DARK GIRLS, blond girls, skin

Leonard poured over the photo
graphs Of the girls in the contest.
Some looking like Hollywood, 9TH
ers making him think Of cool coun-
try club verandas-and not one
making him think OF COWS and
milking. What in the heck did the
girls think-that they were enter
ing a beauty contest! Apparently
every one Of them was trying to
impress him with her pulchritude
rather than her ability to milk
COW. II so, each and everyone Of
them had succeeded. For not by
the widest stretch Of his magma
tion could he visualize a single one
of them within a mile and a half
of a bovine mammal.
Disguised and discouraged, he
nung himself back into his chair.
AS he did so, he Jared a stack of
photographs, and one of them slith-
cred Off to the floor. Indifferently
and YEARLY he bent to pick 1t up
and gasped. Smiling up at him was
the likeness Of girl who made his
heart climb up into his throat and
try to do high dive.
The girl was standing with
niilk-pail in one hand, and the other
resting on the rear-end Of a some
what forlorn looking COW. Skin like
those peaches his grandmother had
been so proud of, hair like cornsilk
IN the summer sun, trim ankles,
slender body, and-wearing a ging-
ham frock and a sunbonnet pushed
back from her smooth white fore
head.

Considerable activity at Ypsilanti
State Hospital during the past fis-
cal year is revealed in the annual
report just published in booklet
form.
During the year 1871 the Ypsi-
lanti State Hospital has completed
the furnishing OF two patient build
ings having a capacity OF six hun
bred patients. These buildings have
been filled with patients and bring
the capacity OF the Institution to
3,340. This increased capacity makes
this institution the largest of Its
kind in the state OF Michigan.
In addition TO opening the two
patient buildings. new dining room
and kitchen building has beer
equipped and opened. This unit pre-
pares the food for and serves food
10 all women patients In the insti'
tuition except those in the Receiv
ing Hospital.
The dining room section is d.
vided into three rooms: one for dis
BILE patients and small dining room
for working women patients. The
employees are also served In a sep
arate dining room from the kitchen
OF this unit.
The old dining room which for.
merly was used by both men and
women is now being used by the
male patients. This separation Of
the patients at meal time Is proving
very satisfactory.
The cost of operation at the close
OF the fiscal year July l. 1941 was
1874 cents per patient per day. This
was only two cents above the cost
of the previous year OF 1916 cents.
The increase in cost OF operation.
however, in the latter months Of
the year reflected higher wages and
higher cost Of supplies and mater
ials. This Is shown in the cost of
operation for the month OF Novem-
Der of this year of 94.73 cents as
compared with a cost of S1.74 cents
for November OF 1870
The wages OF the employees OF the
institution were raised as OF July J..
1941. when the Civil Service Com
mission changed the base rate for
employees to one hundred dollars per
month. This increase In wages has
relieved the employment situation
materially although there are many
untitled positions at the hospital at
the close OF the year. The employee
turnover during the year reached
the high figure OF SO per cent. There
are as of January I. 1912, 6l3 posi-
tons. OF this number 500 are filled
and ~ are vacant.
The legislative appropriation for
the current year was $1.l00.922.O0.
This was made on the basis OF lower
wages and lower costs OF materials
than obtains at the present time SO
that it will be necessary for the
budget department TO request a spe-
cial appropriation for this institu-
ton or to bolster the appropriations
by some other method for the bal
ence OF the fiscal year.
During the year. 1,624 patients
were admitted to the hospital and
1904 or 35.l per cent were paroled.
A study was made In August OF
the age OF patients In the hospital.
at that time 10 per cent were be-
