 HAS MANY NURSES

SAN FRANCISCO.-In the Red Cross survey of nursing resources in the Pacific division, which re- gently was completed by the Divi- sion Bureau of Nursing, there was found to be total of 10,216 nurses in California, Nevada and Arizona. In that number, California has 9416. Arizona 607. and Nevada 193. This will be increased as belated reports reach headquarters.
 The survey included all women eligible to give assistance in care of the sick in their communities in time of need. such as arose in the recent epidemic of influenza Grad uate nurses who filled in question: naires in the three states number 3.330; pupil nurses 2,602: un- graduated nurses 745; trained at tendants 57; practical nurses 1918: midwives 72; women holding cer- tificates for Red Cross courses 1,492.
 On plan authorized by Red Cross national heiNquarters at the request of the surgeon-general of the army, the survey was conducted under the personal supervision of Mrs. Fredericks Lord Williams, of Elko. Nevada. director of the Nurs- ing Survey. It looked toward com plete information on the nursing resources of all America and Ameri- can communities everywhere.

NORTH DAKOTA !O HAVE BANK;
 AID ID PUBLIC

to go into business under the in- dustrial program of the National Non-partisan League went into ef feet when Governor Frazier recently signed the bills. Banking, home building and flour milling are among the projects covered in the ten con- stituuonal amendments adopted at the last general election.
 The parent bill creates a state industrial commission composed of the governor, commissioner of az rlculture and the attorney general. who are given blanket authority in establishing necessary state depart ments. The commission is given authority for the operation of a system of banking under the name of the Bank of North Dakota.
 The banking measure provides for issuance of s2,O0O.OO0 in bonds to furnish capital. The system will start whenever the sum of S2,00O.- 900 issued by the state as provided by law has been delivered to the commisson. The bank will become tse depository of all public funds of the state, counties, cities and school districts. General banking business is authorized. and in addition the Central state bank will become the depository of the reserve funds of several hundred private banks chart cred by the state. These reserves are now held in St. Paul. Minnesota and Chicago. The state bank will have charge of the issuance of state bonds to finance industrial enter prises and will act as a rural credit bank for promotion of agriculture.
 The industrial commission bill and the banking act have passed both houses by two-thirds majorities. which permits the inclusion of an emergency clause putting them into immediate effect. The other bills are expected to pass soon with the emergency clauses.
 The other League program bills provide for the erection of terminal improvements, provided state hail insurance on crops, state industrial insurance for workingmen, and made ether changes proposed by the State Federation of Labor.
 The milling measure authorizes the esta5lishfent of system of elevators, warehouses, flour mills and factories with which the state will engage in manufacture and marketing of farm products The milling association will be capital ized at s5,0O0,OO0, part of the money, to be obtained through cer- tain funds in the state treasury and part through the sale of state bonds
 The Home Building Association of North Dakota, authorized under the home building measure, will purchase or build homes or farms for citizens on receipt of twenty per cent payment. The remainder may be paid on an amortization plan in from ten to twenty years. A house costing s5,0OO can be pur- chased in twenty years on monthly payments of s26, according to the League members. They say the act will bring rapid settlement of the states idle lands.
 State-owned coal mines and pack ing plants, also part of the League program, were not expected to be authorized at the present session.
 One bill expected to be acted upon imposes a one-half mill tax to create a fund for returned sol diers who would be entitled to s25 for each month in service. The money would be placed in the home building association fund or be de-
