"PLAY BALL"
BY Wing Dinger

You can sing about the bluebirds
And the robin red-breasts. call,
But the sight that beats them all,
these days,
Is the kiddies passing ball.
I'll tell you, brother, summer
Is coming pretty quick;
1t won't be long until the days
OF play with ball and stick.
Just think of days that sizzie.
With heat at ninety-four;
Just think Of how you'll yell as
Your team rolls UP the score.
Just think of fourteen innings
The score stands one to one
Just think Of dear. old Casey
A-making that home run.
My boy, I'm really trying
To very patient be
Until the time comes round again
For me game to see.

THE LEGISLATURE REDUCES MPROPRIA
TION BY S2Oe.939.

The direct appropriation for. the yearly main
tcrancc Of the fourteen hospitals for the insane
in this state was reduced $200.939 by the
iraordinary session Of the Legislature in May.
But. besides this. it the cutting of the
board moneys all Of which have previously
been rcapproprated by the Legislature to the
Stotc Hospital Commission. which was the bit
tercst disappointment Instead of the entire
amount of 100000. which had been turned back
by the various hospitals to the state treasury,
being rcaDproprated for distribution among the
hospitals according to their needs, had been
done before. only $4,000 was so returned. In
the light Of what had always been the State
Hospital Commission had already apportioned
the entire amount. 100000. to the different in
stitutions and the hospital arrangements had
made up their budgets for the present year ac-
cordingly The fiscal year ends September 30.
and quick work had to be done by the various
.u7criutcndents 10 bring the expenditures of the
remaining four months within the income. Be
sides. plans had to be formulated to bring next
years policy within the shortened maintenance
fund
Regarding the cutting down Of this income,
Everett s. Elwood executive secretary commit
tee on mental hygiene, State Charities Aid As
sociation, had this to say: THE failure to APP
Iropratc the amount due the hospitals was
entirely unjustihablc. 1t done in the face OF
protests from the State Hospital Commission
and directions from the Governor that standards
a. care must no. be lowered. In order to close
the year without a deficit, many OF the institu
tions will have to resort to serious privatons

standard Of care.
