The young nurses were needed badly. as many of the graduates. were giving service in France,2md student nurses were compelled to do private duty. In the summer they had their First terms of night duty, and then vacations came. In the fall at 1918 came the well remembered epidemic of intiuenza. Christ Hospital nurses were quarantined as :1 safeguard for their health. 7311': they were i not spared an attack of the epidemic. and in December, 1918, a portion of the hospital was set apart and quarantined tor the sick nurses. The best of cure was given and they were fortunate enough to escape with 110 fatalities. In 1919 the graduate nurses returned from France and the student nurses were relieved nf special duly. Many of the students left to take up matrimonial responsibilities. The class of 1921 was given many interesting lectures by staff physicians during this year.

Tux; REIGN m: TERROR. The next three months were a mixture of classes, duty. getting acquainted and becoming accustomed to subjection. To those who had lived a ezlr-e-free life, the majestic supervisors seemed like the monarchs of old, always hovering near when least expected. Each night those blue-and-white-striped, grountl-grippered, weary souls hastened off duty, glad of the chance to rest. Soon, however, things became more quiet and peaceful. THE BLACK PLAGUE This calm did not last, f0' a terrible disease called inHuenza infested the Hospital and surrounding country. The inhabitants were placed in strict quar- antine.

The thrill. however. that came with our caps and hchues was none the less for this. We. too, were afraid to don sweaters, or lean back in a chair, for a week eeven as our predecessors.

W. Fugv Tilir'fy-cighf HEN we came. 'tluterne had a wonderful and dreadful meaning 10 us. Yt'e learned in Ethics that we must not speak tn them or look at them. much less go out of a door before them, or sit down in their presence Therefore, we had hardly gotten a good 100k at Dr. Mann and Dr. Smith, when they left. W'c all know of Dr. Smitlfs success with Dr. McKim, and we can hope that he will some day be as cfticient as Dr. McKim is, Then came Dr. White, Dr. Clark, Dr. Eliff and Dr. Suffron. Dr. XVhite perhaps was liked as well or better generally than any other interne we have ever had, and nobody wanted to see him leave. We know that he will make a wonderful success, and we wish him all the luck in the world. Dr. Fred Clark, whom every one liked and who had a very promising future, died of influenza while serving his interneship. Every one deeply and sincerely regretted his death, D11 Ehff and Dr. Suffron were well liked both by the lhtClUrt-i atul by the nurses. They have both started out for themsclves 1mm and from all reports are having great success. We have learned that D12 Ruusey and Dr, Conner are doing exceptionally well for young doctors.

As the doctors say. You have four promising young men here as internes? and we are sure that they are trusted and admired. Perhaps we know them better than most of our former internes. but we like them nevertheless.

Going off duty at seven otclock, Tired, discourzigetl and ready to drop, But called back on Hspecial at seven-Flt'teen, W ith woe in her heart that must not be seen, Morning and evening, noon and night. Just going on and hoping it's right. When we lay down our caps and cross the bar, 0 Lord, will you give us just one little star To Wear in our crowns with our uniforms new, In the City above where the Head Nurse is you? QM Page Forty NEW SURGERY f VERY serious and unusual operation is to be performed at this hospital ' in the near future. In fact. this operation is unheard of ZLS far 21:5 the medical world knows, and only :1 very competent and experienced man would ever undertake as difficult a task. After consulting many of the best-known and successful surgeons in this part of the country, it was decided that Dr. Coppock would be the best man. He. though young, and therefore healthy and able to withstand better the nervous strain. has had a great deal of splendid experience. Dr. Tucker. who is considered one of the best anaesthetists in the city, will administer the zuizesthetic and also give whatever medical advice is. necessary. since it is expected that this will turn out to be a very serious case, no doubt affecting the patientls mind. Dr. Horn will assist, and although Dr. Coppock is just :1 little afraid to trust any one else at all, he has finally consented to let Dr. Lindner dress the wound after the Hrst ten days, during which time Dr. Beatty and Dr. Rogers will take care of it. of course, under Dr. Coppockls personal supervision. Because of the rarity of this operation. any of the student nurses who think they will be able to stand it will be permitted to come. Miss Schroeder and Miss Wilson will handle. Dr. Coppock is also extending an invita- tion to the medical students, who are. no doubt, very eager to observe. since they may never again see an operation of this kind. We regret to say that the patient is one of our student nurses. who appears to be very healthy, and :15 yet shows no serious symptoms excepting perhaps a little heart or mind trouble occasionally, Her name is Miss Habekotte. Miss Silver first noticed that something was wrong. There were medium-sized. peculiar- looking growths over each ear, causing her hair to stand out in a very abnormal way. Miss Silver spoke to her about it. but, of course. the poor girl was unable to do anything. Then Miss Deaver and the rest of the supervisors were called into consultation. and they all tried, but nothing seemed to do any good, and so it was tinally decided that she should receive surgital treatment. The operation will be known as a 'lilaterztl lsluffectoniyf' Great preparations are being made for the operation; even new instruments. are being made by the Max lVocher Company, such as combs and brushes. It is beginning to be believed that this disease may be contagious, for other such growths have been noticed on other people, but they seem to disappear periodically. It also seems to appear only on women. The surgeons are taking up the matter carefully. Dr. Lapsley being especially interested. and they are hoping to be able to discover soon the cause and the remedy.

' Pogo Forfy-fom- 0n the street by a woman who seemed to be in great distress. By her tact and kindly. sympathetic manner. Miss Thohurn drew from the woman her tale of woe. A native of the Kentucky mountains and a stranger to the city, she Came believing that help would be given her in the City Hospital Unfortunately, she knew' nothing of the regula- tions which made it necessary for officials to turn her away from the doors 0f 21 hospital already teeming with its own sick. She was. suffering from a disease which needed prompt surgical attention. What could be done for this poor stranger? Mimi Thohum did not hesitate, but gave up her own room, and after making the woman cmnfortable called the doctor. The result to this woman was a successful operation, peaceful convalescence and future happiness. Thus. the foundation stone of love, helpfulness and understanding was laid, from which has sprung our beloved hospital of today. The work grew so rapidly that one frame building 011 York Street, consisting of eleven moms. grew in thirty years to our present tx'ell-equipped group of buildings 011 Mt Auburn. In june Of 1893. through the great generosity and broad vision of Mr. james Gamble, Sr., and his children. what would have been otherwise impossible was made a concrete reality: He purchased the Thane Miller Hoarding School for Girls, which was thoroughly renovated at great expense, with the capacity for accommodating sixty patients. In quick succession followed the l-Vumen's Ward, laundry. power plant which generated electricity for the whole establishment and also furnished steam heat and refrigeration. Improvements and additions were constantly being made. in 1903 the building was cmnpletely renn- vated and remodeled. 113' raising and cmnpleting the fourth story. its capacity was increased to one hundred and twenty beds. Lip to this. time only Methodist tleleOUCSSCS were eligible to enter as student nurses, but in this year the distinction was eliminated and the training school was opened to all Christian young women who desired to take pmfessimial nurse train- ing. There were accommodations provided for sixty students. In 1906 the beautiful Home for Nurses situated west of the Hospital was built by Miss Lillian Gamble and given in memory of her beloved sister. lMary E. Gamble. The Butler property was purchased in 1910, and prmnises in he a great I asset to Christ Hospital in the fulure. This was added for the much-ueedetl Page I'.0rfjl-fi7r'l- Childrenk Department. During the war, however, the pressing need for nurses made it necessary to use this building, as well as an additional apartment, for the accommodation of the young women who came to enlist in this department of the cnuntryis service. The Children's Department was therefore temporarily closed. Then imagine! In 1912 the reputation of Christ Hospital was so well estab- lished that the hospital authorities were forced to refuse as. many applicants :13; were admitted. As a result of this, after making a speedy survey. the management appointed a building committee, which developed a progressive building plan. Anderesto! iefore our eyes arises the present Christ Hospital with its beautifui new fivewstoried, fire-pmof unit, which sprang into being at the south of the original building and connected with it by means of spacious. corridors, at a cost of $300,000. .1 t The popular belief that after the age of eighteen growth ceases proves to be a fallacy here, for though we have reached the mature age of thirty-two, and are surrounded on :11! sides by sloping banks, still we continue to spread. Building additions seems here to he a contagious disease. Once you have had smallpox 01' chickenpox, you are considered immune to a future attack; but propinquity, necessity. of whatever you will, once you start building at Christ Hospital. you have started a condition hard to check. May the Rockefeller Institute never discover :1 strong ennugh serum to combat this wmkness! In the summer of 1920 :1 germ of growth was found dormant in the Duane property and was carefully nourished into stronger life, with the result that the old, but commodious home- stead, situated in almost the center of spacious grounds which extend through to Glencoe Place. 1 '35 added to our group of buildings. After renovation this building serves as headquarters for executive ofE-cers and supervising nurses. The Children's Department will he reopened about the time this goes to print. The accommodations used during the wur as part of the Nurses' Home are admir- ably titted for convuleseing little ones. The house is situated on top of IL hill. with broad lawns and mzmy beautiful trees, under which the kiddies can enjoy them selves, resting or romping :15 their Ctmtlitilm permits during the time of comm leswence.

Miss Mary Florence Denver is. our present beloved superintendent of nurses. The present high standing of the Christ Hospital is largely due to the earliest and self-sacrihcing spirit and fine capability of this noble woman. Her activities would be greatly curtailed without the able, tactful and persevering co-operution of Miss Maude Silver. assistant superintendent, and the other members of the faculty. The quiet, intensive and skillful management of Miss Miriam Hopkins is an example of unobtrusive service which makes the wheels of our financial department run smoothly.

In the first place, she must have a practical mind. For example: when told by a surgeon that she must give V4 grain of morphine she must instantly know that this means to give the patient at lmst a grain or more of said drug. Surgeons and doctors rarely mean what they say. especially when ordering El. dose of medicine 01' mentioning the price of eggs.

If you will pardon the reference. kind rezuler, I will here state an instance wherein a nurses intuitimt would have saved her and the Hospital where she at the time was stationed much distress. and where her lack 0f intuition played havoc with the authorities and the powers that be. 011 a certain night in tthe month I; feel obliged to umiU on the second Tuesr day of the fifth week of the above mentioned month. at the hour of t'pardon me, sweet reader, if I see tit to omit the houtj a man, who was afterwards found to be neither doctor, patient nor friend of patient. in other words, it crook 0f the vilest, meanest sort. entered above ttlentioned hospital. that at the time mentioned was stationed in a middle-sized town of the Middle XVest. Jardmt me, dear reader, if I pause here long enough to mention the fact that since the disgraceful episode I am about to recall. this middlc-sized town of the Middle West has changed its name and even gone so far as to pave some of the streets and paint some ofihthe houses, the better to change its entire aspect that those who might have heard of the occurrence could be fooled. In othereOIher words, bamboozled, gefuddled. The hospital itself was obliged to change its name, and even went so far as to plant shruhbery 011 the front lawn, in order to sink its former identity into the oblivion of the past. V 1 7 h To proceed. The man entered the hospital on some pretext or other at the time mentioned. He wore light-blue eyes, fair hair, of the usual amount, which is sometimes more and sometimes less, according to the age and occupation of the individual. Hi5 mustache, he evidently left outside, for he was not clothed in it when seen. His suit was blue, darker than his eyes. and most peculiar; SRIGHblult was composed of coat, trousers and vest. The next thing I shall mention is? by- fin- the most peculiar zmd signiftcant fact known to any one ever connected in any; way Page 50'0ng ty-m! c with agencies dealing with crime, the Cal Crim agency excluded. The 1111111, 1101 Cal, but the subject of my narrative, at the time he was noticed by this nurse, was carrying a brown derby hat in his left hand, occasionally changing it to his right. Now, precious reader, that. 111 itself, 511011111 have thrust 1tse1f into the 11111111 and intuition of the nurse, that the 111:111 who carries. such a hat or would even g0 50 1111' as to occasionally wear :1 hat answering that description,1111111111 moat cer- tainly be instigator and perpetrator, even alligator and incineratm. of crime.

Another trait the nurse 1111151 11eve10p is tact.
