give something back in reply en-
veloped us further.
Gen. George C. Marshall sent an
encouraging message on April Is, a.
day of tough and accurate shelling
on Corregidor:
THE continuing demonstration
that you and the members of your
command are giving to the world of
courage and devotion to duty is
worthy of the finest traditions of
American and Filipino soldiers. We
are immeasurably proud of every
man serving in the Notifications of

hearing nothing from Macarthur I
messaged him as follows:
1.-THE Presidents message appears
to leave me the decisions which I
must ultimately make unless anti
aircraft ammunition In the near
future and.food in the more distant
future are received. If I am in
correct in this assumption hope
you will so advise me. The fall of
Bataan was severe blow, but it was
inevitable sooner or later in view of
the effectiveness of the enemy block
ade. With men In full health and
vigor we could have held the enemy
as we have previously.
II succeeded in withdrawing about
1000 military personnel and am now
determined to hold my present po-
sition with Gods help until major
diversion by you in some other area
reduces the pressure on us here.
Although my morale and that of my
troops is still high in spite of ad-
versity, word of cheer and en-
couragement from you would be well
coined by all. Sincerely"
Macarthur replied with one Of his
inspiring messages. Regarding the
delay in forwarding Mr. Roosevelt S
message, Macarthur said, Il am
sorry" In respect to our beleaguer-
ed position on The Rock, he said.
do your best"
On April Is, 1912. a short and
Furnishing week after the fall of
Bataan, the enemy landed in force
at Iloilo on Panay and massed for
an all-out offensive against Min
danao. I dispatched this informa-
tion to Macarthur and asked that
he order the half a dozen BIS
bombers stationed at Mindanao to
attack the concentration of enemy
shipping-sitting like ducks, now, in
those and other Philippine waters.
Planes Lacked Gas.
He replied on April Is that these
planes had only limited supply of
gas. but that he would do what he
could. But once again he was tragi-
cally eramped by lack of supply,

But in those first days of the

brought about the humiliating de-
feat on Luzon.

before to serve as running guard

8 and raided Davao and Nichols
Field, near Manila. the next day.
There were only a dozen of them,
led by Brig. Gen. Ralph Royce. Only
three or four of them, minus fighter
protection, of course, raided Nichols
The planes returned to Mindanao
after the raids, tanked up and re-
turned TO Australia. where they re-
ported good bombing results.
1--WE gave them hell" we heard
the San Francisco radio quote Gen
Royce.
We hoped they had, and wished
many times after that, that they
would return. But they never came
back.
Mr.. Rooseyelt's message to me, in
the last hours of Bataan, had beer

w ITIEN three men held up the occupants
N/ of a station wagon in midtown New York
w in that darkest hour that just preceded
a recent dawn and drove away with S5,000 they
gave curious public an inkling of how lucrative
a business has been built up by Broadway's night
life concessionaires.
The robbery would have created only the most
minute ripple in the news interest of large city
if il hadn't called attention to the fact that the
years gross for just one contractor in this tip
collecting industry S2,500OOO-a sum un-
sneezed at in the realms Of big business.
1t focused attention on a lot of other things
too-among them the likelihood that the pretty
little girl who takes in hundreds of dollars each
week by passing out dmpled smiles with checked
hats gets only $25 a week for herself 1t even
reminded unobservant patrons that the crisply
starched uniform she wears has no, pockets
and for very obvious reason!
The three suitcases taken by the holdup men
were filled with nckels, dimes, quarters, half
dollars and dollar bills, representing the nights
receipts at 20 clubs and restaurants in which one
concern had the concession for the check rooms,
rest rooms and cigarette doll and flower sales
Generous diners and dancers had contributed
the silver hoard in just few hours, and it didn't
include the even more lavish cumshaw they had
bestowed on walters This a week night,

from stabling straw katics.
This bakshish business has set up many an
astute Broadway Concessionaire in much more
substantial endeavors Nickels, dimes and quar-
ters enabled Abraham Ellis, whom Broadway calls
the "hat.check king" 10 purchase the ornate
Manhattan Opera House for S7500O0-and then
spend 100000 10 ren0vate 1t.
The few two-bit nest eggs in the hatcheck
girls inviting receptacle-and the other quarters
that they manage to inveigle alongside them
have made it possible for Check.king Ellis to
buy the Steel Pier in Atlantic City and the Essex
House. leading hotel in Newark, ~ j.
1t is fabulous business. especially in these
DAYS when an entertainment hungry nation Law
ishes its money on the Broadways Of America
And among those reaping the richest harvest,
mostly in silver pieces you never miss, is the
check room cOncessionaire.
These big businessmen pay seemingly fabulous
prices for the privilege of checking your hat,
selling you cigarettes, flowers or souvenirs TAX
ing your picture, or providing you with soap
and towel in the retiring rooms.
AS much as $4,000 for one year has been paid
by concessionaires TO night club owners. Ere
quently this sum enables the club impresaro to
pay for his entire show even before he opens.

age, and the chances FOR success,
The -eoncessionaire- -Showwise
and clIbwise. He has pretty good
idea of what the public will accept and what they
will stay away from in large numbers. To an ex
tent, his business is gamble. He pays his rental
for one year in advance. If business IS bad, the
club can close in a month or less-and the con-
cessionaires money is irretrevably gone.
A concessionaire recently paid S25,OOO for q
checking privileges at night club That
little less than $500 week. In addition, he hires
four check-room girls at S25 per week each a
manager al $50 a week, two restroom attendants
at S25 a week EACH two cigarette girls at the
same salary, girl photographer at $40 week
and photo developer and printer at SO a week
His overhead, before he has taken in solitary
quarter runs close to 81 900 a week! This doesn't
include the cost OF the cigarettes, dolls flowers
and souvenirs his girls SELL or the materials
used in taking your pictures.
He has to take in 1000 quarters zach week
before he sees any profit.
And yet, in this particular night club, which
happened 10 be quite successful the conceSslonare
pot his S256e6 plus back in three months, with
the other nine months OF the year devoted to the
collection of profits
While the concessionaires viii not talk about
profits or occasional losses, II is not difficult TO
believe that this particular club netted profit
of close TO 100000 for the year!
That, of course, is considerably higher than
average but on the other hand there are lot
more than 1000 night clubs and fancy restau-
rants in these United States. Figuring ii all up,
some of those most interested in the situation
have estimated that checking concessions and
allied privileges bring in S100,0O0,000 year
and they insist that is very conservative figure.
\/ERY little of this magnificent NICOLA goes to
the people who are responsible for dredging IL
from the Customers-to the gal with the smile
or the little man who hands you towel in the
wash room.
A hatchcck girl starts at salary or S25
week in most places, and increases come rather
slowly unless she happens 10 be one OF those
irresistible little tdbits for whom tired business
men just can't help emptying their pockets.
Her own pocketless garb is inspired by the
concessionares conviction that the easiest way
TO keep a girl out of trouble is to keep her oSA
of temptation. I"
Even with this precaution the concessonahe
still has his doubts about the unstckiPess OF
silver, and if you look more closely, you may see
a Sharp-eycd man woman in the check room,
seemingly with nothing TO do, but who is actually

population will be greater.
more people than ever will
have disqualification insurance,
and the fear of going to a hos
pital will continue to diminish.
1t is evident that a vast ex-
pansion program will be neces-
ary. We will probably be able
to use twice the hospital space
that is available today.
And everything should be done
to encourage such a program. For
there is no doubt that greater use
of hospitals, quicker attention to
needed operations, and even hos
pital health check-ups will make
us healthier people. For the few
people who may take advantage of
their disqualification insurance, mil
lions will be kept in better physi-
cal condition by having the finan-
cial burden of hospital service
eliminated.
The hospitals, too, should be in
a more secure financial position
than ever before as a result of this
insurance. Every hospital handles
some charity" cases, but as the
number of people holding this new
type Of insurance increases, more
and more are able to pay their own
way!

HOSPITALS

In practically every part of the
country, the hospitals are full to
the hilt-and many sick people, un-
able to get Accommodations, are
patiently waiting their turn for a
hospital bed.
Until the war started, it was be-
lieved that our country was ex-
tremely well-equipped with hospital
facilities. We had a total of almost
$500 registered hospitals with a
capacity of about 100000 pa
tients. If the average visit to a
hospital is 10 days, that would
mean that the hospitals during a
year, could handle about so, ,00O, 900
cases. That would seem to be more
than-ample and it was until the
last few years.
But suddenly, for some not
too apparent reason, the de-
mand for hospital space has
reached an aIl-time peak. Our
natural first-thought expIana-
ton w uld be that it is caused
by the war. But on none care
full analysis, there seems to be
no relationship between the
war and the number of civilian
cases in hospitals.
have asked a number of people,
who ought to know, how they ex-
plain the condition. Their answers
indicate that there are number
of reasons for it, but the most i'm
portant one is group hospitaliza-
tion insurance.
