Institutions visited - General
Parkview Veterans and Franklin
Hospitals.
Home visits-Four.
From the Nurses Notebook
We found two of our men in
wheelchairs on the lawn at Park
view last Monday. Mr.. Andrew
Horton, who had not been feeling
so we'll the past week, had wheeled
his chair in a shady spot, lighted
his pipe and prepared to listen in
on the ball game. The patients on
the lawn are able to hear the radio
programs while summing them
selves, thanks to a thoughtful
neighbor. This neighbor moves his
radio to his front porch which is
across from Parkview lawn and
tunes in for the benefit of the pa
tients. Since the rooms are not all
equipped with radios out there,
the kindness of the neighbor is
truly appreciated.
Mr.. John McMoore showed us
how skillful he has become in
manipulating his wheel chair. We
were glad to note that he seemed
stronger since our first visit. We
had visited his home that morning
and found his wife planning to
take him some green peas cooked
with salt pork. This is his favor
tie dish. The other men want some
"greens." Institutional diets may
be ever so beneficial but after
months and months of eating
proper vitamins, it turns out to be
a very uninteresting business. We
know the greens will be taken to
the men.
Mr.. Phillip Humphrey is able to
walk about so well that he heads
the list of our convalescents. Mrs,
Tavia Beasley, Sally Bailey, and
Fannie Banks remain on the seri-
ously i'll list.
At Veterans, Mr.. Roscoe Mays is
] resting as comfortably as possible.

Due to his serious condition a male
nurse was on special duty with
him. Mr.. David Rodgers condi-
ton has not improved. Mr.. Homer
McCravens has improved since his
three weeks stay in the hospital.
He has been encouraged to join the
Art class there. His "hobby" of
drawing should be developed as it
shows possibilities.
We took some flowers to Mrs.
Mary Smith at Franklin Hospital,
for a friend. Mrs. Smith is en-
joying many useful gifts from her
friends.
General Hospital had no serious
ly i'll patients to report last Tues
day. New patients are Ray Dibrel,
Lorraine Lowry, James Faison,
Rhoda Pettiford, Robert Patterson,
and Robert Taylor.
No personal or sentimental OBJ
jections should be allowed to inter
fere with sending a sick person to
hospital if it is for the best
interest of the sick person and
others concerned.

that kept our country eyes turned {
Like the migratory spread of
Minneapolis this city's business is
moving ever, onward and outward
and Negro business keeping step
with progress moves its important
center from 35th to 47th st.
If one may judge by the activity
of commerce upon this highway the
depression has passed on by. Color
full groups of its shifting populace
fill the street, it's theaters, its drug
stores, its beauty parlors; crowd
its street cars, window shop its
many attractively displayed goods
for women, men and the home
little colored boys hawk "Joe
Louis" buttons; blind men and par
alyzed men beseech the benevo-
lence of the passerby though none
seem to give them heed.
Latest editions of the press called
by newsboys rival the noise of the
street hucksters who peddle in the
open street the products of farm
and garden.
A friend with whom we stop
for a moments greeting and to
whom we comment of this welcome
return of prosperity tells US pessi-
mistically that the reality bellies
our deduction. Declares that WPA
islargely responsible-that the bulk
of Chicago's people are in a bad
way. And as we continue our OBJ
servations conviction is forced upon
US that our friends conclusions are
nearer correct than our first opti-
mistic estimate led US to believe.
For we noted certain lily defined
decadence, manifested more in
ways indefinite than specific. A
sort of lowering of the moral tone,
a thing of the spirit that enveloped
many of the people, perhaps I'M
known even to themselves. The
residences show it; the appearance
of the lawns indicates it; the care
less conduct of patrons of the pic
ture houses proves it.
The cold attitudes of the traders
and the grasping raisings of rental
for strangers by hotels and homes
go to show that Chicago is in the
midst of a prize fight "boom" and
that it must make hay while the
sun shines. For tomorrow it will
be over.
Chicago is a city of vast extent
as everyone knows. But the casual
visitor is amazed at the extent of
it's territory. At the new sections,
each with it's business center that
duplicates the Chicago of the loop.
In each of these there is found
colored people; few here; a con-
siderable settlement there. In one
small such division, fifteen miles
from the city's. center, there are
$500 Negro people, almost half as
many as the total of these people
in Minneapolis.
There are perhaps a half dozen
business places they conduct. In
one important way this community
shows it's kinship with the Twin
Cities: it has 80 churches.
1t has seemed to us most natural
to discuss these things and the con-
illusions they invite with Chicago
acquaintance. They say it is most
unfair to judge the community by
it's worst and most visible aspects.
That Chicago, through it's churches,
clubs and civic organizations, is
doing much to bolster religion, edu-
cation and individual progress. The
truth of this we will not dispute.
But it has always seemed to this
writer a just appraisal of a people
when the condition of the mass is
made the criterion.

No criminal responsibility was connected. with the death of Hari- ton Zablotny, 54, who was fatally burned January 9 and who died February 17, says Deputy Coroner Walter w. Smyth in a finding issued today. Zablotny was employed at the tube mill of the Chase Brass and Copper Co.,, in Waterville.
 Zablotny was struck by boom early in the morning of January 8 and hurled into 8 tank of hot wa- ter. He was badly burned about the body, and succumbed to the burns several weeks later.
 The deputy coroner says that zablotny violated g factory rule by standing at the edge of the hot water tank to hook up a load to a crane. The crane operator was lowering the boom so that Zablotny could hook it with a strap when the boom struck him.
 Witnesses examined at the in- quest were Wilfred LaCourse, 294 Mill street; Walter Painter, 190 Monmouth avenue; and William Perugini, 73 Giles street.
 Deputy Coroner Smyth says in his finding:
 On January 23rd, 1887, at about $ o'clock in the morning, the de- ceased was working as a helper on the rnuff1es in the tube mill of the Chase Companies, Waterville. Tn the tube mill there are two large tanks about seven feet wide, thirty five feet long and five feet deep one containing cold water and the other hot water. Metal tubing is carried to a rack alongside of the tanks by means of a moving crane. This crane has a boom or carrier attached to it, and the metal tub- ing by means of straps is hooked on to this boom or carrier and taken from or put on the rack alongside the tank. There is a company rule that employees are not to stand on the edge of the hot water tank. As a matter of con- venience, however, the deceased and other employees have stood on the edge of the tank in order to reach tho straps that hook on to the boom. When the straps are hooked on, the muffle men or his helper gives a signal by hand to the crane operator and he proceeds to oper- ate the crane. On this particular morning the deceased was standing on the edge of the hot water tank to hook up the load when the boom swung over and threw him into the hot water tank. He sustained burns from which he died at $50 a. m., on February 17th, 1887, at the Wa tegbury hospital.
 The operator of the crane at all times had a clear view of the de- ceased. The load at the time deceased was injured was higher on one side than on the other, and the crane opeartor was attempting to lower the boom so that the de- ceased could reach the hook with the strap and hook it on to the car- rier. It was while engaged in this
