Visitors from Los Angeles Entertained While members of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce were being entertained to tifin atthe American Club "by the Shanghai American Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday, their wives enjoyed a Chinese party at the Foo Loo Zoo restaurant with members of the American and Chinese Women's Clubs. 'The Chamber Were also hosts in this instance, and Mrs. Charles M. Campbell, as' the Jonly lady member of it, was Tespon-[sible for the arrangements, assisted by members of the other two clubs. About 65 were present and the guests were Mrs. C. L, Boynton, President of the American Women's Club; Mrs.

Wen, President of the Chinese Women's Club; Mrs. Julean Arnold, Mrs, Milton J. Helmick, and the ladies of the Los Angeles Chamber of Com: merce party.

Duss. Albert Crutcher, who is Pres ident of the Los Angeles Children's Hospital, said that the building was Hollywood landmark and did wonerful work amongst poor families. No colour ban prevailed, she said, and went on to describe brightly furnish ed wards with Japanese, American, Chinese, Jewish, and Negro children lying side by side, each receiving the most expert treatment that Holly. wood can provide. The out-patients [department had grown tremendously, jand this fact Mrs. Crutcher ascribed the depression, felt by Hollywood keenly as other cities. Children of lawyers, architects, and other professional men who had been hard hit by lack of business helped to swell the ranks of patients, and it was usually possible to arrange for this type to be treated at home under medical supervision.

Mrs, Crutcher enlarged upon the new "treatment pool" recently de-leated to the hospital, and the helpful curative work it has done in cases of infantile paralysis. She concluded by urging the women of China (0 cooperate for the good of the community, stating with a smile" it we women who are the real leaders, though of course we need the men to ack us up."
