February 13, 1926 WINNETKA TALK DR. BROWN IN MIDST OF CHINESE WARFARE (Continued from Page 16) six. Mr. Roger Green last night asked for a continuance of help until Jan- uary 18, The Chinese students in the medical school of the third and fourth year are helping. One unit is composed of Chinese women doctors and nurses. They are valiantly carrying on as well as many other Chinese surgeons and nurses. This is a new experience for them, and they cannot meet with the organizing efficiency of the American, but you are suprised, that in a little time everything required is there. At first there was nothing but emply barracks with low or high kangs on which they sleep. Straw came, quilts, stoves, coal, lamps, food, etc. Bathing is impossible, It is rather shocking after more than two weeks to have them so dirty, there are c ases of small-pox and typhus among them, for the latter's inhibition we are glad for cold weather. To prevent us from becoming in- fected with the louse, we put on louse- proof suits, in which we work. They open at the neck. We draw them up, tying them around the feet, waists, wrists, and necks. Also, we wear a white covering over our heads. These suits are made of blue coolie cloth, and we are a funny looking lot clothed in them. Endless War If this sacrifice of human life would bring about peace, one could look upon it with less horror, but it seems to accomplish nothing and recurs yearly in China. The young China is alert and in time conditions will be different, when they can have a unified government. Because of the anti- Christian agitation the government gave all the Christian schools police protection. I read in yesterday's paper that the students of Ginling college where Emily Case is teaching, all went on strike against the Christian educa- tion, and have gone "en masse" to the South Eastern university at Nanking. Yet, through it all, we live day by day. I am more comfortable this win- ter than I have been since I left my home in 1917. 3ecause I helped out in the fall, when the hotel moved from Liang Kuo Chang--which was a Chinese house-- into these foreign buildings, with va- por heat, hot and cold water, showers and all the modern conveniences, with two large dormitories, each accom- modating 54 students, I am at present occupying the hostess' suite in the East building, with a sitting room, Pearl Sale Now in Progress 20% DISCOUNT On All Pearls The Pearl The unsurpassable beauty of well matched pearls make them the ideal ornament. Every woman who owns a Pearl Necklace val- ues it not only as an article of adornment, but as her most cher- ished treasure.
