To the Young Women Of the
United States

Statement Of General Gorgas. in re-
lation to the Nursing Campaign,
under direction of the Weman's
!! Council of National Defense:
81 want every woman in the country,
every woman between nineteen and
thirty-five, to read carefully what |
have to say, and to give it earnest at
tention. 1t is a message which every
girl ought to welcome. because it tells
| of an opportunity to help the nation.
The army and the country face a
shortage of nurses.
The army alone will require some
| thing like twenty-five thousand nurses
by the first of next January. We have
secured thirteen thousand of this num-
Der; we need twelve thousand more.
We have got to get them or the army
will run short, aud this would be an
outcome incredible and intolerable to
the American people.
! Only graduate nurses who have been
thru the full course of training are
gavailable for this high service. These
I nurses have to be taken out of the hos
pitfalls and from care of the sick at
home. This means that when we re-
cruit our full quota for the army, their
places in the civil communities must be
filed. Hence, this call for student
nurses-to fill the vacancies, prepare
for professional service, and mean
while to make it possible for our hos
pitfalls, both civil and military, to carry
on, and for the American people to
hold the health standards of the country
as high as they have ever been held In
times of peace.
If | were young woman and wanted
to do my country the greatest servic e
in my power, | should go at once to the
nearest recruiting station of the Wo-
mans Committee of the Council OF
National Defense and enroll In the
United States Student Nurse Reserve.
This enrolment would at once make
me candidate for the Army Nursing
School. or for 1ne of the civilian train
ing schools for nurses. l cannot con-
ceive of a more valuable service, a
more womanly service. | can give
every girl who enrolls in the service
my personal assurance that she is max
ing herself count, and | should be
ashamed Of any woman who did not
long with all her heart and soul to
make herself count in the defeat of
Germany" (Signed)

No Open House for Rats.

Do not keep 'open house" for rats
by leaving basement doors ajar, for
ventilation without proper safeguards.
The management of a large depart
ment store in an eastern city recently
had a very expensive lesson in this
regard. Rats had been doing damage
to the extent of nearly $1,000 a month,
but by persistent trapping were finally
exterminated. The building was then
made "~rat-proof." But after a time
rats were again at their work of de-
struction.
Puzzled to know how the pests had
gained entrance, the management
learned that in summer the night
Waterman was accustomed to leave a
basement door open for ventilation.
Naturally the rats entered and an
other campaign Of determination had
to be waged. This expense could cas-
lily have been prevented, says the bu-
reau of biological survey of the depart
ment of agriculture, if a piece OF sheet
iron three feet high had been placed
across the doorway and the sides OF
the doorway sheeted with metal
or otherwise made smooth so that rats
could not gain a foothold. Rats cam
not climb over such barriers, as they
do over mesh or crossed wires.

Those who design suits showed us
Just how adroit they could be when
they managed their early spring offer
ings of wool. They had to be made of
the shortest allowance Of goods, but
the designers made a virtue of neces-
sity and the conservation of wool
worked to the advantage of styles.
Later they turned to several new and
heavy weaves in silk as a substitute
for wool and for midsummer they were
able to forget all about saving ma
terials and design suits of taffeta and
satin according to their w fancy.
These make the last of their offerings;
for now they must begin their work
for fall.
No one could ask for more than they
have done this season in giving us va
riety In styles. In the pretty suit at
the left Of the picture there returns
once more the banished plated skirt,
with four double box plaits, to COM
mend 1t to the possessor of q slender
figure. The short coat boasts side
plaits below the waistline, the design
err apparently determining to make the
most Of the privilege Of using plaits
again. The coat opens over q narrow
white vest, the straight pieces at each
side of the front having the effect of
scarf ends finished with pendent, silk
covered balls.

chjIdren's Clothes.

There are many serviceable frocks
of linen of heavy weave. For some
reason, some Of the smart children's
outfitters have put out an unusual
number Of linen frocks in yellow and
lavender; perhaps because these
colors are. off the beaten track OF
children's equipment. We must all
have grown a little weary of the in
cessant pink and blue conventionally
selected for little girls a few years
and more Ago., observes a Paris fash
ion correspondent. 1t does seem a lit
tie odd to put lavendereon a two-year-
old, doesn't it? And yet n of the
most charming frocks recently shown
by a children's dressmaker of note
was Of white Yoile, with collars and
cuffs Of violet organdie finished with
loose, coarse buttonholing.

Washable Walls.

Why should children prefer to write
on immaculate walls rather than or
writing paper? Because, first, their
mothers caution them not to do it, and,
second, because the walls are whittier
and the writing looks better on them
than it does on paper. But the time
has come when the mother need fear
for the white nursery walls no longer.
They can indeed, be changed from a
source Of irritation to education
al purposes by means of a finish which
makes them washable. In other words
all pencil, crayon and pen marks may
be washed away. Consequently, the
wall surface Is as good a place for
drawing pictures or making examples
as a blackboard. Although the finish
is intended primarily for the walls Of
the nursery, it may. be used in the
kitchen, living room or other part Of
the house where children are wont to
try out artistic ability on the walls.
The finish may be in any n OF a
number of different shades.
