scores and scores of calls knowing
they would never get, anything for
it, but a sick tot couldn’t be made
to bear the burden of economic
conditions. As a rule they arp a
gruff lot. these doctors, but ihat’s
due to the fact that they see more
of the seamy side of life than any
one else and they never get the
right amount of sleep and the regu

heart, they're regular fellows , .
Speaking of doctors, Dr. Dwight
Bridges, the newly wed, is now one
up on a fellow physician. They were
operated on for appendicitis about

operation together, and have done
