years, will change it on July 81 tc
Lenox Hill Hospital.

cided upon two months sgo and the
permission of the Supreme Court had
been received for the change.

we rename the hospital" said Mr.
Heye yesterday. Among them are
Mrs. William jay, who lives near it,
and who thought At sholld be called
the Edith Cavell S1Iospital But the
trustees already had acted. because
there was q constantly growing misun-
derstanding concerning the patients
the hospital received. For years we
have taken patients of all nationallties
although in the beginning cur clientele
was almost entirely German. We in
tended to rename the place the Cos
mopolitan Hospital, but that conflicted
with another institution
The hospital is for the fee medical
and surgical treatment Of the sick poor

cordng to its announcements 1t is

and endowments, and has a dispensary
and training school for I,urses. In

Sugar ON All Pastry
Barred by Food Board
Icing ON Cakes Is Tabooed in
Conservation Programme
Of Director Hoover

Pastry with icing and other sugar
coated delicacles of the bakeshop
passed into sweet memory yesterday
with the promulgation of an order by
the Federal Food Board prohibiting
The use of sugar for such purposes.
Not only must the chocolate and va
nlla roof of the tempting cakes come
off, but the snowy sprinkling atop
crullers and crumb cakes is classified
as non-essentiai use for sugar.
The order, which places premium
on home made goodies, was expressed
by the board as follows:
Bakers are prohibited from using
sugar for icing or sprinkling on the
tops Of cakes. crackers, crullers, etc
1t is estimated that thousands Of
pounds of sugar will be saved in New
YORK City by the order.
The order permitting beef with one
meal Of not more than four consecu-
tive hours each day became effective
yesterday. 1t resulted in comparative
ly little revamping of menus, accord
ing to hotel men, as the public gradu-
ally has been trained away from daily
beef appetites.

chants and pushcart pedlers, who have
been compelled to forego business on
the last two Sundays. were answered
yesterday by Police Commissioner En-
right The Commissioner said that
police action in closing East Side stores
and driving pushcart men off the
streets on Sundays was the result of a
protest lodged by the Greater New

Canada Open to Tourists
No Passports Required From
u. S. Citizens

Misleading reports in the press rela-

have lessened the tourist traffic from
the United States to Canada, according
to statement yesterday by the Can
adian Pacific Railway.
1t was stated in dispatches that Wis
ltors to Canada would have to register
at postofiice before they could be ac-
commodated at hotel and that pass
ports were absolutely necessary
The actual facts are, according to
the official statement of the Registra-
ton Board, that the registration act
applies only TO people permanently re
siding in Canada and does not affect
even remotely any one living in the
United States; that no registration at
postoffice is necessary and that no

1t was said at the Washington head

chat although these quotas may seem
small every intelligent, able bodied,
educated young woman in the country
is to be urged to register in order that
there may be no shortage either of can
didates for the Army Nursing School or
pital training schools. The course of
training in these schools ranges from
two to three years in length, and rep
rcscntatives of the woman's commit t.
tee emphasized that this is not in any

fidence, however, that the full supply
Of 25.000 nurses will be speed Y
secured.
"Do not let the thought that the war
may be ended and a victorious peace
declared before the work of prepara-
ton is completed deter you from enter
ing this service" said DR.. Anna How
ard Shaw, chairman of the woman S
committee, referring to the query
whether a large enrolment in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
might not create an over-supply of
nurses. Long after peace has been
won the work of rehabilitation and re-
education of disabled soldiers will be
continued and in addition to the Pub
lie Health Service the trained nurse
will find constantly widening oppor-
tunities for different lines of loyal and
excited usefulness. The call is to ali
young women who are strong, loyal
and worthy Of our country to enroll
as soon as possible. The recruiting
stations will be open on July 2o'
