MILITARY STATUS FOR ARMY NURSE ?Vtf Army School of Nursing Soon to Be Brought Under Federal Control. ALWAYS DEMAND FOR NURSES Pfriint Training Sohool Kxlsta Only fey Order of 8ooraUry of Was? *** Washington.?That the army school at nursing wUl soon bo made an In tegral part of the army organisation Is the hope of MaJ. Julia Stlmaoc, su perintendent of the army nurse corps. The nurse corps believes In pre paredness for service?In peace or an emergency. And preparedness, from the point of view of the corps, moans a training school for nurses, eorre spondlng In a general way with the training school for officers at West ?oint. We have such a school, but It exists only by an order of the secretary of war. This may be a permanent enough existence, but It has an Indefinite sound. Congress is to be asked, there fore, to give this Important school a military status so that it may be a part of the army and so that the student nurses may have the relative rank of cadets, Instead of the atatua of civilian employees of the medical department of the army. Until the recent war the army main tained a ainall standing corps of nurses In tithe of peace and when It needed large numbers recruited them from the Red Cross nursing service. But dur ing the World war the army opened its own training school to fit women for service, and It proved a successful venture. The first class of 000 young women was graduated last June. They served during their training at Walter Reed and Letterman General hospitals and other army hospitals In this conn try, and In that way rendered valuable service. Trained for Civilian Service. The school of nursing cannot use all of its graduates in ordinary times, but those who are not needed go out well trained to give service in civilian fields. Some of the army nurse gradu ates have gone into the newest line of nursing, public health work. Others have gone Into private hospitals, homes. Institutions and factories There is need for every one of them, for there are never enough nurses graduated from first-ciasa schools, it seems. It is because of this great need for well-trained nurses and because it is ad economy to the government to gat its nursing done partly by stu dents?aa most hospitals do?that the army school of nursing expects to con tinue. The school Is rsally two schools. Waiter Reed hospital In this ci v takes the greater part of the students, but to make It easier for Western girls to take the course, training is also given In San Francisco at the Letti rman General hospital. It is interesting to visit the school at Walter Reed. One goes with the vague idee, perhaps, that first aid la the prominent subject In any army nurse's course. He would not be sur prised to find one of the demonstra tion rooms fitted out like a camp with dummies dressed In khaki to be used as models for dressing imaginary wounds. One finds, however, that there la very little of the emergency atmos phere In the school. Hospital and transportation facilities for wartime nursing have been developed so highly during the late war that the army nurse can count on having practically the same apparatus as the nurse in any civilian boapital. Nor la the army nurse taught only the technique needed in treating battle cases. She goes through the same course of training that the civilian nurse does. One of the Instructors points out with patriotic pride that the army school is one of the few schools of nursing in the country that is able to cover the entire course recommended by the League of Nursing education. "The srmy^can do this," said the nurse instructor, "because the students are on ward duty less than in most hospitals. And then, too, there are so many instructors from the army medi cal school who can be called on to lec ture for us. "Besides the unusual opportunity of studying with so many specialists, the army nurse student has an opportunity to visit and study in other hospitals. Thers la no provision for teaching pub lic health nursing at Walter Reed, nor for mental nursing, nor care of chil dren nor maternity cases. For these subjects, the army affiliates with hos pitals specialising In such cases. Stu dents spend at least a third of their three years In these other hospitals. For public health nursing they have been going to the famous Henry Street Settlement In New York, end for other subjects to New York, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania anfi to St Elisabeth's, the government hospital for the In sane. In Washington." Woman Finds Beer on Foroh.

Commercially the bead let tuce baa almost displaced the older ; leaf varieties, but the home gardener knows that leaf lettuce Is the earliest of all and just as finely flavored and tender as the big cabbage varieties. It Is also the first lettuce to mature for cable use, so a small planting of a good leaf variety la advisable to give a crop before the head varieties are ready to j cut ?Id fer Popularity. Romalne or coe lettuce la making a j very successful bid for home-garden I popularity. It la much easier to grow than the head lettuces, especially after the weather is warm, and It la fslly ns delicate. The leaves, being long and narrow, and growing upright naturally blanch the heart and this process Is easily assisted by tying the tips of the leaves together lightly. It matures quickly. Sowings of leaf, head aud coe let tuce give e good succession. The real way to get head lettuce that will really head, and the only way, la to start the plants either indoors or ln?a hotbed or cold frame, when the weather will not permit planting In the open and have the plants growing slong to transplant as- soon as the weather permits. Lettuce can be grown In the open ground for the greater pert ; of the winter In many portions of the South and In others, with a cold frame protection. It can be kept going all winter. , Gives Much Trouble. Head lettuce glvea gardeners a great deal of trouble, largely because they drill the seeds into the soil and leave them too thick In the ruwt until they are so far advanced In growth the thin ning does no good. Transplanting Is most essential aa the check to the growth seems to thicken up the plant and start It on Its way to a head. When transplanting, after three or four leaves haVe been made, cut off half of them, that Is, snip the tops of the leaves for about half their lentth. Lettuce must have heavily fertilised ground and the highest standard of cultivation. Hie plants must be kept Popular Varieties of Lettuce. cultivated and growing at top epeed. Water shoald be supplied when a dry spell Impends. If the ground Is rich, well tilled, the plants given a distance of at least six Inches apart In the rows after transplanting and kept well cul tivated, there Is no reason why any gardener shouldn't have reasonably good head lettuce. The great problem In lettuce growing Is to keep It grow ing without a check. I . BEST RESULTS FROM MANURE ] ?_ On Heavy Soils Fertiliser Tends to Open Up Compact Land If Plowed Under. Manure on heavy soils gives better j results If plowed under. It can be mixed better with the soil and the de cay tends to open up soils having a i compact texture. Strawy manure, If not plowed under In fall, gives best results when turned under early in spring. Fine manure gives better re sults for top dressing. On poor land i use part of the manure for top dress ing clover and grass to get a good stand, rather than apply all of it to corn land.
