very bad if this is taken away"
When members of the medical fra
ternity were timidly approached for an
opinion they cast aside scruples against
publicity and expressed Willingness to
be quoted in words of derision and
sccrn mixed with doubt and fear on
the possible blotting out of the Bureau
Of Laboratories. 1t simply wasn't
thinkablc! Didn't the Mayor know
that this bureau was doing more direct
work to help win the war than any
other branch Of the city government?
1t is said that thrce-fourths Of the
anti-toxin used by the Allies since war
began has been supplied by the New
York City Board Of Health. Our own
army all over the United States and
abroad is using it's serums and vac
cnes-l00000 doses of tetanus anti
toxin, 10000 dcses of diphtheria anti
toxin, $4,000 anti-menngitis serum and
1000 antipneumona arc a few figures

Mayors Attempt to
Disrupt Department
Denounced by Ply
sicians and Labor
Leaders as Menace
to Public Welfare
Rv Anne Lewis Pierce and Marie
de Montalvo

rF THERE is any one in favor OF
Mayor Hylan's plan to dismember
the Health Department and set up
miniature bureaus in the five different
boroughs, he has gone into hiding. he
can't be found. And, judging from
Mayor Hy,an's retreat from one salient
to another, as his position OF attack
is rendered untenable, we doubt II ne
is very enthusiastic about the matter
himself at the present writing.
His original intention was the re-
moval of heads of bureaus. Their APP
nointments, he claimed, had been lille
gally made, and the civil service was
invoked. But as all the directors were
able to prove that they had passed civil
service examinations, it became obvl-
GUS that to displace them their de-
nartments would have to be destroyed
on the ground that these departments
were not required by the original
charter.
The next idea, then, was to dispense
with all seven bureaus not named IN
the city charter of 1898, which made
only two of them mandatory SAM
tary Bureau and the Bureau OF Rec
ords. DR.. S. Josephine Bakers world
famous work in child hygiene was to
have been wiped out, and DR.. Harrls's
department on preventablc diseases
with the other five, had not publicity
and swift and overwhelming storm OF
public disapproval proved that in these
two cases at least the Mayors intended
course OF action would be a serious
political error.
There is war. Men arc dying IN
Europe. The City of New York's Board
of Health is supplying great part OF
the antitoxins used for the soldiers OF
the United States and our Allies. Yet
Mr.. Hylan wants to abolish the Bu-
reau of Laboratories, under DR.. Will
lam H. Park, where these antitoxlns
are made

DR.. Park $ Work
With Anti Toxin

II cannot imagine worse folly than
trying to do without the work of
DR.. Park, of the Bureau of Labora.
tories. remember that when that
German Behring patented the anti
toxin tor diphtheria in Germany, and
tried to patent it. in order to reap
large profits, in the United States as
we'll, Park went to work and found
a way to make it that was not only
different from the method Behring
used, but very much bctter SO he
was able to break the patent and in
sure the use Of the anti-toxin for all
who needed it, rich and poor alike.
He is responsible also for the estab-
lishment of the diagnostic laboratory
in diphtheria cases, which was the en-
tering wedge of this very beneficent
work of the New York Health Board -
pioneer work in fighting diphtheria-
and model not only for the entire
United States but for Europe as we'll.
AS for the Bureau of Foods and
Drugs-the poor man and his children
have been saved from disease and death
many times by food inspection. New
York City stands at the top as health
resort. Its mortality is lower than that
of the rest of the state--lower than
that of country districts. in spite of
its ovcrcrowding and other problems.
IL tne h.ailn WORK that makes 1t
possible for the poor man to obtain
just as pure food and water as the
rich man is impaired, the city as a
dwelling place will become. 81 some
have already said, attractive only to
millonaires!"

There is no praise too strong for

People Have Learned
Necessity for Work

When tuberculosis in 1894 was first
made a reportable disease and the rule
established that tuberculous patients
must be taken care Of by the city, If
they were not being properly looked
after at home, there were riots IN the
city because people did not know what
it all meant, and didn't want their SICK
relatives removed to hospitals.
1t was ignorance that made them re-
sist q law that was made to help them
it is knowledge now that has shown
them the necessity and the marvel of
this great work to save the nation
from the white mans plague. Yet
Mayor Hylan would cast out the Bu
reau OF Public Health Education, of
which the director is DR.. Charles F.
Bolduan, and with it presumably the
great system of teaching the people, by
lectures, publications, exhibits and mo-
ton pictures, how to take care care of
themselves.
Food is needed for the army. In
order to send it to them a Federal
food administration has been created
to regulate FOODS, their conservation
and distribution. Yet the Bureau of
Food and Drugs, under Lucius P
Brown, which investigates hundreds OF
cases Of adulteratiom and food spoil
age every day and collaborates with
the Federal administration, was to be
destroyed by Mayor Hylan.

doned.
One gun of large calibre, but ancient
make, was then left to the attacking
party with which to destroy the health
work of the city, the time-honored &C
cusation of graft. Nothing daunted by
the fact that any bureau with inspec-
tors and police power is sure to make
enemies If it has used its power. sure
to have keen offered brides, and sure
TO have employed at some time men
capable of accepting bribes-because of
the eternal frailty Of human nature
Mayor Hylan went in search of am

T1Y ALL the rules, the woman mu-
~ nitions worker has size and
muscle, oily overalls and smudge
across her nose. She manipulates pow
erful machines, and her foreman has
communicated to the world that won-
an mechanic is as good any day as a
man, even if it did take a war to
prove it.
But history is swift nowadays, and
there comes a new cntrant into the
field of war industries-a trim little
person in a Georgette blouse and high
heeled pumps, the daintiest soldier in
all the ranks arrayed against the
Kaiser. She is the girl who works on
aeroplanes for American aviators, and
one of the requirements of the job is
that she shall have small hands! For
small hands and a delicate touch are
better than a larger, stronger fist when
the small parts of a plane wing have
to be sandpapered, when neat, careful
stitches have to be taken in the linen
wing covering; when tiny, regular
holes have to be bored in an engine
bonnet.
Airesses Work
Nine Hours Day
There's a division of the aeroplane
army at Elizabeth, N. j.. and one at
Plalnfield, both of the Standard Air
craft Corporation, under government
supervision and control. There, in big,
sunny glass houses, set right down in
the thick of New JERSEY mud, the "air-
esses' work nine hours day, six DAYS
week, and overtime il there's an
emergency to be met. The girls out at
Elizabeth and Plainfeld are patriotic,
and though you might think they are
OF Broadway to look at their clothes,
you know they are of the war zone
when You see their faces And so they
sew and paint and file and hammer,
stern and quiet, steady and unhurried
turning out perfect parts of the great
mechanical bird that authorities saw is
going to win the war for us.
Some of them work with the clean
white spruce of which the frame of the
machine is made, smoothing it off with
fine files. Others are in the sweet
heavy atmosphere of the finishing
room, where an odor of banana oil as
sails the nostrils. Others sit primly
at their sewing, surely the most
decorous of all the tasks in a material
of-war plant. And one group, without
a nerve in their bodies, apparently
stand and file steel all day, making the
shrill, shrieking noises of steel scran-
ing steel, with the screnest faces in the
whole factory.

All Of these are drawing room Jobs
