that if children were being sent
away from London that, of course,
all of the children would be- sent
away from his town too, and his
great concern was that he have the
chance to remain with his mother
whom, he said he was willing to de-
fend with his gun.
When the mother explained that
our country at that time was not at
war, that London was a very distant
city, and that no one had in mind

Freedom Explanation Scores.
A mother of a 9-year-old recently
explained to us how she had given
him some ideas of what the war was
all about. At the time she knew that
he was studying in school about the
Civil War and slavery. She was able
to point out to him that the Ger
mans wished to make every one else
their slaves and that to be free, to
choose the kind of work you wish to
do. free to 60 to the school that you

1t became necessary later when
the first blackout practice was held
to give the child some explanation
as to why such elaborate prepara-
tions were being made to darken
the house. He became quite in
trigued when he was told that we
were practicing for the possibility
that some time the enemy bombers
might come over Washington and
that we should want to make the
city absolutely dark so that they
would have great deal of difficulty
in finding us.
He was frightened and wondered
If bombs that they dropped could
kill people. His mother told him
that that, of course, was possible
but that we were doing a great
many things to protect ourselves.
Not only were we making the city
dark but that we had guns to shoot
the planes down and airplanes of
sur own which would go up and
fight them. The possibility of dan

Honest Answers Reassuring.f
They are much more frightened
if their parents are unable to give
them some kind of an honest answer
which they can understand, or try
to avoid it by assuring the children
that they are too young to under

danger is left entirely to their own
imaginations, which in many in
stances can be far more terrible to
them than the real truth.
A great many of the fears which
children do express about the war
can be dispelled by true statement

No. ; Precinct Detectives
Solve Three Robberies

Three No. police precinct detec-
tives-Leon Frost, Francis Gaver
and G. w. Chapman-were credited
today with solution of three rob-
berries which occurred in the last

Their cases were:
Arrest of a 3l-year -old colored
man in connection with the robbery
of James Sistrunk, 4601 Meade street
NE. of his wallet containing $37
while he was asleep in chair in a
barber shop in the 100 block OF

Children's questions can an d
should be answered truthfully and
honestly. Further. they must be an
swered in way in which the child
will understand. Very often parents
can do this most easily by drawing
analogies to small events in the
child's life or to subjects that he Is
particularly interested in at the time.
We are usually surprised at how few
questions children do ask when they
get satisfying answers.
Often 1t will be days and weeks in
which from the child's behavior and
conversation one senses little aware
ness on his part of world events.
Not only is it important to an
swer his question in terms Of avoid
ing fears and MISUNDERSTANDING
about what is going on, but also it is
the basic preparation for any plan

do to protect the children in either
an acute emergency or in helping
him to adjust his life to the chang

tation data collected by E. A. Love-
less and M. E. Hernick in the Camp

Full Appeals Bench
To Hear Damage Case
Against Hospital
Viii! Decide Whether

In Such LeeoI Actions

On Monday, before the full bench
Of six jurists of the Court of Ap-
peals, a rehearing will be held on
the question of whether Washington

problem that has puzzled the three
judges who have been studying the
case for several weeks.
On the courts own motion. 1t was

to hear the case anew with full

Represented by Attorney Emmett

Hughes. a nurse, specially called on
duty at Georgetown Hospital-and
not regular employe of the insti-
tution-brought suit in District
Court against the hospital and the
jury gave her verdict of $4,000.
SO important did the trial judge,
Justice James M. Proctor in Dis
trict Court consider the problem,
that he wrote memorandum opin-
ion. holding that the hospital was
not immune from liability, that the
issues of fact were properly sub
mitted to the jury and ordered the
judgment entered for Miss Hughes
Georgetown Hospital, represented
by Attorney Henry l. Quinn, ap-
pealed the case to the Court Of
Appeals, contending the rule that
has existed here for a century
should not be disturbed-that a
hospital normally is exempt from
damage suits. This follows the old
English common law doctrine that
institutions of this character are
not usually answerable in court for
damages.
Miss Hughes contends that she
was seriously and permanently in
jured, when student nurse care
lessly flung open a door in the hall
way of the hospital while she was
passing. Attorney Sheehan argued
TO the appellate court that the spe-
cial act Of Congress, under which
Georgetown Hospital was created,
makes it liable in all kinds of ac-
tions; that the theory of immunity
advanced by the hospital is without
legal merit and that the jury prop
erly decided the case.

Tvo Escape As Car
Goes Through Ice

Two Sturgeon Lake men. Vern
Anderson and Tony Katchmark, had
narrow escape from death in the
waters of Sturgeon lake, east of the
village Sunday when the car in which
they were riding on the ice broke
through and plunged into about so
feet of water.
The men had been working on a
fish house off Swanson's Point, the
ice there being foot thick. They
had followed the shore line, but on
one of the trips tried short cut and
struck weak ice and open water. The
car started to sink through but hung
momentarily on the edge of the ice
giving the men time to crawl through
a window. Both went into the water
but managed to reach safety.
The car, owned by Anderson, is
still on the bottom of the lake.

Russian War Seed
Relief Group Here

Local stations have been set up in
various business houses in Pine coun-
ty where donations will be received
to be used for Russian war seed re-
lief. Nels Lundorff of Sandstone, is
chairman of the committee and other
members are Clair Shuey of Pine
City, and Chris. Frederiksen of Askov.
Since the loss of the Ukraine and
other land to the Nazis, Russian
farmers have more difficulty in OBJ
tanning enough suitable seed so that
they may produce their own food
and thus save greatly needed ship
ping space.
Plans have been worked out in
Russia to utilize seed in areas not
occupied by the enemy. Russia must
have seed in order to utilize its man
power on the home front for food
production.
Americans have been sending huge
quantities of lend-lease food to Rus
STA, but these contributions can 60
only short way in filling the great
demand for food. Russian civilians
are going to raise much of their own
food next year if they can get seed.
The Pine county setup is under the
Minnesota Russian War Seed COM
mittee.
