Edwina Macdonald, noted au-
thor, offers this complex problem
from real life to readers OF The

Jimmie paid closer court to her,
Pat came to believe that 1t was
they who, were the real lovers.
There was one flaw, one dis
cordant note. That was the adj
miration which Jack Laurence
evinced for the beautiful Pat. Jack
was as fascinating as the dashing
Jimmie, as well as extremely ell

admitted to her that he was bereft
of the fortune she thought still

were disclosed Wednesday by Hugh
8. Johnson, recovery administration
chieftain, in opening hearings on
codes of competition for the cotton
garment and kindred industries.
I'VE know that unless your goods
are moved off your shelves you can
not keep up your part in this pro-
gram" he said incisively.
THE time is approaching" he said,
land the signal will be merely the
certainty that this plan is working
that people are back at work. This
is no flash In the pan.
when that moment comes-and !
think 1t is almost here-I am going
to supplement our present program
by adding request to all consumers
that they spend for unemployment.
1.-THE only reason we have delayed
was that we didn't want to repeat
the mistakes Of the past.
ut would be unfair to ask people
to spend until 1t was safe for them
to do So"
johnson said the "buy-now" move
ment some time ago was rnsound be-
cause it asked people to spend re-
serves which they needed to guard
carefully. He also criticised the
share the work" movement.
While the spreading Of employment
and increasing purchasing power are
primary detectives OF the recovery
program, johnson emphasized that
another important element is elimi-
nation of certain practices that
bring degradation to some industries
and have threatened others"
He cited the elimination Of child
labor in the cotton industry as an
example Of reform that could be &C
complished by group action.
you've got lot Of teeth you need
pulled" Johnson said. "You want to
have them pulled and you have to
pull them yourselves"

PATIENTS AT STATE
SANAT0R|UM BEING
SENT HOME INCURRED
Those Having Two Years Care
Discharged to Make Room
For New Cases

Patients Of the state tuberculosis
at San Haven who are not
entirely we'll are being sent home be-
cause Of lack Of room DR.. Charles
MacLachlan, superinte1 ,dent, said in
a letter received Wednesday by The
Tribune.
With a waiting list Of So demand
ing care, the institution is being driv-
en- to the extremity OF discharging pa
tients who are still sputum positive
after they have spent two years In
the sanatorium, he explained, and he
IS giving officials and relatives q
months notice of his decision to en-
allie them to make arrangemtnts to
care for the patients who are being
cent home.
"The state sanatorium was estab-
lished for the care, primarily, OF
nninimal and moderately advanced
cases of pulmonary tuberculosis" the
communication says. cts primary
purpose has meantime been extended
to include all cases OF tuberculosis OF
whatever stage, uncOmplicated by
venereal disease, and instead Of being
devoted to the care of early cases with
a maximum prognosis Of arrest and
discharge within one to two years, the
Truth is that large majority Of the
cases for whom application Is made
are In the advanced stages"
Two-Year Limit
When after two years of treatment
there is no further hope Of arrest OF
the disease, MacLachlan says, the
sanatorium with its limited accommo-
cations and with large waiting list
must take care Of other patients who
have not been afforded the opportun-
ity of being hospitalized and who have
not been able to secure knowledge OF
cure-taking methods which the dis
charged patient has had.
During the past winter, he says,
there were Sc patients on the waiting
list. After presenting the problem to
the board of administration, the at
torney general and the state health
officer, the action at present proposed
was approved and with the relief thus
afforded the waiting list was reduced
to q minimum on April / last. It Is
again mounting rapidly and at the
present rate will have reached 80 or
more before winter.
AS an ex-member Of the state board
Of health and for over 20 years q
county health officer, the doctor states
he realizes fully the home difficulties
encountered in providing proper care
for sputum-positive cases.
Every many of the waiting appli-
cants are parents and have children
demanding protection and are insist
ing upon recognition OF their rights,
he says. I'VE conceive the above
stated action to be our only resort IN
all humane fairness"
