Miss Hattie T. Samples was ap-
pointed November 10, 1888 to take
charge of the demonstration unit. She
comes to Montgomery county with a
record of successful work in rural
nursing, special work in tuberculosis
and year Of post graduate study in
public health nursing at Western Re-
serve University. Acting on the re-
commendation of the budget commit
tee of the tuberculosis Association,
the Sandy Spring area has been Sc
lected for this work. Miss Samples
began work in it on December NJ.
In the preliminary discussions of
this project it was decided that the
expenditure Of a relatively large
amount of money in one locality
would be a benefit to the entire county
because information derived from the
study would be applied to the county
wide program. The present health
department nurses can seldom devote
enough time to family or individual
to give permanent relief from a
health problem. This is particularly
true of tuberculosis because many
cases are complicated by social and
economical factors. What is needed is
an observance of results when the
nurse has enough time to follow
through each health problem to sue
cessful conclusion. The small unit is
obviously more expensive, but if the
costs and the value of the results are
carefully recorded, we shall be able
to show whether the nurse can save,
through reduced sickness, materially
more than the cost of her services.
In the demonstration area, in addi-
ton to tuberculosis, mental hygiene
will receive special emphasis. An OPP
portunity in this important and al
most untouched field has come
through an offer of DIR. Benjamin
Weininger to give his services as an
advisor to the nurse and as a con-
sultant to individuals. DIR. Weininger
is a member of the staff at Chestnut
Lodge Sanitarium and a resident of
the demonstration area. Through an
arrangement with the Montgomery
County Mental Hygiene Committee he
is also giving his services to other
staff nurses of the Health Depart
ment.

The largest part of the Seal Sale
money is used to pay parts of the
salaries of public health nurses. Au-
thorities believe that the most i'm
portant worker in the prevention Of
tuberculosis is the staff nurse in the
health department and that it is i'm
possible to carry out an effective tu-
berculosis program without reason
able number of nurses in proportion
to the population. For this reason our
tuberculosis association has used its
influence and its funds to increase the
nursing staff. On number of occas-
ions when part Of the salary of an adj
ditional nurse has been available
from other sources, the association
has made up the remainder and thus
provided an additional worker. Since
1882, the staff has been increased
from three to eight.
Beginning in the summer of 1887
plans were drawn up for establishing
as a demonstration different type of
nursing unit; one in which the nurse
would limit her district to approx
mately 1000 persons instead of to the
10000 covered by each of the present
staff. The success of these small units
has been demonstrated elsewhere and
has formed basis of the recon-
mendation of the smaller unit by
health authorities.
A prospect of carrying out this
plan came last year in the form of an
anonymous offer to pay $1,000 per
year toward the salary of the nurse.
Realizing the great advantage of in
GLIDING tuberculosis in the demon
stration, the County tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION studied the matter. Last
summer an additional sum of 81 200,
became available through new State
appropriation. The State Health De-
partment, being much interested in
the demonstration, agreed to apply
this sum to the demonstration by re-
lieving the local tuberculosis Asso-
citation of this amount paid to the
salaries of two existing nurses. In
this way the tuberculosis Association
transferred $1,000 to the salary of
the demonstration nurse and thereby
arranged the financing of the new
unit without the use of official funds.

to recree+;onal use of the river. The

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Cities
Service Power & Light Co., a $428,-
100000 public utility holding COM
pany, has filed a tentative plan of
integration for its electric and other
utility properties with the Securi-
ties and Exchange Commission, it
was learned last night.
The company's action was in re-
sponse to a request made some
months ago by William o. Douglas,
chairman of the commission, that
holding companies submit by De-
cember ! plans and programs for
meeting section II (the so-called
death sentence" clause of the
Public Utility Act of 1885.
1t was expected the details would
be kept confidential by the COM
mission in accordance with its treat
ment of integration plans previously
filed by other holding companies.
1t was reported, but not confirmed,
that the Cities Service Power &
Light Co. plan definitely provides
for its continued operation as a
holding company. Because of ar
rangements recently for transfer of
some operating properties in Michi-
gan to the Commonwealth & South
ern Corp. 1t had been rumored the
company might withdraw completely
from the utility field.

BARCELONA, Nov. 24.-Nine
swift insurgent bombers dumped
new death into Barcelona's streets
this morning in the eighth raid in
% hours.
The number of dead was not
established at once. The toll for
the previous seven raids yesterday
and during the night was 48 dead
and 148 wounded.
Heavy Anti-Aircraft Fire.
Coming from the north in two
squadrons at 9:45 am, the bombers
weaved warily across the city against
heavy anti aircraft fire. After
bombing several sections. they
wheeled away toward the Mediter-
ranean.
Government pursuit ships had
patrolled the starlit, moonless
Barcelona skies all night long and
twice fought with invading bombers.
One bomber was reported shot down.
The drumming of the plane mo-
tors and the rattling of gunflre were
audible over the whole city, but
nocturnal watchers could make out
few details of the fights.
SearchliEhts Kept on.
The city's searchlights were kept
of most of the time to avoid giving
away positions of government
planes.
Occasionally a stream of white
tracers spat across the sky from
government chaser. This was
answered after a few minutes by
red streak of insurgent tracer bullets.
Then motors whined high and
low, as the planes twisted about into
new positions.
