Mrs. Frederick Cole, chairman of
the civil service department, reports
that there are 371 headings for in
spections! work open to women in the
federal service, involving 86,397 em
ployes. Appointments of this kind in
the middle west are often unfilled be
cause girls do not know of such op
portunities. She urges women col
lege grsduates to consider employ
ment of this kind as an alternative to
the overcrowded tteaching profes
sion. The "America First" campaign, in
which women's organizations are co
operating with the education bureau
ot the federal government, offers
these practical suggestions as to what
women's organizations can do:
Appoint a committee on American
ization to assist in national and local
school campaigns.
Organize special subcommittees to
secure young foreign-speaking women
to visit immigrant homes and urge
mothers to attend adult classes.
Offer co-operation in national and
local evening school campaigns to
respective school authorities.
Pledge each member to induce one
non-English speaking immigrant
JZB3.B.G.JDRAKB

America.
Distribute "three months' enlist

bers. Publish handbills and leaflets in
English and foreign languages, urg
ing immigrant women to atjend adult
classes.

PERFECT IN EQUIPMENT
In the Ford hospital, built and
equipped by the Home Builders at a
cost of $15U,000, Umaha as well as
the middle west can boast of one of
the most modern hospitals in the
country. The building faces Twenty
fu'tli sireet and is located between
Douglas and Dodge streets.
The structure is one of four floors,
besides a full basement and sub-basc-
ment, and is absolutely fireproof. The
only wood used is in the hardwood
floors to give the rooms a more home
like appearance and in the solid slab
oak doors. The building was so
erected that another floor "and wingi
can be added. The hospital has seventy-five
beds.
Resists Fire and Time.
The general construction is rein
forced concrete and is of the rock
riiibed skeleton type, so that the walls
are not really a necessary strength
to the structure. All windows and
floor frames are of steel and the win
dow bases of white marble.
The hallways have a terrazzo bor
der and are covered with battleship
linoleum, under which is a cement
base. The stairways are constructed
of iron and cement and are somewhat
wider than the usual run of stairs.
Although the different departments
seem to be scattered all over the
building, they have been so arranged
as to give patients the maximum
amount of service.
A working unit on each floor is a
nurse's duly room, a diet kitchen and
a dressing room. Besides this there
is a special toilet and bath room.
The Layout.
The administration department is
on the first floor and connects with
the lobby. The lobby has a terrazzo
floor and serves the purpose of re
ception room. Private rooms and
wards occupy the remainder of the
first floor.
The second floor is taken up en
tirely with private rooms, four of
which have private baths.
On the third floor are the two op
erating rooms connected by a steriliz
ing room. A laboratory, surgeon's
wash room, sterile supply room, sur
geon's dressing room, interne's room
and Dr. Ford's private office take up
the greater part of the floor. The
obstetric room and several private
rooms are also located on this floor.
The entire fourth floor is taken up
with a sun parlor and open promenade
with a pergola above. The sun par
lor is acessable by two automatic elec
tric elevators and a broad flight of
stairs.
Important Machines.
Perhaps the most complicated and
important part of the hospital is in
the basement. Here is located the hy
dropeutic department, the roentgen
department and the retention! rooms.
In the south part is drug room and
emergency room, where emergency
cases that cannot be taken to the
operating room are taken care of.
A disinfecting room, where all the
bedding is disinfected before being
laundered, is also located on the base
ment floor. The kitchen, general diet
room and nurse's dining room takes
up the remainder of the space.
The boilers, filters and pumps, all
duplicated in case of emergency, are
located in the sub-basement.
All rooms in the hospital are open
rooms and on each floor is a wide
open porch.
Proper ventilation is one of the bie
features in the construction of the
hospital. Two ventilators, one at the
floor and the other at the ceiling in
every room, are connected with the
exhaust system which keeps the air
pure at all times. Besides this there
is a special ventilator on every win
dow. Plumbing All Open.
The plumbing is perhaps the most
up-to-date of its kind. It is all open
and can be easily gotten to in case
of trouble. On every floor there is
hot, cold and ice water. Bubbling
drinking fountains are in every hall
way. By the new service system there is
small chance of a nurse not respond
ing immediately upon the call of a
patient. When a patient rings for
a nurse the number of the patient's
room registers on a glass plate by
the nurses' serving room and at the
same time an electric blub lights
over the patient's room, thus dou
bly calling the attention of the nurse.
There is also a telephone in every
room.
Two electric elevators of the latest
type operate to all floors. The build
ing is also equipped with a vacuum
cleaning system.
The most up-to-date equipment was
purchased for the hospital. In the
kitchen there is an electric dish
washer, an electric vegetable peeler
and many other time-saving devices.

One Owner Arrested in

that she attacked him on February

to engage in a physical encounter,

He also asserts that his wife, Letta

one of which is on each floor.
The Home Builders. Inc., erected
the building for Dr. Michael J. Ford,
just as it erects individual houses, pro
vides money, the places and super
vises the construction, turning over
the completed building to the owner.
The large capital necessary was pro
vided by more than 1,000 sharehold
ers. Besides erecting the structure,
Home Builders equipped the hospital
in the most modern manner.
Adjoining the hospital on the north
is the nurses' home, which was re
built by the Home Builders. It has
quarters for thirty-five nurses and is
modern in every detail.

Furnishings and decorations which

Everything has been done with a
view of making things as comfortable
and as homelike as possible.
To prevent dust and germs from

we entrust our dear ones to the
care of a physician or a nurse.

private rooms have brass beds there
is practically no difference in the con
struction of those in the other rooms
and wards. By an invention of Dr.
Ford any corner of a bed can be
raised or adjusted to the position or
angle that is most comfortable to the
patient.
Perfect white walls set off by highly
polished hardwood floors lend an as
pect of cheerfulness that cannot help
but be a great asset for health.
Wide windows permit plenty of
sunshine to the pleasant airy rooms.
Situated as it is among pleasant sur
roundings, yet away from the noise
and bustle of the busy streets, al
though in the heart of town, the hos
pital is an ideal place for peace and
rest.
Luxurious Baths
In New Hospital
Well Appointed
The luxurious rnd well appointed
baths of the ancient Roman plutocrats
could hardly have been on a par with
those that occupy the north end on
the basement floor of the Ford hos
pital. Nowhere in the country is there a
more complete equipment for the
many different kinds of baths than
that at the middle west's most up-to-date
hospital. A special room with
elaborate equipment is set apart for
nearly every kind of bath offered.
