The primary object of this course
is to teach women personal and
household hygiene in order that they
may acquire those habits of right
living which will aid in the proven
ton of sickness and the upbuildipg OF
a strong and vigorous people, and to
give them simple instruction in the
care of the sick in their own homes
which will fit them to render intelli-
gently such service as may be safely
entrusted to them. Preparedness

giene and home care of the sick may
well be of as great importance to a
household or a community for use IN
behalf of the country at large.
This course is also required as a
preparation for service in connection
with the base hospital units now be-
ing organized by the American Red
Cross for service in event of war. In
selecting women for such service the
preference will be given to those who
have had not only the course in ele-
mentary hygiene and home care OF
the sick, but also the other courses
of instruction offered, including first
aid. These courses may be taken in
any sequence desired, as they are not

ton of dressings, but to prepare in
der that correct methods may be
widely disseminated.
The course consists Of 8 lessons of
about three hours duration each.

largely practical, each class should
be preceded by a short talk on the
purposes of the required dressings,
materials, etc, with review OF the
preceding lesson.

surgical supplies; materials and cost;
cleanliness; sterilization; purposes
and methods; accuracy in prepare

consecutive, and the order in which
they are to be studied depends upon
the convenience of the pupil.
Those selected by the chief nurse
OF base hospital unit for service
will be designated as volunteer
nurses aids" and for such selected
individuals it is hoped that a limited
number of hours of practical expert
ence will be provided by the base
hospital with which the volunteer
nurses aid has been asked to serve.
When called into service, they will
be under the direction of the CHIEF
nurse of the base hospital unit, who
must be an enrolled Red Cross nurse.
They will serve without pay, but may
be furnished transportation, lodging
and subsistence. Volunteer nurses
aids and others who may hold Red
Cross certificate, are cautioned
against representing themselves as
Red Cross nurses, or conducting any
form of Red Cross relief work with
out definite authority from the Ma
tional Headquarters. The courses OF
instruction indicated above also form
convenient basis for selection and
classification of women Tor service
in convalescent hospitals, diet kitch-
ems, refreshment stations, rest rooms
and in the preparation of surgical
supplies, clerical work, information
bureaus, and in the training of those
| who have become unfit for their US
| ual occupations through blindness
loss of limb, ct cetera.

The White Sox and Athletics are
going to play an exhibition game at
Fort Sheridan next Sunday morning
and the spectators will be the stu
dent officers in training there. Never
before in the history Of the game has
such an affair been scheduled.
Some time ago it was suggested to
Pres. Comiskey of the White Sox and
Pres. Weeghman of the Cubs that
major league exhibitions be arranged
for the benefit of the soldiers at Fort
Sheridan and the sailors at the Great
Lakes training station. The baseball
officials took to the suggestion i'm
mediateIy. The naval station will
get it's share of games and the Cubs
will do their share.

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL SORTS BOXING
MINOR LEAGUES BLOW-MAJORS
TO GRAB FLOCK OF PLAYERS
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Loud detonations are heard 4
throughout the country, resulting
from the almost daily blOw-up of
some struggling minor league which
has found it impossible to meet eX-
penses because Of war prices and in
clement weather conditions.
The effect of these explosions will
undoubtedly be felt in the major
leagues, where several second divi-
sion teams, and even some in the
first squad, are planning radical
changes in their line-Ups. The early
demise of the minors will make some
of the better bush material available
for try-Outs earlier than is usual,
and steady procession Of them to
the big show may be looked for with
in the immediate future.
BY selling off their good men the
minors will be enabled to come some
where near an even break financially
and every one will be satisfied.
Manager Mitchell of the Cubs is
one pilot who will take advantage of
minor league failures. Several good
prospects who were slated for trials
late in the summer will probably
come to the team when it returns
home from the eastern trip. In case
of emergency one or two may be or
dered to the club in the east. Nick
Carter and DiIlhoefer reported today,
but this deal had been on the fire for
some time.
A first baseman is expected from
the Texas league, and the Southern
assn is to yield a shortfelder. Both
of these circuits have been having
hard going, it is understood, and a
bit Of ready cash at the present time
would look good to them.
Mitchell is dissatisfied, to put it
mildly. He expects no high position
in the race, but he does expect some
better baseball than his people have
