 In his talk last night Father O'Brien presented a word picture of the crucifixion of Christ, the culminations of a life which need not have been but that He chose it for Himself not for any benefit to or for Himself, but for mankind. The speaker stressed the fact that the sequence of events in Christ's If happened and were so ordered flor you and for me-, and he point ed out the great good attending a devout following and underestimate ing of what the cross signifies.

Empty Hospital Beds
 Denied To Sick Vets
Allegation Made By Texas Congressman in House of
 Representatives Says Wheeler Young Chieftan

The William Beaumont hospital at Fl Paso, Texas, a government institution, contains scores of emp ty beds while tubercular veterans of that city and its immediate vi- cinity, must make long and expen- sive trips to Albuquerque, N. M., 250 miles away, to receive treat mentor go without.
 This statement, made recently in the House of Representatives at Washington, D. C., by Congressman Thomson of Texas, illustrates one of the most tragic phases of the problem of disabled veterans, &C., cording to Commander Vincent P. Mahoney, Wheeler Young Post No POI, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States, who addressed the regular meeting of his post re- gently.
 "The inhumanity-the senseless red tape and governmental regu- lations which turn a sick and dying man away from the doors of a hos- pital supposed to have been built for his special care, is one of the gross abuses recent legislation has imposed on disabled veterans" Commander Mahoney stated. Reading the Congressional Record these days is enough to make Q strong man weep. Congresswoman Greenway of Arizona, Congressman Thomson of Texas, and other na- tional legislators who know condi- tions in those southwest areas from their own residence and personal acquaintance there, report that government hospitals, built with federal funds, are standing virtual ly empty while tubercular veter-

ans roam the streets of those c0n- munities.
 "One of the most ghastly fen- lures of this situation," Command- CT Mahoney declared, ''is that in thousands of instances, the men who, a few years ago, occupied those beds, who had come to rely on the promise of the government to care for them and their families, were literally put out of those same beds while feverish gaunt and haggard. They had been prom. ised government care, given gov- ernment >care until they began to feel secure, and then suddenly and without warning, it was withdrawn from them. Now they are in the streets, sick, unable to work, pen-s niless and haunted by the final mockery-that there is room f6w all of them back in those hospi- tals whose doors no longer are open to them.
 That such conditions exist and are a matter of public records in the published reports of our na- tional legislative body, constitutes an indictment of American govern- ment and American politics un- precedented in history" Commando CT Mahoney said, in conclusion.

Noted Hygienist Criticizes Severe Discipline in
 Talk on COnlplexes

The i'll effect of severe punish- ment upon children was stressed by Dr Beatrice M. Hinkle in an ad- dress before a large audience at the Davenport Hall last evening. The subject of her talk Parents, Chil- dren and Complexes" was handled in a capable and interesting man. ner. The lecture was the second in a series of four which is being sponsored by the Waterbury Life Adjustment center. Dr Hinkle is an authority on mental hygiene being associated as psycho-analyst at Cornell university and she was also one of the first women in this country to become prominently identified with the subject.
 The necessity of treating each child in the family as distinct in- dividual was named by Dr Hinkle as one of the most important fac tors in the raising of children. She pointed out that what might prove helpful to one type of child would be harmful to another. The lecture was followed by discussion.

FLORENCE REED
 PRAISES HOOVER
Celebrated Actress Gives Stirring Address at
 Speech Center

Former President Hoover pos- sessed a glowing personality, and his waning leadership and popu- larity were due largely to his in- ability to express himself in pub- lie. This opinion was brought out in stirring address by Florence Reed, the celebrated actress who was introduced to the gathering of notables in education, the the atre and related fields at the for nal opening of The Speech Center yesterday.
 Miss Reed dramatically described Mir. Hoover's nomination reception at the old Waldorf, on which oc- casion she was chairman of the theatrical committee. MT. Hoover atording to Miss Reed, admitted that he was painfully aware of his shortcomings as a public speaker, and especially so in the presence of so many prominent people of the theatre.
 Most of the people present at that reception, declared Miss Reed, were delightfully surprised at the charming personality of MT. Hoover inasmuch as all of the pub lished photographs had led them to expect an entirely different type of personality.
 Miss Reed proceeded to paint a vivid word picture of the tremen- dous ovation given MT. Hoover at the public reception held in Mad ison Square Garden that night. Everybody was for Hoover. The record, lasting twenty-one minutes. Then MT. Hoover began to speak. The substance of what he said was marvellous, but before he had spo- ken a minute, the audience began to get restless, and as a result of that fatefull public appearance MT. Hoover's popularity suffered per ceptibly.
 Speech, Miss Reed continued, contributes ninety percent to the success or failure of an actor, but speech is just as important to everybody in every activity. It ex- presses personality. Speech was a matter of such outstanding impor- tance to her, said Miss Reed, that she would make every effort to fit her other work, whatever or wher- ever 1t might be,tinto the demands of The Speech Center.
 Acting, she said, cannot be taught but speech is something diff ferent. She desribed how she had begun her theatre career as a lit- tie child, and how she was morti- fled to discover that her voice was just any old sort of thing. Nothing was then known about scientific voice development, so she was forced to devise method of her own. By means of her method she succeeded in lowering her voice seven points of the musical scale, and now she believed anyone would concede that she can do anything she has to do with the instrument of her voice.
