Trained Nurse Field Crowded; Many Struggle for Living

! By Science Service NEW YORK, March 4. Too many trained nurses in the country and large numbers of sick persons going without nursing care is the surprising condition revealed in a survey of the situation reported by Dr. May Ayres Burgess to the American Nurses’ Association, just made public here in the association’s official organ, the American Journal of Nursing. In Maine, for example, Dr. Burgess found that the average nurse can not expect more than 215 days of employment in any given year. Three hundred days of emi ployment a year is considered a i reasonable average, but the survey shows that this is out of the question for the trained nurse in many states. “Mass production of nurses brings neither better nor cheaper nursing service,” commented Janet M.

Geister, director at the headquarters of the association. Mi6s Geister explained that it is partly poor distribution of nurses and partly the fact that nurses have not been trained to care for particular types of illness that is responsible so: a situation in which many patients lack nursing care while many nurses are having a hard struggle to make a living. She said that the nurse’s income now is at a dangerous minimum, and she can not reduce. her fees and still live. “To remedy these situations, nursing schools must give more thought to the product they are turning out, and less to the incidental service the student nurse gives the hospital," MiSs Geister declared. Asa result of Dr. Burgess’ survey. nursing leaders are considering a campaign to reduce the number of students of nursing as well as to redistribute and re-educate those already registered for service.

BANKHEAD SEAT IN SENATE HELD WONJHRAUD Probers Uphold Contest of Heflin on Alabama Election. By United Press WASHINGTON, March 4.—Recommendation that the senate seat of John H. Bankhead (Dem., Ala.) be declared vacant was made today in a report to a senate investigating committee. Senator Daniel O. Hastings (Rep., Del.), chairman of a subcommittee of the privileges and elections com-

'mittee, reported the results of his investigation o f the contest filed by J. Thomas Heflin, who was defeated in 1930 by Bankhead. Heflin charged fraud. The subcommittee heard arguments by opposing counsel and arranged for oral testimony on both sides to be taken in Alabama. The

Bankhead

Hastings report, represents conclusions drawn from this evidence. In it he said: “I realize that it is a serious matter for the United States senate to declare that there was no election in Alabama in 1930. I do not see, however, how it can be avoided without approving the shocking facts disclosed by this record.” Hastings’ report must be approved by both subcommittee and full committee before it is submitted to the senate. If that body concurs, Bankhead’s seat automatically will become vacant and anew election must be held. The' chairman submitted conclusions on twenty-five points which

STARS STARTED TO FAME BY HOWARD Ethel Clayton, Nan Halperin, Sophie Tucker, Began Climb to Fame in Song Writer’s Vehicles for Stage. JOSEPH E. HOWARD will be back at the Lyric Saturday and with the reappearance of the composer-author-producer, one recalls the list of present-day stars who were projected along the road to fame by Joseph E. Howard vehicles. There is the now illustrious John Barrymore, for instance. The youngest of the Barrymores essayed his first, last and only musical comedy appearance in an operetta written by Howard called “‘The Stubborn Cinderella.” When one of the screen’s greatest present favorites told that he would have to sing, he threatened to withdraw, but remained in the

cast upon being allowed to “talk” his songs. He did them, of course, , with great success. Ethel Clayton, too, started in one of Howard's works. It was called “Fiddle Dee Dee” and was produced away back in 1905. In those days the fair Ethel was a member of the merry merry and never could seem to wear her spangled tights without getting them twisted or torn or wrinkled. But Ethel Clayton wasn’t doomed to be bothered with tights for long. he believed were justified by the evidence taken. Among them were: The Democratic primary in Alabama in 1930 was illegal. Bankhead did not attempt “to weaken or evade the illegal action taken by the Democratic executive committee in fixing the qualifications of candidates at the primary." His expense statement for the primary did not comply with Alabama law and under that law he was not entitled to have his name placed on the ticket. About 36,905 illegal votes, or 15.2 per cent of the total vote, were cast, or 84 per cent of the total, 187,673 ballots, were not numbered ai directed by Alabama law. Other rules regarding treatment of ballots were violated by election officers. Further irregularities were noted by Hastings in the matter of ballot boxes and seals, election lists, ballots marked before they reached the voter, soliciting of absentee ballots and payment of poll taxes for other persons.

She soon graduated into the star class. Nan Halperin, an RKO headliner, made one of her first big hits in Howard's “Broadway Honeymoon” and proceeded thence to the name-in-electric - lights’ classification. Rubber-boned Carl Randall, who has also headlining over the RKO circuit wjth his wife, Virginia Watson, was another whose early fame was partially built in “Broadway Honeymoon." The inimitable Sophie Tucker, who says of herself that she’s the last of the red hot mammas, made her first musical comedy appearance as an unknown young blues singer in a piece called “Louisiana Lou,” also composed and written by the same Howard. What Sophie lias done since is theatrical history. Harry Pilcer, vaudeville and picture star, and Adele Rowland, a musical comedy headliner and picture star, both made their debut in Howard’s operetta, “The Flirting Princess.” A1 Shean, of the famous Gallagher and Shean, flr?t essayed the stage in “His Highness, the Bey.” Bernard Granville also first appeared in musical pieces in “Louisiana Lou.” Cecil Lean and Florence Holbrook first came into theatrical prominence in Howard's “The Time, the Place and the Girl.” Five other acts of RKO vaudeville augment the headliner act on the stage program. George O'Brien is the star of the feature picture, “The Gay Caballero,” which is the major screen event of next week’s show.

PAVING SETUP CALLED UNFAIR TO JILACKTOP Asphalt Promoter Alleges State Specifications Favor Concrete. Charge that “ah unfair setup tor concrete” is the real cause of delay in signing contracts for having state Road 37, from Madison to Versailles. was made today by Otto Keeler, Kentucky rock asphalt promoter. Keeler declared that in The Times story of Wednesday the figures showing his product as highest priced per mile were "unfair” in that the black-top specifications called for twenty-foot pavement and concrete, eighteen-foot. It is this-difference in width of which Keeler complains. On the eighteen-foot basis the Kentucky rock asphalt bid would be lower than the concrete, he asserts, although higher than the bituminous retread. The latter Keeler terms a “secondary type” and declares a first grade road only can be had by the use of his product over the present macadam foundation, or by tearing out the base and rebuilding with concrete. Keeler also asserts his proposal is the best for the state In saving the base and providing a first rate road and that Chairman Albert J. Wedeking of the state highway commission should be applauded for fighting for it. Explanation of the differing widths was based on federal requirements by William H. Titus, chief engineer of the state highway commission. He said that black-top paving must be wider, since it thins out on the edges, while concrete paving is the thickest there. The concrete job also provides for a gravel shoulder, which isn’t included In the black-top specifications, he pointed out.
