PLACED!! ' Nurses Dilemma Some folks have fits and others have spasms, Several need stitches in most awful chasms, Some have the back ache and some have the chills, While others need nothing but potent pink pills. I hold their poor heads and wipe their damp noses, And Concentrate vainly on gardens of roses,' I watch the M.D. as he prods and he slices, And assume profound interest through different crises. Surrounded by medical aid and attentions, I'm greatly impressed-do you think I dare mention The fact that my nose is a singular red And ask the-nz to cure this bad cold in my head! Three A. M. In The Hospital It's three o'clock in the morning, I've been busy the whole night through. Emergencies, lights and babies, There's never a respite, 'tis true, Daylight soon will be dawning The temperatures must be taken too. I could go right on forever, But I'll be darned if I do. Our House Mother Our dear house mother dia'n't live in a shoe, But she had so many children her day fairly flew. They were always bobbing up in the oddest places, But uhen she chided they would only make faces They slid dovtn banisters and stood on their heads When ten o clock came they uere not in their beds. They would lose their Inez s tear holes in their dresses- They demanded late leaves and good night caresses. .-Ind what with their questions their antics and folly They kept the house mother both busy and jolly. I I V ll 7 ll 7 V I She taught them, she soothed them and read them a rhyme , H 1 ' tyn But she just couldnt worry-efor she hadn t the time And when a tempestuous neighbor one night Velled Cant you keep those nurses more quie , Mother Amos listened and gave a long sigh And began to sing In the sweet bye and bye. -Hill s

DLACEBO The Diifiteren cc Tennyson could take a worthless piece of paper, write a poem on it and make it worth 365,000-thatls genius. Henry Ford could write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth 55,000,000-that's capital. The U. S. can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp upon it an eagle bird and make it Worth SZO,OOOQthat's money. A merchant can take an article worth thats business. A ditch digger works ten hours a day earth for 51.00-that's labor. A surgeon can take a dilapidated piece to pieces and sew it together again, making it as good as new- that's skill. A nurse can purchase a 251: pair of hose but prefers those that cost 255.00--thats foolishness. The writer of this could write a check for S80,000,000, but it wouldn't be worth a dime-thats tough. Every member of the class of '31 should willingly pay her dues on time-fthats loyalty. If you dont it will be taken out of your allowance-that's the truth. 75c and sell it for 31.00- and handles several tons of of human machinery, cut it Q The Nurse She hides her rare beneath a tender s1niZe,' She tails long hours as though it were a joy, .Yo greater art than this ran nzan employ To make a work of beauty well worth while, .ind hide 'neath lovely touches deft and true, All signs of anxious, weary toil from view. She wakes from sleep as one who has not slept To smooth the pillows of her patienfs bed, Her voice eoneeals her seerel thoughts of dread She only knows the vigil she has kept. Grim duty, by her art is robed in grace, .elnd something lovely defhs the eanzmon place. She'd eonnt it failure should her patient guess That she is worried, over tired and faint, Or hear from her one whisper of eonzplaint. The trne nurse must not show her own distress, The tveoriness her spirit often feels. She tails as one who does not toil for hire, Does ugly services in a queenly way As one who asks but gratitude for pay. She leeeps her post but never seems to tire, She loves her worh, yet such the art thereof She males it a ,lorians work of late. i -M.
