She ran back and walked straight

in some official capacity since he
signed the charter of incorporation
and DR.. johnson, for several years,
procured a small appropriation from
Congress TO supplement the small
income OF the clinic from the nomi-

BY these fees the clinic was able
to raise a small fund for the first
payment on the present clinic home
at 1887 7 street northwest. Since
then the property has. been almost
paid for. AS soon as the remaining
payments are made the clinic will
start a canvass for funds to enlarge

high in medical circles in the Dis
trict despite the comparative nov
city Of women physicians. and DR..
Kinds was known as the daughter

well as for her own professional
work.
Among the medical men who aided
the enterprise in its formative stage
were DR.. William Lee, DR.. D. w.
Prentiss. DR.. H. c. Yarrow. DR.
Swan Burnet. Dr. Rayburn, Dr. H
L. z. Johnson, DR.. D. S. Lamb, Dr.

rHE ARMoRY STILL TO BE COMPLETED

|, It is not an unreasonable complaint that
comes from the National Gnard armory-that
conditions there are such as to discourage at
tendance and interest in the territorial militia.
The last Legislature appropriated all the money
that could be spared for the construction of the
new armory, leaving little for interior furnish
ing and equipment. While conditions now are
not such as to constitute hardships, there are
few comforts and facilities, and it is difficult
to keep up attendance in the guard when the
ordinary conveniences for changing uniforms
and street clothes, bathing, ETC., are absent.
1t will not take a great deal of money to
make the arrnory what it is intended to be
suitable for a gathering place for the young
men of the city as we'll as for military purposes.
Just now it is not even completely suitable for
the latter.
The campaign in support of the National
Guard was made largely On the argument that
membership in the guard, with it's privileges
for use of the armory, would be splendid
asset for the young citizenship of the commun-
ity. The armory was to be made into combi-
nation club house and drill-hall. The idea is
as good as it ever was, but without furnishings
the clubhouse feature is futile
In advance of the meeting of the legislature,
detailed statement is in order from the guard
authorities, showing exactly what is needed and
giving a competent estimate of the appropria-4
ton that should be made.
