OPEN NEW HOSPITAL
PERHAPS TOMORROW
Accommodations for Tuber-
Cular Patients Best in
the Country.

II is expected that the new Tubercu-
losis Hospital, which is regarded by
officials Of the District and physicians
who have visited 1t as the best con-
structed and equipped institution Of its
kind in the United States, will be open
ed tomorrow or Friday.
Forty patients will be removed to
the hospital at once. Accommodation is
provided for 40. and It is thought that
within a week or so the institution will
have that number Of patients.
DR. Percy C. Smith, superintendent
OF the new hospital, is not new to Dis
trict work. DR.. Smith entered the serv-
ice OF the District as an employee Of the
Board Of Charities in 1893. and for sew
eral years was engaged in the inspec-
ton Of the hospitals under the super
vision Of the District.
Head of Home.
In 1906 he was appointed superrntend-
ent OF the Home for the Aged and In
firm. His success as an organizer and
his executive ability in the control OF
this institution led to his selection by
the Commissioners as superintendent
of the new hospital. TO which position
he was appointed in April Of this year
DR.. Smith is enthusiastic over the
new work. The hospital he regards as
the best of its kind In the country,
and the credit for its erection he gives
to DR.. George NJ. Kober, a member OF
the Board Of Charities, and a prominent
