THE INGERSOLLS lngersolls are miniature alarm-clocks worn by all ood nurses. They consist of wear-ever cases, legigle numerals, and breakable crystals. The bigger share of these watches have two capable hands, while the better ones have tiny helping hands thrown in, in one corner. The latter need only be used, however, in case of emergency. If, for instance, the pulse goes over 160 it really is much better to rely on their use. Your old high-school course in commercial arithmetic is apt to fail you here. Don't use them, though, unless absolutely necessary for they are apt to wear out. lngersolls also have backs which need only be rubbed occasionally. In case the shine disappears, a good rub-down with furniture polish will prove helpful. The supply on second annex will perhaps reach. If your skin is dark, the black-faced ones will perhaps suit you best. Financially, they are taboo. The radiolite connected with this type is a wonderful asset. By using it in making night rounds you can easily dispense with the usual lantern or candle-light. You're not so apt to stumble either. The faces of all lngersolls must be washed habitually for sanitary reasons only. Black faces are not exempt. I think the Rx is a thorough scouring with sa lio, a dash of warm soapsuds, and a good rinsing with sterile water. Medicated alcoho can be used if there is a fissure in the glass anywhere. After three years of experience, I Find the internal organs of Ingersolls to be quite a puzzle. It really is best to study your anatomy elsewhere. The springs also are apt to run dry, so don't rely on them while doing welfare work in a desert. The convenience and beauty of lngersolls is quite pronounced. Some wear them in place of necklaces. And all this for a dollar! -E. K.e'28. THE A.M. IN THE NURSES DORM What We Should Do - It's 5:45 and the buzzers we hear:- We raise on our elbows-the weather is clear, Jump right out of bed and dress with a vim, To breakfast we are before time for the hymn. What We Do - l It's 5 :45 and the buzzers do roar:- A monotonous sound, yet we continue to snore Till 6:20 when, we dress in all haste And rush to the table our breakfast to taste.
