ALPINE ROW TO

MANS GUSHING

DR.. A. l.. Derbyshire, United
States public health service direc-
tor, at San Diego, around whose head
most of the storm resulting from
the trouble with tubercular seamen
at Alpine sanitarium broke, is to
be relieved from duty according to
word received in San Diego, and
will be succeeded by DR.. Worley,
now stationed at Yale University
While DR.. Dcrbyshire was IN
nominal charge of the men at Al
pine, his duties brought him in con.
tact with them only infrequently, it
is said, and in San Diego the opin-
ION prevails that he has been made
the goat in a situation for which
he was not responsible.
That several of the men at Al
pine are, or have been members of
the |. w. W., is the statement made
by Sheriff Bvers of San Diego coun
ty, who is said to have at least one
membership card in the /. w. w.
taken from an Alpine patient, and
also has evidence that several more
were affiliated with that organiza-
tion.
At present the former Alpine pa
tients are being cared for by the San
Diego tuberculosis association and
Congressman Swing has taken NJ

authorities in Washington, the mat

Some Of these pins are so large
that they look like fobs hanging

ably they are of glittering rhine
stones set in silver so deftly that
they resemble real diamonds set in
platinum.

For cveningtime they are sprinkl1d
with diamond dust and worm on the
shoulder. Another favorite evening
corsage which, of course, is worn
on the should ar. IS the large water
lily. Its petals are also outlined in
diamond dust. Still another new
type of shoulder decoration is the
bow-kRot of velvet, which may or
may not match the frock in color.
