made. Director Hines said yesterday. to
determine whether existing facilities
are adequate, both as to the NUMBER
of beds and as to the condition OF
hospital buildings.
The first establishment to be ex-
amined. II was indicated are those in
the district comprising southern Call

more project near San Diego. The
director said that before any bids
for the Livermore Hospital are acted
upon he will confer with the hos
pitalization board concerning the
adequacy of facilities on which the
bids were made. This same policy
will be followed with regard to all
new construction.
The survey eventually will COM
prise forty eight hospitals in the
Veterans Bureaus program, and If
1t is found that the program cannot
be completed under present appro-
priations. additional money will BE
asked of ConEresS.

Some evidence has been presented
however. by Henry Stark. who writes:
I'm 1885 an uncle of Henry Stark g
captured two Canada geese in a net
spread along the beach of the Chicks-
nooga Islands, in Chesapeake bay.
Since that time this pair of geese
have been padding around farms
owned by members of the Stark
family.
"A few years ago the uncle died at
the ripe old. age of eighty-one but
the two Canada geese are still thriv-
ing and alert and seemingly in the
prime of their youth. No one knows
how old these geese were when cap
tured. but Mr.. Stark says he has
evidence that they are sixty-seven
now and he hopes they will prove
the statement that wild geese live

Asiatics Want Wool Now.

From the Youths Companion.
Only two years ago it was said that
the supply of wool was SO great that
net another sheep need be sheared
for two years, but now there Is a
growing shortage of wool. just as
there ig of cotton. One explanation
of the increased demand for wool Is
that the Asiatic peoples now want
wooden garments rather than the
garments of coarse cotton with which
they were once satisfied. Possibly the
shortage is temporary. The clip in
the United States this spring should
lie considera bly, larger than that last
year. FOR reports indicate that the
aumber Of sheep mas increased.
