LITTLE GIRLS LIMP
VANTSHES UNDER
CLINIC TREATMENT
Mary Slavin, -Four Years
Old and Formerly Lame,
Now Romps With Other
Happy Children.

Four-year-old Mary slavin Is doing
more than any one else to bring children
into the children's clinic held every Tues
day afternoon in the Sunday school room
OF the East Montgomery Avenue Meth
odist Episcopal Church, Frankford and
East Montgomery avenues.
Until a few days ago the child was
lame. Relatives and friends believed che
would go through life with her right leg
shorter than the left by half an Inch, due
70 a dislocated or rotated hlpbone. Now
she romps about the big Sunday school
room while physicians work at the clinic
as easily as other children Her lame
ness has entirely disappeared.
Parents Of other children afflicted with
similar troubles or with catarrhal deaf
ness, nose and throat obstructions are
hardly able to believe the story of little
Mary Slavin. But the fact ls that she
was cured by volunteer osteopathic ply
sicians operating at the clinic. The cure
required patience. Sixteen treatments
were necessary before the hipbone could
be manipulated into place.
Two little blind boys who visit the
clinic every week share interest with
the little girl. Weeks ago they were
blind. Now they are beginning to dis
tinguish large objects. Vision is still
dim to them, but It Is coming, say the
physicianB, ana the boys luemoie with
eagerness at every treatment.
Nitrous oxide gas, flrst demonstrated In
this city at the clinic a few weeks ago,
is now being used regularly. II does not
deprive the patient of consciousness. The
clinic was organized by the pastor OF
the church, the Rev. Alexander Henry
Leo, last September. He is 80 encour-
aged with the remarkable cures that have
been accomplished that he ls planning to
advocate the opening Of clinics at
churches throughout the city for the free
treatment of children in the neighbor-
hood.
About 90 little cnes are treated every
week by DR.. Earl V. Huntington, of the
osteopathic College. at the clinic, for
disarrnngements of the ear, eye, nose.
throat and body. Assistants to Doctor
Huntington are Dr. d. b. s. Pennock,
Or. Ira w. Drew, DR.. Evalena S. Flem-
ing, DIR. j. f. Finch and senior students
of the college.

the Belgian Minister Of State, at 4 o'clock
this afternoon at the Forrest Theatre.
Madame van der velde will speak under
the auspices of the Emergency Aid Com
mttee, OF 1923 Walnut street
Though she left Belgium only month
ago, her experiences among starving ref
ugees who fed into Antwerp and ostend
before the German invaders were suf-
ilciently narrowing to provide material
for vivid recital. Already since her
arrival Madame van der Velde has col
lected in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Her object in coming to the United States
was to enlist aid for the relief of her
stricken countrymen.
The Committee on Arrangements for the
meeting at the Forrest Theatre is made
up as follows: Chairman, Mrs. Frank t.
Grlswold Mrs. Charles Biddle, Mrs. e.
Walter Clark. Mrs. Cornelius Stevenson,
Henry Mexican Ingersoll. Rodman Paul,

Brown.
Mrs. John Markoe ls chairman of the
Reception Committee. The other men,
bers of the committee are Mrs. II. La
Barre jayne Mrs Arthur Blddle, Miss
Agnes Irwin, Miss Agnes Repplier, Mrs.
Henry Middleton Fisher.
Madame van der Velde's knowledge OF
conditions brought about by the inva-
sion is extensive. Before leaving for this
country she directed Red Cross work and
helped in housing refugees who found
their way to Antwerp. She left Brussels
when the seat of government was changed
as the German army neared the capital.
While Madame van der Velde Is in Phila-
delphia she will be the guest of h.rs John
Markoe, OF 18th and Locust streets. On
the completion of her work in Philadel-
phia Madame van der Velde will continue
her tour of the country in behalf of the
non-combatants' relief fund.

BANK CLOSED.
Bank OF EfermanvIIle Suspends Busi-
ness. Former Cashier Charged
With Embezzlement.

H HermanvilIe has had more than
its share of trouble this year.
About two months ago it suffered
a disastrous fire which came near
bankrupting several of IT'S merch.
ants. And now its only bank has
been forced to close its doors.
Last Friday former cashier J.W.
Clark was arrested on a warrant
sworn out the by banks president
DIR. E. P. Jones, accusing him OF
embezzlement on two counts. He
was placed under bonds aggregat-
ing $4,000, and his preliminary tri-
al set for yesterday.
In the mean time several of the
depositors became uneasy and
drew out their deposits. This
crippled the institution, and the
directors decided to close until the
actual condition of affairs could be
ascertained.
Yesterday several attorneys went
out from Port Gibson to take part
in the proceedings, but the defend
ant waived examination, and the
case will come before the circuit
court in June. His bonds were
increased to $4,000, which was
promptly furnished, about twenty
friends being on hand to sign their
names.
The shortage is variously esti--
mated from $1,000 to S18, 900.
Mr.. Clark claims that he simply,
oyerdrew his account, making no
secret of the transaction. This the
directors deny.
The bank was organized in 1906
with capital stock of S25, 600.
Its statement in January showed
deposits of $34,5o6, surplus 1000,
bills payable S8, 500, loans and
discounts S52, ,573-of which $s,-
700 was loaned to officers, direc-
tors and stockholders,-o

positors. DR.. E. p. Jones was
president, and I. w. Clark was
cashier until a few weeks ago when
John A. Gradick was elected cash.
ier and Mr.. Clark made manager.
There had been friction between
President Jones and Cashier Clark
for some time, the public consid-
ering it due to personal differences.
A short time ago, however, an ex-
pert accountant dropped into the
bank and examined the books. It
is said that his report caused
the arrest.
