APPEALING FOR
MANY NURSES

Surgeon General BREASTED Of the u.
s. Navy has sent to the American
Red Cross the following communica-
ton relating to it's drive to enroll
nurses for military and public uer-
vice:
Never before in history has there
been such q great opportunity for the
nursing profession to come forward
and render the greatest service posi-
bit to mankind In caring for this sick
and wounded. A large number Of
nurses will be required not only linz
mediately but for some time after the
war has ended to restore health. com
fort and usefulness to the manned and
injured who have suffered because Of
the enormous struggle now being
wa8ed in Europe. The nursing pro-
fession Of the country is cAlled upon
in the same way as the medical pro-
fesston to render the utmost service
of which it is capable.
Trained personnel il necessary for
success. 1t is not only the duty but
also mandatory that every trained
nurse who is capable of serving
should come forward at this time and
take up that part Of the burden which
is hers. Several thousand nurses are
needed to wait upon the personnel
Of the navy at the very large naval
hospitals in this country as well as
HdVAl OdoV lONPlLAlS III GOs
ropean waters. Unless the personnel
Of the navy receive adequate medical
and nursing attention, the control of
the sea- must suffer. therefore
urge all women nurses of training
and experience who are physically
and professionally capable of rem
dering service to come forward and
ment has been placed in he hands of
the American Red Cross. Under con-
gressional law, officers of the navy
are authorized to accept civil assist
ance from this great humanitarian
organization which has to date so
capably fulfilled it's purpose"
The appeal for nurses from the
navy follows close upon the state
ment of Surgeon General Gorgas that
the need for army nurses is acute. AS
both branches of the service have
designated the Red Gross as a re-
cruiting or enrolling agency for mil
made during the ten days Of the drive
for nurses, which opens June 8. to
enroll every graduate Nurse who is
eligible for war service. e..
Appeal will be made to married
nurses to return to practice, or at
least to give a few hours each day
or week to hospital or visiting nurs-
ing. or to service in dispensaries. diet
KITCHENS OF public health activities.
Graduates Of high schools and col.
leges are to be encouraged to become
student nurses in military or civil
hospitals. In order 20 free as many
nurses as possible for army and navy
service. the general public is to be
urged to start q Save a Nurse cam

need her attention.

beginners;
sAvoid a heavy meal Just be-
fore playing and don't take iced
drinks. This advice f. common
knowledge TO boys who have been
in training, but its importance is
often ignored by girls who have
lacked this kind OF instruction.
Every school should have. besides
a tennis court, a handbal court for
practicing strokes" With this COM
ment she shows that constant prac-
tice is essential If the sureness and
accuracy are to be developed that
make for success on the courts.
Makes Figure Graceful.
Summing up her argument that
tennis is a splendid sport for girls
and should be encouraged at every
opportunity, she makes the following
points:
It is a good. active exercise, but not
too strenuous.
It teaches one TO be quick and
graceful in footwork-
It develops plenty Of strength and
muscle.
It reduces the weight If one is in
clined TO be too heavy, and makes
the figure graceful
Il teaches quick thinking, because
one must always be on the alert to
find an adversary's weakness, and
place the shots accordingly.
