For if Rotary should try to use its Influence every time anything comes into the community life, then in time the peo- ple will say, ‘Oh, it is only KRotary again trying to run us.'” Cites Values of Participation. “If, on the other hand. Rotary would wait until some big issue comes up and then play its part with its full strength, the citizens would learn in time that it is only the things of importance which can interest Rotary, and that when Rotary is interested there is really something at stake.” Mr. Justice Riddell of the On- tarlo” supreme court emphasized the need of weeding out hatred and prejudice and of inculcating a spirit of reasonableness and fairness in international matters. ‘Ten district dinners and the British Empire dinner engaged the attention of hundreds of delegates last evening.

Complaints of alleged insanitary conditions at Walter Reed Hospital aroused a committee from George Washington Post of the American Legion to embark today on a four- hour tour of inspection Wwith post officials through most of the 108 acres of wards dotting the landscape, and resulted in the tabulation of the following facts, noted during the trip: First, the weather was extremely warm. Second, the committee's legs be- came somewhat fagged. Third, Walter Reed Hospital is an immense institution. Fourth, conditions at Walter Reed are excellent. The committee, which was headed by Paul V. Collins, as chairman, met with an obstacle at the very outset that started them to nodding heads to one another significantly, for they were informed by Maj. Roy T. Morris, executive officer, that committee in- spections are taboo at the hospital However, the major went on, the com- mittee members as individuals would be allowed to do all the inspecting they cared to. Start on “Little Walk.” As individuals, then, the four mem- bers of the legion's pioneer post, ac- companied by Maj. Morris, Maj. Charles M. Walson, hospital inspector, and Maj. John W. Sherwood, in charge of occupational therapy, set out on what they thought would be a little walk of investigation. Individually, the committes began its walk through sleeping wards, mess halls, kitchens, lavatories, rec- reation rooms, commissary and many other departments, and, individually, legion eyes scanned corners, closets, floors, walls, beds and other places where sanitation might be absent.

Morris, who says he is a fisher- man of long-standing renown, and the chief mess officer as to whether a batch of fich about to be put in the ovens were trout or rockfish. A viva voce vote resulted in favor of trout. As a matter of fact, the T. B. ward, where the insanitary conditions were alleged to exist in aggravated form, was the last place inspected. It was here that the charges were dispelled as unfounded, for not only did the committee, as individuals, find every- thing epic'and span, but they learned that the complainant was a chronic £rumbler, who is under investigation on a serious charge in connection with advances made to an attendant. So, foot-sore, but happy at having seen’ 8o much in such pleasant com- pany, the committee returned to the executive offices and left its re- pects for the commanding officer, ol. James D. Glennan, who was ab- sent, with their congratulations on his conduct of the hospital. It was quite an excursion. over, soon became manifest, and the cemmittee individuals gradually began to forget the original purpose of their visit as wonders of surgery, marvels of occupational therapy and peculiari- ties of various kinds of diseases were explained to them by the enthusi- astic officers. The first determination to strike out on a straight course to particular sources of complaint in ward 52, for tubercular patients, lost ground in the scuffle to see more wonders as of- ficlals unfolded them on either side, and much time was consumed in watching patients make basketry, weave rugs, hammer out jewelry and build furniture, or taking a peep in operating rooms, watching patients take whirlpool baths, or talking with men whose faces have been made over by plastic surgery.

Learning of 3118 14th street to show cause Friday whv she should not be supplanted in the guardianship of her daughter, Dorothy C. Learning, seventeen years old, a third-year stu- dent at Central High School.

The girl tells the court that her father died in 1917, and that since the mother has lived ‘'with her mar- ried daughter, from whose Lme she ow has been excluded because of “bad temper and fault finding.” The plaintiff wants Mrs. Dahl named as guardian.
