WHY NURSE DOESN'T HOLD JOB
LONG

Carefully gathered statistics appear
to show that the marrvingest of all
women are trained nurses. Though
complete figures have not as vet been
compiled, from a considerable mass of
data the conclusion is drawn that nine
ont of ten trained nurses marry during
the first seven years of their occupa-
ton as such.
When pretty young woman speaks
of devoting her life to the self DENYING
profession of trained nurse she is
using, perhaps unconsciouslv. a mere
figure of speech. Statistics show that
she has an even chance to be married
within four and half years and that
she has one chance in eight of becom-
ing the wife of a physician. The
chances are five to one that within ten
years she will marry one of her
patients.
The Importance of these figures from
the viewpoint of the sociologist is obvi-
ously great. Pretty young women in
steadily increasing numbers are enter |
ing the field in question. in which there
seems always TO be plenty of room for
fresh recruits, who are required to fill
the places of those who get married and
pass out of the profession forever. Thus.
owing to the causes suggested, it is rare
indeed to discover a trained nurse who

Our first experiment was in MAX

culture has been most successful It
is not generally known that John D.
Rockefeller has the largest violet farm
in America at Tarrytown-on-t the Hud-

part of the country.
THE first rule is TO keep the tenn
perature of the greenhouse between As
and so degrees. Violets are spring
flowers and wither and droop if
the temperature is not at the right
degree. Most people think the double

IN BURNING CRADLE
Small Children Sleep I'M
harmed Amid Fire
And Smoke

Monday noon between IL and
o clock, small blaze occurred at the
home Of Max Grodnick on Southeast
Second street, the flames from which
partially devoured q pillow on which
the two little Grodnick children were
sleeping at the time. and, strange as
it may ssen,. neither Of the children
were injured either by ire or smoke.
A paper hanger had been at work
during the morning and pile of old
paper torn of the parlor walls was
lying on the aoor when he left for his
dinner. Between this parlor and an
adj dining bedroom is an arch, under
which stood a crib with the sleeping
children. The fanny were outside
and were suddenly startled to SEQ
! smoke issuing from the parlor. A
bucket brigade organized ny the
neighbors did good work and within
q few moments the FIRE had bsen ex-
tipgoished. The children lay in reach
of the fire, but were entirely IN
harmed, although the pillow on which
they slept was somewhat burned. It
is regarded as q fortunate circum.
stance that the windows were open,
allowing the smoke to escape. thus
lessening danger Of suffocation. The
origin OF the ire Is ascribed to the
grinding OF q match underfoot by
some person within the room.
| The damage was Slight. being con.
fined principally to carpets.
