The jinx which was cast over
Hayes many moons ago by the
tribal medicine man out in North
Dakota still holds good, apparen+ly.
On his last appearance in court
Hayes told how he left the reserva-
ton after having an argument
with a medicine man, who con-
jured up an evil spell and said 1t
would forever follow fhe wander"r.
The jinx this time took form in
the person of Policeman w. ID.

brought Hayes into court on a
vagrancy charge.
Two hundred dollars or so days, :"
said Judge Isaac r. Hit.
Hayes turned away.
I'm get YOU yet for this, he
snarled at Policeman Haislip. The
judge called him back.

The organization formally en-
listed in campaign not only to
impress upon Washington hospital
heads the benefits of an up-to-date

learn the workings of a hospital
credit system. and the salient points
of this feature We're related in an
address by Stephen n. Takes, secre-
tary of the organization.
The Happy Medium
Hospital credit is not intended to
apply either to the well-to-do, who
can we'll afford to pay cash, said
Takes, "or to those who are unable
to pay at all.
at is designed to help the thou
sands of middle-class Americans who
haven't the money necessary to pay
for hospital treatment all at once.
but can pay in time. and certainly
would not wish to be designated as
charity patients"
The speaker pointed out to the
association how, under modern
credit Dlan, the average man or
women would he able TO help a
relative or friend in paying the
hospital charges incident to needed
operation.
Hospital credit in Washington is
surely coming Takes declared. at

due to a lack of accurate informa-
tion about hospital finance, We
