Nicholas Day Nursery, 32:t South Twelfth

need of help, for It does an enormous
amount of work, taking care of babies
while their mothers are working, and It
seems to have walked right straight
througll Its maintenance fund. And that's
not it funny condition for anything to bo
In during these days of rising and "rlu"

So the committee gathered a lot of sec-ond-hand
Jewelry, furniture, toys, milli

Sir KecognUIng the (treat value of your

cial attention to the unsafe conditions for
pedestrians which haxe existed at Thirty
sixth and Walnut streets. For many months
1 have been obliged to cross Walnut street
at Thirty-sixth between ! and r:30 o'clock
each evening, nnd t have no't on any occa
sion seen a policeman within a block of that
point, llut on scleral occasions I havo thero
noted speeding motorists without front or
rear lights.
One night two weeks ago my wlfo and 1
bad reached tho middle of Walnut street
when two no-llghl nutos passed between us
and the curb. When we reached the curb
another. sMIl showing no light, passed rapidly
up. Last night one pasted within three feet
of me, showing neither fiont nor rear light.

"Speeding . at Thlrly-seienth and Walnut

edition of our paper of the ",7th Inst., I
wish to make a statement.
Although speeding may hale been the

such is not aUajs the case, and It Is 11
wonder lo the writer that ihero have not
been more accidents recently at this point
or section of the city.
1 lime occasion to travel Walnut street
often and have noted,, much to my annoy
ance, tli.it for a week at a time and at
Intervals the arc lights have not been burn
ing between Thirty-fourth street anil Thirty
ninth stleit. Inclusive. It Is itulte illtllctltt
to pilot a machine along a street with only
the miserable gas lamps to guide nu. At
street crossings the driver must como to
nlmoxt a complete stop If he desires to be
cautions mid does not wish to be hit by
another machine using the cross street. The
city Is to blame for this and also the con
dition of the streets. The holes found In the
streets in all s.ctlons of the city render
any "speeding" highly Improbable.

Tiger! Tiger!
To the Editor of the -.'renin, PuhUa Ledger:
Sir "The lady or the tiger?" has been the
problem of readers nf Krank Stockton's fas
cinating bit of fiction. Your Mr. Gilbert,
whose dispatcher from Paris dally throw a
flood of Illumination on the proceedings of
the Peace Conference and what the deliber
ations of the worlcls mot famous statesmen
leany signify, offers the riddle In another
form, to be sure, albeit a "Tiger" none
other than the Indomltuble M. Clemcnceali
is seen as one of the figures In the conceit.
The new puzzle, as II piques the a vera 0s
understanding, seeking to sohe the outcome
of the World Congress up to date. Is whether
III the creation of the League of Nations,
joyously proclaimed In the current cable
grams from your representative at Paris,
simultaneously with the news that the bmall
nations must "go way back and sit down"
wlille the big four or five, Is It? take ac
tual control of the Peaco Congress and Its
work whether M. ciemenceau has taken
the oyster by the realization of his Kntente
ambitions and politely handed the shell to
Mr. Wilson by permitting the league, which
Is ostensibly to hold the world In perpetual
tranquillity. In other words, has the Premier
of Prance gained the substance and the
Preslddit of the Cnlted Slates the shadow
of a triumph at the game of diplomatic
strategy hi which the keenest wits of many
nations have been matched?
Ciemenceau the tiger, or Wilson the apos
tle of sweetness and light, which of the
twain conies foith victor In the first encoun
ter of the world's Pe.tc Conference? The
analogy with tho Stockton tale a not ac
curate, 1 admit, but the purpose of my
Inquiry must be plain to you, Mr. Kdltor,
and doubtless many readers of tho Kminino
Pfni.ic I.uiHinr. would welcome a ray of
enlightenment. WATCHFUL WAITKfl.

To the Kdxtor 0 the Krening Public Ledger;
Sir I beg to express my appreciation of
tho most admirable article appearing In vour
Issue, of January 7, entitled "An Appeal for
a lletter I'nderstaiidlng Between the White
and Colored people nf Philadelphia." The
topic, is a most timely one and requires the
most careful thought and care If we would
avert disaster In our Industrial and social
life. I merely write this because I think
the matter Is of supreme Importance, and It
Is gratifying to find that the now (.papers are
ready to give such generous xpace lo this

Thomas Rollins, as President.
Tells of Institution's Accom
plishments Under Handicap
Despite the Inconveniences and hardships
dun to the loss of many members of the statt
and Its greatly Increased expenses, the Cnl
verslty Hospital did greater work during the
last year than at any other time In Us hls
to.ry. This fart la made public by Thomas nob
Ins, president of the hospital, In bis report
printed In the current number of the Penn
sylvania liazette.
Seventy-three members of the slaff were
called Into tho Fnltcd States service. Includ
ing not only the Internes, but many of the
most Indispensable members of Its staff.
Financially many problems remain to tie
solved.
Mr. r.obins states that "the government,
In its desire to maintain elllclency in Us land
and sea forces has drawn upon the chari
table institutions at home without stint, and
also without method, and it is to be Imped
that In the future the authorities will en
deavor lo mako some adjustment beiween
the claims of a vast population lenialnmg in
the Fnltcd States and tho forces operating
against the enemy In lUfrope. ' W"k"t "-"
such methodical adjustment. Mr Ln bins
states, that the neglect of home institutions
Involves the risk of disaster.
During the year additional facilities were
offered to train regular muses A specia
bouse at .1i0S Walnut street was furnished
for the accommodation of twenty-live pupil-uiir-eij.
and the Fnlvorslty has been In a po
sition for some time lo meet the demands
of the government fur additions to Its nursing
forces A course for nurses' aides has been
continued through lh year, nnd "large
number of such aides have been graduated
. ..aulatlnc III llOSOltill WOlk.
In this connection Mr. llobins states. ' It
Is uuicli to be regretted that those in author
itv -it Washington have discouraged the edil
ca'tlnn of nurses' aides. Instead of welcoming
volunteer effott through tills channel The
guild of professional nuisrs. whose lepre
entatlves an- in control al Washington, lias
been actuated by a narrow professional
spirit rather than by a broad view ot the
whole situation. As a consequence, instead
of adopting the liberal attitude- of liieat
Tirilain and France toward volunteer as
Distance, no effort has hern sp.ned to dis
courage such assistance."

Mission Worker's Letter Shows
Country Not Yet Heady for

"Reports of our missionaries in liilna.
thirty-six or whom are In the province nf
Hunan," said Dr. Allen II. Ilartholoinew,
secretary of the Hoard of Foreign Missions
of the Reformed Church, today, indicate
that the Hick man of China has still a long
and terribly dltlleult road to travel before
ho can become worthy o'f a republic In any
modern sense of the word.' He further
said:
"1 spent some tune in I'htti.i myelf In
charge of mission work Just think nf Ihe
dimcultles of a league of nations, participant
members of which represent peoples who
practice such abominable barbarities an thoe
which Doctor Adams mentions In this letter '
Dr. W, 1 Adams Is physician In charge ot
Ihe Hoy Memorial Hospital, Yoehow, Hunan,
China. Doctor Adams writes-
"We had an Interesting specimen nf a
soldier In the dlspensaty the other day. lie
Inquired iih to the method of nink'.ug up
medicine from human hearts lie had three
at home, drying them for Ihe purpose lie
confessed to having drunk human blood
during I1I.1 soldiering where he obtnlned his
hearts."
"Tills." said Doctor llaitliolnmew. "was
during the fighting last spring between the
government and the tevolutlonMs. Just n
year ago today thn northern soldiers were
driven from Yoehow, and In evacuating
the city they tlrst looted and then burned it.
and vie have in, HOD women and 1 lilldrell to
rhelter In mat houses, which we hastily eon
structrd. And wounded coimaib" of theso
same soldiers were ovi rtlllltig mir hospitals
at the time, and when the southern sol
diers came In they forced their wnv In nnd
bavoncted them."
Doctor llnrtliiilumevv showed a photograph
sent by Doctor Adams of bodies of I'hlliese
soldiers with their heads cut' ntf.
' "The Chimse," Doctor Ilartholoinew went
on, "have a peculiar dread of disease, which
makes It haul to git Chinese aid in hos
pital work or home, nursing, if 'u are
stricken with a fever you will gel no atten

cupied by devils; tables .md mattresses
writhe and groan and reply to you when
questioned. Few will venture Into the room
The patient Is deserted like a letter
"Filial piety directs that when father or
mother Is attacked they should receive some
attention. So the parent Is phi 1 In n
solitary room with a m ssel of water by
his or' her side. The door Is secured am.
a pole placed mar It. Twice a day the
anxious son or daughter cautiously peers In,
takes up the pole and pokes and prods the
sick person lo see whether he or she Is still
"l "If children have Ills, it is their bad .lis
position that Is blamed for It. mid mothers
beat them unmercifully while 111 convulsion
to knock the tits out nf them.
"Hvgienlc relations are dltlleult to estab

indiscriminately to eat all dead unlit .Us.
Cows and mules, as well as I'01'3" "B;

children are ofti-i not burled at all.

Kthel , Boycr, of Philadelphia,
I rges Care for Men Who
Went Through Hell
-
"Thete are bijva on their way home now
who have literally gone through hell," write
Miss Kthel h. lioier. a trained nurse of this
city, now with the American Red Cross In
Paris, to the Rev. Dr. David M Steele, rec
tor of the Church of St Luke nnd the Bplph
nn j
-Mls lioyer also said tlie soldiers returning
fiom overseas will need the best of care, and
she hopes tjint the women and girls In the
United States will appreciate the situation
and arlMc to the occasion
The letter received by Doctor Steele from
Miss Ito.vcr follows In psrt:
"When I fhst arrived In France. I ex-
peeled to be sent out somewhere Into the
provinces, but the base hospitals nre being
evacuated so rapidly that we are kept here.
The bovs are being sent home as soon as
they ate able to travel and ns soon bs
transportation can be procured. Tho result
l.i that hundreds of them aro passing through
Paris every dav- The need for nur work
here Is very great, therefore, and so I am
stationed at the Canteen tlaro de Lyon, 19
Hue Travel srrle
"Yesterday, from 7 a tn lo 11 p. m.
alone, more than U'nft men were served an
appetizing dinner, with nuts mid oranges
and candv. They all went away happy. The
rantt en Is never closed nnd we work In
three elght-lmtn- shifts
"I have talked with the boys from every
State In the Union, and it Is Interesting to
note the many different types of American
manhood. They are certainly tho finest men
in the world
I have also visited the hospitals in ths
suburb of Paris. There I talked to many
of our bovs vi ho have heen terribly wounded,
The suffering they have cone throutrb seems
I hardly possible for human beings to endure.
'There are inanv bovs on their way home
now who have literally gone through hell.
They are nervous wrecks and nre broken In
health. They will need nil the tender care
the people at home can givo I hem Nothing
will he too good for them, nor ought to be
considered too much trouble. I hope the,
g,lrls and women In the Cnlted States will
appieilate the situation and rlso lo the
occasion."
