Nurses for Army Hospitals.

With a continuance of the war; In
the next year at least 10000 nurses
will be needed In army hospitals at
home and abroad. OF the 10000 grad
uate nurses of the country only 35oo
have so far been assigned to duty IN
army service, and of this number l9oo
are in France.
An army nurse must be a graduate
of training school for nurses ana
must have served for two years in a
hospital. They are assigned to duty IN
the United States or abroad, and pref
erences are granted when conditions
permit. Nurses who prefer not TO nave
service abroad will have their prefer
ences respected.

appreciate that many hundreds of men
are trained In that profession? Why
did they not try to get the best posi-
BILE manager, even though their choice
might happen to fall on one who did
not possess the happy qualification of
being bale to induce them to buy the
mine?
An Instance of Successful Operation
Under Leasing System.
Not all examples that might be cit
ed are along the line of carping criti-
cism and to maintain the proper ratio
one good example will offset the four
horrible ones. A certain company is
operating its mine on a leasing sys
tenn. This is commonly held to be the
last resort and is used only when the
ere bodies are approaching exhaustion
and the mine Is in extremis. AS a
matter of fact the general manager is
broad minded, and he believes so thor
oughly in the efficiency of accurate ac-
counting that he is able to select the
most profitable method with no UNI
certainty. His operations on both the
system of company operation and leas-
ing operation gave exact figures, and
by far the most money is made by the
company, and larger dividends are
paid, under the leasing system. SO in
the face of natural opposition he in
stalled that system, with the result
that his company is earning more
money the mine is in a better physi--
cal condition, the holdings of the COM
pany have been constantly enlarged,
and the profits of the leasers are great
err than they would be under the days
pay method, Therefore the workers
are more contented, and the net result
il an excellent Industrial organization.
Imagination judgment initiative have
had their place in determining the at
titude of the management and the
outcome is highly profitable one from
any viewpoint. These are elementary
qualities, but backing them up and ma
king them effective in mental make
up must be self-confdence, the conf
dence that, convinced Of the accuracy
of it's Judgment, goes ahead to develop
along the lines aimed at. But self
satisfaction is sure antidote to pro-
gress, and there, in all probability, lies
the answer to the lost so per cent in
efficient capacity. Satisfied with pres
ent progress, no effort at self -analy
sis is made. and a chosen field Of work
develops it's possibilities only when Il
new mind is brought to bear on the
problem, a mind which has the quail
/ ties, even in a small degree, which
make for better organization and more
intensive results.
There are many volumes dealing
with the development and training of
mental qualities, but the first step is
to recognize ones deficiency. AS soon
as this is taken, judgment and initia-
tive begin to leaven the whole lump,
and ways to reach the goal take form
from within.

BOY SCOUT BOND SALES.
They Dispose Of Over One Hundred
Million Dollars.

The report of the work of the Boy
Scouts of America in the second Lii
,berty loan drive has been made public.
1t shows that the Boy Scouts were
directly responsible for the sale of
$101, 1873, 600 in bonds.
This means that they procured
about 5h per cent of the total sub
scriptions to the loan, and the number
of bonds they sold show that they. Sc
cured l subscription out of every 49,.
This is splendid record for the
boys of America and hopeful sign
FOR the future of the country when the
boys of the land are willing and able
to perform such valuable public SER
vice.
1t is to. leave them SUCH national
heritage as our forefathers Of the re-
volution bequeathed to their descend
ants that the proceeds of the Liberty
loan are to be used.

CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTS.
Avoid DANGER of Fire by Using Electric
Lamps.

The candle Lighted Christmas tree Is
a dangerous entertainment for any
home. The resinous leaves and wood
of spruce and balsam trees are easily
ignited by the open flame OF the can
die and the tree burns in flare OF not
flame which is very hard to extin-
guish.
TO eliminate this fire hazard string
of tiny, many colored electric lamps
are now used to fasten and decorate
the Christmas tree These lamps are
made in a variety of colored limitations
Of various fruits, flowers and animals
which delight children. They are at

readily attached to the nearest light

them the mine. Internationally may
say that mining engineers recognize
this procedure as one of the most
fruitful causes of mine failure. 1t is
done on the theory that the man who
has been in charge of the mine knows
most about it, but this is fallacy that

general manager, relic Of the metal

greatly increase his profits by install

ore was peculiarly susceptible. His
reply was that ''flotation is yet in its
experimental stages, and ] propose to
crush my ore with rolls and concen-
trate it with jigs." So he chose the
method that would be certain to show
the greatest losses, calculated at
minimum Of $4,000 months The

whether the instrument would benefit

holding the ear trumpet. while another
was explaining It's use and showing
old Mr.. Shortcash how to hold It to his
ear.
"Say something to him through II,
