In 1850 Review
Health Center Seen
As Factor in Drop
To 1881 Patients

Gallinger Hospital, the Dis
trict's 1.500-bed general hospital,
continued to make progress to-
ward its goal of more and better
service to the INDECENT sick and
injured. DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger,
District Director of Public Health,
said today as he reviewed the
achievements of the past year.
Comparative data for the last
two calendar years for both GAL
linger and Upshur Street Hospital
indicate a slight drop in the
number of admissions in 1850
from 1949. Admissions during the
last IL months totaled 23,871,
which was GAL less than in 1e49,
and 1858 less than in 1948. The
average length of stay for GAL
llnger was 1874 days per patient
in both 1949 and 1850.
During the past year, there were
4,788 births at the hospital. This
was 56 less than in the preceding
year. -Four maternal deaths oc-
Cured during 1850. though there
was only one in 1949.
To Occupy New Laboratory.
The new laboratory building,
which was accepted in June,
should be ready for complete oc-
cupation early in the coming year,
and the addition of these labora-
tory facilities will be of great serv-
ice to the hospital, DR.. Seckinger
said.
The new pediatrics and crippled
children's building is nearing
completion and should be ready
for occupancy in the spring of
1851. Due to the shortage of per-
sonnel. however, it will not be
possible to staff this service until
after July l, the beginning of the
next fiscal year.
The x-ray department at the
hospital. with new equipment and
added personnel, has improved
during the year and additional
assistance has been given patients
by a cooperative arrangement
with medical schools through
which faculty members are as
signed to assist in the interpreta-
ton of x-rays.
Center Functions Smoothly.
The evening medical clinic con-
Quoted in the Southwest Health
Center as an additional function
OF the Health Department because
OF its accessibility to DISCHARGED
Galllnger patients, so that they
do not relapse and require early
rehospitalization. has been run
ming smoothly and effectively, DR..
/ lSeckinger said. This month it
completed the first full calendar
year of operation.
The total case load at the end
OF this month was GIT. All of
these INDECENT, chronically i'll
patients had been hospitalized at
Gallinger on one or more occasions
at public expense. The first rs
patients who attended the evening
clinic had all been admitted to
Gallinger two or more times within
the last few years and had spent
a total of 5000 days at the hos
pital at public expense.
An average of between 40 and
so patients are treated at each
clinic session. This clinic has
saved the District many thousands
OF dollars, DR.. Seskinger said, and
demonstrates the need for an
adequate out-patient clinic at
Gallinger.
The decreased patient load at
Galllnger this year in all prob
ability was due to the work Of
this clinic service, he said.

District Heads Select
Preliminary Plans for
New Anacostia Bridqe

The Commissioners have called
for development Of three prelim-
mary plans which would place
the proposed new Anacostia River
Bridge along the line of East
Capitol street, with western ap-
proaches on Independence avenue
and c street NE.
The plans we're selected from
several presented to the city heads
yesterday by the j. E. Greiner Co
of Baltimore. consulting engineers
j. N. Robertson. director Of
highways, said the decision to
develop particular plans did not
mean that the Commissioners were
accepting them or closing the
door to the others.
Cost Under S12 Million.
The detailed proposals expected
to be developed in about six weeks
will go back to the Commissioners,
the Bureau of Public Roads, the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission and the Fine
Arts Commission.
Mr.. Robertson said the three
plans to be worked up further
appear to be projects which would
cost under the $12 million limit
set by the act of Congress au-
thorizing a new bridge in the
vicinity of East Capitol street.
Differ in Methods.
The plans differ in the methods
of making connection with the
streets on the west side of the
bridge. They call for an under
pass of Minnesota avenue on the
east side.
Under the proposals, Indepen-
dence avenue would be one way
eastbound. and C street, one way
westbound. Use of C street, rather
than Constitution avenue as one
of the western connections, would
avoid having the approach run
between Eliot Junior High School
and Eastern High School, it was
pointed out.
Other arrangements suggested
for the bridge promised excessive
cost and inadequate provision for
traffic on the streets to the west
of the bridge, it was said.

Ralph Watkins Adds
Another "First''

Ralph Watkins of Buckeye added
another "first" to his list as he
became the first candidate to file
his petitions with the secretary Oh
state.
The valley businessman took
more than 300 petitions to the
state office bearing about 1000
signatures subject to check by
state officials.
Seeking the nomination on the
Democratic ticket, Watkins earlier
in the campaign frankly admit
ted he was superstitious about the
first.
He was first to announce his
candidacy, first to have his peti-
tionS in circultiOnS, and first to
brng issues into the campaign.
These included the need for a
state tourist bureau, state safety
code, aid to bring industry to the
state, economy in government and
primary election run-offs.
While he was filing his petitions,
Watkins delivered broadside
against other candidates who take
stands on the initiative measures
which will not be voted upon until
the general elections.
He accused such candidates with
political opportunism" for making
statements without needing their
party and their party's platform.
Certain candidates seeking the
Democratic nomination" he said,
'ihave issued statements concern
ing issues which must be decided
by the voters in the coming gen.
eral election.
"They have made thost state
ments without regard for their par
ty. They have seized an opportun-
ity to feed their own greedy polit-
ical aspirations without needing
their party and their party's plat
form"
Until the Democratic party was
set and adopted a platform to pre-
sent Arizona's votners in the gen.
eral election, no candidate can
rightly say he represents the party
through the stand he takes as an
individual on any one issue.

Backyard Harmful To
Negro and Whites,
Says Ga. Mayor

MARIETTA, Ga. = A proposed
housing project for Negroes, al
though to be located in the city's
worst" slum area, was declared
too close too whites last week
and the city zonlng board of ap-
peals refused to approve the site.
In taking this action the board
upheld a decision by the city plan
ming committee which noted that
this area was located just behind
the fashionable Cherokee street
where prominent whites lived.
The housing authority here says
it will appeal the decision to the
Cobb Superior Court. It has de-
clared this Mulberry-Cole area as
the city's worst slumS.
A $4,000 project is planned for
the area. It is to be started as
soon as it can be approved, ac-
cording to Ed Baskin, housing di-
rector. He wants to start building
this summer.
Former Mayor L. M. Blair, in
opposing the site declared: "Con-
gregating 125 Negro families in
the backyard of decent, respect
able white district would harm
both whites and Negroes.

To Speak Here

In a recent press release, Mr.
Jesse o. Thomas, public relations
consultant with the National head
quarters of the American Red
Cross, Washington, D. c., disclosed
for the first time that he would
make Phoenix one of his stops on
a swing around the West and
Southwest in the interes tof clear
er understanding among Negroes
of the policies and services of the
American Red Cross.
Mr.. Thomas, we learn, is a per-
sonal friend of Mr.. w. A. Robin
son, principal of Carver High
School, and it is probably due to
this fact that Phoenix will have a
chance to meet and hear Mr.. Thom-
as, who is not only one of the best
speakers of our group in America,
but one of the pioneers and still
one of the important persons in
the field of social work.
Phoenix will look forward with
great interest to further news OF
the visit of this well-known and
greatly admired American Social
Worker.

I never had any peace of mind
because I was always too busy
waiting for some day when
everything would be different. I

a cook and pekinese dog. Wis

including, of course, the PreSi-
dent of the United States and the
King of England.
Other times I would be con-
soled by the thoughts of a steel
cabin built on some inaccessible
pinnacle of rock where I could
enjoy solitude for the rest of my
life.
have imagined a thriving busi-
ness of my. own where I employed
a thousand people and made a
profit of ten thousand dollars a
day.
Working for a modest salary
with no responsibility involved in
the job was a cheerful antidote for
the executive position.
Many Monday fleet of new
automobiles rolled off the assemb-
ly line of my immagination only
to be replaced some Tuesday by
a faithful old mule that would
carry me away from the high
ways.
After wishing for everything on
earth, I decided I didn't want any
part of it. I realized there was
nothing in this world worth hav-
ing, for even if I could have it
all, I would still be waiting.
When I finally stopped dream
ing of that some day it arrived
of it's own accord and now I have
what I always wanted but never
had sense enough to realize it..

An Editorial
Date to Note IN
Montana History

TO MOST OF US, perhaps; May
rs is just another day, but to Mon
tanans it should be a day to remem-
Der because it was ON that date IN
1864 that Montana territory came
into existence.
The first territorial legislature met
at Bannack and it was there that
the nine counties were created, Feb.
2, 1865, namely: Beaverhead, Cho-
teau (spelling of the name was
changed to Chouteau in the legisla-
tive session in 1909, Custer, Deer
Lodge, Gallatin, Jefferson, Lewis
Clark first named Egerton, it was
changed to Lewis and Clarke in
1871. Later the "e'' was droppeO,
Madison and Missoula.
BY 1884, Meagher, Dawson, Silver
Bow and Yellowstone counties had
been created.
There were then 16 counties In
1889, the year Montana became
state. Cascade, Fergus and Park had
been created out of territory taken
from some of the already existing
counties.
The year 1919 was the banner
year for counties. Seven were
created during that year, all on
April except Roosevelt, which
was created Feb. 10. The other six
were Garfield, Glacier, McCone,
Pondera, Powder River and Treas
are.
Petroleum county was created by
resolution Feb. %, the last and the
seth, which is the number at the
present time.
A movement toward statehood
started in 1865, with the result thai
acting governor Meagher called {

Sloppy Makeup
By BRITTANY CLARKE

In recent poll conducted among
men by a national magazine, the
biggest grievance voiced about
Women's grooming faults was
...sloppy or over-done makeup"
And by far the largest number OF
men mentioned the face as being
srst attention-getter.
In looking at any feminine face,
the eye first focuses on the mouth.
You can't afford, then, to show a
mouth minus ipstick, with lipstick
worn of, with a messy, irregular
outline.
II you do, you're heading for the
Wallf1oWer group.
1t isn't necessary to sport un-
attractive lips. Remember that
today a well made-up mouth is
considered one of the social graces:
a poorly made-up mouth stamps
you as gauche. No matter how ex-
citing your personality, it can be
destroyed by failure to use lipstick
with care or to renew it as needed.
There's a most simple solution
to all this. On the market today is
a simple, inexpensive product that
protects you faithfully against
worn-off lip color. With careful,
initial application, it will keep
your lip outlines true throughout
the day.
It's L1P-LIFE, the wonderful
color base for lipstick. You simply
apply it IN the same manner as lip
stick and cover the same areas up
to the desired lip outlines. Then
apply your lipstick, being careful
