& T 637 Madison Avenue are the offices
u Of the American Women's Hospitals.
an association organized by the War
Service Committee of the Medical Women's
National Association.
The American Womens Hospitals is unique
in several respects, but first Of all it is the only
place in the United States that is a clearing
house for all women physicians who NAV
register rs willing to do war service either
at home or abroad. SO quietly has the move
ment been carried forward that little is known
outside of medical circles of the splendid work
these women are doing.
The association was formed shortly after
the return of DR.. Rosalie Slaughter Morton
from France and Serbia, where her notable
services were recognized by decoration pre-
sented by the Serbian government When in
Europe DR.. Morton was so impressed with
the activities of the Scottish Women's Hos
pitals and the British Medical Women thai
she determined to form an association along
these lines As a result the American Won-
ems Hospitals has been organized, with the
approval of the Surgeon General of the Army
and of Dr.. Richard Pearce, director general
Of the department of military relief of th.
American Red Cross.
NJ the present LlieC Cnefe are thlfIN-tWO
women physicians and ten lay workers who
have sailed under the auspices of the Ameri-
can Womens Hospitals and under the direc-
ton of the Red Cross. Those who attended
the salIings Of steamers on October ii and %,
November and 16 December 10, and Febru-
ary and II may have seen the uniformed
women physicians sailing from the A. W H. to
report at the BED Cross headquarters in Paris
Vt the present time there are two thousand
physicians registered ready to do war
work either here or abroad, and in consider
ing our duties across the water this assoca-
ton has not forgotten the United States, for
constantly there are coming in requests for
physicians in different parts of this country.
Recently the American Women's Hospitals
received a call for physician to serve as
medical examiner of the women working in
The l. l. du Pont de Nemours Company's
plant at Carney's Point, Penn Also the Ohio
VALLEY Hospital at Wheeling, ". Va has sent
to them for women internes. These have been
supplied.
H. Marion c. Stevens, dentist, sailed with
New-York tribune., 1918-03-03

without leaving her Office or home during the
war, if she SO desires.
For instance, there are three hundred woman
dentists in the United States who, for the las.
two and half months, have been donating
their services to the government. The chair
man of this committee, DR.. De Lam Kinney,
has been devoting many hours each day to
putting the teeth of soldiers in condition. DR..
Kinney has done much dentistry at the
Army General Hospital No. for the thou
sands of soldiers going into camp and abroad,
and 1t is in such work that the three hundred
woman dentists are assisting.
Then there are the members of soldiers
families who need attention. The type of
person who has been used to going to the
clinic is not included under this head, but
those who have been accustomed to private
attention and find their funds too low to be
able to afford proper medical attendance are
looked after by those women physicians who
are listed in the division for the care of de-
pendants of soldiers. This problem has been
solved by enlisting the aid Of the women in
thirty-eight states who are willing to give at
least hour a day gratuitously or for an
especially small and considerate "soldier's
rate" In the majority of cases no fee is
accepted.
One line of work that is decidedly important,
but which does not come much to the notice of
the public, is done in the clinical laboratories.
The chairman of this committee, DR.. Martha
Wolsten of New York, has formed COM
mittee of the leading woman pathoogists
throughout the United States These women
are recommended for service as bacteriolo-
gists pathologists and labortary technicians.
Fifteen requests have come to the American
Womens Hospitals to supply as many bacte-
biologists for zones surrounding cantonments
and camps, and recently the word has come
from Washington that only women will be-
sent abroad for this service. The Red Cross
has undertaken to guard the food and water
supply of these districts, and as result
great deal of this laboratory work must be
done.
AS the internment of the enemy aliens in
the United States increases, especially if they
are interned with their families, the physi-
clans of this association may be called on to
work in those zones The plan has been
formed and can be put into active operation
in twenty-four hours to send out physicians

is as out-of-date as an anh-sufraglsC and
difficult to discover as the proverbial needle
in the hay NOV. And as for alcoholic bever-
ages. have only to that if that exclusive
concoction which is known as the Bronx cock
tail should ever dare show its face on its native
heath it would only prove the truth of the old
saying anent prophet in his own country.
And it goes without saying that the pace set
by Mrs. Social Leader is followed by every
other woman in the community, and as Mrs.
Social Leader has seen fit to adopt Mr.. Hoover
as her patron saint one may safely predict
that that gentleman's image will in time be
enshrned in every kitchen in Bronxvlle.
The help which the children have given to
the Thrift Campaign is incalculable A great
deal of this is attributed to the influence Of
Mr. Haf, the principal of the Bronxvi1le
school. Thanks to Mr.. Haff that school is q
perfect hotbed of patriotism, and it is per-
fectly evident that no child who imbibes that
atmosphere for five hours every day is going to
sit calmly by and see even the least important
of our war food laws broken or ignored in hts
family. Mr.. Haffs latest scheme was the
issuing on the 18th of January of thrift
pledges. TIE child who signed this pledge
promised not to buy candy, ice cream or sodr
for month and to use the money thus saved
to buy thrift stamps. The pledge was on-
tional, but it accepted by very large
majority of the pupils and on Lincon's Birth
day, which marked the end of the month OF
abstemiousness, an honor roll made up of the
names of those pupils who had kept the pledge
was read at q public meeting.
And right here I might say that in all its
work but particularly its thrift work the
committee has the cooperation not only of the
school but of the churches and clubs and the
weekly newspaper. This paper, "The Bronx
vile Review" carries in every issue column
or more Of what is called Thrift News This
column is Of great value to the campaign. as it

speak German, Hungarian or Turkish, are Of
undoubted loyalty to the United States, and
will be of especial value in such cases
This association has even gone so far as to
nave in readiness equipment for hospitals that
may be established here for the care of
convalescent cases of men returning from the
war. There is committee army hospitals
in the home zone, of which DR.. Amra Smith,
of Boston, is chairman. In Boston two hos
pitals are in readiness for convalescent cases.
The Women's Army General Hospital of New
York has its personnel and equipment re-
corded in the War Department in Washington
They have been told by Surgeon General
Gorgas that they will be notified when this
is needed and that it has the same status a,
other army hospitals in the home zone This
equipment is ready when it is needed and may
be set up wherever the site is selected by the
government.
The American Women's Hospitals is work
ing constantly in close connection with the
Red Cross, which sends to them for names
and credentials of woman physicians and asks
for women in every branch of service that has
to do with medical science-and they get what
they ask for.
Among the woman physicians who have
sailed are those who have occupied such I'M,
portant posts as DR.. Blair, of Pittsburgh, resi-
dent in charge Of the Childrens Hospital of
Staten Island and for sixteen years superin-
tendent of the women's wards of the Dix
mont Hospital for the Insane: Dr. Nevn, a
well-known bacterioogist, sailed with her two
sons, who in the ambulance corps; Dr..
Ethel Heard, of Galveston, Tex, for seven
years in charge of the pathological laboratory
of the John Sealy Hospital, of the Teachers
Hospital of the University of Texas and DR..
Esther Parker. of Cornell, who was the examn-
ing physician and medical adviser to the
of Cornell and vice president of the
Tompkins Medical Society.
Such is the farreaching work at home and
abroad Of the women connected with the Amer
lean Women's Hospitals.
When they sail from America they do moi
know their destination, save that they land in
France and report in Paris to the Red Cross
Headquarters. From the Red Cross they may
be sent to any part of Europe where their
services most needed. Sometimes group
is sent out, but more frequently they go singly
to do their work in the devastated regions of
any of the invaded countries.

The thrift committee in Bronxville recog

for wartime entertaining. She was asked to
make war bread and war cake the fashion for
afternoon teas; to abolish expensive entertain
ments and coniine herself to simple dinners,
little home dances and card parties, with the
simplest sort of refreshments, and to cut out
alcoholic beverages. And she fell into line
