In Menoriam

The Board of Directors of the
Montgomery County General Hos
pital this week passed the follow
ing memorial for Charles Farquhar
Brooke:
In the death of our late presi-
dent, Charles Farquhar Brooke,
which occurred on June 3rd, 1910,
this organization suffered loss
that will be felt as long as any of
US who were associated with him
are left to remember the faithful
and conscientious service that he
rendered for SO many years.
Mr.. Brooke succeeded J. j. Hut
ton as president of the Montgom-
cry County General Hospital in
May, 1925 and for the fifteen years
that ne held the Office gladly gave
of his time, energy and good
judgment in the service of human
ity and without thought of reward,
He rarely missed a meeting of the
Board of Directors or Executive
Committee even though, in the last
few years, it was often most diff
cult for him to attend.
When important changes in the
hospital or new construction such
as the Nurses Home were under
consideration, Mr.. Brooke's capable
and conservative advice was es-
pecially helpful and he should sure
ly have credit for a large share in
the advances in building and
grounds and equipment of the hos
pital which have been made in
twenty years.
In the preparation of this me-
mortal to one whom we all loved
no thought was given to fine
phrases built of empty words as
such a tribute would i'll fit a char
acter such as that of our friend
Charles F. Brooke.

them, Edith overlooked the purpose of
his next words.
"I'll gamble on your gambling to-
night, Edith. Be a sport. If you win
tonight I'll shut up about the west.
If you lose, we ship to California"
Edith laughed excitedly. "That is
a gamble, Slim"
She plunged into her gaming with
lightness that contrasted with the
strained features of four others at the
table. They seemed to be making
work out of what Edith enjoyed as

"Forthy thousand" smiled Edith.

recalled, she had complained over los

But Slim had won-California. He
stood smiling down on her.
GLOW soon do we leave?"

Slim stood with Edith up forward
on the deck of the ferryboat approach
ing San Francisco and inhaled great
portions of delicious, sweeping, fog
laden air. "Isn't this air great?" he
said Justify. "Boy! They should bot
tie fog like this and sell it for nee
tar"
Edith shivered and pulled her sables
up to the lobes of her ears. 81 would
say the practical thing to do would
be to cut it up in chunks and pack
it away in an ice house for next sum-
mer," she countered.
"Boy! Is that sight!" Slim en-
Unused as a rift in the fog revealed

neared the pier Sims eyes searched
eagerly as if looking for someone in
the waiting throng.
''There she is-there's Heather!"
he cried, waving back.
Heather? How did she know

said, smiling at Heather in a patroniz-
ing way.
Heather dropped with dismay. Slim
patted her on the shoulder.
Anyway" he comforted Heather,

The next day, Slim drove to the
racing office at Tanforan and noni-
mated Comanche for Saturdays Pc

away to see Heather and the mice
and fat" Knight Errant.
Slim turned the car into the stone
flaked driveway that led to her white
Spanish farm house, nestled under
two massive live oaks. Heather, who
had been grieving over the unhappy
turn of events of the day before,
heard the motors and came running
out joyfully.
"You got away!" she cried. did
Edith relent?"
"No, Pm A. w. o. L. Edith or no

"After all, Edith pays your sal

promise me, Slim, that you won't men

you must see Knight Errant."
She caught his hand as a joyous
child might, and they ran through
the quiet charm of q Monterey CIV
press grove thanking the slender
white-pebbled stream that led to the
paddock Dan had built for Coronado.
Suddenly Slim stopped in his tracks.
His heart missed beat and turned
over sickly.
For he was confronting Knight Err

she thought this incredible.
Il wired her from Omaha"
"Oh," Edith said with a triple in
Election that plainly revealed her dis
pleasure.
So this, thought Edith suddenly,
was why Slim was so eager to return
to California-for a girl, not horse
The ferry locked. The gates swung
up and Heather rushed eagerly to
greet Slim.
ooh, Slim, I'm so glad to see you
I knew you'd better hurry back" she
dubbed excitedly.
And in her joy over Sims return
she was even prepared to greet Edith
warmly. But ).
Glow are things on the farm?'
Edith inquired, pleasantly enough, to
be sure, but with an emphasis on the
farm" that was challenging.
Heather sought to meet Edith's
barb, but before she could stammer q
retaliatory word squad of camera
men pounced upon Edith. They were
welcome relief to Slim.
81 want a word with you, young
lady," he said, edging Heather be-
hind small mountain of luggage
But Edith was reckoning.
"Come, SLIM" Edith aid, much in
the manner of woman speaking to
her poodle dog. "You must be in
this"
The cameramen raised their eye at
Slim and then exchanged trade
glances" among themselves.
After photographing Edith and
Slim, at the formers request, the
cameramen whisked Edith to a wait
ing limousine, where she could be
snapped solo.
While Edith posed, Slim listened
to Heather's revelations of reborn
Knight Errant, ready to go back and
conquer the world after long rest
in the lush pactures of her Carmel
Valley farm.
The two were so absorbed in each
other that they were not aware Edith
had rejoined them.
Knight Errant?" He's looking

enthused

before, an ugly duckling, bought fol-
virtual song, later to earn millions

With a mingling of awe and adj
miration Slim saw Edith drown out
ruthlessly, opponents in the bidding
when some colt caught her expert
fancy.
A black yearling was led out and
Edith asked Sims advice.
"He has racy looking legs" he coun
seled, checking an impulse to add that
they reminded him of Knight Err
rants. Sims few words of encour-
agement were all Edith needed to
touch off a wild buying urge. She
offered $4,000, opening the bidding =

remarked.
"Don't do it, you'll jinx both me and

With reckless flourish of the pen
Edith wrote check for $114, 900, pay

80 per cent of the yearling thorough

After her exciting spending orgy
Edith wanted relaxation.
"That was work." she sighed. "Let's
drive to The Cottage"
Admission to The Cottage was by
card, but Edith's was by recognizance.
She had been there in other seasons
ad had she stopped to reflect ;.
Well, reflection which was now
shining down on her she had paid for
a 100000 chandelier, which so bril-

AS they entered, Sims eyes wan
dered longingly to the craps table, his
weakness. But Edith had a weakness
too. It was roulette.
The croupier at the roulette wheel
had seen Edith come in and hurriedly
sent for fresh stack of hundred dol

There was standing order to this

Meet a Young Woman of FIFTY!

A good-looking woman so years
old is not unusual today. And
whether they realize it or not, these
young women of so owe their
youthfulness to advertising.
Idle talk, you say? Not at all!
Statistics show that the life span of
women has been extended IL years
in the last three decades. This pro-
longed youth is, to large measure,
due to labor-saving devices devel-
oped by American Industry.
You merely have to look about
the modern American home to see
how the burden of household labor
has been shifted from mothers to
motors. Vacuum cleaners, stokers,
oil burners and electric-powered
kitchen equipment are but few of
the wife savers.

ment and machinery to manufacture

The touch of progress goes be-

On this warm summer evening Slim

But Edith flushed with displeas-

at the mention of Knight Errant.
"She's jealous-jealous of horse!'
he thought. Women were battling
