Artist, Indian Fighter,

U. S. Forest Reserve
Founder Cleaned Our
Wyoming Outlaws
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 27.-Col
Abram A. Anderson, 90, artist,
sharpshooting Indian fighter and a
founder of the United States Forest
Reserve system, died today of pneu-
monia.
Col. Anderson, a native Of Pea
pack, N. j.. was the husband of the
late Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Ander-
son, who in 1905 established the Mil
bank Memorial Fund. 1t has given
more than $11,500,OO0 to public
health work and charities.
Best known for his painting on the
life Of Mary Magdalene, Col. Ander-
son painted oil portraits of such
notables of his day as Elihu Root
and John Wanamaker.
AS youth he studied in Paris,
where he won five international
shooting matches, a gold medal in
the Paris salon for his painting
lie Matin Apres lie Bali and found
ed the American Art Association.
Col. Anderson bought a large
ranch, Palette, in Wyoming, near
Billings, Mont, in the 187Os. In
1902 he persuaded President Theo-
doce Roosevelt to organize the first
forest reserve over the protests of
sheep ranchers. He was appointed
the first colonel of the ranger patrol
in charge of the territory now known
as Yellowstone National Park.
His most famous exploit was the
cleaning out of the notorious jack
sons Hole, Wyo., hideaway of In
dians, ruStlers and ex-convicts. Col.
Anderson stormed the hideout with
band of rangers, shooting down
most of the fugitives.
Fifteen years ago Col. Anderson
became interested in aviation and
developed the city airport at Rich
mond, Va.
Until a week ago he continued to
paint in his studio, an exotic pent-
house containing stuffed elk heads,
suits of armor, a $50, 900 organ and
18th century Venetian chapel.

operative care. He Is now assisted
by DIR. o. E. Engh.
Miss Pearl Griffith, the nurse in
charge of the clinic, said 154 chill
dren were under care at the pres
ent time. Some Of these children
have been under supervision for
years.
She told Of a 15-year -old girl who
had been under treatment for club
feet since she was two weeks old.
Both feet were badly deformed and
if treatment had not been started
in infancy, the girl probably would
never have been able to walk. To-
day she needs only special shoes
and no one would notice her de-
formity.
Complete Nursing Service.
The Child Welfare Society al
Children's Hospital has a complete
public health nursing service fol
children, giving health supervision
instruction and nursing in the
home.
While facilities for crippled chill
dren have been enlarged, the i'm
portant fundamental job of keep
ing well children we'll" has not been
neglected. The supervision OF the
Health Department and the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society be-
gins before the child is born.
Since 1886 the infant mortality
rate for the city as whole has beer
reduced from u in 1896 to 48 ir
1938-three points below the ma.
tional average. The rate is much
higher than 48 in some of the con.
gested, poorly housed sections o.
the city, where the low-incom.
groups live.
The sharp reduction in infan,
deaths was brought about by in.
creased facilities for the care ol
mothers and babies in the Health
Department, in addition to the
services being rendered by privately
supported agencies such as the hos.
pitals and the Instructive Visiting
Nurse Society.
Under the guidance of DR.. Open
heimer, the Bureau of Maternal and
Child Welfare, has increased its ma
ternity clinics from 3 in 1886 to
8 in 1910 and its child health clinics
from II in 1896 to IA at the present
time. Because of a limited budget
for rent, space has often been OBJ
tanned in schools and other COM
munity buildings.
The number of patients registered
in the maternity clinics has in
creased from 686 in 1896 to 1926 in
1888. Clinic visits have increased
from 1889 in 1886 to 21,55S in 1899
More Children Visit Clinics.
Children visiting the child welfare
clinics have increased from 7,535
in 1896 to 1884 in 1899. Clinic
visits have increased from IS ,232 in
1886 to 68, ,168.
The Bureau of Maternal and Child
Welfare has attached to it's staff a
graduate nutritionist to instruct
the nurses in ways of helping
mothers plan economical, we'll
balanced meals for their families.
A medical social worker is also
attached to the clinic staff with
the job of investigating and adjust

the skitS were over and the main
part of the program began.
81 The program began with two
skits. The first ridicuIed the idea
that America might be invaded. This
provoked expressions Of disapproval
Including the throwing Of three eggs.
Order was restored and the second
skit. from the play Bury the Dead,
was presented TO an audience mally
quiet and respectful.
II Six speakers then addressed the
meeting. All were given courteous
hearing. Not one advocated pacilism,
not one opposed preparedness. These
| six advocated Americas staying out
of the European war. Upon invitation
Of the chairman. eight additional
speakers volunteered. Most Of these
advocated speedy and direct aid to
the Allies, and one favored enter
ing the war. All these were applaud
ed. Two spoke for fair hearing and
1.-TWO for continued neutrality. These
were applauded. Bob Sloan, the STU
dent who led the organization
against the meeting, nevertheless
spoke for full freedom Of express
sion of both sides in the meeting.
The sentiment of the meeting was
so strongly for The Presidents pro-

Christian Churches came to a close
here today after a dinner meeting
at Pierce Hall and a service in All
Souls Unitarian Church last night.
DR.. Roswell p. Barnes, associate
general secretary of the Federal
Council Of Churches of Christ in
America, told the gathering at the
church that Christians of war
stricken lands are looking hopefully
toward American members of Gods
family" for sacrifice, sympathy and
understanding.
Most Of the sessions of the confer
ence were held at Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church.
Feature Of the Pierce Hall dinner
meeting was a lay. symposium on
religion in the American scene.
David Cushman Coyle, economist
and author, declared that if the
church is to lead in the world today
Christian concepts must be renter
preted In the light of present day
conditions. Miss Katherine Lenroot
chief of the Labor Department s
Children's Bureau, said acceptance
OF suffering and struggle is the SUI
preme concept of religion in the
present time. Henry p. Chandler,
director of the administrative ONCE
OF the United States courts, said
motives higher than ourselves" are
needed.

that they are the children Of God

BELLEFONTE, Pa, Me- B.
Weeping mothers and mist..' @ed
fathers mourned at simple funeral
services today the tragic death of
Fay Gates, victim Of a maniac, as
State police reported their search
for her killer had gotten nowhere.
The services were held In a small
Methodist church at the neighboring
village of Mount Eagle, where she
lived. Long before the church doors
were opened three truckloads of
flowers were delivered, tokens of
sympathy from homes Of farmers
alarmed that their own daughters
might next fall prey to the fiend
who killed two young girls in rural
Centre County within five weeks.
Hundreds of country folk visited
the bier Of pretty Miss Gates last
night and today. The match fac
tory where she worked closed for
the day so the 100 employees could
attend the funeral.
