Nursing Standards
 Rise Anticipated
Survey of 20 Schools in This State Recently Con-
 ducted-Both Local Hospitals Furnish Records

examination is advised for all stu. dents, in order that the hospitals may graduate students who are at least as well and strong as when, they entered. This state ranks | twenty-fourth from the top of the list in this regard.
 Another health protection IS the annual vacation from the fairly se- were hospital routine engaged in by the student nurse. Sixty-five per cent of the schools in the state give three weeks or more vacation to the student during the year. In | this respect the state stands ahead of the country average, which is 43 per cent of schools giving at least a three week annual holiday. Almost no hospital is able to give training in all clinical serv-
 ices to student nurses, the grading committee holds. Consequently.
 schools that do not provide for added experience by sending their students to other hospitals for af- filiation cannot hope adequately to prepare students for practice.
 many authorities believe. In this 1 state, 100 per cent of the schools send their students away for some | l 57 per cent for the country as Q
 whole. Connecticut thus ranks first in this respect among the stntes.
 Hospitals conducting nurEtng
 schools in the state work their nurses fairly long hours--too long, in the opinion of the grading com l imttee. On this point other states are equally culpable, 1t is found. l Students should not be full-time workers" the committee declares.
 "The forty eight hour week of hos
 pital service, where classes and
 studying are not included. is itself i too long for students. More than
 Q forty-eight hour week should be unthinkable.'
 students as little as forty-eight hours in a week. Connecticut ranks thirty-first from the top among the states in respect to reasonable working hours for it's student nurses.
 On night duty, the student nurse
 Is expected to work more than fifty-six hours a week in most states. The grading committee re- | gards such long hours as detri-
 mental to the health of students and to the welfare of patients. This commonwealth ranks twenty-first from the top in the list of states giving reasonable hours for stu dent night duty. Shocking as the record is in most states. the con- dition has shown an improvement in the last three years, the com- mittee finds.
 l Each of the twenty schools of nursing in the state participating in this national study has received in- dividualized copies of the reports of the committee. The copies are marked by hand to show the standing of the school in more than 100 significant comparisons. The most recent report covers the items mentioned here, as well As number of others. Other install- ments of the report are expected before the end of the year.

 Francis Last Envoy
 When the World war had al. ready dragged through two years David R. Francis was sent to Petrograd as American ambassa- dor. Russia had changed the Ger manic name of St Petersburg to the Russian Petrograd when the war broke.
 Francis faced a great deal of hard work. and many difficulties. America was even then conducting vast Red Cross and relief works in Russia. There was the increasing ly difficult status of American neu- trality to maintain. And already a mighty rumbling could be heard beneath the surface of Holy Rus- sia.
 Francis stay, though he did not know it, was to be short one.

 In many quarters, the willingness to invite the former governor back into the fold is construed as an ad- mission of weakness.
 The active fusion campaign will begin September 19, after Samuel Seabury has returned from a vaca- ton in Europe where he is ac- cumulating more thunder against Tammany and in behalf of Fiorello LaGuardia, the experimentation candidate.
 Seabury's, last political action on the day he left New York was to declare Tammany a "quasi-crim- inal" organization. When he re- turns to take the stump for La Guardia, the citizens expect an en- joyable spectacle. Seabury has an extensive and vivid political vocab- ulary.
 In action, character, history and public activity, LhGuardia and his opponent are as far apart as the poles.

 New York by two other Johns Curry and McCoey, after James J Walker had become exiled to the pleasant sands of the Riviera, is Of the round, Fashioned Tammany type. Of blameless character and
 "unimpeachable integrity" his con- tinual expression is one of pained surprise that anyone should ques- ton the benevolence of the political order to which he Is attached.

 Washington.-Early on the cold gray morning of Feb 27. 1918, a man stepped from ths ornate stone doorway of the Amer icsn embassy in Petrosrad. Lug gage and official papers piled high above him, he was whisked over the almost-deserted eobblestone streets to railway station to begin a tiresome journey of 26 hours to Vologda.
 He was David F. Francis. last American ambassador to Russia. And in more than IS years that have passed since that morning, no official American ambassador has entered the capital of the great country of 1eO,000.000 peo- Dle that was then Russia, and is to-day the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.
 Fifteen years Is a long time. Russia has changed. The United States has changed. The world has changed. And now there are daily indications that the breach may soon be healed. the long list of mutual misunderstandings cleared up, and normal diplomatic rela- tiOns at last resumed.
 Vast Trade at Stake
 A commission of 40 Soviet ex- perts is about to embark for the United States to study the market for future purchases of cotton. in- dustries and railroad equipment, aviation supplies. automobiles and machinery. The world is compet- ing for those orders, and the United States to-day Is the only great power that does not have normal diplomatic oh a n e l s through which to deal. Spain, re- gently recognizing Russia, had been the last, except ourselves. to stand aloof.
 Foreign Minister Litvinoff of Russia recently sojourned at q French health resort, and 1t con- veniently happened that Bernard Baruch, American financier known to be close to President Roosevelt, dropped in on the same resort, also for his health. There were denials that anything was done, but much has come from less in international affairs.

Friendly During Civil War

Adams was a citizen of the world, and had travelled widely since he had been a child. He was not, therefore, overawed by the elaborate ceremonies that made the friendly enough offer to mediate between Britain and America after the war of 1912.
 At first, American ministers were very small fry in the diplomatic corps at St Petersburg. But dur ing the ministries of Cassius M. Clay and Bayard Taylor Russia was friendly enough to offer help to the Union side during the Civil war. and actually sent two fleets to the United States to help the Union in case England and France sided with the south. There was wave of enthusiasm for Russia following this. and shortly thereafter Alaska was bought from Russia for ST. 100000.

 Fifteen years is long time, but not so long by half as the 33 years from 1776 to 1909, during which the American revolution knocked in vain at the door of the proud Russia of Catharine the Great. The shoe was on the other foot then.
 Under Catharine, the Russian court was hotbed of intrigue. luxury, cruel autocracy and politi. cal reaction. Monarchs of the world were leagued together to prevent the spread of American radical ism."
 It was not until 17S1 that Fran cis Dana, a brilliant constitutional lawyer, was sent to St Petersburg to angle, unofficialy, for recogni. tion. He cooled his heels for near 1y two years, but never got the slightest encouragement.

 But though Poinsett achieved 0 certain personal recognition, it was not until 1909, three years later, that Russia received John Quincy Adams as the first official minister from the United States. Adams later was the sixth president.

D. K.
MRS. OWEN

Ruth Bryan Owen was con-
firmed for Minister to Denmark
yesterday afternoon by the Sen
ate, and within two months she
will sail abroad-as Americas
first woman diplomat.
Almost simultaneously with the
Senate's approval, a message was
received from King Christian x
of Denmark, that Mrs. Owen
would be persona grata.
Of all President Roosevelt's ap-
pointments to diplomatic posts,
the appointment of the 47-year-old
daughter of William Jennings
Bryan has aroused the most at
tention, both here and in the
country to which she will be "en-
voy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary."
Here's what a Copenhagen
newspaper says:
"WhO could understand us
better than Denmark's girl
friend!"
That's what all of Denmark
thinks of the daughter of a
Commoner who will appear be-
fore a Court of Kings to repre-
sent this country.
Ruth Bryan owen knows Den
mark-as Myron Herrick knew
France. And Denmark knows
her.

81 Years Pass,
But Postcard
Is Delivered

The mail must go through-even
if it takes 81 years!
This tradition was maintained
by the Postoffice Department
right here in Washington.
It took those 81 years for a
postal card to travel fewer than
that many blocks to it's Capital
destination.
And, way back in July, 1896,
it cost c. M. Lipp, timer and
plumber. a very good roofing job.
The post card, from R. A.
Walker, one-time president of the
Lincoln National Bank, said:
"Mr. Lipp: Please repair the
roof at 1118 New Jersey Ave
nue. N. w.
"R. A. Walker"
Since the card was mailed,
Mr.. Walker died, the plumber
moved (and has since gone into
business with his sons at 1412
@ st. N. w. and the building
to be repaired has been torn
down.
Rumor has it that not a post
man, but high official at the
