MISS SHACKLETON NURSE
Explorers Sister Takes Course
at Babies Hospital.
WILL RETURN TO LONDON
Plans to Introduce New Meth.
DDS in Guys After Post
Graduate Work Here.

While Sir Ernest Shacklcton, the Ant
arctic explorer. is being entertained on
every side in New York, receiving a large
sister Miss Eleanor Hope Shackleton.
born. like himself. In Ireland. at Kilkee.
where their father is still In practice as a
physician, is quietly fulfilling the duties
of a trained nurse at the Babies Hospital
of the City of New York. on Lexington
avenue At 18th street, where she has now
been living for the last two months.
Miss Shackleton. who received her med
ical training at Guys Hospital, In London.
from which she was graduated with high
honors, has made speciality OF the care
and ailments OF infants. At the instance
OF the Canadian town of Winnipeg she
organized there what has now become
perhaps the principal baby and children S
hospital in Canada. and remained there
until her healt. broke down as the result
of hard work and the rigor OF the Cana
dian winter. Unlike her brother. the ex-
plorer. she docs not relish intense cold.
After regainins her health she deter
mined to take a postgraduate course at
the Babies Hospital In New York on
artificial feeding OF infants. II is 4
branch OF science in which. through much
study and experiment. this institution has
acquired a reputation not only here in
America but also abroad.
Miss Shacklcton is one OF the certified
nurses from other countries who have
been attracted by the fame Of the hos
pita TO seek by means of postgraduate
course tho opportunity OF becoming ac-
uuainted with it's discoveries and methods.
She plans 10 introduce them at Guys
Hospital when she resumes her place
there al the head OF the nursing STAFF OF
the babies ward.
Miss Shackloton is a tall. athletic look
ing girl with the same straightforward.
yet somewhat shy manner az her brother.
and with his peculiar gray Celtic eyes.
Perhaps the most attractive thing, how
ever. about this thoroughly wholesome
and pleasing specimen OF Irish woman-
hood IS her devotion TO the children that
arc placed under her direction. and in
whom. despite their number. she develops
an individual AZ well as personal interest
over and above that which they inspire as
mere scientific cases.
She has become 2 great favorite at the
Babies Hospital. the board OF manage
ment OF which includes John sherman
TIoyt Mr.. and Mrs. Oliver Gould Jen-
nings. Mrs John Hone and Il. Ogden
Chisolm. while the superintendent for
years has been Miss Mary Agnes Smith.

Let Nothing Stand in Way of
Longer Docks, His Plan.

Mayor Gaynor, Controller Prendergast,
Commissioner o. Docks Tomkins and two
other members OF the Board OF Estimate
discussed yesterday the plans for the ex-
tension OF the North River docks for
which Secretary OF War Stmson recently
gave permission.
The party met at the high pressure
pumping station in Gsnsevoort street.
Commissioner Tomkins told the Mayor
that the New York Central Railroad was
the big obstruction In the way OF further
pier building uptown. The company, he
said, would surely fight the plan for cut
ting into the street. The Commissioner
also told the Mayor that 1t was his plan
TO begin work Immediately.
Don't let the fact that YOU have 10
move the market stand in the way" said
Navor Gaynor. IF II Is good business
and the investment will pay We will move
the market
Commissioner Tomkins said the moving
OF the pumping station would be the most
expensive part OF the work.
Never mind that" repeated the Mayor.
"If il is good business TO move IT, don't
let that stand in your way"

The report that eggs will be remarkably
cheap during the Lenten season has been
discredited by another Washington Mar
ket authority. who says that his eggs, at
least. will vary little from the present
price.
Included in the imported fruits are the
star apples from Panama. which sell
for 20 cents each. This fruit has been
misnamed, from our point Of view, be-
cause II resembles the ordinary apple

more like an alligator pear than an apple.

"The polka, introduced In 1874. created
