And I saw the babies being weighed. care Iy examined by doctors and nurses. I saw the smiles of ill-fed mothers bringing their undernourished anemic children to this human haven. I felt that a big start had been made. “And this was not so easy,” Miss Szold, who was with us. was very difficult to explain to these mothers that their children's diseas were due to themselves, their own 1k of knowledge of how to care for children. We tried to teach them how to mix the food, but as yet she task has proved almost impossible. For so centuries they have known sc of cleanliness and present-d: £ methods that only when they saw the results in the children did they have faith and belief in what we were teaching them “So we are still preparing the in- " food, but gradually and con- move | SAH INFANT WELFARE. | caring for the baby is realized and the mothers are responding.” I visited another welfare station, where 40 per cent of those who come are Arabs. This stipulation of caring | for the Arabs was made a condition of | the Straus donation. This, too, is conducted by the Hadassah. There are now in operation seven such baby stations. I went to the homes of these poor people. And those who had been | taught how to keep their places clean even thelr one room was spotless. | So that the task has not been insur | mountable.

The Hadassah has also undertaken | hygienic supervision of more than 15,000 children in the Jewish schools. A systematic campalgn against tra- | choma has been organized and arrange- | ments made for the examination of |the immigrants and the sanitary supervision of immigration camps. The clinics play an important part in the treatment of malaria, not only among Jews, but also among Arabs. | In several clinics like those at Hebron hean, Ramlah, the majority of patients are Moslems and Christians A vigorous campalgn against malaria @ conducted by the Hadassah. Five fully equipped laboratories were es tablished in the various centers, which performed thousands of blood exami- nations. The Department of School Hygiene has been established by the Hadassah. A physician with 30 assistants was | appointed, and particular care was nti-malaria work All the are examined twice a year. . infected with malaria re. ceives intensive treatment in a spe: clal children's clinic for the period of two months.

Phe-natal and post-natal represent another »f the splendid features of the or- ganization. Financed From New York. is educational work is c ! leveloped, and the government is being aroused to the excellent re- sults obtained. In the words of Miss Szold: “We deem it a pleasant duty to point out the value of the great help given to us by the department of health of the government of Palestine. The department of health has always taken into consideration the unique and difficult conditions under which we work and on many oceasions has given us valuable help.” H h also places its labo i at the service of the public hospitals. It distributes linen and drugs free of charge to many charitable institu tions. Mosquito nets and quinine ar provided to those settlements which cannot pay for these necessities. And the cost of this big enterprise of welfare is small indeed in compari- son to what is actually being done.

He seized the jewels, thrust them back into the chamois bag, drew the run- | ning cord that closed the bag. ‘Jim," | he said, “have you.seen my son-in-law since your return “Onc “And when was that?" “On Monday evening when I called on Doris.” “See anything unusual about him?"” w that he was drunk.” hat, I regret to say, is not un- al orty-eight hours earlier this an- | nouncement would have come as a shock to Stanley. Now it produced no impression on him whatever. His mind was busy on another tack. “Mr. Colby,” he asked, *has the per- son who stole these diamonds any no- tion as to their present whereabouts? “None whatever,” replied the law- yer, promptly. “Are you sure?” “Absolutely certain.” “I am intensely curious to know, | how you came by them.” “I understand your curiosity, but I am not able to gratify it.

It is true that their recover attended with some ex- pense. I do not care for diamonds, and T regret the expense, even if it has been shared by the insurance com- pany, but if their recovery can be made to contribute to my daughter’s happiness I shall consider the money well spent.” “I have the impression that Doris does not care for diamonds, eithe he said, “did That's true. It's not by restoring the diamonds to her that I hope to make her happy.” “How then?" The lawyer hitched his chair closer the one in which Stanley was sit- ting. “Jim,” hg said, n going to be ‘f ank with you. What I v will grieve |und shoc . and perhaps you will | be angry with me.

When he departed a quarter of an hour later he carried with him the little chamois bag. The lawyer sat where he had left him for a long time, his mind filled with tumultuous reflections. At length his eyes flashed. He smote the desk with his fist until the papers leaped upon the blotter. “By George!” he shouted. “By George!

Fistory of Pour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. CLAYBURN VARIATION—Ciaiborne. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A locality. Most of the Clayburns and Clal- bornes in the United States will be inclined to quarrel with the statement that this is an English family name. They maintain that it is Irish. In this they are not exactly correc The truth is that most of the Clai- bornes and Clayburns in the United States are Irish, but their name is not, though it has been known in Ireland since the twelfth or thirteenth century. This name, which is often pronounc- ed in England as though it were spell- ed “Clebburn” or “Clebbern,” was o inally a place name, and the locality was the seat of a lordship established in Westmoreland in Anglo-Norman times. The spelling then w - burne. and it later became e borne”, from which evolved the form Claiborne and finally Clayburn. And strangely enough, this latest spelling indicates better than the others, quite by accident it must be believed, the original meaning of the place name it you remembgr that in this case the “burn” means a stream of water, and not that painful result of too close association with fire. Anglo-Saxon word for * that is to say, “clay.” An Alan de burne, apparently settled in Ireland as early 200 A. and the name has flourished in that country, as well as in England, ever since.
