Quite aside from the general ques-

Central control has been demon

be carried out successfully except by
actual government operation and,
more important still, the military and

would be unsafe, speaking in n broad

The only way by which real safety

that he was most delighted when he

But more than this, Mr. Schmidt was
pleased because he felt himself to be
a part OF the worship and entered
most cordially into the spirit OF the
service

little need OF speaking much. He is

sends its own messages and does not
interfere with the sending Of messages
on other wires. The location and ex-
istence OF these wires and cables IS
a matter which can be determined al
most at a moments notice. The con-
troll OF these is an easy matter from
the military or naval point OF view.
Wireless is entirely different The
sending and receiving machinery is
small and readily concealed and the
actual transmission OF the message
is through the waves OF the air. This
means, OF course, that interference

need FUNDS now
FOR HOPE FARM
DR.. Robin Points Out Ne
ceSsity of Immediate Aid
for Sanitarium
DON'T WANT TO
DISMISS PATIENTS

The tuberculosis patients now be-
ing cared for at Hope Farm which
have been supported by the county OF
New Castle will have to be sent away
from the institution unless money Is
forthcoming from some source in the
near future, according to DR.. Albert
Robin. medical director OF the Anti
Tuberculosis Society, which has the
institution in charge.
The number OF county patients is
seventeen. or these. seven are abso-
lutely without homes. Most Of them
are in late stages OF tuberculosis. To
send them away from Hope Farm
would mean turning them into the
street, Dr. Robin says, since there is
no other institution in the State
which can take care Of them. The
other ten patients have some sort Of
homes to go to, and they are. as a
rule, not so far advanced In the disease
SO that they can more easily be tax
en- care OF.
The situation has come about
through the refusal OF the Levy
Court to appropriate additional
money for the support OF the county
alton Of $4,000 made last July having
become exhausted. The county has
been paying 81 a week for support
Of each patient and this support, al
though as low as in other States, it
is declared, has required an expen-
diture Of 81 a week This additional
81 a week has been raised from other
sources, mostly private.
With only about two-thirds Of the
total cost Of support OF the tubercu-
losis patients OF the county provided
by the Levy Court, 1t has been posi-
BILE to get along until this time when
this support is cut OF, and the insti-
tuition can no longer provide for the
afflicted ones.
1t is not intended even now, however,
to turn out the patients until absolute
~ necessary, and they are being kept
IN the hope that something can be
done TO care for them. II nothing
can be done, It is said. the patients
which have homes will be sent away
first, and an attempt made to care
for the homeless ones as long as
possible.
DR.. Robin said also that the assist

has been very slight, the contribu-
ron being only $4,000 It has been
costing the institution about $4,000
TO run. $4,000 OF this coming from
the City Of Wilmington, $4,000 from
The county and $1,000 from the
State. OF the SO patients at the in
stitution, only four are State pa
TENTS.
The difficulty with the proposition
OF state aid, DR.. Robin said today
is that the money is given 10 the
State tuberculosis Commission, and
may be spent in any way adjudge6
