bers of the family would be able to
raise enough money to paw the full
cost of caring for him. The money
spent by the Community Chest to
make up the difference between the
part pay supplied by the sisters and
the regular cost of disqualification
would be regarded as loan, she said
to be paid back to the Community
Chest.
The sister was delighted with the
treatment accorded her brother. She
declared that his treatment was equal
to any given a patient in a private
room. And in addition to his physical
improvement the patient had improved
in spirit, which was helped by the fact
that his wife, who had been notified
had borrowed money and come to see
him.
The sister expressed her gratitude
for the courtesy and consideration
shown her in all departments of the
Central Admitting Bureau and de-
clared that the treatment accorded
her had given her new insight into
what the Community Chest means to
Washington.

and a husband, whose salary was not
large. Deciding that something had
to be done she decided to go to the
Central Admitting Bureau for Hos
pitals, of which friends had told her.
After an interview to determine GER
tain fundamental facts about the
patients financial position the sister
was taken to the medical social worker.
She admitted that she had been fear
full of applying for help because 1t was
an entirely new proposition to her.
She said. however, that every one had
been so courteous that she felt much
easier about it and frightened
visibly when the worker told her that
arrangements could be made to take
care of the brother for two weeks at
a minimum amount, which the sisters
felt they could pay. The brother was
removed to hospital.
Two weeks rolled along. The medical
social worker was again busy. when
she received a card from Mrs. Bailey
asking for an extension of another
week. The worker glanced at the card
showing the history of the patient and
again arranged for the extension.
All Cheered by Recovery.
Another week passed and the medi-
cal social worker, concerned with doz-
ems of other cases, had relegated to
the back of her mind the case of
Mrs. Bailey, and her brother. when
Mrs. Bailey came in again. She was
happy and cheerful and informed the
worker that her brother had made
marvellous improvement and was 60

would have to remain in the hospital

The woman tcall her Mrs. Bailey,

desperately i'll and had had two con-

sister had spent the night with him
and they were anxious to get him to

This family had never asked for
aid before. The brother was married

years and consequently was unable to

HOOVER REPORTED
SET AGAINST RACE
Will Announce This Summer He
Is Net Candidate, Says
Paper.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 29-The New
York Times says in a special dispatch
from Washington that former Presi-
dent Hoover will formally announce
late this Summer that he is not a
candidate for the Republican presi-
dental nomination.
His intentions were revealed, the
dispatch explains. to several Repub-
1ican Senators who had been on the
point of asking him for a public state
ment of his position.
1.-The advice, coming directly from
Mr.. Hoover through an emisSary, was
that he would declare in a letter or
statement to be made public late this
Summer, perhaps during the ''hi-
jinks" performance of the Bohemian
Club in San Francisco, that he in
tended to remain in private life and
that he had already arranged his
future career along that line" the
Times continues
The former President also sent
word, says the dispatch, that he had
been active in criticizing the admin
istration because he was the titular
head of the party; that he did not
want to announce his position too
early because the public would not
take his utterances with the same
authority; that he intended to get
behind the party nominee and ac-
lively aid in the campaign, and that
the chances for urpnipC peYt vear r
were increasing every day.
