Adv. it i HOSPITAL HEAD WANTS WAR AID FOR DISCIPLINE Army Appropriation Will End Legar Squabbles in Deten tion Home, Dr. Palmer Findley Tells Court. Hope that an amendment to the army apprapriation bill passed by congress on July 6 and providing $2,400,000 for the detention and cure of fallen women will iron out the legal difficulties surrounding the de tention of diseased women in the city detention home, Twenty-second street and St. Mary's avenue, is being enter tained by Omaha physicians and so cial workers interested in the work. Dr. Palmer Findley, medical direc tor of the city detention home, under authority of the city department of health, said Monday, after he had testified in habeaas corpus proceed ings brought by John M. McFarland, attorney, for the release of Mrs. Car men Lynne, inmate in the home, "A3 soon as this appropriation is made available we shall be on a war basis and shall avoid all these legal squab bles. Judge W. A. Redick took under ad visement the case of Mrs. Carmen Lynne. No Clinical Work. Mrs. Lynne testified that she had been arrested as a vagrant at Six teenth and Cass streets one evening last week as she was on her way to a restaurant. She rooms at the Park hotel, she testified, and her husband is now in an army training camp at Allentown, Pa. Reports that patients at the de tention home were subjected to ex amination before groups of medical students were flatly contradicted by Dr. Findley, who also said that only he, himself, two other physicians and two medical students were present at the examination of the Lynne woman. "Our function is not to cure these women absolutely," testified Dr. Find ley, for in many cases that would take a lifetime. Our function is to render them incapable of transmitting any social disease." Works Without Pay. Dr. Findley said that his services in directing the detention home were eiven without nay as part of his contribution to war work and that he was navine the salary of Miss Alta Berger, head nurse at the home, until the institution was put on a definite basis and other appropriations were made available. Obiections of some of the inmates that they were forced to do house work without their consent and so were put under involuntary servitude, were answered by Dr. Findley s state ment that it was absolutely necessary to give the women something to do to occupy their time. "Personally I have never seen a hospital kept clean er nor better managed from a medical standooint than this home." he sa;d. The army bill appropriation pro vides $1,000,000 for detention pur ooses. $1,000,000 for state boards of health, $100,000 for medical school researches and $300,000 for researches by scientific bodies. It was made necessary by the great amount ot disease of a social character found among men entering the National army. , Probe Barber's Arrest. riiif nf Pnlir M. F.

Support of Com mittee for France. The beautiful Countess Madeleine de Bryas spoke at the Chamber of Commerce Monday noon before a large audience that cheered her elo quence as she spoke of her native land. The countess is .a blonde with golden hair, fine coloring and perfect features. Her blue gown has the mark of the Parisian maker. She was elegantly gowned in true Parisian good taste and elegance. She . was born in Paris and her home is in the house where she was I I Ml II III ' 41 jn : I : mm COUNTESS DE BRYAS. born on the Champs Elysees. Her father is Count de Bryas and her mother was Miss Clymer of Philadel phia. The countess is the organizer and head of the largest work in France for taking care of people from the invaded regions. It is called "Le Bon Gite," or "The Good Home." Two years ago she began lecturing in southern France and in Spain to gather funds for this work. When she was asked to come to this coun try in the interest of Miss Anne Mor gan's American committee for de vastated France she left her own work in the hands of Miss Morgan's committee. Lived Near Lines. For months the countess has lived in a little hut near the front lines, where Miss Morgan and other work ers were also living. Sometimes it was so cold they could not sleep.

"Therf when the flight can no longer be delayed there is such confusion that many children are iost. They are too small to know where they live. They grow and change and in many cases can never be reunited to their famil ies. In this last drive 1,000 children were brought to us by mothers who left them in our care. The govern ment has given us a farm whVre we keen them in comfort. "There has been no real reconstruc tion work yet. It would not be wise because in case of another invasion reconstructed houses would merely fall again to the destructive impulses of the Germans. French soldiers, in their seven days' rest from the trench es, are employed in patching up homes and the families come back as quick as possible and in spite of bursting shells to the homes that they love even in desolation. The government also provides wooden sheds which will be useful after the war as cattle sheds and. in case of a second inva sion, their destruction is not a great loss. American Girls Work. "In the last' drive the American girls did wonderful things in evacu ating the populations. They can drive motors while our own girls can not do that. Of course, there are no priv ate motors in France now because all are commandeered for the military and besides we cannot get gasoline for private use. "France today is one vast refuge for French, Belgian. Serbian, Monteneg ran and other people. One-fifth of its area has been overrun by the enemy and the destruction is complete. They do not satisfy themselves with de stroying one house but destroy them all. We just received sad word of my father s splendid chateau in the Monday, July 22, 1918. STORE NEWS FOR TUESDAY.
