Nursing As a Career
for Women
The Patriotic Service Of the Mar
ried Nurse.
BY JANE A. DELANO.
Director Of the Department of
of Nursing of the American
Red Cross

Married nurses by the hundreds
are brushing up" their knowledge
OF nursing, preparing to give part
OF their time TO the hospitals or
other local nursing activities. The
American Red Cross is calling 10,
thousands more graduate nurses
for war duty and these married
nurses are volunteering to give this
service that more nurses may be re-
leased for war work.
Nursing as profession has made
a marked scientific advance in the
past few years; ; and women who
have been out OF touch with the
training for even short time are
eager to have more up-to-date
knowledge OF the new methods, and
skill in the delicate work that Is
now required. Willingness and
sympathy, necessary as these are,
are no longer enough. 1t is by new,
exacting tasks that many lives are
saved which in a former war would
have been lost.
Some OF these married nurses are
taking this postgraduate work in
hospitals, some with visiting nurses
organizations or in the various
branches OF public health work.
Today there is an unprecedented
demand for all literature on the
subject OF modern nursing. And III
great numbers women who have
formerly been nurses are making ap-
plications for all kinds of informa
tion regarding the nursing situation
and how to be OF service. to the
American Red Cross and the army
and navy nurse corps.
The creation of an adeQuat nurs-
ing force for the army and navy
which will require '25,OOO graduate
nurses this year, leaves the ranks
of nurses in the civilian hospitals
seriously depleted. To fill in the
vacancies a line OF adjustment is
being made between the homes and
the hospitals. The graduate nurse
in hospitals or on private duty is
to to enter military serv
ice. Young women are urged to
enter hospital training schools.
Women who were nurses before
their marriage are being encouraged
to give part OF their time to nurs-
ing.

GERMAN BANKS TWICE
As STRONG AS BEFORE

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, March
S.-"If it is true to say that our in
dustry is twice as rich as it was be-
fore the war, it is equally true that
our big banks are twice as strong {"
Thus commences the years review OF
German banking position in the Frank
furter Zeitung, the leading organ OF
German high finance.
According to the reviewer, 1917 was
a year of amalgamatiens and extern :
sions in the German banking world.
Many small private banks have been
absorbed by their bigger brethren and
the latter have branched out in the
allied countries and the occupied terri
tories.
There was an enormous increase in
tie number of new companies organiz-
ed and of new stock issues, according
to the Berliner Tageblatt. One of the
largest stock increases noted is that
of the German Aniline Combine.

AMBULANCE PATIENTS
| HAVE DIED FROM GAS

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, March 8.-Carbon monozide
gas has caused deaths among patients
being transported with in the closed
bodies of some American made ambu-
lances equipped with exhaust gas
heaters, it is announced Ali precau-
lions now have been taken to insure
these vehicles being safe in the future.
Investigation disclosed the presence
OF gas in lethal quantities within
ambulances, it having passed through
highly heated iron parts and leaks
in exhaust pipes. Poor ventilation
was responsible for the gas remaining
in the closed bodies.
Orders now have been issued for
the boring of one inch holes at three
inch intervals in a double row through
the wooden front of all vehicles being
used by the American expeditionary
forces. Similar holes will be made
in the tailboards. All exhause heat
ers in the future will be carefully in
spected un6er operating conditions and
repairs Immediately made upon those
found even slightly defective.
All ambulance drivers and ordelie3
have been ordered to investigate the
condition of all passengers within thei.
cars at five minute intervals. This
will be done by requiring an answer
to an interrogation. Particular atten-
ton will be paid to the condition of
patients when ambulances are at a
