or sleep has been practically UNI
changed for the past twenty-five
days. She cannot and has not been
able to speak. She swallows liquid
food taken between her teeth. She
cannot move any part OF her body,
except occasionally her hands, Il very
little, her lips. and sometimes can
open her eyes PARKWAY. DR.. Hamilton,
the Minneapolis specialist, who saw
her ant has been kept posted gives
little encouragement"

CONGRESS PETITIONED FOR
POSTMASTER "RECOMMENDS''
(By United Press)

Washington, March 5-Now comes
the open season for Fostering the
President about postmastershlDs.
Speaking from Presidential stand
point the worry isn't as bad as 1t used
to be when the civil service wasn't
even supposed to apply to postoffice-
ships. or course, there are those here
about who dabble deep in practical
politics who might maintain that
the civil service is still merely a
beautiful theory \as far us postmast-
ers are concerned and the boy with
the biggest political pull invariably
gets the appointment.
The mails of senators and congress-
men are all cluttered up these days
with petitions seeking postmastership
recommendations, for. others things
being equal. the Presidents appoint
ments to postmasterships usually are
the recommendations OF the members
of congress Of his party.
