It's finally arrived. 1t had been ex-
pected for some time but was rather slow
in arriving We refer to the demand for
the resignation of Everett Sanders, one
time secretary to the late Calvin Coolidge
in his presidential days, as chairman OF
the. national republican committee. The
demand comes from an anti-Hoover wing
of the party and no doubt will spread like
wIdfire There is no real love for Sand
ers among republican politicians. They
accepted him in 1892, but not with any too
good grace. That meeting of the ma
tiona committee will be forced now and
some action on Sanders Craftsmanship
taken is inevitable.

T THE FIRST ROBIN
(Christian Science Monitor)


As swiftly passing days nibbie
into the calendar, subur-
ban and rural America once more
look forward to the appearance In
the evening newspapers OF the
perennial paragraph announcing
that the First Robin has been
giimpsed, accompanied by the con-
vcntionaI comment that spring
must be Just around the corner.
OF course, 1t has been rather
concIusiyeiy established that In the
matter OF priority. the First Robin
is as fonexistcnt as the dodo or
the great aux. Ornithoiogists
maintain that there 10 no First
Robin, because he ii always pres
ent. They explain his nontppear-
ance during the periods OF pro-
nounced cold by saying that he has
sought tile shelter OF the deep
woods, where myriad trees afford
better wfudbreaks and where seeds
and Berries are available II srea<-

New Haven is going to buy itself an
asphalt plant. 1t figures that with this
addition to the municipal equipment there
will be little trouble attached to this bus
mess of keeping city streets in good shape
the year round The estimated cost right
now is $4,000 to $4,000. Coal tar used
of recent years in patching jobs has
proved 80 unsatisfactory that the asphalt
is to be tried Tar is still used in some
cases in Waterbury for patch jobs, but it
can't stand the wear and tear of modern
traffic. Where penetration pavements
are laid and require patching the same
substance usually is the best remedy.

Be Constructed in Western Washington-Care for
 Insane from Alaska

SEATTLE, Jan. 1.-The United States Public Health Service will build a S2,250,000 hospital in Vest ern Washington provided a 750- acre site is donated.
 This has been revealed here by Dr. L. D. Tricks, United States Public Health Service Director for this region.
 The need for a large area was explained by Dr. Prick as necessary because the institution eventually would have to produce a great deal of the food required by the pa- tients.
 It is expected the institution will be started with 400 or 500 beds and would be known as the West Coast Psychiatric Hospital.
 The Hospital will accommodate Alaska insane, insane Indians of Continental United States or other Federal wards for whom no spe- cific provision exists on the Pacific Coast.
