This (Tuesday) morning an efner- gency hospital will be opened in Bushnell chapel of the Central Baptist church on Union square for the ac- cemmodation of pneumonia cases re- sulting from Spanish influenza. Ar judgements for this hospital, which has been made necessary by the rapid increase in the pneumonia eases in town, were made at a meeting held in the Wauregan hotel at which were present First SeIectman c. K. Bailey, Dr. George Thompson, town health of f1cer, Dr. c. c. SGildersIeeve, medical Harper Dr. J. M. Klein of Colchester and City Health Officer pr. E. J. Brophy.
 Bushnell chapel, where the hospital will be located, is large and roorny, well ventilated. and with kitchen adjoining where meals can be pre- pared. The hospital will be opened between 10 and F o'clock today, as l soon as the sixteen cots have been set up and things put in order The phy- sicians who attended the meeting on Monday evening have volunteered l their services and will be in daily attendance at the hospital An urgent call is sent out for nurses to attend I the patients. These nurses do moi necessarily have to have experience ir nursing and any woman who wishes tt can apply at the hospital and render a great service to the city's afflicted 1 This affords an excellent opportunity to the members of the Red Cross tc 1 come forward and do some real niirs- ! ing, especially those who have taker 1 short courses in first aid.
 l Those who do nursing service at the l emergency hospital will be paid anC 1 the charges to patients will be tht same as charges made at the Backu: hospital
 On Monday evening Health Office, Brophy stated that there is still

seems to have associated the highest ideal of womanhood with the thought of light
 One of the earliest women meEtion ed in this connection was the FirIu- ous Woman, she whose price was above rtbles On her long list of ac- eomplishments it is written that "her candle goeth net out by night Then of course there is the parable uf the ten virgins half of whom were lool- ish with their lamps, and half wise. This story has an additional interest just now. for it would appear to hfove that even at that early date, there were five women who knew something about conservation, at least in regard to oil No less famous are the Festal Virgins, who watched and refunded i the sacred fires on the altar of Rome. And one of the loveliest ladtes of Greek legend is Psyche, who lit a lamp. But she who is dearest to American hearts is the magnificent bronze mai den who holds her torch high over New York harbor-our own Statue of Liberty--especially precious because she was a gift of France.
 l So when Secretary McAdoo sue l. sests, as fitting way to celebrate October 5th, which has been set apart as Women's Day. that tha women in all parts of the country should march 1 in torch-ilght processlons, the idea l seems to be one of more than usual
 significance. It is hoped that every 1 woman from Portland Me, to Port land, Oregon, and from the Great Lakes to the Gu,f. viii be marching on the night of October fifth with a torch in her hand so that the whole country will be ablaze with the light | Of loyal American wonahhood
