Mentally Ill Abused

Thousands of mentally i'll veterans OF the World
war are being denied proper care and treatment be-
cause of a lack of beds in government hospitals, the
American Legion has found in a survey Of the situa-
ton.
The United States law entities every mentally III
ex-service man to treatment in a government hos
pital. whether his illness can be traced to his service
or not.
In Illinois, as an example, the Legion has found
there are 1893 mentally i'll veterans who are -Gaelv-
ing no care at ali, AM q these on@y So are drawing
any compensation from the goTsiE1-aIE.
In addition to this, GOT veterans are receiving
treatment in state hospitals because there Is no room
in government hospitals for them.
This condition is duplicated in many other states
the Legion survey has revealed.
To relieve the situation, the government has been
asked by the service mems organization TO appropriate
money for additional hospitals. Congress failed 10
pass an act during the session ending March 4, 1929
which would have made available 81 100000 addi-
tional for hospital construction.
If this measure had passed, many OF the men
needing treatment would have died before the hos
pitfalls could have been built. The Legion still is seek
ing to have this construction authorized. but It VIII

What Happened in New Mexico

Lawmakers of the house exempted farm machinery

ROMA, July Rain which be-

The old housekeeper met Vivian
at the door with her finger on
her lips. She had been weeping.
Sure, Vivian. It's her last day on

Mrs. Barnes wiped her eyes o. her
apron.
Vivian grabbed her arm and paled.
"You don't near Aunt Martha is
dying?"
Or. Willard says So" she shook
her head from side to side and burst
into fresh tears.
Vivian fe't weak when she went
upstairs. IN all her life, she had
never faced death. DR.. Willard
heard her steps on the stairs, and
met her at the door. He closed it
softly and took her arm.
"She is going, my child, and she
has been asking for you for the last
half hour. I'd have let you know
sooner, but I thought she was just
having n of her spells"
Vivian struggled to control her
self. She felt she couldn't possibly
go in to poor old Aunt Martha and
see her die. 1t was too cruel. DR..
Willard saw her shiver and put an
arm around her shoulders.
Bear up. little girl. She wants
you, and you must realize that she
will be better off. All her life she
has suffered. Death will be merci-
full"
He opened the door and Vivian
walked slowly to the old lady's bed.
She peered at her uncertainty and
Vivian knelt and took her hand.
"It'S Vivian, Aunt Martha. How
are you feeling?" She forced the
words from a tight throat.
The old woman frightened and
her eyelids fluttered. But when she
spoke it was hardly above a whiS-
per.
MY Iittle-vivian. Come close to
me, my child.
DR.. Willard motioned that 1t was
all right, and she sat on the edge Of
her bed, bending over closely to hear
her thin, far away voice.

Tears started in Vivian's eyes,
The patient was growing weaker and
weaker. DIR. Willard stepped to the
other side of the bed and felt her
pulse. Suddenly the old lady gasped
and looked at the girl as though she
were a total stranger.
"Who-who r you?"

She sank back again.

voice faded away. Vivian bent
closer. She seemed to revive o mo-
