"The gravity of the sltua* .tion lies in the problem Immediately confronting >the country. It is inconceivable that our boys and, men, who are offering all they have for us; should not have the best care that the utmost skill and devotion can give them. Nurses have responded -jjplendldly to military service, as soon as they have ffealiKed the enormity of the needs. J "The nursing profession will not fall. But th« fact that must be brought home to everyone Is that i , every nurse released for military duty leaves a Vacancy in civilian life. And this, too, at a time When there is an increased amount of sickness and distress brought about by the very war conditions JKfrieh decrease the number of nurses in civilian Jkospitals. ; ;* "By a recent estimate of the surgeon general's Office ^not far from 30,000 nurses may be needed, 1 |f the war continues, for our army alone, and the •llies are depending on us to supplement their Own nursing service. There are between 80,000 md 90,000 nurses registered in the United States, approximately 17,000 of this number are already enrolled Red Cross nurses. This enrollment is the reserve of the United States army nurse corps ancFT navy nurse corps, and from it nurses are also sup­ plied to the United States public health service a4" jhhquired. "Since the declaration of war the department of parsing has selected and equipped for service with the army nurse corps 4,204 nurses, and with the" navy nurse.corps 570. It is maintaining several hundred more directly under the Red Cross, in-;. "eluding 89 nurses in France, 12 in Roumania, three^ to Greece and one in Serbia, and 56 Red Cross pub* Be health nurses on duty in the sanitary zones sur­ rounding the cantonments. There are also over nurses organized into units and practically idy for mobilization. , "Though the enrollment of nurSes with the Red t3i*oss averages 1,000 a month, not even this num­ ber will meet the constantly increasing needs of the government," continued Miss Delano. "So far, py careful adjustment these demands have been tnet without seriously disorganizing the home con- Itiotfs. But from now on every possible effort, ill have to be made by the general public, as well by the nursing profession and nurses' training schools to meet wisely and effectively the crisis that is created by the rapidly decreasing number of nurses in civilian hospitals." ^ When asked how the general public could con» fiibute to bring this about, Miss Delano outlined Several plans of co-operation. •The general public," she said, "can co-opera to In such vital matters as releasing more private duty nurses for military duty. It can do this defi* •, nltely and immediately by utilizing hospital facili­ ties, visiting nurses, and similar agencies where one nurse can care for several patients; by fam­ ilies learning to care for minor illnesses in their own homes, and by preparing by whatever means are afforded in their communities to assist in all matters pertaining to public health, ' ' "A striking example of how the women of the country have already begun to take hold of the, Situation Is the fact that over 50,000 women have satisfactorily completed the Red Cross courses of 15 lessons each in 'Elementary Hygiene and Home Cure for the Sick* and 'Home Dietetics,' which were established for the purpose of aiding women to care for the sick lq their own homes. Several groups of men, about to move into Isolated dis- , jfelcts, have also taken these courses. -- "Then," continued Miss Delano, "public Interest " |s needed in recruiting the nursing profession. The Country through the surgeon general, through the . Bed Cross, through the council of national defense, t everywhere, has pressed its need of more nurses. Capable and edu- ' cated young women can perform no more patriotic service than by entering training schools for nurses and thus preparing to adopt nursing as a profes-. sion. This crisis is not just of this year and the , - next and perhaps the next, but for ma ny years t% come. The sick and wounded may before long b$. crowding our civilian as well as our base hospital!*. We shall be confronted by serious health prob- lems for many years as an aftermath of the war.'* . Since the entrance of the United States into ths war the number of pupil nurses entering training schools for nurses has increased 20 per Cent over the year before. Very generally, Miss Delano said^ Superintendents and directors of training schools throughout the country have, with great resource­ fulness and energy, arranged for the training and housing of an increased number of students. Some­ times when the latter has not been possible, pub­ lic-spirited people have placed suitable accommo­ dations at their disposal. In some cases, too, th<|*;, huur>f of truiniug have been arranged to permit students to take the course and live at their own. homes. ' , * Miss Clara Noyes, o^e of the most distinguished - Women of her profession in the Uuited States, re­ cently superintendent of the training school for nurses in connection with Bellevue and Its allied hospitals in New York, and at present director of the bureau of field nursing of the Red Cross, has , been acting as field agent for this bureau for some, weeks, addressing mass meetings in a niluiber of Cities, urging the recruiting of nurses. Hospitals and training schools are undertaking arduous, difficult and heavily increased tasks with enthusiasm, as a patriotic duty, she reported. Also, they have given and are giving in many instances, : the most valued members of their staffs of nurses fpr military service, in the same spirit of sacrifice , that has made the Individual nurse give up ail con* ' slderation of personal comfort or advantage, to face stern duties abroad; and the woman who would eagerly fiave gone on foreign duty stands by her post when most needed at home, with the , steadfast purpose of serving the colors with all her Ability wherever she might be assigned. The young probationer, just starting out on her hospital course, finds one of her greatest satisfac­ tions in the knowledge that she, too. Is serving the Oplors from the very first day of her training, which she does very literally by aiding in the care of the civilian sick and thus helping directly in the pres­ ent emergency. And another of the satisfactions' of her work is that immediately upon the comple­ tion of her course she enters upon the full respon­ sibilities and opportunities for usefulness of the graduate nurse. Miss Delano pointed out further the wide scope of activities open to the trained nurse, and the feet, that after the war, when all the wortd will be looty^ tog to a new foundation of public health and we|»4 * fare, women of superior ability will be needed id greater numbers than ever before in hospitals andi schools of nursing as superintendents and super­ visors, Instructors and lecturers. ( The profession of nursing, Miss Delano empha­ sized, is not alone the care of the sick In hospital and homes. It is the care <?f babies and prenat Instruction of mothers; supervision of the henltf; of schoolchildren; Instruction and care of tubers. . culosls patients; nursing and welfare work in infe " dustrlal plants; mental hygiene work, and hospital* social service; and it enters into almost everj> . --branch of the social service structure. Bulletinsdealing in the most concrete way witl#* #U the questions likely to be asked by young wom. 4 * en considering the nurse's training, have been Is- . ' sited by the committee on nursing of the council of jpuion except when on active duty. When called "Mm for service yith the United States army or ,*avy nurse corps they receive the pay and main- finance provided by law for these corps, and are Entitled to the same war-risk insurance as officers 'Iind enlisted men. All Red Cross nurses assigned to duty iti military or naval hospitals automatically become members of the Army and Navy Nurse Corps, and after their assignment to duty are no longer uuder the supervision or direction of the ,|ted Cross. ." In order to meet the increasing demands of the Army and Navy Nurse corps, the Red Cross has modified its former requirements for enrollment. The age limit has been lowered to twenty-one years, and in special cases nurses over forty may he accepted. Smaller schools for nlirses have been placed on the accredited list, and applicants are Judged on their merits. , The American Red Cross has no schools' for nurses, nor does it give or authorize any short course which qualifies one as a trained nurse. Short courses which it does give in "Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick" and "Home iMetetlcs" are not equivalent to hospital training. But satisfactory completion of the first course is the first step in becoming a Red Cross Volunteer JKurses' Aid, the term which is applied to those yi^omen who, having met definite requirements of, «tjhe Red Cross, are available for such service us i-.-they have voluntarily pledged themselves to give. If it becomes necessary to rely on the assistance of volunteers to aid in the care of sick and wound­ ed soldiers and sailors, they will be selected from among those who have liyd this instruction. The women so selected will be given an opportunity for practical experience of one month of eight hours daiiy in approved hospitals. No guarantee of se­ lection for service is given by the Red Cross, but It urges upon the women of the country the prac­ tical value of these courses to home and con}> munlty.. - « <v» "Every day, at the headquarters of the Red Cross in Washington, nurses are being mobilized for duty at home or abroad." said Miss Delano. "A call may come in the morning for a group of ^nurses for service with the British expeditionary tforces. In the afternoon for another group spe- , eially skilled in contagious work for a cantonment hospital at home, or for public health nurses need- . #d in the sanitary zones surrounding the canton- 4uents.

I When we were schoolboys we read Interest about the strange-looking hornbill which lived in India and Africa and walled its wife in a tree when she was ready to hatch her eggs. Brant studies of thepe birds, of which there are half a dozen varieties, says Libcary of j^twral History, »- veals the fact that the female hornbill helps her mate wall her in. They build the nest inside a hollow tree. Then the female climbs in and lays her eggs. Her mate brings mud and Sticks which she helps arrange Into a strong barricade, leaving only a small hole through which, as the weeks pass, her mate passes food to her mouth. A persistent naturalist in Damaraland dug a female bird out of her tree nest. As a reward for the laceration of hi-t hands by her sharp bill he found a miserable, hatf-fnmlgh«d leatfeerjeas. withered-looking bird. She had been molting while hatching her eggs. "Very probably," writes the ingeni­ ous traveler, "the female bird knows she looks like Sam Hill with her feathers off and tells her mate that he must shut her in, making the hatch­ ing period her excuse.

Leroy Pelleti«r, speaking on "Prosperity," at Detroit. "We hear a lot nowadays to the effect, that we Americans are a wasteful and extravagant people. And It is said by way of condemna­ tion, or at least of reproof. Yet when the war had been precipitated by the most frugal, people on earth --except the more primitive races of savages--the extravagant nation was asked to finance and to prosecute the war to a successful finish. , . "We expect to do this from the sur­ plus left from our extravagance. Yes I And it is because of our extravagance that we have the money to do It. • "China has great resources. Why are not the Chinese wealthy? Be­ cause they have worn the same style of clothes for a thousand years, and have subsisted on one diet--plain rice!

"It doesn't matter that the $5,000 roadster Is a'non-essential to the son of a rich man, or that the luxurious limousine could be dispensed with by the rich man himself--that doesnt matter.

A grlfn story is told of an air raid on Paris. If its truth were not vouched for by the mpst respectable authority one would say tliat it was an invention of De Maupassant In his most macabre vein. While the work of rescue was going on by candle light In one of the houses which had suffered most the crowd was suddenly horrified by the defiant notes of the "Ilakoexy March,** blared out apparently by a strong brass band. Every one was aghast at so brutal an Insult till the tenant of a flat on an upper flyor said that he had an orchestrion which played that par­ ticular ttme. The explosion must have set it in motion. At the risk of their lives home firemen managed to reach the machine, but In the dark, and not knowing about Its mechanism, they could -not stop It..

But a dual service which recently took place Is probably unique. Not far behind the lines two services were held sim­ ultaneously in the village church--the one being the usual Roman Catholic service attended by the Inhabitants-- while the other was a Protestant one for a battalion of Australians "resting" In the vicinity. The proceedings open­ ed by the singing of a hymn by the Australians to music supplied by their own band. Then the French cure ad dressed Ills flock, after which it was the turn of the Protestants--and so on--each congregation taking it in turn until the service w»s concluded.-- London Chronicle. Gulls as Submarine Detectors. Dr. A. D. Pentz, Jr., of New Bright­ on. L. I., has developed a plan for using gulls to disclose the presence of submarines. He suggests that hoppers 64 Inches long be made of sheet steel and bolted to the tops of submarines, to be filled with chopped fish, which may be released from time to time by means of a crank apparatus InsWe the vessel. In this way gulls will be taught to associate submarines with food and will gather clamorously over any sub­ marine that may appear In the waters.
