MISS HEWITT I TELLS NEW HAVEN ABOUT
 PROTECTIVE HOME
Tells Elm City Folks What May Be Accomplished
 With Her Methods.

eL~ .s
 Miss Katherine J Hewitt, superin- tendent Of the Bridgeport Protective association addressed a large group Of New Haven women in the audi torium of the Chamb Der of CornInerce in that city at II o'clock this morn ing, giving a summary Of the delin- quent boy and girl question in her dress which was the last of series of five lectures including ones upon the girl and boy delinquent, the de- fectfVes, the refornatory for women and like subjects Miss Hewitt sum med up the needs of New Haven as those found in common with this city and noted the need for Protective home such as is maintained in this city today.
 The need for a place where babies may be cared for, where children are trained, a, special training school where those between the ages of 2 to 16 either because Of delinquency, neglect or destitutioh may be cared for. one home for those between 1e and 30 and a colony for. the round CTS, where they may no longer be a. menace to society. Whereas 1t would be impossible for each city to sup port such an institution by concert ed action it would be possible to per- feet such a plan on a large plan. .
 With the tree which synabolizes the v VI ~ SAAo -A-eA5 S42S z 1-t'seeSe1NS association in this city. Miss Hewitt traced very carefully in detail the work accomplished here and 1lIustrat- ed with many specific cases Much Interest was expressed in the work and it is probable that there may be some cooperation in the future.
 This week the Bridgeport Protec- tive association is canvassing the city for the funds with which to support the work of the association in tha home in Myrtle avenue. Gontrftu tions from a few cents upwards are solicited and all contributions may be sent either to Mrs. Waiter S.

 The first surgical operation per- formed while the patient was under the influence Of ether as an anesthetic was at Jefferson, Jackson county, Ga seventy-three years ago today, March 90, 1842s when pr. Crawford w Long, a physician of that village. made use of sulfuric ether is remov- ing a tumor from the neck of James M Venabde. The Georgia country. doctor was undoubtedly the pioneer in the hurnanftarlan field of anes- thesias although similar claims have been made for Dr. Charles T. Jack son, a Boston physician. and pr. Thomas Morton, a Boston dentist. It remained for the latter to popu1arize and make known to the world the great blessing which has nitigated the horrors and multiplied the uses of surgery. as pr. Long was only an obscure country doctor, without in fluence in the profession. The
 Georgia physician removed two. tunnors from venable's neck and both operations were entirely successful and painless to the patient. In the bill he rendered his patient Dr. Long charged two dollars for. each opera t1on. with an added charge Of twenty five cents} for the administratio on of 6ulfuric ether
