THE AFRO-AMERICAN SONS AND
Daughters HOSPITAL


AT the Grand Lodge in Lexington last Au-
gust, the Custodian recommended the erection of
Of Il hospital some time during 1928. This re-
cOmmendation was unanimously agreed to by
the Grand Lodge. AS all the Older members OF
the order know, this hospital idea for the order
and race was one of the prime obJectWes OF the
order from its birth. But all know that to
build hospital of any consequence you must
have money. We all know that we started to
build up this hospital fund by quarterly tax OF
so cents per member 1t is indeed wonderful to
think that Just few months ago we didn't have
a single fifty cent piece with which to begin this
very big task
l venture the assertion that not even the
founder dreamed of being ready to build the
first hospital in SO short time. 1t happily and
pleasingly far surpassed all our fondest hopes.
Therefore when our Custodian broke the news
that all would be ready in 1923 for first hos
ptal, it sent thrill of JOY to the hearts of every
member of the order as well as every race-loving
Negro in the State.
Hospitals in our country, like the Church
and School, are cornerstones to civilization,
for when we think of hospitals we necessarily
think of the progress of medical science; and
in this partiular instance we think of that pro-
gfess made by doctors of our own race group
Again, think Of the overcoming it's
many handicaps and that thought in itself en-
genders hope and patience in the struggling and
rising Sons and Daughters of our group, that
ere long all will be we'll for us.
When this hospital is complete and manned
by the efficient Dr. L. T. Miller and his helpers
the unfortunate and the sick among us will look

A study of the incidence of low
blood pressure in relation to the
presence of various diseases and
various body types indicates that
.here are many factors that NAV be
involved in the presence OF thi, con,
dition.
Blood pressure falls during sleep.
paralleling the depth OF the sleen.
"heh the sleep is disturbed. there
may be sharp rise in blood pres
sure; when the person dreams Of
some active effort, the blood nres-
sure rises. There seems to be A.
definite relationship between tbe
blood pressure and the body weight.
thus persons who are obese tend to
nave higher blood pressure than
persons of normal weight.
The factors controlling the blood
pressure are the force of the heart
beat. the condition OF the walls Of
the blood vessels, the volume and
physical state OF the blood, and the
amount of the resistance that the
blood meets while circulating
through the body.
When person takes an anesthe.
tic his blood pressure tends to fall.
In most of the acute infectious dis,
eases there Is a fall In blood pres
sure, more serious In some condi.
tons than In others. During height
of fever the flow OF the blood, par
ucularly In the smaller blood vessels.
Is slower than in health. This Slow
ing Of the circulation naturally tends
to diminish the blood pressure. The
same is true of many Of the more
chronic infectious diseases in which
fever Is a prominent sign. In the
advanced stages Of tuberculosis
there tends to be a lowering OF the
blood pressure, apparently asso-
ciated with the general poisoning Of
the body by the production Of the
bacterium that causes this disease.
On the other hand. diabetes appears
to affect the blood pressure but
little.
Many drugs are known which will
lower the blood pressure. but these
drugs do not have the value OF keep,
ing the pressure lowered or over-'
coming the fundamental physical
conditions OF the body which are re-
sponsible for either high or low
blood pressure.
Apparently all of the various
glands In the body that have &c.
cretions may be concerned with the
maintenance Of the blood pressure
at a certain point. hence a disorder
Of any Of these glands modihes the
circumstances and may raise or
lower the blood pressure. At pres.
ent, research all over tho world IL
endeavoring to define accurately the
effects Of these glands and OF their
secretions on the state Of the body
in health and disease.

would and had come up to the city

Yet from his stealthy actions 1 was
sure that the youth with the dog had
no suspicion that he was being fol-

bearded man, at least in lis present

Sammy Jay was more excited than
he had been in all his life before.
He felt like screaming every minute
and he didn't scream at all. Perhaps
he thought that the hunters who
were pushing their way through the
Green, Forest in a long line were
making noise enough. Anyway, he
kept his tongue still and flew silent
ly ahead of them. Never in his life
had he seen SO many frightened
people excepting when the Red Ter
ror had driven feathered and furred
folk before it.
Somehow to Sammy it didn't seem
true. Nothing at all like it had ever
happened before and it was hard
work to believe that it was happen
ing now. But the thing that was
hardest of all to understand was
what it was all about. Sammy was
still puzzling over this as he drew
near to the ledge beneath which Bus
ter Bear had spent more than one
winter. Just as he came within sight
Of this ledge his sharp eyes caught
sight of something moving. 1t was
sinking along under the low-growing
branches of some of the trees near
there. At first Sammy couldn't
make out what 1t was. All he could
see was a moving spot now and
then. Then out into plain view leap
ed stranger who was so very much
Of a stranger that in his surprise
Sammy nearly lost his grip on the
branch on which he had just alight-
ed. Yes, sir, he almost fell from
sheer surprise.
This stranger belonged to the ca,
family. There was no doubt about
that. But Sammy had never heard
of such a cat. His coat was OF a
yellowish color covered with black
spots. He was very handsome as
he stood there looking back toward
the hunters and showing all his
teeth in an ugly snarl, while his
tail twitched as only cats tail can.
He, was so handsome that Sammy
drew long breath and was just on
the point of telling him how hand
some he was when he remembered
that he hadn't been introduced.
Such bashfulne.s is not at all usual
with Sammy Jay.
Very handsome was the stranger
as he stood on ledge of rock where
the sun shone fully on him. The
black spots were velvety; the vel
low background of his fur coat
seemed TO fairly glow in the sun
and made the black spots stand out,
Big and strong and savage looking
was the stranger. But Sammy's keen
eyes saw that in the eyes OF the
stranger fear lurked.
Hes afraid of these hunters"
thought Sammy At this new idea
came to Sammy. His eyes opened
very wide. L do believe" said he
to himself. that it is because of
that fellow over there that all those
hunters are in the Green Forest. I
believe they have come to hunt
him and not to hunt any Of the
little people who live here. Yes,
sir, believe that is Just the answer
I wonder where that fellow will
co."
The stranger bounded lightly to
the entrance to a sort of cave in the
ledge Of rocks. Sammy heard a
snarl from inside that cave. He
guessed right away who was in
'1ers- He guessed that 1t was
Ts-i.- the Bobcat, and In this he

Tho Young Man With the Wolf
Hound Ahsorbs Msdge's Attention.
l felt very much as il l had a
front seat at play as from behind
the huge folds Of my Sunday news
paper / peered at the d-bearded
man sitting on the bench near the
gate leading to the Montauk- bound
train. There was even something
theatrical in the pose Of the man as
he sprawled with apparent careless
ness on the bench. although to me
he looked like nothing 50 much as
monstrous red spider watching for
some unwary fly to stray near him.
His flaming hair and beard were
most conspicuous, and l noticed
that numerous curious slances were
being sent toward him by the pas
sengers gathered for the eastern-is-
land train.
But he was as Indifferent to curl
Gus glances as l felt that he would
have been to condemnatory ones had
any been sent In his direction. He
had but one patent purpose-intent
watchfulness, and he was carrying
it out faithfully.
Then past me moved little pro-
cession which attracted the attention
Of every person who caught a
glimpse Of 1t. The young man whose
magnificent wolfhound had lunged
against me was moving rapidly
toward the gate OF the eastern island
train, his body bent so that both
hands tightly grasped the collar of
the animal. Behind him two train
porters carried enough smart, If
somewhat worn luggage to outfit a
half dozen ordinary American young
men going out OF the city for vaca-
ton. That this was his purpose l
inferred from the well-fillnd golf bag
and the tennis racquet which
formed part OF the load that one
porter had tucked around his person
IN the mysterious and efficient man
ner known only to his craft.
For a second, in the picturesque
passing OF the colorful youth, l al
most forgot to watch the red bearded
man. whose odd actions had so puz-
zled me. When my eyes turned
back to him 1t was to find that I
needed a new metaphor to describe
him. He was no longer Il watchtul
spider, but rather like a catamount
gathering himself for a spring. He
had drawn himself compactly TO-
gether,' and his eyes beneath their
oueerly dropping lids were fixed
