Thumbs Up

A popular slogan for winning the
war is Thumbs Up" and by coinci-
dence thumbs up has been for years
the trade gesture Of the hitchhiker.
A proposal has been made in Illinois
to capitalize on the coincidence and
actually help the war effort by Ii
censing hitchhikers, thus cutting
down excess auto travel and its
resultant wear on tires, and yet not
slowing up the movements Of defense
workers to and from work. Ironically
enough, the proponent Of the meas
ure Is named Packer.
In order that Packers picker
uppers may feel safe in giving lifts.
the pickee-uppees will wear arm
bands for licenses, granted only after
careful Investigations Of moral re-
sponsibility. The gentle art Of
thumbing will be greatly extended.
but the time-honored ritual of the
jerked thumb is still important, and
If the space is limited the best
thumb should win. If attached to
the hand Of pretty girl, 1t willard

win his most gratifying laurels In q
particular department Of writing In
which he did not try his hand until
relatively late In life. His father had
bequeathed him a farm near Pomp-
ton Lakes, New Jersey. That place he
called Sunnybank. and he made 1t
a center for the breeding Of fine collie
dogs-Lad, Bruce, Buff and many
others-which he dramatized with
the skill Of q master hand. An army
Of fans" almost literally stood in
line" for the stories in which he
recorded their real or imaginary per-
formances. "They were possessed Of
transcendental loyalties, capable Of
martyr-like sacrifices" and they
manifested "a canny intelligence
which often put their human masters
to shame" A veritable cult de-
veloped from the books, the magazine
articles and the newspaper "fillers"
in which their deeds were recorded,
their noble canine character inter-
preted.
Mr.. Terhune would be content to
be remembered in association with
his collies, but he also deserves recol-
lection for the service he rendered
to the reading public in the unlimited
field of his earlier and less notably
specialized interests. Like his
mother, he was an Influence" among

Hospital SHORTAGE

With the shortage Of hospital IA
cilities growing more acute day by
day, it has become plainly evident
that only Federal aid, promptly ex-
tended, can enable local public and
private hospitals to meet this serious
health problem in Washington. Un-
certainty as to the extent of the
shortage, and, hence, as to the extent
Of aid required, has been a factor
In the delay which has attended con-
sideration Of the problem by Con-
gress. Now, however, after conSulta-
ton with hospital representatives,
Commissioner Mason and Health Of
ficer Rutland have notified a special
Joint committee Of the House and
Senate District Committees that a
minimum of 867 additional hospital
beds must be provided at once to
take care of Washington's expand
Ing population.
With this estimate in hand, the
Joint committee has moved with
commendable celerity to seek man
datory ALLEGATION of at least $2,00Q,-
900 of the proposed Lanham housing
appropriation for construction of
urgently needed hospital buildings
here. The Lanham bill, which al
ready has been passed by the House
and which is being considered by
&ba Cene%a ro,,,voiffan ~, Tdpro fioy,
and Labor, calls for an outlay OF
S50,000,000 of emergency funds for
housing and necessary public works
In the District and vicinity. Hospitals
to meet the wartime requirements
of the Capital certainly are as neces-
sary as homes and roads and water
works. There will be no assurance
that any of the Lanham money will
be made available for hospitals, how
ever, unless Congress specifically di-
rects such use of portion of the
appropriation.
If the so-called Norfolk plan,"
described to.the joint committee by
Commissioner Mason, were adapted
to the local situation, the Govern
r1ent would build several tempo
rary hospital additions Of substan-
tial but relatively inexpensive con-
struction on land donated by the
hospitals, which would operate the
additions as part OF their regular
establishments. Later the tempo
rary" additions could be made into
permanent annexes, to be main

should not mean any change in the
present system Of private hospital
