Training Young Colored Women and Men in the Scientific
Care of the Sick
The modern hospitals where colored girls may take Nurse Training and
the colored medical graduate an internship, are few, and the medicine of
today demands that each patient shall be studied carefully, and to do this.
modern equipment is absolutely necessary.
Work of the Hospital
The work done by the Fort Dearborn Hospital in the past, and that
planned for the future is very high class, thoroughly scientific and ethical.
The average number of patients per day for the last twelve months is forty,
although at times when it was necessary to resort to extra beds and cots, it
ran as high as seventy. No emergency case has ever been turned away
when there was any possible means of taking care of it, and in most cases
first aid has been rendered before the patient was sent to an institution less
crowded. j
The death rate has been very low, especially if the extensive variety of
cases treated is considered. The number of operations performed was one
thousand two hundred and forty-two, charity or free work done averaged 20
per cent, and would be much more had we the facilities.
THE WOMAN'S FRIENDLY AID

TURNER
CHIPS
Mrs. David M. Manson returned
home Saturday evening from spending
the summer season at beautiful Idle
wild, Mich. The outing was very bene
ficial to her in every way, for she is
more than the picture of health and
she will continue to look ever so lovely
and sweet until it is time to return to
Idlewild in 1922. Mr. and Mrs. Manson
will continuo to occupy their quarters
at the Vinccnnes HoteL
Mrs. William C. Casey, 614 E. 46th
street, has returned to the city from
her summer vacation at Idlewild, Mich.,
and she will resume her duties as
teacher in the public schools for the
winter.
Mrs. Carrie Warner, 3S22 Calumet
Avenue, has arrived home from her
two weeks vacation trip to Idlewild,
Mich., where she greatly enjoyed her
self. Mrs. W. J. Meacham, 3414 Calumet
Avenue, continues to become more ac
tively interested in the great drive to
raise one hundred thousand dollars for
a Greater Fort Dearborn Hospital, and
she is also getting twenty of her lady
friends interested in the movement.
Salt and Dampness.
8alt Is what Is caled "hygrosco
pic, that is. It eagerly nbsorbs mois
ture. In fact, both air and salt are
absorbents of moisture and It Is a
contest between them ns to which
gets It Results depend on atmos
pheric conditions. Ordinary atmos
phere always contains a proportion
of moisture, and warm air Is apt to
be more humid than cold, as It ab
sorbs nnd holds water vapor more
readily than cold air. Salt has such
affinity for moisture that under such
conditions It draws It from the air.
When the air becomes dry. the mois
ture Is given up by the salt, which In
turn becomes dry as It returns the
moisture to the air.
Softeit Known Wood.
Trees belonging to the genus Jacara
tia, growing in tropical America, are
remarkable for their soft wood. After
part of the bark is cut away a machete
can be shoved to the center of the
trunk with ease. The wood, when
fresh, can be cut Into blocks with a
knife, as one would cut up parsnips
or turnips. As the wood dries, It
shrinks to a small fraction of its
original bulk.
Another Theory of the Flood.
Anew theory of the flood has bees
discovered In South Africa. Hydro
graphcrs Investigating the waterways
of Uganda have found lndicatiens that
Lak'e Victoria and other central Af
rican lakes were at one time vast
Inland seas, whldi a little excess of
rainfall would cause to overflow Into
the lands to the north. The discovery
of .primitive stone implements along
the old water levels prove these to
fcave been within the "human" period.
Few Insects Harmful to Man.
Relatively speaking, very few species
f Insects are harmful In any way to
Trmg aad his works. The Injurious
species amount to less than 1 per cent
of the whole! On the other hand, a

of many garden flowers and Important
fruits.
NEW ORLEANS IS THREATENED
WITH BACE EIOT.
New Orleans, La., Sept. 3. A race
riot of grave proportions threatened to
develop in Gretna, a suburb, late to
night as the climax of a scries of dis
turbances which started there this aft
ernoon in a clash between whites and
Negroes during a Negro ball game.
Police here were held ready to an
swer any call from Gretna, which is
across the river from the city proper.
The sheriff of Jefferson parish sent
every available deputy to Gretna with
orders to shoot to kill in the event that
mob violence was threatened, according
to reports.
One Negro is reported killed.
Shortly after 11 o'clock police lines
were formed about the two story frame
structure where the Negroes held an
indignation meeting. The building was
fired. All occupants escaped, accord
ing to information from police.
Spread of Bathing In Europe.
Bathing came to Europe as one of
the good results of the Crusades. Ths
Knights of the Cross found baths In
general use among the Saracens, and
seeing what good thing they were,
on returning from those wars took the
Initiative for their Introduction. In
this they were highly successful first
In England and from that to other
countries. So popular did the tmth be
come that It became customary to have
one before ceremonies such us mar
riage or knighthood, nnd the people
have been ever since learning the valoa
of keeping their skins clean.
Regiment Proud of Long Service.
The Third Infantry, the oldest regi
ment of our army, which dates from
1784, has developed Its arms to show
Its early service In Mexico. One In
teresting device usedy this regiment
Is a baton crossed with an oldtime
bayonet back of the shield. The ba
ton which figures prominently In the
regiment's history was made from the
flagstaff of the capltol of the City of
Mexico and was taktn when the city
was captured. It Is still one of the
most highly prized possessions of the
regiment.
Shell-Cracking Bird.
Certain species of birds which In
habit eastern Africa possess the largest
and strongest beaks known to ornithol
ogists. One of these Is the open-bill
or fchell Ibis. It Is a long-legged, stork
like bird, which has a beak like a nut
cracker. The parts of the bill cannot
be closed In the middle. It eats frogs
and fishes, but its favorite food Is
fresh water molluscs, the shells of
which It can crush with the powerful
beak.
Fundamental Business Principles.
From a purely coldblooded business
point of view, honesty Is the best pol
icy. To treat the other man as you
would have him treat you is nn equal
ly fundamental business principle.
This does not mean that you should
surrender your rights or neglect to
avail yourself of your opportunities.
It simply means that In the game of
business, the same rules of sportsman
ship should prevail as in a boxing bout.
In a match of golf, or in a football
game. John D. Itockefeller, Jr.
Force of Gravity.
Force of gravity varies according to
height above sea level and distance
from the equator. As the force of
gravity Is 32J612 feet a second to
New York, 32J52S feet a second In
San Francisco and 32.US4 In Key
West, an object would weigh most la
New York and least In Florida.
Had No Rights at AH.
Paul and Anthony own a wagon In
partnership. Sometimes Paul exerts
a little more authority than Is pleas
ing to Anthony. On one of ttiese oc
casions Anthony sought bis mother
and, after yeHmg his troubles, added:
"Mother, Paul treats me like the ugly
elsters treated ClndereuV'
Saw Value of Fortifications.
John Zlska, a famous leader of the
Hussite party In Bohemia, pained the
title of "fatheF of the modern "fist of
fortification." In 1420 he took up a
strong position neanPrague on an emi
nence since known as Zlskaberg, and
held IX with a few thousand men
against an army of S0.000.
English Poetry an8a Prose.
If there Is anything Inluteraturetas
wonderful as English poetry It Is Eng
lish prose. Like the twin pillars of a
mighty temnlestand those two "great
books, the Bible of 1011, the Shake
speare 011023, and no other eountry
can ahbw their equal. George Samp

The Nurses Connected
Electricity and Chinese Demons.
Word has come from Shanghai that
employes of the China Electric com
pany recently called In a native priest
to drive away the demon In nn elec
tric buzz saw which had cut off two
of the operator's fingers. After the
ceremony the workmen returned to
their tasks contentedly. The manager
of the plant felt that, despite the su
perstition displayed. thep Chinese
workmen were accepting electricity In
their own way. North American.
Her Probable Intention.
Wright had been sent to the bank
with his weekly amount, and when be
returned be did not have his book.
His mother asked him where It was.
After quite a little hesitation he con
fided to her In a whisper. "Well,
mother, the girl took It and kept it. I
think she wanted to weigh It."
Invaluable Coating for Tubes.
In 'the process of J. Marcusson. a
resinous coating Is given tubes or hol
low bodies of cement, concrete or mor
tar by action of formaldehyde on
phenols or other like compounds. The
coating gradually becomes insoluble on
exposure to nlr, nnd Is thus given re
sistance to the notion of mineral or
fatty oils.
The Water Spider.
A spider that lives under water
builds a nest of silk nmong weeds In
ponds nnd ditches, and fills the nest
with air. In that strange house It
lives nnd lays Its eggs. In autumn It
makes nnother nest, seals Itself In
side and sleeps until spring.
Noisy Ones, Please Read.
The ambition merely to attract pub
lic attention does not In itself make
for more happiness on the part of the
person concerned.
They Can Afford It.
Our guess Is that the only people
who laugh and grow fat are those who
don't have to work for their board.

Aveld Being Irritant.
Some folks are just plain Irritants,

them. Hut you surely don't like them.

touchy. But It ain't be helped they

And He Meant So Well.
I was escorting two girl friends
home from a dance one night, when we
noticed a wide-open window In a house
we were parsing. Thinking to avert a
possible burglary. I stuck my head in
side and shouted, "Say, good people "
But that was us far as I got. for a
bucketful of water struck me full In
the face and a furious female voice
shouted. "I told you what you'd get if
you didn't get home before ten 1" Chi

Flag Etiquette.
When the flag passes in a parade or
review, the spectator should. If walk
ing, halt; if sitting, arise, stand at
attention and salute. Civilians should
remove their hats, although women are
expected only to stand respectfully un
til the colors pass. All men In uni
form of any branch of the army and
navy are required to stand at attention
and salute until the colors have passed.
That's All the Difference.
Jud Tnnkins says an owl gets a
reputation for wisdom by saying noth
ing, while a parrot discloses his Ig
norance by being needlessly conversa-tlonal.

Old Buggy His Court.
A Judge of Livingston. N. J.. Is on
record as holding court from the seat
of an Md buggy. The case was that
of a tentint who had disregarded notice
to vacate property, so the buggy was
drawn up within a short distance of
the house In question and the trial pro
ceeded. St. Swlthln Myth Disproved.
A record was kept from 1840 for
twenty years for the purpose of testing
the truth of the popular belief that If
rain fell on St. Swlthin's day It would
rain for forty days after. The result
of this test shows that the greatest
number of rainy days had occurred In
these two decades in years when St.
Swlthin's day was dry.
