Dear Sir:
Thank you for your letter OF
May 20 concluding with your good
wishes and cordial subscription.
Perhaps l did, as you say, over
estimate your influence.
II is interesting to note that you
are not hampered by the facts.
You may be interested even at
this late date in learning that Robe
son, now doing time in Jackson for
another crime, has acknowledged
that perjury was committed in his
behalf in the trial before me
Further. you will note that the
Supreme court reversed the verdict
OF the jury in that case.
The two detectives have been re-
stored to duty as reliable officers
Thank you for your promise that
you will oppose me m the future.
l have no regret for my years OF
support for the Nation4' Association
for the Advancement Of Colored
People. but l am proud of the in
dividual enemies have made dur
ing my service in the courts.-Yours
very truly. Arthur z. Gordon.

that you have by far over-estimated

in 1899 you criticized severely a

Jack Jones, two detectives who
beat a prisoner. But now. you
have gone even one better.
You will remember that you also

Nurse Service
Told Community

Emphasis today is being placed
on military and civilian defense, all
over the country. With the increas-
ed working hours and increased
tension which confronts all OF us
too few people are concerned with
maintaining health standards which
will give them maximum working
ability. Hospitals today are crowd
ed, and in addition 10 the people
who may prefer TO stay home dur
ing an illness, many are now forced
10 do so by scarcity Of hospital
beds. To these people adequate
nursing care is a problem. because
often they nerd a nurse for a short
time only. and go without, rather
than have one for several hours.
To these people, the Detroit Visit
ing Nurse association is especially
valuable.
The Detroit Visiting Nurse asso-
citation will send a nurse TO your
home, for an hourly fee, to give
a bath, a special treatment ordered
by your physician, hypodermic or
to show you how to care for a
sick person or a well baby. The
nurses work only under the direc-
ton OF your physician. Beside be-
ing graduate nurses, they have spe-
cial training in caring for the sick
in the home.
The services available 10 you
through the Visiting Nurse sssocl-
alton are those OF general nursing
care, 4 delivery service which sends
a nurse to help mother and ply
sician at home confinement, a diet
therapy service which helps with
the planning OF special diets and a
physio and occupational therapy de-
partment which give special treat
ments ordered by your physician.
The association has definite fee
for its visits, but because it is a
member of the Detroit Community
Fund, 1t is able to offer a lower
rate where the family is unable to
pay the full cost OF the visit Many
families have the nurses services
available through insurance policies
which give care, and many factory
insurance policies will give nurs-
ing care.
Recently the Visiting Nurse asso-
citation has made available a nurs-
ing service for small factories and
industries which need a nurse ex-
perienced in this type OF work for
part-time. The industries find that
prompt ard efficient care Of injur-
les at work cuts down lost-time
accidents, so that the nursing serv-
ice pays for itself.
In Detroit approximately one out
OF four babies is born at home. The
Visiting Nurse association is present
at about one out Of seven OF these
births, and gives care during the
after period to about three-fourth
Of the mothers who stay home.
Nurses are available for home de-
liveries "a hours a day. and if you
call Columbia 1900 a few weeks
ahead OF time. nurse will come
out to help you plan for your con-
finement.
In addition to the work done by
the staff, the Visiting Nurse associ-
alton is valuable to the community
in general through its board and
committee members. Each branch
office ard each suburban town has
a lay committee, whose purpose is
to take an active part in promoting
all health work with the COM
munity.

not even notice the perfection Of
her clear-cut English which is a
compliment to her acting ability
and her determination to learn.
:. She has worked hard TO mas

fewer than six teachers have

WHERE are the Juliets of
w yesterday?
Many have turned up as en-
terprising business women or
important political figures, even.
Most have settled into that do
nestle obscurity from which no
actress returns.
Very few have remained on
top in their profession. They
have kissed their Romeos and
gone their ways apart from a
career in the profession.
One of the exceptions is Bev-
erly Bayne, the charming actress

Beverly Bayne, just to refresh
your memory, was the first
Juliet of the screen. When she
and Francis x. Bushman CO.
starred in Shakespeare's tragedy
of the immortal lovers, they
appeared in the first Shakes
pearean play presented on the
screen.
While Norma Shearer was un-
winding her pigtails in Montreal.
Beverly was giving the first
c;nc,natic balcony workout
that most film fans remember
even today.
For the past few years, Miss
Bayne, luxuriously retired. has
been happy in her domestic life

business man.
He is equally absorbed in
Washington affairs. and frowned
on the idea of his wife's return
