At five o'clock Mr.. Malcolm Nc

Il don't know, sir. Haven't seen

When Mr.. Malcolm McGregor
raised his glass, Pete looked out the
window. He saw the two of them
walking slowly along the edge of the
maple grove across the golf course.
He smiled dimly :.
There was spring in the maple
grove and fiat rock they could rest
on. The air smelled sweet and warm
and heavy. "Funny?' he was saying,
II never really knew you till today"
The sun was throwing long shadows
and horizontal splotches of light now,
and there was a tinkle of water from
the spring. 1t sounded dim and far off.
Nor you," she said. She was sit
ting with her arms about her legs.
Her hair caught the sunlight like gol-
den mist. Tim thought her voice
sounded like the tinkle of the spring
water. "Do you like me better than
you used to, Tim?"
"I've always liked YOU" And he
thought he had always liked her.

"What'll you do. Tuttle" Tim got

Tuttle's big fist came at him. Tim
leaned out of the way. In the blow
that followed, all the pent-up resent
ment of three years gave strength to
Tins muscles. He felt the iron drive
of his arm, felt the impact, heard
the crunch of bone. Then he picked
Tuttle up and put him in the car.
(Get out Of the Way. I'm going oper.)
The next day Lucille McGregor
was at the club all day. Tim did not
arrive. AS matter of fact. Tim was
on his way to Cincinnati. Tuttle
did not arrive, either. He was sitting
at home. nursing sore jaw.

the evening she was quiet, quieter
than usual. Mr.. McGregor thought
she must be missing Tuttle, and he
felt sorry for her. Mr.. McGregor also
thought he had been too hard on Tim,
and so he felt sorry for himself, too.

Two weeks after his disappearance,
Tim Callahan walked into the Office
of the president of the McGregor

"I'm not fired" said Tim. He sat
down.
"You are! Who are you to tell me

"Of course not. They never. buy

House Report Is Held
In Error on GaIIinger
Staff Comparison
SIoshine So Employees
From Bill Not Justified
By Hospital Statistics
By HAROLD B. ROGERS.

The House Appropriations Sub
committee which reduced the, 1912
requests for Gallinger Municipal
Hospital by 5S employees was in
error in its estimates that these
employees would have given GAL
linger more employees per patient
than other comparable hospitals
throughout the country, it appeared
yesterday.
This was shown in an expert an
alysis of figures obtained from six
big municipal hospitals in other
parts of the country, and of Public
Health Service survey of hospitals
in 1885,
The House subcommittee elimi-
mated So employees, whose salaries
would have been $500, from the
bills appropriations for Gallinger,
declaring:
"A further study of similar types
of hospitals in comparable cities,
as contained in data prepared by
the Public Health Service in 1895,
disclosed that there was one en-
ploye for slightly less than every l 6
patients at the time the survey was
made"
Erroneous Interpretation
This is held by experts who have
analyzed the results of the Public
Health Service report to be an er-
roneous Interpretation. The report
disclosed that hospitals through
out the country generally showed
an average of about one employe
per patient That also was an esti-
mate given to the House subcom-
mittee by Dr. Edgar Bocock. super
intendent of Gallinger, as the
generally accepted figure.
The Public Health Service report
showed that the number Of patients
per employe for various hospitals
ranged from Z to IA, with some
large "non-profit" hospitals reaching
an even more liberal figure.
Interpretation of one of the Public
Health Service reports placed the
average at .88 patients per employe,
for general and special hospitals,
excluding mental and tuberculosis
hospitals. Interpretation of another
table of figures based on inclusion
of certain institutions, places the
average at nearer one employe per
patient.
Other Factors Considered.
Of the various hospital types
mentioned in the Public Health
Service figures, the one category
which probably comes nearer COM
pairing with Gallinger is that of
"other governmental hospitals" In
stitutions of this type were found
to have 127 patients per employe,
which is considerably below the
ratio of 16 used by the House sub

Recreation Bill
Before House
Tomorrow
Action Also Expected
On District Small
Loon Measure

Bills designed to reorganize and
coordinate Washingtons varied
recrestional activities and to permit
small loan companies to operate here
on an interest rate of 2 per cent a
month are scheduled to be consid-
cred in the House tomorrow when
1t observes the final District day OF
the month.
Supervision and control of pub
lie recreation, under one Of the
measures, would be placed in a
board of seven members, four Of
whom would be bona fide residents
appointed by the Commissioners.
The other three would be a mem
of the Board of Commissioners, a
representative of the Board of Edu-
cation and the superintendent OF
National Capital Parks. The board
would be authorized to select a su-
perintendent of recreation to serve
as its executive officer.
The small loan bill Is intended
primarily to attract into the District
some of the small loan companies
operating on the fringe of the boun-
dairy in Maryland and Virginia. 1t
would permit small loans up to $500
and fix the maximum interest rate
on the unpaid balance at per cent
a month. Existing law limits small
loans to 5000 and the interest rate
at l per cent a month. Virginia
and Maryland allow rate of 3 per
cent a month on loans up to $500.
Three other District bills are on
the House calendar and may be
called up for consideration.
One would throw additional safe
guards around the confidential in
formation in the records of the
Board Of Public Welfare with re-
spect to public assistance applicants
and clients. Another would increase
