trunk in his jaws at the start, ac-
cording to DR.. Ditmars, the elephant
wouldn't have chance.
Telling how Ivan almost escaped
a few years ago, Pete said recentlv:
There was a stump of an old
tree rooted in the rocks at the ton
and rear of 1vans cage. He used
to climb up on that stump. One day
ne stood erect and, reaching up,
grasped with his tremendous paws
the verhang Of the three-quarter-
inch steel bars. These are pointed
to prevent him from climbing over.
Ivan kept pulling and in a few sec
onds the overhang snapped off
short. He might have gotten out
then, but he lost interest for a time
and we hustled him off to another
corner and pulled the stump.

Problems Are Great

The problems confronting a COM
plete maternity service such as
yours, located where there are so
many different nationalities to deal
with, are especially numerous and
the benefits Of the service are corre-
spondingly great. 1t has been NV
experience that a mother will be in
fuenced by what nurse says much
more than by the directions of the
doctor, the health officer or the in
spector. The inspector and the
health officer who pass on deficien-
cles sound to her like the police. But
the nurse, the mother feels, only
wants to be helpful. A nurse, prop
erly trained, it seems to me, can do
more constructive work in the health
field than any other agency of which
l know. The sanitarian does not
have the individual view of disease
ne has the community view-and the
visiting nurse is that sort Of health

doctor. She is. interested in prevent
ing the spread of disease and in i'm
proving home surroundings to make
Tor better health. She not only
creates health standard, but she
elevates the whole level of sanitary
living
The only way to teach people Of
little knowledge and experience is 5y
demonstration, by actually showing
them how to do things. For to such
people word is practically mean
ingless without a demonstration. If
the mother sees how the nurse does
1t and then, as is the practice of the
Henry Street service. the nurse in
turn watches while the mother re-
peats the practical lesson, the
mother will learn, where she never
could have been taught through
printed work, lecture or an in
spector.

increased health. Women need fierce
physical exercise daily in the open.
Notice, for instance, any afternoon
on Fifth Avenue, business men walk
ing along, throwing out their chests
and breathing in the air properly,
while women go teetering along on
high heels.

great lesson Of carefully looking to

this, more and more,~ ~as they enter
business and take on more of )ife,s
responsibilities.
II believe one reason for nv
splendid health, for / can pet
through heaps of work without feel
ing exhausted, is due to NV work
on the farm at Richfield, where we
have large place and where I spend
the better part of the summer
months. AS chairman of the Garden

farmerette movement in the vicinity
OF Richfeld, and 1 know from nv
experience and that of the farmer

woman's health. She cannot fullv
appreciate it until she has actually
experienced this benefit to health and
likewise to her general welfare"

It, Get Health, Is Mrs. Hepburn's Advice to Womer

Mrs. Hepburn recently has con-
sented to act as chairman Of the
woman's campaign committee of the
Navy Club.
All this means that Mrs. Hepburn
must keep five Separate sets of
books and that in the course of the
present year she will handle a good
many hundred thousands of dollars.
A Home Job, Too
II hesitated about the last job"
said Mrs. Hepburn, "for you know
I'm housewife and have home to
look after, and l do not believe in
accepting a position I cannot give
the attention it deserves.
Naturally, all these duties mean
the expenditure of an amount of
physical energy that many men
would shrink from. But Mrs. Hep

appears not to mind the strain. How
can she do it? She says she has
learned the lesson all American
women must learn if they are going
to keep up with the pace set by mod
ern conditions. This lesson is the
care of the health through outdoor
exercise.
"One thing that is going to tell
tremendously in woman's greater
efficiency" said Mrs. Hepburn, "is

The Nurses Job

"One of the values of visiting
nurse service is, of course, that it
aims to leave no gap in the education
Of the mother and the care of the
child. The most effective way to
work is to begin with the prenatal
stage and later carry on the post
natal work. SO that the mother and
baby have the best chance. In fol-
lowing that method the baby is given

and makes toothpicks out of them
in about four bites.
For single meal Ivan consumes
twenty loaves of stale bread and
from five to ten pounds of fresh
beef. Sometimes he takes as many
as eight loaves of bread in his
enormous jaws at one time. This
doesn't completely satisfy his hunger
either, for he spends most of his
waking moments groaning at. visi-
tors in an effort to excite their SYM

A Big Work
"But this Navy Club for the en-
listed men, where they may find
comfortable home when on shore
leave, is the only one of its kind in
the country. The club, which was
started by Mrs. William H. Hamil-
ton when we entered the war, rem
dered such valuable service that the
men of the navy appealed to Mrs.
Hamilton and members of her COM
mittee to continue it, as they de-
clared it was needed as much now
as if not more than during the war
days, when New York's hospitality
was showered upon the sailors and
soldiers passing through the city.
Il think this club is of the great
est Importance not only to the men
themselves but to the community as
we'll. The navy attained "a high

Afraid of Responsibility

ou ask why more women are
not heard of in big financial and
business interests" queried Mrs.
Hepburn, who, though she has a big
home and social duties to occupv a
considerable part of her time, does
mans work without any "fuss or
feathers" Zone reason why more
women are not willing to assume
business responsibilities is because
they are too timid.
Most women shrink from encoun-
tering work that will weigh them
with responsibility in these particu-
lar fields, where they have had little
or no experience. I think this is
largely the reason for their rejection
of such Offices that would compel
them to account for or manage large
sums Of money.
"We are always fearful of the
thing we do not understand. I do
not mean to imply that women are
cowardly. Not at all. Once they
understand a thing thoroughly it
will absorb their interest to the point

Recently Ivan's cage was filled
with ice and snow. A huge cake of
ice filled his bath tub and drinking

for the statement that the big bear
grasped a projection of the big ice
cake in his jaws, and, despite the
fact that it weighed at least half
ton, he swung it out of the hole and,
still holding it in his jaws, walked
across his cage and deposited it out

II believe every woman who has
some leisure time should devote it to
some work for the common good, !"
continued Mrs. Hepburn. "It is her
duty as an American citizen. 1t is
also duty she owes to herself. I
cannot see, in these times, how any
woman can be happy who has it
within her power to help and indo-
lently turns her back on the CRYING

fact that made woman long to, CAP

duty as a citizen is a shirker, and
as such she loses more by her in
