NURSE ASSN. ID BE
 AIDE TO HOSPITAL
Staff Ready to Assist in Ob-
 StetriCal Cases

An offer to help relieve the ma ternity ward congestion at the local hospital was made today by Miss Rachel Colby, head of the Visiting Nurses association. Although Miss Colby considers the hospital as the most favorable and advisable place for maternity cases. she contends that inasmuch as the available space is taken there, the next most advisab ble place is the home, with a visiting, nurse in attendance, This service is available to all who care to take advantage of it at any time of the day or night. There is a nurse in attendance at the head quarters of the local branch at all times and a visiting nurse may be obtained by calling the office.
 Miss Colby further points out that there is more and more de- mand for the services of the visit ing nurses in that capacity, and that in preceding years there has been an increasing tendency to seek the nurse as capable aide 10 the stork. The cost Of such services is far below the cost in the hospital, she contends, and over 14o calls have been made for the services of the nurses during the year. The cost of such services merely covers the cost of equipment and the time spent on the visit.

In order that the heirs of the es- tate of Mrs. Jane Hart may be able to collect on d government insurance policy due the estate through the death of William J. Hart, her son. it became necessary for Judge Bernard r. Gaffney in probate court today to approve a petition for ap- pontment of Harold F. Hart as ad- ministrator.
 There were several obstacles which had to be removed formally. Will liam Hart. New Britain sailor in the United States navy died Octo- Der r, 1918, and his mother, who was beneficiary, was collecting the payments regularly until her death q short time ago.
 The children and heirs of the es- tate believed that $5,10O due could be collected by their mothers estate but the government ruled it was due the sons estate. Since more than 10 years have elapsed the new adminis- trator must be appointed. After the money is collected it will be applied 10 the mothers estate and divided among the children of Mrs. Hart.

CYPRUS ID REMAIN
 IN BRITISH FOLD
Requests for Change Of Status
 Meet With DiSapproyal

Washington. D. C., March 15.- The island of Cyprus, q crown col ony of Great Britain, has recently asked for permission to throw in it's lot with Greece; or failing that, to be given self government. Both requests have been refused and Cy- prus will continue to be administer London. The island is the subject of the following bulletin from the Washington. D. C. headquarters of the National Geographic society:
 Greek People, Turkish Customs
 Cyprus can be described as an island of Greek people, Turkish GUS toms, and British overlordship,' says the bulletin. "Four-ffths of it's 3225, 1000 inhabitants are Greek Chris tians and nearly all the remainder are Turkish Mohammedans. The island is about the size of Porto Rico and lies in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean sea off shore from the meeting place of Turkey and Syria. In the Mediter- dutdIl OlllS lllt lSIi1uS Ol SICILY anu Sardinia are larger than Cyprus.
 Until 50 years ago Cyprus was wholly under Turkish control for two centuries. And although it has been under British administration since 1878, and a British colony since the outbreak of the World War Turkish influences finger. Thus the governmental subdivisions of the island are the old Turkish ones; the laws are those of the Turkish code, with some changes; and Turkish weights and measures are still used. Cyprus grain is bought and sold by ltilcs instead of bushels; olives and ckes instead of pounds, and if you buy the beautiful handmade lace that Cyprian women make, you buy it by the pic, not by the yard
 Ancient Forests Destroyed
 Cyprus is an excellent example for the forester who breaches the importance of conserving trees. in ancient times the island was note l for it's fine forests. Perennial streams Watcred it's plains and pros perity rcigncd. Today the central plain of Cyprus and many of the mountain slopes are treeless sa|e for scattered orchards. The streams are torrents, entirely dry for a large part of the year; while the washing of the soil has created marshes in some sections. Under British control, afforestation has been begun and the plantations of trees are being extended and pro- tected from the depredations of goats. Other constructive contribl- tions by the British are the begin nings of sorely needed system of good roads, and irrigation works, and improvement in educational ia ciIities.

Chicago, March 15 Rl-Chicago. in brand new sailor pants, has visions of going down to the sea in ships.
 The city's outlet to sea trade hinges on little more than a years construction work and a few mil lion dollars. This would finish the canal making the Illinois river navigable from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi.
 Chicago hopes the federal govern ment will provide the s7,500,000 re- quired to put finishing touches on the almost t-completed canal.
 Sentiment and the cash register join hands over the project.
 On sentiments side is the tradi- ton of 300 years ago when Mar- quette and Joliet padded canoes near the present site of Chicago, and perhaps dreamed of a day when the Great Lakes would be joined to the Gulf of Mexico.
 The cash register figures in tEc plan, too. Millions Of dollars arc expected to be added to Chicago's industrial wealth by water trans portation facilities that would coni- prise the Great Lakes, the Illinois Mississippi and Ohio, as well as contact with the sea.
 Already the state of Illinois has spent s20,000.000 on the canal an1 locks necessary 10 lift shinnino Ovar the natural typographical divide.
 Completion of the canal in the immediate futuro hangs on an ap- propriation of $7,500,000 from CO., sress in this session, and supreme court ruling on the amount of Wal ter that may be diverted into che canal from Lake Michigan. Extra water is needed to enable bargcs to ply through the new waterway.
