Approximately so Beltsville (Md.)
children will have to continue trav-
cling nearly miles by bus to the
Laurel High School despite pro-
tests by their parents against the
recent order by the Prince Georges
Board of Education transferring the
students from the Greenbelt High
School because of overcrowded con-
ditions there.
In a petition presented to the
board at its meeting yesterday in
the Upper Marlboro Courthouse, the
parents declared that the transfer
was "unwarranted."
Supt. of Schools Nicholas Orem
told the delegation that the Green
belt School, with capacity of 300
students, was already accommodating
$50 and that about 400 additional
families were expected to move into
the town shortly.
Oxon Hill Parents Protest.
He added that unless the Belts
vile students were transferred the
school would have to be conducted
on the basis of two shifts daily.
The Laurel school, he pointed out,
Is the least crowded of the county's
high schools.
A similar protest was made by
parents of Oxon Hill Elementary
School children over the proposal
to transfer IS pupils to the Suitland
school.

lows: Thanksgiving, November 26-

ary 3, and Easter, April 1926.

whether the transit concern violated

tice to the OPA as the agent Of
Economic Sterilization Director
James r. Byrnes, the Presidents
representative, and since 1t had not
consented to timely intervention" :
by the OPA.
Investigation Started.
The OPA agent warned that the
concern promptly must rescind its
rate increase order, and said his
Office had started an investigation.
Leslie Altman, president of the
concern, said the increase had been
put into effect properly and that it
was not general increase" such
as is referred to in the recent
amendment to the Price Control
Act. There was no increase on other
lines Of the concern. He added that
the petition for the increase had
been filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission more than q
month ago and that the OPA there
fore had had an opportunity to act.
Authority Disputed.
Company officials have MAIN
tanned the question was not subject
to action by either the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission or the
Maryland Public Service Commis-
sion since it was an interstate mat
ter. The increase, put into effect
over the week end, Mr.. Altman said,
was restoration of the price that
had prevailed several years ago, be-
fore the company voluntarily had
reduced the fare.
After the warning had been re-
ceived from Mr.. Booth, it was agreed
that conference be held at 2
o'clock this afternoon. While Mr..
Booth had advised that the increase
be rescinded at once, Mr.. Altman
decided to let the question 60 over

More Hospitals Hold Brightest

But Method Falls in Stop Cop Class

(This is the fourth of series

analyse the situation of local
hospitals, no1O considered the
most critical in their history.
and outline possible solutions to
their problems.)
BY PAT JONES.
A pitifully crowded obstetrical
ward situation in which local hos
pitals now are battling with more
than capacity maternity lists and
facing rapidly rising birth in
crease stands out in a study of the
Districts hospital and nursing stu
alton.
The brightest outlook appears to
be the expansion program now in
the hands of the Federal Works
Agency and set up on 90-day con-
additions, according to this sched-
ule, should be ready for occupancy
the last of January.
Meanwhile, these appear to be
the most effective methods by which
the District can handle its burden
of wartime babies, first noticed here
the last of August and now con-
stantly growing heavier:
/. Encourage home delivery a
babies
2. Encourage early discharge Of
mothers from hospitals.
Cauens CovnrI;co <;nns
But these two steps, in the very
beginning, involve condition that
in no way helps the supply OF doctors
and nurses, now so short as to be
in the last stages of an emergency.
Home delivery restricts to one case
both doctor and nurse, while, if the
expectant mother is confined in a
hospital, those in attendance can
divide their attention between sew
eral patients.
There again comes the matter Of
making the best of bad situation.
If hospital beds are not available,
deliveries are made elsewhere.
Medical people do not conceal the
fact that home deliveries are on the
increase, that mothers in some cases
are encouraged to leave the hospital
much sooner than ordinary, that
some deliveries are made in doctors
Offices and that some mothers are
taken home within "a hours after
their babies are born.
This is war;" explained one doc
tor, "and we have to make the most
of it."
Safeguards Considered.
If home deliveries are necessary,
the next important step is to pro-
vide all possible facilities to make
the birth as safe as possible both
for the mother and child. The two
crying needs in this respect are
capable nursing service and efficient
housekeeping aid.
In this emergency, it may be nee
essary to resume the home delivery
service discontinued by the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society in 1896
because there did not at that time
seem to be sufficient demand for it.
Confronted with such q proposal,
Miss Gertrude Bowling, executive
director of IVNS, said:
If the Medical Society wants home
delivery service, we're ready to give
1t. We offered such a service for
Is years and there's no reason why
we can't do 1t again if the need is
expressed and funds are provided" !"
Medical authorities agree that the
1VNS IS the logical organization to
provide such a service. Its record

over the 16-year period demonstrates
the ability of its nurses to perform
such an emergency. Mothers are
advised by them before birth, at
tended during birth, instructed on
maternal care after birth and Wis
tied periodically afterward.
Domestic Help a Factor.
Still another vital need in con-
nection with home deliveries and
early discharge from hospitals Is
capable housekeepers. Doctors warn
that such a plan cannot succeed
unless there is sufficient domestic
help at the home to assure proper
convalescence.
The most likely source of house
keepers appears to be the training
project set up under the Works
Progress Administration and still in
existence on reduced scale. This,
too, has been proved by experience
Records show that out of 377 re-
quests for housekeepers made to the
WPA by the District Health De-
partment in one year, 16 were fol
maternity cases. ~
These housekeepers have been 9
godsend," said DR.. Ella Cppenheim-
er, director Of the, Bureau of Ma.
ternal and Child Welfafe.
Still another relief COR the crowd.
ed maternity wards is offered. DR.
Herbert P. Ramsey, obstetriciar
who has taken leading part in the
local fight for hospital expansion
both in his former connection with
the Health Security Administration
and as head of the Obstetrical
Board of the District Medical So
ciety, pointed out that more beds
might be made available in hos
pitals by setting up maternity con.
valeScent homes to which mothers
could be transferred with their ba-
bies four or five days after delivery
DR.. Ramsey has in mind for one
of these homes Villa Rosa, large
Massachusetts, avenue residence ac-
quired by the public school system
He recalled that this first was pro-
posed last fall by a District Medical
Society committee, of which he was
member.
Hospital Expansion First.
But DR.. Ramsey's first advice on
1.-THE obstetrical ward situation is to
push the hospital construction pro-
gram and to encourage representa-
tives of. hospital boards, hospital
superintendents and the Graduate
Nurses Association to get together
and work out a definite working
schedule for nurses aides.
The shortage of hospital beds first
was foreseen by the Health Security
Administration. Following this up
the committee from the Medical
Society in its survey last fall found
that the District then was shy zoe
obstetrical beds.
The following records on total
births in the District during the
last nine years indicate the increas-
ing gravity of the situation:
For 1884, 1859; for 1885, 11,217;
for 1896, 1850; for 1887, 1906; fol
1888, 13,401; for 1899. 14,431; for 1910
18TH: for 1941, 1882; for the pc
riod of 1912 ending with the week
of October 10, 1898. Since there
has been a phenomenal rise thi.
year since the first Pearl Harbol
babies began to arrive, some esti-
mates place the total for 1912 al
high as 21,000, which Is virtually
double the number for 1894.
OF the 1882 children born in the
District last year. 1,4A were borr
in homes and 1888 in institutions
About third of these cases were
INDECENT and between 10 and IS pei
cent were normal births.
