In the army nurse corps there are opportunities for advancement to the grade. of chief nurse, and nurses in charge of the operating rooms at some of our large general hospitals are also promoted to this grade be- cause of their great responsibility.

Announcement is also made that 'the uniform of the army nurse corps is to be changed from navy blue to olive drab, the same as worn by the army.

The heritage of war is often more pitiful, heartrending and terrible than battle itself, he says. The aftermath, he says, due to stress and strain, is an increase in crime, insanity, which is closely allied to crime, and suicide, for a number of years after war is actually over. More people die as the result of war than are killed, he says, more crimes are committed against per- sons and property, more people are], treated in hospitals as the result of the strain of the times, more persons reach the breaking point of their lives than at any other period, and there is more distress and disorder. Influenza, Chief Vollmer says, left thousands of people in a weakened physical and mental condition. This, with the worries due to war, has re- sulted in a great number of persons reaching the limit of their capacity and breaking down. When the breaking point in every physical and mental make-up is reached, says the chief, the instincts that have been repressed by training, education, environment and civiliza- tion come to the surface. It is then that the criminal tendencies begin to show. They are not necessarily weaker than others; it is due to the amount of tension to which they have been subjected. He does not expect crime to dimin- ish until there is less strain and ten- sion in everyday life, worries and cares are not as great, and condi- tions are nearer normal. To inform the world "where my heart is" Miss Alice Robertson, the new congresswoman-elect from Ok- lahoma, attended a dance of Musko- gee, Okla. Post of the American Le- gion.
