TELLS OF VISIT TO THE COMMONS Describes Winnetka's Work at Chicago Commons In- fant Welfare Station SAVING THE BABIES Give Helping Hand to For- eign Mothers BY THE VISITOR In the heart of the west side slums of Chicago is a settlement House which radiates good cheer and fellow- ship and helpfulness in time of 'need, called the "Chicago Commons," and it is under this auspicious roof that the clinics of the Winnetka Branch of the Infant Welfare society are held. Some of the stations of the so- ciety are in schools and park bnild- ings. We are glad Winnetka's stat- ion is just where it is. Interesting Groups The room that is loaned us is large, large enough for several centers of activity. Several centers are apt to form when such varied family groups are waiting their turn to consult the kindly nurse and omniscient physi- cian. One group forms around the table where the children are undress~ ed and where one watches with in- terest the extraordinary wrappings of these very new young Americans, and another around the next table where the baby is weighed and measured and the results registered on his own particular card of our catalogue. Here you will always find a fellow Winnetkan officiating faithfully. From her amateur hands the baby passes to the professional. Miss Chal- man, ows nurse, is young, with fresh, clear skin and sunny face and friend- ly manner that wins the confidence of even a wary, suspicious immigrant mother. The Omniscient Doctor Of course, the most important fig- ure in the room is Dr. Chase, small, spare and keen of visage. Keen of memory, too, is our doctor. He seems to have no need of the card catalogue which we keep carefully. He can be- gin talking to each mother just where he left off, even when he first has to take her to task for having the con- versational interval a long one. Assured Right to Live. On an average there are about eighteen children examined at a con- ference and every one present a par- ticular problem in trying to assure him the first of those inaliengble rights of the Declaration of Indepénd- ence, the right to live. . Almost any week you will see Angelina , a twelve vear old Italian girl, oldest of tere in nerformance of her duties as a little mother. Her two-old brother is:al- ways clinging to her skirts, and in her arms is a three months old baby; pne week a girl, the next a boy, for the last visit of the stork to Angelina's mother brought twins. They are thriving under the supervisibn 'the station affords them for Angelina is very careful in following instructions as to American ways of up-bringing, though she has been careful, too; to have the little sister's ears pierced against the time of her adornment, and both babies are equipped with lovely amulets never removed from their plump little chests. ! Less happy to contemplate is an- other regular visitor with a child who can barely toddle beside her, one: on her arms, another one coming, and her husband in the Bridewell. We are relieved to turn from her burdens to hear the equally insoluble but Jess poignant anxiety of the beautiful Teresa. She has a little girl ten months old and another baby coming in three months, and it is most im. portant that this one be a boy as her husband has had three wives and never yet a son. It costs Winnetka $6,000 a year to support this station. More of its ac- tivities will be described in next og issue of the Winnetka Weekly talk. 4 Henry M. Hale Visits Son at Georgia Tech Henry M. Hale, president of ithe Winnetka State Bank, is visiting + his son Capt. Fraser Hale, military in- structor in Aeronautics at Georgia Tech, Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Hale is expected back in the village sometime next week.
