A nurse must be a keen observer to detect sudden changes in the patient’s condition: must be cautious in admin- istering medicine and skillful in dress | ing wounds and performing other nec- essary functions in & sick room.

Of the Belgian provinces, Brabant, ! Flanders and Liege display two colors, yellow and black. or red and yellow Hainaut and Namur have three, vel- low, black and red. The lion. also, | which appears on Belgium's coat of | arms and royal standard. is derived | from the feudal traditions and history | of all the provinces. A sable lion on | a gold shield is known to have been | used by Flanders before 1117. The golden shields of Brabant, Hainaut and Namur all carried lions of the | me color, while Limburg's lion was red on a silver shield. Many Belgian cities adopted similar colors and em- blems. When the -revolution-which resulted | in the final separation of Belgium from the Netherlands was inaugurated in Brussels, August 25, 1830, the I'rench tricolor was first displayed from the balcony of the city hall, but it was soon removed and the old fed- | eration flag substituted by earnest citizens who' wished to see Belgium ; governed by Belgians. Later in the | same year the national congress also restored the ancient symbol of the lion. Tn the first tricolor the Mri[ws! were horizontal, but in spite of tra- dition and even a constitutional regu lation, usage made them vertical. like ihe army regimental flags. It was which gave black the | place of honor. and makes the order of colors black-yellow-red, not red-yellow- black. In the majority of the coats of arms of the provinces, red appears only. as the color of the tongue and claws of the black lion. Il Black meant force, in the symbolism of the middle ages, when these colors were first adopted in Belgium's feudal states. - Red signified victory through bravery and sacrifice, and-gold that maturity which brings wisdom and riches. Gold and red together typified prudence, and black and yellow meant constancy. ‘The Belglnn flag will be displayed’ o | Has Won Favor {in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls from the embassy flagstaff. 1780 Mas- chusetts avenue, on King Albert's | birthday, April 8, and on the nation- | al day.
