Their Experience Gives Encourage
 ment to Norwich Committee.


 The committee of the United Work CTS, which is in charge of the public meeting to be held on next Tuesday evening in the town hall to bring be- fore the citizens the subject of secur- ing a visiting nurse, has found much of encouragement regarding what the work of such a nurse can amount to in the experience of Providence as in dicated in the report of public meet ing of the District Nursing association of that city. Continuance of the work and generous support for 1t was ad- vocated at the meeting.
 These nurses, said one speaker, are engaged in public health nursing in its broadest sense, not only caring for the individual, but preserving the public health. Daily going about in the city, s by-ways and dark places they are dis covering and bringing out into the sunlight of science the incipient men tai and physical defects of childhood, many of which are easy of correction in the beginning, but if, by reason lowed to develop, they will blast the life of the individual and prove a pos itive injury to the community.
 The assistant superintendent of nurses in her remarks stated that calls for a nurse may be sent to the office by anyone. The nurse answers all new calls, but she is not allowed to con- tinue on a case unless there Is a phy- sician in attendance, to whom she shall be subject in all medical and surgi- cal matters.
 The superintendent of health said in part: "As health officer do not come here to dwell on the humanitarian as- pect of your work, but I want to state few simple facts to show what you are doing to prevent sickness and to save lives.
 Your educational work among mothers for the purpose of decreasing | sickness amon.; babies was begun in l small way at first in 1908. In the five years previous to that time out of each

 "The physicians, clergy and others, perhaps, have a more intimate knowl- edge of the value of this work than the public. It is a work which we cannot afford, for our own good, to all low the association to curtaiL Indeed, we should help it to expand and grow.

"DIAMOND JOF RICKERT
 WANTS TO STAGE COMEBACK

New Orleans, April 2S.-Once upon & time Robert the Bruce leading slugger for the Scots, was down and out His batting eye was on the blink and his pitching arm full of cramps. For while he could see the home for incurables looming up in the distance He left his team, which had dsbanded on account of his inability to hit the ball. and sought seclusion in a mountain camp
 One day while he was reading the lat est version of Casey at the Bat" he noticed several spiders training on the diamond they had drawn on the wall One spider picked up a stick and strolled to the bat. After two wide swings at the pill he slammed one through short and scampered to first
 A run was needed and the spider made two attempts to steal. Bruce watched the game. Everything looked black for the spider. As the pitcher began to wind up the spider took a lead. Then a happy thought struck Bruce. 'If the guy steals second I am going back into the game and cop a pennant. !" he unused.

 Another run was added in the eighth Robertson opened with a single. Carroll famed. Frost was getting unsteady and Magee hit safely. sending Robbie to third Clark sent hot bounder to third, which Thomas took with his bare hand Robbie who attempted to score on the play was out Thomas to Higgins. Sloan then registered the third hit of the in- ming and Magee counted.
 Pels' Lone Chance
 The Pelicans lone opportunity to score came in the fourth inning. Hendrix opened with a two-bagger and took third on Reillys gronnder to short. With cne down. Hendrix attempted to score on Sylvester's grounder to Eliam and was caught at the plate. Sylvester ended the inning on an attempt to steal second
 The Barons on two other occasions looked dangerous, but Frost invariably frightened and prevented a score. The Pelican hurler was in great form himself and kept the eight bingles registered against him widely scattered except in the eighth inning. The big heaver, how ever, was not accorded the sensational support given Robertson by the Barons.
 Yesterdays victory gives Birmingham the big end of the series with the Peli- cans, the Barons having captured two of the three games played.
