Kmergency Hospitals Will
ably firing About a
Change.
The Emergency Hospital i„ Wash-
ington is making a strong effort to SH.
cure automobiles instead ,,f aml
lances drawn by horse ,,„Wer fl)r j(>
service. The reasons given f„r lllp
change are cogent. Jt is sta,H(l „
us tlungs are, a horse used f„r ,|,j,
purpose lasts little more than « year
fn spite of the best of care and ti*at'
ment The "ru.h order," i„ summer
are numerous, and the hordes are of.en
compelled to travel on the jump for
a mile or two and back, in the I,.at „f
the day, on account of the number .f
heat prostrations which occur at that
time. The ho-pital authorities «av
that if they could have automobile,
the condition of things would be better
both for them and the public, to <„v
nothing of the horses.
This is a matter which should inter
est any city government: and it may
be suggested that the same arguments
would hold fairly good in the of
the horse and the fire department
though, as fires seldom occur in the
middle of the day in summer the
question of intense heat does ll(,t en
terinto the case. Kut there is no
doubt that emergency hospital work
(•extremely hard on horses, as they
are practically required to play the
double role of race horses and draught
animals. Aside from the humanity of
the thing, it might be good economy
to make the change. The automobile
would never be tired, never have a sun-
stroke, cost but little for fuel and care,
ami last a long time; moreover it
would do the work or more than one
horse, because it would require no
rest at night.
It is true that an automobile, in
the hands of inexperienced people, is
rather a dangerous machine. It has
on occasion shown a curious tendency
to climb trees; and it would be any-
thing but agreeable to have such a de-
Telopment take place with an uncon-
•cious person severely injured, repos-
"|R in the body of the vehicle. But it
•bould be remembered that most auto-
mobile accidents have occurred when
people without special training in the
management of the machines were in
charge of them. For example, a New
' °rk society leader on one occasion
caused his automobile to turn rapid
somersaults from the top to the bottom
of a steep and stony-hearted hill. The
society leader in the meantime had
'eft the machine, but followed its ex-
ample closely, and reached the bottom
"f the hill finally on the back of his
neck. This, however, was due to his
having tried to back the automobile,
« hile forgetting to shut off the current
impelling it forward; and, il he had
told a team of oven to "gee" and
haw" simultaneously, it is probable
'hat something would have happened,
•he hospital automobile would hi
'hi hands of trained and expetienced
employes, and when treated well, the
machine is as gentle as a horse, often
"dvertised, that a woman can drive
It has taken some time for the pub-
b( to perceive that humane measuri
Hrp. in the long run, generally the
*af< st and cheapest. If there comes a
time when for all service involving in-
tense nervous strain in addition to
muscular exertion, or untiring and un-
varying activity, electricity, steam, or
some other inanimate agent is em-
Ployed instead of Hesli and blood, it
"ill lie a happy day both for human-
"y ""d f°r Hie brute creation. Where
■ntelligent and sympathetic co-opera-
tion nre necessary, the horse should be
"sed for draught purposes; but where
•'mple power is all that is required,
' et tricity and stenm can do the work
011 and, as a rule, more cheaply.
