NURSES IN DEMAND.

The shortage Of nurses threatens
to bring about the general use of
trained attendants for lack of gradu-
ate nurses, DIR. Royal S. Copeland,
Health Commissioner of New York
City, asserts. While there is no
prospect Of the situation becoming
so acute that the services Of these
attendants will be needed immcd-
lately, DR.. Copeland said, it seemed
certain that unless there was a
marked increase soon in the number
of women taking up nursing this
course would have TO be taken. 1t is
extremely difficult to get nures now.
During the war large numbers of
women took UP nursing, but with
the end of the war they got out of
uniform, like the soldiers. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult TO get nurses in the
hospital, and the numbers that are
applying for admission to training
schools are constantly growing
smaller,

FOUNDATION FUND.

The widespread popularity Of the

over 100000 persons in person or
by letter to the various State and

their tokens through which they
hope TO perpctuatc lh'c ideals Of Mr..
Wilson. 1t is much more fitting that
this Foundation should represent
the approval of the many for Mr..
Wilson than that it should be that
private contribution of a few men

come by the thousands every day
since the campaign opened from
those who wish to acclaim the
idealism of the former President.
Less than score of gifts of 81 900
