THE LAKE SHORE NEWS, THURSDAY, JANUARY 24, 1918 37,500 NURSES WILL BE NEEDED FOR ARMY Nurses Are Being Called to Meet Immediate Needs in Army Hospitals in U. S. WILL ORGANIZE RESERVE War Department is Planning Hos- pitals for Reserve Corps. Thirty-seven thousand five hundred nurses will be needed in the army nurse corps of the medical depart- ment, according to present estimates based on an army of 1,500.000 men. The present strength of the corps is about 3,800. Increasing the enroll- ment by nearly 1.000 per cent in a year is the task confronting the corps. Daily numbers of nurses are being called for to meet immediate needs in army hospitals in the United States and ior duty overseas. The present rate of enrollment does not meet the demands. Hospitals at national guard and national army camps still need 371 nurses to bring the quotas of all up * to the minimum considered neces- sary—65 each. December Applications. Since the army nurse corps made public, early in December, its urgent need for more nurses, 1,903 requests for application blanks have been re- ceived and the blanks forwarded. During the same period 351 nurses have applied for enrollment and many of these already have been accepted. These enrollments are in addition to about 650 nurses obtained through the Red Cross during the same period. In order to get the enrollments up to the needed number some of the requirements heretofore imposed are being waived. According to esti- mates of the nursing committee of the General Medical Board of the Council of National Defense, there are hetween 80,000 and 90,000 regist- ered nurses in the country and about 200,000 others graduate and practical nurses. Reserve to Be Organized. Just as soou as immediate needs of cantonment hospitals have been cared for a reserve of 100 nurses will be organized for eYnergency service in the United States. Lakewood hotel, Lakewood, N. J., has been leased by the government for use as a general hospital for the army and provisions will be made for housing the reserve nurses there. This hotel has not yet been turned over to the War Department, but will be in a week or so. The necessary altera- tions will be made as soon as prac- ticable and the 100 nurses for the reserve will be needed in addition to the permanent nursing staff of the hospital.

Contributions made by residents of Wilmette to the $53,000,000 national war fund of »lie Y. M. C. A. are al- ready paying big dividends in the lives of boys from this community who are undergoing military training at Camp Grant, Great Lakes and the Belleville and Rantoul flying fields, according to the advices received here this week. The cold weather has driven thousands of enlisted men in- side the Y. M. C. A. huts for their amusements, games and letter-writ- jng. The cozy interiors of these buildings, the cheery open fire-places, the phonographs and pianos, book? and magazines form a happy com- bination that spells "home" to the boys away from home. Practically every family in this community has received letters from Illinois boys written on Y. M. C. A. or Red Trian&le stationery which is issued without cost to every man in uniform. It is estimated at Camp Grant that approximately 700,000 let- ters are written each month by the boys in camp. At Great Lakes the. output averages more than 215.000 letters each month. A large percent- age of these represents correspond- ence with loved ones at home, A new building is to be erected shortly for Y. M. C. A. work at Belle- ville, the cost of which is to be $7,- 500, Two officers' club buildings are to be erected at once for the Y, M. C. A. at Camp Grant. All official motion pictures on war activities in the United States bear the name of the Committee on Pub- lic Information, and are distributed only through the committee's divis- ional headquarters or by State Coun- cils of Defense.

The heavies registered 71 points to the losers 10, while the lightweights won, 19 to II. Calhoun at center and Roth at right forward did the heavy scoring for New Trier, Calhoun leading with 14 baskets and Roth following with 12 markers from the field. The lightweights had a real argu- ment with Thornton's quintet in the first half, and the game was featured by the snappy passing of the winners. Bellows, Beach and Holmes lead the New Trier tossers in the scoring. The lineup: Heavyweights—Roth, Colgrove, Cal- houn, Stone and Barnett. Lightweights — Beach. Bellows, Holmes, Bulley, Taylor and Mitchell. GIRLS IN SAILOR TOGS WILL BE PUNISHED Because of persistent abuses of the navy uniform reported to the Great L,akes station. Captain William A. MofFett, the commandant, has sent a letter to each of the thirteen gover- nors of the states of the central dis- trict asking them to co-operate with the Navy Department in prosecuting violators. It is asked that all persons—girls being among the miscreants—wearing any part of the naval uniform be arrested and punished. It has been found that girls habitually wear the navy blouse, and also buttons and other" adornments. Wheat Crop Low. The Italian wheat crop for 1917 was 30 pet cent below the average. Excess fare coupons turned into money by the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court estab- lishing a maximum rate of 2 cents a mile, are to be redeemed as quickly as possible, Edward J. Brundage, attorney gen- eral, representing the state, and Silas H. Strawn, counsel for the railroads, made the announcement Monday after a conference in Chicago. Notices to this effect over Mr. Brundage's signature will be posted in every rail- road ticket office in the state. "Commencing at midnight, January 26." said Mr. Strawn, "the railroads will receive for redemption the cou- pons evidencing the payment of ex- cess fare. These coupons may be presented at any ticket office of the issuing railroad and will be trans- mitted by the agent to the general agent and will be promptly paid by check. "The railroads are now preparing and will have in effect February 1, 1918, instructions and tariffs fixing the intrastate fare in accordance with the Illinois statutes, not to exceed 2 cents per mile. The railroads would put these tariffs into effect immedi- ately could they be printed, but on account of the government fuel order closing the printing shops, and the large amount of work necessary to prepare the instructions and tariffs, it is impossible to get them in the hands of the agents before midnight, January 31. "Until February 1, on account of the inability to reprint tickets and issue instructions to agents, the rail- roads are compelled to continue to charge at the rate of 2.4 cents per mile, each ticket sold carrying a cou- pon which will be redeemed on and after January 28, 1918." wmmmmm, 'mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^ 'SMILEAGE" LATEST IN WAR'S LEXICON Another new word has been added to war's picturesque lexicon. It is "smileage." Books containing cou- pons of admission to amusement houses in the various sixteen army cantonments are referred to as "Smileage Books." The plan oi sup- plying men with amusement has been reduced to military efficiency. THE CONVENIENT NORTH SHORE LINE I The all-steel Limited 8:24 A. M.
