her away from the hospital for three
years. But she is now an extra nurse
at the University Hospital.
The Princess Arthur was a born
nurse. Social pleasures and distrac-
tons appeal little to her, and her ex-
cursions into society are undertaken
from sense of duty. Her heart and
soul are set on hospital work But not
every woman is suitable for the life of
nurse.
Looking back on my training and
experience" said the princess, IT have
concluded that life as hospital nurse
will probably have one of two effects
I on a woman: It will either improve or
deteriorate her,
1T ought to develop her intelligence,
make her selfless. broaden her mind
give her self-confidence and q fuller
understanding of life as a whole But
If she has none of the qualities essen
tial, am afraid hospital life will tend
to deteriorate her.

gram. the House naval committee to-
day decided to advocate the construc-

mite completion date for the l6 ships.
The first Of the proposed vessels is to
be laid down within three years from
passage of the act. and all are to be
completed within six years.

ing any of the nine destroyer leaders

authority still existed for the construc-
ton of IL destroyers. 1t likewise re-
jected the Navy's request for 50 SUBJ
marines. making no provision for any
ships of this type.

mittee that the authorization for the
l6 ships would not lapse in the event

viso that ''in the event Of any agree
ment for further limitation Of naval

fcations for two salvage ships and to

The Is cruisers would be 10000 tons
each, and the one air
