that if the President really desires the
nomination there will be no uncer-
tainty about it when the time comes,
and the fight will be waged for him
in such fashion that the convention
will be forced either to accept him or
reprdiate him.
Realizing this in advance, it is con-
tended, most of the delegates will de-
sire to avoid the embarrassment of a
fight, so that, if it should be seen
the President really desires the
nomination, = it is not beyond the
bounds of possibility that he may be
nominated by reclamation.
In this connection it is pointed out
that the Kansas convention named
delegates to San Francisco who will 10

his attorney suggested that the mat

VAST WORK rs
ACCOMPLISHED BY
VISITING NURSES

During the month of July the Wis
iting nurses cared for 624 patients
who were i'll. making 2,168 visits.
Many of the patients were babies and
young children with diarrhea1 di-
seases. There seems to be, however,
fewer of these cases than there have
been in previous years. This is prob
ably due to the fact that the school
nurses during the summer months
have joined with the visiting nurses
in intensive visiting to help the moth
ers of the city tide over the trying
hot months. It is also probably due
to the fact that we have not had SO
much oppressive weather this year
we have had in former years.
The visiting nurses also visited
1858 well children, of whom 2,302
, were under two. making 1,7S5 home
calls. The health stations during the
month of July averaged 20.7 babies.
In England there is a health visitor
for every SEQ babies born: That is
then umber OF well children that one
nurse can supervise properly. The
preventive part of the visiting nurse
work is of the utmost Importance.
Surely, it is better to make five visits
and keep a baby well, than to make
more visits when the baby is sick.
The Hemlocks has been brimming
full of children; all of them have
gained. Little Mike, who had pneu-
monia followed by empyema, and
who had an operation last spring,
has been steadily putting on pounds
until he looks like the sturdy little
Italian boy he should look like
Eizab eth, who is II, and long and
thin, is eating the good food and
drinking quarts of milk, and she is

to get to work in the fall.
The one pity is that only 20 chill
dren can be accon1m odated at The
Hemlocks and there is a list of many
that will never be able to get up this
year.
They need at The Hem1ocks some
balls, preferably, old tennis balls.
They also need overalls or light weight
| trousers for little boys of to years
old.
The visiting nurses can be reached
| at 8S1 Lafayette street and by tele-
phoning Barnum 81. The visiting
nurse answers any cali that comes to
| the office. asking either for her ad-
| vice or for her nursing care. She
does not follow up this first visit with
| subsequent visits, however, unless
| there is recognized physician in
| charge of the patient.

SOVIET FORCES

Paris, Aug. 6.+Russian Bo1shevik
forces attacking the Poles northeast

patches received here appear to indi-
cate an Improvement in the military
situation in that sector of the front.
Observers are inclined, however, to
look on the fighting near Brest-
Litovslz, east of Warsaw, with some
concern, as the Boshevifzi have
massed large forces in an effert to
break through there. It is felt that
the outcome of the battle now being

fate of Poland.
