This sprightly little man, physician to
President Harding, nucleus about which is
to be built the Welfare Department of the
United States Government, looked out OWL
ishly through thick glasses and ripples Of
humor ran up and down his face
'Curable incurables,'' he continued,
sounds like a contradictory term, but for
practical purposes it is not. There are
people everywhere who are incurable under
ordinary circumstances, but who, under
highly specialized treatment, get well.
Il remember my first case well. 1 was
q young doctor and felt complimented when
j was called fifteen miles into the country
to see one of these shut-ins l opened q
gate in high picket fence and saw a little
log cabin Of one room and a leanto. When
i went in my first impression was of i'm
maculate whitewashed walls. The floor was
as clean as a vanished dinner table. The
stove w-s polished until it threw back my
reflection.
On the bed was a little wisp of a woman
who had lain there for three years, her legs
being useless, the result of a railroad acci-
dent Tat her spirit directed a half
witted girl in the maintenance of a spot-
less home. Here, said, is q flame worth
feeding.
Il took the little woman back to the town
with me. hired room for her, nursed her,
cured her. Three years later she drove up
to my house in q new buggy, came in and
forced 300 on me, money for which / had
much need. She had obtained a pension
with back pay from . husband who had de-
serted her.
Il well remember another woman, young,
she was only twenty-five, who had been
bedridden for four years. Her teeth had
fallen out and her nails had come Off She
lived in dsrkened room. Yet she had much

group OF medical men. 1t was an occasion
OF imposing proportions. One Of the en-
tertainers, q sweet voiced singer, was OF
such unusual appearance as to arouse my
curiosity, 10 1 asked about him. I found
that he was 4 Chilean Indian BY birth. n.
had growu up in the obscurity Of that far
away community. he was poor. almost
without education. He regarded himself .s
very fortunate when be became roustabcut
on a freighter that touched at his native
ports. 1t was a hard life aboard ship. for
ne was the most lowly member Of the crew
and the worst of the tasks fell to him.
This vessel, threading the endless sp,ces
OF the world, finally came to port at Liver
pool. For some reason il could not enter
the harbor, but must remain outside through
the night. The Chilean Indian was sent
aloft, where, through the night, be was to
observe and sing out the necessary calls for
the guidance Of those below. This he did
and, while his voice hcsted out on the still
ness, an ear far away on shore heard and
q critic msrveled st the vendrous sweetness
Of that voice.
