When the war developed the medical
unit. which came from America. it
marked the first real welfare work in
Palestine. Today it is going forward
at a rapid pace.
The chief work is being accom-
plished by the Hada ssah (Women's S
Zionist Organization, an organization
conducted through the efforts of wom-
en-. of which Miss Henrietta Sold OF
New York is head, and has been made
possible partly through the gifts of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Straus. (This

order to reach them you must go
through the narrow streets where YOU
will find the novels of the pauper and
where the Miserere is sung in the
hearts of the people almost day and
night-suffering souls whose daily
grind is merely the business of hand
to-mouth existence.
There is no tragedy so tragic as the
poor of Jerusalem. There is no ghetto
in all the world so silently suffering
as is found here. Hearts Of stone
would be made TO bleed at the sight
that greets YOU from these holes in
the rocks called homes. where four

Oasis i'm Misery's Desert.
So through this medley of misery,
through winding archways and on
streets where the NaZarene trod, We
were finally led into little oasis in
the desert of destitution-the welfare
station, clean and orderly with its
white and blue paint. You breathed
d sigh Of relief. Here was something
that would finally penetrate the dark
holes and give light to poverty
stricken people.
AS stood there I watched hundreds
of small bottles of infants food being
prepared and given to mothers. And
l saw the babies being weighed. care
fully examined by doctors and nurses.
I saw the smiles of ill-fed mothers
bringing their undernourished anemic
children to this human haven. / felt
that a big start had been made.
And this was not so easy said
Miss Sold, who was with U.S. 1T
was very difficult to explain to these
mothers that their children's diseases
were due to themselves, their own
lack of knowledge of how to care for
children. We tried to teach them how
to mix the food, but as yet the task
has proved almost impossible. For so
many centuries they have known SO
little of cleanliness and present-day
living methods that only when they
saw the results in the children did
they have faith and belief In what we
were teaching them.
so we are still preparing the in
fants' food, but gradually and con-
stantly the tremendous importance of

CLAYBURN
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
RACIAL ORIGIN-English.
SOURCE-A locality.

Most of the Clayburns and Clai-
bornes in the United States will be
inclined to quarrel with the statement
that this Is an English family name.
They maintain that it Is Irish.
In this they are not exactly correct.
The truth is that most of the Clai-
bornes and Clayburns in the United
States are Irish, but their name is
not, though 1t has been known in
Ireland since the twelfth or thirteenth
century.
This name, which is often pronounc-
ed in England as though it were spell
ed "Clebburn" or "Clebbern." was orig
inally a place name, and the locality
was the seat of a lordship established
in Westmoreland in Anglo Norman
times. The spelling then was eli
burne," and it later became Gle
borne, from which evolved the form
Claiborne and finally Clayburn. And
strangely enough. this latest spelling
indicates better than the others, quite
by accident 1t must be believed, the
original meaning Of the place name
II you remember that In this case
the burn" means stream of water,
and not that painful result of too close
association with fire. "Clagg" was the
Anglo-Saxon word for sticky earth, -
that is to say, CLAY"

settled in Ireland as early as 1900 AID.

In the treatment of malaria, not only
among Jews, but also among Arabs.
In several clinics like those at Hebron

vigorous campaign against malaria
was conducted by the HadaSsah. Five
fully equipped laboratories were es
tablished in the various Centers, which
performed thousands of blood eXami-
nations.
The Department Of School Hygiene
has been established by the HadaSsah.
A physician with 80 assistants was
appointed. and particular care was
given to antimalaria work. All the
pupils are examined twice a year

of the splendid features of the or
Sanization.
Financed From New York.
This educational work is constantly
being developed, and the government
is being aroused to the excellent re-
suits obtained. In the words of Miss
Szold: I'VE deem il a pleasant duty
to point out the value of the great
help given TO us by the department
of health of the government of
Palestine. The department Of health
has always taken into consideration
the unique and difficult conditions
under which we work and on many
occasions has given US valuable help
Hadassah also places its laboratories
at the service of the public hospitals.
1t distributes linen and drugs free of
charge to many charitable institu-
tions. Mosquito nets and Quinine are
provided to those settlements which
cannot pay for these necessities.
And the cost of this big enterprise
of welfare is small indeed in compari-
son to what is actually being done.
From January ], 1922. to January
1925, the total collections amounted to
$685. ,221.64, and materials valued at
S149, ,700.11. This money was collected
in America by 23,500 members, the
largest number being in New York.

ARTICLE NV.
Welfare Work in Palestine.
BY SOPHIE IRENE LOEB.
.JERUSALEM, October IA

4 LONG the road to Jericho I
" stopped at a picturesque spot
a to take a snapshot of couple
i \ of Bedouin girls who were car
rying on their heads great
|arthenWare vases filled with water.
This is the only way of transporting
water. carrying it from springs or
wells or some central spot. The method
has not changed in 1000 years eX-
Cept for the new pipe and the spigot
attached to the spring.
And as the girls came along the
road / took out my kodak, smiled at
them, little dreaming what would hap
pen. They dropped their burdens and
began to run away, screaming and
crying. And although our driver
called TO them in their language, bid
ding them not to fear, there was no
chance of dispelling their terror. Nor
would they come back for their vases
of water until we had been a long
distance from them.
Fancy, then. what it would mean to
try TO do welfare work with that hu-
man material. We are all accustomed
to drives and attending welfare
meetings and otherwise doing all in
our power to help the poor. We do
not need to be educated up to the i'm
portance of welfare work.
Need TO Learn to Live.
Such is not the case in Palestine.
They can understand why money
should be given to them and they
need no instruction whatever in the
art of begging. But to be taught how
TO live, how to bring up their babies,
how to divert disease, how to keep
Clean-these things were practically
unknown in Palestine prior to the war
among the very poor classes.
When they got sick in Palestine they
tried to doctor themselves in their
crude and primitive ways, or went to
"a hospital where they Jared little bet
ter. If they survived. well and good;
If not, they just died. No concen-
3 trated effort had been made, no
method devised to teach the people
the prevention of disease or care of
themselves or their families.
The big struggle was to exist, GER
tainly not to live, and it was only the
climate. the invigorating, health giving
powers of the sun, that saved these
people throughout the centuries, and
, not through any knowledge of car
ing for themselves.
America Led Way.
So that malaria and trachOma and
such diseases have been prevalent. l
venture to say that almost every
other of the poorest of the natives
has something wrong with his eyes.

1 visited another welfare station,
where 40 per cent of those who come
are Arabs. This stipulation of caring
for the Arabs was made a condition Of
the Straus donation. This, too, is
conducted by the Hadassah. There
are now in operation seven such baby
stations.
l went to the homes of these poor
people. And those who had been
taught how to keep their places clean
even their one room was spotless.
So that the task has not been insur-
mountable. They can be educated TO
better ways of living. They can be
urged to give their children better op-
portunities than they themselves had.
America has done much in this con-
nection, but there is still endless work
to do.
Four Hospitals.
This is not the only operation
of welfare work that Is conducted by
the Hadassah. 1t maintains four hos
pitfalls. located in Jerusalem, Haifa,
Jaffa and Safed. To all Of these hos
pitfalls, dispensaries and laboratories
are added. To the Jerusalem one a
nurses training school for so pupils
is attached. The course Of studies,
theoretical and practical. covers three
years and is conducted in Hebrew.
Up to now so nurses have been
graduated. The diplomas are counter
signed by the department of public
health of the Palestine government.
From their ranks the organization
draws its hospital nursing staff and
it's infant welfare nurses.
All of these hospitals are supplied
with modern equipment, but they
operate under difficult conditions.
They do not have sufficient electricity
and water is still lacking.
Water, by the way, is one of the
chief problems of Jerusalem. Imagine
a whole population living on rain
water only, the same system that has
obtained for centuries. Everybody
has cisterns and the poor buy their
water and carry it in tins to their
homes. And when there is a drought,
as there is this year, it is necessary
for the government to transport four
trains daily. loaded with tanks of
water from Ludd.
This is a problem that will have to
be solved by the government itself,
and already engineers are working on
the plan of harnessing the Jordan
and piping the water through to Jeru-
salem. an engineering feat that. ac-
cording to experts, can be accom-
plished.
But to return to the welfare work.
Clinics have been established in all
towns containing Jewish population
and in 40 agricultural settlements.

The Lie.

Fay walked to the window and look
ed out. Her room was at the front or
the house and she could look straight
down the long tree-lined street. She
was glad that the hotel was in the
town and not on the outskirts. 1T
made everything so much more acces-
sible, and besides, the golf links We're
just back of the hotel, and the open
country beyond that. 1t was all quite
perfect.
AS she stood at the window looking
dreamily out there came a knock at
her door, and the next moment the
expressman arrived with her trunk.
Fay glanced at her watch, saw that 1t
was only $50. and decided to unpack
and arrange her things before dinner.
Then she could take a bath and slip
into something fresh before she made
her appearance in the dining room.
OF course. it was Joy to unpack and
put her things away in the large
closet.
She slipped the pale green night
gown under her pillow, threw her
neglige carelessly over the edge Of
the bed and arranged the rest of her
things in the dresser drawers.

thing that wopried her, that, and one
other thing "a matter that she had
tried to put out Of her mind and
failed.
OF course. her family had insisted
upon knowing where she was going so
that they could write to her. Fay had
evaded questions for long time, say
ing that she had not made up her
mind. and then at last. because her
mother had been so insistent, and
would have been suspicious if she had
refused to give her destination. she
had picked out from the timetable. a
small village quite near Shadow Val
ley. and had told them to send her
mail there, general delivery.

fere with this vacation. The minute

I'll begin to get into another panic
I'm just going to make myself believe
that everything will be all right, and
1t will
With this decision. she proceeded
with her bath and the dressing for the
evening. She chose one Of her or
CANDY dresses, as she was not sure
whether an evening dress would be ap-
prOpriate or not. And when at last
she was ready she stood and regarded
herself thoughtfully in the mirror.
Somehow she looked different here at
Shadow Valley than she had ut home.
Perhaps she was seeing herself in her
new role for the first time, now that
she was actually about to start her
adventure.
