STANDARDIZATION OF HOSPITAL WORK
 ASSOCIATION PLAN
Many Professional Men to At tend Annual Conference
 In Philadelphia.

Philadelphia. Aug. 2S-Standardiza- ton of hospital work and the training of nurses will be the principal sub jects of discussion at the eighteenth annual conference of the American Hospital association here September 26 to 30. Fifteen hundred professional men o. e expected to attend.
 According to Dr. William H. Walsh. former superintendent of the Munich pal hospital of this city, the conven- ton will take action toward estab- fishing uniformity in hospital work, possibly even to the use of surgical instruments, and toward placing the nursing profession on the highest plane The question whether hospi- tals which reject venereal cases should not be cut off from state appropria- tions may also be considered. Many members of the association believe that a hospital should be prepared to receive any kind of a case, even to contagious diseases. Many persons who are seriously i'll from a conta- gious or venereal disease prefer to undergo treatment at home rather than feel the stigma of entering spe- cial hospital for the treatment of such diseases.
 The association will go on record, it is predicted, in favor of a properly or ganized dental clinic for every hospi- tai, inasmuch as physicians agree that mouth treatment is of vital impor- tance in the. battle against germs.
 The keynote of the discussions will be sounded by Dr. John O. Hornsby of Chicago, who will submit a report sarTyI, oF Organization; and the annual ad. dress of the President of the Associa. ton by pr. Winfred H. Smith. super. intendent of Johns Hopkins Hospital will be one of the opening features.

The most serious mishap occurred late in the day when Mrs. Helen Cawley of Baldwin street, Waterbury. was struck by machine and knocked several yards, suffering a broken leg and other injuries.
 The aged woman was slowly cross ing the street, and although she saw the car speeding in her direction, she had no time to avoid it. The driver made an attempt at stopping the ma- chine, but did not succeed until Mrs. Cawley had been struck and knock ed to one side of the road. She was removed to her cottage on the water front.
 The other half dozen mishaps oc- cured along Harrison park and all though no serious injuries were suf- fered a number of people were badly shaken up and in several cases badly bruised. Two of the cars, one a jit- ney, were smashed.
 Owing to the fact that over three fourths of the visitors who have been stopping here for the past few weeks returned to their homes yesterday. traffic was heavier than it has been in many years. Hundreds of autos hurried along the local thoroughfares until an early hour this morning, car rying passengers, the trolley cars were packed, while extra coaches had to be added on the Valley trains, to ac- commodate the homegoing crowds.

They are men-of-warsmen now, ev- cry one of the 1000 recruits who have embarked on the civilian training cruise of the United States navy. They rise at 5 o'clock to the bosuns' pipe, tumbling out of their hammocks six feet to the floor. They lash their hammocks in the required nautical way with the required number or ritches. Then they roll up their broau legged sailor pants to the knees and swab down the decks with cold sea water. They polish brass and wash paint as though their existence de- pended on the job. It might be fun ny to see a man whose fortune runs to millions shining brass in way that would not earn him g day. Yet you know that brass polishing Is not his goal.

of propaganda to stimulate and culti- vate a sound public opinion against absolute divorce and to labor for reform of the existing lax divorce laws. We heartily commend the po- sition taken by the Catholic Lawyers League, whose members decline to take the cases of clients suing for ab- solute divorce for the purpose of re- marriage"
 To the resolution urging Catholic education among the Indians, this section concerning negroes was added:
 "Solicitous for the spiritual and temporal welfare of the 10,000,000 of colored people in the United States, we regard with satisfaction the splen- did work being done for them by the various organizations. We pledge our loyal support and heartily com mend all those jealous, self-sacrific- ing religious who devote their lives so heartily to the evangelization of the colored people,"
 "Chcap Magazines Assailed.
 Charles T. Daly, secretary of the Boston Diocesan Union, urged the convention to adopt the Boston plan of representation, that is the selection of delegates by diocese, allowing one delegate for each 0,000 Federation members. National societies would be represented by delegates as at present.
 This was more democratic and rep resentative than the present plan, it was said, and would place each unit in closer touch with the Bishop of the diocese. The convention will act on the suggestion today.
 John s. Sumner, who succeeded the late Anthony Comstock as secretary of the New York Society for the Sup presson of Vice, urged that one or two Catholics become members of the society's Board of Managers.
 we are not bigots," he said, land I am frank to say to you that we realize that the Catholic newspapers are giving us far greater support in our work than the Protestant news papers, and we want to show our ap- preciation by having some of you faith assist in directing our affairs"
 MT. Sumner told the delegates one was "the plague of cheap magazines which to fer to their contents as snappy or spicy or saucy or something like that. These stories are read al- most exclusively by half educated girls and young women axious to get away from the heavy grind of life and in a frame of mind to appreciate the good fortune of the heroine of the stories, who gets away with her in- discretions."

SIX DEATHS IN BORDER FORCES
 DUE TO DISEASE
Remarkable Record is Dis closed in Report to Gen.
 Pershing.

Field Headquarters, American Pun itive Expedition, Mexico, Aug. 22- Only six deaths from disease and present sick rate of Is per cent. for the American punitive expedition since it entered Mexico more than five months ago was the record contained in official figures given out here today by thes anitary department. Adding the number of sick being treated at the base hospital to those in the field, the rate is increased to 2.5 per cent There has not been single case of typhoid, the prevailing ailment being dysentery.
 This is a remarkable record for an expedition serving in this sort of a country with nothin- but field equip ment,' declared Gen. J. J. Pershing commander of the punitive expedition. when shown the departments figures. It probably is as low record as any similar expedition ever has set and shows the wonderful progress made along a sanitary line within the past few years an the high efficiency of the sanitary department.
 "It also shows the nigh apprecia- ton of sanitary regulation by the off, cers who have been held to a strict account for violations by these com mands. Only once during the life of the expedition has there been what | threatened to become an epidemic. This occurred recently at camp south of headquarters where the water caused a number of cases of amoebic dysentery. When the sick rate climbed to per cent. the chief surgeon and his entire corps were sent from headquarters. quick and ex- haustive study of camp conditions was made and measures were taken which soon reduced the rate to IT per cent. The chief means used in curing the epidemic was the ch1orf- dantion bag. This destroyed the or ganisms in the water which caused the disease. At one time there were 125 cases at the camp mentioned. data it appears that the sick rate in the expedition is less than half that of the United States"
 San Antonio. Aug. 23-Dr. Thomas Darlington, representing the National Civic Federation, has furnished Gen. eral Frederick Funston with a report | on health conditions in the military camps on the border and in Mexico.
 The sick rate is low, said Dr. Dar- | lington.
 'I think that summarizes the situ- ation. Although there is room for constructive work in a medical way. I can truthfully say that the folks i back home need have no fear but what adequate steps are being made by military authorities to safeguard the health of guardsmen who are en- gagged in border service"

HITS RANCHES

THE WASHINGTON AND SCIVAllY
RANCHES IN THE MOUNTAINS
ARE SWEPT BY FIRE WHICH
WIPES OUT PASTURAGE.

T. B. Saunders OF Fort Worth, who
is heavily Interested in the cattle
business, was in the city today from
the Washington and Scivally ranches
in the Arbuckle mountains, and stated
that an old>time prairie fire swept
both places the first Of the week, and
thousands of acres of pasture were
wiped out. Mr.. Saunders says it
will work a hardship upon the cattle
men of that vicinity until grass comes.
r. F. Scivally was not so badly
hurt, as he had a great deal of feed
in silos which will keep his cattle
going until grass comes.
Mr.. Saunders is interested in south
west Texas and states that on ac
count of the drought the weeds, which
were depended. upon to furnish the
cattle with feed in short seasons are
not in evidence, and for that reason
considerable loss may be looked for
there. Rain is badly needed in this
section of the state for small grains
