Duck Refugees
in Marsh Areas

recently TO the adoption Of other
measures to encourage waterfowl. a
number of extensive marsh areas have
been made permanent refugees under
the guardianship Of the Department Of
Agriculture, and many private pre-
serves, some formed by artificial
means, have been established where
the birds are protected while nesting.
AS a means Of cooperating In such
efforts TO maintain and increase the
number OF waterfowl, the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture has undertaken
Investigations Of the general conditions
under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts Of the
birds found in areas varying in char
aCter. During three summers, field
studies were made dealing with wild
ducks In the Bear river marshes in
Utah, a report OF which has just been
published by the department in De
partment Bulletin $50, Wild Ducks and
Duck Foods Of the Bear River Marshes,
Utah.
During the three seasons devoted TO
this work l. species Of ducks and the
. Canada goose were found breeding in
the region included in the Bear river
marshes, which cover an extensive
area al the northern end Of Great
Salt Lake. In an enumeration made
7 during May and June, 1916 Of the II
species Of breeding ducks $3.50 pairs
were counted. and IL is believed that
I this number represents between 60 and
. 100 per cent Of the total number Of
/ breeding ducks occurring here that
season.

HEARTS AFFECTED By FEAK
Armenian Children Slow In Recover
ing From Terrors to Which They
Were Long Subjected.

According to DR.. Mabel Elliott, head
of the American Woman's Hospitals
who is now serving with the Near
East Relief at Ismid, Turkey, a large
number of the Armenian children
under her care are suffering from en-
Iarged hearts or other forms of heart
disease, due to the constant fear TO
which they have been prey during the
past few years.
Relief workers in the Near East
have long been familiar with the men,
tal petrifaction due to the terrible ex-
perience through which these children
have passed, most of them having for
gotten everything of their past, their
names, their homes and their language
included, but this is the first instance
that has been recorded of the effect OF
fear on their hearts.
The cure which DR.. Elliott Is prac'
ticing with these children Is a COM
bination of mental and medical. F1rs'
of all, they are made to realize that
they are entirely out of danger ano
among friends. Then they are put on
a special diet of nourishing foods anc
certain exercises are prescribed. The
results so far have been remarkably
successful.

GRAND OPERA IN NEW GARB.
BRADFORD, OCT. IL.

Some people don't like grand opera.
But everyone enjoys good music. The
reason most people give, who claim
that they don't like grand opera, is
that it is above their heads,
The Opera Unique" which is adj
vertised as the leading attraction on
the closing day of the approaching
Chautauqua Festival, has been plan
ned especially to do away with the
cover your head" objection to grand
opera.
Mrs Bertha Smith Titus, for years
associated with the Swarthmore
Chautauqua Association in the capa-
city of Superintendent and musical
advisor, has written a special light
opera weaving into the humorous
story the gems from light and grand
opera which are everyone's favorites,
such as the "Barcarole" from the
"Tales of Hoffman," "The Quartet
from Rigoletto," "The Sextet from
Lucia" arranged for quartet, and
others. The reports on this expert
ment are most satisfying. The
humorous story of the opera holds
the attention and supplies an ade.
uuate vehicle for the introduction OF

fast laws. They are the divine right OF
the poor as well as the rich. A prohibit
tive price can not be put upon them,
And that is what the nurses are doing.
Too great a commercialization OF then
services is making proper care OF the SICK
impossible for those In moderate clrcum-
stances. In addition, their demands as
to hours and regulations can not be met
in hospitals if the hospitals are to main
tain their high standards of service. |
understand that in some hospitals the
nurses have even resorted to strikes. This
is shocking indictment of the profession,
and | can not believe that the nurses in
volved were heartily in sympathy with
them. They must have been misled by
the agitation of one or two malcontents
ane Incompetence Surprising that doc
tors should go on strike! The thought Is
no less appalling than nurses strike
Therefore with the union becoming a
menace it is time for the public to coop
crate against it.
"The educational standards for regis
tration of nurses as set down by the
nursing boards of the various states have
gone beyond all reason. Any intelligent
girl can acquire in two years all the
knowledge necessary for the thoroughly
competent nurse. | know that in my
work never have to ask any nurse to dc
anything which she could not have learn
ed how to do in two years training But
as the laws of most states demand high
school pre-education and three years
training for the registered nurse, the only
way to circumvent them is by training
sub-nurses or nursing aids who will &C
cept smaller pay, whose demands are not
so exacting, and who will be proficient
enough to take hold of almost any case
presented to them.
"Seven dollars day for an eight hour
day is more than exorbitant: it is prohib-
tive. 1t means that in cases OF danger
GUS disease where constant sklllful care
and watching are necessary to save the
life of the patients, three nurses must be
employed at daily cost OF twenty-one
dollars day. How, ask, can the man
and woman of average means afford to
pay such charges They can not do it.
Neither can the hospitals if they wish to
keep open their doors.
GOOD nurses are born. They are not
made, any more than good stenographers
or good writer's or good lawyers are made
Education helps, but if girl has all the
education in the world and the best OF
secretarial training, and yet lacks manual
dexterity and sound business sense, she
will not make a good stenographer. All
the training in the world will not make q
good nurse of a girl who is always think
ing about herself and whose heart does
not 90 out toward suffering humanity in
a desire to ease that pain by self sacritc-
ing service"

State Highway Commissioner L. w.
Dix has received word from the National
Association of State Highway Officers
that the association is backing the Phipps
bill introduced in the Senate, under which
Congress would intrust the war depart
ment to turn over to the states l 800 five
ton caterpillar teactors for use on state
highways. The bill also provides for the
turning over of 200portable machine shop
units used to repair the tractors. The
department has at present 1000 such
tractors and the association wishes to
have Director General Dawes declare
l,5OO of them as unnecessary surplus.
One argument advanced in favor OF the
bill is the fact that it would give employ
ment to men who could not secure work
because the states did not have machinery.
Extensive plans are being made for the
reunion OF the First Vermont Cavalry In
Burlington on October IL. The program
details of which are now being arranged,
will include brief exercises at the grave OF
General William Wells in Lake View
cemetery, with speaking by veterans.
The main part of the program will be
carried out in Stannard Memorial hall,
where the veterans will gather to renew
acquaintance and tell again the stories
of the war period in which they played
so important part. The annual camp
fire in the evening is the important part
of the reunion. There will be good music
in attendance and other entertainment,
