "the house, with the lobby immediately back of ' j him. He moved the resolution be re- ] ferred to the judiciary committee. . This aroused the ire of Mr. Barber, i who said he was not deaf and that he l desired to hear the arguments so that i lie could vote intelligently on mcas- ; u res. With the din of talking back . of him his constituency was deprived of his best services, he said. He de- . i Is re, I tiiat the judiciary committee had ■ - nothing to do with tic right of the • gentlemen from Passaie to hear what 1 was going on. "I have been elected bv the greatest i county in (he state." said Barber, "and - demand the right to hear: I want si- - lcncc and the only way to get it is to > clear the lobby," he continued. Mr. l'ancoast. of Camden, moved the i previous question, and the vote showed f the. resolution carried. But the sere geant-at-arms did nothing, and the si- . leneo the gentleman from Passaic wantt ed did not result. A touching tribute was paid to As- . semblvman Kates of Camden, when Aasemblyman Woolverton. also of Camden. introduced a resolution of sympathy for the member because of the p accident which almost cost the life of Mr. Kates in his home town last week, when he was injured while working as a volunteer fireman. '* Several other members paid tribute to Mr. Kates and Mr. Martin, of Hudson. leader of the house minoritv said: "Wlille we Democrats regret the lar«r majority of Republicans in the house, 'we do not want to see anv of ., *hem injured physically, least of all Mr. e Kates, wly, hss endeared himself to us all bv his tnanlv qualities." Majority Leader Runyan, of Union. r paid a high tribute to Mr.' Kates for "the first year men." those who had just begun to know him. The resolution wa4 adopted unanimously, by a riai_ ing vote. K Senator Hennessey, of Bergen, intros dueed a resolution, which was passed, directing the New Jersey harbor comi- mission to submit to the senate within two weeks, the result of the investagations of its chief engineer, who has made a study of the recent coastal erosions which destroyed properties of municinalities along the Atlantic coast, together with such reeomendations as d may be desired to be made. The resolu- '• tion states that expert engineering ad's ,-jpp is necessary for the proper steps to prevent further damage to ahore resorts. The New Jersey harbor commission reported to the house in response to direction to do so passed last week, that the abandonment of the Morris canal would have an important bearing on the transportation and industrial eondi(Continued on fourth page.)
