REVEAL HORRORS
OF FLU IN SOUTH
Red Cross Tells Some In
cidents Heretofore
Held Back

ATLANTA, March 12.-So dis
tressing were conditions in many
places in the southeast during the
height of the influenza epidemic that,
in one town, nurse entered home
where three children were ill in bed
with the body of baby that had been
dead for several days, other members
of the family beng unable TO re-
move it or to notify neighbors be-
cause all were down with flu.
This was one of the more grew
some incidents mentioned in a stare-
ment made public today at southern
division headquarters Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, declaring that the in
huenza epidemic has subsidized great
ly throughout the southeast and
should be over soon, and giving a
vivid picture of some of the TRACE
dies, difficulties and hardships en-
countered by Red Cross nurses in
lighting the disease.
The statement revealed that the
seriousness of the situation was in
creased in many cases by the ignor-
ance and superstition of the poor
victims who had been taught that
fresh air was fatal to recovery, that
baths should never be taken when
one had fever and that such medieval
methods as blistering the breast and
then applying cold collard leaves
from the garden, were the best cures.
Situation Better.
I'VE are thankful to say that near
ly all of our nurses report the situa-
tion is much better now," says the
statement. ''It is under control
everywhere, it has been stamped out
wholly in some localities, and we
have every reason to believe that it
will soon be banished from southeast,
for this year, at least"
At the crest of the influenza wave,
the statement says, every Red Cross
nurse in the southern division was en-
gagged in fighting the disease. The
majority of them were called upon to
do public nursing, going from hos
pitfalls and private homes where condi-
tions were ideal for nursing into iso-
lated districts where whole counties,
raved by influenza, depended almost
wholly on them for help and where
the nurse had nothing but her own
resources on which to draw.
One nurse, sent to Florida, rode
twenty miles in the caboose of an en-
gine to reach the place to which she
was assigned. 1t was a logging camp,
town of three hundred where there
were more than one hundred cases of
influenza and only one doctor. An
other nurse writes that she went on
duty at one morning and did not
stop until 8 o'clock in the evening
of the day following. Then she slept
only six hours, going out again for
another twenty-four hour stretch.
Such hours, states division headquar-
ters, are typical rather than unusual
of the experiences of the average

and later foreign mission secretary
of the Southern Presbyterian church;
DR.. James ! Vance, of Nashville,
Tenn, chairman of the Southern
Presbyterian Foreign Mission Board;
Mrs. W, c. Winsborough, of st. Louis,

Judge Anderson, rural survey su-
pervisor for Georgia, gave some start
ling facts concerning religious, edu-
cational and social conditions in
Georgia. Judge Anderson and his
assistants for months have been max
ing surveys county by county. Here
are some of the facts brought out by
the survey.
In total population of 10000
distributed over eight typical Geor-
gia counties there are 313 churches,
or one for every 352 inhabitants.
Each person averages the payment of
81 cents per year or a tiny fraction
more than one cent a week for the
support of the preacher, ten cents a
year for home missions and eight
cents for foreign missions. This is a
total of rs cents year per capita
for church support.
Only one person in four is a nomi-
nal church member and but one in
six is active in church work. One
person in eight is enrolled in some
Sunday school and one in ten attends
regularly. Two of every three Sun
day school members live on farms.

ATLANTACARMEN
IGNOREOWN PACT
Refuse To Accept Ruling
And Are Outlawed
By Union

ATLANTA, March 12-Various eff
forts to end the street car strike here
which has made idle every local and
interurban car have thus far failed.
The strikers were ordered yester-
day by their international officers to
return to work on the ground that
they had violated their agreement to
abide by arbitration, but at mass
meeting the men voted to ignore the
order. The mems leaders asserted
that the Is per cent wage increase
granted by the arbitration board
would not provide Giving wage"
They had demanded fifty per cent
raise. About 1,100 employees are af-
fected.
Conferences between officials of the
company and union leaders failed of
result and Harry H. Atkinson, chair
man of the board of directors of the
company, issued a statement declar-
ing that since the union has violat-
ed solemn contract" that the issue
now is one of claw and order and
Americanism, or chaos and anarchy
and radicalism."
The Chamber Of Commerce direc-
tors adopted resolutions condemning
the strike and calling on the At
lanta Federation of Trades to take a
similar stand The latter met but
took no action.
The local recruiting office has sup
piled a number of "hop-on" cards
which are being carried by automo-
bile owners at the request of the
Atlanta Automobile Association. This
has served to help the situation ma
terially.
A petition in which appeal is made
to the company and union to compose
their differences and give the city SER
vice have been placed at down town
locations. The paper also pledges the
signers to voluntarily operate cars if
relief is not given by an hour to be
fixed later. Several hundred of the
younger business men have signed, it
is stated
The Marietta Rotary club adopted
a resolution condemning the strike
and calling on the company not to
give in to the strikers who have tied
up the transportation, but to take ad-
vantage of the occasion to inaugu-
rate the "open shop" plan.

Red Cross nurse during the epidemic.
The typical service of q nurse is
summed up in a report from the
health officer of one county, who
wrote division headquarters that the
nurse visited three homes daily on
the average, saw six patients in each
home and travelled twenty miles a
day. During her 10 days in the coun-
ty, he said, she visited As homes, at
tended 270 patients and travelled 375
miles in all. "She is a Jewel, and if
we have the flu next year. we want
her sure" he said.
The distances that had to be gone
were one of the chief hardships of
the nurses. One nurse wrote that she
was in a town where there were no
means of transportation at all, and
that she had to walk up hill and down
for many miles daily, visiting home
after home.
When the nurse reached a commun-
ity, she generally found it all but
stricken by the disease. The
first thing she did was to organize
the community, start canteens and
soup kitchens to going, secure plenty
of volunteer help and see that there
was some one in every home to do the
household duties where members of
the family were all sick. In this
work she often had the cooperation
of the local Red Cross chapter, many
of which did splendid service in fight
ing the flu.
Pitiable Conditions.
The incident of the baby found
dead in bed with sick children, was
not much worse than others reported.
1t was common thing, states the
head of the department of nursing,
for the nurses to find as many as five
people sleeping cross-wise in bed with
every window closed tight and not a
breath of fresh air in the room. One
mother, i'll with three sick children in
bed with her, explained that they did
not thus sleep normally, but that she
got sick first and that as each of the
children would get sick, they would
''go to mother" and she, poor woman,
did not have the strength to keep
them away.
"The ignorance and superstition in
some of the more isolated districts
was pitiful," says the statement. "It
was very hard to make these people
believe that a breath of fresh air
would not kill them or that they could
use water. Some of them had gone
for weeks without a bath, believing
it would be fatal when they had fever.
One old man had his feet tied to-
gether with an onion poultice' tied
to their soles. He said he thought it
would draw the pain from his chest.
One old-fashioned practitioner was
ministering Spanish FLU poulties' to
his patients. They burned blisters a
foot long after which he dressed
them with cold collard leaves. Often
these were gritty and set up infection,
making an open sore. The nurse in
this case refused to countenance his
methods and only by threatening to
have him arrested was she able to stop
such treatment. Such handicaps on
the part of doctors were infreuuent
however, for practically everywhere
the physicians worked like Trojans.
though not infrequently there would
be only one doctor to town or coun-
ty of several thousand"
