Glory. who are you getting those letters

Glory smiled. He was getting along,
but he hadn't said the right thing yet.

Glory Ann lifted a merry, wilful face

Davy heaved one long sigh of relief as

mans luck is as hard as adamant
If be is not in love with the work he
does as with a maid he woos. 1t is
miserable thing to care for ones occu
patton merely because it shuts out the
thoughts that burn like irons If you
think" Any trade or profession you
could name is poor affair If it is but
time killer, a stop gap, an opiate, the
ballast of the dirigible life. You hear
a man start his work with faint tap
at clock stroke, and you hear him
drop it with a loud thud at another
clock stroke. and you know his soul
and his brain are not alive in the thing
that he is doing. Why? A thousand
men are thousand reasons why.
ANY man who can be accurately stig
matized as efficient dreadful words
brings all of himself to the task in
hand. He brings not merely his sixth
sense and his fourth dimension to bear
on his concerning handful, but every
bit Of vital electricity in the storage
batteries Of his whole being. When hp
has done his level best he is, as we
ironically say, played OUT and he il
supposed to take a rest, which may as
sumo the form of harder labor than
ever in a wholly different field Of en-.
deavor.
In fact, the man who has formed the
habit Of work is never happy to be idle
1t is no use to extend to him the pros
pect Of complete hiatus in the name of
vacation. The program of the null
and void would assure him an acute
uneasiness. There is a saying that M
ture abhors a vacuum. So does a real
live man, the son of nature.-Philadel

The Hospital Doll.

One of the newest adjuncts to the
hospital training school for nurses is
the hospital doll, which is pronounced
the most cleverly devised manfkin in
the world. 1t is life sized doll, by
means Of which the pupil nurses are
taught how to handle a patient.
This dummy is finished in material
closely resembling human flesh to the
touch. and Is especially useful in tea CHI
ing the nurses how to administer baths
of various kinds to helpless patient.
The doll is wonderfully jointed. so that
it can be placed in almost any position
taken by the human body.
The pupil-nurse who has been trained
with this manikin IS competent to
handle real patient. The openings of
the ears and nostrils are exactly like
those OF the human head, and the
pupil nurse is shown how these organs
should be cared for The big doll has
hair, which has to be combed, and it is
dressed and nndressed. and banda ged
for all sorts of injuries.
In addition to it's external resem-
hlance to the human body, this mani
kin can be opened for the study of a
number of interior organs. and is the
most complete and perfect model for
Teaching human anatomy that has ever
been produced.

He also pointed out the danger of
spread Of disease from the fact that all
doors and windows of the building
were unscreened. and that the general
health conditions in the school are not
adequately supervised
Another local defect, according to
Prof. Gore is the fact that there oc
ours incomplete combustion in the gas
engine at the Takoma School. He
stated that the cooperation OF the
local school authorities will probably
he secured in the attempt to remedy
the general health conditions.
The resolutions requesting the inves-
tigation will be forwarded to the Fed
Grafton Of Citizens Associations for ac-
ton at that body's next meeting.
The association also instructed Its
committee on education to present the
urgent need of Takoma Park for an
increase in school facilities to the
board of education and to the Commits
sioners. pointing out the increased
needs Of the community due to its
growth during the past few years.
The necessary land is already acquired.
The action of the Federation of Citi-
zens' Associations in appointing COM
mittee to cooperate with committees
from other civic bodies in presenting
the merits of the half d-half plan to
the Joint select committee of Congress
was approved by the association. as
well as the published attitude of the
commissioners to insist upon full in
formation on the matter before action.
