Officially inspected at a “preview"” pesterday, the extensive clinic facili- ties of Group Health Association, Inc., at 1328 I street n.w. were given finish- Ing touches today for opening Monday morning to treat employes in Wash- fngton of the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and its agencies. Y Tomorrow morning the clinic will be visited by Dr. Richard Cabot of Harvard University, who will make an inspection and confer with its officers and directors.

Penniman, one of the assistant general managers of the Home Owners Loan Corp, who is Ypresident of the new association, and Dr. Henry R. Brown, medical director, received a group of association mem- bers at the office yesterday, showed them through the place and explained the set-up to the press. The medical staff, it was announced, s composed of the following doctors: Raymond E. Selders, Allan E. Lee, Edmond D. Wells, R. Stephen Hulburt and M. Scandiffio. The technical staff members are Mrs. Mildred Daves Davis, Mary Frances Stuart, George E. McDuffie, Julia M. Colfelt, Helen A. Straessley, . Olive M. Williams and Miss Nellie D. * Perkins. Officers of the board of trustees of the association, in addition to Mr. Pen- niman, are R. T. Berry, secretary- treasurer; W. C. Kirkpatrick, Horace Russell, Ormond E. Loomis, Charles K. Berlin, Lawrence E. Ring, John W. Ballard, C. D. Otterson and Ivan D. Carson. The women'’s auxiliary of the asso- ciation is made up of Mrs. Elizabeth D. Glover, Mrs. Ethel Monroe, Mrs. Ann Dudley, Mrs. Marian Prince, Mrs. Helen Andrews and Mrs. Loret White. The facilities include a beautifully eppointed waiting room, already dec- orated with palms, baskets of flowers > and paintings from the W. P. A. Art Project, and a full suite of offices and treatment rooms, well equipped with scientific instruments. “Emphasis will be on preventive rather than curative medicine,” said a statement from the Federal Home Loan Bank Board made public at the inspection yesterday. “The association hopes to encourage prevention of ill- ness by periodic medical examination and by offering facilities whereby members can prevent illness from de- » veloping. “The Federal Home Loan Bank Board has indorsed the plan because the program is aimed at the improve- ment in health and efficiency of its employes. The board has granted the association $20,000 a year for two years to aid it in getting started and help provide the extensive modern equip- ment which will be used in the clinic. Tliness Losses Cited. “Reports received by executives un- der the board from officials of the Gov- > emment of the Dominion of Canada show that, through government action | there, lost time of employes through (llness has been cut. In Washington the board often has from 50 to 100 employes a day ill and unable to work, the loss running up to $500,000 a year. For that reason the board has a spe- cific interest as an employer in the health of its employes and feels that Its assistance in getting the associa- tion started financially is well worth its while and worth while for the Gov- ernment. “The cost to employes—$2.20 per month to single persons; $3.30 per month to married members and their families. “Services include medical and surgi- tal examinations, eye examinations, laboratory tests and X-ray examina- tions. Complete medical and surgical eare will be furnished and the most modern equipment has been installed In the medical headquarters. ““Members are entitled to home visi- tation by association doctors as well as consultations at the clinic. Ambu- lance facilities will be available for emergencies. ° “Hospitalization will be given in a semi-private room for a period not to exceed three weeks during a single {llness. Members desiring to otcupy a private room may do so by paying to the association the difference between the cost of a private room and $4 a day.” ‘The program is entirely voluntary, officials explained. About 1,000 persons Yout of the possible 2,000 employed by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board and its agencies here in Washington so far have become members of the new association. A member can go to an outside physician at any time for any medical advice or service, it was explained, or he may resign from the association at will. The hours of the clinic were ex- plained. Appointments will be made up to 10:30 o'clock daily. The clinic will be open to members generally witiaout appointment from 10:30 a.m. to 1 pm. and from 3 pm. to 6 p.m. ™aily. On two evenings, Tuesday and Friday, it will be open until 7:30 p.m. MILLINERY and HAT BLOCKERS BACHRACH 733 11th St. N. W.

Malin Craig’s Mustache Disappears in Duel of Poesy Chief of Staff Accuses Secretary W ood- ring of Envy in Answer to His Poetic Barb. By the Assoclated Press. This is the tale of the general's mustache—how it grew, then suddenly disappeared amid chuckles of the gen- eral staff. 3 It features a supposed duel of posey between these principal characters: Gen. Malin Craig, the Army's chief of staff and owner of the mustache. Secretary ~f War Woodring, who was said to be envious of the adorn- ment on Craig's upper lip. The story begins when the general— hitherto clean shaven—returned from a recent holiday wearing what the feature writers call a hirsute appen- dage. So startling was the change that junior officers risked harsh dis- ciplinary measures by smiling openly at him. In tHe privacy of his own office the general fingered the closely clipped, graying bristles on his upper lip some- what doubtfully. Had he made a mis- take, he asked himself, by leaving him- self open—he the top ranking officer of the high command—to the gibes of younger officers behind his back? Then the real blow fell, with all the stunning effect of an exploding bomb. It took the form of a short, acrostic poem published in the Army and Navy Journal over the initials “H. H. W.” Few doubted that it rep- resented a flank attack by the Secre- tary of War himself. Here's what it said, under the heading “Seeking Cover"”: “‘My Lord above’ the colonel cried, As he saw the general's lip. “ Lost was the shaven outline “ It bore before his trip. Nestling below the sturdy nose, “ Concealing the mouth so firm, FResred a bristly looking brush, A net for the wandering germ. ‘If, my general, you must be rash, ‘Grow whiskers along with the mus- tache.” The general experrenced all the pangs of salt in his wounds when he line spelled out the name “Malin Craig.” without the mustache. By this time, it would have taken more nerve than the average officer cared to display found that the first letters of each | Next day he appeared at his desk | to make any comment on the generai’s sudden reversion to form. But there was much gossip in departmental bureaus. Something like an anti-climax was reached when the next issue of the Army and Navy Journal appeared with this poetic retort, under the heading “Riposte,” and signed with the initials “M. C.” “Ho, Ho! I roared, when I saw “How envy festered in your heart, “What jealous twinges caused you pain, “Oh, how darts! “Odd, that on your lip you cannot grow “Downy hair like that in solitude, “Roughing on a trip, I grew— “I bloomed to pulchritude. “Naught would I do to cause our clash, “Gone, therefore, is my fine mustache.” The first letters of each line like- wise spelled out the name of the man to whom the reply was addressed— “H. H. Woodring.” But, sorrowfully, the general's friends realized that, by shaving, he had retreated when victory was within his grasp. - LAWYERS’ BRIEFS COMMERCIAL PRIRTING ADVERTISING SERVICE BYRON S.
