Photographs will be one of the most fertile agencies of reminis cence and a collection, .of pictures has recently been received in Portland showing some of the "first sons" in poses that illustrate how thoroughly the military training of the Second Camp went in its various ramifications. Sons who hadn't dried the dinner dishes at home "since' Hector was a pup" were phptographed doing kitchen police. scouring pans &nd . otherwise doing "hard labor." A photograph Just received by Mrs. Robert McMurray, 175 North Twenty fourth 'street, shows Mr. McMurray and a group of other candidates .at the camp, , in the attire of Army cooks. Mr. McMurray. who- is a son of Mr. and Mrs. William McMurray, of Portland, wrote' that the embryonic Lieutenants and Captains "hardly look the part of officers" when doing kitchen police. Along with five others Mr. McMurray was detailed as cook for several days and the photograph he sent home indi cated that the lot was a happy one. The men performed the tasks with fine .grace, he wrote, "realizing what the basic principle meant." Another photograph shows Mr. Mc Murray, Frank Korell, ex-candidate for the State Legislature, and a Mr. Starr, a friend of Mr. McMurray's father, "at rest" after drilling. It is much in con trast, but is one likely to call up fond recollections In years to come. Another photograph showing the men making the best of a bad lot is that received from MaeCormae Snow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Zera Snow. In some way not accounted for, the day's ration had been upset while the men were on a hike. Resorting to the most primitive of eating equipment, the men used their fingers and reclaimed enough from tha ground to sustain them for the remain der of the march. Numerous other photograph show the men getting military training in its various forms and remove considerable of the glitter and gleam that character izes the public conception of official military life. ART CIRCLES STILL STIRRED OVER INCIDENT OF DR. MUCK AND "STAR-SPANGLED BANNER' Abolition of German Opera Would Be Great Opportunity for French School If Representatives Were More Reasonable in Their Demands Americans Chided for Lack of Patriotism in View of Denouement. BT EMILIE FRANCES BAUER. NEW YORK, Nov. 24. (Special.) No subject since war has been declared has seemed to create so much excitement as the question, of "The Star-Spangled Banner." First, the public was confronted with Dr. Muck's reported attitude, which brought In Its wake tha cancellation ' of the Baltimore Boston Symphony concert. comply with the insistence of the pub lic, but because the Southern city felt that his presence was not compatible with its sense of patriotism. Carnegie Hall was a tense place on Thursday night, when curiosity seemed to be the dominant note, although it had already been announced that in all other cities lying along the line of travel "The Star-Spangled Banner" had opened Dr. I Muck's programme. True, the eminent This waa not because he refused to conductor offered bis resignation to Major Hlgginson before yielding to the pressure, and, naturally enough, tak ing into consideration the devotion shown Dr. Muck by the great music patron who has made the Bos ton Symphony Orchestra possible, said resignation waa not accepted, at least not before this series of concerts. It is not unlikely that the hurrah about playing the American National anthem, and the tendering of his resig nation before playing it waa necessary to Dr. Muck in order to preserve his standing in his own country. . Surely. no one better than Dr. Muck should know that when "The Star-Spangled Banner Is offered as a number on any programme it has no relation to art or to the over-worked word "culture. It is there in its pristine elements, just as it sprang into being. It does not suffer from juxtaposition with Brahms, Beethoven, Berlioz or anybody else, be cause it has no relation to anything else, and the excuse of any conductor that It is not artistically fit to be on a symphony programme is a ruse un worthy of any intelligent being. That a conductor, particularly a German, should set forth this point of view at this time is within comprehension, but that any concert-goers should reveal themselves snobs to that extent is an insult to the flag. Much nonsense is written and spoken in relation to music and art in normal times, but the drivel (Concluded oa Pass 4.) VICISSITUDES OF HOSPITAL LIFE - ARE DESCRIBED BY NURSE Great Range Seen in Patients With Varying Degrees of Interest Little Boy Brings Tin Gun to Shoot Nurse He Didn't Like. BY EDITH E.

In trying to snatch it out she burnt both her hands badly, poor thing. She comes up every day to have her wounds dressed.

It would seem rather foolieh to have to take an extra day orr from real nursing to answer questions on nurs ing. The matron of the inrirmary la rather amused at my endeavors to mingle theory with - practice. I was greatly honored last week Dy being invited to assist the house sur geon at an operation (for . hernia) whilst the staff nurse gave the anesthetic I got on all right and did not suffer much from stage fright. To tell the truth I felt somewhat impor tant as "the leading lady," profes sionally arrayed in a sterilized gown and cap and boiled rubber gloves. It is a mighty lucky V. A. D. that ever gets such an opportunity. Am glad to say our patient is doing well. The house surgeon very politely thanked me for my assistance after wards. We are as busy as ever at the hospital. I am usually with the out patients and get very fond of them. Burns seem to have been our specialty this last week. One girl scalded her arm so badly by 'upsetting a pan of boiling water over it that we had to use wax to coat the wounds where the outer skin bad been destroyed. Poor girl, the dressing was very painful, but she recovered afterwards enough to smile at nurse and me and offer us some chocolates. As chocolates are as scarce as straw berries in December, we accepted them as a form of curio. A woman leaned down to rake some cinders from under her kitchen grate. She had a celluloid comb In her hair, which promptly burst Into flames and One poor mother dressed in black comes up every day to have her burned hands dressed and bandaged. She Is very sad because her little girl was burned to death. She got hurt trying to extinguish the flames. Her husband is a soldier at the front. The poor child was unfortunately dressed in a nightie made of that inflammable stuff, flannelette. She was all ready for bed and sitting on her little chair near the kitchen fire reading a story. Her mother heard a scream and rushed In to find her "just a pillar of fire, nurse." She was too late to save the child. The unhappy mother told me with tears in her eyes that It was the first time this year that her little girl had worn a flannelette nightgown. "You see, nurse. I thought there might be an air raid and the little thing would take cold if I took her up out of her warm bed in a thin nightgown " The pity of it. We have our usual assortment of missing fingertips, a boy who tells me, "another boy"s clogs hit me in the face" and a variety of oddB and ends in the way of wounds. One boy with a baJl Injured face and, ear loudly proclaimed the fact that he was going to have the Red Cross nurse and no other, "Because she doesn't hurt." Foar-Year-Old Wonld Shoot Kane, I felt uncommonly flattered, especial ly when his admiring aunt informed me that he had brought a gun to shoot the other nurse If she Interfered. Nurse did laugh. This enterprising; youth is about 4 year old. His little . tin . sun waa very: awe- inspiring, but I gave him distinctly to understand that I was not afraid of guns or soldiers. They all eeem to look upon my big red cross as a sign, of honor. The big negro from the West Indies is an out-patient now. - He is very huge but very docile, and does just as nurse tells him. Then, alas, I have a lady whose husband hit her. She has a very bad black eye, but1 I re frained from inquiring into the family row. She looks as if she might be a, bit provoking at times. One can cer tainly, get plenty, of . experience and plenty of work amongst the out-patients. I like them immensely. Oat-Patlents umeroua. We often have 40 or 50 of them waiting their turns and we work lik mad to get them all done. Our hands get awfully sore with being scrubbed up bo often between cases,' and in and out of so many lotions. . We cannot have glycerine now because It is all used for munitions. No civil hospital is allowed any and the military hos pitals get very little. Nurses' hands, of course, get none. Nothing else seems as good. I got a lotion made up the other day to soften my hands, went out of the shop and promptly dropped tho bottle on the pavement. As It was all wrapped up I took it In and asked the druggist to try and save some of it and strain Into another bottle. He did so, quite successfully, out asked mo facetiously If I had been trying to soften the pavement. I usually wear rubber "gloves myself when I am doing such a lot of differ ent dressings, though they are not quite so easy to bandage In. It lessens the danger of septic poisoning. One morning as I arrived at the hos pital they were carrying in a flying officer who had fallen from his plane, and when I left that morning they were carrying in a bad concussion case a street accident. Variety Is Recompense'. The other nur,se lr the out-oatlent department is always remarking: "Well, we may be busy, but we do see lire down here. A benevolent scout boy sometimes rushes us down a cup of coffee or tea each, which wo hasten to drink before any genus get. in it (or the matron sees it). when I am not busy downstairs I am often helping sister or the staff nurse with the big dressings or ara playing a minor role In the theater. 1 can well remember the kindness (Concluded on Pace IL)
