WOUNDED MEN i
IN BATH TUBS
WATCH MOVIES
LONDON. Jan., 20— A moving pic- j
.ure audience in bath tubs through j
,hich warm water flows is the enter
ainment oddity provided in tilm
ihows by the American Y. M. C. A.
it the hospital under the shadows ot
ting’s College, Cambridge, where
.ouruled men from France are treuv
d. In one ward certain of the pa
dents who have had very serious, sep
dc wounds are having water treat- j
0
ment.
To look at^ these men you. rrigh
hink they were lying comfortably i;
,ed, propped up with pillows. The>
are really sitting in bath tubs in
water to their waists. A const am
stream of water with a temperature
jf ninety-eight is kept running
.hrough the tub, purifying and clean
ing the wounds, which have no othei i
Iressing. A kind of magnified lap i
board covers the top of the tub. ano !
is in turn covered by a long, bright ;
patch quilt. And there the men sit •
on air cushions, leaning against an
pillows, day and night, sometimes
for weeks at a time. Only the most
serious cases are put into these tubs
men who otherwise have little chanc
of recovery and not without the am
putation of a limb. But never yet ha
a case so treated been lost.
“It’s beastly uncomfortable th-;
first week,” said th© record case o‘
the ward a British tommy who wa>
for eleven weeks in the bath. “Youi
legs ache, and you have the watei
rash. But in a week, at most, you get
over that, and then it is more com
fortable than being in bed. In facf.:
after they put you back in bed you
can’t sleep for a while, it’s so hard.’
The American Y. M. C. A. has been
sending these men “movies” twice n
week. A screen has been arranged at
one end of the hut and there all the
screen favorites play their parti
while men sit comfortably in then
tubs. And when the show is over ail
they have to do is to turn out the
lights and go to sleep.
