INCORRIGIBILITY CURE SEEN
Post Graduate Hospital Says Bad
Children Lack Thyroid Extract

Many of the children committed to
institutions as incorrigibles are really
only suffering from mental instability
caused by their physical condition. &C
cording to report issued by the clear
ing house for detectives Of the Post
Graduate Hospital.
Most of these, the report says, are
suffering from a lack of thyroid eX
tract, without which it is impossible
for the brain cells to remain normal.
This condition can be remedied by the
administration of thyroid extract, it is
said.
At least half OF those children usual
ly judged juvenile delinquents, the
clearing house believes, should receive
medical treatment or else be sent 20
some institution for the feeble-minded.

The Coming Tower
DRIVING At NIGHT.

NV headlights boring through tho dark
Make Of The thrice familiar road
\ thing fantastic and unknown,
OF black cave mouths,
And startling Drinks above sheer abyss,
And rushing ribbon winding up
Beneath my wheels
Unreal, hypnotic, lulling me to sleep
The lcsflcss maple The bend
i como upon it suddenly
Is a fountain strangely crystallizcd,
\ spray jet frozen in gray death.
The lights vecr off tit is gone
And Mobiles corn shocks in the field
Arc tents of some ghost army, campcd and still
The road is nowhere now,
But turning wheels continue of themselves.
They find the road out like human foot
And then once more
The ribbon winds and winds
Unreal, hypnotic,
Till it seems
That must close my eyes and sleep
IT'S great to drive at night! a man once said.
For him. perhaps
For me-somc time my eyes Uli close;
Then they will hold inquest
And wonder how it to pass.

Checks Received Before
Campaign to Raise
100000 Is Started
COMMITTEE TO SEND
TWENTY FLOTILLAS
Each Will Make Enough
Ice to Supply Twenty
Field Hospitals

With several large checks already re-
ceived before the official launching OF
its nationwide campaign for 100000
the American Ice Flotilla Committee,
Of which Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith
IS president, feels confident that it will
meet with as great success as il dld
last year, when it raised $4,000 for
portable hospital equipment for the
French army. Pierre de Lanux, who
came from France 10 aid Miss Smith,
has recently returned from a trip 10
several Western cities where plans
were made for the organization Of
local committees, and the actual work
Of raising the new fund will begin
soon.
Twenty ice fotillss, each costing So
900 and consisting of one ice-making
machine, one automobile delivery truck
fitted as a refrigerator and sixty re
frigerator boxes of fifty pounds capac-
ity, is the gift to France which the
committee purposes.
Last Years Gift Appreciated
The great value of last years gift Of
radoscopic machines, sterilizing and
douche wagons ia attested by letters Of
appreciation from the French Ministry
OF War and the Service de Sant6. The
proposed gift has already been offici-
ally accepted By NJ. BRAND. Prime Min
ister Of France, in message trans
mitted to Miss Robinson Smith BY Am
bassador Jusserand and by Justin God
ard, Minister of the Service de Sante
Ice has become invaluable in surgical
work in field hospitals. 1t eases pain,
lessons fever, relieves Inflammation
and in the winter is of great value in
pneumonia cases. The only way in
which it can be obtained at the front
is to manufacture IL near the points OF
use and TO transfer L as needed, and
this can be done only through mobile
ice machines.
The hotillas which the Ice F!otilla
Committee plans to send to France will
each make twenty tons Of ice day and
each will supply twenty hospitals
To Be Part of Field Equipment
The outfits will be placed directly
under the general commanding the
army corps to which they may be as
signed, and will thus become an in
tegral par. of the equipment OF the
fighting force.
The $4,000 raised last year came en-
tirely from New York City. In It's new
campaign in the wider national tleld
the Ice Flotilla Committee is asking
that local organizations or groups o.
friends or individuals contribute at
least one ice hotilla each. The name,
symbol or arms Of the donor will be
stamped on each iotilla beneath the
flag OF the United States.
The New York Office of the commit
tee is at SO West Thirty-ninth Street,
where inquiries or checks may be ad-
dressed.
