Moro Story Of the Flood.

MORO otoFy u IhS T'ooo'
! The legend Of the flood as told by
the Moros is as follows: -..
when the forty days and nights OF
rain came No and his family got into
box. One pair of each sort of bird
and beast also came in. Men who
were busy with their ordinary occupa-
lions and did not enter the box were
overtaken by the flood. Those who
ran to the mountains became mon
keys; those who ran to the water, fish.
The Chinaman changed to hornbill.
A woman who was eating the fruit of
seaweed and would not stop was
changed into a fish called dugong,
and her limbs can still be seen under
it's skim" re A

PATIENTS AT ASYLUM
NOT REQUIRED TO PAY
Assistant Attorney General Rules
That Superintendent May Use
Discretion.

Persons in need of treatment at the
Government Hospital for the Insane may
go there whether they are able to pay for
treatment or not according to an opinion
by Oscar Lawler. assistant attorney gen.
eral Of the Interior Department.
In a letter to the Secretary of the In
terror Mr.. Lawler makes that answer to
the inquiry whether or not people with
money can be treated at the institution.
The matter has been agitated by DR.. VIII
liam A. White, superintendent of the in
stitution, and has been receiving the at
tention OF the Commissioners 1t has
been found that patients whose families
are able to pay for their support have left
1t to the institution to foot the bills for
their treatment, and the hospital has no
machinery for enforcing collection.
In his opinion, speaking Of patients who
have property. income or who are other
wise ''non-indigent,'' the assistant attor-
ney general says:
There can be no doubt of the authority
to receive such patients: at the same time
study of the statutes is convincing that
this hospital was established primarily
for the INDECENT insane, and no command
is laid upon the hospital authorities to re-
ceiTe pay patients from civil life Per-
mission is given to receive such patients
from the District of Columbia when there
Is room for them. and while beyond the
legitimate scope of this opinion, j venture
ercised within the law will do much to
prevent an overcrowded condition or
financial loss. and will obviate the neces-
sity Of strained and unwarranted con-
StructiO1 Of statutes in furtherance of adj
ministratlve convenience"
