Two of the bears had been transferred. One of the two re- maining was sick, and it was decided to ‘leave this bear in the large cage.

Surgeon General Rixey Favors Its Establishment for the United States Navy. The first annual report of Surgeon General Rixey shows that the health of the navy and marine corps was good throughout the last fiscal year, the percentage of sick and the death rate being lower than for several years. The most important recommendation of the report perhaps is that congress provide for the establishment of a _woman's.nurse_corps for the naryto consist of one superintendent, eight head nurses, 16 first-class and 24 see- ond-classs nurses, these numbers to be increased at the discretion of the sec retary. The surgeon general says: “That women are the superiors of men for the work of nursing there can be no question, and the objection that they are not compatible with military eonditions can scarcely apply to insti- tutions of the character of our large paval hospitals.” The surgeon general also makes a strong plea for the appointment of dentists for the navy, pointing out that many otherwise good recruits for the service are lost for lack of dental care.
