The veteran In bed Is smiled.
That alone made the hospital
ward show a huge. success, because
bed Is was a hopeless case. Lying
there with cancer gnawing at his
chest and arms, he would never get
UP again. And he seemed to know
it. For solid month his dull face
had never changed expression.
But, as he watched the juggler
at one end Of the cramped ward,
he seemed to be lifted out of himself
for the first time. Gradually his fea-
lures relaxed. and soon his ward
mates noticed the man in bed Is was
smiling.
A minor incident. But 1t typides
the response of many hospitalized
servicemen, bitter, detected and
morose, to the Acknowledgment
visits Of entertainers from the world
outside.
Others Get a Lift.
But it's not only the hopelessly
bedridden cases who get a needed
lift from hospital shows. The con-
valescents who will soon be released
find wholesome recreation, gaiety
and a relief from loneliness.
Corpl. Tom w. Wilson of Walter
Reed Hospital sums it up this way:
Everybody out here likes the
shows. Even the guys who can walk
around always take in the big
shows over in the recreation room.
And the setbacks-the poor guys
who are going to be here for years
they just can't lie there and rot.
The shows give them something to
look forward to, something to talk
about besides food and this lousy
Washington weather"
Cheerful Corpl. Wilson neglected
to say that he himself would prob
ably be around for a long time-he
lost his right leg above the knee
and the best part Of his left hand
in the Ruhr pocket, and he now is
undergoing bone gratis on his re-
naming leg.
Shows Entertain 100000.
During the past four and half
years, many of the shows seen by
Tom Wilson and his mates have
been staged by Volunteer Camp
Shows, founded late in 1912 under
the auspices of the District Recrea-
ton Committee in answer to a flood
of entertainment requests.
During the next SO months the
committee turned in an imposing
record of 5000 performances by 900
entertainers before an estimated g.
100000 servicemen.
Volunteer talent was recruited
from all sides. Public additions
were held once a month. Shows
ranging from a single performer to
20-act variety job were organized
and sent out.
The District Red Cross has
credited the committee with filling
so per cent of the entertainment
needs of hospitals and camps in this
area,s while both Army and Navy
have officially expressed their ap-
probation.

end of 1916, volunteer camp shows

firm the meeting, but Mr.. Feinsinger

cent hourly increase should be retro
active to June / or February l.
The ILWU said its leaders had
recommended to its 350-member
Territorial Committee that the un-
ions powerful sugar and longshore
branches give full support to the
pineapple strike. The meeting broke
UP late last night without decision
and was scheduled to be resumed
today.
The union said committee mem
bers, called to Honolulu from all
the islands, would march IN picket
lines before reconvening.
Acting Gov. Oren E. Long sent
an investigator to Lanai, small
island where an employers coun-
Gil reported $50 strikers had pre-
vented the loading of pineapple
barge. The council asserted that
six policemen had been unable tt
subdue a milling dockside crowc
which allegedly forced into the watel
