DEAR ABBY: I am an old
woman who is married to an
old man with young ideas. He
is 70 and has three women
on the string. He was to
a doctor and the doctor said
he had the constitution of a
horse. One of his sweet
hearts is the girl next door.
She is so and has no brains.
We have children and
grandchildren and I am too
old to start over. I am tired
of waiting for him to settle
down. OLD AND GRAY.
When the doctor examines
your husband again, ask him
to include his head. If your
husband Is mentally as we'll
as physically fit, then he OBJ
viously has a moral def
cheney. Nothing straightens
out an aging delinquent
faster than the suggestion Of

DR.. and Mrs. Bird would have
been married Is years this COM

wife, the former Mary Wilson,
whom he met when she was a
nurse in Baltimore, died in the

DR.. Birds second wife was
the former Jean Woolford Skin

died five years ago, and Mrs.

Her father served on the

University from 1916 until 1871.
and was president of the Board
for several years. When he re-
tired he was chief of the bureau
of chemistry in the university's

Mrs. Bird was a native of the

DR.. and Mrs. Jacob w. Bird of
Sandy Spring, died Sunday aft.
ernoon after an auto crash in
Huntsville, Ala, which also took
the lives of two persons riding
IN the car that crashed into
them.
Funeral services for the cou-

Also injured in the wreck were
the Birds son and his wife, Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob w. Bird. ir..
whom the elder Birds had been
visiting. They were hospitalized
but were not in critical condi-
ton.
The wreck claimed the life of
the man who was responsible
for the founding of the Mont.
gomery County General Hos
pital in Sandy Spring in 1920.
He was the guest of honor

of the hospital her husband
helped to found. The Board is
the largest single financial sup
port for the un-endowed hospital
which does not depend on coun-
ty, State, or Federal funds for
support.
The hospital was only a
dream in the mind of young DR..
Bird when he came to Sandy
Spring in a horse-drawn buggy
in 1909.
DR.. Bird was a stranger TO
Montgomery County, having
been born at West River, in
Anne Arundel County. He was
the son of Joseph Irving and
Elizabeth Jane Bird.
DR.. Bird was tutored a year
before entering st. Johns Col
lege, Annapolis. Two years later
he left that institution to enroll
as a medical student at the Uni
versity of Maryland in Balti-
more. He received his degree in
1907 and spent two years of in
ternship at University Hospital
before coming to Sandy Spring.
After establishing himself as
Sandy Spring community, DR..
Sandy Surfing community, DR..
Bird had more time to think
about a hospital. Finally, one
evening in April, 1918, he called
a meeting of Is leading commu-
nifty citizens at his home.
Before the evening was over,
DR.. Bird had pledges of financial
backing to build the sorely-
needed hospital. First plans to
turn the house now occupied by
Olney Inn into the hospital were
shortly abandoned in favor of
the existing site.
But then the influenza cpl
demic struck. AS many as three
died in one day, forcing the doc
tor to move into the incom-
pleted hospital to care for the
growing number of stricken res
idents. He soon was aided by DR..
Charles c. Tumbleson, long
time associate, who was to die
in 1850.
1t was in connection with the
celebration of his 50th year of
service in Sandy Spring this
summer that DR.. Bird estimated
he delivered approximately 1000
babies. This was in addition to
much of the surgery at the hos
pital which he headed as chief
of staff. DR.. Tumbleson admin
istered anesthesia and did pedi-
atric work.

dency-twice-of the Montgom-
cry County Medical Society, to
which he belonged as secretary
for 81 years.
He also served as president of
the State Medical Society in 1914
and was said to have missed
only two meetings In 81 years.
Governor Herbert O'Connor
appointed DR.. Bird as a mem
Der of the State Board of Health
in 1912 and he served for eight
years. He also served on a five
man Social Survey Commission
appointed by the then Governor
Albert c. Richie. Upshot of this
Commission was the creation

Can Nest Door Neighbor
Ciue Me a Case of TB?

right. We told her that when
one member of a family gets
sick with TB, the rest of the
family is tested promptly to see
if they have been infected. If
they have, they are treated too.
They wouldn't be likely to be
running around, a danger to
others.
We went on to explain that
although TB is infectious, it
isn't catching in quite the same
way as measles is, for instance.
You can catch measles just by
sitting next to somebody in the
bus who has measles. You can
get TB that way, but you're not
likely to. Usually, you won't get
infected with tuberculosis un.
less you've been in long, close
contact with somebody who have
TB in its active form.
But because an active case of
TB is infectious for any one
who's been around it a long
time, the doctor reports each
new case he diagnoses to the 10.
cal health department, which
sees that others who have been
exposed get the necessary tests.
So the neighbours husband and
children have undoubtedly been
checked and pronounced okay.
Finally, we told that anxious
mother that she could set her
mind completely at rest by get

Exchange Set
With Russians
For Professors

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. May
~ tArl Harvard University
ofIicials say a tentative agree
ment has been reached for an
exchange OF professors be-
tween Harvard and Leningrad
State University. Russia.
The oficials said last night
the Harvard-Eeninarad ex-
change win focus mainly on
research work. rather than
teaching.
They said II was hoped 10
begin the program next Sep
TENDER with two or three
professors and extend II later.
A Harvard delegation visited
Leningrad earlier this year and
q Leningrad delegation was at
Harvard last month.
Columbia in Plan
The New York Times said
today q similar program Is be-
ing negotiated BY Columbia
University with the Moscow
State University. and II the
negotiations are successful the
program may begin next Feb
ruary.
The Times story also said in
part:
A Columbia delegation,
headed by Prof. Schuyler Wal
lace, director Of the School Of
International Relations, visited
Moscow University last month.
A-Moscow University group is
expected in New York City
next week to complete the ne
gotiations.
While the Harvard Leningrad
exchange will focus mainly on
research work, the exchange
professors may give some lee
lures.
The Harvard group was
headed by Prof. Merle Fainsod.
The Leningrad group was
headed by the rector Of Lenin-
grad University, Academician
AlekSandr D. Aleksandrov, a
mathematician.
"A May Stress Teaching
"A source at Columbia Uni
versity indicated that q Column
bia-Moscow exchange might
place more emphasis on teach.
ing than is looked for in the
Harvard-Leningrad agreement.
This would be particularly Glue
If the outstanding scholars in
physics and oceanography at
Moscow University could be
brought to Columbia.
The exchanges now being
negotiated were originally en-
visaged in an overall Soviet
American cultural exchange
agreement concluded last year.
The cultural exchange agree
ment provided specifically for
exchange of professors between
Harvard and Leningrad and
also between Columbia and
Moscow.
A Government official said
yesterday the universities face
a problem with respect to So
cial scientists who might be
exchanged. From the Soviet
point of view, the teachings of
an American economist or his
torian are regarded as "anti-
scientific bourgeois perver-
sions," while the Marxist views
of Soviet social scientists are
regarded generally in this
country as Communist pro-
paganda."
