Chamber of Commerce Commit
tee Finds Complaints Are
«
Groundless.
« (fleers of the Atlanta Associated
unties diseussed with gratification
rsday tn^ thoroughgoing indorse-
111 of their work hv the special
nmittee of the Atlanta Chamber of
inmerce.
The committee, named as the re
sult of several minor complaints in
expect to the Associated Charities’
ethods, found the complaints to be
groundless and discovered so much
i commend that they reported at
ngth on the good work of the or-
einizatlon, and urged that contribu-
ons for charity be given to the As-
scclated Charities in preference to
any similar body, because of the eer-
i.iinty th^t It would be Judiciously ex-
:ended.
Only two criticism severe offered.
• >ne was that the organization prob
ably erred in being too painstaking
In the keeping of some of its records
Change Recommended.
1 was recommended that certain
f the records in respect to treatment
• cases be loss voluminous. In this
ay it was thought clerical expenses
vould be minimized.
Another recommendation was made
:at the records of disbursements of
1 ds to individuals be made more
omplete by obtaining a receipt from
he recipient.
Referring to the work of the Asso-
. iated Charities, the report says:
•It Is our opinion that the best work
eing done is along the lines of treat-
nu nt and prevention of diseases
among the poor. The association di-
\; es this work into two phases. First,
♦ !-< treatment of diseases in the indi-
\ h'.ual family, second, undertaking to
m rcase and improve the general fa
cilities for treating and preventing
! oases and sickness in a community,
specially in relation to the poor.
“In regard to the first phase, the
association endeavors always to see
that every needy family concerning
whom there is any indication of dis
ease receives medical attention. In
securing such treatment for these
people, they use the Grady Hospital,
college clinics and the services of pri
vate practitioners. For the month of
October, 1913, almost 100 cases wore
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 908 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 its 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 College, whose members they
use to supplement the work of the
two city physicians. These students
volunteer for work in the homes 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.

New Haven Road
Passes Dividend
BOSTON, Dec. 11.—Though many
women and children dependent upon
trust estates will suffer from the ac
tion of the directors of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad in
passing the quarterly dividend yes
terday, business men who are affil
iated with the management of the
road declared to-day that the action
was for the best.
NEW YORK. Dec. 11. Women
stormed the court of Judge Foster
to-day in an attempt to attend the
trial of Hans Schmidt, the renegade
priest accused of murdering Anna
Amnuller, 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 spumed
by the defendant to-day. The older
man. who came from Germany with
his daughter to aid his son, wept
when he was told that Schmidt would
not see him.
"I 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.”
Eater 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 w'ept and begged
her brother to assure her he was in
nocent, but he refused to answer.
Fitting Your Needs
Of course, any really mod
ern adding machine ought to
have different sizes of car
riages. We have carriages
that will take any width of
paiter from narrow roll patter
to sheets 20 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.
You pay only for what you
get. and you get the best that
you pay for.
