1t must be acknowledged that the
majority of the workers are quick to
forget. John W. Davis delivered a
speech in the stockyards district OF
Chicago last week and for sheer i'm.
pudence and effrontery he outdid him
self and all competitors. The district
in which he delivered his speech has
large Irish population, which likes
the British Empire as a terrier likes
weasel. They like the prohibition
amendment as the Imperial Wizard of
the Ku Klux Khan likes his Holiness
the Pope.
NOW, John w. Davis was once
IN upon a time. during the reign of
woodrow Wilson, American ambassa-
dor to the Court of Saint James. He
wore knee breaches, was made Knight
of the Middle Temple, supported the
Free State government against the
republicans and was elected president
of the American section of the Eng
lish speaking union, which has for its
object the liquidation of the American
revolution of 1875 and the strengthen.
ing of the ties between the ruling
classes of America and Britain. All
these things are as palatable to an
Irish audience as a milk shake to a
man recovering from delerium ire

Nancy. "Where are we going tonight,
Johnny"

said Johnny. "He seems to have dis
appeared altogether. That's why
want you Twins to hurry-so we can
hunt him."
The Twins put on the little shoes
that Johnny Jump Up gave them and
instantly they became as small as
pepper corns, if you know how small
that is.
Then down they slid to the magic
garden.
Tommy, oh Tommy Titmouse,
where are your they called.
All the little violet fairies hunted,
and the little Dutchman in the tulip
hunted, and the little Scotchman in
the blue bells hunted. and the little
French fairy in the pansies hunted,
and the cowboy. fairy and the tiny
Turk hunted and everybody hunted.
But no one had seen Tommy. Not

CARING FOR CONVALESCENTS

Crossness and hunger are generally
accepted by the lay public as the
first signs of convalescence in a
person who has undergone an oper-
alton or serious illness. When
ii appears that the patient has fin
ally turned the corner" attention
is centered on getting him out of
the hospital as soon as possible and
back to his home and his work. In
this the patient his family and often
his medical advisers usually agree,
although the last named may urge
caution and diet, and will add the
warning to "be sure to take things
easily" for a while. But in spite
of this-or perhaps on account of it
the problem of convalescence Is
chara ctelized in a special report of
the Public Health Committee of the
New York Academy of Medicine as
a neglected phase of medicine.
There has been no serious discus
"sion of the kind of care which the
various types of convalescent pa
"tients require" says this report
There has likewise been no thor
cough consideration Of the types of
leases, which should be cared for
Jointly, and which would harmonic
from an administrative and medical
point of view"
To remedy this situation the Acad-
envy of Medicine has decided to pro-
coed with study of the GONZALES
cent needs of the city, with a special
view to framing community policy
and developing medical and admin
istrative standards for the guidance
of convalescent homes. In connec-
ton with this, it plans to organize
q central reference bureau, to fur
nish information and to act as a
sort of clearing house, in the hope
of facilitating a better distribution
ing homes and hospitals, and of as
Stunning treatment best suited to the
needs of each individual case. Pro-
ceeds from the Sturgis Research
Fund and the Burke Foundation will
be available in the maintenance of
this bureau.
BY the new system it is hoped to
enable patients to leave the hospi-
tails as soon as possible in order to
60 to the most appropriate home,
thus Dlieving the strain on the
hospitals facilities. 1t is not i'm
probable that the greater emphasis
laid on the needs of convalescent
patients will make it easier for the
existing convalescent homes to OBJ
tain enough support to be able to
function at full efficiency. A re-
cent preliminary survey made for
the Academy shows that although
the existing facilities are reasonably
sufficient they are under-utilized,
for various reasons, such as lack OF
funds and restrictions as to admls-
sion. The work of the Academy in
studying the problem of GONZALES
cence is clearly of value to the
homes and to the hospitals as we'll

tients who will pass through them

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE

Dear Little Marquise: don't
know why it is, .but address these
letters from myself to myself, and
then, when / am writing, talk to
you. l seem to put myself into my
conception of your soul and body
that-a sounds rather complicated,
doesn't it? Nevertheless, when l
write to you l am two people Les
lie Prescott, who goes along with her
everyday affairs, who records her
actions and her reactions III the
average manner; and another Leslie
Prescott who comments upon these
actions and reactions, who solves her
problems, sympathizes with her mis-
takes and passes judgment uion the
everyday Leslie Prescott, wife of
John Alden Prescott, in reality.
In other words, Little Marquise,
YOU are the escape valve which al
lows the real Leslie Prescott to get
all surplus steam out Of her system,
and you are very comforting to me.
Mother Prescott showed me this
morning where she thought our little
secret drawer was placed. When
she invited me to go with her to
look over the outside of the beautiful
desk she had given me, l could not
refuse, but l was sick at heart fol-
fear she had really found our hidden
receptacle.
Much to my relief and joy l was
able to demonstrate to her, however
that she was wrong. That place was
filled with locked box for jewel:

little cabinet door, and she had never

It's strange thing, little Mar
quise, to note the effect that Priscilla
Bradford has on Mother PrescottS
She has been very different, very
picky, ever since that old gossip
called upon her. l wish l could find
some way to make the Bradford
woman stay away from the house,
but l can't do this without putting
myself in a wrong light, and Jack
and l have quarreled enough with
his mother over her.

she should know that Jack was
angry at the bobbing of my hair,
and ! resented the fact that she was
at our house the afternoon l arrived.
1t spoiled my homecoming complete

John had objected to MI hair, to say
to Mother Prescott that she was per-

because she did not have to consult
any one when she wanted to bob her
hair or make any other little change
in her personal appearance or mode

Immediately Mother Prescott be-
gan to get censorious and remarked
with more acidity than she has used
since she had come to our house
that whilet she thought looked very
well with bobbed hair, it would per-
haps have been better had l con
suited Jack on the subject. That
of course, fired me and before l
thought I said:
"Jack doesn't consult me every
time he wants q haircut"
Fortunately that hit Jacks funny
bone, and he laughed; otherwise
there might have been rather
strained atmosphere in the room. 4,
