EVER since he heard Stephen
r, Douglas tell crowd of Illinois
farmers Abraham Lincoln was
going to address them in pair of
socks he had worn all his life Michael
Casey has been a Democrat.
The socks didn't have anything to
do with Casey's political affiliation,
but the incident is just used by him
to mark time.
He doesn't recall dates very well,
says Casey who Is nearing his Gath
birthday anniversary, but he believes
it was in 1857 that he heard one of
the many Lincoln-Douglas debates in
Olney, III.
Socks Douglas Theme.
Douglas had just finished Grating
to every living soul from so miles
around" and was introducing Lincoln
when he called attention to Lincoln S
socks
He has on pair of homespun
socks that his mother made. He ha;
worn them all his life and there's not
hole in them," Casey quoted Doug
las as saying.
The crowd roared with laughter, re-
called Casey, and all but a handful
left for their homes and the saloons
when Douglas completed his intro
duction and the Illinois rail-splitter
started to speak. Casey also left.
Casey, who lives at 622 Emerson
street, was not old enough to vote for
Douglas that year, but he IVES in
favor of the party he represented.
1t was in 1864 that he cast his first
ballot for the Democratic party and
Gen. George Mcclellan was the NOM
inee.
Today Casey was at the Democratic
absentee voters Office in the National
Press Building ready to file an ap-
plication for a ballot.
Fought In Civil War.
He is a Civil War veteran, having
fought in the 32d Illinois Regiment
alongside his father, Matthew Casey
who died of illness contracted at the
Battle of Shiloh.
Casey came to this country with
his parents from Dublin, Ireland. He
lived in Illinois for many years but
he filed his application to vote in
Cheyenne, Wyo., his home before he
came to Washington about a year
ago.
A cane with silver plate given
him by the Maryland Sons of Civil
War Veterans on his 93d birthday an
niversary last November % attracted
the attention of President Roosevelt
when Casey was at the White House
recently. 1T should have been a
shillalah," the Chief Executive said
after looking the stick over.

Feasibility Of System Due
to Be Determined by
Next Week.
FAMILIES STILL SPURN
OFFER, CANVASS SHOWS
Embassy Dairy Finds Only 81
Customers at 500 Homes
During Campaign.

Commissioner Allen should know
by the first of next week whether his
plan to provide l0-cent milk for relief
families is a success or a failure.
By that time. families on relief rolls
will have received their weekly allot-
ment from the emergency relief divi-
sion and will be in a position TO buy
milk if they care to.
Embassy Dairy, one Of the two dis
tributors which offered TO provide milk
to the poor families. reported today
that only 81 quarts had been sold out
Of 500 homes visited yesterday and
Tuesday, Edward L. Koepnick. treas
urer of the company, said he expected
his solicitors and drivers to canvass
approximately 1000 relief homes Sat-
urday, the day on which relief money
is distributed.
The plan for 10-cent milk was agreed
upon yesterday afternoon when Com
missioner Alien scceded to the de-
mands of Frank S. Walker, president
of the Maryland and Virginia Milk
Producers Association. Allen had at
tempted to buy the farm surplus Of
milk at 20 cents a gallon. so as 10
provide 9-cent milk for relief purposes,
but Walker insisted the farmer was
entitled to "a cents. He won his point
after a tWo-hour argument
The plan under which the dairy
companies Embassy and Chestnut
Farms-Chevy Chase-will solicit their
own business will be tested for so
days. If consumption of milk Is not
materially increased at the end of
that time, Allen said the District gov
ernment would buy milk tickets from
the dairy companies and distribute
them among the relief families in lieu
of cash. Under this method, he said,
those on relief rolls would be forced to
drink milk, as the tickets would be
unredeemable for anything else and
non-transferrable.

Meanwhile. officers of the Maryland
and Virginia Producers Association
announced last night the appointment
of Bruce B. Derrick as manager OF
the association. He succeeds John Nc
Gill. jr., who resigned last March
after the Senate milk investigation.
Derrick, who will take over his new

DR.. BocoCk Says GaIIinger
Facilities Must Be

Staff of Institution Held Too
Small to Continue Work on

Gallinger Hospital has reached the
limit of its present capacity and must
be enlarged soon If the policy of GEN.
tralizing the INDECENT sick there Is
to be continued, the Commissioners
were told today by DR.. Edgar A. Bo-
cock, superintendent of the institu-
ton.
He stressed the point that the aver
age number of patients treated at
Gallinger during the fiscal year end
ing June 30 last was nearly three
times as great as the numbec cared
for in 1880, when the first permanent
building of the institution was placed
in operation
There were SIS patients in the
wards of the hospital on July /, 1888,
DR.. Bocock said in his annual report
submitted today. During the year 49,
OIL cases were admitted. as compared
with 1878 the previous year. There
were 1892 infants born during the
year. The total number of new pa
tients showed an increase of 2,303.
Must Reopen Wards.
ITO accommodate this rapidly in
creasing number of sick, it has been
necessary to reopen abandoned wards,
to cause small compartments to be
used for a larger number of patients
than originally intended and to make
shifts and transfers not found neces-
sary or practicable heretofore" DR..
Bocock said.
In spite of these efforts. much un-
avoidable crowding has been present,
with the result that the best possible
nursing and professional care could
not at all times be rendered" He
added, however. that the results of
treatment have been reasonably salts
factory: that the death rate was not
unusually high
Since 1880, when the main building
was opened, second permanent unit
has been constructed and there now
is under construction q third unit to
be used as a contagious disease ward.
Sought S75O,0OO Loan.
Congress last session authorized the
District to apply to the Public Works
Administration for a loan OF about
S750,00 for construction o. a fourth
unit of the hospital. This loan has not
been forthcoming.
DR.. Bocock declared that the staff
of the institution is far too small to
give the best of care to the increasing
number of patients. While the house
staff of 40 resident physicians has
worked diligently and well, it has been
inadequate in number to cope salts
factorily with the constantly increas-
ing number of patients" DR.. Bocock
said.
DR.. Bocock said one of the outstand-
ing faults of the present system was
the lack of hospital social service
organization.
He stressed the need of a new ward
building for medical patients

AT err the afternoon sermon in

mar. last Sunday, a large crowd
of neighbors and friends of the

church basement, where tables
were set with refreshments, and
speeches were made in honor of
these early settlers of the Dagmar
community who have decided to
move to a milder climate. They
will leave for Mississippi imme-
diately, with the intention of MAX
ing their future home near the
Gulf.
Early in 1908 Jens Brinkman and
family moved here from Iowa and
settled on homestead where they
built a nice home and farmed quite
successfully until the late dry
years. During the many years
they have always been considered
the most respected and active farm
ers and their many friends are
only sorry to see them leaving.
With Mr.. and Mrs. Brinkmar

will not one group dominate an

things When the enemy stands

me against our common enemy.
Therefore we Socialists are

enemy is fascism. l appeal to the

low the example of the Saar to
bring about a united front every
where, so that the bond of Social

AS the Congress progressed we
realized that we had achieved

record alone, but in every possible
way, to unite all kinds of women
in organized action after the Con-
ference.

said, eve now realize that we can
never have peace, and that women
can never gain their freedom until

the influence of the ten women

free women, with their ringing
words, challenging the entire Con-

After their great speeches the
entire Congress was modified into
