The porter who takes care OF Mr.

is Herbert G. Williams and the
president calls him civilians.
Few men are heroes to theil
Wallets. but the man whose wants are
simple and whose disposition is
agreeable is the greatest man in the
world to his porter and that's What
Mr.. Coolidge is to Williams
On the other hand Williams is
just about the worlds greatest porter
else he wouldn't have been assigned
to serve the president on every trip
since he was just a vice president
Between presidential trips Williams
works on private cars for million

President Coolidge ''You can tell
when he's pleased when he doeSn
say anything. Never says word
except he'll tell you When he wants
anything.

THE HOSPITALS WORK DESPITE DEFICIT

Hospitals are not money king 1 institutions. They exist in virtually
 every city for the benefit Of the pub i lie, which pays for hospital attend
 ance but should pay no more than the cost of running such an institu- ton warrants. In other words, the public Is entitled to hospital service at cost
 And usually that is the case. In many instances, indeed, the service comes to the public at less than cost. Such an Instance Is that in New Britain, where the annual report just made public indicates there has been a deficit for the year of s3,7oo
 The city Of New Britain con- tributes a modest sum to the hos pital every year: so does the state; there Is modest income from in- vested funds; some welfare organi- zations maintain free beds; the greater part of the income comes from patients
 Perhaps 1t Is theoretically correct that those who find themselves sick should pay the piper. But as Dr. Reeks stated about year ago, hos pital costs are falling for the main part upon the middle class patients. and they comprise the class which Is hardest hit in the case of hoepitali- zation expenses. The rich don't care what they pay: they usually employ all manner of specialists in addi- ton to extra nurses and other extras. The poor don't pay because they can't. The middle class. not rich enough to be indifferent to costs, and not poor enough to warrant free treatment, are in dire straits when- ever an unfortunate spell of severe sickness arrives.
 Fundamentally. the operation of a hospital Is civic undertaking. Actually, as we have 1t in this city, it Is 8 private undertaking that is assisted slightly by civic and state efforts. Yet from the cellar up, the money to build the hospital came from the public. Although contribut- ing to the well-being of the public just as necessarily as a public li- hrary or the school system, 1t re- mains merely quasi-publc.
 The least the city can do Is to see that there are no deficits in the man. agement of the institution.
