Postwar Problems

once he had liked to write. He's
writing stories again and he's not
discouraged any more.
A frantic young mother and IA
ther rushed into Children's Hos
pital with their sick baby. The
doctor said the child had infantile
paralysis. The young couple turned
to the Gray Lady and asked her
to pray with them. The three of
them kneeled there on the hospital
floor and prayed for the baby's re-
covery.
A doctor at Gallinger Hospital
conflded that just seeing the wom-
en- in gray moving softly through
the hospital wards seems to have
a comforting effect on the patients.
There's no end to what Gray
Ladies are called upon to do. They
teach simple handcrafts. work in
clinics, serve as hostesses, arrange
parties, go shopping, receive visitors
and generally make the hours, that
seem SO endless when one lies in
a hospital, go faster.
1t takes lot of women in gray
to do all the little things that loom
so large to the sick. That's why
the Red Cross is now appealing for
at least 100 women to enroll at once
as Gray Ladies. The calls of the

The first person the soldier saw
as he was carried into Walter Reed
Hospital on litter was a woman in
grey. He had come a long way
by boat, by train, by ambulance
from the place where he had lost
his leg. He looked at the woman
in gray and whispered, Gee, you
smell good. You're so clean"
A frightened child shook the bars
|of his crib at Children's Hospital
and cried for his mother. A woman
in gray heard the cry, picked him
up and held him in her arms. The
child stopped crying, looked at the
gray veil cascading to the woman S
shoulders and asked in wonder, "Are
you an angel?"

1t must constantly be pumped
out and the fear has been expressed
that someday it will sink. Several
times it has sunk until it rested on
the muddy bottom of the Potomac
at the Water Gate Since then,
however, a channel has been
dredged into its berth so that any
barge moored at the gate must float
or else.
1t is kept on an even keel by
ballast, consisting of piles of bricks
stacked here and there. and &C
commodations for performers are
woefully inadequate, he said.
Attended by 2,00O,0 600.
The budget request has been
made, Mr.. Thompson pointed out,
because the concerts and other per-
formances at the Water Gate have
become increasingly popular since
they were started 10 years ago. The
park Office estimated yesterday o.
900, 600 persons have attended them.
The National Symphony Orches-
ira has presented 1877 concerts. The
San Carlo Opera Co. has given 40
performances. The list of perform
ers includes such names as Jessica
Dragonette. Kristen Flagstad, Helen
Traubel, Paul Robson. Alec Tenn
pleton, Frank Sinatra, the Don Co.'S
sack Chorus and Mischa Elman.
The stage of the new barge could
be adjusted so that a symphony by
itself would play on stage. In case
an operate orchestra were to play
for performance occupying the
stage, an orchestra pit of sufficient
dimensions would be used.
Since the money requested would
not be expendable until after July
l, 1916, it is doubtful if the new
barge could be built in time for this
summers programs.
