Surely six months is too short a period

venture stated Mr.. Fell eThe situation
is that The Union was turned over to the
management of women as an organization
of the equal suffrage movement when the
newspaper was owned by Governor Edge.
When the new owners took charge it
was their belief that successful newspapers
must be independent mediums of thought
and politics-that is, not tied up to any
political party or advertising any particu
lar political movement. With this adopted
policy the experiment Of having The Union
committed to the Woman Suffrage party
naturally conflicted, and it was abandoned.
That's the only answer. Under its new
ownership The Union will be drastically

to equal suffrage, it will not be a cham

House Bought for
Nurses

The New York Nursery and Childs Hos
pital. at the corner of Sixty-tirst Street and
Amsterdam Avenue, has secured an option
on the four-story apartment building ad-
joining the hospital property on Sixty-frst
Street, with the view Of converting it into
nurses home
This move on the part of the hospital
authorities has become imperative because
of the rapid increase in the growth of the
hospital work during the last few wears.
The consequent larger number of attend
ants has rendered the present nurses quar-
tiers totally inadequate. 1t is the opinion
of the hospital authorities that the youth
of many of the pupil nurses and the arduous
nature of their duties make it, essential
that proper facilities for complete rest and
recreation when they are off duty be pro-
vlded.

begin its second year by trying to stop
the trend of cityward migration, which for
several years has threatened the food sup
ply of this nation and the welfare of its
people.
Officers of the Land Army have completed
plans for a year Of service which will

cording secretary; Mrs. A. P. Hinton, the
treasurer, and Mrs. Otto R. Eichel. of AL
bany, the executive director.
Why the Land Army was formed, why it
continues to exist and the need of it as q
permanent organization are told in the pro-
gramme which was prepared by Mrs. Otto
r. Eichel, the executive director.
"The Land Army originated as war
emergency organization to meet shortage
of labor existing because the men had gone
to war. 1t helped materially in this, and
of the important agencies for the
increasing of food production in America
during the war period. Instead of placing
women in the homes of farmers on whose
land they were to work, as had been done
in other countries, the land army adopted
and developed the unit SYSTEM" the pro-
