Roosevelt, who had been severely disabled in 1921 by infantile paralysis, learned of a young man, also a victim of “polio,” who had spent three’ successive summers bathing in the warm water pools of Warm Springs. ’This young man, practically helpless, had been heipdd each day into the pool. Re quickly found that he could move his limlw in the water and by per sistent effort and eftefcise so increased their strength that at the end of the third summer he was able to walk once more wHh the aid of a cane. Mr. Roosevelt went to Warm Springs in the spring of 1925 and spent several weeks, exer cising arid swimming in the pools. He was so impressed with the improvement of their pa tients, as well as his own, that he decided in 1926 to conduct some experimental work. Twenty-three patient were placed under ob^vation for periods of five to seventeen weeks. All made improvement, some to remarkable degrees. At the close of the season a de tailed report of each case was made to three prominent ortho pedic surgeons. Each expressed unqualified approval and con curred in the establishment of a Hydro-therapeutic Center at Warm Springs. On July 28. 1927, the Warm Springs Foundation, backed by a number of prominent and pub lic spirited men, was incorporat ed to be developed and adminis tered without personal gain or profit. The policy of the trustees has develor^ Warm Springs as an orthopedic center. This develop ment brought about a position of leadership, which, under the di rection of the president, is now. ready to co-ordinate all of the many individual efforts in the fight against infantile paralysis into a national crusade. The endowment fund, made possible by the citizens of the country, will enable the founda tion to carry on and intensify this leadershop. r?' Los Angeles: . . . Mrs. C. S.

Miss Huat said “no." her 42' times by word of mouth 107 times by letter, and 94 times ^ere: by cable and wireless. The last proposal was by wire less: “Again I ask you, will you be my "wife?” She replied by wireless: “Yes -to get ride of your persecution.” iMeharg puzzled over this and wasn’t quite sure how to take it.
