Need Believed Apparent. “We believe the urgent need for im- mediate action is evident to every one | making a study of the problem of car-| ing for tuberculous children in the Dis- trict of Columbia,” Mrs. Grant de- Klared yesterday. She set forth these needs as follows: “First, because we have no sana- torium, nor preventorium; no place in which to provide a 24-hour service for our tuberculous children. They must wait until they become bed cases be- fore they are eligible for hospitaliza- tion, and when the disease has pro- gressed to this point, 53 per cent of | the little patients die in hospitals, ac- cording to the statistics from the Chil- dren’s Hospital covering the past five years. “Second, because we cannot control the spread of this infectious disease among children so long as we segre- gate our tuberculous children only five hours a day while at the special health schools. “This, because the 130 tuberculous children now attending the two special health schools of the District are known to be living in daily contact with broth- ers or sisters under the age of 14 who have not yet contracted this disease. “Fourth, bscause of the entire num- ber of pupils enrolled in these iwo health schools in the past five years only 23 per cent have received recov- ery cards.” g Camp Treatment Effective. In this connection Mrs. Grant called attention to the demonstration carried on by the Washington Tuberculosis Association during the past five years with its Summer health camp for children showing the actual benefits to be gained from 24-hour continuous service. There a health program under the supervision of Dr. J. W, Peabody of the ‘Tuberculosis Hospital has been con- ducted by trained nurses and marked progress has been made in educating the parents of the children with the neces- sity of 24-hour continuous care. “But urfortunately,” she continued, “there are long months from September to July, each year, when our tubercu- losis children can be treated for only five hours a day as an education prob- lem, while in truth they represent one of our gravest health problems. Under our compulsory education laws, these children must go to school. And under the District of Columbia tuberculosis exclusion law, they may not attend school with children in normal health. ‘“‘Consequently the two special health schools were created to provide ele- mentary education for these segregated children. “But these schools with their five- hour program, must not under any cir- cumstances, be accepted as a substitute for sanatoriums.” —_— Ventriloquism was. practiced by the ancient Greeks and Romans. social banishment when from her place of retirement and took an active interest in political issues. She has proved of great value in that sphere.” Wu, wife of Dr. Chao-Chu Wu, special envoy to the United States for the Nationalist government of China, and one of the outstanding women of her country, who is in Washington, says that not only are Chinese women vitally interested in the several political movements in China, but are occupying political positions of importance, with authority equivalent to that oi men. Rapid Progress Made. In banking, finance, politics and busi- ness Chinese women have made as- tonishing strides in the last few years, Mme. Wu declares. _She classified the chronology of the rise of the Chinese woman _from her traditional place ot in three separate steps. “First,” she says, “the Chinese woman for many generations was_ the traditional flower. She remained in the home, away from public affairs and was not supposed to occupy herself with political matters. Second, was the stage of transition, when she still re- mained in the home, but voiced her opinions and offered her own views to matters pertaining to affairs of govern- ment. The third and last step was the Chinesc woman emerged Mme. Wu contends that the entrance of the Chinese woman into public life has not reacted unfavorably to her home, and that she attends to her home duties in addition to the new ones she has assumed in the conduct of the nation’s business. Several well known banks in Peking and Shanghai are very OPEN TO WOMEN IN CHINA, ENVOY'S WIFE SAYS MME CHAO-CHU WU. efficiently managed by women, and the entire staff of the banks are composed of women, Mme. Wu said. Interested in Nursery. “Another feature which I should like to mention,” Mme. Wu points out, “is in regard to the great interest which has been demonstrated in the field of nursing. In 1909 a nurses’ association was formed, composed of nine mem- bers, which had organized with the pur- pose of promoting the science of mod- ern nursing in China. That organiza- tion in 1927 had developed to a mem- bership of 1,409 women, two-thirds of whom were Chinese. There are now in China 107 schools for training nurses.” Many women of China have become interested in the sciences and profes- sions, while a number of them have taken degrees in journalism. “Of course,, you must realize,” Mme. Wu says, “that this complete casting aside of old customs and traditions has begun in the large cities, those of Can- ton, Hongkong and Shanghai in par- ticular, and that it will take some time to convince the women of the far off provinces that the modern idea is ac- ceptable. There are still many Chinese women who are shocked by the en- trance offtheir sex into public affairs. ‘The old custom of binding the feet of baby girls has been entirely eradicated.” Mme. Wu declares. In contrast with this ancient procedure, Chinese girls are now enthusiastically adopting sports popular with their Occidental .;Xshers, among them tennis and basket all. PER DEM WORKERS ARE REARRANGED Municipal Architect’s Office Follows Plan of Bureau of Efficiency. A rearrangement and readjustment | of the per diem workers in the Munici- pal architect’s office of the District Government has been put into effect along lines laid down in a recommen- dation by the Bureau of Efficiency. The report on which the action was taken came to the District Building November 1, but was not made public at the time. Detalls of the report wera first learned yesterday from Municipal Architect Albert L. Harris. The report recommended t 35 per diem employes be retained*on the basis of the present appropriations for construction work for which the office is required to draw plans. The total of such appropriations for the current fiscal year is $3,127,000. The working basis for employing or discharging per diem employes is that three per cent of the construction appropriations up to $2,000,000 shall be available for their salaries, and two and a half per cent of any amount in excess of $2,000,000. Partly as a result of the recom- mendations and mainly because jobs on which they were employed were brought to a conclusion, 9 per diem employes have recently been dropped from the rolls, Mr. Harris stated yesterday. Of these, four were in the inspection divi- sion, three in the drafting room of the architectural force, and one each in the mechanical and structural divisions. Mr. Harris expressed great satisfac- tion over the Efficiency Bureau's rec- ommendation, which carried with it changes in classification from sub- professional to professional grades of many of the technical employes, with salary increases and enabled him to feel confident of obtaining a higher grade of men for the jobs in future. “This is the result of a fight I have had on my hands day and night with the personnel classification board,” Mr. Harris said. “I even went so far as to insist that members of the Doard ac- company me on inspection trips to show the kind of work these men were re- quired to do. I think the bureau has done a great work for the service in this report.” The report on ‘the per diem workers follows another Efficiency Bureau report on the workers on the regular annual payrolls which was incorporated in the last year's District appropriation act. According to the act, the number of permanent workers was increased from nine to eleven, and the new position of assistant municipal architect created. There were many classification changes carried in . this report also. Cchen Bros. of Baltimore have purchased the stock of Everybody’s Shoe Store, 813 Pa.
