POOR IMITATION OF REAL THING Remember, that the average state hospital attendant, as far ag Wash f ts concerned, is just a low ¥ mubstitute for the trained graduate nurse, or in other words, a imitation of the real thing. ever, the people of the state are getting just what they are pay ei ‘Ing for, as far as state hospitals are!

AUTOMOBILE BOUGHT INSTEAD In the interest of economy the legislature appropriated $10,000 to buy the governor an automobile, tn- stead. ‘The 12-hour day Is a relic of the past. And the Good Book says “six days shalt thou labor.” Evidently this was not intended for the benefit of nurses and attendants employed in wards of the Washington state hospitals. We must go to our fed eral hospitals, or asylums located in other states, for that. If asylum attendants don’t like conditions they quit. But the patients cannot quit.
