But the Good Samar itan who stopped on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho to pick up the poor man who had fallen upon evil times s an individualist. To- day many charitable organizations some what limit the amount of good which can be done by the individ- ual. But when the charitable or- ganization fails, the modern road to Jericho is indeed heavy traveling for the man who is out of luck. Joe Preston, who works with “a gang for one of the local compa- ’ calls the following facts to the attention of the Tribune. In a letter dated April 19th, he says: “In tonight’s Tribune we read ‘Man run over by auto receiving badly crushed foot. He was taken to the CITY JAIL for treatment, the County Hospital refusing to ac- cept him because he had not been here long enough.’ “No free treatment in our county to a stranger! In my gang work- ing for a local company were men wtho had been in Casper only a few s when the assessor called. y BEEN HERE LONG OUGH for poll taxes. He soaked ’em. If you're a stranger and broke, watch your steps.” Joe Preston makes a point. He stabs rather deeply into our self- esteem. Is there any logical ex- cuse for refusing medical treatment to the stranger within our gates? It may be that some authorities can explain away this refusal by the County Hospital to care for an injured man. -It may be that the hospital officials can explain it. It is quite possible tha he medical heads of the hospitg] did not know ahything about it, and that this min was turned away by underlings who should not have so acted. Pat Ryan was his name, in case any- body should investigate, and he was run over by a car said to have been dfiven by H. W. Frontz. Mr. Frontz, it appears, agreed to stand good for the bill. But the Count Hospital did not agree to take in the man and care for him. Is the “road to Jericho” in Na- tfona county so filled with “those who pass | «» the other side” that a hospital refuses medical at- tention to an injured man? pala Ne cle THE DEADLY GRADE CROSSING The recent lamentable tragedy which has shocked the city proves with terrible clarity the ever pres- ent menace of the deadly grade ckossing.

Every spring ees their numbers increase. They pack their belongings into the fam- ily flivver, hook on a trailer with a camping outfit and set out for the other end of the continent as calm- ly as they would once have driven out to grandma's, “over the ridge.” Now is their sgason. A cold March forced the most venturesome ones to stay at home longer than usual this year. But before long |their camp fires will spring up in |the cool spring dusks from one end |of the country to the other and the |clatter of their laden vehicles will break the quiet of country roads in all directio: Even the true gypsies have in many cases motorized their cara- jvans. In some instances they have been known to display as much shrewdness in trading automobiles 8 they once did in swapping horses. They drive through in cars of vari- ous degrees, their old mysterious |covered wagons left behind, their children, their dogs and their house- | hold goods piled helter skelter in some capacious tonneau. | But their amateur imitators are not*born to the road. They are ‘small town folk for the most part who never before could travel ex- tensively. They used to live those lives of narrow compass that have stirred up the novelists much, They seek the broadening influence of travel. By the time another gen- eration arrives, will it find us a nation of nomads? All over the country, towns large and small have set aside camping places for the new gypsies, with eve: comfort at little or no ex- pense. They can travel all day and be assured of quarters at night. They are glad to find these, too, for with their love of the open road they have not learned the Romar stoicism as to cleanliness and con fort. Their wandering should broaden their minds and_ better their understanding of the lives and needs and worth of their fellow countrymen.”—New York Evening Considered Vi Of course I do not Hostess |yield of winter wheat per acre was| R¢ Dull these daze, hey? os Well, Reader, by this time I realize this that the stories hear about wish anybod, ee him talk, you will not n Quick! in th The fl nd Jumps Insid MARSEILLES Broadway at 103d St. (Subway Express Station at Door) NEW-YORK CITY Near Riverside Drive Central Park, Theatres and Shopping Sections Singleroom, runnin; te water $2.50 .
