 W.H.K.. BUTTE. Mont. If you think Washington reporters 6Mr K. referred to the word-of-mouth kind as well as those who write for news papers and magazines. and those who broadcast over radiol are ex- aggerating about the h.c.L in Wash ington, let me tell you a little story.
 I have a friend of moderate cir cumstances. He recently was trans ferred from New York City to Wash ington. In a month or so, there is going to be an addition to the fam fly. In New York City. often re- ferred to as the most expensive in the world. he had made all ar engagements. In sine of the finest hospitals. he had reserved a private room at $6 a day. His wife's phys ician had estimated an overall charge of $50.
 They started immediately to make arrangements here. The hospital: S7 a day for a pr1vate room PLUS S2 a day for the baby's board and keep They had 10 agree to stay at least two weeks, with a proviso that they'd stay there if the physi- clan thought more than 14 days were necessary. BUT, if crowded conditions in the hospitals become worse, it was to be understood that they were to move out within 12 days.
 The obstetrician.s fee: around $200 provided of course. there are no serious complications.
 I don't mean to say that this is the low price for bringing a baby into the world ih Washington. It's far from the top price too.
