NEW YORK. May 12-An early
rising stock market tide backed up in
the final hour today, substituting losses
for gains of fractions to points in
many instances.
1t was another one Of the dullest
sessions since last Summer. The close
was irregular. Transfers we're around
$50 900 shares.
The market did fairly well in the
morning, but the advance on an ex-
tremely small volume tended to dis

larger on the reaction than on the up
turn.
The European picture was a bit

els, Still 100000 Above
Last Year.

A Winter wheat crop Of 463,447 900
bushels, 30,000,000 bushels more than
last year, but nearly $4,000. 600
bushels less than average and per
cent below last months estimate, was
forecast by the Agriculture Depart
ment today.
The department blamed dry or cold
April weather for the indicated short
crop, which would be the fifth light
yield In succession.
Abandonment of sown acreage was
less this year than last, the report
showed. but the condition Of the crop
May l was only 81 per cent CT normal,
compared to 75.3 per cent on the cor
responding date of 1885.
The department said a very marked
improvement in weather conditions
since the first Of this month augured
we'll for wheat and rye. Indicated pro-
duction of the latter crop Is more than
20,000,00 bushels less than in 1885,
although double that of the 1884
yield.

GROWING DEMAND
FOR NURSES SEEN
DR.. Mustard Makes Predic.
ton at Meeting of Visit
ina Nurses Board.

A growing demand for both public
and volunteer nursing services was
perdicted yesterday afternoon by DR..
Harry Stoll Mustard Of Johns Hop
kins Hospital at the annual meeting Of
the Board of Directors of the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society.
Addressing a large gathering of
nurses and those interested in their
work, DR.. Mustard, associate professor
Of public health administration in
the School of Hygiene at Johns Hop
hns, pointed out that there must
be mo thought of retrenchment" in
nursing activities.
His address followed q report by
Miss Gertrude H Bowling, executive
director of the society, after Mrs.
Harlan Fiske Stone, the president,
had opened the meeting at District
Red Cross Headquarters, which mark
ed the societys 36th anniversary.
Increasing Need For Service.
A changing conception" of what
nursing services entail in community
have greatly increased the need for
such services, DR.. Mustard declared.
"Also, the meeting Of old and new
problems and responsibilities in public
health depend more upon adequate
nursing service than upon any other
service which either voluntary or
official health agencies operate at
present." he amplified.
The volunteer health agency has
been the trail blazer" in all health
movements, DR.. Mustard asserted.
The work Of the public health
department is limited by law, he said,
and by the fact that the public
agency is largely concerned with pre-
teer services, he pointed out, are
concerned with the individual and
the family.
AS to the changing conception"
in the field of nursing. DR.. Mustard
told what Is being done by organiZa-
tions in fight on diseases, such as
diabetes, pneumonia and cancer.
Cared For s2,37s Patients.
Miss Bowling reported that in 1885
the Instructive Visiting Nurse So
ciety cared for 32,376 patients and
made 191,777 visits. Sixty-f1ve per
cent of the cases cared for were
women and girls, she said, and 20
per cent were maternity cases. Col
ored patients were II per cent OF
the total.
Although curtailment of Community
Chest funds and withdraw of Federal
aid last year necessitated a cut of
from 10 to 13 nurses, she said, an
anonymous public spirited citizen had
agreed to underwrite expenses neces-
sary to keep the staff almost up to
normal through the Winter months.
This help, however, is only temporary.
Memorials and endowments have
been valuable contributions to the
society, Miss Bowling reported. The
interest from a sl00 memorial she
pointed out, pays the expense of a
nurse for one day annually, and a
s35,000 fund perpetuates the service
OF nurse.
The society was incorporated April
IA, 1900, by DR.. Anne A. Wilson,
Miss Emily Tuckerman and Mrs. NJ.
w. c. Bayard, she recalled. Some Of
the services organized by the So
ciety, which have since been taken
over by the Public Health Depart
ment include tuberculosis, infant well
fare and school nurses.
Before the meeting guests Of the
board were entertained at tea.

Bryce, that Englishman who was able,
more than any other one man, to pen
citrate and apalyze our political and
judicial system, has abruptly describ-
ed the United States with relation to
its subdivisions and its ideas of local
government. To many of us our gov
eminent is based on the fallacy that
"what has been, shall ever be-" Our
criminal courts are the laughing stock
of nations which we are apt to term
backward" Even in our higher
courts there is ample evidence that
no one court can agree on any one
important decision. We do not wish to
be considered radical. Far be it from
us to subscribe to tenents which even
smack of "leftist" tendencies.

THE NEW DEAL HAS it's bad
spots. Everyone will admit that the
practical side of the MIRA and other
administration creatures is all wet.
Likewise, we admit that in practice
the World Court and the League of
Nations has proved unfeasible. But
this does not destroy mems faith in
the theory Of equal social rights and
world brotherhood. It is manifestly
simple that the United States must
be prepared for War-if and when
it comes. We can never keep out of an
international imbroglio if sufficient
pressure is brought to bear by other
countries. We must be ready and
meanwhile pray for Peace.

Diphtheria Clinics To
Start In Schools Jan.

A schedule of diphtheria immuni-
zation clinics has been arranged COW
ering 81 of the county schools. Most
of this will be done by DIR. Ellicott,
the County Health Officer and vol
unteer workers. All of the large
schools of the county will be covered
in the schedule except those in which
clinics have been recently held. No
children will be inoculated or tested
without the written consent of a
parent.
AS it will be several months be-
fore some of the schools will be
reached, parents are urged to take
their children to their doctors now
for these preventive treatments rather
than wait for school clinics. If a
child has already had a preventive
incubation of toxoid or toxin-anti-
toxin he should be taken to his doc
tor for a Scick test to determine
whether the incubation was success
full.
Children under school age need
protection even more than school
children, because diphtheria is more
dangerous in younger ages. The best
age for immunization is six months
