The man whimpered, But the pain

A girl was badly burned two blocks
away and her mother carried her the
entire two blocks in her arms. Gilman
was reaching for his bag before he re-
membered the notice signed by Bax
ter For twenty minutes, while the
ambulance was coming from Long
wood, the girl lay screaming in the
Office with Gilman and Annabelle; /;
and Gilman, who ordinarily wasn't
prolane, kept swearing aloud and
mumbllng incoherencies about rules.
Many scenes like that.
There were no complaints from
Longwood or Baxter Only the pathet-
ic, sometimes bitter look on the faces

NOTHING happened - until the
night the taxi driver came into the
emergency ward where Nurse Anna
belle Kirke was on duty.
Say, there's man dying across
the street! Send doctor over! Hurry!
He looks like he's passing out!'
Nurse Kirke said, "I'll telephone
for an ambulance from Longwood,"
and reached for the instrument.
''Helr' said the driver This guy
won't last that long. He's dying. tell
you" The nurse said she was sorry.
Sorry! 1t made the taxi man boil. He
jammed his cap on his head and said.
1.-The hell with you" and rushed out.
The sick man was gray and gasping by
then. The taxi man put him into his
cab and drove furiously down to
Longwood. BY the time he got there
the man was dead. An intern came
out, examined him and said so. You'd
better take the body around to the
station house." he told the taxi man.
''In cases of sudden death. we're not
allowed to disturb the body until the
medical examiner sees it.
So the taxi man drove his dead
cargo to the station house. He went in
and told the desk sergeant about it.
He was still very angry at Budd,
and now he got angrier because the
sergeant said he would have to leave
the body in the taxi for an hour or so,
until the medical examiner arrived,
although the taxi man said he had
living to make and should be working
right now; he couldn't afford to lose
couple of hours. But he waited, NUT
tering, and damned Budd for not
sending across the street.

the rail said, "Budd? l thought you

PIERRE DU POINT BACKS
WHLKIE FOR PRESIDENT
Brands Entirely False" Statement
He FaVOrs Roosevelt Reelection

In a letter to Harry L. Cannon Of
Bridgeville. Pierre S. dupont de-
nounces as entirely false" the
statement that he is supporting
President Roosevelt for reelection.
This letter, dated yesterday, is in
answer to reports circulated thru
out Delaware, more especially among
the colored citizens.
Mr.. DUPONT writes as follows:
It has been stated publicly in
Delaware that I am supporting Pres
ident Roosevelt in his third term
campaign. This statement, no mat
ter by whom made, is entirely false
as am an ardent supporter of Wen
dell Willkie, whom / believe a man
to be trusted to carry out his plat
form pledges, which President
Roosevelt has failed to do through
out his eight years term.
The mistakes and experiments Of
the New Deal can not be corrected or
abandoned Immediately but the
country can not risk further mis-
guidance by the New Deal pro-
moters.
All who have the welfare Of the
nation at heart should vote for Will
kie-the Republican ticket.

Daniel Ericourt. the phenomen-

appear in the Capitol Theatre, Dover,
on Friday evening, November 8, un-
der the auspices of the Dover Co
operative Concert Association, be-
lieves that pianists may be divided
into three classes.
There are specialists" he says,
"sentimentalists, and artists in the
fullest sense Of the word. The lat
ter are at once master teehnicians
and musicians Of the highest order.
They are able 20 demonstrate beauty
inherent IN music and also to evoke
an emotional response. Rachman-
inoff has always appealed to me as
an ideal pianist because he possesses
all the vitality important quaIifica-
tions of a great pianist"
Wherever he has played this
French pianist has won great praise
and the Dover audience may antici-
pate an evening Of high esthetic en-
ioyment. This concert by the French
protegee Of Debussy is the first OF
