AMERICAN WOMAN DOCTOR
MAKES INSPECTION TOUR
Queer Custom First Found in
City of Kobe-Button
Shoes a Curiosity.

SEATTLE, Dec. 14.-Dr. Helen Rab-
cock. a prominent woman physician
of this city, returned recently from
tour of the Orient. during which she
studied professional conditions in
Manila and cities IN China and Japan.
Tiptoeing in stockinged feet through
japanese hospital in Kobe, while
the patients looked curiously at her,
was one of the feminine medico's ex-
periences. The Japanese custom of
removing the shoes before entering
an abode also applies to the medical
institutions Mrs. Babcock found out
to her amusement and that of the
hospital attaches.
In accordance with the rule DIR.
Babcock took off her shoes, placing
them among others at the entrance
of the hospital. After an inspection
of the wards and operating room she
prepared to leave the institution.
IF / were a little lighter it would
be easier for me to button my shoes"
laughed DIR. Babcock. but | thought
/ would let the rickshaw man try
his hand. He was evidently unfamil-
lar with buttons and -buttonhooks.
for he started to button with the
wrong end of the hook. Attracted by
the unusual sight about a hundred
Japanese gathered about. The rick
shaw man tried his best. but couldn't
get the combination. Finally ] had
to button the shoes myself.
II was surprised. particularly in
Manila, to find that the hospitals
were conducted as well, If not better,
than some of our own. The Govern
ment hospital is one of the most up
to-date institutions l ever saw. There
is nothing lacking in the equipment
and throughout it is a model of clean
illness and skill.
lone peculiar thing observed in
leading Japanese hospital. While
everything was modern, there was an
old fireplace and coal scuttle in the
operating room"
A number of Filipino women are
being trained in surgery and medi-
cine, she states. but in China and
Japan the fair sex have as yet not

Hub-Mark Rubbers
If properly Fitted
Wear Evenly

You've noticed that most rubbers
give out in some one place-perhaps
they break along the edge OF the
sole-leaving the rest of the rubber
intact.
TO give additional resistance and
nreyenf this waste, We reinforce all
Hub Mark rubbers with numerous
STAYS and strengthening strips at all
nlaces where extra strain comes.
You would be surprised to see what
a complicated piece Of work the in
side of a Hub-Mark rubber is.
Yet all our efforts TO give you
good value go for nothing unless you
take pains to get a good hit. No
rubber can do itself justice If worn
over a shoe it doesn't fit or one worn
down at the heel.
