MANY CHILDREN
EXAMINED AT
STATE CLINIC
Crippled Youngsters Go
to Restroom In Hope of
Aid.

Unqualified success marked I'm
perial Valleys first clinic for
Crippled Children, which was held
in the FL Centre restroom ycstcr-
day under the auspices of the Cali
fornia Society for Crirp!"a Chill
drcn. The restroom was filled to
ovcrflowing practically the entire
day with children and their parents.
Thirty-thrcc children, ranging from
babies to Youngsters in their teens,
were examined by DR.. Maynard G.
Harding Of San Diego, orthopacdic
surgeon, and suggestions for treat
mcnt given.
The need for the clinic was clearly
seen by the many pathetic cases
brought before Dr. Harding, who
was sent here by the State De
partment Of Public Health, several
cases being hopeless, and others
which could have been afforded
greater relief if treated even six
months ago.
Hope is seen for many of the
crippled children if given proper
treatment. This win be offered
them, provided their parents are
willing. Reports of the cases exam
incd yesterday will receive thorough
study and attention, and state aid
given, providing the parents agree
10 have the work done and a Judge
of the superior court signs ccrtifi-
cate signifving parents are unable
to pay for medical attention.
"California Carcs' is the slogan
Of the California Society for Grip
Piled Children, which >belicvcs that
the crippled child has been the last
one to receive aid. 1t is found that
65 percent of the children receiving
aid can be restored to normal acti
witty, aud be rendered able to take
care of themselves; another % per-
cent are benefited and educated to
use their intelligence as an earning
capacity and less than five percent
are hopeless.

pass this legislation, six other states

MRS. HOOVER AIDS
STANFORD HOUSING
Has Planned and Built Homes
on Campus for Small
SaIaried Persons.
by BEN G. KLINE.

snecisl Dispatch 10 The Star.
PALO ALTO, Calf, July l2-The
pretentious residence of Secretary and
Mrs Herbert Hoover on San Juan Hill
is not the only home that the wife of
the Republican presidential nominee
has designed and had built on the
campus OF Stanford University here.
Details were learned today of a houS-
ing program which Mrs. Hoover has
quietly carried out for the benefit of
persons Of moderate salaries connected
with the university.
Virtually all of the students. faculty
members and other persons connected
with Stanford live on the 9.00o-acre
campus. The university provides dormi
tories which house large part OF tho
students, and il also operates a loan
fund which enables faculty members
20 build homes which are paid for on
the installment plan. These homes are
rather large, and change hands as there
are shifts in the faculty.
Planned Smaller Homes
Mrs Hoover noted some years ago
the need for some smaller residences
which could be purchased and owned
by persons with smaller means than
members of the faculty.
Working in cooperation with the
university authorities, she secured leases
on conveniently located lots near the
main university buildings and in 1924
had constructed five small cottages In
the following year she added two more.
making her total expenditures about
$5l, 900. Members of the administrative
staff and graduate students with FAM
lilies were allowed 10 purchase these
homes at virtual cost by making small
down payments and monthly INSTALL
mentS which include nominal rate of
interest. The plan met distinct need.
and all Of the little homes are occupied.
The buildings are of four. five and six
rooms, OF stucco Spanish type with tile
roofs and inclosed porcheS. Though
different from any other buildings on
the campus. the little group harmonizes
with the general campus architecture.
Home Is on Campus
The Hoover home was built on the
Stanford campus because Of the senti-
mental attachment both Mr. and Mrs.
Hoover have for the institution. Secre-
tery Hoover is a member of the univer-
sity administrative board. but IL he
were not. his residence there would
not be out OF eccord with the univer-
sity's policy.
The university is Just now almost in
the position of many early Middle and
FAR Western settlements, which, as de-
fopmentS came about, found them
Ielves land poor" 1t has q large area
Of unproductive and unoccupied land,
but its revenue is not growing as fast
as its needs. This situation has led to
discussion as to the practicability OF
opening a subdivision on the campus,
leasing sites to home builders for so
or 30 years as is now done in the cases
Of faculty members who wish to own
their own homes
The lack of SUFFICIENT water is holding
up immediate consideration of this
plan, but If it does develop later Mrs.
Hoover can lay claim to being the first
subdivider of the acres formerly oc-
eupied by Senator Stanford's big farm.

Point, will be one of the principal
topics under discussion when Presi
dent Diaz and President-elect Mon
cada meet Herbert Hoover at Cor

Captain Fred G. Patchen, of the
United States marines, is being
prominently mentioned to head the
academy. The curriculum has al

Expansion of the national guard
from LOO to $500 effectives is also
being contemplated.
At the same conference, plans for
the establishment of police force
to patrol the two lakes along the
route of the projected inter-ocean
canal will also be discussed.
From two to three years is con
sidered a conservative estimate for
the length of time that will be re-

the Nicaraguan national guards.
This is taken to mean that no inten-
