Trained Nurses in Charge.

At each station trained nurse is main
tained while physicians. who donate their
services. decide what the needs of the in
fants are and how the milk shall be pre-
pared in individual cases. A health rec
ord Is kept so that the progress Of the
infant may be ascertained and, IL neces-
sary, a change made in the preparation
Of the milk.
OF 400 babies fed at the stations this
summer but two deaths have occurred.
The record is regarded as an unusual one.
and the success achieved is largely re-
sponsible for the decision to make the
work permanent. Mr.. Oyster announced
recently that it is his intention to keep
the stations in operation throughout the
year, not merely during the summer
months.

WANTS Joy GARDEN
Suggested Tribute to Memory
of President Lincoln.
ANAlOSTAN ISLAND AS SITE
Joseph ]. 0'Brien Deprecates the
Construction of Memorial of
Unyielding Stone.
The gardens OF Lincoln.

The gardens OF Lincoln
This Is the suggestion Of Joseph j..
OBrien of Washington as a memorial
for the martyred President.
Analostan Island. according to Mr..
O'Brien. could be made into a great ma
sionsl garden. A memorial hall could be
built there. which would perpetuate the
life and works of the President and by
it's usefulness express his attitude toward
life.
Any plan to honor the memory of the
emancipator must embody his spirit, said
Mr.. O'Brien. There should be something
more than a memorial of unyieiding
stone. The President loved laughter and
song, and these characteristics should
not be overlooked. A national garden
where people could gather for recreation
and instruction, would be the most ap-
propriate memorial, IN the opinion Of Mr.
O'Brien, that could be provided.
Argues for His Plan.
Speaking OF the advantages of Analos-
ton Island with respect to location of
national garden, Mr.. O'Brien said:
The Potomac, accommodating its waters
In the Cumberland hills. flows past the
National Capital to its Virginia outlet
Within sight Of the Washington Monu-
ment 1t surrounds Analostan Island, for
gotten in It's native desola1ion.
Il could raise the lands level to avoid
food and subuerge swamp, and here
create q national joy ground. Through
out its area .intersecting canals can be
cut. and within or near ii a great basin,
feeding the canals, can be formed In
the center q memorial structure, In the
form OF q combined open and inclosed
concert edifice could be erected, with it's
walls built for the display OF aquatic
life From the ends OF the island two
cascades can be created to add to its
beauty. while over the island flowers.
trees and plants could unite with the
iutersecting canals to preserve the spirit
OF beauty.
The memorial building, forming a con-
cert hall for use during winter and sum-
mer could perpetuate the image. life and
works Of Lincoln. and by its usefulness
express his attitude to life.
