A PLACE To PUT YOUR MONEY

ILToMEN physicians have justified them
wv selves There is no longer any doubt
of their ability to treat the sick, If we are
10 have women physicians we must have
medical colleges for their training, and if
the colleges are 10 do their work efficiently
they must be properly endowed
The campaign, therefore, of the Woman's
Medical College of Pennsylvania to increase
its endowment by half million dollars ought
10 succeed. And il will succeed in proportion
TO the skill with which the needs and desert
OF the college are made known 10 the men
and women with money seeking ways to use

Many Phladelphians could give the whole

Maseheld tells how he was hired. 1t was
this way:
The proprietor of the bar, a small, pale man
in tweed suit, panama hat and tar boots

Say he said. speaking slowly. do you want

"When my hair had been clipped the pro-
prietor brought out a white jacket and an apron

the bar TO clean glasses. There were two other
bartenders My duties were u clean the glasses

Masefeld was born in Ledbury, Shrop-
shire. AS a youth he disdained school and
books, and would frequently leave home on
long tramps without telling his people where
he was going or how long he would stay
His parents, in effort to mend such habits,
indentured him to the captain of merchant
ship. lie was then IA years old. In the old
square riggers he sailed over a great part
OF the worlds navigable waters sometimes

Masefeld comes back to America from
France and the Dardanelles, where he has
been aiding and succoring the stricken in
battle Ten or fifteen years ago John Mase-
field, obscure, unknown, passed the Statue
of Liberty homeward bound-back to the
England where he was born forty-one years
ago the son of farmer lie had worked as
a farm hand in New York State. In the city
of New York he had worked for a baker.
THE baker," said Masefield the other day,
made patented kind of bread; but | don't
think it much of success, as l have
never heard of it since"
He worked and he went without work.
Gracefully, pluckily, he starved in the garret
of house in Greenwich Village Doughnuts
and free lunch were his fare. Days and
nights he looked for a job, searched among
the cheap eating houses, the livery stables,
bakeries, wholesale stores and along the
water front, He wore sailors dungarees, red
shirt and an old slouch hat. Finally he got
a job as bartender and handy man in the
saloon Of the Columbia Hotel. When Mase-
field came to his fame only three or four
years ago literary biographers looked for the
saloon where the poet had worked in New
York Two or three claims have been put
forth for priority of discovery. but Masefed
or Luke OConnor could have told the secret
which is no secret at all and never has been.
The old building has been torn down. but
the Columbia Hotel, opposite jefferson Mar
ket still exists and Luke OConnor is still its
proprietor.

The candidate was accompanied on

policemen were on guard in addition
