War Nurse Guides Footsteps
Of Little Ones Back to Health

of Miss Gibson at
Chidren's Hospital.

Miss Matte M Gibson, r. N. Is
superintendent of Children's Hospital
In any of her many official capacities
the R. N. stands for Registered
Nurse" If. however. one of her small
wards needs help, the initials stand
for Run Now"
To talk to Miss Gibson means learn
ing at once that the Run Now has
always been feature of her active
life. Completing her nursing training
in Iowa, she devoted her time to pri-
vate duty, public health nursing and
travel until the beginning of the World
War
In the summer Of 1917 Miss Gibson
volunteered for service with 9 surgical
unit and went to France in January
Of the following year. At Camp Hos
pital No. q at Tours, the unit nursed
aviators in training who had crashed.
Early in June. 1918, the unit was
changed to Mobile Hospitaf No and
sent to the front, where its members
cared for non-transportable wounded
until the end of the war.

son returned to school and community
work in Iowa. Then came an emer-
gency call to go to the Great Lakes
as Navy Reserve nurse during the
'flu' epidemic in 1919. AS usual, Miss
Gibson decided to run now" When
the emergency ended in 1920, she was
offered and accepted the position Of
superintendent of the Children's Hos
pital here.
Under the direction of Miss Glib
son the work of the hospital has grown
by leaps and bounds. During her first
year the institution treated 1900 pa
tients in its wards. Over 5000 chill
dren were treated there last year. The
visits to the out-patient departments
have increased from 1000 in 1920 to
approximately 72,000 last year.
Children's Hospital is the only hos
pital in Washington devoted exclu-
sively to the care of children, and it
is significant that only two other SINH
lar institutions in the United States,
he Children's Hospitals of Chicago
and Detroit, care for more children
1t is also the only hospital equipped
to battle the dread infantile paralysis
and the orthopedic department Is one
of the most modernly equipped in the
country.
| Takes on Other Duties.
But Children's Hospital goes beyond
the immediate treatment of children's
diseases. Through its aff1liation with
the Child Welfare Society, it cooper
ates in keeping the child we'll" and
through its social service department,
maintained by the Junior League, the
hospital follows its little patients into
their own homes, seeing that they get
proper care after leaving the institu-
ton.
The hospital also has close affiliation
with the Childrens County Home and
with the Christ Child Convalescent
Farm at Rockville, whereby children in
need of convalescent care are given an
opportunity to get well. In addition
to the straight charity work of the
hospital there are cases from the
Board of Public Welfare for which q
small payment Is made and children
referred to the institution by the Gen.

pICTURES of animals and pets have
natural appeal to most people,
and snapshot contest judges are not
exempt. Hence, If you have an inter-
esting cat or "peppy" pup-picture
it! If you live on a farm where you
can picture horse or lazy cud-
chewing COW or a woolly lamb. don't
miss the opportunity. And if you
visit a circus or ZOO don't forget to
take the trusty camera along.
A sense of humor and good judg-
ment of animal character play a big
part in getting good animal pictures.
You must be quick on the trigger, too,
and be ready for any unusual pose or
expression. Pets do scores Of funny
things that make appealing pictures
the kitten tangles up with a ball of
yarn, the puppy chases his tail, two
hens go into a tug OF war over a
worm-and such incidents are well
worth watching for.
Animals have expression, too. A big
cat may wear a lordly, proprietary air
