"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

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

Numerous other photograph show
the men getting military training in its
various forms and remove considerable
of the glitter and gleam that character

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

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

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.

a little by attending lectures on

it out she burnt both her hands badly,

to have her wounds dressed. She told

to find that I had 11 pages to write in
answer to the questions given us last
week.
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.
