more. Incidentally. Seaborn
was a pseudonym for John c.
Synmes.
Mrs. l.. A. p: Yes, there
are many records of book

notorious of crooked book
men was the Englishman,
Thomas j. Wise, who fooled
the most sophisticated COL

often consisted Of hot water
bottles and ice bags.
In 1890. DR.. Baruch began
intensive work on the use Of
warm flowing baths in the
treatment of certain emo
tional disorders and typhoid
fever. This had been intro
duced by Winternitz in Wen
ma, but 1t took DR.. Baruch,
and two books on hypdro-
therapy, to make it popular.
At the turn of the century,
the immigrant was appointed
a full professor at Columbia
University. He was now so,
and he felt that he should de-
vote more time to the poor.
He opened the first free pub
lie bath in Rivihgton street
in New York in 1901. In a
short time, there were 100 of
these around the country.
HE WORKED HARD. Of
ten, he worked for no fee. He
talked the State of New York
into buying the mineral
springs at Saratoga. When
the springs were purchased,
DR.. Baruch returned to Eu-
rope, at his expense, and
studied the cures effected at
the famous spas. He intro
duced them in America.
This is not to say that he
was too busy to lead a family
life. On November 81, 1867,
he married Isabel Wolfe. of
Winnsboro, S. c. and as his
children grew, he found time
to impart to them his love of
man and country.

JIM BISHOP:
REPORTER


No country in the world
throws its arms open to as
many immigrants as the
United States. Millions have
funnelled through the Mar
rows in New York. OF them
all, I would select Simon
Baruch as the ideal immi-
grant.
You have heard Of his
son, and the deeds Of the
son have placed the father
in the dark cool shadow of
time. But Simon Baruch
must not be forgotten. He
had his own unique great
ness.
He was born July 20, 1910.
The place was Schwersen,
now a part of Poland. Simon
grew up wanting to be a doc
tor. He was still in high
school when he saved enough
money to leave Schwersen
for America. Like most
immigrants, he appreciated
the value Of an education
more than the native-born
Americans do.
Simon finished his me-
dical training at the Medical
College in Virginia, and
served his internship in
Charleston. He joined the
Confederate Army as an
assistant surgeon, and, for
the last three years of the
war, saw service with the
Army of Northern Virginia.
WHEN THE WAR was done,
the South was not a pros
porous place, but Simon
Baruch loved it and set his
practice up in Camden, South
Carolina. He was a foreigner.
He had an accent, but what
the people saws in DR.. Ba-
ruch's eyes was commisera-
ton and understanding. This
was a signal they could read
plainly.
He was almost Al when
he left for New York. DR..
Baruch made the move, not
because he was dissatisfied
with Camden, but because he
had new and daring medical
ideas, and, If they were to
be accepted, New York was
the place to try them.
In l888-seven years after
his arrival in the metropolis
DIR. Baruch was known as
a prominent surgeon. One of
his radical ideas was that,
in cases where appendicitis

wrote should be set in bronze
for all to see:

about our daughter, Jenni-
fer, who is II and in love

Jenny has worked for this
man as a part-time typist
for the past year. She has

T., lived Mr.. T. nearly every
waking moment. When she
Is finished talking to us
about him, she calls up her

Well, we thought it was
Just silly and laughable-un-
til Mr.. T, started respond
ing. He has gotten into the
habit of taking her out to
coffee after work. walking
her home and kissing her on
the forehead at the door.
My husband says that If
Jenny doesn't quit that job
right away he, personally, is
going to have dealings with
Mr. T.
Jennifer D.--My parents
are absolutely the limit!
You'd think I'd done some
thing awful. I've done Moth
ing. I've sworn that if my
father goes to talk to him
I'm just going to run away
from home. I can do it too
and they know it. I have
savings and I'm an expert
typist.
One of my friends told me
her parents would be glad If
she went out with a good,
solid man like Mr.. T. The
kids she goes out with and
the ones I have dated are
Just awful! Besides. we'll be
ready for marriage in an
other year or two and these
kids have at least ten years
to go.
AS for Mr.. T. having been
divorced, it's Just laugh to
hear my parents talk on that
subject! My father was di-
vorced himself. yet he threat
ems something drastic if I
bring Mr.. T. into the house.
THE COUNCILS VIEW
No, Mr.. L. D! Don't shut
the door in Mr.. T S face and
don't go doing anything
drastic" and don't try to
force Jenny to quit her job.
1t isn't the right way at all.
Instead, the L. DIS should
invite Mr.. T. in and offer him
a cup of coffee and get him
to talk.
When a l7-year-old girl
is in love and seems to be
getting some manner of re-
Spouse from a man, it is
important for the parents to
know as much as possible
about him. So far, all the
L. DIS know about him is
that he has been divorced.
And how many children must
he support? And what more
about his past?
The answers to these ques-
tons can't be obtained by a
direct or hostile approach.
The L. DIS owe it to their
daughter to treat her &C
quaintances with courtesy
and real interest. It is quite
possible that they will find
that they like Mr.. Tor
that Jenny will cool off a bit
when she sees him in an
ordinary home setting.
From the surface evidence
it would seem that this man
is rather immature. When
confronted with older people
especially pair of inter-
ested parents-he may lose
a lot of the authority of
manner that attracts Jenny.
When parental eyes give a
man a serious going-over,
the man is likely to disap-
pear if he is not serious. If
he is, the Id better get
acquainted.
