Almshouse Employees
Register 100 Per Cent.

A human-interest story. full of To-
cal color. evolves from the canvass
of team No. 25 of the Liberty Loan
Committee, captained by Walter S.
Schell. The committee solicited sub
scriptions IN the district of Derry
street, including the Almshouse.
The report of the captain and his
co-workers shows a registry of 100
per cent. for the Almshouse en-
ployes. Every man and woman on
the working stan of that institution
from John w. Farley, the efficient
steward, to Scotty, the indispensable
reformed Irishman, is the owner of
one or more Liberty Bonds. The
Poor House employees have set pace
for other folks by their hearty and
unusual response to the cause.

My Dear Mr.. Secretary:

My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
have examined with care the
memoranda and letters which you
transmitted to me with your letter OF
the fifteenth. l fully share the views
you express regarding the import
ance of the public service utilities as
a part of our national equipment, es-
pecially in wartime. 1t is essential
that these utilities should be main
tanned at their maximum efficiency
and that everything reasonably posi-
BILE should be done with that end in
view. | hope that State and local
authorities where they have not al
ready done so, will, when the facts
are properly laid before them, re-
spond promptly to the necessities OF
the situation.
| shall be glad to have you com
municate with the local authorities
whenever the information in your
possession suggests that such a
course is desirable and in the nation,
al interests.
Cordially yours,

and supplies have affected them as
they have affected everybody else,
and that united effort will be neces-
sary in order to meet alike the pub
lie requirements for service and the
corporate financial needs upon which
that service depends.
AS Secretary of the Treasury, l
must take official notice of these
matters. 1t is obvious that every
part of our industrial and economic
life should be maintained at it's max
imum strength In order that each
1oay contribute in the fullest meas
ure to the vigorous prosecution OF
the war. Our local public utilities
must not be permitted to become
weakened. Transportation of work.
an! the health and comfort of our
citizens in their homes are dependent
upon them, and the necessary pow
err to drive many of our war indus
tries and many other industries es-
sential to the war is produced by
them. 1t may be that here and there,
because of the prominence given to
less important interests Immediately
at hand, State and local authorities
do not always appreciate the close
connection between the soundness
and efficiency of the local utilities
and the national strength and vigor
and do not resort with sufficient
promptness to the call for remedial
measures. In such cases, am con-
fident that all such State and local
authorities will respond promptly to
the national needs when the matter
is fairly and properly brought before
them.
Our public service utilities are
closely connected with and are an es-
sential part of our preparations for
and successful prosecution of the
war and the unfavorable tendencies

NEED FOR MORE NURSES


A telegram from Miss A. Delano
director OF the nursing bureau service,
at Washington, received this week by
Miss Lillian L. White, in charge Of the
Pacific division, urged the immediate
need OF more nurses for work at army
environments in this country. Base
hospital units had been broken up
temporarily in groups, j: wss said, to
aid in caring for this emergency.
Two thousand nurses have been
sent abroad and 1000 more are waiting
mobilization for foreign service" Miss
White said. But our total must be
increased to 100000 if the war con-
tinues any great length of time, and
we must try to meet this military need
without demoralizing our organization
for civilian work."
The increased demand for nurses in
the military service has caused modi-
fication Of former requirements for en-
rolment. The age limit has been low
cred TO 81 years, and women more
than 40 years Of age may be accepted,
provided satisfactory examination can
be passed. Smaller schools for nurses
have been placed in the accredited
list, and applicants are judged on their
merits.
