Arlington Hospitals Embarrassing
campaign - now extended mdefi-
nitely-failed to meet is $4,000 goal
in the scheduled three weeks be-
cause a vast majority of potential
contributors in Arlington and ad-
iacent Fairfax County feel the in
stitution is not their responsibility.
This is the conclusion of cam
paign officials after study of the
reasons given for not contributing
as reported by door -to-door workers.
With about 20 per cent OF the
goal attained, the campaign was
extended last Monday-the day it
was scheduled to end. In three
weeks, less than $1,000 was collected.
Many Excuses Given.
Workers report many reasons
given by persons who would not
make donations-"The Community
Chest or the local government
ought to support the hospital" II
pay my bill, why should I be ex-
pected to pay other peoples also?"
THE hospital just had drive a
few months ago-why another so
soon?"
Other reasons are more personal,
such as complaints about the serv-
ice. visiting regulati tons, food. linens,
ETC., by former patients or visitors.
Hospital and campaign officials
feel definitely the institution is the
community's responsibility. This is
how Administrator Karl York
puts it:
THE hospital exists only to serve
the community. Except for main
tenance and operation, all funds
are turned back to the community
in service and expansion and i'm
provement of existing facilities.
Only 10 Per Cent Pay Full Cost.
Private patients who pay the full
cost of their care represent only
about 10 per cent of the population
We can't expect them to pay for the
cost of INDECENT patients. The def
cit, therefore, must be made up by
ali of the people of the community
for whom the hospital exists tc
serve"
The hospital accepts patients
without regard for ability to pay
There are a number Of patients
who can pay only portion of then
expenses or who are eligible under
certain Community Chest and well
fare programs which do not provide
for full payment.
The hospital has no other source
of income-no endowment funds, nc
contributions from the county Gov
eminent or the Community Chest
the administrator asserts.
Cites Last Drive.
Regarding the last drive fol
funds, Mr.. York declares:
Almost two years passed after
the opening of the hospital without
any drive being held although the
hospital needed funds for capital
improvements and for operating ex-
penses. We waited as long as we
could and then held the first annual
drive last September. That cam
paign was highly successful and
the $4,000 goal was oversubscribed
by about $4,000.
I'VE found that holding a drive
in September conflicted with other
campaigns for funds and May
seemed to be the time of least con-
fiict. We decided to hold all fu-
ture drives in May"
Funds collected last year have
paid for q number Of improvements,
including q new filing system, paint

workers looked up in surprise when
he banged down the telephone re-
ceiver and dashed out of the office.
They didn't know that Cossitt was
racing against time.
Ccssitt had been talking to his
wife. She had called from home to
say "Good-by, darling, I love you. p"
Then he heard thump as if her
body had fallen to the floor.
C"ssitt, who works for the U. S.

mobile and drove home in break
neck speed.
The door was locked. He rang
the bell. He shouted.
Then he broke down the door.
Cossitt found his attractive 38-year.
old wife slumped beside the tele-
phone, wearing her white satin

There was a note still clutched in
her hand
Dear Floyd, I've always loved
you better than life ITSELF" the
letter said, $50 please don't think
too harshly of me.
Darling, it won't be necessary
for you to see a lawyer now. To me
anything would be better than that
Without you l wouldn't be worth
anything, anyway.
I've loved the children, and I've
tried to make a home for them, but
apparently I've failed, and l don t
like failures.
All my love, Sally"
Cossitt didn't read the letter until
the police had arrived First he had
called for medical help. The doctor
summoned the police.
Cossitt said they had quarreled.
1t wasn't as serious as his wife had
thought, he said
Physicians told Cossitt that his
wife had died of an overdose of

Veteran Risks Ills Life to

Years ago IAN old hound dog
saved Wells from drowning and he

mountainside by workers who once

Two friends lowered a rope and
the dog was pulled to safety. Wells

reached the top he exhibited deep
cuts in his feet. He had removed
his shoes to make the descent.

Many Thousands Of New
Businesses Flourishing

IN EVERY home town, in every
village and hamlet in the country
and out along the highways, new
small businesses are springing up
like mushrooms, almost sprouting
overnight.
The department of commerce in a
recent report shows that for the
first six months of 1915 new business
enterprises numbered 1855, 1000, and
indications pointed to total of 687,-
200 new small firms for the year.
At the same time, the report showed
that $4,000 firms closed their doors
for one reason or another during the
year, and that although this number
is stable, it was less than half the
mortality rate in 1910 and only about
third of the number closing in
1912.
The commerce department says
that at the end of 1916 there was a
total of 3,733,00O business firms in
operation, or some 500, 900 more than
at the end of 1915. Adding up the
business births and deaths since
1910, the department figures show
that the country already has over
come the more than half million
business deaths as result of
the war and there are now about 10
per cent more small enterprises do
ing business than in the preWar rec
ord year of 1910.
This unprecedented growth in
small business, particularly with re-
lation to the service firms, has been
accomplished despite the high NOR
tality rate for small business and in
the face of rising markets, rising
prices. high taxes and unstable Ia
Dor conditions and in the midst of a
period of more or less definite in
f1ation.
According to prewar standards.
there are many more service firms
in business than ever before. This
is due, no doubt, to the backlog of
needs which was piled up during
war years.

Tung Oil Industry Shows
Rapid Development in U. S.

Tung oil, or China wood oil, un-
surpassed as a fast-drying and
water-proofng ingredient for paints,
streams in record volume from
pressing mills near tung groves in
the gulf coast states, notes the Ma
tional Geographic society. The oil
is squeezed from kernels of the
tung nut, originally the fruit of Chi
mas national tree, native. Of the
Yangtze river basin. OF the 81 prin-
cipal American crops listed in the
department of agriculture 1916
annual summary. the tung nut
shows the fastest current expansion.
The domestic harvest, less than
one ton in 1924, climbed to 6.2O0
tons in 1943 and 47,300 tons in 1916.
From the 1916 crop of nuts, about
1000 tons of oil could be extracted.
That is about one-tenth of imports
from China in some prewar years,
and an estimated one-thirtieth OF the
amount the American paint industry
could readily use in 1947.
Before World War II, the brilliant
ly poisoning wild tung trees OF the
well-drained Yangtze basin slopes
between Hankow and Ichang were
the source of as much as 100000
tons of tung oil a year. Although
half or more of the output was
shipped to the United States. the
supply was less than the demand.

Profits Satisfactory

Despite the shortages in consumer
goods in many lines and the high
prices, the department report in
dicates that profits of small bust
ness have been good. The Fed
era1 Reserve board estimates that
earnings of durable goods manufac-
turers with assets under $3.50 900
was Is per cent of net worth in 1910
and 10 per cent of net worth in 1945,
and while no figures are available
for 1916 there is every indication
that it was profitable year.
During these past three years,
since 1943, small business has bro
ken all records in the mortality field,
with the lowest number of failures
on record. Dun and Bradstreet lists
only 80 business failures among
commercial and industrial firms
for 1915; only 1922 for 1914, and
3,22l for 1e43, as compared to 1868
in 1910 and 14,768 in 1889.
The return of millions of veterans,
the provision for veterans loans un-
der the GI. bill and the tremen-
dously high national income, plus
the business backlog of purchasing
power and consumer demand due
to the war, are all factors in this
new high business census.
Economists, however, do not see
a continuation of universal profits
indefinitely for all business due to
more competition and the growth of
a buyers instead of a sellers mar.

imitation could wreck all hopes for
continued prosperity.

Too Many Laundries

The fields of laundries, barber

now on the overcrowded list. The
only field where new businesses are
not up to prewar levels is in the

Another popular area of enterprise
is in the construction business. Ac-
cording to the commerce report,
there have been started approx
mately $4,000 new construction firms
to help meet the demand for new
homes and other buildings.
Throughout the country there are
huge signs reading that construction

construction being lack of lun-
Der and other building material sup
plies.

There also is room for more filing
stations, using the prewar number
as criterion. Thousands of rural
filing stations closed their doors
due to the gas rationing, the draft
and other factors during the war
and many of them have not as yet
reopened. But everywhere, even out
along the highways, new appliance
stores are opening along with home
furnishing stores. The backlog in
these lines is tremendous.
