To the Editor Of the EUeninO Public Ledger:
Sir-Ths is brief but correct account of
the present arrangement between the United
States Government Naval Department and the

The Methodist Episcopal Hospital promised
last spring to cooperate with the Government
in caring for the sick boys enlisting under
the colors. Therefore, when a representa-
tive of the Government visited the hospital
and asked for beds to accommodate one hun.
dred sick soldiers a prompt offer of fifty beds
was made and accepted. the whole number
TO be ready on Wednesday, January 16 They
came in squads of fourteen, six, nine and
eleven. These patients were largely here for
medical treatment, a few being surgical cases.
Nearly all were conyalescents. Colds had
been contracted, resulting in sore throats
rheumatism, pneumonia, etc. None were
wounded for none had been in any battles
Many were located here and had been spend.
ing their nights at home. AS soon as the
agreement had been reached Miss Mary b.
Pelrce president Of the Woman's Hospital
Association, very helpful company, was
called and asked If furnishings could be Sc.
cured for fifty beds by Wednesday, January
16, and she said yes. This organization had
assumed the work of securing all the linen
for beds this year, hence the request. We
will do all possible for Uncle Sam in these
days. 1 hope you may aid us in getting
money for our regular work

In half a day, or sooner.
"Wake up, there!" yelled the stevedore--
An, oh, twas grand the way he swore--
"There's seven hundred an ten ton more
Of kegs an boxes upon the shore:
Sure ye won't be through in half year.
But Dan, with a sneer,
Sez: "Never fear,
Though there's only two of us here"
Proud was the grin that Tony wore
AS he tipped his hat to the stevedore;

ooh, musha, man." sez Dublin Dan,
As he grabbed box in one big han
An keg or two in the other,
eff Tony here was an Irishman
We wouldn't have any bother"
Then the boss began to yell an swear:
"There's dinnymite in that box there!
Don't drop it now-take care! take care
That same stuff once blowed up ten mel
An it's like to do the same agent"
But Dan, wild a sneer,
Sez: "Where's the fear?
Sure there's only two of us here"

THE HAIR CROP

DR. r. w. MULLER, who has spent his life
~ in the study Of the hair and rs familiar
with all that has been discovered about "
in this and European countries, says that
the average number of hairs to the square
inch on the human scalp is about 1000, but
varies with the color and characteristics Of
the hair As a rule, the finer the hairs the
thicker they cover the head, the number o.
the whole scalp ranging from $4,000 to iSV,.
900, with about 10000 as the average heo
hair, however, is generally less thick IN "
growth than other colors, often falling as low
as $4,000 for the whole scalp. Brown nan
runs about 10000 and very blond hair about
150, 900 for the whole head. Each hair, nc
says has its own length Of life, when va
ries for the individual hairs according to con.
ditloning circumstances which science has MOI
yet determined. The life of the scalp halr
varies from one TO six years while the his
time of the eyelash is said to be one hundIse
and thirty days. The rate of growth In tns
hair of young and healthy scalp Is apoe
three-fourths Of an inch a month. Halr ~
serbs moisture and is so elastic that II car
be stretched from one-ffth to one-third o.
it's normal length. These two facts explain
the reasons for the greater curliness OF nal,
in a damp atmosphere, for the absorpV'
moisture lengthens the hair.

AMERICANISM
CoD moves in mysterious way His

EoD moves in mysterious way His
wonders to perform.
Three and a half years ago q sweet girl
stood at the door Of her home in Belgium
and heard the distant thunder Of German
guns beginning their assault on the ideals
which humanity has cherished for twenty
centuries. Was it a miracle that last night
this same girl now ripened by tragedy into
womanhood, stood before a great assembly
OF Phlladelphians and electrified it by the
very simplicity OF her story? There have
been great orations in history and men
have spoken with tongues Of fire. but never
we believe in the history Of patriotic cele-
brations in Philadelphia has there been
anything to equal in dramatic power and
effect the unadorned narrative Of this girl
before the Poor Richard Club assemblage
last night.
Men seemed to shrink as she told her
story, and again their veins seemed TO
swell and their bodies TO loom larger in
bulk as she gave glimpses of the high
tragedy and the Godinspired heroism
which met it in Belgium. Every word she
spoke pierced the arnor Of our own self
satisfaction. She rocked and swayed that
audience as if it had been putty in her
hands, and the very Innocence of her con.
clusions drove stab after stab into our
complacency.
Yet she painted no dark pictures, never
dipped her tongue into the vocabulary Of
blood, intimated rather than painted
sketches OF atrocities. She simply laid
truth naked on the screen and no man
could see it there without clenchlng his
fist, tightening his belt and vowing before
--high heaven that whether it he his fate
TO work at home behind the lines or at
the front in the trenches he will give and
give gladly all that he is, all that he hopes
to be, all that he owns to the cause that
has swept beyond national boundaries and
become from the viewpoint Of civilization,
universal.
