Immediate Relief Sought
For Mental Health Situation.

Another attempt is planned to
relieve, before the adjournment
of Congress, the bad situation as
to mental health cases. Rep
resentative Vreeland of New
Jersey has prepared a simple
bill which would permit Gallinger
Hospital to send Immediately to
st. Elizabeth's Hospital any
patients so disturbed, or so ill as
to be disturbed, in the former in
stitution which has very limited
facilities for caring for such cases.
The bill would also permit the
Commission on Mental Health to
send temporarily to St. Eliza
beth's persons found to be of un-
sound mind pending final ad-
judication by the court.
While those citizens who have
been working with Representa-
tive Vreeland for a better law
governing the care of mental
health patients want other
changes in existing laws, they are
satisfied that the most crying
need will be met by the new bill.
The proposal to abolish the COM
mission is highly controversial
matter with ardent partizans on
both sides. The legal fraternity
and the medical profession both
have their ideas as to what
changes should be made. All of
these, however, can wait until
this purely practical and humani-
tartan side of the problem Is
solved.
The civic groups are hopeful
that Congress will act promptly
to cure this cruel situation which
increases human suffering and
delays curative treatment.

With the increase of traffic &C

was on its way to piling up 400
deaths a year. If the rate which

ord.
But when 1t. Kreml took hold
the death rate began to drop. The
year ended with a record of 1886

In 1888 Detroit achieved a re-
markable record. Only 1876 lives
were lost. The death rate was cut
from 214 to lib.

Navy Trackmen To
Meet Duke Team
At Duke Saturday

Durham, May 12-Navy's track
team will make one of its infrequent
trips to this section tomorrow to
| race the Blue Devils of Duke in
Duke stadium. The first event will
start at 2::3O o'clock.
From the scores of their meets
with North Carolina, the Blue Dew
lis and the Middies will be about
evenly matched on the track and
they should battle right down to the
final event before a decision can be
made
Duke will be looking to Captain
Hubert Reavis and Don ,KinZle, ace
hurdlers, and John Mania, sopho-
more field event performer, for a
good share of its points. Kinzle,
conference champion and record
hurdler in both high and low hurd-
les, has not been in top shape this
season but should be rounding into
form now.
There is also much interest in the
baseball teams game with Wake
Forest at Wake Forest tomorrow.
The Blue Devils have defeated the
Deacons twice but Duke fans have
little hope that the boys will be able
to urn back the Deacons in their
own lair. Tommy Byrne, the south
paw ace, is slated to hurl for the
Deacons. Duke was able to exc out
a 6-5 win over Byrne in IL innings
here recently.
