The first Year Book ever prepared
by the state of Colorado has just
been completed by the State Board
distribution. Free copies are to be
sent to public libraries, county COM
missioners, educational institutions,
etc, but owing to the heavy cost of
production, general free distribution
to the public is impossible. The book
will be furnished at actual cost to
any who desire it, which is estimated
at 40 cents per copy, 1t contains
more information relative to the
state than does the Year Book of any
other state in the Union.
Subjects such as area, population,
county and town finances, educational
statistics, highways, railroads, tele-
phone and telegraph mileage, bank
statistics, per capita figures and n
wide variety of other information are
treated by counties in sixty-four sta
tistical tabulations covering 212 items
of information. Twenty-Five tables
cover 136 lines of information for
each of the 63 counties of the state.
The land of the state has been class
flied carefully by counties and consid-
cradle space has been given to crop
production and to information con-
cerning homesteads, national forests
and similar subjects.
In addition, the book contains sep
arate county stories giving authori-.
tative information concerning each
county. Another feature is the To-
cation and altitude of more than 300
mountain peaks and many lakes and
mountain passes, together with ia
BILE showing the distances of cities
and towns from Denver.
1t is impossible to enumerate in a
reasonable space the entire contents
of the book, but it has been pro-
nounced by the Governor and other
competent authorities to be the most
complete work of its kind ever at
tempted by the state.

should be remembered, furthermore,
that her usefulness will begin not
when she graduates from the train
ing school but as soon as she enters
it. Practical nursing work is a part
of the work of every training school,
and the student nurse is not only
learning to serve but serving her
country from tho outset.
Finsnces-The student nurse gets
her board, lodging, and tuition free
at practically every training school,
and in most cases receives a small
remuneration to cover the cost of
books and uniforms. After gradu-
alton she has an earning capacity Of
from S100 to $500 month. Private
duty nurses now receive an average
of from 500 to S12O month togeth-
er with board while on duty; institu-
tion nurses from $50 to $3.50 a month
together with board, lodging, and
laundry; and public-health nurses
from 500 to $3.50 month without
maintainance. There is no danger of
the earning capacity of nurses being
lowered after the war ends on ac-
count of the great number who will
then be qualified for the profession;
the country will need all the nurses
that can be trained, not only during
the war but after it, especially for
reconstruction work. Even if the
war ends within three years, every
student nurse will be able to COM
plete her training and will be needed
An Honorable Service-Ever since
the days of Florence Nightingale the
nursing profession has been one of
especial honor. 1t was never so hon
orable as it is today. The Army needs
every nurse it can get to "keep up
with the draft" The United States
Student Nurse Reserve is the equiva-
lent for women of the great National
Army training camps for soldiers.
The Government will rely upon the
student nurses to fight disease at
home, to care for those injured and
disabled in our hazardous war indus
tries, and to make themselves ready
to serve when the time comes as full
ly trained nurses, either abroad or at
home. Let us show that we know
how to answer the Governments call
to tho women Of the country.

The needs of platinum in war in
dustries and in the sciences are ex-
planned by DIR. Charles L. Parsons,
chief chemist, Bureau of Mines, De-
partment of the Interior, in an ar
gument for discontinuance of the use
of platinum in jewelry.
"The war can not be won without
platinum" says DIR. Parsons, "and it
is equally essential in times of peace
if our country is to excel Germany
in the development of chemical sci
ence and industry. With the aid Of
platinum from one ordinary wedding
ring about 100 pounds of nitric acid
can be made every "a hours. This
100 pounds of nitric acid converted
into high explosives will send a num-
ber of 3-inch shells against the Ger
mans and help to bring the boys
back home.
Platinum rings, pins, cigarette
cases, and mesh bags are not fac
tors in winning this war-explosives
are. I wonder if the purchasers and
wearers of platinum jewelry know
that explosives can not be manufac-
tured without the use of sulphuric
and nitric acids; that the manufac-
ture of these acids requires the use
of supplies of platinum; that air.
planes must have platinum for i'm
portant instruments they need; that
platinum is absolutely necessary in
the manufacture of special pyrome-
ters; that promoters are necessary
in all steel treatments; and that no
guns can be made without the use of
promoters.
'"There is shortage in the supply
of platinum. Russia has a corner on
the worlds supply, and Germany is
in Russia. Our domestic production
of platinum is negligible. while our
military requirements are increasing
at rapid rate"
