It will resemble, rather, a delicate pat- tering, for ranks of the gobblers have been thinned at least 30 per cent this year, and average weights Wwill be lower than in previous sea- ns.

D.,_ Nov. 1—(AP)— Student nurses in North Dakota hos- pitals are having a better time of it now than formerly was the case, ac- cording to Sister M. Gilbert of St. John’s hospital, state inspector of schools for nurses. “During the last year the general trend of nursing education has been dial tle reported Sister Gil- rt. ‘The conditions as to hours, living conditions and education work are improving. ‘Seven schools have caised their entrance requirements t> four years of high school with Sratitying Tu sults, The recruiting of students has been thus stimulated instead of retarded.” Sister Gilbert said that of 620 stu- dent nurses in the state 60 per cent are high school graduates, Fruit stains may be removed by sponging with lemon juice and then washing with hot’ water. If lemon is not available borax will be found 33 CANDIDATES END DRIVE FOR STATE OFFICES Shafer-Maddock Race Holds Voters’ Attention as Elec- tion Nears Thirty-three candidates for 16 state offices this week are on the home stretches of their campaigns.

Writ- | ing his parody last August, “Riddell” caused the plot of the fantasy to center about the date October 20. Miss Newman died October 22, and medical authorities said she appar- ently had taken the poison October 20—three days before. It has been clearly established that Miss Newman was aware of the! satire’s publication when, through either intent or inadvertence, she Poisoned herself. There has been no_ verification, however, of a report that a copy of the parody was found in her hotel | room with a black, penciled circle about the date October 20. Miss Newman had telephoned her own publishers to ask concerning the “Riddell” article, An outline of it was given her verbally, and a copy was ordered sent to her. Statement from “Riddell” From the offices of “Vanity Fair” came a statement attributed to “Rid- dell,” which said, in part: “I am terribly sorry and upset by this extremely unfortunate occur- rence. The parody was written two months ago. The magazine was on sale a week before Miss Newman's untimelyegeath.

Although the cost of preparing firkeys for market is comparatively small, raisers assert that their busi- ess involves much risk annually. ‘shere is usually a great deal of ter- litory for the average flock of 150 to roam, but here exists the dangcr that the bird may become wild. _Hunters often mistake domestic birds for wild game, thereby reduc- ing the flock.

On one occasion she went to Europe to avoid seeing what the critics said about a new novel. Her eyes had troubled her, and an operation had been ordered. She had lived in fear of losing the sight of one eye, friends said. Friends of Miss Newman haven't comment.
