Other SnUtties are stepping forward. we have some very wide ■fpke physicians, foundation plans |*Kgmtt. advanced. A building is '■Phtly ready. These physicians have Krted long and faithfully against a f : dead sentiment, a contented indiffer ence, and even against prejudice to place a building under way and to es tablish a hospital of dimensions which could care for the sick of our coun ty. It has been their object ct all times to make it a county institution. Public funds have not begn available, but they have gone ahead with riioir plans to make it as nearly as possible a hospital to meet the broadest pub lic needs. But Stanly county is not needing the purely private institution! Such an institution may meet needs of pri vate cases that are able to pay, but the history of such hospitals show that there is not even private gain to justify a profitable investment if ; charity cases are taken in (and they always are), unless the puying pa tients are taxed with the upkeep of the non-paying debts or patients. 'Die lite J. B. Duka was a man of vision. He saw in advance of his time, and the great heart of human interest cried loudly within him for i the suffering people who get sick, pine i away, and die. That class of pa i Beats who need the best treatment at i tbs right time, instead of allowing J. . . them to become dope addicts and us ers of all sorts of nostrums and drugs under class of patent medicines, the hand of charity and fatherly concern is being extended them. The state spends a large sum for the protec tion of swine and cattle but so nearly nothing for the sick. To qualify for the Duke endow ment, it becomes necessary for the hospital so qualifying to operate with out possibility of private gain, and to be at all times under control of the county or the public. The founda tion appropriates SI.OO per day ,for each" carity bed. There is an esti mated cost per day for such beds of $1.75 additional, which is either appropriated by the county itself or apportioned between county and towns, or else one-half is borne by the county and the other half by the public. Less than SI.OO per day is involved (under either plan, and Mr. Duke's plan is so fiexible that social and civiv clubs, churches, classes, and organizations of whatever nature niay take a share in making up this cost of maintenance for thirty or more charity beds. It is not sufficient to any county that it has going private hcapital. . a.':.,; THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE This docs not come within the mean ing at all of the great plan here in volved. And only prejudice or nar rownecs itself would allow this as an argument against the larger plane of providing for charity patients on a definite scale. To be considered along with such a move is the fact that your gradu ates and established physicians seek ing new locations are not seeking places which do not have a public hospital. This is understood when it becomes known that a physician of today must, be readily equipped for all X-ray work, for making cvpert diagnosis and analyses, and an out lay of funds which in itself is nearly prohibitive make demands which the average physician is not able to en counter. A hospital on the Duke plan brings I to the use of every physician in the county or community co-operating with I the plan the very best equipment and ■ expert treatment. Furthermore, if Stanly is taken as i ; an example, our physicians are not old 1 i men as yet; but they have passed the 1 middle period of vigorous work, and! . the age average Indicates that there . muat be successors in the field at no long time hence. These points are not advanced ar gumentatively. The Tress would urge mu- people to become thoroughly in formed on the question before the Duke endowment is allowed to pass us by. Dr. Kankin will be in Albe marle some time in January to lay the matter fully before our people, and they should at least maintain open minds until he comes. Our mills, our business men, and our county officials should get at the heaft of the matter immediately and be ready to act, Radfo Play Contest Aims to Oct Bat ter programs.

Pnris, Dec. 17.—Mrs. Rudolph Valentino has filed a petition for di vorce against the moving picture star, whose real name is. Rudolfo Cuglielmi, but Valentino today seemed uptpturbed by the news that the petition had finally reached offi cials in Paris.

He dined at a fashionable hotel this evening and after that left with frienda to explore the diverting quarters of the capital.

Albemarle Pres*. There are two German leaking natives, not knowing a word ft Kng lish. engaged in the installation of ten German made machines for knitting the higher graded of full fashioned silk hosiery, at the knitting depart ment of the Wiseassett Mills. Superintendent C. W. Gaddy ex plained some of the workings of these delicate machines to a Press man, and it is nothing short ofwonderful to see just how the" man-made machine turns t'ae trick. One of the adjust ments must be correct to a three one thousamlth of an inch. If it is off more than this, bad results follow. Each machine is individually con trolled with a dual-acting motor, giv ing Sliced frein one section to a sec tion of the big knitting frame, while imparting yet another speed to a dif ferent section. The Germans erect ing the machines are master meifian ies. and it is needless to say that their lack of knowledge of our lan guage interferes with their work not in the least. Incidentally, the knitting depart ment of this mill has perhaps the heaviest installation cf this type of machinery of any mill in t'ae South, or in the United States. Contracts from this mill auppfr many of the best brands of hosiery, and much local pride would be aroused if it.were known just what standard brand); carry labels placed on by this mill. The same is true as well of the Lil lian Knitting Mills Company. The Wiseassett was one of the earliest mills to place in full fashion ing machines, sending a man to Ger many to learn the business. The son of Mr. Gaddy, young Robert, is now in Chattanooga as instructor in the Davenport hosiery mills for doing this same class of work, after Mr. John son of that place spent some four months in Albemarle.
