Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee Finds Complaints Are
Groundless.
(fleers of the Atlanta Associated
iarities discussed with gratification
, iu rsday the thoroughgoing indorse-
<ent of their work by the special
unnittee of the Atlanta Chamber of
inmerce.
The committee, named as the re
sult of several minor complaints in
respect to tho Associated Charities’
i ethods, found the complaints to be
groundless and discovered so much
o commend that they reported at
•mglh on the good work of the or
ganization, and urged that contribu-
i us for charity be given to the As
sociated Charities in preference to
any similar body, because of the cer-
i.Lnty that it would be Judiciously ex -
iended.
Only two criticisms were offered,
me was that the organization, prob
ably erred in being too painstaking
in llie keeping - of some of its records
Change Recommended.
I was recommended that certain
jf the records in respect to treatment
> r easels be less voluminous. In this
vay it was thought clerical expenses
•vould be minimized.
Another recommendation was made
at the records of disbursements of
ends to individuals be made more
omplete by obtaining a receipt from
lie recipient.
Referring to the work of tiie Asso
rted Charities, the report s&ys:
It is our opinion that the best work
eing done is along the lines of treat-
ijn nt and prevention of diseases
imong the poor. The association di-
iefes this work into two phases. First,
« treatment of diseases in tho indi
vidual family, second, undertaking to
, lease and improve the general fa-
lities for treating and preventing
meases and sickness in a community,
-specially in relation to the poor.
•in regard to the first phase, the
issoeiation endeavors always to see
I that every needy family concerning
| whom llu re is any indication of dis-
I ease receives medical attention, lr.
I securing - such treatment for these
! people, they use tiie Grady Hospital,
college clinics and the services of pri
vate practitioners. For the month of
October, 1913. almost 100 cases were
I referred for treatment to private
practitioners who gave their services
free.
“During the past year the associa
tion expended more than $600 for
medicines alone, which they distrib
uted to the poor, and a large sum of
money was used to supply suitable
eyeglasses. During the past year the
association has secured the services
of physicians for 958 families and di
rected to clinics and places in the
hospital members of 557 families, se
cured nurses in 140 families, and fur
nished glasses and medicines to mem
bers of 583 families.
“The second phase of the medical
work has Us relation to the improve
ment of the general facilities and the
prevention of disease.
Students Aid in Work.
“They have recently organized a
medical students’ committee, among
the fourth-year men of the Atlanta
Medical t’ollege, whose members they
use to supplement the work of the
two city physicians. These students
voluntee • for work in the home* of
the poor of the city, where it is not
always necessary to have a more ex
perienced doctor. From this commit
tee they hope to develop among the
students such appreciation of the
need of hospital social service that, in
time, a department of medical social
service will be established in the Gra
dy Hospital.

Fitting Your Needs
Of course, any really mod

have different sizes of car
riages. We have carriages
that will take any width of
paper from narrow roll paper
to sheets HO inches wide.
In addition to this we have
over twenty different kinds of
carriages to handle special

No other adding machine
company in the world makes
so .many different kinds of
carriages to specifically meet
the requirements of the case.

Newsboy Saves His i
Pennies To Be Doctor
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Women
storpied the court of .fudge Foster
to-day in an attempt to attend the
trial of Hans Schmidt, the renegade
priest accused of murdering Anna
Aumuller, and precipitated a near-
riot.
When the trial began Judge Foster
barred the morbid and curious from
his room, but more than 100 women
appeared to-day and stormed the
door in a body. They were ordered
away by the bailiff on guard at the
door and then they “rushed'’ him.
Several got by the guard, but oth
er court attendants rushed to his aid
and they were driven out. When
they were ejected several of the
women became- hysterical and had to
be led from the building’.
Schmidt s aged father was spurned
by the defendant to-day. The older
man. who came from Germany with
his daughter to aid hte son. wept
when he was told that Schmidt would
not see him.
"f will see my sister, but I don’t
want to see my father," said the
prisoner. “Why should I see my
father? I don’t care anything about
him.”
Later he changed his mind and the
father and sister went to Schmidt’s
cell together. The old man threw his
arms about his son’s neck, and in
sobs declared his belief in the pris
oner’s innocence.
The sister also wept and begged
her brother to assure her he was in
nocent, but he refused to answer.
