PALESTINE’S HEALTH
REPORT LAUDS WORK
OF U. S. WOMEN’S UNIT
(By Associated Press)
JERUSALEM, Feb. 6.—The effi
ciency of the Hadassah Medical Or
ganization, an American Jewish wom
en’s association, is praised in the an
nual report of the Palestine govern
ment’s department of health. The
part played by the Hadassah in hos
pitalization is attested to by the
statement that “of the 21,000 patients
treated this year in all the non-gov
ernmental hospitals, one-third was
treated in the Hadassah.
The Hadassah Medical Organiza
tion, the creation of the Women’s Zi
onist Organization of America, de
rives about one-fourth of its $450,
f>00 yearly budget from the Palestine
Foundation Fund.
Speaking of infant welfare, the re
port states: “The drop-of-milk scheme
in Jerusalem has been merged into
the health welfare centers, which
the Hadassah Medical Organization
is conducting on modern lines un
der the direction of well trained and
experienced personnel. The Hadas
sah has opened several new centers
in Jerusalem and extended the work
to other towns during the course of
the year. It has also established the
six months’ course of training for
graduate prospective nurses who wish
to qualify in health welfare work.”
In the chapter on the mortality
rate the report points to the fact
that “as a result of the activities of
the infant welfare stations in Jeru
salem the proportion of deaths among
babies in 1922 was 140 per 1,000
births, as compared with 150 in 1921
1922.*’

(By Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6.-The
California grizzly bear, supposed ex
tinct, has appeared after a lapse of 40
years in the Sequoia National Forest,
according to a reliable report.
At one time the California grizzly

ranges in such large numbers th.t
he was made the official emblem of
the state and still graces the state
flag. He is considerably larger ihan
the Rocky Mountain grizziy, is of a
grayish tinge and has a distinct
hump on top of his shoulders. As a
fighter he was feared by all other
animals of the early California days.
Yet he was not considered by man a
dangerous animal, and he usually
took to fljght on man’s approach.
He was even less carnivorous than
the smaller black of brown bear will
lived largely on acorns, berries, dif
ferent grasses and roots.

“The anti-malaria work accomplish
ed by the research unit has been of
the greatest value,” the director. of
health states, “and its results are al
ready apparent in the disappearance
or great diminuation of primary ma
laria in the Jewish colonies, both
new and old, in Palestine.”
The report states that “hygiene,
work in most of the Jewish schools
was conducted by Hadassah in a
most careful manner.”

school the report recalls that “this
institution continued its work as the
largest center for the education and
training of nurses in the schools.”
Mention is also made of the sick
fund (Kupath Cholim) of the Jewish

Czechs Favor Continued Beer
Price Regulation bjkthe Govt.
(By Associated Press)
PRAGUE, Feb. 6.—A row over the
price of beef is the chief topic of
public interest in the Czech capital
these fine days. The breweries and
the saloon and restaurant keepers
want to see the decree of the min
istry of food rescinded, by which a
maximum price is set upon the bev
erage and the calculation of costs is
made by the government. The liquor
interests want to do their own cal
culating, and to charge whatever the
traffic will bear.
In sharp opposition to them are the
consumers’ organization, which have
urged the retention of governmet
regulation. A recent public hearing
held by the ministry of food broke up
in a row’, both sides becoming so em
bittered that the government repre
sentative, Dr. Ira, had to close it
with the remark that he would re
port the arguments of both sides
to the minister of food.
