DEVOTED MOREE NURSE.
Her Fine War Service Record. MOREE. Saturday.
Last week Ald. C. G. Hobbos received disturbing news concerning the health of his sister, Nurse Narelle Hobbes, who for the past three years or more has been engaged in tending the sick and wounded at the front. Prior to volunteering for duty Miss Hobbes, who had spent many years of her life in Moree district, was matron of the Brewarrina Hospital, a position which she relinquished for the sterner duties at the front. When first she offered her services her state of health was not all that could be desired, as the responsibility and arduous character of her duties had left their mark: but she was determined to go, and eventually paid her own passage to England. The voyage home, and the rest, it entailed so far restored her health that immediately on her arrival in England her services were accepted, and she was sent straight away to Malta, where she remained during the whole of the Gallipoli campaign. From there she was transferred to Mesopotamia, where she continued her good work almost ever since. Her health remained excellent, but one night, whilst out on an open boat in the Tigris River watching the phosphorescent glow caused by the darting hither and thither of the fish, a finny denizen of some size leaped clear of the water and Nurse Hobbes received the full force of the blow on the side of the head, as she was leaning over the side of the boat at the time. The effect of the blow rendered it necessary for her to be conveyed to the hospital, and whilst in that Institution, she was unfortunate enough to contract pneumonia. On recovering, sufficiently to leave the hospital she was granted two months' leave of absence and was sent down to the hills in India. Satisfactory health conditions not manifesting themselves the family (of which Ald. C. G. Hobbes is the eldest) determined, to find out what was actually wrong with, the devoted nurse, and accordingly sent the youngest sister, Elsie, over to India on the mission. Two days before Miss Elsie Hobbes arrived in India an official cable was received by the family as follows: 'Regret Sister Hobbes seriously ill — tumor on the liver. Simia. " Three days later a cable was received from Nurse Hobbes herself, "which read as follows: "Getting on well: expecting Elsie tomorrow. Bombay." Then two days later, a third cable was received from Miss Elsie Hobbes as follows: "Narelle seriously ill. Operation useless. Home first hospital ship by Durban if fit." By the wording of this last, cable it is a matter of doubt to the family whether the operation had been performed and found useless, or whether it is considered useless to perform the operation at all.

STOCKTON.
Captain Hocquard received a cable message from his daughter, Nurse Hocquard, oil Saturday, advising that she had arrived safely at Salonica. Nurse Hocquard left with other nurses by the steamer Mooltan, and disembarked at Alexandria. Three days later, it will be remembered, that the steamer was torpedoed. Captain Hocquard has another daughter nursing in France, and one of his sons is still on active service, the other one having been killed some time ago. The captain himself has made repeated applications to enlist, but has always been turned down on account of his age.

Sister Katie Payne Hodge, an Australian, was awarded the honour ‘Royal Red Cross’ in January 1918

Many South Australians in the State will be interested to know that Sister Katie Payne Hodge, R.R.C sister of Mrs. V. K. Jones, of Mount street. Perth, returned to Australia by the s-s. Indarra, which arrived at Fremantle on Saturday last. Nurse Hodge was in England when war was declared, having just completed a two years' course of special training in which she gained first-class honours; and although the passage was booked for her return to Australia she immediately offered her services to the Imperial Government and was detailed for duty within a few horns of the commencement of hostilities. She was first sent to Woodhall Spa, in Lincolnshire Pettwood the beautiful country mansion of Capt. and MrS. (now Sir Archibald and Lady) Weigall (the Governor-elect of South Australia) having been offered to the Imperial Government as a hospital. After a considerable term of duty under ideal conditions Sister Hodge was transferred to a hospital ship carrying wounded from Gallipoli to Lemnos where the conditions were the reverse of those at Pettwood. From the hospital ship she saw service in many of the war zones in France, where in 1917 she was awarded the Royal Red Cross (first class) for commendable devotion to duty in the care of wounded soldiers during the bombing of a British hospital by enemy aeroplanes. Sister Hodge's war service has been so continuous that it was only quite recently after being invalided back to England from Germany, that the distinction was conferred upon her at Buckingham Palace. After the armistice she served with the army of occupation in Germany, and was demobilised in February last. Sister Hodge returned to Australia as the guest of Sir Archibald and Lady Weigall.

HUNDREDS OF MILES OF BANDAGES
Busy Workers
Quiet City Room Where Band of Women Does Invaluable Job
In a quiet room high above the city on Wednesday, while the Tobruk men were marching through the streets, sat Sister H. Payne Hodge and some of her 80 helpers at the Red Cross Surgical Dressings Department. While the crowds cheered in the streets, the only sound in that room was the creaking of the bandage machines operated by willing workers. Sister Payne Hodge has been in control of the department since its inception two years ago yesterday.
DURING that period 11 units have been completed, each unit comprising the necessary dressings — bandages, triangulars, gauze, swabs, towels, etc. — for 600 beds. This means equipment for 6,600 beds. The bandages alone have numbered over 100,000, and each one is six yards long. The materials are all new, and are supplied by the Red Cross Society, while many country branches have sent in material and completed dressings to assist the department. How much has been accomplished is realised only when a survey is made of just a short period. For instance, from July to September the following were sent to the Red Cross store: — 5,517 roller bandages. 3,212 triangular bandages, 288 T-shaped bandages, 280 ''many tailed'' bandages (all beautifully sewn at the sides to pre-vent the material tearing), 120,328 swabs of gauze. 552 finger stalls. 716 muslin bandages for plaster of paris. and hundreds of masks, eye bandages, or other dressings. In addition 669 bundles of old linen were collected — and Sister Payne Hodge wishes they were double the number. 'In fact,' she laughed, 'we are positively screaming for clean old linen. Perhaps some kindly housewives will hear us and take the trouble to look some out for us. Civil
Defence Work
In the past two months additional work has been undertaken by Sister Payne Hodge with voluntary assistance from her 80 workers, to provide dressings, etc. for Civil Defence. This means providing bandages, dressings, swabs, bags, pillow slips, operating stockings, screen covers, dressing gowns, bed gowns, and numerous other articles. Already several units have been completed and deposited in Government stores ready for any emergency. When the last war broke out Sister Payne Hodge was doing slum work in London. 'I loved the work, particularly the old women, and it is from my association with them that I feel I know the spirit of England.'' she said this week. Sister Payne Hodge not only knows the spirit of England, but the spirit of the army and navy. She joined up with the Queen Alexandra Nursing Service, and was in a hospital ship at Gallipoli. Awarded R.R.C. Later she served in France and Belgium, and after the armistice was with the Army of Occupation in Germany. Her war service extended from 1914 to 1920 and she received recognition from King George V. at Buckingham Palace when she was awarded the Royal Red Cross. ''The German women hated us being on their soil,' she said, 'and on one occasion when we had a puncture, they came and spat at us. It was a most unpleasant experience. 'In Cologne, where we lived in one of the finest buildings, all the furnishings, such as the curtains and the upholstering on the chairs were made of paper — the Germans were so short of materials. One wonders how they are managing in this war.' Sister Payne Hodge has all the simplicity of those who have talked with beggars and kings. After her investiture she was entertained at morning tea at St.James' Palace by Queen Alexandra. 'Her rooms were decorated with roses, while the flowers at Buckingham Palace were all chrysanthemums.' she said. 'At that time Queen Alexandra was a little old lady. 'Sister Payne Hodge also had afternoon tea with the Prince of Wales, now the Duke of Windsor, when he stayed with Sir Archibald and Lady Weigall at Government House in Adelaide.

Calling Old Cobbers
AFTER 30 years of wondering, Sister Con Clerici, of Gladstone st., Sandringham, now knows where her bridesmaid, Sister Ada Hodson, is living.
"Calling Old Cobbers" found Sister Hodson; she is still nursing in South Africa. Sister Clerici, who went to India in 1917 with reinforcements for the A.A.N.S., was married in Bombay in 1919, and Sister Hodson was her bridesmaid.
After leaving India, they lost touch with each other. The day after Sister Clerici's call for her old friend was published in"Cobbers" column, Mrs Menkes, of Upwey, visited her.
Mrs. Menkes, who came to Australia from England four years ago, is Ada Hodson's sister. She passed on Sister Hodson's South African address, and a latter from Sister Clerici is on the way.

Obituary
MISS W. A. C. (Mina) HOLMES
Residents of Narandera who were acquainted with Miss. W. A. C. 'Mina' Holmes, and other people who were in the Narandera District Hospital during the time she was matron there, will regret to learn of her death, which occurred in Sydney on Saturday last, 2nd October. Miss Holmes was matron at the Narandera hospital for about 12 years, and during that time she had proved herself to be a capable administrator and a very efficient nurse. The large number or nurses who successfully completed their training while Matron Holmes was in charge of the hospital, with credit to themselves and to the hospital spoke volumes for her efficiency.
About five years ago Miss Holmes moved to Sydney, and for a time conducted a private hospital. She however, met with an accident and for some months she had been an invalid.
She is survived by one brother (Mr. P. G. Holmes, of the Western Lands Office, Sydney) and two sisters (Mrs. Madge M. Goff) and Miss Francis G. Holmes.

MISS H. HOMAN DEAD.
Nurse's Lifetime of Service.
By "Athena."
THE late Miss Helen Homan, one of the best known and most loved personalities in the nursing
world of this State, whose death occurred in Perth on Sunday, gave a lifetime of service for her
fellow men. Her whole life was an example of those ideals which have made the nursing profession
one of the finest which women can follow. At a time when the army nurses are once more making
history, it is interesting to look back over Miss Homan's military career. Leaving Western Australia
in June, 1915, with reinforcements for the 1st Australian General Hospital, she first saw service at
Cairo and the following year went with the unit to Rouen, France. Her next move was to the 2nd
Australian Casualty Clearing Station and it was while serving as a sister in this forward position
that the Royal Red Cross was conferred on her. She returned to the 1st Australian General
Hospital at Rouen for further service before being transferred to England as matron of a camp
hospital, and on her return to Australia in 1918 she took up civil nursing but remained on the
Australian Nursing Reserve and was principal matron for the Western Command from 1926 to 1930 which saw her retirement from military life. Despite her distinguished army career, it will be among sick children that she will be best remembered. A trainee of the Melbourne Children's Hospital, Miss Homan was one of the first matrons of the Children's Hospital in this State, holding this position from 1911 to 1925 (with a break of service during the war years). Even when she resigned from this position to take up civil nursing it was children who claimed her interest and for many years her time has been devoted to her work as matron of a private hospital for little sufferers. Miss Homan was always keenly interested in the progress of the new generation of nurses and for 21 years was an active member of the council of the Australian Trained Nurses' Association in this State.

'Staff Nurse Hoooke has served under me since June 1915. Her knowledge of practical nursing is good, her administrative capacity poor. She is handicapped by training done no nursing for some years, but I find she is recovering her past knowledge and duly becoming more efficient. She is very zealous, keenly interested in her work and her patients, reliable and becoming more self reliant. Her ward is not always quite smartly kept but her patients are always thoroughly well cared for. She has not during this period acted in a rank higher than that she at present holds. I consider her fitted for promotion in due course. 30 October 1915'

Nursing the Turks
Staff Nurse Bessie Hooper, who left with a nursing unit in May, has written to friends in Adelaide as follows:- "We are 1,600 ft. higher, consequently much cooler. The railway service is splendid, one evidence of the greatness of British rule. The place consists of a large hospital, remount station and garrison, and a straggling native village. The climate is delightful. The patients are Turkish prisoners - all surgical cases - and the poor fellows are grateful, and clean and immaculate in person. Two of the smarter ones help with the dressings, and they are quite clever and deft. If you could see some of the cases, you would say Gallipoli has been avenged. The men stay here until their wounds are healed, and are then sent on to an internment camp. Those unfit for service are sent home again; so grateful were the last lot for the kind treatment received, that they told their comrades, and hundreds surrendered. In fact, they say some of the officers are going to take up arms for the British." The Register Friday 07 September 1917 page 7 |

Woman's Trips To Big Game Country In Eastern Bengal
Holidaying in Adelaide with her sister. Mrs. Reg Goode, of Mitcham, Mrs W. J. Berry, whose home is in Dacca. Eastern Bengal, has seen much more of Indian life during her 17 years there, than is the good fortune of many European residents; for her husband is a special officer attached to the public health department, and his long and frequent trips take him to many outlying parts of the Bengal province. Yesterday Mrs. Berry recalled her visits with her husband into the foothills of the wild Chittagong Mountains, a happy hunting ground for big game shooters. 'But I was quite content to see nothing bigger than droves of wild monkeys drinking on the river banks, and chattering shrilly as our motorboat went by,' she said. The goal on this occasion was Rungamutti, an isolated little group of villages on the borders of Assam. Here Mr. Berry supervised the building of works to purify the river water, a formidable task in some respects, because allowance had to be made for the abnormal rise of the river during the monsoon season. Before these works were erected. Mrs. Berry said, the health of the villagers was appalling, due to the contaminated water in the wells.
University Life
Decca itself is an important administrative centre, with a University, and Mrs. Berry said it was interesting that positions which. 10 years ago. were filled by English professors, were now staffed by natives who had been educated at Cambridge or Oxford. Women attended the University as students, mostly medical, as the need for skilled aid was tremendous. Just outside Decca a residential agricultural college for natives was being built. Students were being selected from various villages for intensive training, so that, in their turn, they might be of community service. 'Race days at Dacca are colorful occasions,' said Mrs. Berry. 'The Punjabi and Gurkha regimental pipe bands parade, and I never cease to be amazed at the way in which these natives have adapted themselves to English music. The racehorses and jockeys, to unaccustomed eyes, are most amusing. The horses are hardy and unkempt little animals, which the natives ride bare back, going 'all out' for a mile or so round the course. Of course, there area few imported horses, but to me they are not nearly so much fun as the wiry little B class mounts, as they are called.'As president of the Bengal Province Council of Women, Mrs. Berry has studied thoroughly the social welfare problem as it affects the natives, and, although women are gradually realising what is being done for them, their apathy is still a stumbling block.'The higher class women, for instance, who subscribe to various welfare movements, hesitate to renew their subscriptions because they can see no concrete results,'' said Mrs. Berry.
Mixed Baby Show
Mrs. Berry has amusing recollections of a native baby show at which she was a judge. The contest was held in a garden, and because some of the mothers were 'purdah' and others members of the 'untouchables,' the committee had a lively time in allocating special sections for the various castes. 'We rigged a temporary pavilion for the 'purdah' mothers with gunny sacking,' said Mrs. Berry, 'and all went well until some masculine visitors peeped beneath it. As for the 'untouchable' babies, they were put in a corner by themselves, and their mothers looked thoroughly depressed until a member of the committee presented a number of frocks for the children. Unfortunately, the babies out numbered the frocks, and only a hand-to-hand scuffle decided the issue.' Mrs. Berry, who before her marriage was Miss Bessie Hooper, of Adelaide, will return to India in September.

Hornsey, of Launceston, and the late Mr. John H. Hornsey, to Mr. W. J. Connell, "Benwerrin," St. Leonards, was celebrated by the Very Rev. Dean Hennessy.

Her hat of apricot baku had swathe of velvet in slightly deeper apricot tint. The bride's sister, Mrs. Landon Fairthorne, was very smartly gowned in navy crepe de Chine, inset at the waist a line in front with the material on the cross and finishing with a sash at the back. A vest and cuffs of beige geogette, piped with scarlet, were becomingly in contrast with the frock and a large droop hat of navy baku was worn. After the ceremony the wedding party lunched at the Brisbane, Mr. and Mrs. Connell leaving immediately afterwards for the North-West Coast. The bride travelled in a frock of almond green silk moracain, with Jabot collar and cuffs of white georgette scalloped and embroidered in green. Her hat was of lemon felt and she also wore a handsome pink marmot coat. Mr. and Mrs. Connell will reside at St. Leonards.

Army sister retires
Past and present nurses farewelled Sister M. F. Howman, recently acting matron of the Repatriation General Hospital, Caulfield, at a cocktail party held at the nurses'home last night. Sister Howman has been 27 years at the hospital—the longest period of service any sister has given at Caulfield. Leaving Australia in May, 1915, Sister Howman served with the Queen Alexandra Imperial Military Nursing Reserve in Egypt and France, and was for some time on hospital ships. On her return to Australia she continued her nursing, and has been on the staff of military and repatriation hospitals ever since.
