Upholds JUDGE Lows

A recent letter to The Star stated
that II Chief Judge Laws could not
live on his salary of $4,000 year, he
should resign; that there are at least
two thousand attorneys in Washington
fully capable to fill his job, and any
one OF whom would be glad to take
his place for one-half Of his salary"
This statement is false and sour
rilous. Judge Laws is one Of the most
competent men in the country. There
are few lawyers in Washington who
could take his place and certainly none
who would do it for $500 year unless

Hospital Memories
There recently appeared in The Star
a very interesting article by John Nc
Kelway about Children'S Hospital. As
part Of my nurses training was re-
ceived at Childrens Hospital in 1918,
I suffered from nostalgia after read
ing the article. I like the way Mr..
McKelway described the old building
which is now being demolished. !
am thinking Of the marble shelf, the
cathedral ceiling Of the front hall. the
lovely black-marble fireplaces. the three
flights of wide steps and shiny banis-
ters." The green ivy was climbing up
the front of the building, but at that
time it had not yet covered the arches
over the windows.
1t is true that the building had the
charm and dignity" Of a spacious
home. In my training days, tea was
served at o'clock each day in the
large front parlor. at which time the
student nurses had the privilege of
meeting the superintendent of nurses
on mutual plane.
Those were the days of 12-hour duty
-7:30 to 7:30-with studies and lee
lures after duty hours. We often felt
that we had worked so hard we
were unconscious" when 1t came to
class period, but. as recall. the grades
were not too low for most Of us.
Sometimes, on cool evenings, we
would sit on the grass in the front yard
and discuss our subjects. anatomy,
materia medica. etc. Our favorite
passwords would be the most unusual
terms which we had to learn For ex-
ample. when we passed our class mem

Charity Rockets

in the press telling of hearings held
by committee Of the New York State
Assembly. and elsewhere, bearing upon
various So-called "rackets," the pro-
moters of which conduct continuous
campaigns to mulct the public of hun
dreds of millions of dollars in the name
of charity.
We are absolutely opposed to all such
racketS and hope that when these in
vestigations are concluded it will be
made clear to the public Just what
methods are being used, and what or
ganizations use them, to promote ques-
tionable or crooked schemes in this
field.
However, it should be made crystal
clear that there is great difference
between charity programs, as such, and
educational ones. Our federation, in its
nearly IA years existence, has Stunned
the charity approach, and concen-
trated upon developing, through re-
search and endless study and applica-
ton. sound and practical programs,
the results Of which have been. and will
in future be, applied to all the handi-
capped.
1t must be conceded that 80 million
physically handicapped citizens In our
midst present a tremendous economic
and social problem. and we hope the
public will continue to lend support to
those organizations which have proved
the soundness and applicability of their
work, to amelioration Of the situation
as whole.
