These dark days through which we are living are providing you with an opportunity to be instructed in some line of work, to gain some experience that will be useful to you all your life. Dont miss it. Because we are .going to be a pretty specialized people after the war, and you may find yourself paying a good round sum for the lessons you may have for nothing now. Courses of all sorts are open to you, you can choose what appeals to you most. Dont be one of the women who are going to feel left out of everything one of these days because they acted in wartime exactly as if it was peace- time. The opportunities of men and women are more nearly equal today than they ever have been. Thousands of women are going to retain after the war, specialized jobs for which they have proved themselves adapted. And there are going to be so many new jobs, in the great uprush of reconstruction overywhere, that there will be an unprecedented demand for labor. But meanwhile, if you are not in the uniform of a WAVE or a WAC, if you are not on the assembly line or serving the wounded in some hospital, take immediate advantage of the course in Home Nursing that your Red Cross is offering you. The world would be a better place to live in if every girl took this course as a part of her high school training, and perhaps some day it will be included in high school work. It k takes 24 hours, divided into hours! periods. Twenty-fou- r and then you have something that will be of inestimable advantage to , you all your life. Women for Emergency, Nursing. Something for nothing. Yes, that Is one of the strange fruits of a great war. Doctors and nurses are cruelly overworked these days, and as a result the always resourceful Red Cross is enlisting thousands of other women for emergency service at home. What do you learn? Well, you learn a hundred simple little rules about keeping the family well. You learn about things that cause illness, symptoms of sickness, how to take temperatures, pulse and respiration, and how to use sickroom conveniences. You learn about getting ready for the baby; care of the new baby; keeping an invalids bed fresh and comfortable; the use and purpose of medicines, and above all, immediate action in emergencies. Oh, when those emergencies arise, how we wish wed gotten ready for them! When the broken wrist, the sudden Inexplicable spasm or chill confronts us, how utterly stupid how criminally negligent we feel when all that we can do is wring our hands! When the small senseless body is rescued from the swimming pool someone may indeed run to the telephone for the doctor, but twice-a-wee- Every woman should know a good deal about nursing and first aid, if only to care for her family. Note in wartime, when doctors and nurses are scarce, and there are so many extra dangers and difficulties, it is especially important for every woman to be prepared. In many communities, the Red Cross is offering a short home nursing course, consisting of 24 hours of class time, divided into twice a week periods. The course covers care of babies and young children, symptoms of illness, simple nursing techniques, first aid and many other subjects. Taking this course may prepare you to save a life perhaps that of someone most dear to you. It will give you a sense of and save you many worried hours. The course is free. It will be worth many times the effort you put in to take it. if the . doctor is out on morning rounds a precious life may flicker out before he arrives. Short Course, But Long Joy. There is no woman, old or young, teacher, mother, housewife, professional, who will not be an infinitely more valuable citizen for taking this course. There are evening classes. Twenty-fou- r hours out of your free time now may be worth thousands of hours of happiness to you some day. Some years ago a small boy on our ranch was planing the bottom of a door for no conceivable reason except that he was 12, and it seemed a sound idea to him, the tool slipped and he got a deep gash in his groin. A girl who had taken a first aid course was visiting us and she very quietly saved his life, for no one else knew what to do. She closed the arterial wound with a tight pressure of lint and fingers, aad told us what to tell the doctor, seven miles away. The boy is a doctor now, with boys of his own; he is doing a good job, and he and his country have to thank a girl who knew. Another instance of what a very little knowledge will do is in the way babies are given their bottles nowadays. Thirty years ago we all had "colicky babies. After their morning meals they had sufficient fussing and handling to keep them comfortable, but after their six oclock bottles, how they yelled! Then, someone discovered the mid-mebubble. And with the arrival of the bubble a million shrieking nocturnal infants turned into a million serene little bundles tucked down into blankets and off to dreamland without a peep. It was divinely simple, but you had to know it Other things just as simple are waiting for you to discover them. Dont put it off a moment longer.
