lists" who would encourage the novice
to enter war work.
Majority Are
Privately Employed

According to Miss Nutting there are
slightly over ninety-eight thousand
registered nurses in this country Ten
per cent are ineligible for one cause or
another. Twenty thousand are already
enrolled. This leaves sxty-eight
thousand nurses to draw upon. Eighty
five per cent of these are employed in
private nursing, and Miss Nutting
recommends that special attention be
devoted to the levyng of recruits
from this field.
She points to the increased number
Of students entering the training
schools of the country. According to
her more than seven thousand have
been admitted beyond the usual num-
Der entering such schools, while thir-
teen thousand nurses will be grad
uated this year. She advocates the
plan for an army school of nursing
which has been approved by the sur
geon general, the heads of the army
nurse corps, the nursing department of
the American Red Cross and the COM
mittee on nursing of the Council of
National Defence, besides having the
support of women outside Of the pro-
fession. At the all day conference on
hospital problems resulting from the
war, held under the auspices of the

The Question
OF CoIored Nurses

About two years ago New York
doctor, who was an attending physician
at Bellevue Hospital when she was su
intendent of nurses there, went to
Washington to see Miss Delano, of the
Red Cross, in behalf of the colored
nurses. At the time Miss Delano
promised that she would arrange to
the interview a colored unit was
formed, known as the Lincoln Base
Hospital Unit. About ten months after
Its establishment it was dissolved
without explanation.
Last August letter from Miss
Delano was sent to the colored nurses
asking them to enroll for service at
the proposed base hospital at Des
Moines, and to recommend a chief
nurse. The nurses enrolled and
chief nurse was suggested. No further
word was received from Washington.
In September another letter came
from Miss Delano asking for the names
of about twenty of the very best col
be forwarded to them. The names
were sent in, but there was no reply.
On May 10, 1918, prominent col
ored nurse sent telegram to Miss
Oelano and also to the surgeon gem
eral asking about the outlook for the
admission of six colored nurses to the
Red Cross. The reply from Miss De-.
lano stated that the Red Cross was
entirely willing to enroll colored
nurses, but that no accommodations
had been made by the surgeon gem
eral. The reply from the surgeon gem
eral was to the effect that there we're
no accommodations for colored nurses,
but that 1t would be advisable for them
to keep in touch with the Red Cross.
Meanwhile it is of the utmost i'm
portance that while war has opened
many new occupations to women that
had hitherto been denied them they
should realize that they can perform
patriotic service of high order by
fitting themselves to serve in a pro-
fession which has belonged par excel |
lence to women since the beginning Of !

while there is the same SHORTAGE at
rcgstries and resulting inability to
meet the needs of private cases.
That this need is not merely local.
but national, can be attested by fig
ures from other states. For example.
III March. 1918, in Washington, D. c.,
the Nurses Registry could answer
only seventythree out of q total of
1928 requests for graduate nurses.
In spite of what appears to be
fact. some still maintain that the ma
tons resources are sufficient to meet
all nursing needs even after the 49,
600 women needed for war work have
been successfully taken out of the
ranks.
Miss Adelaide Nutting, director Of
the department Of nursing and health
at Teachers College and chairman of
the committee on nursing of the GenA
eral Medical Board of the Council of
National Defence, says there is no
shortage of resources, that the fail
ure to obtain nurses for private cases,
both through nurses registries and
physicians, is not due to war condi-
tions, but might be the case at any
time. Miss Nutting contends that
while resources are ample to take care
of the present nursing needs both for
war work and private cases there
might be shortage in three years if
take the regular three years. course in
nursing at the training schools are
encouraged to take the shorter courses
which at the end of few months per-
nit them to nurse the wounded"

views as to the danger of interfering

This definite view of one phase of
the present nursing situation in New
York is expressed by the capable head
Of a training school, who further
states that with the fewest possible
exceptions the sick should now be
cared for in hospitals.
The present Red Cross drive for
nurses in response to Surgeon General
Gorgas's call for $4,000 army and navy
nurses before January /, 1919. en-
phasizes the gravity of another prob
lem-that of meeting The nursing
needs OF civilians during the war.
Already certain hospitals are feeling
the shortage in trained nurses. Miss
Henderson, of the Central Branch of
the Y. ". c. A, reports a necessity
for trained attendants to supplement-
the shortage at the Roosevelt and
Presbyterian hospitals, the HOSPITAL
for Ruptured and Crippled and other
hospitals.

Dr. Howell, of the New York Hos

GOES FAB BACK IN HISTORY
French City Of Montdldier Was Of I'm.
portanee in First Millennium Ct
tho Christian Era.

The National Geographic society is
sues the following war geography bull
letin on Montdidier, a few miles east
Of Amiens:
"This little town, whose history
dates back to the first millennium Of
the Christian era, had a population
Of less than 5000 at the beginning Of
the war, but it was rich in historic
associations. 1t is said to have de-
rived it's name from the fact that
Didier or Desiderius. the last Of the
Lombard kings, was imprisoned here
in TIA by Charlemagne. 1t will be re-
membered that Charlemagne, having
put aside his first wife, Desiderius'
daughter, took up the quarrel of Pope
Adrian l with the Lombard monarch,
and after marching an army across
the Alps, captured the erstwhile ia
t~her-in-law's capital city, Ticinum,
and took the vanquished ruler back
to France, where he died In captivity.
"Montdidier is attractively situated
on an eminence on the banks of the
river Don. 1t is the capital of an ar
reimbursement in the department of
the Somme, and is 81 miles north of
Paris by rail, and % miles southeast
Of Amiens. Its chief industries be-
fore the war were %tanneries and the
manufacture Of zinc-white.
"When the tides Of war finally re-
cede 1t is probable that the three build
ings in which the citizens of Mont
didier took the greatest pride will be
crumbling ruins. These are the church
of st. Pierre, which was built before
Columbus set sail on his voyage of
discovery, and which contains q tomb
and font Of the eleventh century; the
church Of st. Sepulchre, a fifteenth
century edifice, and the Palais de- JUS
-tice, formerly the city castle. In the
last named building visitors before the
war were shown six unusually hand
some Brussels tapestries Of the sew
enteenth century. THESE were un-
doubtedly removed before the Ger
man entered the city.
"Montdidier's most. famous son was
P%armentier, thef,. scientist, who gave
impetus to the culture Of the potato
in France. A statue erected here COM
memorates his gift to the nation.
For a number Of years this little
city was governed by its own lords,
then passed under the dominion of the
counts Of Creepy and Valois. In the
twelfth century it became a posses
sion Of the French crown and received
a charter of liberties. In 1886 it Of
fered a gallant and successful resist
ance to the Spanish invaders" = .

4War Timer

81. 49, M
Asnoyel memento Of the great war is
aic1ock, which is made from munitions
both enemy and allied-collected on
the Somme battlefield by a soldier,
who afterwards used them for this
purpose. The body of the clock is a
German shellcase, and German cart
ridges form the legs. OF the three
cartridges on top Of the timepiece, the
two outside are German, and the one
gracing the center French, while the
two small ornaments between these
are Belgian bullets. The side orna-
mepts are made from Verey-light
cases, pierced to ADMIT Of a British
cartridge projecting through the top.
The pendulum consists ! Of five
French bullets, and the figures and
hands are bent to shape from copper
wire taken from German trenches.
To complete the whole, the clock
movement inside is also Of German
make, and, after necessary repairs, Ia
found to be entirely adequate.

Avoid Crouch and Live Lona.

Writing for the Minneapolis Jour-
nal, A. J. R. notes tile demise of a Sc
attic citizen one hundred and three
years old, and suggests that one Of the
reasons why he lived so long was
that he never grouched at the brehk-
fast table or elsewhere. Discussing
this, A. J.. r. writes ..$s,-s "a.
"The enjoyment Of breakfast and
Of the sunrise always comes so cas-
lily to me that I sometimes wall In
charity for persons who, I have been
led to believe, start the generous day
wrong by raising hades at the break
fast table. I will freely wager rs
cents that the Seattle c%entena-
rian who lived to be one hun
dred and three never fnsurged at
breakfast, never complained Of the
food, nor sneered at his wffe's cook

He Hadn,t Realized.

The custodian of an indianapolis
building recently hired a colored man,
George, to work about the building.
George had always worked as a "house
man" and came well recommended.
The first day of his employment, how
ever, George was out for lunch the
greater part Of three hours.
The custodian was naturally an.
noyed. "Where in thunder have you
been?" he inquired the minute he set
eyes on the erring George. "Me?
Why, Use been home takin'. a nap"
George answered, in a surprised tone.
II always takes a nap in the middle
of the day."
"Well, believe me-" the custodian de-
clared, "you don't do that any more.
You're needed around here"
Was George aggrieved? Not a bit
Of it. A most appreciative grin spread
over his face. ~: -.t%

One thousand improved wheat-har-

will be used in Washington state and
other states Of the Northwest this
year, according to farm-help special
lists Of the United States department Of
agriculture, and will effect a great saw

cut the heads from wheat and thrash
the grain as they travel across the
field, can be operated by two persons.
and each machine will harvest from
