SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE. . It looks as if Gary is to lose the Mercy hospital which has taken care of the city Bick for the past four years. Sixty per cent of the cases at the institution are charity ones and on this basis the hospital has been a losing proposition. ' , The good sisters who came here to operate, did not expect to make the hospital a revenue producer, but they did anticipate that it would at least make expenses. Unfortunately the people of Gary have not given with the same degree that they have taken. Yesterday it was announced that unless 525,000 could be raised towards the erection of a permanent hospital the sisters, three of whom have already given up their lives in Gary, would have to withdraw from the city. This amount represents one dollar for every person in town. If possible there ought to be some way of raising the money. To lose the hospital now would be a great misfortune.
WHEN one newspaper has 350 circulation and another 12,000, nothing is too malignant or babyish for; the former to say about the latter. But

on which he had made calculations
"It costs $620 to save one soul in Indl

Denver $425,1 In Chicago $395, In New Orleans $78, in Atlanta $75. These figures, he explained, were made by tak

The Evening Chit-Ghat By RUTH CAMERON
In the town Of Biddeford, Maine,
two men and a woman were recently jailed on a very serious charge, because the two little daughters of the woman told the sheriff some startling
stories about a grave out in their yard.
Fortunately the man who was sup
posed to have been inhabiting the grave appeared In the nick of time and
proved that he had not been murdered and the accused were set free.
And now courage comrades, this is
what I am driving at the children's
father has come forward and declared
that his children got their Idea of a
grave from a story which he once told
them. To frighten them away from the swamp ad brook in which there are some deep and dangerous holes, he says he told the . children that a man and two cows were burled In that vicinity.
A rather ludicrous outcome for a
near-tragic situation?
But I don't believe that father will
try again very soon to make his children mind by making up bug-a-boos
for them, do you?
And I Just hope that some of the
fathers and mothers who read about
this woman's narrow escape from a trial will also be Impressed with the same lesson.
Not long ago an even more .terrible
tragedy than this was caused by the same trick. A woman who was crossing the Atlantic with two little
children tried to keep the baby from
crying by telling him that if he cried again she would throw him out the porthole Into the ocean. A few minutes later, while the mother was out of the stateroom, the baby cried and the other child actually carried out Us mother's threat. Of course these are unique and horrible examples of the danger of telling lies to children, to frighten them into obedience. Let's take a more commonplace one. A prominent doctor has recently written to me to ask If I will protest against using the doctor as the
bugbear to frighten children. He says he ls constantly hampered in his diagnoses of children's diseases by their unreasoning terror because they have been told that If they aren't good their mother will get the doctor to come and cut out their tongues or perform somei other "pleasant" little operation. The
result is that when they are really sick and the doctor is sent for they run
screaming away at sight of him and a careful diagnosis is almost impossible. That really serious results might follow from such a state of affairs any one can easily see. Every fear ls a fetter to our fullest development and our freest action. We who are older have learned this by hard experience. Then surely, we ought to try to free our children from any fears that they may naturally have instead of serving our momentary convenience by binding them with new shackles. RUTH CAMERON.
