Dispensaries of the Tuberculosis Commission of the American Red Cross in Italy in the Court Yard of the Ducal Palace at Genoa. See pages 28 and 30.] [Illustration: INTERIOR OF CHILD WELFARE SPECIAL OF THE FEDERAL CHILDREN’S BUREAU For detailed description see page 31.] The Children’s Bureau has provided the following description of the truck and its tour: The truck is modeled very closely upon the dispensary truck used by the Chicago Tuberculosis Institute. The body of the car is constructed of wood, painted white on the inside and battleship gray on the outside. The words, “Child Welfare Special” are lettered in blue and white on each side of the car. The truck is roomy enough for a conference room and two dressing rooms. The conference room is nine and a half feet long, six feet wide, and six feet four inches high in the center. This room has four windows on each side, high enough to be out of reach of prying eyes, yet admitting sufficient light for daytime examinations. The driver’s cab, which is entirely enclosed in glass, can be reached from the conference room by a sliding door; with the shades drawn it forms one dressing room. The open-end gates of the car, provided with double folding doors and heavy curtains that fit into grooves, form a second dressing room. When a mother enters one of the rooms, she has the exclusive use of it until the child has been undressed, examined, and dressed again. Most of the equipment of the truck is built in. A 15-gallon water tank, tucked away over the driver’s cab, is connected by faucet with a stationary washstand in the conference room, which in turn is connected with a drain to the outside. The examining table and the linen lockers are built over the wheel housing, an arrangement that saves space and improves the appearance of the car. A scale for babies and older children is carried in an especially built trunk. There is enough storage space for 2,000 publications, a full set of exhibit material, a balopticon with several boxes of slides, two rolls of moving picture film, several dozen charts for lecture purposes, cot, bedding, and cooking utensils for three persons, a large supply of sheets and muslin squares, and all the other equipment necessary for conducting a children’s health conference. Two systems of lighting, one for a 110-volt current that can be taken from a nearby public building, and the other for a six-volt current taken from the truck’s own batteries, furnish excellent illumination for night work. Two electric heaters have recently been installed for use on cool days. Weather strips have been put on the cab to keep out wind and rain, and a tarpaulin made to fit over the rear doors keeps out the dust.
