a a a to to to to to to THE ENQUIRER, CINCINNATI, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 1933 HIGH PRAISE For Officials Of City Is Accorded In Report Of Welfare Department. Upkeep And Improvement Of Buildings In Time Of Depression Is Commended. Work of city officials at the General Hospital, the Workhouse and the City Jail was lauded yesterday in a report submitted to City Manager C. A. Dykstra by the State Department of Welfare.

An annual inspection, which usually results in recommendations for many improvements, produced a report devoid of such suggestions. The inspection was made recently by S. C. Griffin, social investigator for the department. The report stated: "Following a recent visit to three city institutions of Cincinnati, we are impressed with the fine manner in which the City of Cincinnati has carried on in the face of a longcontinued depression.

Not only has the general upkeep been maintained, but improvements have made at the Hospital and house which have been incalculable value in meeting and endeavoring to heal the after effects of the depression." Hospital Reorganized. Concerning the General Hospital the department comments: "There has been a general reorganization, enlargement and gearing up at the Hospital, particularly in the clinic, which has made it possible to treat more than 33,000 sufferers within the past year, and from this number 16,116 were received as patients. In addition to the enlarged and combined clinic service, particular. ly along lines of care for psychopathic patients from the Probate Court, which has been doubled within the last year, and the detention of the insane has been eliminated largely from the county and city jails. The gratifying feature of this hospital service is the fact that a large percentage of these persons, largely unbalanced by severe reverses, are returned to SOciety cured in mind body.

Without this service a large part would have gone directly the State Hospital for the Insane." Reorganization of the drug department at the hospital has had much to do with the reduction in the per capita cost to $2.70 a day the report states. Concerning the Workhouse the The Girding La. Highlighting the Navy Suit with Platinum Fox at 69.50 Because this smart fur trimmed suit combines the two leading spring colors Navy Crissa with graceful large collar of grey fox, it is an outstanding spring suit for dress as well as street wear. GIDDING'S THE SUIT STORE OF CINCINNATI investigators report: "We found the same spirit of upkeep and improvements at the Workhouse and we have no recommendations to make at this time, since our suggestions in a former report have been carried out with interest and understanding. A home atmosphere has been created in the quarters for women.

Opportunity for occupation and recreation has steadily improved. Welfare Has Advanced. "Welfare activities have been advanced under the general direction of the City Welfare Department to a point where correction and opportunity for reformation go hand in hand. "It is a unique experience to find such commendable and modern welfare activities being worked out in a building so ill adapted in housing equipment and location. It has required unusual ingenuity and application.

We would be glad to see the management working under more favorable circumstances but realize that a new location and building is out of question at present." Relative to the City Jail the report "Here also is a fine organization maintaining good order and discipline under handicap of poor location, light ventilation. We have called attention in our previous report to the backfires of the many automobiles parked in the inner court of the jail, and the cell rooms below grade, which are open to the gaze of the steady flow of people on the sidewalks. We are informed, however that there is no possible fund available to correct this situation." NEGOTIATION IS ENDED. Property For Bond Hill Playground To Be Condemned. Negotiations for the purchase of four-tenths of an acre of ground required for the Bond Hill Playground between Norfolk Avenue and California Avenue were ended yesterday by the Public Recreation Commission and the property will be acquired through condemnation proceedings.

The property is in the center of the tract and is needed if a Class A baseball diamond is to be maintained on the tract. William S. Edgemon, Assistant City Solicitor, had hoped to reach an agreement on the value of the property with Fred Bruns, owner, but he reported that this was impossible. The commission agreed to erect a suitable "backstop" on the Bond Hill Playground immediately and the work will be completed before April 1, when the first game is scheduled. Two bids were received for the moving of the building at Clark and Dalton across the street to the West Athletic Field.

streets, This building was presented to the city by contractors for the new Union Passenger Station and is to be used as a field house. It is now located on terminal property. The structure has five large rooms and facilities for toilets and showers. Both bidders had the same last name. They were C.

C. Metzcar, 29 Springfield Pike, Wyoming, and R. H. Metzcar Son, 3320 Beredith Place, Pleasant Ridge, but the bids were apart. The commission learned that the work can be done for less than $500.

The bids were referred to Tam Deering, Director of Recreation, who may make an award today. QUILT TO BE SHOWN. Famous Bed Cover Buried To Save It From War Raiders. The New York Beauty, 135 years old, has come to Cincinnati and will be exhibited from 2 to 10 p. m.

In a letter to City Council yesterday Wilbur Miller, 4608 Edgewood Avenue, Winton Place, asks the city to pay bills for medical services totaling $1,132.85 which he incurred as a result of injuries suffered in assisting police November 4, 1932. Miller was shot in his abdomen as he was assisting a policeman to apprehend a fugitive from justice. In his letter to Council he states that he was in an automobile with a party of friends at Edgewood and Epworth Avenues on the date of incident. Police were pursuing a man. With his friend, Burton Gisman, Miller joined in the chase.

Several shots were fired during the chase. Near McMakin Avenue they found the suspect with the policeman sitting on him. The policemen asked them to hold the man's arms. Miller said he reached across to see if the man had a pistol and at that moment the man jerked his arm loose and shot him in his abdomen. Miller was taken Dr.

Laughry's office and then to the Deaconess Hospital. The hospital bill for five weeks was $286.85. During his illness he was treated by Dr. Walter Griess and Dr. Laughry.

Now Sell Something! A friend of J. Holbert Byram's yesterday at luncheon in a Cincinnati hotel introduced to The Enquirer Graphologist a friend of his, one John J. McDonald, Boston, Mass. He asked that the graphologist scan the script of Mr. McDonald.

"He should be sales engineer," Byram said, after looking at the sample McDonald wrote out. "The script shows the forcefulness and easy meeting-of-people which go to make a good salesman. There is also the power of analysis, ability to handle details and capacity for overcoming obstacles that go to make an engineer." "I am," said McDonald, "a sales engineer." some kind of literary work than as a lawyer, for which he is studying. Byram does not think he will be a bad lawyer but saw ability the other way. He suggested the possibility of legal writing.

Yesterday brought one of those bundles that have not been infrequent, six letters, all with three coupons each, from group of friends. They will probably have a big time comparing what he says. Eyram got busy on another bridge club group yesterday, too. OUTLOOK Of Business Bright, Is View Of New Yorker, Who Addresses Forum President Roosevelt Is Lauded. Tribute to the indefatigable energy and determination of President Franklin D.

Roosevelt to bring the nation out of its period of depression was paid yesterday by Harry A. Hopf, New York, President of the National Office Management Association, in an address before the Chamber of Commerce Forum. The speaker said that because of the activities of the President who, he stated, is working almost 20 hours out of the 24, "business sentiment has changed rapidly in the last week from despair to hope, and the paralysis of fear which for months has been holding business in check has given way to a new courage and enthusiasm." "Confidence has been restored," Mr. Hopf continued, "through the prompt and constructive action of the President and Congress. Business once again in has an opportunity to go forward on the path to profits.

However, that opportunity can be grasped only by management that has put its house in order." The New York speaker gave a number of illustrations of his various points from his own business experience as a consultant. Speaking of the necessity of having a predetermined goal of sales, he told of how one firm almost came to bankruptcy because it tried to merchandise 100,000 dozen of dresses without having mapped out a sales campaign adequately. "The only thing which saved this firm," he said, "was the happy thought of holding a fashion show and then it was not the efforts of the firm itself but the activity of groups of pretty girls who had been employed as models which turned the trick. The girls sold the dealers on the merchantability of the garments and that saved the day for the distributor. "It was really the pretty girls who turned defeat into a victory by a close shave." The speaker outlined seven essentials of management which he said every business must have if it is to succeed under new conditions.

They are the following: "A predetermined goal to which the efforts of management will be directed; an executive personnel selected because of its competence; a flexible organization framework; the will cooperate; accurate and timely information concerning operating and standards on the one hand, basic economic data on the other; a comprehensive system of budgetary control; a sound plan of incentives." Announcement was made by Claude E. Ford, Forum Chairman for the day, at the meeting at the Hotel Gibson, that the speaker next week would be former Congressman James T. Begg, of Northern Ohio. Congressman Begg, who ran for the United States Senate in the Republican primaries and later for Governor, will speak on "The Cost of Unorganized Politics." RELIEF BILLS DEBATED. City Manager C.

A. Dykstra and Skinner, Director of the Bureau of Municipal Research, were in Columbus yesterday to attend hearings of Legislative Committees in connection with bills to provide funds for unemployment relief. City Manager Dykstra sought to impress on members of the Legislature that unless the state provided some funds for unemployment relief the Reconstruction Finance Corporation would discontinue loans for this purpose in Ohio. Hamilton County alone is using $400,000 a month for unemployment relief. COMMISSARY PLAN OPPOSED.

Resolutions of the College Hill Welfare Association opposing the Commissary Plan of relief distribution were filed with L. B. Blakemore, Clerk of Council, yesterday. The association favors a plan whereby all goods used in relief work will be purchased in Hamilton County from merchants who are taxpayers here. A whole batch of letters came together.

The young hostess will have the readings for her guests on meeting day. A Charleston, W. woman yesterday was told that she would be art design. Her hand showed creative ability and artistic inclinations, Byram said. A Hannibal, violin teacher who sent in a letter from a McMillan Street address in Cincinnati was told that she had considerable literary ability and need not fear the possible "smugness" of a settled-down life in a small town which she mentioned.

A Franklin Avenue woman, wondering at what job she would be best, was told that she could become a secretary of the highest type. A student nurse from Winton Place asked if Byram thought she would be able to finish her course. Judging from her script, and not trying his hand at fortune telling he replied, "yes." In her hand he perseverance and willpower. He said her practicality and conscientiousness would make her a good nurse. In the script of a Cincinnati woman whose initials are M.

E. and who admits that her life-long ambition is to write, Byram saw justification of that ambition. He saw pronounced literary ability. A grade school boy, just ready to enter high school, was told to take a broad course, avoiding specialization. Byram says he is a bit of a lone wolf and needs the influence of the though of others.

A Hillsboro, Ohio, farmer asked why a certain young lady was SO cool to his advances, although she wrote him nice letters from a distance. The Graphology Editor hereby refers him to "Human Hearts, as Revealed by Mary Mott." NOTED ARCHITECT DIES. W. S. Robinson Was Once Engaged By Kaiser Wilhelm.
