THE EVENING. WORLD, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1921. N.Y. CRIPPLED AND DEFORMED TO BE TREATED BY CITY ON EVENING WORLD SUGGESTION Health Commissioner Cope- land Offers Hospitals and Adept Surgeons. HAS A PLAN OF MERCY. Dr. Lorenz’s Visit Reveals Deplorable Conditions That Must Be Remedied. Help for every crippled child or adult in Greater New York afflicted with @ curable deformity {x offered to-day through The Evening World by Dr. Royal 8. Copeland, Commissioner of Health, ‘The need of the city’s unfortunates (sufferers from jolnt diseases and in-| juntile paralysis, who havo been! aroused to the fact that many of their cases are curable by the visit of Dr. Adolf Lorenz, the famous Viennese orthopedist), is to be met at once by the Board of Health through more, than a score of finely equipped New ‘York hospitals and nearly 100 of the) suntry's leading orthopedists, whose ability Dr. Lorenz himself has sald is wecond to none in the world, ‘The promise of help for these infirm thousands {s certain, Hospitals for the treatment and care of these patients pre in New York, Orthopedic surgeons, wpecialists in their branches of their profession, many of them with na- onal and world wide reputations, are here to perform the operations and to i direct treatment, Lack of information by the families of afflicted persons that New York hospitals and New York surgeons can and are willing to treat them has | caused thousands tor believe there is ) no treatment for them here; that they were doomed to be cripples for life, their usefulness impaired, their hap- piness marred by their ‘deformities. The coming of Dr. Lorens and the | announcement that he vould examine | without charge these cases have Drought thousands to his clinics with the hope that here at last was the person who could cure theng Hun- | Greds had never undergone tYatment j of any kind, Hundreds had never had the advice of a surgeon. Hundreds had never oontinued proper treatment once begun. They came with the hope that springs eternal in the breasts of such unfortunates, that Dr. Lorenz's skill could effect miraculous cures. ‘TOO MANY CRIPPLES HERE FOR 7 LORENZ TO HANDLE. Many, of course, found their hopes futile. Their cases had been neglect- ed too long. Many, however, were given hope. Dr, Loreng diagnosed their cases and gave them advice for treatment which, if properly followed, may mean complete cures. In a few instances he has operated, with sur- geons who will give the patients after-treatment, but it has been and ‘will be impossible for him to see all in New York who want his advice. He has recommended to them the services of New York orthopedists and New York hospitals. "They are equal,” he declared, “to any in the world, My greatest ser- vice has been in awakening the atten- tion of the people to the need for treatment. Go to your Own doctors. ‘They will perform for you all that I can do.” Dr, Copeland has offered for the Board of Health the services of these hospitals and these surgeons, but in order that the families of crippled persons and the crippled ones them- selves may be more speedily directed to the hospital which can best care for them, Dr. Copeland to-day, at the @uggestion of The Bvening World, announced that beginning Wednes- yy, Dec. 14—a week from to-day— | mations of cripples will be at each of Board of ith headquarters in the five of New York. later, by competent -orthopedists, whose “records of results will be mailed to parents, with instructions as to which hospital and doctor the cases should be taken for treatment, ALL ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITALS TO BE AVAILABLE, Dr. Copeland announced that every hospital in the elty with orthopedic services will be available to these crippled persons; that they are in- tended primarily for persons who have not the means to pay for treat- ment, and that the city desires all to use them. Persons assigned to the Post- Graduate Hospital will have the benefit of the skill of Dr, Frederick H, Albee, who was designated by Dr. Lorenz as one of the country’s fore- most orthopedists; his associate, Dr. Charles L, Oglivy, and a large staff of other competent men. ‘Those who go to St. Vincent's will have the ser- vice of Dr. Reginald Sayre, who is known everywhere as one of the lead- ing orthopedists, Drs, Russell A. Hibbs and B. P. Farrell are at the New York Orthopedic Hospital, while at the New York Hospital for Rup- tured and Crippled there are such famous specialists as Drs, Virgil P. Gibney, Royal Whitman and H, L. Taylor, The other names are hardly less well known, and the crippled of New York are assured of services hardly less capable than those which Dr, Lorenz himself could give. In addition to the help these hos- pitals and surgeons offer in the treat- ment of diseases of the joints, thoy offer also treatment in infantile par- alysis cases, In which Dr. Lorenz hi announced ‘he has nothing new to offer, and which, on that account, he has refused to see. ‘The United States,” he sald, “leads the world in the treatment of such cases. You have methods of w Europe hardly more than kné&ws; your peopic should avail themselves of their opportunity and not delay treatment. Infantile’ paralysis is largely @ matter of treatment and at- tention, constant attention. Go to your ow hospitals, get the help they offer you.” HOW DR. LORENZ AWAKENED NEW YORK. Dr, Copeland agreed with Dr. Lo- renz that the most significant factor of his visic to New York \s the awak- ening of the minds of the people to the fact that many cripples can be cured. “I'm delighted," ho said, “that Prof. Lorenz has come to the United States. He |s a man of world-wide repute and much beloved by every one who has come in contact with him. He has been referred to, and is in fact, an ‘Ambassador of Mercy.’ “His coming has revealed a state of affairs which, I think, no one of us dreamed «f. It is heartbreaking to think there are and have been In this community thousands of cripples many of whom can be cured or r stored to useful citizenship. It see: almost beyond credit to think these little sufferers should have gone all these years without finding some means of relief, As I said at Fraunces's Tavern at the luncheon given to Dr. Lorenz, he would be the last one to contend or to think that he has any skill which is not possessed by many American surgeons. Whatever Dr. Lorenz caa do for cripples many New York physicians can do.* The effect of this situetion upon me as a tem- porary guardian of the health of the/ city has keen to form the firm and steadfast resolution that every cripple in New York shall be reached, and if his cage is curable that he shall be restored to a normal life. “I have directed the officials of the Health Department to prepare a list of hospitals and attending surgeons who can render this service, Natur- ally, T am desirous this list shail be complete and no institution or com- petent physician be — overlooked. Heaven knows there {s material enough and work enough for every- one who will render service. This list will be added to from day to day until we feel it is complete. “In the mean time I want every parent and every crippled citizen to know that even though Dr. Lorenz tan't be seen personally, information will be given regarding some othor jearby examinations will be wenlaga Wetntdeys and r who is endowed with ual skill.

Almost as much a nuisance as interviews, But I daresay they ate necessary. Calls from many olf friends who depress me and many new ones who thrill me. I wanted some buckwheat cakes. I had to go three blocks to a Childs restaurant to get them. Why doesn’t a hotel like the Ritz get a chef who knows how to make buckwheat cakes?

Chuck goes on at a great rate and succeeds in work- ing up his own emotions until there are tears in his eyes. I promise him all sorts of things to get rid of him. He knows it and tells me so.

PLANS FOR FAREWELL PARTY. I had a luncheon engagement at the Coffee House Club with Frank Crowninshield and we talked over the arrangements of a dinner which I, am giving to a few intimate ftiends. Frank is my social men- tor, though I care little about so- ciely in the general acceptance of the term. We arranged for a table at the Elysee Cafe and it was to be a mixed party, The fizz water must have some- thing of the sort of thing that old Ponce de Leon sought. Certainly {t made us feel very young, Back to children we leaped for the night. There were games, music, dancing, We are And no wall flowers. Every one participated, DOUG AND MARY IN CHAR- » ADES. We began playing charades and “Doug” and Mary showed us some clever acting. ‘They both got on top of a table ana made believe he was the conductor of a trolley car and she Was a passenger, After an orgy of calling out stations en route the conductor came along to the passenger and collected her fare. Then they both began danc- ing around the floor, explaining that they were a couple of fairies dancing along the side of a brook Picking flowers. Soon Mary fel! in and Douglas plunged in after her and pulled her up on the banks of the brook. That was thelr problem and guess though we would we could not solve {t. They gave the answer finally, It was “Fairbanks.” Then we sang, and in Itallan—at least 1t passed for that. I acted with Mme. Maeterlinck, We played a burlesque on the great dying scene of “Camille.” But we gavo it a touch that Dumas overlooked. When she coughed, I got the dis- ease immediately and was soon taken with convulsions and died instead of Camille. We sang some more, we danced, we got up and made impromptu Speeches on any given subject. None were about the party, but on subjects like “political econ- pmy," "the fur trade,” “femin- sim. Factr one would try and talk In- telligently and seriously on a given subject for*one minute.’ My gub- Ject was the “fur trade. I prefaced my talk by references to cats, rabbits, &c., and finished up by diagnosing the political sit- uation in Russia. For me the party was a great success. I succeeded in forgetting myself for a while, I hope the rest of them managed to do the same (harlieChaplin's his TripAbroad Follow This Humorous Narrative of Famous Film Comedian’s Experiences—Daily in The Evening World IRD INSTALMENT—CHARLIE GIVES A “FAREWELL” PARTY There Are No “Wallflowers” and Everybody Has a Good Time, but Charlie Wakes Up Next Morning With a Headache—Every- thing Fixed for Departure. thing. From the cafe the party went over to a little girl's house. She was a friend of Mr, Wooicott and again we burst forth in music and dancing. We made a com- plete evening of it and I went to bed tired and exhausted about five in the morning THE LAST MORNING. I wanted a long sleep but was awakened by my lawyer at nine.

He has come to see me off, I tremble, though, for fear he has more bus!- ness with me, I am criticised by my lawyer for talking so sharply the first thing in the morning. That's just it. He always sees me the first thing in the morning. That's what makes me short. But it Is too big a moment. Some- thing is stirring within me. I am anxious and reluctant about leav- ing.

So far as it has been humanly possible I have made these arrangements, but every one can see how impossible it is ror Prof. Lorenz, advanced in years and more or less frail in health as he is, to see all who wish to meet him. “Every person who comes to the preliminary examinations at the Board of Health headquarters in the various boroughs will be examined to determine the curability of his case.

Responsibility for conditions in the garment ‘industry, including high prices, was this afternoon laid at the door of the manufacturers by Stan- ley A. Sweet, Chairman of the Execu- tive Board of the International Asso- clation of Garment Manufacturers, at its twenty-fifth annual convention at the Waldorf-Astoria. Mr. Swet made the statement dur- ing the course of his report to the assembled representatives of 500 firms in thirty-eight States, He sald in part: “We ourselves are responsible for conditions in the garment industry through our competition for many years, and we're also partly respon- stble for the soaring prices of the last few years. We must not wholly blame the retail trade but seek Its co-opera~ tion to correct all tho evils which keep prices high and dimeujt for us to figure, “wrile it is true that wo are on too high a price acale to-day, we can't ever expect to bring it down, except temporarily, to a pre-war level, ‘Tho problems of the present cannot be solved by judgment gained by experi- ence, because very few of us have lived long enough to study in @ prac tical way the particular causes and effects which now confront us. “We must look to those who have made scientific studies of history and its movements, sociologic and eco- nomic, till we find reactions to those now seething about us. “Labor, as an economic factor, must Jessen {ts price proportionately to other commodities. It !s unfair to demand of it an arbitrary drop until we can prove to a certainty that a drop in labor cost will bring other things to a lower basis.” Mr. Sweet added that before the convention adjourns to-morrow, the Executive Board will present what it believes to be a solution of the trade's dificulties. ——————>_—_—_—— ITALIAN STAR LINER EXONERATED BY COURT s of Graft in Ship Purchase Gribery Fall Down. ‘The {tallan Gtar Line Company, in- conporated; Emilio Paul Yasellt, its president; James D, Butler, a lawyer, and Max lin and Fred A.
