AS for Jubilee Hospital, this does
not hold true. This hospital has
scarcely any other fund than the dol
lar a day provided by Duke Fund
Yet, due to the poor economic con-
ditions of the Negro, this hospital is
forced to care for more charity pa
tlents than it is really capable of do
ing.
In this case the Duke fund is used
so far as it will go. But when special
medlclne or materials are needed the
patrons are usually requested to sup
ply tnem. For eample, when antitoxin
is needed tor the treatment of charity
patients who are suffering with gas
ln1ectlon, efforts are made to get the
patients TO procure the medicine,
which costs approximately $3.15 per
dose. 1t is reasonably expected that
the ~ per week provided by Duke
1und can not. cover the expense. AS
result quite often, the family flares
up in hostility and denunciation
against the hospital.
The extrinsic problem arises out of
the patrons inability to comprehend
what is. being done on their behalf.
hospital this day which are causing
the subject of discomfort on the part
of the patrons.
In one case the patients people are
of the opinion that we are withhold
ing an operation from the patient
simply because she has no fund.
While, on the other hand, we feel that

when we make a request for a small
payment which cannot be obtained,
their belief as to why we fail to OPP

I can truthfully boast of the type

There is not a single doctor here that

patient simply because he has no
sA11OHSy. II IS. true lfldI d DOCTOR at
times would ask his patient to "raise
some money" at preparation period,
and when he ceases to do that he is
not likely to get any otherwise. Yet
the absence of money has never kept
him from rendering service.
The depression has tested the for
titude of the doctors of Henderson
more than elsewhere in the state
While doctors were collecting from
$500 to 5000 per month from welfare
organizations elsewhere in the state.
Our average. so far as I know, was
only $500 a month, Notwithstanding
the fact that nearly all our patients
were relief patients. Hence, I feel, Mr..
Editor, that any charge of neglect on
the part of the hospital and doctors
here, because of inadequate funds on
the part of patients is wholly unwar-
ranted.
Yours veryy respectfully,

New York Sept. lit occurs to
me how many professional lens-mum-
mers are cameraaslay. Get the aver
age glamor-girl or. leading man off
the lot and away from the makeup
wizards and trick lights and they
blush and hem and haw and plead off
as soon as the cameras begin to point
their way
The film company was giving a
party not long ago at the Waldorf
for Claudette Colbert and a lot of
scribbers were invited. Some of us
suggested to lettering camermen that
it would be a good idea to snap a
batch of the so-called canlid camera
shots of the group, slipping iced tea
and eating marcelled anchovies and
what not. Miss Colbert blanched at
the very idea.
When she was at last discovered
hiding behind palm she vetoed the
whole idea. But several vice-presi-
dents took her aside to point out that
newspaper readers the world over
hungeredl to see her likeness. What
had she to fear? She, was a. cutie, as
every movie-goer knew, and if AS
well and Rowland, Field and Gilbert
Gabriel were willing tossexpose them
selves, why shouldn't she?
At last she consented, but only with
the proviso that she'd have to see
and pass on every pose before it went
to the engraving room. They were
sent to her by special messenger that
night and she >courteously explained
that none of them measured up. They
seemed to me attractive poses. with
Miss Colbert quite beauteous in the
foreground even if some Of the scrib-
bers did look a little silly
1t was simply a case of camera
filters. Most movie kings and queens,
vacationing in New York will cover
up and flee at the sight of one OF
those sidewalk photogs that snap and
snap and hand out cards telling where
the potos can be had for a quarter.
Indeed the only flicker lass I know
who doesn't mind being snapped in
any mood or pose, however unstudied,
is Bette Davis
Helen Hayes despises casual lens
men who click their shutters when
she's unaware. Katharine Cornell has
a particular animadversion to anna
teur movie grinders; this reporter
probably has one of the few lengths
of narrow-guage movie film ever
taken of her. and this was registered
while she was in vacation mood
aboard the lie de France, Europe
bound. Bing Crosby is, I am told, al
most as touchy about informal snap
shots as j. P. Morgan.
Basil Rathbone, the fastidious toff
who is in looming demand as a vii
lain before Hollywood cameras, was
sorely distressed not long ago when
he boarded a vessel and found a
small herd of fans waving cameras
and autograph albums at the dock. 1t
may be that Mr.. Rathbone has been
so successful in the enactment of
dastardly characters that he is afraid
sthe amateurs may expose him asa a
sgenial and happy-hearted ~ English
man, which he is i'm private life.

DIR. BECKFORD WRITES

Please allow me an opportunity to
say a few words relative to an edi-

local, or otherwise. However, since I
perform the major part of the medi-

my observations concerning its op-
The author of the letter is right in
his deduction, and the information
no doubt, meant well, but the running

other charitable institution is seldom

both angles are taken under consid-
Grafton.
There are two. major problems af-
fecting the Jubilee Hospital in it's at
tempt to benefit the Negro people.
The first is an intrinsic one which
lies with the management. The Sec
ond is extrensic, which has to do with
the patrons.
The intrinsic problem is evoked by
an effort of the hospital in attempt
ing to do more. than it. is capable of
doing. AS a general rule, for well or
ganized hospitals throughout. the
country, there is a minimum finan-
cial obligation which the patient must
meet. Meanwhile, in case of patients
depending on charity, there are spe-
cial funds provided to meet these OBJ
legations, regardless of the type OF

DOT IN PACIFIC
VITAL AS u. S.
ANYWAYS LINK
Kingman Reef Ideal for
SeapIane Landing on
Antipodes Route.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May "A small
island in the Pacific whose mere
existence was debated for years
seems likely to become an import
ant link in future American-Aus-
tralian airplane routes.
The island is Kingman Reef, a
mere dot in the wide Pacific, but
important as a seaplane landing
base because it contains q deep,
still lake completely protected from
ocean waves by circular rim of
land.
William T. Miller, superintend-
ent of Always for the Commerce
Department, recently visited the
island and thereafter announced:
'Kingman Reef probably will
figure prominently in the develop
ment OF commercial aviation on
the route to the Antipodes as one
Of the two stops between Honolulu
and New Zealand"
Islands Annexed by United States
Miller. during the last year. has
headed four expeditions from Homo
lulu to Kingman Reef and the near
by islands Of Palmyra, Jarvis, How
land, Baker and Semoa. His object
was to obtain weather data and to
survey possible landing places for
airplanes. AS result of these trips,
the islands Of Jarvis, Rowland and
Baker, which the United States and
Great Britain long had claimed
loosely without being much con-
cerned about them, were annexed
formally to the United States.
The interesting thing about King
man Reef, which lies roughly at the
intersection Of a line drawn south
from Honolulu with another drawn
west from Panama, is that for years
its mere existence was debated.
Various sailors had sighted land
there, but in 1897, the British war;
ship Penguin advised the Admiralty
that it had sailed directly over the
area where land was once reported, !"
and that none had been found. The
British sea lords ordered it stricken
from the navigation charts.
Sighted in 1921
In 1921, however, the u. S. S.
Eagle 40, en- route from Palmyra
Island to Honolulu, reported to the
Navy Department that it had seen
what looked like dry land at Lati-
tude 623 north, Longitude 1928
west. Little attention was paid to
the report.
A year or so later, however, L. A.
Thurston, publisher of the Homo.
lulu Advertiser, accompanied a
party to the island and, on May
10, 1922, landed there and claimed
it in behalf of the United States.
He left there a glass jar contain
ing an American flag and Homo
lulu newspapers.
When the discovery was re-
ported to the State Department,
Thurston, according to authorities
here familiar with the story, was
told that he must be wrong as
there is no land at Kingman
Reef"
The island was recognized Off
cially in 1925, when United States
Navy expedition landed there and
found the records left by Thurs
ton. 1t is now recorded on United
States charts.
