U. S. NURSES SCHOOL
IN TURKEY is BROKE

ISTANBAL OP.-Americans In the
Near East who when i'll have found
clean beds, American doctors and
American trained nurses in the AMER
ican Hospital of Constantinople, are
alarmed by statement from the board
of managers that the hospital is faced
with so critical a financial situation
that it may be forced to close in June.
Thus the tenth anniversary Of this
institution may mark its death.
Closing of the training school for
nurses which IL attached to the hos
pital would be catastrophe for the
Near East. Florence Nightingale's or
ganization Of the Barracks Hospital at
Scutari, Turkey, in the Crifiiean War,
revolutionized nursing methods through
out the world, but left no trace. In
the Turkey Of the Sultans. II was the
American training school here which
drst began to lift nursing from the
scrubwoman to the scientific stage IN
this part of the world.
OF the SO nurses who have been grad
uated from the school, 20 hold execu-
tive positions In the hospitals and
public health clinics in Turkey, Greece,
Bulgaria, Russia and Syria. Others
are in private practice IN the same
lands.
The first step toward saving the In
etitution Is to be the formation OF q
board of trustees in the United States
under the Craftsmanship of William B.
Miller, general controller of the STAN
dard Oil Company Of New York. This
board will try to raise $4,000 a year

PROv1NCETOWN Mass, March as
About 1912 Emmanuel eaton, Prov
incetown's fifst Portuguese settler, then
boy of IL, was landed on the desolate
ocean shore by q pirate ship and left
to work out his own salvation. Cation
had run away from his home In Lisbon.
The vessel on which he shipped was
sctlttled by the pirates. and every menu
Der of the crew was made to walk the
plank. But the boy was spared, ana
the buccaneers made him their slavey.
The castaway's granddaughter, Mrs.
Abbie Bickers, who lives in Province
town, confirms this account Of his ro-
mantle arrival as the pioneer Of 3 race
now composing more than half OF
Provincetown's population.
Cations coming, however, Is only an
incidental item in the suddenly revived
discussions of pirate treasure among old
residents of Provincetown. They point
to 1t as o reminder that during the
eighteenth and early nineteenth cen
turtles the waters of, Cape Cod were
infested with swashbucklers, with ready
cutlssses, wine ships In tOw and buls-
ing chests of il-gotten doubloons and
pieces of silver, to bolster the belief
that pirates loot may be buried along
the ocean shore at the lonely tip Of
Cape Cod.
Old Coins Recently Found.
Only recently Samuel B. ray, durA
ing a tramp on the back shore,
picked M 40 coins one dated 1721,
bearing such lettering as "Britanriia;S 4,
George II Rex" "GeorSius del grAtla
Rex" "Hibernia." Recently ae Wellheet
Guard station unearthed the grave Of
an early adventufer, finding Q pair Of
big brass shoe buckles, O few e0tSat
and similar evidence of q day when the
saying was current, Dead men tell no
tales"
This shore was the burial ground of
102 men of Capt. Samuel Bellamys
crew, who persisted in the great Bel
lari1y storm Of 1717, when the pirate
ship Wadah and several captive ships
were wrecked of Wellfieet. There Is
also the word Of Capt. George 1ickera
that he discovered a similar grave,
which gave up watch shaped like an
apple, with winding key big enough
to open house"
All of which helps the local ancients

Foolproof Device

One full turn of the cylinder
counts 10 seconds. Each sec
ond is represented by "a line
of so millimeters' length. Thus
the exact time of a race can
be obtained to one-hundredth
of a second.
Short circuits are automat-
ically produced by the horses,
during the race. at the points
and time wherever short cir
cults have been placed. In
order to obtain this result an
electrical circuit is established
by an isolated wire placed
around the track, underground,
the extremities being connect
ed with the timers cabin. This
is connected to a registering
machine-a huge clock-placed
at the finish line and in full
view of the spectators. It
clicks off the hundredths Of
seconds as the race progresses.
If this contraption is as &C
curate and foolproof as its
proponents claim for it, a step
forward will have been taken
on this continent in the deli
cate and important business Of
timing race horses.
The very best stop-watches
vary and seldom any two of
them clock a horse exactly the
same in tenths and in hun
dredths of seconds. The stop.
watches were in variance at
the time Man o. War did a
mile in 1:35, as were they when
Roamer was clocked at 1874 As
in a race against time at Sara,
toga.
Such data is important to
close students of the game,
particularly the breeders who
are ever striving to improve
the blood of the speeuiest.
And they don't want guess
work when it comes to time.

Electricity is being adapted
more and more to sports. Awhile

cells, dynamos and wet batteries
could be put in sports was to
carry the new thereof to distant
places for the edification and
enlightenment of the fans and
followers.
Today it is still doing all Of
those things better than ever
but is being used to light many
an arena indoor and outdoor
and besides is amplifying Off
Cial ialiannouncements and furnish
ing musical entertainment dur
ing dull moments in competi-
ton.
But there is even newer step.
according to literature which
comes to hand, one which finds
electricity being utilized to time
horse racing so that there can
never be any question as to the
minutes and seconds or frac-
tions thereof it takes to run a
given distance.
The Aqua Caliente Jockey
Club is to use for the first time
on this continent at its coming
