When this handsome, prema-

resolved to campaign with the
help of only the little people. :"
She discouraged large contri-
buttons, announcing that heavy
financial contribution from rich
or powerful individual might sub

ence her vote. Only one contri-
button was as large as $3.50. Most
were of the 81 to $40 denomina-
ton.

Consequently, Office space was q
problem.

Lacking a candidates name or

was to elect delegates favorable
to Senator Taft or Gen. Eisen-

Ohio Senator.
Offsetting this, however, is the
fact that nearly all of the dele
gates are friendly to Gov. Nc
Keldin who is expected to get the

tinued as a Government witness.
Mr.. BudenZ linked three of the

lets which were read in part at

AS the Communist writings were
introduced, Mr.. McTernan argued
that the excerpts cited by Govern

not give a fair picture of the
works. Judge Edward j. Dimock
permitted Mr.. McTernan to add
to some Of the excerpts.
Government and defense coun-
sci argued over the meaning of
the word revolutionary" in the
writings. Judge Dimock said the
word might have two principal
interpretations-"one benign and
the other malignant" He sug-
gested that the opposing counsel

House Vote Advance,
Action 10 Construct
Big Hospital Center
By Wallace {. CIoyton

A long-range hospital construc-
ton program. which would in
crease hospital facilities here by
more than 500 beds. was being
pushed by officials of more than
half the Districts private hospi-
tails today.
Impetus to the planning came
with the rapid approval by the
House yesterday of bill extend
ing for five years the life of the
Hospital Center Act. The act,
which authorizes a $22 million
hospital center, contains an
amendment under which private
hospitals not joining the center
could draw from the Government
so per cent of the funds needed
for construction. The extension is
up for Senate action tomorrow.
The center, planned as a 1000
bed hospital on the Soldiers Home
grounds. will incorporate the pres
Ient facilities of Emergency, Gar
field and Episcopal Hospitals.
Construction Picture Now.
Here's the hospital construction
picture as Of now:
/. Ground-breaking for the
seven-story, long-delayed center
will not start for some time. But
government architects are draw
ing up plans. and the vast amount
of legal work necessary before
contracts can be let is nearly
completed.
2. Applications for grant-in-aid
funds have been made to the
General Services Administration
by Providence. Sibley. Casualty
and Children's Hospitals. A fifth
application is expected any day
from National Homeopathic Hos
'pital.
500 Federal Aid.
Although Deputy Public Build
ings Commissioner Harry Hunter
refused to divulge the amount OF
matching funds asked by the
participating hospitals, these are
their construction plans. In nearly
all cases, the hospitals must get
the full so per cent in Federal aid
in order to proceed with con-
Struction.
Providence has completed its
plans for a 81 million, 350-bed
hospital at Twelfth and Varnum
streets NE. officials new are try
ing to raise 81 million from the
general public. The other $2.5
million in private funds needed
will be raised by the Sisters OF
Charity, operators of the hospital.
Sibley is planning complete
new hospital to cost between IS
million and ST million. Plans and
location are now under active dis
cussion by hospital officials.
Addition to Casualty.
Casualty has approved plans for
an addition which will replace the
hospitals oldest wing. The hospi-
tai already has it's share of the
SIS million to 81 million neces-
sary. Officials. who had hoped to
have construction under way by
now, plan to start this summer
Children's has nearly completed
a $3.2 million building which will
provide enlarged clinic space and
contain beds now in the Oldest
part of the over-crowded main
building. An allotment of $685.
600 will be asked under the
Hospital Center Act.
I Homeopathic Hospital wants te
build a $500.000 addition. anc
planning discussions have beer
underway some time.
On completion of this construc-
ltion, the District would pick ur
300 beds in the center, nearly 10C
beds at Sibley, IS beds at Provi-
Idence, so beds at Casualty and s.
beds at Homeopathic. The Chill
dren's addition will not provide
for any more beds, than in the
hospital now.
This increase in facilities would

Consider His Needs

! I am on the boys side. When
educational authorities ignore the
needs of such boys and girls and
insist upon a compulsory educa-
ton law without the education,
the boy, or girl, must try to help
himself. 1t is cruel to make a boy,
or girl, sit in a room where he can
have no part in what goes on
there, mark him as a failure, ex-
pose him to the ridicule of class
mates and the irritation of a
teacher. When the school offers a
child nothing of what he can take,
it should be willing to release him
so he can get out and find what
he can do in q place where he
fits.
A system that compels a child
to attend school but which fails
to educate every child it compels,
is a failure, a dishonorable failure,
because it shirks acceptance of a
clear duty.
Acceptance of facts Is essential
to any workable plan. Parents
have to accept the kind of child
they have. Children must accept
their gifts and their handicaps.
True enough. But boards of edu-
cation must do their share of &C
|cepting the facts and offer, equip,
staff schools that can accept all
children and give them the edu-
cation they can accept. Other
wise, the unusual child must run
awaV.

I will appreciate all the discus

sibly get for my problem. I have
two children and just never seem
to have quite enough free time
for them and for myself, so this
summer after we move to our new
house am planning to have
household help one day week.
First of all, will this give me any
real leisure the rest of the week?
When do you readers find is the
best time of week to have your
help. in the beginning or the end?
And what chores do you think are
best to have done on this day and
how much can one expect to have
accomplished? Answers to these
questions and any others you
think Of may help me.
In reply to Mrs. ]. M. c.. Silver
Spring: I think that handworked

tainly would appreciate such a
gift. but perhaps other people
wouldn't. I should imagine you
could decide by your friends per-
sonalities and ideas which of them
would or wouldn't appreciate such
"a gift. The reason for not seeing
these as often as we used to, I
imagine, is because so many
women work outside of the home
and have less time for making
these things.

Although the child may be
expected to act younger than his
age at the beginning of his illness,
he should be helped to return to

this is feasible, by encouraging
him to take increasing RESPONSE

the mother will usually throw her.

The time and attention that the
mother gives the child and her

From A. T.. Washington

IRON A. T., Washington
To whiten a kitchen sink which
has turned yellow or is stained,
line the porcelain sink basin with
paper toweling. Pour chlorine
bleach in full strength onto the
towels. They will become sat
urated and absorb the bleach and
keep it in contact with the basin.
After about 80 minutes take out
towels and rinse basin with warm
or hot water Your kitchen sink
will sparkle and be white again.
To remove discoloration inside
teapot or coffee pot, let a solution
of 3 tablespoons soda and l quart
OF water stand in the pot for a
few minutes. If spots do not come
out. brush with a damp stiff brush
dipped in baking soda.
Put a small sponge under the
soap in soap dish. The sponge
will absorb most of the moisture
and the soap won't get soft and
sticky.
Good Cheese Dish: Put 6 slices
OF bread (crustS removed) in the
bottom of baking dish. Place
a slice of American cheese on
each slice of bread. Cover with
six slices of bread. Beat eggs
and add 2la cups milk and salt

In order to live with any degree

A boy of fourteen Is 5 feet
9 inches tall. cannot talk very
well and cannot read or spell. He
is taller, heavier. than any pupil

to 60 to school any more and the
reason for his feeling is clear.
Who would?
But, his mother and father,
knowing how hard it will be for
him to get along in the world
without an education, insist upon
his attending. He insists, on his
not attending. The teacher is neu-
trail while hoping the boy wins,
for she cannot do anything for
him under the conditions Of her
classroom and the curriculum.
The boy loves gardening and
does well at it. He got a job with
a truck farmer and left home.
His parents tried to make him re-
turn home and 60 back to school
and he said if they did he would
run away and this time go farther
away so they could not find him
so easily. Now what?
