Last Sunday the Rambler made
passing mention Of Mrs. Lander and
he feels that it would be interesting
and instructive to some of you II he
were to give more space to that fine
woman and admirable actor. Mrs
Lander was not a Washington native
but she played for us in the late SOS
at Walls Opera House, perhaps
early 70s settled among us and called
this her home till she died in 1903.
She was seventy-four years old when
she bade adieu to earth and had been
for forty-one years the widow Of
Frederick William Lander, who be-
came federal general soon after the
breaking out Of the civil war, figured
in some of the operations on the
upper Potomac not far from Wash
ington. and In a small affair at Ed
wards Ferry in Montgomery county
received the wound which is believed
to have caused his death. AS the
Rambler wrote last Sunday. Mrs
Lander lived in pretty frame cot

grounded than 1t is in witch hazel.
So general among European peasants
is the belief in the power Of the witch
hazel as an efficient divining rod for find

enough to find It, that the French
Academy Of Sciences determined to
make an investigation Of the witchi-

has made a report on it. 1t has re-
ported in very fine French. In French
that is nearly as good as most Ameri-
cans speak. that the witching. infu-

estimated. The fine French Of the
French Academy Of Sciences might be
rendered in English as "Nothin' to It,"
or "Nothin' doin' in the witchcraft

This need not disturb our faith at

Poison Ivy.

Of poisoning from them are very rare

times called poison oak. which con-

MENTAL PATIENTS IN
PUBLIC SERVICE HOSPITALS.

Washington. The congestion In
the neuro-psychiatric hospitals OF the
U. s. Public Health Serlce throughout
the country has been brought out by
the necessity OF transferring thirty
military patients from the big service
hospital on Grays Ferry Road, Phila-
delphia, to make room for other pa
tients who had greater claims on It's
facilities. BY the time the transfer
could be carried out the hospital was
again crowded to capacity. The serv-
Ice is now caring for 500 neuro-psy-
chiatric patients, and the number is
steadily increasing. Search is being
continually made by official and non
official organizations for buildings
that might be leased by the service for
hispitals. Such, however, have proceed
to be few and far between. and the
necessity of building those needed is
daily becoming more and more ap-
parent.
1t is the policy of the Public Health
Service to provide for all neuro-psy-
chiatiric patients, in its own hospitals
insteod of in contract hospitals; but
until proper buildings can be mad this
Is impossible.

TO KEEP A TROOP GOING.

Il have n question, too. Mr. Cave
Scout. This seems about the hardest
time in the whole year to keep things
going in our troop There is little do
ing besides regular meetings and the
members seem to lose their pep. What
can we do about it,"
Can anybody help out in this case?
II believe ! can, Cave Scout. We
had the same trouble in our Troop I'M
til last winter, when we arranged a
Scout dinner and invited our Dads and
Mothers. The Ladies Aid Society let
us use the kitchen and dishes in the
church and couple Of the boys
mothers helped up plan things, btu we
set the tables, cooked the meal and
served It ourselves. After the dinner
we initiated three Tcnderfoots and the
Court of Honor presented badges to
First and Second Clhss Scouts. That
gave our folks pretty good idea
about what we do in Scouting. We
also had a few demonstrations In
Scoutcraft and the wheel affair was a
big success.
This year we will hold our dinner
on Washington's birthday. We began
planning for it in December and the
boys are working their heads off to
make a good showing. In addition to
the stunts we had last year we are
planning a Scout exhibit. Den of the
members has a fine collection of but
ter flies. another collection Of
samples of wood that grows in this To-
caiity, another a collection of birds
nests, another a fine group Of wild
animal ard bird photographs, and so
Oil. We will also show samples of
haEdicraft. such as model airplanes,
furniture, toys, useful household arti-
Giles, etc, all maed by members of the
Troop We are having no trouble with
atten lance and are getting some
mighty good work done" - The Cave

LIBRARIES IN PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE HOSPITALS

The fact that the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill, reported to the House
of Representatives, appropriates $780,
900 for the purchase of library books,
magazines, and papers for beneficiar-
les of war risk insurance will be well
come news to military patients in
Public Health Service Hospitals. Teh
American Library Association, which
still administers the libraries in the
larger hospitals, is embarrassed finan-
cially and has to be assisted by other
organizations. The Public Health
Service had no appropriation which it
could use for the purpose. The new
appropriation saves the situation: but,
unless it is made available immedi-
ately instead of not until July |, as is
customary. Grading matter will neces-
sarily be at a premium in all hos
pitfalls caring for soldier patients

Youth and Life" the new exhibit
Of the U. S. Public Health Service,
consists of "a attractively illustrated
cards. measuring 2Sx22 inches each.
The exhibit. which is especially ad-
dressed to young women, is an appeal
for physical fitness as the best aid to
fulfilling the duties and enjoying the
pleasures of life Teh value OF hy-
gienic living and the need for plenty
of exercise, fresh air, sleep, and prop
err food are emphasized. The function
of the glands of the body, including
the sex glands, are shown. Human re-
production is approached through a
brief presentation Of reproduction in
plants and animals; and attention is
called to the probable effects Of sex
misconduct (veneercal diseases).
Womanliness, motherhood, and
home-making are extolled. This ex-
