 She searched the faces of the nurses and doctors for sign. They're monsters. all of them," she thought stonily. Young as she was. untried, she thought their cheerfulness in the face of this cer- tlan defeat too horrible. She did not realize they grappled daily with that enemy, Death. And some- times won.
 Poor child, thought the tall nurse as she moved briskly, capa- bly, about. Poor child. she has a lot to learn. Aloud she said in q low voice which Liane resented for it's matter-of-factness, You must go out now and get some lunch. Can't have another pa tient, you know" She even

RACKETEERS
ASFELONS
New York Democratic Chiefs
Aim Legislative Blow at
"0ff.spring of Prohibition"

ALBANY, Sept. 18.-Asserting
that prohibitions favorite off
spring, the racketeer, must go,
q measure introduced in the
legislature seeks to define racket
eering and to class the racketeer
as a felon.
Sponsored by the Democratic
leaders, Senator Dunigan and
ASsemblyman Steingut, the act
would provide punishment as for
. nisdemeanor unless a dan
gerouS weapon is used.
This is how racketeer is de-
scribed:
"A person who seeks to CO.
cree another to pay money or
another valuable thing for pro-
lection or offering to protect
his right to do business.
"Seeks to compel another to
Join an organization whether
formed under the laws Of this
State or otherwise.
"SeekS to compel by threat
4 or violence to person or prop
erty a collection of tribute or
unlawful license for the priv.
lege of conducting unmOlested
. trade or business.
"Seeks to sell undue favor
ttism for, or induces discrimi-
nation against a trade or busi-
ness Of another"
At this late date in the extraor
dinary session it is not certain
whether the measure can be
given consideration along with
the other proposals to rid New
York of the gang and racket
menace.
