Women Rule Hospitals Now.

In the days before 1914 women were
rare in military hospitals. Today, ex-
cept for the doctors and the patients,
the military hospital is almost nun
merry.
This is one of the chief revolutions
wrought by modern warfare. The men
who used to act as orderiies are re-
quired for the fighting line. But some
thing more than this. The women who
took their places do the work infinite
ly better.
In the Third London General hos
pital at Wandsworth you End some
thing like 500 women attending to the
needs of 1000 wounded men. This
number includes $50 trained nurses

 The governor had Intended several days ago to order special elections 10 fill number of vacancies caused by members joining the army, but finally decided that was not necessary and that all such members might get fur loughs and attend the session if they so desired
 Eight different subjects, most of them of great moment and permitting of no delay, are mentioned by the governor as necessary to be acted on, as fol- lows:
 l. To provide funds for the payment of the school teachers of the state. They were paid last January and not cent since, nor is there a dollar available, and cannot be until next spring unless the special session is held.
 2. Assessed valuation of all property, real and personal, having been doubled through the efforts of the state tax commission created by the 1916 legis- lature, and by the railroad commission, a reduction of the tax levies must be had at once so that collections may be made.
