Care of Shell Shock

cases and those of the insane or ment-

classes in separate institutions.
"Thc necessity of this policy was
emphasized by the early experience

eral Ireland of the army, which
when plunged into the war, had nc
special preparation for the reception
of the nervous and mental cases
which were returned from France in
such large numbers. These patterns
unclassifed and undfstinguished

apparent and was corrected, but the
lesson was one which made a deep
impression on the medical depart
ment of the United States army when
its turn came to organize methods for
the distribution and treatment of pa
tients of these two classes.
THE very first memorandum on
this matter, which took form in the
office of the surgeon general, de-
fined the absolute necessity of a
sharp distinction between pu ely nerv-
GUS and mental cases. This policy
has been followed OUT strictly in
France. where the evacuation and
treatment hospitals for the insane
or so-called Shell shock cases are
along quite different routes"

TEX RICHARD REGARDED
AS KING PROMOTER

/,
Tex Richard has associated himself !
with only big things in the promoting |
business, and the foundation OF his
present high standing in the promot
ing end of the fight game rests on
three memorable battles he arranged.
incidentally all three matches were
gambling propositions, but Richards, a
reckless gambler, took his chances and
was successful in all the adventures.
The first big ring event was the Mel
son-Gans contest at Goldfie1d, New. in
1906. The receipts of the battle
amounted to S69715. For his labor
Rickard took $4,000. The Johnson
Jeffries contest at Reno, New, in 1910
was his second big match, and for this
he received about $4,000, and his third
adventure was the Willard Moran bat
tie, staged in the Garden a few years
ago. 1t netted the promoter about
$40 600
Richard evolved the idea for
his first venture as a promoter
in this city. He did not have
any too much money but was in
terested in a gambling house in
Goldfeld, a small mining town.
While he lacked the necessary inan-
cial backing for big match he pos
sessed nerve-nerve of a gambler. Be
fore Nelson and Cans could be brought
together a purse of $4,000 had to
be guaranteed. In those days a guar
! antee of such huge proportion was
thing unheard of, and many expert
enced promoters called Richard a
fool. Tex went through with it and
it's result is history. Besides starting
the adventurer on a career as a pro-
moter it put Goldfeld, New, on the
map. The battle demonstrated to
! Richard the possibilities of wealth
| through the promotion of big ring
contests, and when the time came
! for white man to wrest the heavy
weight championship from Johnson
the daring gambler persuaded Jeffries
| to come out of retirement.

Urban Dwellers Are
Buying Acreage Sites
Several Close for Sites on Mas.
sau Point, on Which They
Will EJECT Fine Homes

Nassau Point on Peconic Bay, which
was purchased recently by syndicate
headed by Jerome H. Pennock and de-
veloped into a residential park, knowp
as the Nassau Point Club, is meeting
with much success. New Workers and
folks from other sections Of the
metropolitan district, especially New
Jersey, have bought acreage sites
there and plan 10 erect fine homes.
There seems to be an active demand
for such property at this time. Folks
are leaving urban sections for the
country, where they can build homes
such as would be impossible in the
city or in the immediate vicinity.
Mr.. Pennock announced yesterday
the sale of several large plots at the
Nassau Point Club properties. A. c.
Aborn, of Montclair, N. j., bought ten
acres there facing the Peconic Bay and
plans to build for himself and two
friends. Mrs. Jessica Lozier Payne,
lecturer on current events at the
Brooklyn Institute, has purchased an
acre plot; John B. Slee, of Slee G.
Bryan, architects on Montague Street,
Brooklyn, has taken two acres, and
Alfred L. Seaver, secretary of the
Greenwood Cemetery Corporation, has
purchased two acres.
Negotiations are under way for the
sale of several other large parcels in
the clubs grounds, which are said to
be the finest located property on the
picturesque Peconic Bay.
