LIGHTNING HITS HOUSE;
WIFE DIDN'T KNOW II

ATLANTA, Aug. lightning
struck the house of Mr.. and Mrs. j.
NJ Wadsworth, rs Euclid Terrace,
yesterday while Mrs. Wadsworth was
in the kitchen preparing supper. She
did not know it until she entered the
front of the dwelling to find the
rooms filled with SCOT and fallen plas-
ter and the smell of smoke through
out the building.
The fire department, being called,
soon discovered that the chimney had
been demolished and the roof badly
damaged by the bolt. Mrs. Wadsworth
says if she heard the stroke she didn't
notice it.

She dismissed her chauffeur and
we both rode in my car. She was
about twenty-five or six, but she was
so vivacious and so animated that she
seemed younger. 1t was perfectly de-

We had scarcely ordered when who

Barrett Edmonds.
"Hello, Barry All alone or have
you some fair damsel tucked away
in a corner?" Alice Sloan laughingly
queried.
"Alone and lonesome" he replied
as he shook hands. "But why the
question? Be careful! you are raising
hopes"
Don't be silly Sit down and lunch
with us. Two lone females should ap-

"May II" To my surprise Barrett
addressed the question to me. The
look in his eyes was an appeal for me
to say yes.

that no one else can do for her, and
she uses business judgment of as

place in the public attitude.
previously accepted characteris-
tics of women, such as delicacy,
physical weakness, timidity and ig-
norance Of the facts Of life seemed
trivial. Good health became an as
set to every woman and hence was
possible of realization as never be-
fore"
nd so the women who planned
the conference became convinced
that the women physicians would
have special contribution to make
toward the health Of women and
children.
Increased numbers of women doc
tors were becoming dissatisfied with
the method Of waiting until the pa
tient is sick and curing her by sur
gerry or drugs. They had
come to recognize the need for
the establishment of~thc health and
strength of women on a higher level;

respect over the progress Of women
as physicians, she said:
"When l started practising it
was only the advanced woman who
went to woman physician. The
change in attitude toward the
woman doctor was gradual until
the war came. Then it changed
almost completely. The woman ply
sician now has her place in Eng
land just as much as the man phys
ician.
Another thing that has come out
of the war is greater understand
ing and greater patience with ner-
vous diseases. Women doctors were
always prone to have more SYM
pathy with women's nervous all
mcnts than men were. But the at
titude of even the most unsympa-
thetic men has been changed
through their work with she'll shock.
They saw in the nerve-wrcckcd SOL
diers the same troubles, the same
symptoms that nervous women have
been complaining Of for years. The
change produced by this affliction
in the rugged soldier has arrested
the attention Of even the most hard
encd doctor. The new welfare laws
and public health measures may in
n measure be modified to protect
the shcll-shockcd people Of our

Child Welfare
Her Main Interest


Child Welfare
Her Main Interest
DR.. Lazarevitch's main interest is
in child welfare, but she has had
little chance to do much in it. She
was graduated from the medical
school in Zurich, Switzerland, in
1900. Her mother was a physician
and a graduate Of the same school,.
"The people in my country grow
up expecting war. My mother
worked through several wars and
worked in this last war. For the
last hundred years Serbia has ex-
perienced an intermittent state of
war. Now that we are free of
Turkey we hope that we will be rid
of so much warfare.
"Since before this last war the
country has had such hardship that
it could not attend to the children.
| am ashamed to say so, but we did
not have time. All medical atten-
ton had to be turned toward the
soldiers. With the united kingdom
now we may be able to do some
constructive work.
In fact, child welfare plans were
started while the government was
in exile. At Corfu a child welfare

bureau was inaugurated, and when
it is moved back to Belgrade its
projects. will be worked out. From
Washington I have sent back to my
country accounts of the way in
which child welfare is carried out
here.
"The United Kingdom Of the
Jugo-Slavs, which is now my coun-
try, consists of the Serbs, the
Croats and the Slovenes. Life is
very precious there now. So many
have been lost in war and the dis
eases Of war that the lives of our
children are valued highly. The
birth rate fell so during the war that
there are few children under five
years Of age. Then Of these chill
dren, upon whom depends the fu-
ture Of the nation, great numbers
are orphans. There are in my
country 10000 children who have
lost both parents and 100000 half
orphans You see, that explains
why we are so interested in child
welfare.
"Child welfare is distinctly
women physicians work. That and
preventive health work are the lines
in which women do best"
DR.. Lazarevitch is young and de-
cidedly attractive. She has light
hair and her delicacy and refinement
suggest generations of patrician an
cestors. Undoubtedly her study of
welfare progress and methods in
this country will mean something in
the upbuilding Of her own country's
children.

Il have observed that girls who

with the excuse that they had poor

general ailmcnt. This same ten
dency to say that they were aiiing
has followed them into their factory

There is great field here in
education for the industrial nurse
and the woman physician who come
IN contact with these women. Il
has been my experience that indus

1t must be given them Indirectly
"A woman recently said that n q

superintendent remark that he could
not understand why tho women had

ately set about to study tho repor1
on feminine production and found
that they were below tho standard

But what was the trouble7 She

"Vague ideas and theories about
