"lodina" is Large
But a Fine Nurse
By FRANK .T. TAYLOR
(United Press Staff Correspondent )
WITH THE AMERICAN ARM IKS IN
FRANCE. Oct. IS. They railed her
"lodina" and she was the surgical dress
ing; Queen. She was tall and extremely
stout and Willi her horn-rimmed glasses
she was more professional than beauti
ful o look upon. "lodina" was her
name in that hospital because of her i
philosophy, which put in a single word
was "iodine."
Iodine was applicable to any wound
that came her way. believed this big
American nurse. It was Interesting to
watch h r at her work. A man as bis
as she would be big: and clumsy, his
fingers would pet in the way of band
ages, and he would hurt you every time
he touched you.
But not so with "lodina." She was as
deft and gentle as the daintiest miss in
the establishment, as she removed band
apes, blnd-clotted and soiled, with a
couple of quick clips of the scissors, airi
after giving the wound a treatment of
iodine if the doctor did not prescribe
otherwise, wound up the wound with
new yards of fresh bandages and ad
hesive tape.
From a surgical dressing nurse's point
of view, which whs all that "lodina"
ever sot from her little nook of bottles
and instruments and banages In the
great army hospital, the war as just
one injured man after another. All day
they'd come, some new ones never seen
before, mostly old ones who had been
about for several days.
One after another she cleaned their
wounds and bound them up. day in and
day out. She is entitled to 2 service
stripes now, though all this time she
has never had a closer glimpse of the
front than the endless stream of men
pouring through her ward for surgical
dressings, iSlie sees them come in, set
well, and go back, but never pets away
herself. Sttnie have come back. re
woundec, for her surgical dressings.
"lodina's" nemarks are few. Usually
they consist of. "It looks fine today."
Ton df not see anything very fine look
ing about the wound, but since "lodina"
does, you let ber have the joy it's
about the only thrill her monotonous
work has. In the midst of wounds and
surgical dressings, "lodina" became
real frank the other day.
"Yes. I'm pretty well fed up on war,"
she admitted. but I can bold out as
long as there are ounded men. But,
say. if I ever catch the man who started
this war, I'll give him something: strong
er than iodine."
What's more. "lodina" is Just the per
son who could do it.

Indiana Harbor has for a number of
months been overrun with fakirs,
mendicants and beggars who not only
have solicited funds in public places
from all classes of people but have been
in some cases really insolent to those
who have rassed by without dropping
the requisite silver coins.
Citizens of that end of the city hae
been very much incensed at the efforts
and attitude of these undesirables and
sporadic efforts have been made to drive
out these people that are thus making
general nuisances of themselves. But
the efforts have been unavailing. Every

solicitors make their appearance and it
is safe to say that they have been pick

pitiful stories.
Yesterday W. .1. Murray, president of
the chamber of commerce circulated a

number of business men and residents
and addressed to the mayor and chief

It is belioved that the city authorities
will take drastice action t once on this
matter and that police officers will be
instructed to handle this matter vigorously.

No Effort Will Be Made to
Continue Daylight
Saving Law.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19. No further
effort will b made by congress to con
tinue the existing daylight saving law
and the hands of the clocks will be
turned back an hour on October 17, as
originally planned. This decision was
reached at a conference between con
gressional leaders and Chairman Bar
uch. of the war industries board, who
had recommended that the law remain
in force for the period of the war.
The senate recently passed a bill to
continue the law in effect Indefinitely
and it now is pending in the house.
Senator Calder, of New York, author of
the original daylight bill, said after
the conference yesterday that difficul
ties of the railroad administration and
other government agencies in arranging
schedules and anticipated difficulties in
getting final action on the bill by the
house contributed to the decision. The
war industries board urged continuation
of the law particularly because of its
value in the saving of fuel.
SENATE CUTS OFF
S140 MILLION TAX
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. The 6 per
cent differential against the undistribut
ed profits of business which the House
incorporated in the revenue bill was
stricken out by the Senate finance com
mittee yesterday. Senator Simmons,
the chairman, estimated that this would
cost the treasury 1140.000.000,000 in
revenue.
Under this change the income tax
rate on corporations would be uniform
at 12 per cent upon all the income,
whether distributed or not. The House
fixed the rate at 18 per cent on undis
tributed income and 12 per cent on that
portion distributed to stockholders.
Business Aral list Flan.
The Senate committee's action brings
to an end a controversy which has been
waged ever since the House voted to put
this differential in the bill. Business
corporations protested vigorously
against the differential, contending it
would be ruinous in a multitude of
cases.

V1TH THE AMERICAN ARMIES
IN FRANCE, Oct. IS War has made
the world infinitely smaller, as the
following tale of remarkable reunions
along tiie front shows. It is the
story up to date, of three brothers,
and it began back in California, where
they were in college, two years ao.
Several months before America en
tered " the war, these brothers seized
with the , desire to come to France.
At that time the big possibility was
the 'volunteer ambulance service, but
owing to financial circumstances one
brother could not come to Europe.
Brother Number One then was sent
along, the other two thinking they
might never see him again.
At the time America entered the
war. Brothers Two and Three had the
opportunity to come to Fiance in the
same service, and started for New
York to embark. There Brother Num
ber Two joined the aviation service
and parted from Three, the trio figur
ing it was broken
I.nck Is With Them.
Three continued to France, where,
by luck, he encountered Number One,
on a permission from the French bat
tlefront. It was then both One and
Three were transferred into the same
unit, and sent to the Balkans, to serve
with the French army of the Orient.
They served there until their unit
was recalled, wondering all the time
if they would ever see Brother Num
ber Two, the aviator, whom they
knew to be in England somewhere,
through the single letter which reach
ed them.
Crossing Macedonia, Greece and the
Mediterranean, Brothers One and
Three arrived in Italy, where a
Frenchman at the desolate army post
where troops embark from trains to
boats and vice versa handed one of
them a telegram. It was from the
aviator brother, who was at a little
Italian, tow n on the road to Rome,
through which their train passed en
route to France. He was In an avia
tion school.
The train stripped 40 minutes in the
Italian town, time enough for Broth
ers- ne and Thr to find Two. and to
R' t permission for him ti ride to Rome
with them, returning the next day
alone. It was the first re-union of
the league" as they called it. Before
the train reached Re me, wrecks stop
ped it, and in a muddy, wet little Ital
ian town. Number Two had to leave
at midnight. They parted, not expect
ing to gi-l together in wartime.

SMALL YARN SUPPLY.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19. No more
knitted articles made from materials
provided by the Red Cross will be dis
tributed directly to drafted men. This
order was issued yesterday. It is due
to the limited supply of yarn.
The Red Cross also announced that It

The Red Cross, however, will ship
comfort kits overseas and distribute
them through its foreign commissions.
