"He Was Kind To Us But

(By A Special Correspondent)

A woman who claims to be the last child of Charles Stewart Parnell, the famous Irish politician, and Katie O'Shea is living almost penniless with her husband in a shabby London houte.

She is Mrs. Katharine Moule, aged 52, who keeps a boarding-house in Mornington-crescent, Camden Town,

"I was born at my mother's house at Eltham, Kent. My father was particularly fond of me because I was the baby most like my mother and had her grey eyes. Clare and Sophie had brown eyes and were like him,

PATIENTS WON'T LET US KEEP THEM ALIVE

-SAYS A DOCOR

A London County Council hospital doctor telephoned

a London newspaper the other day. "There has been a lot of criticism of doctors recently," he said. "Why not give your readers the doctor's point of view?

"Tell them how public funds are wasted, how deserving cases are kept out of hospital beds, how the blood of donors is wasted because the poor-law doctor may do nothing to interfere with the liberty of the patient."

A reporter went to see him. This is what the doctor said:

Twenty-five per cent of the beds in poor-law hospitals would be vacant, or free for fresh cases, if poor-law doctors could occasionally be high-handed with their patients.

Let me give examples from my own hospital, one of the largest and best- run in London. The same thing is happening all over the country.

Tuberculosis will never be stamped out of the country until doctors are given authority to de- tain patients admitted to hospital. Fathers and mothers allowed to return to their families while they are still suffering from active forms of the disease are a menace to every child with whom they come in contact.
