AT THE ILLINOIS.

Sunday will be a day of days at the
Illinois theatre, when the manage
ment will offer its patrons big dou-
Bile bill, with Annette kollerman in
"Neptune's Daughters" and Beatriz
Michelena in "Salomy Jane" as the
features. 'Neptune's Daughters" was
the first monster American-made feat
ure and the greatest woman of the
American stage, Annette kellerman,
was selected as its star. Staged in
the South Sea islands, the story, an
idyllic one, is woven about a charm
ing myth and has the luXuriant foliage
of the tropics for its background.
Miss Kellerman is known the world
over as the most perfect woman,
and her swimming has been the sensa-
ton of this country and Europe for
decade. In "Neptune's Daughters"
she is given ample opportunity to
demonstrate her aquatic powers as
we'll as her charming and appealing
dramatic ability. The film in itself is
a feature even longer than the ord
mary motion picture program and has
been shown at advanced prices. in all
theatres.
Not content with exclusive booking

nois management is offering "Salomy
Jane" a six-reel feature with Beatriz
Michelena as the featured player. Sa-

which had been tested and found
valuable in this country and employ
ed them in our work in Ireland.
"On the other hand, in coming
to the United States, we feel
that some compensation is due to
the little isle for the thousands of
sturdy sons and daughters who have
emigrated to this lane Of promise
and who have helped by their labor
and their loyalty in making it the
great nation it is today.
"Do you realize" said Lady Aber-
deem, "that more than 100000 per-
sons have come from Ireland to the
United States since 1845? The
statistics of the immigration bureau
show this. ! am sure that many Of
the government officials will tell you
that no better class of immigrants
have come to these shores, for most
of the Irish came to stay, they have
proved good citizens and very valu-
able to the United States from an
economic point of view"
Lady Aberdeen talks gently and
without any ostentation Of manner.
She never boasts of "what she has
done" While she was describing
the work of the Women's Health As
sociation, of which she was so great
a part, she never once used the per-
sonal pronoun. 1t was always: "The
Association has done this" or "The
visiting nurses have accomplished so
much" and so on.
In spite of their rank and titles
the Marquis has string of letters
after his name which look like the
alphabet-the Marquis and Mar
chioness of Aberdeen and Temair are
extremely simple and democratic in
their ways. There is about them
none of the red tape which often
makes it difficult for a person in
humble position to approach those
who occupy exalted positions. After
you have been talking with Lady
Aberdeen for a few minutes, you
feel as if you had known her for
many years. She inspires you with
a confidence in yourself, which, com
bined with an admiration of her man.
ner and of her goodness of soul,
makes you feel at ease in moment.
When Lady Aberdeen is conversing
she smiles sweetly; she is gracious,
easy and unassuming In manner;
and charity and kindness are writ
ten large on her countenance.
A VANISHING RACE.
Before leaving for the United
States on this present trip, Lady
Aberdeen had her life insured for
$4,000 in favor Of the Women's Ma
tional Association, so that the or
ganization would have that sum Of
money If any misfortune overlook
her.
Lady Aberdeen practices what
she breaches" Many years ago, in
fact right after Lord Aberdeen went

having done most to help stamp out
the great white plague The other
half of the prize went to the Charity
Organization Society of New York.
"In addition to its anti-tuberculo-
sis work, the Association has aimed
in many other ways to promote the
general health and improve the liv-
ing conditions of poor Irish people.
Visiting nurses have been engaged to
go about from place to place and
from home to home, ministering. like
the angels of mercy they are, to the
needs of the sick and the suffering.
They enter a poor grass thatched
hovel like a ray of sunshine into a
dark cavern. On the little Island of
Innishboffen, off the coast of Gal
way, one of these visiting nurses ad-
ministered alone for weeks at a time,
without a single vessel from the
mainland, to the needs of the poor
people on the island. She was the
only one to whom they could turn
for medical advice of any sort.
VISITING NURSES.
"In all the Association has main
tanned about 100 of these visiting
nurses. They have been sent to any
part of Ireland wherever there has
been a call for aid. They go to
the homes where sick child has
just returned from the hospital, and
show the mother how to care for the
little one and how to prepare what
food is on hand so as to make it as
nutritious as possible. And in 60
ing about they give instructions to
the people as to methods of preven-
tion of disease, telling them, for in
stance, that open windows are bet
ter than closed windows to keep tu-
berculosis away, showing the value
of cleanliness, of proper cooking and
so on.
"And in Dublin, where as many as
10000 families live in single-room
tenements, and 10000 Of these aver
age five or six persons, living In a
damp and dingy cellar or a musty
garret, you can realize the great
amount of work there is for these
visiting nurses. They have been en-
ployed there and in other cities, as
well as in the rural districts of the
island. with infinite benefit to the
people.
"Other ways" continued Lady
Aberdeen, ain which the Association
has been active have been In the es-
tablishment of babies clubs and In
fant welfare centers, in Fairgrounds
and open air spaces for the children,
in dental clinics In the schools, In
providing inexpensive meals for
school children and In offering them
prizes for eating porridge instead
Of taking tea; in conducting classes
for mothers and elder girls, in send
ing about the country travelling
child welfare and good food exhibits,
and in cleanup campaigns.

Health Association of Ireland, of
which she has been president ever
since it came into existence
Many times obstacles and opposi-
tion have appeared in the way, but
these have only spurred Lady Aber-
deem on to greater determination
to win out. Friends have said to
her frequently, after she had an
nounced that she proposed to do a
certain thing: at can't be DONE"
This has not daunted her. Like Rob
ert Bruce, her ancestor, she would
not admit that there was any such
word as "can't" in the language.
While the Marchioness of Aber-
deem and Temair has accomplished
much during her life, perhaps the
greatest monument which she has
erected to herself and to her unflag-
ging energy and devotion to a cause
has been the Womens National
Health Association of Ireland. She
has given of her time unsparingly
since its inception in 1907.
CURBING TUBERCULOSIS.
"The babies must be saved for the
coming generation" said Lady Aber-
deem, "and the other children must
have their health protected, if the
strength and stamina of Ireland as
a nation is to continue. Thousands
of brave sons of Erin are giving
their lives in the trenches of Europe;
the little ones at home must be safe
guarded and saved for the future OF
the race. The need for infant welfare
work is more imperative now than
it probably ever can be again, for in
addition to an increased infant NOR
tality, and the deaths on the battle
field, the records show decreasing
birth rate since the war began.
sowing to lack of funds, a chill
dren's sanatorium for the treatment
of tuberculosis has been left stand
ing empty. A new preventorium,
where women and children can go
whose health would be restored by a
few weeks of good food, good air and
care, was taken over but there is no
money with which to equip it. Ire
land possesses no hospital to care for
children suffering from surgical tu-
berculosis, and this is much felt
need. A large percentage of these
cases could be cured if proper medi-
cal attention were given at the right
time. Unfortunately this cannot be
DONE
"But, among its numerous activi-
ties, the Association can point with
PRIDE" continued Lady Aberdeen,
''to what it has accomplished in re-
ducing the death rate from tubercu-
losis In Ireland. There are about 80
less deaths from tuberculosis each
week now than there were in 1907,
and there are about $4,000 fewer
persons suffering from the disease.
The Association is proud Of the fact
that It was able to come to the
United States a few years ago at the
time of the International Congress
on tuberculosis and be rewarded, in
q contest open to the world, with
half Of the grand prize Of $1,000. for

aid She instituted the Irish In
dustries Association. She arranged
the famous garden party at the
Viceregal Lodge at which all the
guests were expected to wear gar
ments made of Irish material. This
was the start Of society whose
members pledged themselves to en-
courage and develop Irish indus
tries by every means in their power.
Never once during the thirty years
since that time, has Lady Aberdeen
appeared without some garment Of
Irish texture. 1t was under her
leadership that the Irish Village was
organized at the Chicago Worlds
Fair, which made $25O,OO0 and gave
a great impetus to Irish industry.
Ireland, for two generations has
been a dwindling race. There are
but half as many people there today
as there were in 1910. Then the
population was more than 100000
and now it is barely above the A.
100000 mark. Plague, emigration,
war, infant mortality, have taken
their toll. There remains today
little more than remnant of a once
proud race, and conditions that are
tragically dangerous are facing that
remnant. The lustiest of Ireland's
sons are dying in trenches Of Europe.
Death stalks among the sod huts
where the financial stress of the
great conflict is felt and the babies
are dying much more rapidly than
they would be if their opportunities
for life were up to the standard.
Is the Irish race to survive? Is
there to be another generation Of
Irishmen to go forth and become the
salt of the earth? The safest way to
assure an affirmative answer to this
question is to battle that the babies
may be saved.
at is eminently fitting that this
should be Irish Babies Week." said
Lady Aberdeen in conclusion. mo
better time could be selected than
the week in which the patron saint
of Ireland is worshipped by the loyal
sons Of Erin all over the world.
make this week of st. Patrick's
one in which each good son and
daughter of the blessed isle, shall
deny himself and herself some little
luxury to help save the babies Of
Ireland. Their little lives are crying
to great and generous America and
to their brothers on this side of the
water to contribute bit to help
them live and grow into strong men
and women for the future glory Of
the Irish race"
In some of the cities which Lord
and Lady Aberdeen have visited,
treasurers have been named, among
them being John d. Crimmins, New
York; j. C. Heyer, Boston,; A. c.
kains. San Francisco. and John Joy

citation, the body which is striving to
carry on the Child Welfare Cam
paign Is, in consequence of lack OF
funds caused by the war, threatened
with annihilation.
Every bullet that kills soldier
skaters at least two lives-the life
of the man and the life Of the woman
who loves him-to say nothing of the
babies. To compensate for these los
ses of the war, the best way is to re-
duce the death-rate among children
and to do away with preventable ill
ness. This must be done now-to
wait "until the end of the war" will
be too late. If the saving of the
babies and children has to be aban-
doned at this time, there will be no
way of making up for the losses at:
ter the war. The destruction will
have been wrought. The lives of the
thousands of little ones who might
have been spared for the rebuilding
of a strong and sturdy Irish race,
will have been lost, and no efforts
after the war can by any possibility
make up for the irreparable dam
age to the race.
DECREASING BIRTH RATE.
This Is the plea and the lesson
which Lord and Lady Aberdeen have
brought with them to America. They
have been laboring, in season and out
of season, to impress upon those to
whom they have spoken the urgent
need Of the Irish babies welfare
work. In addition to an increase in
the infant mortality in Ireland since
the beginning Of the war and the
loss Of thousands Of Irish heroes on
the battlefelds Of Europe, the rec
ords show also decreasing birth
rate since the war started, Lady
Aberdeen points out.
"In one Of the cities Of Ireland,
Dublin, for instance, there has been
a great increase in infant mortality
since the war began" said Lady
Aberdeen, in discussing the question
a few days ago. "There has been an
increase in the death rate Of babies
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1916-03-12

under one year from 162 per thou
sand in the early part of 1914, be-
fore hostilities began, to 1S1 per
thousand in the corresponding period
of 1915. The normal death rate in
Dublin is about las per thousand.
Proper feeding and wise care for the
little ones and their mothers would
have prevented many of these
deaths. In the country districts
there is not the crying need that
prevails in the large cities with
their congested districts and wretch
ed conditions"
Lady Aberdeen is president of the
Women's National Health Associa
tion of Ireland, which she organized
in 1907, soon after Lord Aberdeen
went to Ireland as Viceroy. Since
that time the death rate from tu-
berculosis in Ireland has been re-
duced in marked degree and much
other excellent health improvement
has been noted throughout the
Emerald Isle.
But the association always has
been supported by voluntary contri-
buttons. Therefore, it began to be
hampered almost Immediately after
the European war started and, with
other demands upon the people who
had been contributors, as the months
rolled by the money stringency for
the association became more and
more acute. At last the organiza-
ton was almost threatened with COL
lapse. Then it was that Lord and
Lady Aberdeen decided to come to
America with their appeal.
LADY ABERDEEN.
Lady Aberdeen has a heart as big
as the world. She has beer called by
one writer, "A Mother to All the
World" Her life has been devoted
to good works. Wherever she has
been, she has sought for the oppor-
tunity to be of some benefit to those
around her. When Lord Aberdeen
was Governor General Of Canada,
his wife organized the Victorian
Order of Nurses in Canada; and well
has the energy and time which she
expended in this direction been
repaid. one lS one OI tHe itdueTb
for the advancement of women in
world affairs. She was president Of
the International Council Of Women
from 1893 to 1899 and again from
1904 to date. She is keenly interest
ed in this movement and is constant
ly striving to advance its object Of
bringing into close relationship the
women workers of the world.
When Lord Aberdeen went to Ire
land as Viceroy for his second tenure
Of that Office, in 1905. which high
Office he held until 1915, Lady Aber-
deem who had been for many years
identified with the movement for in
dustrial revival in Ireland, was
quickly touched by the poverty and
the wretched conditions which she
saw about her. So she set about de-
vising ways to help the people who
needed help. With her characteristic
energy and skill at organization, she
started the Women's National
