National Hospital Day On Thursday Florence Nightingale Birthday Observed National hospital day is observi ed on May 12 because that is the) | birthday of Florence Nightingale, 1 the woman who gave meaning to j hospitals, according to Miss Leona | Adam, president of the Indiana state nurses’ association. Her birthday has become the symbol j of nation wide recognition of hos-1 | pitals and the important part they | play in maintaining the health of I the nation. “Her family opposed her desire! to study nursing until she was 31,” Miss Adam said, “when she took three months training at Kaiserwerth hospital in Germany, an unprecedented step for a young woman of wealth in those days. She | visited hospitals in Europe and England and saw at first hand the needs for improvement, took charge of a private nursing home in London for a while. "During the Crimean War in 1 1854, practically singlehandedly. l she established and commanded she British army’s first modern nurses group. She set up laundries and kitchens and a sanitary engineering works, provided supplies ! of all kinds for patients and nurses. [ good equipment for a laboratory, and was instrumental in establish-! ing an army medical school. Her untiring energy reduced the death rate of the British army from 40 percent to 2.2 percent. "The British presented her with a large sum of money which she used to establish a modern training school in England, to train! nurses who could go to other hospi-; tals and training still more nurses so that modern nursing care as it; was then known could be available i , to all,” Miss Adam continued. "The first tangible results of the Nightingale system of nursing education in this country were achiev-, ed just 75 years ago with the estab-1 lishment of three schools of nursing based on her system. “Florence Nightingale’s theories on nursing were 'essentially that nursing is a profession and that nurses should be well educated and well prepared for it. Her efforts were among the first to remove nursing from the morass of poverty and ignorance, to elevate nursing service to its present professional stature,” Miss Adam said. “And : hospitals recognize the debt they j owe to her and her methods.” Trade in a Good Town — Decatut j PROUD moment/ The youngileri are graduating- io lei them Leow you're proud of them We hove Hollmorlr Cordl for CroduoKoe that will lay |U«I what you want to »cy ■ | the way you wont to toy A.

’ Coal-To-Oil Plants Dedicated Sunday Convert Oil Shale At Competing Price ( Louisiana, Mo.. May 9—(UP)— Secretary of interior Julius A. Krug says that liquid fuels can now be made from oil shale at prices that compete with pil from wells. He also said that the fuels can be made from coal at a price only slightly above regular oil prices. Krug made his announcement in a speech dedicating the nation’s first coal-to-oil demonstration plants here yesterday. The hydrogenation and gas synthesis plants were built by the bureau of mines at a cost of $15,000,000. He said the plants demonstrated that the “vast oil shale and coal deposits of the nation can now be accepted as part of our liquid fuel i reserve, tjtus enormously expandj ing our known reserves of liquid fuels.” The synthetic oil program, he said, would be of great importance to the national defense if Ameri-

ca's sources of foreign oil were cut oft in wartime.

Army engineers are making a nationwide survey to determine the availability and location of raw materials for more fuel plants. But. he said, it is “tremendously important” that the government construct "at least one or two full scale, commercial size plants” to complete the experimental project. He also predicted that "this new fuel industry will open many western areas for developments such as those xiow going forward with water power in the Tennessee Valley and those contemplated for the Columbia river basin.” Hollywood Observes Its 40th Birthday Hollywood, May 9 — (UP) — Hollywood's gigantic movie industry, which started in a Chinese laundry, celebrated its 40th birthday today. The picture which touched off the beginning of the multi-mjllion dollar business was “In The Power of The Sultan,” filmed May 8 and 9, 1909, with the late Hobart Bosworth starring.
