BLANCHE WALSH
IS AIDING POOR
ACTRESS ADVANCES PLAN TO
ENDOW HOSPITALS
sion Throughout country-own
Illness Has Shown the
Need of More

Sheppard Friedman, business man
ager for Blanche Walsh, who comes to
the Mason early next montl- in "The
Test" arrived in LOS Angeles from
San Francisco last night to promote
a scheme evolved by the actress for
worthy poor in every hospital in every
city of Importance IN America.
If the plan of Miss Walsh is carried
out, according to Mr. Friedman, the
problem of free beds for the poor will
be universally solved.
Miss Walsh,'' said her business
manager; was taken seriously ill in
Kansas City last year and learned a
lesson which she will not soon forget.
She saw scores of worthy people, some
of them almost at the point of DEATH
unable to enter hospital because they
were either strangers or without funds
Actors and actresses who are con-
tinually travelling usually suffer most
under these conditions. and it is fo1
that reason Miss Walsh is trying to
bring about the realization of her idea.
"She has suggested to the Producing
Managers association of New York
and Las received every encouragement
that one day be set aside during the
current season for a national benefit
the proceeds to be devoted to the en-
dowing of beds in every city where
the benefit takes place. 1t matters
not what the attraction might be- or
the place, the proceeds of that day are
to be devoted to the endowing of beds
in a local hospital. In a city like Los
Angeles the proceeds from such a per-
formance should be $4,000, which would
be sufficient to endow half a dozen
beds for a period of several years.
Primarily these beds are to be used
by itinerant members of the profess
sion who are taken i'll While en- tour.
In the event they are not so occupied
it remains with the discretion of the
hospital authorities to permit any
worthy persons to make use of them.
"The actors fund cares for mem
bers of the profession who are i'll in
New York, but fully a score of per-
sons died last year from pneumonia or
exposure in endeavoring to return to
the east"
Miss Walsh. said her representative,
has secured the cooperation of hos
pitals in 101 cities SO far this season,
and as soon as she receives some deli
mite reply from the Managers associa-
ton will make plans for what promises
to Be the biggest theatrical benefit in
the history of the world. The actress
plan has been called to the attention
of the managers of L,ndon, and they
have signified their intention of join
ing the movement as soon as the final
details have been announced in this
country.

CARS ON DELAYED TRAIN
LEAVE RAILS; NONE HURT
Pennsylvania Flyer, in Effort to Make
Up Lost Time, Meets with
Accident

PITTSBURG. Feb. 20.-As Pennsyl-
yania train No. 30. which usually
makes New York in twenty-four hours
from st. Louis, was seeking to regain
about thirty minutes lost time by a
fast run over a level stretch of the
Panhandle division, five of it's six cars
Jumped the track a mile west of Scio,
O., at o'clock today. The twenty
nine passengers aboard, most of whom
were asleep, We're shaken from their
berths. and some suffered from shock,
but none was injured seriously.
Two hours later they were trans
ferred to a westbound train, which ran
back seventy-five miles to Pittsburg,
whence they took another train to
New York.
Railroad officials believe a broken rail
caused the wreck. Neither of the two
locomotives, nor the mail car left the
rails. other cars remained upright
after their plunge from the track.

Beware Pneumonia!

According to mortality statistics,
pneumonia is one of the most fire.
quent and fatal diseases to which
humanity is subject. Its action is so
rapid that its victim is often in
precarious condition before realizing
that anything more serious is the
matter than a severe cold.
This is one of the dangers apt to
follow the neglect of a cough or cold.
and Is therefore the best of reasons
why one should check a cold at the
start. A simple, inexpensive and ef-
fective remedy for coughs and colds
is made by mixing two ounces OF
glycerine, a half ounce of Virgin OIL
of Pine compound pure and eight
ounces of pure whisky. These can be
bought in any good drug store and
mixed together in a large bottle.
Take a teaspoonful four times day.
1t is claimed by the Leach Chemical
Co. of Cincinnati, who prepare the
genuine Virgin Oil of Pine COM
pound pure that this mixture will
break up a cold in twenty-four hours
and cure any cough that is curable.

TALK OF REARRAhC|NG
JUDICIAL CIRCUITS
Want Judge Robinson to Sit
in Court Of Warwick and
York Counties.

According to the Richmond Times
Dispatch of yesterday, the incoming
members OF the general assembly
fro Tidewater Virginia are talking OF
the formation of new judicial circuit
TO be composed of the counties OF Ac-
comac and Northampton, on the East
ern Shore of Virginia. which comprised
a circuit prior to the days of the new
constitution.
The formation Of the new circuit
would necessitate Encouragement OF
several of the other districts. The
proposition as outlined now Is to put
the counties Ct Warwick and York
in Judge Clarence w. Robinson's cir
cult in place of Accomac and North
ampton. and to put Henrico in Judge
d. Gardiner Tyler's circuit instead OF
warwick and York. This would leave
Judge r. Carter Scott with no court
except that of the city of Richmond
1t is said that both Judge Robinson
and Judge Scott favor the proposed
changes. but that Judge Tyler objects.
