VISITS HOSPITAL
Last weekend it was the privilege
OF the members of the Ways and
Means Committee to visit Napa
Valley, where are located the Napa
State Hospital, the Veterans Home
at Yountville, the Napa State Farm
and locations Of the proposed dam
sites of Conn and Rector canyons.
The purpose of the trip was, of
course, to permit us to see the
reasons for requests for capital
outlay At the Veterans Home there
are several much needed improve
mentS, such as the demolition of
old three story wooden structures,
which are dangerous fire-traps, and
the construction of new buildings
to house some hundred and
sixty veterans. There is also a very
great need for additional hospitali-
2ation.
Colonel Holderman informed US
that the average age of World War
Veterans, of whom there are some
1900 located there at present, is as

"The attractiveness of the plan is

Withdrawn the equivalent of $62,-

sented a profit to them, at the
time of withdrawal, OF over $48,-

During 1910 the Sears concern
spent an estimated $l0,78l, $50 fol

and above its record payroll O.
$110,768000. Besides the profit shar.

tlon allowances. The amount ex.
pended by the company for these
benefits was $2,0l3,507 more thar

In addition, during 1910, Sears

A thoughtful husband had bought a dia-

birthday and hid it in the phone book I'm

Hubby was frantic when he reached home
that evening. Two of the publishers en-
ployees and Hubby himself spent most of the
night searching the trucks cargo. No luck
The following day Hubby reported that the
ring was found resting snugly in his alpha

i HOTOGRAPHS have been traced. One sub
scriber agreed to pay for searcher's time
to locate treasured picture his heartbroken
daughter had left in the directory. 1t was
found "a cheap print of Shirley Temple
which could easily have been duplicated.
Another really had value to its owner - even
though just sentimentally. 1t was the only
photograph widow had of her recently de-
parted husband. She refused to trust hired
searchers and started the task of checking
5000 directories. The boxcar was held over a
second day. She emerged from the car the
second afternoon - after looking through
some 5000 books - tired and dusty, but
happy in her reward
