That the evening will be an enjoyable one to those attending is already an assured fact as those in charge are experienced in the line as the past successes will prove. The committee in charge met in their hall Monday evening and perfected plans. The prizes will be well worth playing for both in whist and pinocaIe and the other forms of entertainment will more than repay those who attend.

The Titanic was the worlds greatest ship when she sailed for this port and went down in mid Atlantic a. little more than a year ago. Every precaution has been taken to prevent such a. fate befalIing the ImpeTator. She has life boats for all and a double hull She is built on a vast scale in everything. Her anchors, for instance, establish new records for size and strengthsAl- though a transatlantic liner may not use her anchors for years at a time,

Immigration from Italy has averaged 207,000 annually, but future immigration from that country would be limited to, about 134, 500, while Greece would be limit ed to 10000 as compared with an average of about 2O,00O in recent years. Apparently immigration from Turkey would be cut down about one half. Of all the principal sources of southern and eastern Europe imrni- grafton Russia alone would seem to be little affected, as under the proposed law 1850 immigrants could be ad- Initted from that country annually as com pared with an average annual inn migration of 172,50O during the past ten years On the other hand, Ger many has furnished an average of 8 900 immigrants in recent years and under the proposed law could send 25O.OOO.'

A New Profession.

Another woman has invented a new
profession. Miss NJ. e. McCalmont, a
Brooklyn girl and a trained nurse, be-
came In the cours Of her professional
work superintendent Of the Civil hos
p3tal in Manila and later chief Of the
division Of hospital construction and
equipment Of the bureau Of health for
the Philippine Islands. Now Miss Nc
Calmont writes herself down az "hos-
pital specialist and consultant" and
has SO large a list Of professional en-
gagements that the need Of more WON
en- to take up the profession 10 conclu-
sively shown. Miss McCalmont's idea
grew out Of the condition she met In
the course Of her nursing work. She
found hospitals where initial mistakes
in construction and equipment had cost
many thousands Of dollars to correct,
others where inexcusable omissions
had added hundreds Of dollars monthly
to the cost Of maintenance.

Mrs. Hughes calls upon her women
