lean hospitals are monu
mental in all aspects, especially
in investment, buildings, per-
sons engaged, and services rend*
ered. The" total' investment. in
lands, buildings, equipment, and
furnishings exceeds $2,750,000,-
000.00, The average, daily pop-,
vlation of doctors, nurses, em-
ployees, and patients, is more
than 1,250,000. .The number of
men, women, and children ad-
mitted annualy is about 8,000,-
000.
There are 8500 hospitals in
the United, States containing
850,000 beds. Of the above in-
stitutions 1500 are puI^Hg; that
Is, institutions operated by the
state, county, or city in which
they are located and including
alio those operated by" the Fed
eraf Government. The remain-
7000 hospitals are privately
whed and operated and includ-
ed are those institutions financed
by persons who are philanthrop-
ically inclined.
When church hospitals were
eiL-JhfiMget
how Protestants, Catholics, and
Hebrews canducted their work
on & strictly non- sectarian basis.
A person needing a hospital bed
is never questioned on their
religious faith and Belief exeept
for the purpose of compiling the
required history of a isase. There
is no other one line of activity
that is so broad and generous' in
this respect although splendid
examples of this principle was
shown continually in connection
with the .Red (jfross workv and

hospitals in large numbers seek-
ing employment where wages
were larger than those paid by
the hospitals, It would seem as
though the, above losses , would
more than suffice in breaking the
spirit of the institution but in
addition to all of the above, many
thousands of persons accustomed
toisupporting local institutions
ceased helping them so that their
available funds could be used for
national causes where gr^
needs were shown. The climax
came when the influen^a epiderri-
ic crowded in upon us to art
hitherto unknp^n extent. Every-
one can iptm its effect on our
lives apd interests and we recall
th<pcf3ays With great sorrow.
Brit what would the loss of life
been if. we had had no33^?
pitals? They saved us, for wh
We needed naost was .orga^^L
tion. It has been estimated by
reliable authorities that in con-
nection with our war wefck aiid
and whon facing thisSe|OTSiaii
that the life savings e;
1,000,000. Our hospitals
the test; they .squarely, faced
•yery obligation and today they
are stronger and we as a peo-
ple are - better informed
their work and the benefits to b6
derived through thsir use—dtl6
entirely to their great heart-ser-
vice in the interest of us all. It
is therefore right that we shonld
recall with feelings of deepest
gratitude of how w© were saved
and helped through these thou-
sands of health centers ip our
land. They represent the conser-
vation of health and the better
control of disease.
In closing, I would like to urge
on you people of Texas that you
show more largely your interest
in hospitals and that yon support
them.more generously. It should
be noted that in Texas there are
about 350 institutions with a bed
capacity of about 16,000. JBut
your state is backward and its
volume does not compare favor-
ably with many other states.
Througjioi^t the United States

in Texas, ^J1

Other states are engaged now in
increasiug'their i?ed capacity and
it is time for thh great state to
arouse herself and go into thi
work in a modern way. '

Persuing Issues Order Designating

Paris.-s-Gerf^i'al Pershing'fe position
regarding the Y. M. C. A.'s manage-
ment of athletic • activities in the
American expeditionary forces ia set
forth in the following army order :;.
"The Y. M. C. A.,, with the approval
if the commander in chief, has organ-
ized a departrnent of athletics and is
prepared to give every assistance In
j je development of general Athletics
. and the arrangement an$ management

In another section of the order, pro-
vision is made for mass athletics and
.competitions for every possible man,
an all-point company athletic cham-
pionship and official A. E. F. cham-
pionships in a wide variety of sports.
"Keep Fit for Home" is now the slo-
gan. If the period* of demobilization
is not to be, as Doctor Mott liaa put
it,. "a period of demoralization" for
many men, attractive, constructive
physical activities must immediately
be substituted. To a certain degree a
continuation of military drill will meet
the situation, but the games and play,
Informal and competitive, will be
found the best agency to meet the call
for physical well-being.

of it and before 8 o'clock the car
was scraped clean of the precious
fuel. One man, D. D. Holderman
who lives about fifteen miles dis-
tant near McAdoo, drove into
town about 3 o'clock and before
day had dawned about a dozen
wagons were on the ground. The
moon shone brightly and the
thought that they might get left
spurred them on, and it did prove
another instance of where /the
early-bird got the worm, for
many came who were too late to
get even a sigell off the black
diamond, notwithstanding they
were also early. The following
were the lucky ones to get coal
but each was limited to 500*lbs.
