MORE HOSPITALS FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS
 STILL ARE NEEDED

PHuENIX, March = in order to project number of of disabled soldiers
 who fought in the late war. th" sur.
 -rou general uf the United States h1s authorized Dr W c. Swrek. director of rhe public health service for Ari- znna to issue statement regarding iA~ number or vacant beds available for disabled soldiers tu civilian and military hospitals
 The statement is necessary. accord. ing to Dr Swe4E. hecause of a mis. stateiaon, O; the facts attendant upon the request of the surgeon general that congress appropriate SI2.ooo.o)J for soldiers hospitals In answer to this request statement came from certain sources that the army did no, need the requested hospitals because already there are 1000 vacant beds in hospitals used for disabled soldiers.
 "l am authorized by the surgeon general 10 say that this is not true . said pr Sveek "Thcoretically the-o are 2.nuo vacant beds for the use Of disabled soldiers But of this number 1900 are in hospitals that are not ready 10 receive patients This leaves aboat 1.ooo vacant beds for the use of these soldiers This number is woe
 J!ly under what actual conditions dc mand. II means that the army has mareia of six per cent ot vacant beds in proportion to tho total number of beds iu u-.
 Now n" ac. p;od margin ol wal ,aut beds is 25 r-- cent in civilian hospitals. !n rhe ,a- of vacant beds for the usc Q: Inc disabled soldiers 'hi- ration sha..la raa up .a at least 3" per cent. The reason Tor this Is that th" variation in handling soldier patients is unusually large. Some days tho vacant beds will be 20 per cent less than The actual demand. 9th er days the vacancies will be 1o per cent over the actual demand
 Thus it will be seen that if the army is to handle its disabled soldier efficiently and with the comfort due these soldiers We should hav. 2 mar gin of 90 per cent vacant beds. Un. der present conditions there are times frequently when disabled sol diers in hospitals must sleep on the floor or on improvised beds until dis charged patients can give them room.
 Added to this deplorable condition .s the present hack of trained nurses 10 handle the soldier patients Right now the demand for nurses is press ns The public health service is 300 nurses short. IL is to be hoped that ! the public and congress will not Je nislead by false statements from un- dependable sources as to the actull | conditions surrounding the need for more b-is III hospitals handling dis. ,bled soldiers

Electric Time-BaIIs.

In the Middle ages the time-ball as a
means of marking the passing hours
was popular. For the convenience Of
the men and women of the various
courts of Europe a great ball was
dropped from the ceiling of the palace
throne room at certain intervals. To-
day, many cities have time-ballS in
prominent places which drop at noon
to warn the citizens of the time. Many
of our harbors, Montreal and Quebec,
for instance, still use the time-ball to
mark noon and other hours. But it
remained for a little country in South
America, Uruguay, to inaugurate a
really modern and efficient system for
sending broadcast over the capital
city, Montevideo, the time at exactly
eight o'clock at night. At that hour,
every electric light in the city grows
dim for a few seconds, and the resi-
dents set their clocks and watches.
The system has been suggested in
several places in this country, but
electricians object on the grounds that
the sudden diminishing in the con-
sumption of electricity from the CEN
trail plant, with the subsequent in
crease, would form a great load on
the plant, with possible disastrous re-
sults.-Montreal Herald.

The Cats Eve

The pupil of a cats eye ordinarily
appears as a long, narrow oval, or
straight vertical black line. The an
imal seems to be looking through mere
Sits in the iris of its eye, especially
when it faces the light. In Semi-dark-
ness the pupil widens into beautiful
oval. One is disposed to regard the
narrowness of the pupil as the distin-
gushing popularity of the eyes Of
cats. All animals of the cat family
share this popularity, according to the
authority we quote, yet the natural
shape Of the pupil of the cats eye is
circular. By varying the quantity Of
light entering the eyes eXperimenters
have seen the pupils of the eyes of cats
and tigers change from straight lines
to perfect circles, and while under the
influence of atrOpine, which Suspends
for a time the muscular contraction
of the eye, they are always circular.
The normal shape of the. cats pupil is
the same as that of the human pupil,
but when submitted to the influence
of light it's behavior differs. In a
bright light our pupils become very
small circles, while those of a cat
turn into OvalS or narrow Sits. The
general effect in either case is the
same, namely, to diminish the amount
Of light passing into the eye.-Ex-
change.
