DEPARTMENT FOR WOMEN
MOTTO: "To live and learn and be all that not harms distinctive Womanhood" Tennyson
THE DALLAS EXPRESS, DALLAS TKXAS, MAY 22, 1920.
A MOMENT WITH THE
CONDUCTOR
JULIETTE LEE.
(Continued from last week)
Just recently my attention has
been called to a private school which
want to engage a capable Intelligent
nurae who will be able to teach ana
oversee the health conditions of th
pupils at the same time. The sal
ary offered Is a irood one. sllirhtlv
more than that paid any of the-
icacners. or course only a woman
of hlKh grade Intelligence can fill
this position and most of those who
can meet the requirement are al
ready satisfactorily employed.
From now we must make any
effort to, attract the Interest of our
Intelligent and best fitted young wom
en to the study of nurstnir. One, In
order to properly grasp the- growing
significance and Importance of the
nursing profession, shmild, at least,
be a graduate of a fist class high
school "or Its equivalent, but this
very liberal mlmlmum requirement
will not long; endure for In the near
future only the nurse of high grade
intelligence can fill this position and
most of those who can meet the re
quirements are already satisfactori
ly employed.
From now on we must make an
effort to attract the Interest of our
most Intelligent and best fitted young
women to the study of nursing. One,
In order to properly grasp the grow
ing significance and importance of
the nursing profession, should, at
least, be a graduate of a first-class
high grade Intelligence will receive
the proper recognition and advan
tageous placement As the nursing
profession has advanced In import
lance, It has opened up new and
more Interesting opportunities to
specialize along certain specific lines.
One now has the chance to select
a choice of preferred activity in In
stitutional work, public health ser
vice, private nursing, laboratory tech
nic, social service, sanitation, anes
thetics, office work and school posi
tions, all of which offer, demand,
and pay higher salaries than any
other places open to young Negro
women today.
Of course the pathway leading to
the highest In the nursing profession
is not strewn with roses. One must
expect to begin with drudgery if she
hopes to end with glory. This is
necessary in order that she may get
the proper conception of her whole
duty to herself and humanity. Yet
one. who enters upon the course with
earnest, sincere high ideals will see
in the unfolding and development of
her skill an intense human interest
found in no other field of endeavor.
The relief that comes to the suf
fering, the smile that comes to the
sad through the touch of her gen
tle ministration always bring to the
true nurse the satisfaction that she
is doing God's work. If her heart
Is right and her sympathy Is deal,
no task is too hard, no sacrifice is
too great as she, conquerer of suf
fering, pain and death, yields only
to the forces of love for God and
humanity. .
Young Negro Women of America
1 appeal to you to think well of
your future and consider the won
derful opportunity the "nursing pro
fession" offers you in financial re
turns and highest and best of all
the privileges to render service to
God and humanity."

CHILD WELFARE.
WHAT MAKES TF1E DADY CRYt
Light shining directly In a baby's
eyes is vcrv uncomfortable for him
and may wake him out of a sound
sleep and cause crying. Ixiud, sud
den noises, as a sharp scream or
banging of a door, may wake and
frighten a baby Into a fit of hard
crying. Hsunl household sounds he
should get used to.
Above nil thing; ,do not begin the
shaking habit by jogging his crib
or carriage when he wakes up and
cries. 1 have watched young moth
ers shake a baby In his carriage until
I 'could not stand it any longer.
Some not only shake from side to
side,, hut also spring the carriage
up and down, thinking this terrible
double motion will nrove more effect
ual. Jf the baby falls asleep after
surh treatment It is because he is too
tired out to stay awake.
When the cry of a young baby is
accompanied by drawing up of the
legs, a pained look on the face and
the sound Is strong and rather sharp,
continuing when he Is taken up,
rocked or walked with .then the baby
may be In pain. In such a case an
enema of warm water with a pinch
of bicarbonate of soda In It should
be given and the abdomen gently mas
saged to help expel the gas In the In
testines, which may be causing the
pain. A little of this warm water and
soda may also be given by mouth
and the baby held up against the
mother's shoulder for a moment to
help get up the gas on the stomach.
Usually after the gas is expelled
the baby will stop crying at once and
will be content to stay quietly in hla
crib. Rocking, walking with, patting,
and so on, do not help pain of any
kind. If there is no colic or dis
tended abdomen or other signs of col
ic, and the cry Is that of pain, pos
sibly the baby has an earache. To
find out. about this, press firmly In
front of the opening of the ears. If
there Is inflammation there, the baby
will jump when this is done. A hot
water bag or hot flannel should then
be placed over the tender ear; or, if
this does not help, the ear may be
gently syringed with a soft bulb
syringe and warm boric-acid solution.
Oas in the stomach and earache are
the two most common causes of sud
den attacks of pain in a young baby.
This treatment Is only for temporary
relief; the cause of the attack of
either colic or . earache must be sought
for and found by a doctor if it oc
curs at all frequently.
A baby may be crying from real
hunger, but this is a fretful cry, us
ually quite continuous except when
he Is actually taking the food. Loss
in weight, or failure to gain, and a
.hungry, pinched look will help the
young mother to deciue RDout tnts
cry. Holding, rocking, and so on,
will not stop It.

The club held Its regular meeting

See! a heavy weight is pressing;
Give him succor while you niay.
Lend a hand his load will lighten,
Show him kindness skies will bright
en. When the clouds of sorrow thicken,
When the way Is dark and drear,
Just a word, a look, a favor.
Showing sympathy In sorrow
Nerves the heart for its to-morrow.
"Bear, ye one another's burdens,"
Take your fallen brother's hand.
Lead him to the source of blessing,
Help him on the Rock to stand.
When he makes his great decision,
Morning breaks upon his vision.
"Bear ye one another's burdens,"
So the law of Christ fulfil.
Love bestowed upon the needy
Showeth best the Father's will.
Just a cup of water given
Marks tho way from earth to heaven.

"We may as well understand that
from this time on women will have
a greater part In the Industries of
the country In the future than they
have had In the past. The war taught
the women that they could perform
useful labor In the Industries of the
country and it also taught those en
