NTONfEN and mothers especially, may thank
w medical science for the greater security it has
brought them in the last IS years. especially when it
comes to childbirth and diseases that affect women.
The remarkable progress in this field of medicine
was pointed recently by DR.. John S. Fairbanks.
president of the British College of ObStetrcians and
CiynecOlogsts. Most pronounced of ALL DR.. Fair
banks believes is that concerned with the care given
mothers before the birth of their babies
In 1910 little more than beginning had been
made in this aspect of medical work.
TRUE scientific medicine has not yet solved the
l. cause of eclampsia-that form of poisoning of
the woman with child which gives her commissions
but much has been learned about the nature of the
changes that take place in the body under these
ditions and there are methods of treatment which
are life-Savlng.
In overcoming infection of women during child
birth the methods of the surgical operating room
have been introduced into the process of care of the
mother and many cases of infection are thus
avoided.
DROBABLY of the most significant features
I of medical advancement has been the applica-
ton of a system of health education to all through
newspapers. periodicals. lectures. radio talks and
similar methods As a result more and more per-
sons realize the Importance of regular examinations
particularly after middle age to detect dangerous
conditions at the earliest possible moment.
OF course all discoveries made in the field of
diagnosis by study of the blood and by use of the
X-ray have been applied to the care of women.

Mr. PegLer Is Getting Mad

N that moment did Max Baer pause to think how
i he would feel if this outrage had befallen his
own innocent sister? No. Max Baer has no sister.
Did he sit down on one side of the room with her
on the other and treat her with respect? Apparently
not. Apparently Max Baer put his arm around Shir-
ley La Belle and squeezed. Can man squeeze an
innocent girl in his hotel room at night when she
comes to discuss job and get away with it in
America?
ana, although John Barrymores married state
had been widely pubicized how was Miss Barrie to
know? OF course, if she had known that he was
married to another and the father of children she
would have refused to become his protegee because
she is young woman of high character
Miss Barrie lived in a world of art she read
plays and hoped to become actress, perhaps even
more renowned than Shirley La Belle

His first thought had been that

deep-seated ills of Western i'm

But when in May he was lunch
ing with Count Johann Won Bern
Storff, the German ambassador at
Washington, the vision had al
ready begun to enlarge.
Il suggested that it would be a
great thing if there was a SYM
pathetic understanding between
England, Germany, Japan and
the United States. They
could insure peace and the proper
development of the waste places"
Count Bernstorff was unexpect-
eddy encouraging; he even sug-
gested that perhaps China was
the most promising field at pres
ent for concerted action" Col.
House was pleased, and that sum-
mer he was in London with Mr..
Page, meeting still greater states

Grey what Bernstorf had said.

project for international peace be-

William had managed to convert
Col. Houses altruistic project
about the waste places into a
projected Anglo alliance
against Germany-to crush the
naval threat which Great Britain
alone had been unable to over
come in the negotiations of 1912.
Mr.. Wilson seemed almost EN-
thusiastic";; and it was decided
that Col. House should make the
visit to Berlin, just as Sir William
had instructed him to do.

Col. House was delighted with his

BY this time the colonel was
dreaming "of a sympathetic ALI

Sir William was most f1attering

quietly and secretly, but should
secure an audience with the
kaiser and say to him, among
other things, that England and
America had buried the Ratchet
