C.. &C. Inspections

The State Board of Charities and
Corrections has made the following
report of recent inspections Of in
situations:
Waldo County General Hospital
The Waldo County General Hospi-
tai was incorporated March rs, 1901
and has been in active operation
since 1904 The superintendent is
Miss Ruth Coombs. since September,
1918. Other employees are two pupil
nurses. janitor and cook. Two Bel
fast physicians each serve three
months in turn. Other physicians are
associated with them. but live too far
away to visit it regularly.
The location is excellent. The
buildings need extensive repairs.
The last inspection showed: while
the hospital was fairly clean. there
was more dust and similar evidences
of lack of careful housekeeping than
should be observed in hospital. In
justice to the superintendent it
should be said that this is perhaps
due to the small number Of employees.
1t can hardly be expected that a su-
perintendent and two pupil nurses
can keep in readiness for occupancy
at all times a hospital which has a
capacity for say, 20 patients.
Recommendations-This commun-
ity is divided against itself. While
the hospital is open to all physicians
in good standing, only part IF the
physicians in Waldo county, to which
this is actually the most accessible
hospital take their patients there.
Effort should be made to elect a
board of directors which the COM
munity will feel represents. not some
section Of the population, but the en-
tire community, a board Of directors
which can so manage the hospital
that it will be patronized by ma
jority Of the physicians, and patients
of the physicians, Of the entire coun-
ty. This suggestion Is not meant as
a criticism Of the fitness of the mem
bers of the present board for their
positions. they are doing the best
they can under the circumstances.
but, they are hampered by the fact
that the whole community Is not be-
hind them.
Reference was made, above to the
small number of employees. Doubtless
the number Is as large as the patron
age Of the hospital will warrant, but
It is not large enough to properly
care for a plant Of this size. Even
the value Of the training which the
pupil nurses will receive. with SO
small a number Of patients. Is ques-
tionable. Either the prices charged
, or the number Of paying patients
must be considerably increased, or
the hospital must receive very ma
terial gifts Of money to. be expended
in making up the deficit caused by
caring for a larger number of free
patients. Doubtless there would be
plenty of the latter. If the hospital
had the confidence and support of all
the physicians in the county, or even
the major portion of them.

one car for use or the promise II
any. What the cause is for this
freight tie-up is not actually known
here, but it is hoped that the situa-

that is beautiful in her. I keep
telling her i is a godsend to be
at an end with the cad instead of
worrying and crying over the loss
of him. But all the advice her
family and friends offer seems to
give her little comfort"
It's a typical situation, this con-
f1ict between a sweet-natured, ten
der-hearted woman with a big
capacity for loving. and a man who
prefers the little thing he calls his
freedom" to the deep realities Of
life. And the man wins and the
woman suffers and the world
Scolds.
It's pretty nearly a tragedy
when a woman whose urge is to
take the great plunge into life
itself finds that she must abide
by the cool and canny decision of a
man who wants liberty to pursue
his neat trivial bachelor habits
good deal more than he wants the
supreme adventure of life.
It's tragic, that is, if a woman
takes it in the tragic way, as wo-
men usually have taken it. AS the
girl described in this letter has
taken it. AS the loye-starved
heroines of those endless village
wooings have taken it.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Workers
Especially for Washington Women

yVIHOSE fault is it when
w courtships drag on their
weary length for ten,
fifteen, even twenty, years." a
Washington woman wrote me the
other day.
There's always something wrong
in such a case. the rest Of the
world maintains. Somebody is to
be blamed. And instinctively we
blame the man. We blame his
selfishness, his timidity, his pru-
dence.
But is that the only way to look
at it?
You know how romantic an at
tachment Of months duration
seems to families, friends, neigh
bors. You're familiar With the en-
thusiasm almost the ecstasy, with
which the circle of privileged on
lockers regards a youthful pair
who never saw each other until
few weeks ago and who expect to
be married in three months. Their
interest is so headlong that they
seem almost to be a part of the
love affair.
The brisk movement Of the thing,
the swiftly approaching climax, is
enthralling to the spectators, as it
Is to the lovers themselves.
But haven't you noticed how this
interest wanes if marriage, perhaps
even any mention of marriage, is
deferred for several years.
Must Romance "Step Lively"
It's romantic and thrilling TO
Glove at first sight"-to marry in
haste"
But somehow the romance oozes
out of a situation that seems to
have come to a standstill. Onlook-
ers get tired and bored and the
lovers themselves. having lost the
vi lbCIl
begin to seem queer" if not act
us1ly a little ridiculous.
IL you've ever lived in d village
you're sure to have seen at least
one conspicuous case OF this kind.
A faded, middle-aged Martha, who
has spent half lifetime in won-
dering whether or not she was
really engaged to taciturn
Henry, bald-headed now, and more
than a little stout who plainly pre-
fers her to any other woman-and
who stops at that.
Wednesday and Sunday are
"Henry's nights" as they have
been for years. Henry comes
promptly on those evenings, and
he brings his troubles with him,
for he knows he can court on
Martha's sympathy. So night after
night Martha listens to tales of
mothers rheumatism and the way
The Washington times., 1919-01-20

tragedies. He was always good
to me" the woman will say OF the
man who accepted her devoted
friendship and devotion for half
lifetime and gave her nothing in
return. Il never promised to
marry her." the man will say,
making his tardy and furtive get
away from a situation where love,
loyalty, every generous emotion,
should firmly hold him.
And yet-is the tragic dreariness
OF one Of these long and futile at
tachments wholly a mans fault?
| should like to preach to women
on the sin Of being passive and
spiritless.
Don't Spend Your Life Waiting.
Too many of US assume, as the
writer of this letter assumes, that
the whole matter always rests with
the man.
We've surely outgrown the day
when a girls whole duty was TO
sit and embroider, iooking as art
lessly bewitching as possible, and
wait for a gallant Suito- 10 knock
imperiously at the door. We know
that a woman ough. to plan her
own life, to make her own decis-
ions.
The idea that a woman may
properly wait ten or fifteen years,
passively and gently, while a man
makes up his mind whether or not
he even wishes to become en-
gagged to her, is certainly anything
but a modern one. A woman WHO
does not take the situation into
her own capable hands long be-
fore the end of any such pro-
tracted period, invites tragedy,
though no one could be cruel
enough to say that she deserves IT.
A normal woman wants mLre
than the bi-weekly visits of a eau
tious bachelor. She wants lie,
love, motherhood. And if she
decides to forfeit the big exper;-
enceS because of love for the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., she ought
to know pretty well what she is
about. That is, it ought 10 be her
decision, not his.
| don't see why a man who re-
CARDS marriage as a steel trap
should be urged to marry. In
fact, he's the kind who shouldn't
marry. Only a girl who's unfor-
tunate enough to be preferred by
him should take good care not to
fall in love with him. Let her
receive him without sentiment or
special interest merely as an oc-
casional visitor. Let her take any
attitude except that of waiting
long meaningless years for him to
come to the point"
Girls of the coming generation
will see that in cases of this sort,
a man isn't wholly to blame. That
the woman is at fault, too.
"Twenty-year waits for a man
to make up his mind will be
pretty much cut Of fashion then.
