Miss Elizabeth Fr.izer, a charming Amer
ican gill, who has the distinction of being
a popular m.ignrlnp writer nnd who has
Ju.-t icturned from France within the last
month, cuine to Philadelphia thh week to
tell us, out of the wealth of her experiences
abroad In the Amerlrin Ambulance Hospi
tal, Hint much that we. who would hdp In
enu'i fjcncles, aio learning Is simon-pure
wasto and that what Is really nesded Is
the (Ub.stitutlon by the Hed Cross of a
practical homo nursing course for the Ilrit
nld Instruction that la now given
PRAC'TIPA!. AVOP.K
In her pmc white costume with its nun
like coif, which managed to fall into grace
ful folds despite Us laundered htirfness,
Miss Krazer, as nhe sat In the drawing loom
of her hostess. Mrs. Chui chill Williams,
looked like the typical angel of mercy, who
must be the queen of every wounded sol
dier's dreams. Hut when sho recounted her
experiences as a vo'unteer inn so one forgot
all about the sui sed romance and could
think only of the soidld, drab reality of
war as It Is seen through the eyes of the
hospital attendant.
"In the first place." Miss l'rnzcr told me,
''tho position of volunteer nurse Is merely
that of underling tu the trained nurse. The
volunteer does what might ho tailed the
ditty Jobs.' She works and woiks and
works and goes to bed at night weeping
with tho ache In her feet nnd the pain in
her heart nt the sights she has seen.
"Abroad tho volunteers are called aull
lalres ' They are not paid for their sei vices.
Their board and lodging is not paid for.
Their uniforms and laundry aio not paid
for. Consequently, tho hundreds of women
who wanted to help and who, their char
acter references having been O. K'd, rushed
into tho 'auvillalre' service, had to be
women of somo means and were therefore
women not used to a great denl of phjslcal
wmk. Only tho.se glfied with the most
rugged health survived tho experience.
"I lemember my early days in the Am
hulnnco Hospital, frightful nightmares." blio
puckered her brow at tho lemembiauce.
"It was then that I learned to distinguish
the different qualities of anguish At first
all screams registered 100 per cent of ngony
to me, but later I found there were degrees.
Thero was tho loud outcry of tho man who
Is not In extremo pain, but whoso nerves
have been bo battered by shock and strain
that ho ls no longer master of himself.
DEGREES OF AGONY
"There was tho scream of the man so
unnerved by the horrors of war that he
howls at the approach of the doctor. And
thoro Is tho cry of the plucky soul, strong
to endure, but who3o agony has pnshcd tho
limit of human enduiance,
"These sights come hard for 'the novice
(to bear," Miss Frnzer continued, "but soon
sho becomes so preoccupied with htr mani
fold duties that they no longer unnerve
her.
"But 1 thought that tho first-aid course
which I had been careful to tako beforo
leaving New York had equipped me fully
for the simple duties I was going to nssume,
I found It more or less nn artificial knowl
edge. "Why I did not even know how to make
a bed. In a hospital tho making of a bed
Is a subject for reverence. When a wounded
man whose every movement ls an excruciat
ing pain Is going to lie twenty-four hours
overy day for weeks and months In a bed ;
when you have to make It up with him In
It; when It must present even under these"
conditions a perfect, unwrlnkled surface,
even though your patient cannot move and
Is attached to a network of apparatus
cords, pulleys, overhead weight and drains
all so delicately adjusted that the slightest
Jarring of nny of them call forth an un
nerving cry of torture from the wounded
man, your task In not an easy one.
"It took mo threo quarters of nn hour to
make tho first bed of tnls kind and I found
my patient limp and white nt the end of the
ordeal to which I had subjected him. Then
an old and experienced orderly came along,
gavo one look at tho bed, threw his handB
In tho nlr and undid my work. He made a
perfect bed In ten minutes, and such In time
I learned to make. But I did not have the
knowledge when I went there. There Is
much that we American women, If we want
to bo ot real help can do to prepare our
selves, but there Is great danger that in
our zeal we will do the wrong thing and
clutter our minds with entirely useless and
artificial knowledge."

STRANGE ADVENTURES
OF BILLY RUMPUS

By Former Smith
"Sometimes when ou think ou are
lre. ou are tied after all," thought Dllly
Slumpus as tie lay quite still on the giouud
after Mis. Hcnver hail gnawed the ropes In
two nnd let him tiep
"Whnt shall I do?' he whined
"lie brave ntid wiggle your feet," said a
tiny voice, so soft and sweet It startled
wry.
"Well, well' 1 wonder It that little voice
Is Inside of mo 1 must have n. telephone
all my own Yes. little voice, I will be
brave." answered l!lll us h- began to
wiggle his feet
He !ny quite still wondering what It was
that spoke to him " wonder If It could
bo my conscience," thought Wily. "I have
heard murh about lh voice of conscience,
but 1 guess we have to get Into a lot of
trouble brfoie we listen to It"
Uy and bj Hill) got up mice more, and to
ills surpilse he (ould walk'
"Slowly." said the little voice which
Hlllv began to leeognlnv
'Thank jou, llttly voice; 1 would not go
fast If I could, but I thank jou Jut tne
rame "
It was eiy dark bv this time, but Hilly
kept nn ili.1 on, slowlj ut first and then
a little ins'er, until by and by he saw the
lights ot Gonlvillf nnd he knew he was
nearlng home.
He had seen the lights befoie. but never
hnd they seemed fo bright to him "After
nil, there Is no place like home'' he ex
claimed lie wondeied why cverv thing was so
quiet and sti I. Wh vvoro they not search
ing for him" Ho -picted to see lights
bobbing here nnd thcie nnd to find parties
out looking for him, nnd he felt quite illsap-
At length ho reached his own homo and
tried th door. It was locked He rang
pointed "I suppose It Is the war spirit,"
he said "They would not miss a general
even In times of war."
As Billy Humpus trotted up tho main
street of Uoatvllle there was no one to be
seen. . He looked this way nnd that, only
to see the bright lights glistening In the
homes, and here and theie the sound of
music
tho bell and no one answered Then ho
rang It again more vlgorous'v. Then he
waited. Hy and by ho lunrd a noise Insido
and the door opened softly.
"Who Is It?" asked a volco which Wily
recognled as his wife's.
"It Is jour own Hilly," ho answered
"Oh' It's jou. Is it? Walk light In."
' Mj- wife thinks her own husband ls a
stranger," Billy thought to himself.
Mis. Humpus was ver.v quiet nil she sat
down by tho evening light.
Hilly waited for her to speak, but she did
not; there was nothing for him to do but
st-t the conversation. Mrs Humpus
thought sho would wait until he had told her
what had happened. SHE would not bo sur
prised at anything.
"I I captured the airship," started Blllj.
"I had a hard time of It, j-ou may ho sure.
I went to rescue the Ducklings, and what
do jou think""
Billy hoped Ills wlfo would say some
thing, but she did not.
"I wonder If she knows what happened?"
he asked himself under his breath. Then a
sudden thought struck him. What If Mrs.
Beaver had told his wife! Thero had been
time for her to do so, for had he not been
unable to walk for a long tlmo after Mrs.
Heaver released him?
He felt a chill coming over him !

sewing nnd binding. Then the flag, as far as
It was finished, was taken to tho manual
training depaitment nud there tho students
