Modern critic may doubt that King Arthur and bla knlghta of the Table Round ever existed, but In Tintagel Arthurian legend Is so real that a atone memorial Imll has been erected to the supposed mythical warrior who to have led the Chrlstlun kings of Britain against the Saxon kings of Kent In the Sixth century. "Tintagel I a lonely, windswept village on the northwest coast of Cornwall whose chief claim to fame Is the crumbling ruin of a gray old Cllffslde ensile one of the most remarkable monuments of antiquity In England," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society. "Whether or not King Arthur ever conducted bis Table Round In the ancient stronghold that crowns Head, It Is certain that It dates back to an unfathomable age. To Cornlshmen It seems logical that a legend which has survived so many centuries must have a respectable origin. So stories of King Arthur, Merlin the Enchanter, and others are preserved. If not strictly believed, In Tintagel. Just Crumbling Walls. "At Tintagel, as a matter of fact, what the visitor brings measures what be takes away. Come full of the Arthurian legend; come with Tennyson, with Geoffrey of Monmouth, with Mallory, and in spite of the cynics, you will savor noth lng but romance. Nowadays Tintagel castle Is but a tracery of crumbling walls on a vast headland, at the foot of which the most superb seas of Cornwall crash and glitter. So far below Is the water that even when the thinnest mist Is In the air It Is hardly possible to see the white foam of the breakers. The castle Is In two parts, separated by a deep ravine which, legend says, was once bridged. That It was Impregnable before the days of artillery or aircraft Is evident, defended as It Is by steep cliffs and the sea.

"Today scores of sheep pasture fearlessly on the slippery slopes which plunge so swiftly to the sea. door of the But the keep, as In days of yore, Is still the only exit or entrance to the headland.

Grasses grow where once Ygrayne, wife of tl.s duke of Cornwall, watched the siege of Castle Terrabll, on the mainland. When Terrabll fell, Uther Pendra-gonIts conqueror, slew the duke and speedily married his widow the same day. It was from this marriage that King Arthur was born, legend relates. Ancient Stone House.

In addition to a few summer botels and cotinges the village possesses a Fourteenth century atone house with a sagging slate roof that gives It the appearance of a horse, "Perhaps this old dwelling was once the residence of minor nobility, In that era when the hall waa carpeted with rushes and one dipped with one's own hand In the dinner pot. 1 he common room la uncelled to the rafters, and at one end a little balcony overhangs from which, no doubt, the ladies of tha place kept displeased eyes upon their lords at wassail below.

There are already hospitals at Kings Park, Central Isllp and Creedmore with thousands of Inmates. The Brentwood institution has been completed to a point where it has a population of 10,000 patients. Eventually It will have a total populatlo of That's equivalent to a city the size of Gary, Ind., or Lowell, Mass., and only a few thousand short of a city the size of Ctica, N. Y. Incidentally, according to the last census, there are only 73 cities in the United States with a population of 100,000 or more. The Brentwood Institution has been years In building and will take years to complete, the state's investment running into many millions. 100,-00- Not only as to size alone Is the Brentwood hospital unique. For instance, there is a new method of handling patients. The manner of feeding is an example. Instead of being massed at long tables and having food served to them, all patients who are able, go to a cafeteria, carry their trays around and select what they want to eat Just as do many thousands of normal persons In New York each day. Attendants are not uniformed. In the bakery, the attendant in charge is garbed Just as is every other head baker. The laundry attendant In SPAINS NEW PREMIER What! No Matched the Ship Mutt Stop!
