Good-Natured Rivalry.
This statement of Jesse. the Emergency
Hospital driver. in a half sarcastic and
vindictive tone, gave clue to the friendly
competition existing between the ambu-
lances of the two hospitals. which has led
to many exciting runs east of AZ street.
Competition usually kills but 1t is a safe
assertion to state that more than one life
has been saved by this good natured
! rivalry between the Emergency ana Cas-
ualty hospitals wherein the loss Of a few
seconds in many instances would have
| proven disastrous.

Rarely a day passes that we do not
have a suicide to take care OF, stated
DR. Carr of the Emergency.
do you not experience a great deal OF
trouble with unsuccessful suicides-that
is. do they not resist any treatment or
assistance"
ION the contrary" replied Dr. Carr,
they are, with few exceptions. very peni-
tent. and once man or woman has failed
to kill himself or herself, you will find
that they have learned a very valuable
lesson. and are more tEln anxious TO re-
cover again However. of all suicides,
gas cases are the most serious. and then
it is that a minute lost will result in
death. We usually try to find out the

Handling Railroad Accidents.
The calls that the hospitals auXiously
await and are ever on the alert for are
railroad accidents. 1t is then that the
capacity and accommodations are all
overtaxed. and every adjunct Of the hos
pital is brought into play. At such a
critical time as this the. ambulance is seen
to the best advantage, and the endurance
Of horses driver and doctor is tested to

The Casualty Hospital receives many OF
the unfortunate railroad victims when
ever a wreck occurs. Recently a call
was phoned I'm for a laborer who had
been badly crushed and was in need
of immediate attention lest he bleed to

putting on an overshoe on high -heeled

The Curious Crowd.

One of the most startling facts noted
by the hospitals is the apparent unCon-
Germ Of the public To those hurt or dying.

long ago / had a call up on Connecticut
avenue stating that n servant was dying
up I'm that locality. We made remarkable
time. and upon arriving AT the hons"
where the call came from not soul knew
who or where the party was that WAS
of hunting for the injured. and | was OF
fered not the slightest assistance nor even

In contradistinction to this apparent
carelessness is the morbid curiosity OF
those about one who has met with an ac-
cident-in many cases shutting on all air
from the unfortunate and entirely block
ing the ambulance.
Not long past" relates DR. Mofitt,

crowded resident portions of the city. We

Continuing Taft gave great empha-
sis to what he regarded as the effect

Referring to Gompers, Taft said
that one would think from reading
