could do would be to lend her some. So
he gave her two. he said. one platinum

POLYCLINIC
MIGHT BE CLEANER
American Legion Finds COndi-
tion of Hospital Shows Poor
Housekeeping.

The American Legion will MAKE public
this afternoon at it's headquarters in the
Hall of Records report on the condition
Of the Polytechnic Hospital, as a result OF
a survey of the entire building, conducted
yesterday by a subcommittee OF its State
committee on disqualification.
At the same time four physicians will
be selected by the State committee to
continue the inquiry by examining vari-
Gus types OF patients with a view to find
ing out whether proper treatment has
been prescribed and carried out.
Col. C. w. WIckersham, Col. Frank L.
Robbins and former Representative
Charles Cauldwell. members of the sub
committee, accompanied by William It.
Deegan, State Commander of the Ameri-
can Legion, spent several hours inspect
ing the hospital, but refused to express
any opinion upon their observations until
the official report had been made.
Among the many recent Investigations
to which the hospital has been subjected
since the accusations Of the Amateur
Comedy Club called attention to condi-
tions in the building was that of the Vet
eran's Bureau of Washington, which was
conducted by DR.. j. d. Long, medical
adviser.
DIR. Long has left for Washington to
make his report, but it has been learned
that the principal criticism to be levelled
against the hospital authorities IS that
they have been guilty of poor house,
keeping and allowing conditions of un-
cleanliness to exist in a building which
at best IS said to be none too suitable
for modern hospital purpose.
Commander Deegan stated that the
entire State committee would meet this
afternoon, and in addition to receiving
the Polytechnic report would consider some
action by which the Government might
be persuaded to appropriate more money
for the purchase or erection Of suitable
hospitals in which to care for the dis
abled men.
He said s1s,000.00 had been appropri-
ated by the Government for this purpose
q year and halftago. and with the ex-
exception of the purchase of a hospital
in Brooklyn New York, had received no
share of these funds.
