LICENSED ATTENDANTS WILL
SUPERVISE NURSING OF
THOSE NOT GRADU ATES

There are in this city women claim
ing to be capable Of caring for the
sick and willing to accept substantial
fees for their services who not only
do not know how to use hyperderm-
ic, bat confess that they have never
seen one. An instance of this kind
took place here not long ago. An
attendant was employed for patient
of moderate means through applica-
ton to an undergraduate register.
She was interviewed and questioned
regarding her experience and knowl-
edge of simple treatments, and was
apparently entirely satisfied with her
ability. When the patients home was
reached the nurse on duty was pre-
pairing the magic needle and upon
telling the newcomer when to repeat
the dose, "the cat was out of the bag
1t is from people of this kind that
the public is to be, in a measure safe
guarded by the introduction of lic-
ansed attendants by the State Board
of Examiners of Graduate Nurses.
Women licensed by this board will
give proof of an elementary knowledge
of bedside nursing. cooking, care OF
children and cleaning. They will be
supervised by graduate nurse. who
will visit each case at least twice a
week. and more often if necessary. BY
this method one registered nurse can
supervise about twenty attendants,
and each patient will be protected by
the efficiency and ethics of the profes-
sion.
This course has been made neccs-
sary by the shortage Of nurses. There
are in Virginia 1000 graduates. more
than 200 of whom are now in the Red
Cross service and 1856 additional
nurses will he called by the first OF
next year. If one graduate registered
nurse can care for twenty cases, the
situation will have been met in a way
to reflect great credit upon the State
Board which is Blazing the trail
for the entire country. Women who
are undergraduates or who have been
nursing for years can be licensed with
out examination at the discretion of
the board. and should apply lmmedi-
atelv to Miss Julia Mellichampe. eX-

ENTENTE LANDS BIG FORCE.
Troops VIII Guard Allies Supplies
Against Freed Germans.

London. July 13.-"Considerable en-
tertc forces" have been landed on the
Nurman Coast and are guarding the
railway to Petrograd, it is authorita-
tivelv learned. The landing was
made at the request Of the inhabitants
Of Northern Russia, and the object OF
no move is to assist Russia. More en-
tente forces arc en- route for the Mur-
nan Coast.
As result Of this landing, which
has been expected for some time, II
will be impossible for the Germans
to occupy and convert into U-boat
bases the ports of Murmansk and
Petchenga. which are ice-free through
ont the year. Furthermore. the
presence of allied troops on the Muir
man Coast prevents the immediate
isolation of Russia in the north by
the Germans. If the Germans aim to
hiring about such an isolation the!
will have to fight for it, and the Muir,
man Coast will be the extreme north
crn wing. of new eastern front"
