CALL IS ISSUED ID WOMEN FOR
 HOSPITAL WORK
Young Women Are Requested to Enroll In the United State.
 Student Nurse Reserve.

On the last mail the Nenana New: received communication from the 1 headquarters of the Council of Ma tional Defense regarding the enrol ment of the young women of Ameri ca in the United States Sudden, Nurse Reserve. The enrolment be gan in the United States on July 29th.
 The letter in part, says: Be. cause the nations reserve has been depleted by the calling of literally thousands of graduate nurses for service in military and naval hospi- tals, it is absolutely necessary i'm mediately to call 25.00O student nurses for training in American hospitals.
 Information regarding the service may be obtained at the News office. The call issued now is for 25,OOO women between the ages of nine teen and thirty-five.
 Mrs. M. J. Cooney, who is at the head of the Nenana branch of the women's committee, Council of Ma tional Defense, has not received any instructions yet regarding the en- rolment of young women in Alaska, but is willing to take the names of those desiring to join the service for future action.
 It is possible that the first call for 25,000 student nurses will be easily filled in the States, and that the young women of the Northland will be given an opportunity to answer the Governments call in the near future.

across from shoulder to shoulder with
l group of tucks front and back to
make for fulness. Perhaps the collar
is that old standby, the sailor, or per-
haps it is draped or rounded or very,
very narrow. The edges may be rolled
and whipped with a contrasting color
in mercerized cotton, or that adorable
filet edge. may be used, or baby Irish
or narrow Valeneiennes. Maybe a
string tie of silk or satin or cord is
added. Behold, the waist beautiful, FOR
it is simple and becoming.
Illustrated here is one of those just
500 waists worn under jumper dress
of extremely original lines. The waist
is soft white wash satin, and the dress
is rajah silk of wondrous hue of blue
green. The belt is of the silk, too, and
the buckle is eelluloid of the same
shade. Note the attractive way i'll
which the yoke shapes upwards over
the hips. This does much to add to the
youthful effect of the simple costume.
The other day in very smart exclus,

little morning dress of white liner
trimmed with percale! Yes, blue dotted
percale was used for the perky little
ruffles ON the waist and formed thu

There are garden hats of this mate
rial, big floppy sun-hats with bows of
white oreandie in the front; there are
parasols of percale, too, with insets of
organdie. In fact all the despised mate
rails of our childhood have advanced
their states into the vanguard of Fash
ion.
Speaking of capes, the one illustrated
here is one of the most attractive. 1t
is of Belgian blue taffeta, lined with
peach color, and seems the fitting com
panion for the stroll on the beach or the
boardwalk. The belt, of which only 0
Glimpse can be caught from the back
behaves itself in a manner more com
non to belts in the front, and thu:
urns the wrap itself to thoughts of be
ing coat. Perhaps coatee is better
name for it anyway, for it is neither ;
coat nor a cape.

EXCEL IN GAS WARFARE.
Allies Apply It More Effectively, Sen

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE allies
now excel the Germans in gas warfare,
Carl l.. Alsberg, chief of the bureau of
chemistry, told the senate agriculture
committee. They not only have more
gas at their disposal and are apply
ing it more effectively than the Ger
mans, he said, but in defensive war
fare they have more improved gas
masks. He predicted that a preventive
against mustard gas soon would be
found.
eve believe we are on the right
track, but we haven't yet got it, he
declared, referring to experiments now
being conducted by his department in
conjunction with the bureau of mines.
The United States, he said, itself soon

subcommittee, said the testimony
showed that extensive experiments were
