HOSPITAL DAY
Is IND0RSED
Governor Urges Observance
In the State

The 18th of May is again approach
ing. The custom of observing this
day as a national holiday is an ex-
cellent one. am glad to know that
this day is being observed not only
in the United States but in Canada
and that other countries are also
adopting the custom.
We need at least once year to
direct public attention to the insti-
tutions of mercy and to the splendid
work that the hospitals Of our coun-
try are doing in curing diseases,
healing the sick, and cooperating in
the great work for better conditions
Of public and private health.
1t is also most appropriate that the
birthday anniversary Of Florence
Nightingale should have been select
ed as Hospital Day and that by OBJ
serving this day we are celebrating
the birthday anniversary Of one Of
the greatest women Of the past cen
tury.
l sincerely hope that this day will
be generally observed throughout the
state not only at each of the hospi-
tails thereof but. that the citizenship
generally may devote the day to a
sympathetic study of the great work
that is being done and the still great
err work that may and will be done by
the hospitals of our country.

PASSING OF A GREAT ART

Time was when the recalling Of
an ambassador meant all sorts OF
dire things. In diplomatic, usage,
there were certain gestures. GER
tain phrases. certain practices. all
of which We're as we'll recognized
as the moves in a chess game.
The recalling of an amba ssador,
in those classic days. was about
two steps removed from an ulti-
matum. which in turn was the next
thing to declaration of war.
But, curiously enough, nobody
today believes that the impending
recall of Hanihara means either an
ultimatum or war. 1t is a move
in, the game, to be sure, but the
game is no, long er' played according
to the classics rules.
The ambassador. who used to be
a major piece, is now not much
more highly regarded - than
i:he lowliest pawn. AS
matter of fact, he is a
messenger boy and very little else
Governments are. 50 closely CON
nected by, cable that the chief func-
ton of an ambassador is to carry
the messages Of his home govern
ment to the government to which
he is accredited and to carry the
reply to the cable office.
Recognition, another great di
plomatic move. has long since
ceased to have the importance
once given it. Refused recogni
ton by most the major powers

We had a somewhat similar eX
perience with Mexico.
The truth is that the great game
Of diplomacy has fallen on evi
| days. People are not impressed b,
diplomats as they once were.-Bal

riculture and labor. and who was
the Leagues candidate for the Re-

Senator Baker possessed quail
ties of leadership that made him
Invaluable to the political group to
which he adhered, and which were
OF tremendous advantage to the
people of the State as whole, for
the reason that he always was the
counsellor of moderation: the
student of public problems who ad-
vocatcd those principles for which
he stood wholly upon their merits
and without respect to PERSONAL
ties. His influence upon the course
of the Nonpartisan League was
tremendous, and his steadyinc
hand in League councils was one
that the State could not afford to
lose the services Of
Senator Baker, by his kindness

Carnestncss of purpose, his high
character, had won for himself the
friendship and respect of oil with
whom he came in contact. regard

Baker was associated. The Forum

and honesty of purpose, and deeply

Sunken Treasure
OfLaurentic TO,
Be Salvaged

London, May (AP).-There are
now only 154 bars Of gold worth ST.
200, 900 on the wreck of the Laurentic,
which was sunk during the war, and,
the salvage ship Racer will shortly
endeavor to recover this, said Com
mander G. c. G. Damant in the course
of lecture at the Institution of
Mechanical Engineers.
Four boxes of gold weighing lao
lbs. each were recovered in such
short time when the work started
that it seemed as if operations would
be finished in week. A'fierce gale
sprang up, however, and the wreck
collapsed, making salvage work very
difficult. Of the 3,2ll bars which
went down with the ship, 3,057 have
been recovered during operations eX-
tending over six summers at a cost
of two and one-half percent.

NEXT new PLAY
IS POPULAR one

Thrills that are the real thing, 70.
nance that charms and comedy that is
of the best-these are some of the
things promised theatregoers next week
when the all-star Jefferson players will
present that striking success of the
last two seasons, Captain Applejack."
How good this company is at comedy
is being proved in the delightful pro-
duction of Mice People this week.
Captain Applejack" will be seen in
Birmingham for the first time next
week, and it is being predicted that
Birmingham will rise up and hail it
with delight. There are many for whom
it will have special meaning. They
are the ones who saw J. Glynn Mac
Farlane in "The Bad Man" last year.
In Captain Applejack" he has a role
just as colorful and just as romantic
as ever the bad man was. 1t fits him
so perfectly it might well have been
written for him.
Not only is Mr.. MacFarlane most
suitably cast, but the other members
of the company have fine roles. Miss
Kathleen Comegys has another oppor-
tunity to display her versatility in the
depletion of a bewitching and mystic
rious ivamp. Russell Fillmore produces
comedy magic, while Miss Tamzon
Marker has the important role of the
girl in the romance.
E There will be only three more per-
formances of Mice People" and theatre
goers are advised to make their reser-
vations Immediately if they have not
already availed themselves of the OPP
portunity of enjoying this show.
