CITY HOSPITAL'S NEED FOR WARD 1S POINTED OUT

Dr. Myers Seeks Continued Psychopathic Facilities at Institution.

The promise of greater facilities with the completion of the remodeled contagious ward and an appeal for continued operation of the psychopathie ward are salient points | in the annual report submitted by the Indianapolis City Hospital., Dr. Charles W. Myers, hospital superintendent, pointed out the need ! for treatment of mental diseases. | Only the efficiency of services provided make up for the inadequacy of the ward's present quarters, he said. Remodeling - of the contagious ward with money donated by the Ely Lilly Co. is expected to be completed in two weeks. The annual report covers every department of the hospital, showing’ an increase of 1238 patients admitted during the year as compared to the number for the preceding year.

Claims Increased Efficiency

This increase, Dr. Myers pointed out, was the result of increased efficiency, since no additional facilities were available and the budget was curtailed. The report showed a reduction in cost per day per patient for the “year. The average in 1934 was| $2.73, cut to $2.63 in 1935. Dr. Myers reported, “The service rendered tothe community by the psychcpathic ward is of such importance that every effort should | be made for its continuance. To discontinue it would be a heartless blow to the mentally sick and I do not believe the people should or will approve such action.” Stressing the importance of longer periods of residence for physicians appointed in the ear, nose and throat department, the executive committee recommended that none be appointed to the regular staff unless certified by the American Board of Otolaryngology.

Plan Specialist Development

, Dr. G. B. Jackson and Dr. James Balce of the committee pointed eut that a certificate from the American board was considered the minimum requirement fer standardization of specialists in the laryngeal field of medicine. “With the wealth of material in City Hospital clinics, and the excellent facilities for post-graduate work in the Indiana University School of Medicine, we plan to attract the best in the country and develop specialists who will be a credit to themselves and an honor to the hospital,” the committee reported. What was described as -an unusually low death rate for surical cases was reported in the stateent. Excluding admissions where death occurred within 24 hours, the mortality rate on surgical cases was 5.8 per cent. The obstetrical department reported 1347 babies delivered, with a mortality .rate of 4.8 per cent for combined hospital and out-patient deliveries. The average infant mortality rate in Indigna, the report stated, is 4.9 per cent. 33 Nurses Graduated

The report showed that of 62 student. nurses admitted during 1935, only 35 were graduated. Five resigned inal of ill health, 11 failed in class work and three were married, ending their training. . Autopsies were performed in: 336 cases during thé year and 71,089 examinations were made. More than 8000 patients were ex-

Business Is Barometer of Trade Conditions, Official Says.

BY JERRY SHERIDAN

the Gibson Co. you can send it a clipped monkey’s tail, write a let-

one of the 79 foreign representatives. The Gibson Co. 433 N. Capitolcv, has been in the exporting business since 1898 when it started sup- | plying faraway dealers with automobile parts. Joseph M. Bloch, {treasurer and general manager of | the company, considers the export | business a fair barometer of general {ade conditions and expects improvement for the entire country to follow present trends.

- Favors Low Tariff

Reciprocal trade treaties, he stated, are doing much to improve business with foreign countries and favorable action in the future will go far to buttress a noticeable rise in foreign trade. Mr. Bloch emphasized the importance of ow tariff as a means to economic covery in this country. The Gibson Co. mail comes from practically every country in the world. K. R. LaForge, export manager said. Explaining some of the difficulties the business, Mr. LaForge showed a jet black monkey skin which came from a native on the African Gold Coast. With the skin came a letter: “I want also to-dash you a parrot, but you must sent me nest to I hope God will help you and I and catalog of tools (such as nuts) which you will send me.”

Wanted Tool Catalog

Mr. LaForge interpreted this as a request for their machine tool catalog and a crate for a parrot the customer wanted to send him. The monkey skin, their foreign representative said, was a sign ot good faith and an indication the man wanted to do business with them. Mr. LaForge, who has been too busy during the last 14 years to visit any of the curious countries he knows so well, says he still finds the business full of romance. The Gibson Co., could open its mail day after day and -tell just what is going on thousands of miles away. The orders, Mr. LaForge says, always indicate where wars are going on, for the company supplies automobile replacement parts to practically every country.

‘Order From Asmara 4

Today an order arrived for parts to be sent to Asmara, Eritrea, presumably to equip some of Mussolini’s trucks. The order was 18 days reaching ‘Indianapolis by airmail and will not be on the scene of action, ready for use, until sometime in July. It would have taken six or seven weeks for the order to have reached the Gibson Co. by regular mail. Orders come in every language and the Gibson Co. employs a translator who delves into the. secrets of what the customer from Shahjahanpur wants for his Model T. During the Sino-Japanese war two years ago, Mr. LaForge says his firm supplied everything from radiator caps to tail lamps. # Last year a customer representing the government of Paraguay rushed here by plane to place what is considered the largest order of its kind. Mr. Bloch said they wondered about this order. Would they have filled it if they were sure it would have stopped the current war down

Lilly Laboratory for Clinical Re- | search, established. in 1926, is al small ward devoted to control and | investigation of disease processes. | Approximately 60 papers were pub- | lished during the last 10 years on this subject. During 1935 papers on potency of liver extract, carbon dioxide in aneniia. anemia and the digestive tract, heterophile antigen and serum sickness, .and a series on “Medicine in Retrospect” were published.

Needed equipment not provided for in the budget are warming cabinets, dish washing equipment, electric stoves and toasters and service tables, he said. In the utility rooms | sterilizers and sinks are needed and | beds, lamps, desks and floor cover- | ings -and bath facilities are SOUZhE for all wards, according to the re- | port. City Hospital operation in 1935 cost $51805291 as compared with | $520,910.58 the previous year, the financial report showed. :

VETERAN BOARD HURRIES ACTION § ON BONUS BONDS

Intricate Machines Aid in Gigantic Task; Deadline Is June 15.

Times Special WASHINGTON, May 28.—Racing against time, employes of the Vet-

erans’ Administration are working at a rapid pace in an attempt to distribute 37,000,000 bonds to World War service men shortly after midnight June 13. Finger-print systems, vaults, timing clocks and high-geared machines are their aids in this herculean task. tomatic writing machines, wh turn out 25,000 checks a day, are used, and duplicates, which eventually will find their way into some vault as a double check on payments, are being prepared. These machines stamp all the checks with the signature of G. F. Allen, chief disbursing officer of the Treasury.

Checks for Odd Sums

Each bond is worth $50, and checks are necesssary to make fractional payments below that amount, it was explained. Behind cordons of secret service agents and special police, trained examiners check each bond printed for possible flaws. Batteries of typists and addressograph operators prepare the bonds and checks for mailing. The Postoffice ‘Department has arranged to have midnight trains carry the bonds in registered mail pouches for delivery the next day. General orders on methods of local delivery are expected to be given to all postoffices shortly.

Prints Assure Accuracy

Authorities claim there is little chance the bonds will fall into wrong hands. Fingerprints were required on the adjusted service certificates and on the present application for bonds. On worry the bureau has is changing addresses of veterans. Since the rush program began, the Federal agency has received notice of 20,000 address changes. When the United States entered the World War, 4,764,071 men were inducted into service. Of these about 4,000,000 survive. On May 19, 1924, Congress enacted the adjusted compensation act, under which certificates were issued to veterans Jan. 1 1925. Enacted Over Veto

The present bonus law was passed by Congress, vetoed by President Roosevelt and immediately enacted over his veto on Jan. 27, 1936. Within a few days after it was passed the Veterans Bureau began receiving thousands of applications. Two thousand extra employes were hired by the Veterans’ Administration, 1300 added to the Treasury ranks, including the Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and hundreds of other workers were put in the postal service.

Principal in France’s sensational Roman Catholic Church dispute, Archbishop Andre Dubois de la Villerabel (above), 72, defied a Vatican order deposing him as apostolic administrator of the: Rouen diocese, pending his personal appeal to Pope Pius. He was ordered removed for an alleged breach of church discipline in permitting civil proceedings against his former vicar-general on charges of financial irregularities.
