PEDESTRIAN NEEDS SOME REGULATION Drivers of motor vehicles should not be held responsible for the majority of the 633 deaths properly credited to mo- tor vehicles in 1923 according to the ac- cident prevention department of the Chicago Motor club. The records of this department of the club show that 82 drivers of the 633 vehicles involved in fatalities were held to grand jury. Thirty-six drivers were unknown, and the remainder, 515 drivers, were exon- erated by the corner's jury. The statement says: "We don't know how many of the 82 drivers held to the grand jury will have indictments against them. We assume that the 36 unknown drivers were guilty, and it follows that not to exceed 118 drivers of motor ve- hicles of all classes were each directly responsible for a death in 1923. Two hundred ninety-six persons were killed in the middle of the block, and although the law says they had a right to cross there, still it may be assumed that if they had crossed at street inter- sections, many of these fatalities would not have occurred. If the pedestrian were regulated, there would be fewer accidents." a _ Dr. Brown Braves Faces Sickness and Pesti- lence to Bring Health to Chinese Editor's note: The hame of Dr. Alice Barlow-Brown never fails to strike a warm glow in the hearts of Winnetk&ns. Dr. Brown, as many citizens know, is now" doing a splen- did work in a hospital at Wuchang. China, a locality in the interior of that vast country where civilization is still at the pioneer stage. Dr. Brown was engaged in relief work in France during the World war and later, when hostilities ceased, achieved distinction for her medical services among the refugees of war- torn Serbia. Returning to America for a brief time, she again set out up- on a service abroad, this time going to China. Recently Christ church contributed a generous sum, as a special appropriation, toward the ad- vancement of Dr. Brown's work in the Orient, the nature of which is effec- tively described in the accompanying letter. ¥ Women's Dept. of The Chuch Gen- eral Hospital, American Church Mis- sion, Wuchang, China. Dec. 1923. Dear Mus ie. ies vinx sisiniss I have been so busy since 1 wrote you last, that time in which to write would have been taken from my sleep--until today when I am laid up with a wretched cold so have leisure in which to write again. The climate in China is quite dif- ferent from other countries--I thought I would be prepared for it by my winters spent in France and Serbia; but I suppose the intense heat of the summer so reduces one's blood that it takes a long time to work up a resistance to this damp climate. The temperature has not reached the freezing point yet, but last Monday morning on making my rounds in the hospital I t ought mv blood would congeal in 17 veins I was so cold. The hospital Ts not heated except with stoves in the wards and these had not been started because of no coal, and no money with which to buy it. Of course the patients in their beds keep warm wrapped in their blankets and "haywos" (these are heavily padded ~otton comforts about four inches thick). Then they wear a cotton pad- ded jacket in addition. I debated whether 1 could stand the cold al- though I was wearing two woolen, knit dresses over my woolen under- wear with two pairs of woolen stock- ings, finally I decided we must have coal. And now that the stoves are started the wards are more livable, although the cold floors give the nurses chilblains. Most of the Chinese houses are unheated althouch some of them have a little heat. The cold in winter and the heat in summer, the missionaries find hard to endure. They have undertaken a definite piece of work and in a strange land for the advancement of Christ's kingdom. Surely the Commandment "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"'--is a hard one, especially in the missionary field. Interesting Patients Our hospital is running full--averag- ing 75 patients--most of them very interesting. I am deeply interested in the work but realize its limitations because of lack of funds. This city is over 4000 years old, very dirty and in great need of modern sanitation. We must be constantly on the lookout to keep from being con- taminated. Children play on the dirty floors--use = the streets for toilets. Dogs and cats run wild and look mangy. Every child has worms of different varieties. A baby of five months was brought to the clinic from the country; the mother had tropical ulcers on her legs-- a common complaint among the working classes--the baby looked bloodless, on examining 'his blood, it was only a faintish pink color, hemo- olobin was 15 per cent. What was the reason? After examining the stools I fornd an unusual ova, seldom found in China but oftener in Ceylon; its habitat--dogs, cats, and through them to man. The treatment of eradication was quite drastic for a "wee babe"'-- but I gave it and watched him closely --found_a. worm of which IT made a slide. Now the youngster is making hlood. Resides this the child has malaria for which he is receiving qui- nine hypodermically. Guard Against Malaria For every patient entered we make a routine blood examination for ma- laria and examination of feces for worms, it makes the laboratory work cuite heavy. T am doing some special work with my tubercular patients on *he third floor--from which I am hav- 'no oood results. There are a number of Amarican families here most of them come from New England or New York and Phila- delnhia, Tam sendino you the account of Miss Sharp and Miss Darrochs life wnder the bandits as it was printed in the Central China Post which is the daily paper printed in Hankow. Will vou send me the Evening Post ¥rid>v Rook Reviews send them every two weeks as that is when the mail Rigors of Climate to Serve Orientals "wm comes. I am receiving HE TaLk" from the omice s0 you neeu not send that. Thank you for those sent and for the blotters. Today I wrote to Emily Case and asked her to spend Christmas with me, but she may have made other plans. Mrs. Chapman the daughter of Dr. Gaucher of Baltimore told me that! Emily is doing splendid work at Gin-, ling College. Mrs. C.... went to the dedication of the new college build- ings. : Our Woman's Doctors House--which: is a gift from the Woman's Auxiliary, of Pittsburgh given in memory of Mrs.' Ormsby Phillips is having a furnace, installed, so we hope soon to have a warm spot to stay although we only, have time to go there to meals and inj the evenings--and coal is high. i 1 have been studying Chinese with' a teacher from one to two hours a day it is very hard but 1 have made a little] progress. I find it very hard indeed to depend upon an interpreter, there: is so much I want to explain. 4 Well Worth While : The work is well worth while. The Chinese are active in modern, educa-. tional methods, they are building good, schools--co-education has begun--not altogether for the best--but that is to be expected when the pendulum' swings from conservatism to freedom. There is still too much graft or "squeeze" as they call it, everyone does it--your cook, your boy, your coolie-- all try to make a few pennies from you. It has been a wonderful country and it will be again when the political situation is stabilized. They are good farmers--we get green vege- tables all the time--tomatoes, beans, spinnach, cabbage and onions. Oranges and apples come from the States and tangerines are plentiful. Up to the present time we have en- 'oved pumalo which is like grapefruit, but thicker skinned and tougher. We have meats, chicken," pheasant and lamb occasionally, so you see we fare very well indeed. The pharmacist, Miss Carr, lives with me in the doctor's house. We have a good cook who has been with Dr. James for several years, a boy, and an amah (a woman who has been a child's nurse) she was not well so we are taking care of her. She does our mending and washes our small things. We both are so busy we have no time for any personal duty. Then too, there is a standard that must be maintained or one loses caste with the Chinese. Our expenses for two are higher on the average than for six but we have a quieter household. 2 With loving remembrances to all Your friend, Dr. Alice Barlow Brown. CALL THIRD SESSION OF TOWNSHIP VOTERS A third meeting of citizens interested in township affairs and the possible en- dorsement of a slate in opposition to the candidates recently endorsed by the New Trier Citizens league are sched- uled for this evening at the Wilmette Village hall. Twg meetings have been held, the first on Mbnday evening February 25, and the second on Monday evening, March 3. A |tentative ticket was selected this week, (it was said, but the group of citi- zens decided to defer definite action until this evening in the hope that a thoroughly representative group of citi- zens from every village in the township would! be at hand to participate in the discussion of township affairs particular- ly with reference to the approaching election. As inferred at the two mass meetings, there is considerable dissatisfaction with the manner in which the Citizen league endorsements were effected. The candi- dates, it was pointed out, were endorsed at a meeting held in Chicago which most interested residents of the town- ship were unable to attend because of business responsibilities. New Trier Hi-Y to Hear Northwestern U. Leader Dean Hopkins of Northwestern uni- versity will address the Hi-Y club of New Trier High school Thursday, March 13. His subject will be, "Choos- ing a Vocation." There will be a general discussion following the address. The Hi-Y club is the high school unit of the Y. M. C. A. and is one of the most active organizations at the local secondary school. WATCH THE COLDS Regarding an illness as "only a cold" has filled many a grave at an untimely season. Pneumonia, diphtheria, whoop- ing cough and other dangerous diseases in the beginning may manifest them-~ selves as a cold or, on the other hand, a cold may be the pathway along Which these more deadly infections travel. SEVENTEEN CLUB DANCE The Seventeen club of Winnetka and Glencoe is to give a dance atthe Winnetka -Masonic temple Saturday evening, March 15. The Vacabond dance orchestra will provide the music. |
