Ofluiitj ucu),. : Boh Babington was born on n farm in Lincoln county, North Caro lina. Ho wan tcg&rdtd a. just an ordi nary country boy, and thorn * earned little prospect of his ever achieving anything great. However, after spend ing his early youth following the us ual pursuits of farm life he drifted to the city. Later h- went to Gastonia, became the manager of the Piedmont Telephone and Telegraph Co., which operates in a number of North and South Carolina towns, including Gaff ney. He is an untiring worker, a gen ial gentleman, and has achieved dis tinction in the business world, made! lots of money, traveled around the world, and seen much of life. Some yearn ago Babington had a dream—a dream that concerned v P°«r suffering humanity—and when he awoke he prooeera d to make that dream a reality. Under the caption of ‘The Acron That Rnbingtnn Plan tot!,- The Char lotte Observer tell:, the story of Pah ington’a dream, and because we love Babinyton and nro enthused when we hear Kim talk on the subject we are herewith reproducing what The Ob server had to say: ‘ Mr. Robert 1!. Babin#ton worked six years, with the aasiaUnrc of Rhrinerti and other organisation*, bt fore he could work up interest to the srointr Doint into establishment of an institution which t; now recog nized r.s one of tfve greatest bene fice neen in the state. The North Carolina Orthopedic Hospital, at. fiaston a, fame into beiny on a small scale, but from the day it was open ed it mode demonstration of the use fulness of its mission. It was a hard struggle to yet the institution on an operative basis, but once that was eceon*nlirhfd. the balance war- easy. The hospital has not lacked friends, end Jacking these, has not lacked money. It is hut three yearn old, nnd in this short time it has Rent back, home as many ns b«. children, the majority of whom arc able to walk and run rirul play, as other chil dren, while before going (n the hos pital many of these same children did not know what it was to vear n rhoe, or place a foot to the ground, flut of the hundreds of children treated, only 20 were discharged with no improvement in their condi t'en. All ma imer of deferentives have been remedied; club feet have vno€n niudi* straight; crooked spines have been adjusted; infantile partly*-" is has been conquered; fractures re duced; joints reset and even the tongui has hern tuned. As many as 1, 2.'!4 children have been hat died at the hospital in this brief space of time. The 20 discharged as incurable were mentally defectives nml ’he treatment Went no further than the examination stage. Eighty-three of the 100 counties in the state have sent patients. In the annual report it is stated that the hospital is equip ped with modern facilities for the treatment of crippled children. Every effort is made by the workers to ob tain any possible new apparatus a id methods to further improve the seieM title work and clinical results. “Ah'.ut $225,000 has been spent in acquiring, building and equipping the present plant. The greater pnr tio.i of th:! was appropriated by the ■ tale. Some represents the gifts of friends. The Legislature of 1021 ap propriated *.'15,000 for annual main tenance, and the hospital operated a lower number of beds and a short r personnel to make thi: meet ox j pensei;. The Legislature of | appropriated a more substantial an* j final maintenance and t^io hospital I I’K- operated since with its full bed j capacity and a sufficient personnel. 'With the growth of the work at the hospital and its further exten sion throughout the state’, say? 'he • report, ‘there has gradually de veloped a greater demand for bed?, j 1 uberculor joints are chronic condi tions and often need years of insti tutional keep to effect a cure. Tlie 1 hospital heals are being more and more taken by children with this dis ease, and fewer beds arc therefore available to meet the needs of other types of patients. For the past year our waiting !■«> has been about 100 children r d we have been unable i to reduce if with our present bed j capacity, In view of this situation1 it seems that the time has new ai- I l ived to add additional wards to! uroperly handle all the canes apply inir for treatment. it is pxpectod 1 ha; the Board of Governors will ask JiHtur., af 1925 t > authorize the addition of another ward for white children and ,an annex for colored children.’ “We have stated that in the ('aider days of struggle, Bahing ton’s main reliance for help wan the Sh*iner The institution was de veloped into the particular pet of the Mesons, but meantime, other agen t ies are being enlisted, because of fpc good work being done. The Good Fel lows, the Kiwariis and otbep organ izations are active in contributing money ntid eauinment. In fact, the great c vent of the past year, as re corded in the report, was ‘a whole sale and whole-souled visit by the Almas Temple Patrol and Band of Washington, under the leadership of Potentate Harry Carey, and escorted by a delegation from Oasis Temple, of Charlotte.'

(By Ellis Hayes.) A hen is not supposed to have Much common sense or tact. Yet every time she lays an egg She cackles forth the fact. A rooster harn’t got a lot Of intellect to show, But none the less most roosters have Enough good .tense to crow. The mule, the most despised of beasts Has a peraistent way Of letting folks know he’s around By his insistent bray. The busy little bees they buzz, Bulls bellow and cows inoo, The watch dogs hark, the ganders, quack, And doves and pigeons coo. The peacock sprends his tail anil squawks, Pigs squeal, and robins sing, And even serpent know enough To hiss before they sting. But man, the greatest masterpiece That nature coud devise, Will often stop and hesitate Before he’ll advertise. Surprise Birthday Dinner. (Special to The Star.) Mr". S. J.
