1 by the Visiting Nurse Association in 1 collaboration with the state and To- 1 cal health officers. Today there came over my desk some twenty two l cases of contagious diseases. Scarlet Fever, diphtharia, erysipelas. mea- sles, whooplng cough, all of which 1 are more serious for their probable complications, than as diseases in themselves, and for which graduate nurses are trained 10 be always Watchful. Such a service to any com munity cannot be too highly cvalu- atcd.
 "Despita the liberal. far reaching statmont Of our founders, the work was in the beginning largely char itable and the support was only made possible by a kindly public which subscribed to various charity fetes and tag days held for our ben eft.
 Tn 1911 contract with an insur- auce company Metropolitan Life Insurance Company was made, and from that time on greater propor- ton Of the services rendered were paid for.
 To-day we oft"r fully pay, part pay and free service to everybody in New Britain. The fee charged is bas- d on the actual cost Of a visit, no attempt being made to charge more than the cost. and part pay and free service being freely given if a fam- i!ys income does not permit the payment of the full fee. We are equipped to give care to all types of cases except Tuberculosis, provided there is q doctor in attendance. be- tween the hours of 9 A. M and 5 P, NJ. As special services We have a so-c5Iled Delivery Service and an Hourly Nursing Service.
 The Delivery Service provides care for mother during her confine- ment. This service is available day and night, Cbut at night only through the doctor). The cost is higher but arrangcments for it may be made with the nurse on a free or part pay basis.
 The Hourly Service however, is designed to meet the needs of those people requiring the part time services Of a graduate nurse. and who wish to have the service at q definite time. This cost is also high CT than the general service. but has the advantage Of enabling a patient to have one to three hours care at fixed time each day or as needed. The time on this service is, of course limited 10 three hours, be- tween 9:S0 A. NJ. and , P. M.
 People using these services on the pay basis service, pay in full for the value received and are in no way accepting public funds for their care.
 I've continue 10 serve the holders of certain industrial policies and also the members of one Mutual Aid Association Of one of the factories. The services rendered these patients are likewise paid for in full.
 Patients to whom free care Is giv- en are those whom misfortune and illness have visited together; fam lilies where the wage earner is out Of work: widows with children not able to help in the support; old men
New Britain herald., 1927-11-23

who may be earning only their maintenance; old ladies in their last illness without sufficient means to be comfortable let alone paying for medical and nursing attention. and then to numbers of babies and mothers when only advice and health methods are projected.
 Part pay service Is nearly as often given as free, because New Britain has many people who can pay in part but not in full and are of course unwilling not to pay as much as they can. Again too. the part pay service is often of value to families temporarily embarrassed. Part pay under such circumstances may be arranged for, the balance 70 be paid at the families convenience or not at all as the nurse decides.
 The organization is supported therefore through the cash fees col lccted. the fees paid by the Insur- ance Companies. the Community Fund Corporation and by municipal funds Our proportion of self sup port has doubled in the past nine years for in 1917 only 2OCc of the disbursements were earned and in 1926 4SCS of the disbursements were earned.
 In 191e-1sct of new cases admit ted paid in part or In full; 41eS of new cases were cared for free of charge; 43Co of new cases paid for by the Insurance Co.
 In 1926-25T t9Gt more) of new cases admitted paid in part or in full; q e of new cases admitted were carried free; 53 e of new cases were paid for by Insurance com pauies
 In the same ten year period, as matter of note it is an interesting fact that in 1916 staff of three nurses admitted 729 new patients, while in 1926 a staff of eight nurses admitted 2743 new patients or an average of 100 more per nurse.
 The city boundaries are our boundaries. We nurse throughout the city, near the center or far from it. It makes no difference. Three Visiting Nurse cars make 1t possible to cover even the most remote sec tion of the city for all types of serv- ice. Maple Hill and Elm Hill Fire Zone was included in the New Brit ain Visiting Nursing area last spring and in the same manner all types of service are offered to the resi- dents in those suburbs.
 "Our staff of ten graduate regis tered nurses are largely New Britain women. They are fine type, inter estcd in the promotion of health for New Britain and capable of meeting the many and varied types of de- mands which are made for their services.
 The nurses work closely with the local doctors, not being permit ted to give nursing care 10 a patient unless there is a doctor in attend ance. Likewise in handling social problems the nurse refers the case to such agencies as are trained and equipped to handle the situations No material relief is dispersed.
 Our headquarters are at 52 Cen ter street, across from Landers. Frary and Clark, quarters given 10

TO THE PUBLICs

On October 18th at :49 D. m., two strictly stock Studebaker Commander Sport Roadsters, and strictly stock Con1- n7ander Sedan, started at the Atlantic City Speedway Gone and one-half mile board tack) to run continuously for 25, 900 miles and thereby, if successful, to estab- fish new world record for endurance, and also, if possible, to average better than mile minute and thus break all existing speed records not already held by Stude- baker cars. These were the objectives sought by Studebaker.
 This run was sanctioned and supervised by the American Automobile Association, which stationed squad of 35 men on the job in charge of Val lHaresnape, ,Secretaryof the Contest Board of the Association. These men kept all of the records by means of the most accurate electrical time recording in- struments and tape which registered every lap (l6,667 laps) as each car passed over wire stretched across the track immediately in front of the judges stand, which was occupied by four A. A. A. men at all times day and night.
 In addition, at least two members of the A. A. A. Technical Committee kept an accurate record of all gas, oil and water re- plenishments, together with parts replace ments and work done on the cars.
 The sole duty of the Studebaker drivers and pit men was to keep the cars on the track and the average speed above mile a minute. They had nothing to do with the recording of distance or speed.
 The Official Results of the test as duly certified by the American Automobile Association were as follows:
 Both roadsters finished 25,000 miles on November 3rd at 1:37 p. m., which made the total elapsed time IS days, 22 hours and 48 minutes, or 2,o68 minutes, and the average speed 65.31 miles per hour for the entire distance.
 The Sedan finished 25,00O miles on Mo- vember 4th at 0:09 a. m., which made the total elapsed time l6 days, 1o hours and 20
New Britain herald., 1927-11-23

South Bend, Ind, November 10th, 1927 minutes or 24,2Co minutes, and the aver age speed 61 .98 miles per hour for the entire distance.
 These are ,0orH records for distance covered and average speed. NO n1a- chine made by man 117 the history of the world, be # aIrplane, automobile, steam engine, or ship, has even ap- preached the performance of these Studebaker cars.
 An accurate record of all repairs and replacen1ents was kept on the three cars. At Studebakers retail prices for parts, the total cost of all mechanical repairs and re- placements Gncluding labor) on the two Roadsters was S207.88 or II hundredths of cent per mile for the 5O,OOO miles travelled.
 The Sedan turned over during the night Of November End with mileage of 21 ,390 miles to its credit, while going at the rate of 65 miles per hour. It was necessary to replace radiator, wheels, headlights and front axle, but the car was back on the track again in one hour and ffty-seven minutes and completed the 25,O0O miles with an average speed of 61.o8 miles per hour. The repair cost was, of course, made abnormally heavy on the Sedan by this wreck totaling S4O8.34 or one and sixty three hundredths cents per mile. '
 Competitive engineering and proving ground tests, plus analytical examinations of hundred cars made during the past year, had convinced the men who make Studebaker cars, that they are superior in performance, endurance, and value to any other cars on the American market today.
 Realizing the futility of superlative claims, so prevalent in automobile adver- Using, ,Studebaker determined dsevenmonths ago to go after all existing performance records held by stock automobiles and to submit the results to tf1e public as official facts certified to by the highest American authority, namely ths Amer ican Automobile Association.
