I had a two-mlnute-and-a-half chat with her yesterday afternoon caught her Just aa she was getting made up for her first song. She is an English comedienne by Irish consent, she ssys because, al though she was raised in Lancashire, where her father and brothers were stationed aa soldiers, she first saw the light of day In Ireland. She has wide, lovely gray eyes, with really truly thick lashes. Black they are. and sweep her soft rosy cheeks like art Infant's. Her hslr Is bronze yellow, with a wave, not of the Ironed variety. She talks fsster than a court sten ographer could take It down and when she was all through talking. I didn't know what to pick out for the nucleus of this chat. She can't get used to the country, she says, its bigness. "When 1 first landed I asked the manager where I opened my bill? 'In Chicago.' he aald. -Ware's that?' asked I (. about iOOO miles from here.' savs he. And I nearly fell fainting. Imagine. One thousand miles would more than cross England, and here rry first Jump was over twice that. When I went from Winnipeg to Spo kane. I thought we would never get anywhere. Rut I like America so very much that I'm going to adopt It as my home and live here. Every paper 1 pick up I see where Americans go abroad and decide to stay there. I can't see what on earth they would give up such a wonderful country aa the United States Is. Why, In the four years I have been here I have made more friends, the sort of friends one keeps, than I had ever made in all my Jifo In England.

I came in contact with only a few Roosevelt or La Follette support ers, which leads me to conclude that Republicans generally are supporting the President. "There Is no doubt but that Senator IjO. Follette will break Into the Roose velt following when he visits the state. but It Is extremely doubtful if he will I estrange any of Mr. Taf t s supporters. The Taft people are standing by their guns and are becoming more enthusi astic in their support of his candidacy as the date of election approaches.

Under a system arranged by County Commissioner Lightner for the benefit of working people and persons In desti tute circumstances, an average of over 350 persons are being given free medi cal attention in Multnomah County each month, according to a report made yesterday to the County Court by Dr. E. P. Geary, county physician. For the month of March, it is shown by the report 303 persons were given medical or surgical attention In the offices of Dr. Geary and Dr. H. R. Cliff; 47 visits were made to various parts of the county to attend patients and many calls were made to the County Jail and Kelly Butte, The number of cases treated during the month was nearly 400, exclusive of the services rendered at the County Hospital and Multnomah Poor Farm. It is declared by those who have In vestigated Commissioner Lightner's system that Multnomah County Is doing more for the poor and unfortunate than any other county in the state and probably more than the majority, if not all counties in other states. Mr. Lightner asserts that this feature of the county work is highly important to the general wrelfare of the community and for that reason he says he hopes to extend the system even farther than it has already gone. System Gradually Grows. The system was inaugurated several years ago and has grown gradually to its present importance. The plan is to extend the help only to the deserv ing. Before any medical service is rendered an investigation is made as to the ability of the patient to pay. If the person Is without funds he is given close attention and cared for until he has completely recovered. In the office of Dr. Geary there are on an average 10 patients every day. Some days the number is smaller than that and some days much greater. There have been as many as Z0 patients In a single day. Dr. Geary and his as sociate. Dr. II. R. Cliff, attend to all the cases, dressing wounds, administer ing medicines and giving other kinds of treatment and medical attention. The patients, after the diagnosis of their cases and the first treatment, return from time to time for further attention and are treated the same as patrons of regular physicians. Many Outside Calls Made. In addition to the cases treated at the county physician's office, many calls are made on the outside. Where a case of sickness or Injury Is reported in the home of a destitute or poor family, at tention Is given at once and the patient Is given every attention possible. There Is an average of about two calls a day to various parts of the county, princi pally, however, in Portland. Some days Dr. Geary makes as many as a half dozen outside calls. Much attention Is also required at the County Jail and Kelly Butte. Mult nomah Farm and County Hospital. Resident physicians are kept at the County Hospital and at Multnoman Farm, but either Dr. Geary or Dr. Cliff make several trips each week to these Institutions to assist in the work. yesterday seven patients were given treatment at Kelly Butte alone. All kinds of operations are performed at the hospital and the poor farm, there being fully equipped surgical rooms at each institution and both Dr. Geary and Dr. Cliff being expert surgeons. Other physicians are called In for con sultation or to perform operations which require expert knowledge in cer tain lines. Experts Contribute Service. No chances are taken with any pa tient, no operation being maOe by any physician, but one who is an expert in his particular line. In this feature of the work other physicians of the city are doing a great deal of work free of any cost to the county or the patients. Among those who call for medical attention at the county physician's of fice in the Selling building are desti tute women, crippled destitute work ing men and children of poor families. If Immediate attention is necessary, treatment is given at once and investi gation as to ability of the patient to pay for medical services made after wards. In other cases the Investigation is made prior to the beginning of treat ment. If a patient, after being treated, is found to have money, he is notified upon returning for a second treatment to secure it from regular practitioners. System 'Working Oat Welt. "I am greatly Impressed with the work of the county physician." said Commissioner Lightner yesterday. "I believe the charitable work necessary and I do not think the system we have leaves any room for persons to impose upon the county. "I personally investigate many cases and have not yet found more than one or two which were not deserving of charity. With the growth of Port land our work naturally gets heavier, but it is a feature of the county busi ness which cannot be neglected. "Hundreds of lives are saved annually and the general public Is protected by our attending to the sick and helpless, preventing the spread of disease or the producing of paupers which naturally would follow carelessness in the care of poor people, who receive injuries which require exacting care to pre vent disablement."
