WASHINGTON GIRL
HERO OF RECENT
ARMENIAN 'QUAKE
A Washington girl, Miss Elsie Jar
vis, was one of the heroines of the
recent Aremenian earthquake*. Serv
ing as a nurse in the Near East Re
lief children's hospital at Leninakan,
she was presiding over an operating
table when the first shock came. In
a letter to her parents she describes
the tragic event, which cost 500 lives
and left 80,000 people homeless:
Funny how, against our wills, in»
stinct directs our actions tword self
preservation," she writes. "I was su
turing a scalp wound and the doctor
was amputating a hand when the
first shock came. We dashed out
side, to realize before the quake had
finished that we had left our pati
ents behind. So we rushed back in,
to find the operating room still shak
ing, plaster all over the table, and
the patients where we had left them.
It was all so sudden as to be unbe
lievable. But with blanched faces
and looks of determination we
4.
went on with our work, and as the
tremblers continued, we rapidly
evacuated all our patients into the
wheat fields.
"The ground everywhere was
pitching constantly. From the city a
mile down the hill rose loud cries— j
All lights
a whole city in terror,
went out and through the haze a
cloud of thick dust covered every
thing. Thank goodness our huge
stone buildings, built many years ago
as barracks for the Cossask army,
remained fairly steady—at least long
enough for us to evacuate all our pa
tients and the 9,000 children from the
orphanages.
Then the ambulances began to
come in, from the city and the vil
lages. Earthquake shocks continued
intermittently. Ai each fresh shock,
the patients would get panicky, and
we would abandon the amputation
and dressings to quiet them. In ten
days, we had nearly fifty separate
, shocks. During all that time, I had
j been snatching a few hours' sleep
» when I could.

little—concerning whqt its function
Is, at least That organ is the spleen.
The English physiologist Barcroft,

a mystery to us even now.
The ancient Greeks, he said, are
said to have Improved their athletic
prowess by cutting out the spleen,
their argument being it was the cause
