CHIEF NURSE MADE CAPTAIN -- The outstanding and meritorious work of First Lieutenant Della H. Raney, chief nurse at the Tuskegee Army Air Field Station Hospital, was rewarded by a recent promotion to the rank of Captain. She is the only Negro Captain in the Army Nurse Corps assigned to duty with the Army Air Forces.

Capt. Raney, prior to her entrance into the Armed Forces, was operation supervisor at Lincoln Hospital, Durham, N. C. She left Durham in April 1941 to report for duty as the first Negro nurse in World War II. She was also the first Negro to be appointed chief nurse and the first to be promoted to First Lieutenant.

Captain Raney, whose home is Suffolk, Va., was formerly a student at Virginia State College and received her nurse training at Lincoln Hospital, Durham. After graduation she served successfully on the staff of the Community Hospital, Norfolk, Va., and the K. B. Reynolds Hospital, Winston-Salem, N. C. The newly promoted nurse-captain is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Raney of Pine street, Suffolk. (Official U. S. Army Photo by AAF Training Command).

It was a moving performance, and we all enjoyed his "medical and physiological lecture" as much as we did the minstrel show which immediately followed. It is always a matter of surprise to me to discover how gullible the human race is in the matter of sickness and disease. It is here that our miracle-believing tendencies still survive. Year after year, the same persons loaded up with medicine show cures never questioning for a moment the claims made by the quacks who sold them.
Probably they were actually helped by the stuff for the simple reason they believed in it. That is quite possible.
But one year there came a medi-
ne-showman who, it seems to me, 
shed credulity just a bit too far,  
sold "medicated cups" at 
enty-five cents each, boldly ad
tising his product as a universal 
re-all, a dirt-cheap Balm-in-
