SHORTER COURSE FOR NURSES NOW

SAN FRANCISCO.-Ten weeks only are required to. train young women who really want to go over seas as Red Cross nurses.
 The demand for nurses aids and lay women helpers far exceeds the supply. according to the announce ment just made by the Pacific divi- sion headquarters of the American Red Cross. Applicants must pass a physical examination and must be at least 25, and not more than 40 years old
 A six weeks preliminary course followed by 24O hours training in an approved hospital, fits the young women for service.
 School superintendents have been asked to start courses which will make possible the formation of Junior Red Cross Student Nurse Cadet Corps in high schools and junior colleges. According to Mrs. Harry A. Kleugel, director of the Junior Red Cross bureau, Pacific division, the proposed courses will give six months credit in accredited California hospital training schools.

 The story tells of small town youth who secures goodly in- heritance and journeys to the Great White Way to "burn it up." After various exciting experiences, he finds that his money has dwindled to nothing and learns that there are many unpaid bills to be met. After complications involving rich widow whom he asks to marry, he turns back to his home town and starts life anew, taking over his fathers chewing gum plant, where new ex- periences await him. Sparkling with a continuous series of humor- ous situations, offset by various dramatic scenes, this subject under the direction of Joseph Kaufman, presents a breezy story of rapid action and human interest, a typical George M Conan production.
 When produced at the George M. Conan theater. on Broadway some three years ago Broadway Jones" immediately proved itself the big gest popular success in which Mr. Conan ever appeared as well as the hit of the entire theatrical season. Frequently sought by motion picture producers without success, this story presents an admirable screen sub ject and with George M. Conan in the original character, should more than duplicate it's stage popularity among patrons of high-class pictures.
 The show will be shown at the Coliseum Sunday and Monday nights and the admission will be fifty cents, with reserved seats two-bits extra. The show will start at 8:30 o'clock Sunday night.

 You subscribe to the doctrine that small nations have the same rights as great and powerful ones; that might is not right, and that Ger many shall not force upon the world the dominion of her military masters
 You subscribe, when you sub- scribe to Liberty Loan, to the be- lief that America entered this war for a just and noble cause; that our soldiers in France and our sailors on the sea are fighting for right and justice. .
