street. which sthey made headquar-
tiers. and some one Of the number
was always at hand to respond to

entire time Of no one nurse could be
given. For eighteen months they
worked. doing what they could to
make known the need Of such organ

ally an opportunity was given to pre-
sent the subject before the Woman's
