A quick look of anxiety passed
over Greg's face.

she did have money. Didn't she tell

''She didn't say a word about it.

have taken it with her. for it was
gone."
Greg looked troubled.
We'll, I'm glad / put it there" he
said with a sigh.
For three long. weary days Greg
carried on the search, only to find
IN every case nothing.
He had gone back to the hospital
that first afternoon and had an in
terview with the powers that be.
He had said things to the head nurse
and her overlords that had brought
down her pride and sharpness and
caused the hospital officials to make
great apology. They were mortified
that the gift, which had indeed been
generous, should have been so un-
fortunately received. The head
nurse was in real trouble. Apologies
had been demanded of her by the
board Of directors, but the rich
young donor would receive no apol-
ogies himself. He said that when
the insulted patient was found it
would be time for apologies, and he
wanted them made to her, not to

Dictators' Pressure Felt
 In Division Of Palestine

900 in the all Jewish city of Tel- Aviv, and over half the population of Jerusalem, The Arab population increased from 600,000 to 950,000.
 But the two branches of the Sem tic race did not get along. There have been many an outbreak in which Arabs attacked and killed the Jews and ruined their crops.
 Attempted Settlement
 Last year the British government sent out a royal commission, headed by Lord Peel, to investigate the whole matter anew and make rec concentrations. These they have now published. About one-third of Pal estine, mainly valley land and along the sea-shore, is to be given to the Jews for Jewish independent state. The rest is to be given the Arabs, who can join up with Trans Jordan in one independent state The holy cities of Jerusalem, Beth- lehem and Nazareth are under Brit ish amndate and there is to be a British corridor from Jerusalem tc Jaffa on the sea.
 Nazl Influence
 Zionist organizations all over the world have already begun crit icizing the government decision They say the territory allotted tc them is far too small to accom-. modate those who wish to migrate there, And some of the things of which the Jews are proudest are outside the Jewish state-the Pal estine electricity supply system, and the chemical exploitation of the Dead Sea.
 But zoinist critism will not go tc bitetr lengths and Zionist organ!- cations will not seek @ row with Britain.
 The answer Is Adolf Hitler. The Nazi persecution of the German Jews and the repercussions this hos had in Poland and Rumania will make Jewish organizations hesitate about attacking a land in which Jews are named as cabinet mem- bers, viceroys and colonial gov ernors and which in many of them are created as peers of the realm,
 On the other hand, while the Arabs, too, are dissatisfied with the division as proposed, If they have gotten more than they might have otherwise obtained they can thank

 Checkup Made
 The local welfare department checked the files yesterday through the letter M. The completion oi the check-up should be realized in the next day or two and 1t Is eX- pected that more than 100, as was originally estimated, will be found in the alient category.
 The communication from New Haven in regard to replacing aliens by members of their relief families gave rise here today to e new ques- ton. It was supposed, following the first communication from New Haven that the state quota would be cut by 2,5o0 more WPA workers, that the drop in Waterbury would be about 100.
 More Speculate
 With replacements apparently planned and the local rolls now re- duced to q point where persons with adequate outside means are almost -existant, there is considerable speculation as to the actual de- crease in the local personnel.
