Death of Corporal Post Cleared as Self Inflicted
The body of Corporal Fred Poat of Troop F, Thirteenth United States Cavalry, died at Fort Myer Virginia after a gunshot wound to the head. An inquiry showed he shot himself in the right temple during a personal crisis, with three cartridges found on him. The verdict by officers avoided stating death by self act, while the father of the deceased sought full facts. Poat had been ill with typhoid last summer, served seven years, and returned to Fort Myer two weeks ago in good spirits.

The Shut-In Society Growth From a New York Start
A Baltimore News piece recounts how a single New York woman confined by illness formed a network with two others, evolving into the Shut-in Society. It now has 1600 invalid members, with 900 associates who visit, write, and send books, gifts, and equipment to ease sickness. The group operates nationwide with New York City headquarters and Canada branches, publishes Open Window, and shares birth month lists and notices. It emphasizes cheer, faith, and courage over charity, and distributes wheelchairs, bed rests, and hot water bottles at no cost.
