A Hospital Tribute
BY Mary Scarborough Paxson

In visiting the Emergency Hospi-
tai in Doylestown, one is impressed
with the good judgement that placed
the Swartzlander Memorial Tablet
upon the outside of the building
where it can be seen by every pas
ser-by, instead of being placed in
side where but few would ever see
it.
Doylestown was especially favor
ed in having one of her residents
able and willing to execute the work
of this bronze memorial, for it was
the artist, G.. Brewer Darst of North
Main street, who designed the tab
let.
Simplicity was Mr.. Darst's key
note, and this is we'll brought out in
the antique finish of the bronze. The
cluster of symbolic ivy above the
inscription, and Esculapius, emblem
of the God of Medicine, on each
side of the script, constitute the en-
tire decoration.
The wording, chosen by the V. 1.
A. reads "This tablet is placed here
in affectionate remembrance of Frank
Bryan Swartzlander by the Village
Improvement Association of Doy-
lestown, Pennsylvania, in grateful
appreciation of his untiring service
and devotion nj behalf of his hos
pital."

JUDGE RLDICULES
 LEOPOLD PARDON
Sees No Chance for Franks
 SIayerS to Go Free

Chicago, Sept. 2 CP-The opinion of Hinton c. Clabaugh. chairman of the state pardon and parole board, that Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb will be eligible for parole in 1885 was discounted bT John R. Caverly. trial judge, and States At torney Robert E. Grove.
 Judge Caverly, who gave each boy sentences of ninety-nine years and of life upon their confession of the murder of Bobby Franks, recalled that in passing sentence he specifi- cally recommended that the parole privilege be denied them and that they spend their lives in prison.
 For that matter" said Grove, the two boys are legally eligible to go free today. The governor could pardon them at any time"
 Mir. Calbaugh said the iurist had failed to specify whether the sen- tences should run concurrently or consecutively. Under the alw," he explained, "such sentences are con- current unless the judge specifies they should run consecutively."
 This, Clabough said, would mean that Leopole and Loeb would be eligible for parole at the end of twenty years and three months If the life sentence is considered the longer, or thirty-thrce years if the ninety-nine year term is held the longest.
 With time off for good behavior
