FORME D.THEI P- BABIES SkULLSTDlHE SHAPE OF'FLATHEADS CASE OF MISS GRAY B, JANE OSBORN (© by MoJlurt Newspaper syndicate.) (WNU Service) T.Y SPITE of his twenty-eight years, Doctor Morley looked very young; in spite of his youthful appearance nml the fact that he had been prac ticing medicine only two or three years, he was one of the busiest and best-liked doctors in Tilden. One of the older doctors had suggested in all seriousness that he raise a mous tache. That would make him look older and more professional. Not such a had idea, thought Ted Morley, until he suggested it to Hope Gray, the girl in spotless white linen who acted ks general assistant in Ids. ofiice. Hope pursed her lips, looked critical ly at Ted’s smooth face and said she liked him better as lie was. That set tled tlie matter. The only time that Ted really felt the need of an appearance of greater age was when he was acting as chair man of the committee of student nurses at the Tilden hospital. The fact was, lie 'was somewhat in awe of Miss Drury, the middle-aged ma tron of the hospital, and on leaving the hospital after visiting his patients there, he had a strong impulse, to hurry past her private ofiice without giving her an opportunity to confer with him. One summer’s day he was making— or trying to make—one of Ids hasty exits from tile hospital when Miss Drury pounced upon him. “Sorry to detain you,” she said, ac cusingly. “But there’s the case of Miss Gray. It was six months ago the matter was first presented and we have done nothing about it. It would be quite out of order for me to go ahead with the matter myself. A new class will he coming in next month— we really ought to let her know.” “To be sure.” ssjid Ted Morley, and said something about having intended to get in touch with the girl, and something more about having been ex tremely busy. “You see she applied for appoint ment in the training school. She has no high-school diploma—and in such cases candidates have to satisfy the chairman of the committee of their educational fitness. I would suggest that you send for the girl and have her go to your office where you can make whatever Inquiries you want. She lives somewhere in the country— a copy of tiie letter is included in this memo.” A few more remarks and Ted Morley managed to get started. Dis agreeable business that. He thrust i lie letter in his pocket, hurried to !is car and back by the shortest way d his office. He was especially anx ious to arrive before Hope left for the day. If he had the courage, he wanted to asked Hope to marry him. He was quite equal to the ordeal be fore Miss Drury nabbed hint—now he felt timid. 'Somehow his courage came back as he entered his ofiice and saw Hope sitting there at t his desk with her pretty fair head bent over one of his medical magazines. They sat opposite each other with the broad flat desk between them and Ted took the telephone receiver from its hook so there might be no inter ruption in the Important business he had before him. Then leaning over his desk and looking eagerly into her fair young face he told her he wanted to marry her. He waited—half expecting Hope would present a final rejection then and there. Instead, looking rather confused, she told him that It was rather rash for him to propose mar riage to a girl of whom he knew noth ing. “I’m not even a nurse,” she said. “They didn’t think I knew enough— they wouldn’t have me—” “But after what I have seen of some nurses," said Ted, “I’m glad you nev er took hospital training. Then you really did want to go into training?” “Ever since I was a little girl that had been my ambition,” said Hope. “You see my mother was dead—and father had quite a bit of money. I never spoke of that before. I said I lived on a farm—so T do, in a way. Father calls it an estate—but I go and come in the bus. Well, I never went to high school, just somehow man aged to get a smatter here and there from governesses and tutors. I got father to consent to my taking the hospital training—but apparently they didn’t want me—so I saw your adver tisement—and you know the rest. I thought maybe I had better tell you about it—because—” “Because then I would understand why you didn’t want to marry me?” Hope put her two hands across the iesk and clasped one of Ted’s. ‘Of •ourse I want to marry you—how •ould I help it?” It was not until late that night that ’ed remembered the memorandum roin Miss Dniry that he had thrust n his pocket. He glanced quickly hrough the letter written six months igo and at the end he saw the sig- uiture, “Hope Gray” Hope arrived betimes the next uorning—had insisted on working un- 11 Ted found another helper. Ted •showed her the letter. “It was all my fault you didn’t get an appointment,” lie said. “They would be glad to take you—I am sure. Perhaps if you knew that—it would make a difference, Hope—” But what Hope said made Ted feel sure she would rather marry him than train in any hospital. 3,000,000 FAMILIES, HELPED DY RED OIOSS Distress in All Areas Met by/ Giving Food, Clothing and Other Aid. More than 3.000.000 families through^ out the nation were given relief of» various types by the American. Red‘ Cross in the past winter, to aid them, in their distress caused by unemploy* ment, disaster or other misfortune. A major relief task, due to unenh ployment and other unusual conditions- in the bituminous mining counties in twenty states, was met by the Red Cross chapters alone, or participating with other agencies. In these 143 coun ties, the Red Cross aided 90.000 fami* lies through giving groceries, school lunches, clothing, flour and other ne cessities to combat privation. Flour, milled from government wheat turned over to the Red Cross by Con gress, was given to 15,000.000 persons in the period from March 8 to June 30. the close of the fiscal year. Flour will continue to be given through the win ter of 1932-33. and Red Cross chapters also will give cotton clothing, made from government cotton turned over to the Red Cross for distribution. “The Red Cross faces the busiest winter since the days of the World War,” Chairman John Barton Payne said. “It is organized in virtually every one of the 3.072 counties in the United States, and will co-operate with all agencies to meet distress wherever found. The flour has proved of great benefit, and the cotton clothing will be given wide distribution.” While carrying on nation-wide these unemployment and other relief meas ures. the Red Cross also was engaged in its regular peace-time activities in public health nursing, service to ex service men and their families, teach ing home hygiene, life saving and first aid. The Junior Red Cross, composed of almost 7.()(?b.000 school children, also i rallied to the support of the society’s relief efforts, and the children aided others of their age in practical ways, formed sewing and food canning classes, and were of great assistance in chapter relief work. While the wheat and cotton were given by the U. S. Government, no money was provided to pay for the necessary work entailed. The Red Cross will meet this expense of almost $500,000 from its treasury. Citizens can aid by joining as members of the local Red Cross chapter during the roll call from Armistice Day to Thanks giving Day.
