Women are also to obtain many i'm :
portant appointments from President
Harding. The reason for such prog
nostication Is this: Venus rules the
eleventh mansion, which governs
womankind, and the moon rules the
seventh mansion, which rules the
masses. When those magic and fatcful

may be included:
Saturn and Jupiter indicate anything
but love duo between capital and

be no doubt. w hen Rcddy Fox suggest

agreed that the meeting should be al

Sammy and Blacky at once started
out to carry word Of the meeting all

the Old Orchard went just for .the ex-

they didn't want to miss anything go

Green Forest the coming of Mrs. Bear
meant a great deal and the only one
who wasn't on hand at the tall pine
tree at sun-up was Paddy the Beaver.
Paddy preferred to remain in his pond,
where he was safe.

BETTERTON, Md. Sept. 1.-THE

SAY HOSPITAL
WELCOMED Mesh
P. & S. Doctors Say Council
Uproar Wasn't Founded
on Fact
NURSE
FOR CONTAGIOUS

DR.. Albert Robin. chairman of the
medical board Of the Physicians and
Surgeons Hospital. in discussing the
case Of James Mesh, of 612 West
Front street. who was admitted to
the hospital suffering from anthrax.
says:
Il arn going to see that we get a
special nurse, and have her avail
able at all times, as a protective
measure in the event OF any epidem-
ic or plague afflicting Wilmington.
| am going to see that this is done
If l have to raise a special fund to do
it,"
The uproar caused among City
Councilmen, the criticism that has
been flung at the hospital manage
ment, were entirely unfounded upon
fact, and were the result of deplora-
BILE MISUNDERSTANDING, according to
DR.. Robin and DR.. Charles S. Leone.
at present the physicians in charge
OF admissions to the contagious unit.
The explanation mads by these
two physicians give, in effect, this
version of the case:
When Mesh was stricken, Doctor
Leone was summoned to treat him,
and pronounced his ailment as an
thrax. In the meantime someone in
formed the leather company by
which Mesh was employed. and the
company sent DR.. William V. Mar
shall. to act for its regular physi-
clan, DR.. John Palmer Jr., who was
out OF the city, and who has since
assumed charge Of the case.
The reason the hospital was asked
to accept him, and finally agreed to
when assured some OF the expense
would be borne by the patient him
self, or by Mrs. Bruno, was that, be-
cause Of his failure TO keep to his
bedroom and observe the quarantine
established by the Board OF Health.
would have necessitated closing Mrs.
Brunos store. Rather than allow
her business to suffer by its suspen-
sion during the several weeks du-
ration Of the quarantine. she agreed
to share the expense Of Nesh's re-
moval to the hospital.
In the first place. the hospital did
not refuse TO accept the case. but
expressed willingness to. provided the
expense OF furnishing treatment
would be borne privately, the doc
tors said.
