in conclusion, "I'd ask you to go
have a talk with them before I get
home, and tell them that what I
want is little neglect"
Is it possible that in our anxiety
to show these boys how deeply we
appreciate what they are doing for
US, how eager we are to make them
happy, we are in danger of fussing
them into state of impatience and
irritation?
Another soldier sent me from
Honolulu two letters from home.
These were written by a widowed
mother and young married sister.
Instead of sending Gordon, as in
telligent mothers and sisters do,
brief cheerful notes with all the good
news they could muster and a joke
or two put in, these two women
wrote extensively of each others
health. Helen was having another
baby, and considering the dangerous
illness and disappointment she went
through when last she expected a
baby, Mama was miserable with
anxiety about it. Carroll might be
called at any time, so they were
living with Mama, and Mama and
Helen wish they could stop crying,
but really, with everything so hor-
rible, it was impossible.
Mama's sacro-iliac trouble had
started up all over again; she had
slipped on the cellar stairs; they'd
had no help that winter, and she
and Helen had to do everything.
Mama was limping around again,
but now poor Helen's ''hour of peril
was close. Carroll was having his
bad sinus trouble and that might
save his being taken. The weather
was terribly wet. Mama had taken
down Gordy's picture because it
broke her heart to see it. ''We1,
this is an awful war, and we will
be glad when it was over" Mama
wrote. "But that is not likely to be
soon. There is no news. Town is
very quiet. Please be careful about
catching colds as we have all had
them. Lovingly, Mama"
Warn Gloom Spreaders.
That's a real letter, and hope
the woman who wrote it chances to
see this article. If you know any
mother who is capable of writing
that sort of thing to an absent, home
sick boy, you might cut it out and
mail it to her. We mustn't do any,
thing, when the boys are far away,
except to cheer them, send them
good news and assure them that we
are with them heart and soul.
Our boys are sweating out under
the African sun and shivering in
Alaska, the land of grayness and
silence and utter dullness. Some c.
our boys lie on the sands, never to
move again. We must tell them Of
the war effort gathering momentum
like a huge snow ball, or cannon
ball, and the home front meeting
changed conditions and sacrifices
and difficulties with courage and
humor and even enjoyment.
So much for the boys fighting on
far away fronts. And when they are
at home let's show a little common
sense.

The important part which plant health nurses are playing in the war effort are helping to maintain the health of workers was brought out in Q discussion of Q typical visit by the industrial nursing con- sultant, Miss Rowena Belden, R,N., of the Bureau of Industrial Hygiene in the weekly broadcast of the State Department of Health today. 11- dustrial nursing include much more than first aid, although first aid often opens the way to health ad- vice of far reaching importance. When a worker comes In to have Q cut finger handaged, he is very apt to ask questions about his personal health problems.
 One of the problems which the industrial nurses have to face is the fact that many of the workers come to the plant without any breakfast, or with just cup os coffee. Conse- Quently they get tired quicker and have more accidents. However, they are constantly being taught the iIn- portance of eating more suitable food and the nurse can give good advice on this. Plants can also take advantage of advice from local nu- tritionists and the services of the State Department of Health nutri. ton consultants.
 Since new processes in industry often bring new hazards to the health and safety of the workers, the industrial nurse is constantly watching for such dangers. The Bureau of Industrial Hygiene is ready at all times to furnish the help of Q chemist or engineer to see If Q new process involves c health hazard, and if 90, 1t will propose methods of controlling 1t. The bureau is in Q position to make an analysis of the material and the workroom air. Meanwhile the in- dustrial nurse can usually help pre- vent serious complications from the process by teaching the workers how to avoid difilculties. Industrial nurses often can find out the real cause of illness before much harm is done.
 Many plant nurses have been able to get management to let them have e brief conference with every new worker about his health problems since experience has shown that much can Do done by reaching the individual right at the start. In- dustry has needed nurses too quickly for them to learn in advance all
