WITH ARM BROKEN
BALKS AT HOSPITAL
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WOMAN
OBJECTS TO TREATMENT;
AGAINST HER FAITH.

NEW YORK, N. Although suf-
fering from broken arm, a deep
wound in the forehead and other in
juries, sustained when she was knock
ed down by Fifth avenue bus Sun
day, Mrs. Samuel Oracle, of 522 West
158th street, protested against being
taken to hospital, inasmuch as she
was Christian Scientist. 1t was
against her faith, she told the ambu-
lance doctor, to permit hospital facili-
ties TO be utilized in her behalf.
Her protest proved of no avail. DIR.
Alexander Strasberg, of Flower hos
.pital, who perceived upon examina-
tion that the woman was in a serious
condition and that the failure to re-
move her to the hospital might mean
her death, insisted that she go. She
pleaded with him that she be allowed
to go home, after first aid treatment
on the street had been administered.
When the physician explained that was
impossible, she requested that the am
bulance stop at the Christian Science
reading room at $50 Madison avenue,
where she hoped to receive sleeping
accommodations. Room being lacking,
the ambulance continued on its way,
dllu NIP vi dClC Was tdhGu W Il pr
vate room in the hospital.
Mrs. Oracle has been a member of
the Christian Science church for some
years and has spent much of her time
in the reading room of the Third
Church of Christ. Scientist, on Madi-
son avenue, near Sixty-frst street. She
was on her way to fulfill her service
as librarian when the accident occurr-
ed
At the reading room, where the am
bulance made stop on its way, Miss
Roulston, who was pointed out as be-
ing qualified to answer queries, said
that while Mrs Oracle could not be
accommodated from the church be-
cause she was taken to hospital, she
felt that hospital treatment was I'M
necessary. In accident cases, she add
ed, physicians sometimes do render
assistance, even to Christian Scientists.
Dr. Strasberg said that Mrs Oracle
commenced reciting prayers as soon
as she entered the ambulance and con-
tinued them in the emergency room at
the hospital while her wounds were
being cleansed and bandaged.

Uncle Sam Probing
Gold Coast Debauch
Women Prominent in Chicago Society
Accused of Prohibition Violations.

Women Prominent in Chicago Society
Accused of Prohibition Violations.
CHICAGO, Ill.-That women, very
prominent in society, had carried llq-
uor into the Casino club, exclusive
meeting place of the gold coast So
ciety, in violation of state and federal
laws, was the substance of reports
made today by federal investigators.
This club, whose roster carries the
names of men and women known all
Iover the country, is endeavoring to
purge itself of "harem parties" and
similar debauchery at which liquor
flows freely-quite too freely for the
morals and general demeanor of the
participants. Three members have been
expelled for staging these affairs.
In connection with the disclosures in
the Casino club, an officer OF Lake
Forest today told prohibition directors
|of the doings of the petted sons and
daughters of the very wealthy North
Shore residents He related, in partic-
iular, a beach party staged last sum-
mer by a large number of these young
swells from multimillionaire families,
in which the bathers disported them
selves in the lake absolutely nude. This
affair created a great sensation in staid
Lake Forest and was hushed up with
difficulty
The same official said some of the
members of this nude bathing party
spend their spare time doing settle
ment work in the Chicago slums, help
ing to Improve" the morals OF the
wretchedly poor.
These boys and girls have pin
money" allowances ranging from $50
to whatever they demand, monthly
and with lot OF idle time on their
hands and plenty of money they DRIFT
into practices that bring shock to
their jaded minds. Their parents pro-
pose, as one method of REFORM to cut
down their allowances and also put a
snaffle bitt on their lines.

FIapper Brides Shed
Their Golden Bands
Dislike Wearing Marriage Insignia
With Hubby Unmarked, Is Claim.

Dislike Wearing Marriage Insignia
With Hubby Unmarked, Is Claim.
Now they throw away their we'd
ding rings.
The ancient marriage ceremony
started slipping when the independent
bride took the "obey" out of it; and
Fannie Hurst and her clan disposed
of the Mrs" in favor of retaining the
maiden name.
But the last straw was to discard
the wedding ring, as is done by many
brides according to pastor, in one
of the larger cities.
Resent Marriage Insignia.
Modern girls resent the idea that
they are bound by the telltale ring on
the left hand, while friend husband
bears no similar badge, and frequently
the minister is called upon to perform
use of rings, a well-known preacher
declares.
1T is rather a pity, l think, to do
away with this bit of sentiment" he
said.
"The marriage ceremony should be
regarded as something sacred and
solemn, sacred tie between the heart
life of folk. There is too great ten
dency now to hurry over it, regarding
as matter OF business convenience.
Need More Home Spirit.
"The lightness with which modern
young people regard the ceremony is
but an example of the lack of serious
ness.
"The greatest need of America is
revival of the old fashioned Amer
lean home spirit and life. Unless we
have sound homes our social fabric
has no solid foundation"

ROCK ISLAND HEARING
Rquest to Discontinue Nos. 311-2l2
Set for Hutchinson Oct. 10.

October 10 is the date set for the
hearing, by a representative of IL
Kansas Public Utilities Commission
of the request of the Rock Island
railroad for permission to take of
trains No. 81 and 312, operating be-
tween Harrington and Liberal, accord
cording to notices sent out by C. W.
Mittendorf, traffic manager Of the
Hutchinson Chamber Of Commerce,
where the hearing will be held.
The company in its petition to the
utilities commission, stated that the
average income per mile from these
trains was between 33 and 43 cents,
while the operating expenses were 81
a mile. Motor cars and buses, the
company claims, have cut heavily in
to their revenue.
No. 312 leaves Liberal at 2:30 a. m.
arrives at Pratt at TOO, departs at
7:O5, arrives at Hutchinson $3.50 and
at Harrington 1915. No. 81 leaves
Herington about $3.50, arrives at
Hutchinson at $50, at Pratt at 8:15,
leaves here at $40, and arrives at
Liberal at 1:10 a. m. The two trains
connect at Harrington with Kansas
City trains from the south, over the
main line to Oklahoma and Texas.
Most of the towns along the line
are said to be preparing to make
strong protest against the removal
of the trains. Just what part Pratt
will take in the hearing is not known,
but it is presumed big delegation
will go from here.
Should the two trains be taken off,
it will leave only Nos. and 2 to do
local work between Liberal and Her.
ington, as Nos. 8 and a, the "Golden
State Limiteds," do not do local work
on the Ell Paso division.-Pratt Tri-
