Nurses
Needed Now

AGAIN THE call goes out for
more nurses.
The army needs them. the
navy needs them and civilian
hospitals need them.
The army must have 5000
more nurses this year and the
navy has upped its monthly
quota from 500 to $50.
To help simplify recruitment,
all nurses in Detroit and Michi-
gan have been classified by COM
petent nursing supervisors for
the purpose of determining the
order in which they will be
most available for enlistment
in the armed forces.
And as more and more nurses
20 into service they must be re-
placed in civilian hospitals
which are even now desperately
short of help.
To tighten this shortage the
Red Cross is appealing 10 the
Hidden Nurse" - the nurses
who have retired or are not
practicing their profession-to
return 10 duty.
Hundreds OF hospital beds
have been forced out of service
simply because there are not
enough nurses TO staff them,

ton.

Reporting Directions
For House Plants
BY ISABEL FUCKER
Detrolt TINES Garden Editor

THOSE OF you who live In
the city and have no gardens
in which to sink potted plants
in the summer, will find that
many OF your plants have be-
come pot bound and need 10
be repotted in a larger size pot.
First sort out the plants that
need reporting and note the
sizes of the pots they are in.
Line them up according to size
and see If you can't shift the
little ones into the pots Of the
bigger ones and so on, until
you get to the largest, for which
you may have to buy a pot. This
is a good way Of saving both
money and energy.
Loose Soil
Then knock the plants out OF
their pots by inverting the two
and knocking the edge of the
pot against some projection, as
the edge of a table. This loosens
the plant and II should come
out In your hand with the soil
intact around its roots.
With your fingers remove the
top inch OF soil. Then put a bit
OF broken pot or a small stone
over the drainage hole in the
bottom of the new pot, add a
handful of new soil. place the
plant with its soil, and fill in
around IL with the new soil. A
wooden plant label is a good
tool TO work the loose soil in
around the bali on the plant
roots.
Firm the soil well as II goes
over the top OF the ball and
don't fill the pot too full be-

Bacon Is
Plentiful
By PRUDENCE PENNY

THE FACT that bacon is pill
ing up In stores despite its Spe-
cial no point ration rate can
only mean that Americas home
makers are unaware OF bacons
bountiful main meal interest.
Though bacon became famous
at breakfast, that's no reason to
restrict IL 10 the first meal OF
the day. Bacon fits into dinner
menus where its smoky sweet
flavor Is always welcome and
it's bacon that gives lift TO the
luncheon sandwich or plate.
Whether you buy it by slice
or by slab, you'll find bacon
real bargain and a boon TO
flavor-short meals. Now is your
chance to get more meat nutri-
ton by way of bacon for this no
point meat is high in nutrition
value. The lean of bacon con-
tains body building protein-the
complete kind that all meat is
famed for-besides Vitamin B1
while the rest features much
needed energy value. Fortu-
nately, bacon distinctive
flavor is an obliging blender, fits
in with other foods, makes what
it's mixed with taste better!

The Summer Schools
Enrolment Is l,617

The enrolment in the Univer-
Sity Summer School stands now
at SIT. This information comes
from w. II. Plemmons, admis-
sions officer and acting registrar.
The enrolment in last years
Summer School was 1,707. The
decline of about 100 is less than
was expected in view of the de-
mand for young men in the
armed forces.
There are 122 freshmen en-
rolled now. The number last year
was 1873.
(The figures here given for
last year are for the first term,
to afford a proper comparison
with the present fgures.)
Most of the freshmen now here
are high school graduates l6 and
II years old, boys who want to
get in as much college work as
possible before they are called

Ullrnan to Head
Classics Dept.
Of University
Successor to the Late GuStave
A. Harrer Is a Great Figure
in Classical Scholarship

Though no official announce
ment of the appointment has yet
been made, it became known in
Chapel Hill this week that Bert
hold Louis Ullman, professor of
Latin in the University of Chi
cago since 1925 and one of the
great figures in classical scholar
ship in America, is coming to the
University here in September as
head of the classics department.
He succeeds the late Gustave A.
Harrer in that post.
The customary practice is for
such appointments not to be an
nounced until they are ratified by
the trustees. But the selection of
members of the faculty is left to
the University administration; ;
in the case of important posts,
members of the trustees execu-
tive committee are consulted be-
fore final decision is made; and
so ratification becomes a matter
of form.
Mr.. Ullman made a visit to
Chapel Hill in the spring. He
talked with President Graham,
the deans, and other members of
the faculty; visited the Library
several times; and went about
the village.
A native of Chicago and the
holder of two degrees from the
University there CAB. 1908 and
Ph.D. 1908), he studied in
Munich in 1906 and was at the
American School of Classical
Studies in Rome for two years.
He became professor of Latin at
Chicago after being at the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh 10 years
and at the University of Iowa 6
years.
He has been the editor of, and a
frequent contributor to, journals
devoted to classical languages
and classical literature, and he
is a former president of the
American Pathological Associa-
ton. He is the author of many
books, among them Ancient
Writing and It's Influence. He
has been editor of the Macmillan
Classical Series since 1929.

that the town government con-
tribute part of the cost of such

an instruction period from l1:l5
to II 80 and then a recreational
period till 1890. The pupils have
a wide age-range. Some are
hardly more than babies, others
are of high school age. They are
taught by staff of II instruc-
tors.
The afternoon recreational
period, for both adults and chill
dren, is from 5 to 8 O'Clock a
days a week monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, Friday, from 3:45 to
8 Wednesday, from 3:45 to 6
Saturday, and from 2 to 6 Sun
day. If there is too big a crowd
for the outdoor pool alone, the
indoor pool is also used.
Anybody can use the pools
