"If an epidemic should break out the situation would be alarming, as so many nurses are away from tho city Last month, when there was a recur rence of Influenza, several hundred ap plications were received dally at the Nurses' Directories, which could not be filled " In order to meet the necessity in the case of private patients, the Visiting Nurses' Association, 1340 Lombard street, has established an "hourly nurii Ir.g sen Ice" to that people who eannni find proper help tuny secure a nurst from the association by tha hour, "Whiles we have plenty of nurses on our stnff," said Miss Tucker, superin tendent of the Visiting Nurses' Asso ciation, "it Is almost Impossible to get a private nurse.

It is a dazzling story of how daring men of two hemispheres are raising these ships: 500 already ! IS CENTS although It Is heavier than It was In December. So many nurses are ab sent In the service." Mr, Test said rsterday 3000 nurses In the service ought to return to civilian life.
