CHICAGO NURSING
 SCHOOL NOT 0. K.
Graduates Not Qualified to Practice Legally
 Here

Protection of the people of the state against the improperly trained person who calls herself a nurse was noted today in the re- fusal of the state board of examin- ation and registration of nurses to certify an applicant from the Chi cago School of Nursing for practice as nurse in the state of Connec- ticut. This school, a correspondence school offering no actual practice to the student nurse, according to Mrs Winifred A. Hart, E. N. edu- cational director and secretary of the state board, is known to have applied for positions for it's gradu- ates in other states but had not previously approached Connecticut. That she could not practice legally as a graduate nurse in this state was a surprise to the applicant who had been led to believe that her training would equip her for private duty work or for position in a reputable institution.
 On the list of Connecticut hospi- tals where graduates of the Chica- go School of Nursing were given to believe they would be acceptable, appear the Neuro-psychiatric Insti- ute and hospital of the Hartford Retreat and the Charlotte Hunger ford hospital of Torrington. Dr Charles c. Burlingame and Dr AL Ian Craig, directors of these hospi- tals respectively, are seeking legal aid to have the names of thehir in- stitutions removed from lists fur nished to graduates of the Chicago School of Nursing.
 Concerted action of this kind, bringing light to bear on the poorly defined word, nurse" is necessary according to Margaret K. Stack. executive secretary of the Connec- ticut State Nurses association. to safeguard both the properly regis- tered and qualified nurse in Con- necticut, and the public which she serves. As 1t is. too many unquali- fled women. many of them without realization of the gravity of the sit uation. are passing themselves off as nurses" though having no pro- fessional standing to bear out this title.
 Some of these ''nurses", says Miss Stack. please a certain ele- ment of the public better than the qualified nurse for the reason that the IOTIuST Hidy US ioSS CdEcLul tV work closely at all times with the physician, seeming to save the pa- tient money by carrying out pro- cedures which the registered nurse would perform only under definite orders from doctor. The attend ant or helper has useful place in the community but confusion is set mp in the minds of the people if they believe that in employing such worker to care for their sick, they are employing a properly qua lifted nurse.

PALACE

Tonight and tomorrow will wlt- ness the final showinSs at Poll s of Harold Lloyd in The Cat s Paw" funniest story that you have ever seen him on the screen in and a radical departure from all of his other pictures. in fact the only thing that is the same about this picture and other Lloyd pic lures is the goggles he is associ- lated with. On the same program there is also a Mickey Mouse car toon and the usual carefully se- lected program of short subjects.
 For days starting Wednesday the Poli theatre will present for the edification of its patrons, what Is believed to be something rare in theatricals, two pictures will be on the program of this theatre that have been featured as single ttractions at. the leading New York theatres during the past week.
 The first is Hat, Coat and Glove" as baffling a murder mys- tery as has ever been screened, 1t starts as a sophisticated drama involving a trial seperation and then takes sudden novelty twist that will leave the audience glued to their seats when the things start to happen. Featured in the cast of this picture is Ricardo Cor tcz, in his first ,local showing since he married Miss Lee of Danbury. and he is now really native of this state and surely Danbury is near enough for Waterbury to lay claim to him as close to a native son.
 The second feature will be Straight Is The Way" and look at this for a cast Franchot Tone, May Robson, Karen Morley, Nat Pen- dleton and Jack LaRue, are just few of the many who will grace the screen in this picture and here is drama chockful of true romance gripping humanity and pulse quickening action. Little wonder that in its stage version 1t ran for over six months, to crowded hous-
 es on Broadway.
