RECRUITING NURSES.

A campaign to recruit 10000
young women to become nurses Is
being worked up by health and
nurses organizations, May ~, the
tooth anniversary Of the birth OF
Florence Nightingale, is to be
taken for special observances to
promote this campaign.
The death toll year ago from
influenza was greatly increased by
the lack of nurses, 1t was sup
posed that this winter. with the
army nurses all home from France,
there would be enough of them for
ordinary needs. Yet when the sec
ond Influenza epidemic struck the
country a few weeks ago, multi
tudes of families could not obtain
competent nursing, and many sick
people have had to wait on them
selves
Is the profession of nursing less
attractive to young women than
formerly? 1t may be regarded as
a laborious life, with hazards and
perils. Yet nurses are very indie
pendent. When they finish one
case they have absolute control
over their time. and can rest as
long as they need to.
Most nurses are very enthusiastic
about their profession. The knowl-
edge that they are doing good, and
bringing sick people back to health,
is a splendid reward in itself. 1t
brings them in contact with many
fine people, helps them make In
spring friendships, and they at
tract q high type of men in mar
riage.
No doubt the good opportunities
in the business world attract many
young women now, who formerly
would have become nurses. But
If they are passing up this noble
profession, with all its rewards,
merely because the short cut to
business is easier and quicker, 1t Is
not good judgment in the long run.
Think it over young women of AL
querque.

NOW THE TIME TO SAVE.

For more than year foresight
ed men have been going up and
down the country preaching the
need of thrift. When the ending
Of the war found the world flat
on its back. it's treasures and store
houses emptied and crying needs
on every kane, the demand went
up to all men to produce more and
save more. .,
In d year of this preaching It
might be supposed that results
would be achieved Sufficient to
make further education unneces-
sary. But at New York the other
day an economist warned manu-
facturers that the land would soon
be living on its nerve; and that
we have now a state of affairs in
which the rich wish TO spend more
and work less. If this is true, then
a year Of preaching has not been
worth the effort. tf s1
Most of the preaching has over
shot the mark. The average man
is not much concerned when he is
told that demand exceeds supply,
and world stocks are lower, and
foreign needs immense, and that
prices will come down If he buys
less and works more.
But tell the average man how
he can put more dollars into his
pocket, now, and he will pay quick
attention. That is the message that
preachers should preach. They
should point out to the American
toiiers that if he doesn't save today

RAINBOW FROM WASHINGTON

Some nameless experts in
Washington have placed them
selves directly in the path of a
whirlwind of popular alteration by
predicting heavy drop in the
prices of the necessities of life with
the coming summer.
If there were only a little more
foundation for the forecast than
the expectation of a 100 per cent
farm crop, because 1t is due under
."the general rule of averages, .
popular hope would feel itself more
justified in winging a happy flight
a few months into the future. The
proposition seems to be that as a
100 per cent drop is due under the
rule of averages, such crop will
appear, and when that happens
prices will take a long drop. The
expectation of the Washington ex-
perts that as high prices continue
to rule, farmers will plant their
fullest acreages to take advantage
of the opportunity may be disap-
pointed by a curtailed wheat area
formerly recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture. That will
halt the 100 per cent production
which will be equal, according to
the experts, to a 10-year average
Popular respect for precedents has
fallen heavily, whether in political
programs, crop productions or
hopeful promises on prices, and
consumers probably will commit
themselves no more bindingly than
to consent to wait until next sum-
mer to see how 1t all turns out.

mediately there was wild rush
for the autos which were standing
ready to make a sensational run
for the oil lands in the Seven Lakes
district. In a few minutes there
were close to two hundred automo-
biles in procession headed for

license with the head that Is too
domelike to please their patrons.
At present the low forehead seems
to be in the ascendency. At any
rate it is the exceptional woman
who feels that she may draw her
hair back from the forehead. 1t is
only the woman who actually has
a low forehead, or whose hairs
grow low upon her brow, who feels
that she may wear her hair in this
way and still be in the picture.
In mid Victorian days, however
the high brow was the style and
the low-browed woman was re-
garded as not quite so refined a
type of beauty. 1t was all right
for your honest peasant woman, but
not for the wasp wasted, pale
skinned aristocrat. If they ad-
mired the ideal of classic Greeks
it was always with a high fore
head substituted for the low brow
so universally admired by the ar.
lists and sculptors of ancient
Athens.

FILLING WEST POINT
VACANCIES.

Announcement that there are
over 500 vacancies in cadetships at
West Point will surprise persons
who had supposed the war had
stimulated interest of American
youths in military careers. In June,
when nearly 500 cadets are gradu
ated, the number of vacancies will
be greatly increased. Fxamina-
lions for admission are to be held
throughout the country this month,
but it is reported that no nornina-
lions of candidates have been made
from 13I congressional districts.
The president also has not filled his
quota OF nominations. 1t is stated
that the number of Vaca2c'es Is
greater than ever befCre ir the
history Of the nations military
academy ....
Various reasons are given for
West Points present lack of pop
ularity One is the competition
from the business and industrial
world, the wages offered being so
much higher than even experienced
army officers receive. Officers
pay has not been increased in 10
years.
Many ambitious young men sim
ply feel they cannot afford to en-
ter an army career without inde-
pendent means, knowing that 1t
would be a constant financial strug-
gle to make ends meet, 1t is sug-
gested that the passage of a bill
providing for candidates-at-large
would help make up for the de-
fieiency The present procedure is
to appoint candidates and alter
mates. If the candidate passes the
examination he Is admitted and the
alternate is not given an opportu-
nifty. As candidates-at-la large they
could take the examinations and fill
the vacancies from districts which
have no candidates of their own.
A supplementary measure should
be the increasing of the pay of
army officers.

tinction is not made and we call
the woman high-foreheaded when
the real fact is that her hair is
sparse or grows high on her head
although as matter of fact the
honey structure of her head may
not be high at all.
The Greeks never seem to have
deviated from their ideal of a low
forehead. With them the brow
was actually low, but moreover
there was always a thick, luxuri-
Gus growth of hair about the tenn
pies that added the appearance OF
charming vigor and virility to the
Greek figures. 1t was the hair OF
the woman who never wore a hat;
whose only hair adornment was a
light veil or simple fillet.
The Greek forehead was low and
broad. 1t is the forehead, that you
see in the Venus de Milo. IN spite
of the popular opinion that per.
sons of superior intellect always
have high foreheads you would
have difficulty in establishing this
fact. The point seems to be that
ether things being favorable, the
low forehead, if it is not too mar
row. is quite compatible with high
Intellectual development. Two mer
with low foreheads who bear oul
this theory are Frederick the 'Great
and the poet John Keats. "ts at
AS far as feminine fashions go

as skirts. In one period the low
forehead is taken for granted when
you mention an ideally beautiful

tribute to the low forehead and
