I find no law authoris ing the appointment of chaplains for our hospitals; and yet the services of chaplain» are more needed, perhaps, in Die hospitals than with the healthy rldiera in the field. With this view, have given a sort of quasi-appoint- ment (a copy of which I enclose) to each of three Protestant ministers, who have accepted and entered upon the duties. If you perceive no objec tion, I will thank you to give me the name or names of one or more suit able persons of the Catholic church, to whom I may with propriety tender the same service.

Mr. GUERDON OGSBURY BURIED The funeral of Guerdon Ogsbury, 1 «-year-old son of Dr. and Mrs. C. 8. Ogshury of Lent», was held Wednesday afternoon from the A. D. Kenworthy chapel, Rev. E. A. Smith officiating. The pallbearers were: Eddie Butler, Mat Henry, Donald Updike, Charles Guianese, Floyd Ixwke and l.yle Peter son. Interment waa made in Mount Scott Park cemetery. Guerdon wax the only son of Dr. Ogsbury and haa suffered for year» with tuberculi.sia. Every medical at tention had been given the young man—sanatoria, general practionen, specialist»—but the fight waa a losing one. The medical men held out no hope for the patient's recovery. I .as I week Guerdon suddenly be came worse. He went to bed and on Christmas day passed sway. The end was peaceful, as was his life. Though he knew that he could not live, he never complained. He was keenly intcrerted in liC, particulaiMy the < ut-of-doors, where his chance for health lay. He was a chicken fancier and a radio enthusiast. He was in- tetested in mechanics of all kinds. Dr. and Mr*. Ogshury feel grateful to the friends and people of Mount Scott who were kind to them during their bereavement. As strenuously as Naw people have differed with the doctor's views on many questions, he say» he found these tame people kind to him when the great leveler of all— Death—touched his only son. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friends for their kindly expressions and serv ices performed during our recent be reavement and to expreax our sin cere appreciation for the many beau tiful floral offerings. DR. AND MRS. C. S. OGSBURY. THE RAMBLING REPORTER The Mount Scott Herald, we know, stands for right toleration, but our rambling reporter happening into ono of our restricted local causes on Sun day morning, found what seemed to be a wry up-to-date effort to bring the facts of sacred hirtory vividly be fore the people. The use of the drama for this pur pose may be a matter of taste or of opinion, but in the way it was done our reporter could not but feel that if the literal records were not ad hered to it should have been made clear what wax truth and what wax the embellishment of fiction. The same rambling reporter is glad to see many evidences that the en deavor to ascertain what the sacred scriptures, especially the new testa ment really contain is spreading among the people, especially ths young, by the front line trench work of the Sunday si-hool and by private citisens. This knowledge should be an antidote for many prevalent ills, and isms.—Contributed. May Ixwate in Lent» H. W. Vaughan, of 6128 Eighty eighth street, has a new process for removing paint from automobiles, floors and furniture. It is a very big improvement, say i Mr. Vaughn, over the old process.
