The Shortage Of Nurses
Ranks of the Training Schools Depleted Inten-
sive Course Needed
70 the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The nursing situation at the
present time is wrong. Light on the
subject, such as DR.. w. Gilman Thomp-
State Journal of Medicine for May is
needed 1t is a subject with an eco
nomic side Of intimate concern to the
public at large.
The demand for sensible, cheerful
women at a moderate wage is great.
The supply is small A three months
intensive course of training, partly
in hospital wards, will enable them to
take charge of simple cases, act as
nurse-companion, and as an assistant
to the fully-trained nurse in serious
cases. AS a matter of fact, people of
moderate means are unable to afford
a nurse who charges ST a day (and SO
in so-called twenty four hour" cases),
on the ground of special knowledge
from experience in special fields. The
present trained nurse is "a luxury for
the very rich only" as DR.. Thompson
says.
Through the ability of women since
the war to enter the various fields for
profitable employment, requiring COM
paratively brief previous training, and
with greater freedom of life, the ranks
of the training schools are much de-
pleted and the difficulty of securing
fo
serious consideration.
The Nightingale Era" with its high,
and often holy humanitarian appeal to
the desire to mitigate suffering alas,
has passed, However, the same suf-
fering and need of help with the high
heart exist.
The glamour and excitement of the
war, with it's pressing needs so splen-
didly met, have left the idea of nurs-
ing in times of peace undoubtedly
prosaic to many, and when years of
preparation without remuneration dur
ing that period, and the cloister-like
requirements of many training schools
lacking in sufficient pleasurable recrea~
ton, are added, we begin to realize
causes for the present condition.
Inducements and publicity are
needed to turn the minds of intelligent
young women from the other fields of
remunerative endeavor open to them
1t is a situation demanding much more
thought and effort toward controlling
from the medical profession than it
has received broader views on the part
of the matrons and help from public
spirited men and women.
To meet the present situation from
an economic standpoint, women of high
school education, natural adaptability
and refinement, kindly, high minded
and in good health, should be enabled
to take short intensive course (if
unable to give the time necessary for
higher certificate) and at once be-
come available in a most honorable
| field that at present leaves much to be

Home Building Doubts

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! have followed with great in
terest all that has been said with re-
gard to the housing problem. I might
add that, being man of the so-called
middle class, with a small capital, which
is the result of work and thrift during
those times of prosperity when sthers
Of my class spent their profits foolish
ly, | have considered the question of
home building very seriously and have
studied the question from all angles,
l radically disagree with your CORE
spondent, who says that it is up to
the people to solve the shortage by
building one or two-family homes for
themselves Why pick on the man of
limited means to build for himself at
this period and pay for his home posi-
bly, a few thousand dollars more than
he can realize on it few years from
now. Of course, he has a homo. but
then, when he wants to sell, will this
IN any way greatly compensate him for
the loss he will suffer? The tax ex-
emption feature, will admit, is a verv
pleasant one, but it does not offset
other disadvantages.

Airplane VS.. Battleshiip
Doubt as to Conclusivness of Experiments in Aerial
Attack

have appeared in various organs relat-
ing to experiments recently carried out
to determine the effect of aerial bombs
and torpedces on armored ships of war.
at has, for instance, been asserted
that the American air service dropped
bombs upon the ancient battleship
Indiana and that in such dropping Al
per cent of hits were scored from 5000
feet, and that the ship was sunk by
this attack. The facts are quite other
wise.
"a target representing battleship
was laid out on earth and dummy
bombs to the number of over one hun
dred were dropped from 5000 feet; 10
per cent of actual hits were registered
and al per cent we're registered within
what was considered dangerous prox-
unity TO the target.
"The tests on the Indiana were made
by electrically exploding bombs, placed
in position relatively to the ship. One
of these was of 1900 pounds, and was
exploded on the deck and did an enor-
nous amount Of damage to gun turrets
and the like. The second, of $50 pounds
was exploded in the water about forty
feet from the stern, anG at depth of
about fifty feet. The explosion of this
bomb caused much damage to the rud-
der and to the stern framing and
caused leak, which led to the ship
settling on the mud. No live bombs
were dropped by aeroplanes upon this
ship.
"a statement appears in one French
journal that the ex-German dread
nought Baden sank after little dis
cussion' with certain British aircraft.
AS matter of fact the Baden was sunk
by gunfire from a British monitor spe-
cially equipped with turret mounting
three guns of not less than 1875 inch
caliber in the course of tests of the
new piercing projectiles used
by the British navy.
"After having been so sunk and
while she was lying on the mud with
heavy list, the Baden was torpedoed
by British aeroplane. No informa-
tion whatever as to the damage caused
by this attack has been published by
the Admiralty, but she certainly did not
sink as the result of any aerial
attack" R. E. B.

Nurses Needed
Sharing War Debts
To The Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: have noticed number of let
ters written to your paper on the sub
ject of the airplane versus the battle
ship. These articles nearly all have
the same conclusion: Scrap the bat
tleship and build a lot of airplanes."
1t may be we'll to point out two things
with regard to such conclusions: l..
Battleship design has been revolution
ICED many times by the appearance of
some new and more destructive device
> The airplane as at present developed
can venture only few hundred miles
off shore and do scouting duty and re-
turn to its station, this all being based
on the supposition that engines are
reliable and there are no forced land
ings.
With regard to the battleship, the
torpedo, for instance, made it neces-
sary to armor the hull for some dis
tance below the water line. Who can
say that the airplsne will not force
battleships to carry armored decks :?
At any rate, it is reasonably certain
that when one mans ingenuity can
devise terribly destructive device
another mans ingenuity will devise
q counteracting protecting device.
Argument against the battleship is
based on the supposition that in case
of an attacking enemy force, all ships
Of that force parade up and down the
coast making themselves targets for
aircraft. Such would hardly be the
case if the attacking force, whether
with seaplane carriers or not, would
not be able to carry sufficient aircraft
themselves to clear the air of defensive
air force along the coast.
These points must be borne in mind
in the coming tests to be conducted by
the army and navy air services against
obsolete battleships, which will present
only a target for the attacking air
planes. A few computations will show
that it is no easy feat to build plane
large enough to carry an 1,800-pound
bomb under each wing for several hun
dred miles out to sea, cruise several
hundred miles more looking for an enc
my battleship, release the bombs and
then have sufficient carrying capacity
to fly several hundred miles back to
the home station. Permit me to quote
from an article in The Aeroplane, Lon
don, of April 27, 1921, entitled Aerial
Attacks on Warships!'
