today almost in the same form as the day It was built. There is a second sightly fountain in Memory Garden, built in 1812 or 1814. It was erected as a replica of one in Cordova, Spain. Originally it was located about 300 feet from Its present site and quite a distance from the mission itself. It was moved to Its present location In July, 1922, by the Los Angeles Park Department when the department restored the mission garden.

The ground for the garden was donated to the Park Department by Leslie T. Brand, who came into possession of the land years after the collapse of the missions. the 19th century when the mission heads were transforming the plains around Los Angeles from unproductive wastes into lands which brought wealth to the missions and incited the beginning tuesday, december 27th cupidity of Mexican powers.

It looked then as if Myers might. be on- the way to fame anew, but the Chaplin picture was silent and consequently did not spell great significance in a Hollywood gone over to talking pictures. Still the attention attracted by Myers held good for a time. As recently as three or four years ago he played in "Mississippi," the old-age insurance plan do not realize they already have built up an insurance protection for their families in case of death.

HOW TO COMPUTE married during their convalescence; some have had children. Many live in their own homes or other private residences. In short, many are leading relatively normal lives and in some cases have received compensation which exceeded what they earned when they contracted the disease or would receive when returned to their original employment status. Nevertheless, there are still real problems and sincere heartaches. BITTER PROTESTS Most of the earlier complaints have been remedied, but as recently as last week there were bitter protests because one group of patients was not authorized to continue treatment under the physician they preferred.

Those still legitimately In poor condition are wondering about the future. For some of the patients the 240-week limit on temporary disability compensation is approaching. Informal ratings as to the percentage of permament disability in 139 cases have been asked from the Industrial Accident Commission and dissatisfaction with those informal ratings released so far has already prompted 13 filings for formal hearings before the commission's referees. Several hearings were held here last week. Another is scheduled for tomorrow.

PARAMOUNT QUESTION To a sympathetic public, of course, the paramount question Is: "Are these women getting a square deal? Are some to be left in serious condition with insufficient funds when temporary compensation ends as it has, temporarily at least, for some? Is the county the villain In the Some of the problems faced by the county as well as the official attitude toward the situation will be told in another article tomorrow along with a more detailed history of the subject. Its ramifications are legal, medical, psychological and when the whole tragedy is reviewed, It turns out that there's not a definite heroine-and-viilain relationship after all.

But happily most of it is In the past tense. There are more cheerful aspects if one looks at the story from a five-year standpoint.

Of the total 343 cases 136 have been closed for some time and the death rate has been low. Of the 207 mentioned above, records show that 85 are working full time despite the need' for occasional medical treatment. MAY SOON WORK Of the remainder, a considerable number may soon be able to work again; this is a controversial matter to be discussed later. A fact little known to most of the public is that all of the victims are not completely bedridden; neither are they all afflicted with the shriveled limbs and flaccid muscles commonly associated with paralysis. Although still accepted by most physicians as poliomyelitis, the disease has struck in a virulent variety of ways not always expected with it.

The result, consequently, Is that many of the patients appear normal to the layman's eyes, but are subject to a whole gamut of recurrent afflictions. These range from undue fatigue or ordinary headaches to harmful growths requiring removal by major surgery.
