All persons having at heart the

Must Have Money or Close.
The hospital, which is located on
Massachusetts avenue between eth and
Sth streets northeast. serves a particu-
larly large territory. and is faced with
the alternative of raising $4,000 next
month or being forced to close its doors.
as the increased cost of living Is steadily
plung:ng the corporation deeper in debt.
Already the deficit is more than
$4,000. and the only means of COM
hating the present state of affairs Is
for the public to come to the rescue.
1t is planned to pay off the debts of
the hospital and add the balance Of the
fund raised to the bequest of the late
T. w. Smith of 100000 and raise a
mortgage on the unincumbered prop
erty sufficient to build a one-story an
mex to accommodate fifty beds. The
present capacity is inadequate to take
care of the demands made upon the
staff. The hospital practically serves
three-fourths of the population of
Washington. and even goes into Mary
land for accident victims. Its main
recompense is S1.20 per day for each
natient treated, said money being APP
propriated by Congress. and SO cents
for each ambulance call in it's terri
tory, appropriated by the Associated
Charities The cost of treatment and
service is more than double these
amounts, hence the growing deficit.

MANY EMPLOYEES,

Believed Amendment Re-
stricting Employment of
Substitute Harmful.

Retention of many superannuates in
the government service here after
the enactment of the retirement legis-
lation into law Is expected as the
result of the amendment adopted by
son employed in the District who is
retired under provisions OF the act
during the fiscal year ending June
80. 1921. shall be replaced by addl-
tional employees.
This amendment will defeat the
plain intent of the Sterling-Lehlbach
bill, 1t is declared among govern
ment employees who have worked for
retirement legislation. and constitutes
at the same time n reflection on the
integrity Of administrative officials of
the government departments. 1t is
held.

in their bureaus many superannuated

This is the fear expressed today. and
1t is coupled with the first protests
of some OF the older employed, who de-
clare that they do not want to retire.
anyway, no matter how old they may
be, nor If they do come within the re-
tirement age, whatever it may be as
adopted in conference.
Only Half May he Retired.
There are. IN the federal depart
ments in the District. approximately
$500 employees who are more than
sixty-flve years of age There are
1900 over sixty-eight years old. or
about 1900 over seventy years In
stead of the heads of departments
and bureaus recommending the re-
tirement of this number. it is believed
that probably half of them will be
retained, to meet the intent of the
amendment to the Sterling Lehlbac CHI
bill. which would prohibit the employ
ment of younger employees to take the
places of those retired.
1t is admitted that many of the older
employees. who will come within the
retirement age are not inefficient by
any means. 1t is. therefore, regarded
as most likely that if the amendment
instanced is allowed to stay in effect
the executive heads will retain these
old people who are performing fairly
good work.
Better so per cent work done than
none at ALL" declared one official to-
day. Nor will this be the only situa-
ton created. Over at the Washington
city post office the retirement law
will cause the retirement of perhaps
half a dozen letter carriers. and these

order to keep the delivery of mail

men, under the provision. the office
will be forced to obtain substitute
carriers, rather than regular carriers
The intent of the amendment. it is
believed in the government service,
was to prevent administrative heads
