GOING TO PERSIA FOR LIFE
Two Women Physicians Giving
Up Home and Country.

A party of about thirty persons went to
the Cunard pier yesterday to say goodby
10 two women physicians who have prac-
tically given up home and country for the
sake of the women and children of Persia.
They were DR. Sarah Clark. of New burg
N Y and DR.. Emma V Straiton. of
Woodmere, Long Island Both women. who
are past middle age, sailed on the PAN
nonia for Kazvim and Teheran, where they
intend to pass the remainder Of their lives
administering to the mothers and children
of Persia
The physicians did rot betray much emo
ton, but their friends wept as the gang
plank was hauled ashore. When i refer
erce was made to their sacrifice Dr. Clark
said:
Il look upon our departure as a privilege
rather than a sacrifice. The women of
Persia are putting aside the veil. coming
out into the world. making an effort to help
themselves and they need help. We are
going there to give them this help, and we
trust others will follow"
Asked how long she would remain in
Persia, DR.. Clark said: Most likely for
ever. I may ccme back for a visit before I
die, but that is problema teal DR.. Straiton
IS exceptionally clever in the admInIstTa-
tion and preparation of medicines, and viii
really act as a druggist. l have made
special study of the diseases of the eye for
several years in preparation for this work,
as the eye affections among the Persians
are exceptionally prevalent. We represent
the Bahei movement. which has for It's
object the unification of all creeds, and no
one knows better than we how the Per-
slams are opposed to it After our work is
under way hope to erect hospital for
the women and children"
The journey of the two women physicians
will cover about twelve thousand miles
