NEED TRAINED NURSE
AT NEGRO BABIES HOME
Newly Founded Institution Must Ccnse
Unless Necessary Funds
Arc Rutscd.

Because it is improperly conducted
the newly founded Home for Colorcd
Babies. a day nursery at 70S Brook
Avenue. may be closed by the city
health authorities. This step will be
necessary unless conditions are i'm
proved.
IL would be sorry to see the nursery
closed said DR.. Roy X FlannaEan
Chief Health Officer. yesterday. THE
institution is now better prepared to
take care of children than the average
negro home, but that is not all that is
required. 1t is essential that nur Sc
be on hand to look after the infants
properly, or in time the place will be-
come as much nuisance as other COL
ored nurseries have proved.
while the Health Department will
not run the institution, we are going to
supervise its work. provided the re-
Quiremcnts arc met. / believe that H. is
needed and with proper direction will
be a big benefit"
Private philanthropy can save the
nursery and start 1t on it's way to good
service. 1t is estimated by Dr. Flan-
nagan that $50 month will pay for
the trained nurse. The nurse must be
secured If the home is TO be continued,
as mothers Will not be permitted to
leave their children in the hands OF in
competent women
The institution now houses sixteen
babies. IT was started by the Saliva ton
Army to relieve bad situation.
The Juvenile Protective Society, Rev.
II. D. {. Maciachlan. D. D.. president.
has undertaken to interest charitable
persons in regards to the nursery. and
II proper support can be obtained the
state Board of Charities and the Health
Department will cooperate to the
iuiieSt extent in the work.

While New York City. for instance, is
reported as having on file only 900
applications for the 1900 places in the
second training camp At Fort Oglc-
thorpe allotted To that city. Virginia
has already furnished more than 200
applicants for her quota Of 3i7 at Fort
Myer. In view of the fact that the
bulk OF the young men in summer

to send in their applications. which
are TO reach the examining officer at

that fully l.5oo names will he on file

It is stated by Mr.. Forward that the
average OF training, equipment and
apparent adaptability for command, of
the men Who have applied is high,
and fully up to the standard set by
Nirginians who went into the first
camp. Further in accordance with the
expressed desire of the War Depart

is considerably more advanced than was

s the last adoption fad:

Here's the last adoption fad:
A dispatch from Paris states that
the people of the city OF Nerdun
want some American city to adopt
it-that is. help build up its munich
pality and the other improvements
which have been necessary since the
recent engagements there. Only six
civilians are at present serving on
the fire department, which clearly
explains the need for help, and Am
bassador Sharp has sent an appeal
asking some American city to take
the responsibility of building IT up.
Suggestions were made last night
that Washington adopt this city, but
prominent business men did not seem
very enthusiastic about the idea, and
it is not likely that Washington Will
agree to take over the city. These
men say that the money being con-
tributed at present should go to the
starving people in France and not
to the building up OF city which.
il is probable, may he attacked again

New York. Aug. 22.-J. p. Morgan
e Co, announced that they have sold
sl5, 900 900 of 90-day British treasury
notes in this market and that further
offerings are to be made. The initial
offering was taken by local banks
within an hour after the offering was
made, and a number of banks found
themselves shut out. The notes were
sold on a discount basis Of 5iz per
cent.
The plan is to issue these notes,
which have the approval of the Uni
ted States Treasury Department. in
parcels Of s15.OOOooO until the issue
approximates sl5O.Ooo, 900. The plan al
so, contemplates making the notes
available to small investors.
II after the fixed sum of s150,O00, 900
is reached some of the notes mature,
more are to be issued in their place.
The proceeds are to be utilized in
reducing the outstanding British gov

The Federal Reserve Bank approves
the notes, this attitude being a re-
versal of its position of last year
when banks were warned against tie
ing their funds Up in unsecured for
eign issues.
