 Several months ago, we helped Percy Beardsley get squared away on 8 little matter of releases to Warner Brothers. At that time, the Warner Brothers field man said that maybe Perc would be invited to big hamburger party and prcylcw when the first showing of tho film was arranged in the Tennessee hills. If that's the case, and If they bring Miss Leslie along, you'll find the gentlemanly man. ncrs of a Connecticut stOckman winning the favors of Hollywood's finest. We predict that Percy makes hcadway with the female lead. (But here's . word of warn- ing: Don't sign anything, Percy, untlA you sec us!

If you haven't enough work at home for your farm machinery, lend 1t to the neighbors. They'll return 1t, sometime.

, from AT children seen for diagnosis
 and treatment by the staff of the
 Bureau of Mental Hygiene in the
 psychiatric clinics during one year.
 Out of the AT cases a total of 66 cases fell into one of three groups.
 Doctor Cunningham explained that
 29 eases in Group l were already in
 the hands of the court for com-
 mitment proceedings, or else agen- cies had already taken preliminary steps to commitment at the time
 they were referred to the clinic. In group were 19 cases where institu- tional placement was being consid- cred. Examination showed that this would be necessary in short period of time. Tn group 3 were 18 cases in which the psychiatric findings were such as to indicate that com- mitment was to be expected al- though this outcome had not been recognized by the referring person.
 On the basis of the per capita cost of patients in institutions and the average length of stay, it was esti- mated that the cost of institutional iZation of the 66 cases would have been $l99,549.70. Some of those chil- dren would have gone to mental hospitals, some to correctional in- stitutions, and some committed to county homes or placed in foster homes.
 Actually, the total expenditure of the bureau for the period was $28,- 64125. Nearly all of this sum was expended for treatment of children in psychiatric clinics. Some time was spent, however, for educational and community work and in the in- spection and licensing of private nervous and mental hospitals.
 Doctor Cunningham said that at the time these 66 cases were closed, these seemed to be no immediate reason for anticipating future com- mitme1lt At the very least, com n1itment had been prevented for this particular year. If they had been institutionalized for the cur- rent year rather than for the aver- age length of stay, 1t was estimated that the cost to the state would have been $43, ,293 SO.
 These figures show only part of the saving that can be effected as a result of psychiatric work with children. Doctor Cunningham point- ed out that there is no way of cal- culating the future medical costs of rsychoneurotic children, though 1t is recognized that they represent a burden on dtspensaries and general hospitals. Many of the All children not assigned to the three groups were having educa- tional difficulties which could be remedded, SO that profitable use could be made of school facilities. No one can say what the loss in power of children, whether prevented from commitment or not, might have been. The values to the children, themselves, cannot be measured in terms of dollars and | cents.

Bill Garrigus is unnecessary to strain thin cider through an old felt boot to give 1t body, stamina, and flavor. He states that running thin cider through a cream scp- arat0r does the same thing. That's swell. if you own cream separa- tor, but lots of our folks have been making milk for so long and so unprofitably that they cannot afford cream separator. Anyway, felt boots were patented long be- fore cream separat0rs were in- vented. We will stick to the felt boot cider, if there arc any apples left after the freeze to make cider of this fall.
