abundantly caught by these low*. At
one station, where the trap was run
every night for five months. It waa
found that the harmful Insects, sucli

almost entirely avoided the light, and
surprisingly few specimens were
caught, wbereaa Ichneumon files, lace

of the farmer were destroyed In vast

NURSING SERVICE IS
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
This American Red Cross Work
Flourishing in Small Towns
Throughout Countcy.
Mora tfcfo 87,000 graduate nurses
have been enrolled In the American
Red Cross to date and Ita department
of nnrslng is dally Increasing this en
rollment.
The department of nurs'lng has been
authorized to maintain an adequate
reserve of nurses for the army and
navy.* It will continue to supply, the
needa of the United States Public
Health Service to' which it has as
signed more than 1,000 nurses In the
last year.
It will isslst establishing proper
nursing service In foreign countries
where the jtmeiican Red Cross has or
ganised hospitals, dispensaries and
schools for nurses. Courses. In home
hygiene and care of the sick have been
started for thousands of women who
have never received any education In
this direction. Rural nursing which
waa In Ita Infancy a short while ago
has put ahenil at least a decade
through the work of the department
ef nursing and • local Red Cross
chapters.
Public health nursing lias been ex
tended to many rural communities and
now flourishes actively In hundreds of
small towns . and counties. Nearly a
thousand efficient nutyes lmv« already
been assigned to this kind of work.
The department of nursing Is unit
ing with other organizations In a year's
campaign In recruiting nurses for
training schools, In educating the gen.
eral public as tb standards of minting
education and In allowing communities
their responsibility toward schools of
nursing. It will endeavor to meet ajl
these needs as well as to continue the
enrollment of dietitians who will he
utilised as Instructors In home dietet
ics, In developing nutritional clinics,
and In supplying dietitians for tlie
United States Public Health Sagvice
and the civilian hospitals.
The Nursing Service will continue to
offer fo women and young girls the
opportunity of securing Instruction In
home hygiene and care of the sick In
every community In the country. This
InstruoMon lias not only laid the foun
dation for public health hut In some
places has given Impetus to the estab>

"As a community profits by the work
of the nurse," says Ills* Clara D.
Noyes. director of the department of
nursing, "It Is logical tbat the com
munity should be aroused to Its respon
sibility. The American Red Cross
standa ready to help In a general cam
paign of recruiting and must have the
support, sympathy and understanding
of the medical profession as well as
the Intelligent co-opierstlon of the
people at large."

ence takes part In many of bis tricks.
Reno uses a number of pets In hia
entertainments, and he allows the
children to play with these pets be
tween times. There Is always a rash
of boys and girls to the stage when
Ueno makes his ippeal fur assistants.
Among the many bewildering trick*
performed by Reno is one in which
he takes a lad's watch from a loaf of
hread when it It supposed to be loeked
securely in a wooden box. Agkln be
ighti a candle, wraps it in heavy pa*
per and later takes it from his inside
•oat pocket, still burning. He shows
.he children how to make two doves
ont of one. He breaks anegg in a pan,
tights a fire underneath it and then
pnlls ont a dock. Everything, Reno
does Is done with an exceedingly clevwr
pair of hands.
