CAMP Align FOR
! new EMERGENCY
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

and refined men. diplomats, Congress
men. scientists, trained men from every
State In the country, as well as our own
citizens have shared the treatment OF this
dilapidated building. as well as the poor
and needy.
''Wssnington has more distinguished
visitors than any city in America, and
provisions should be made for their
treatment, as well as for our own cit
liens.
'1t Is proposed to make the new hos
pital. not a large one, but one that is
large enough for some years to come.
and a model Of it's kind, where the best
treatment known to scientists and suit
able quarters may be given to rich and
poor alike. Such an institution will be
the means of saving money and valua-
BILE lives Of men, and its value cannot be
estimated In money. Nearly every city
OF a hundred thousand population or
more is far better equipped in this par
ticular than the National Capital. and
our civic pride. as well as our individ-
ual safety. should cause US to contrib
ute to this fund.
Lots Are Convenient.
The two lots now owned by the hospital
are on New York Avenue. opposite the
Corcoran Art Gallery. are admirably 10
Gated, and are as near the accident CEN
ter Of the city as it is possible to get
them out of the dust and noise.
THE contemplated building Is to be
thoroughly fireproof. heated. lighted. and
ventilated In the most approved manner.
The exterior will be neat and in accord
with other large buildings in the neigh
borhood. not extravagant In treatment,
and nothing that conduces to the COM
fort and safety Of patients will be omit
ted in the interior. To build and equip
such a building, and to accommodate
Lo patients. 1t will cost about 100000,
and this Is the amount that we are ask
ing the citizens of Washington to con-
tribute
"In appealing for these funds. we are
well aware Of the fact that the Emer-
gency Hospital is not the only charitable
institution which has a claim upon the
community. and vet. without prejudice to
other worthy institutions, we believe that
the Emergency Hospital has the first
claim.
1T has often been said in such cam
paigns as this that the raising of such
a sum of money must result in injury
to other charities AS a matter Of fact
IL the Emergency Hospital campaign is
successful, and we are confident 1t will
be, all other charitable institutions will
find 1t easier to get money for their need
ed improvements.
As an example and to substantiate this
statement, we desire to call attention to
Youngstown, Ohio. a city of 10000 in
habitants. Something over three years
ago the Y. w. c. A. Association asked
the citizens Of that place for the sum
Of $4,000. They actually had subscribed
$4,000. Eighteen months later the
Catholic Hospital of that town asked for
100000 but secured $4,000. Four weeks
ago the Y. NJ. c. A. organized for $780,
600 and secured that amount. What has
happened in that city has happened in
many, and We believe 1t will happen in
Washington.
Campaign Opens Monday.
It is proposed to open the campaign on
Monday evening, May 5, with a dinner
in the old Cafe Republique. and for
twelve days 200 business men Of the COM
munity will be appealing to the public.
When the time comes We know that the
citizens of Washington will respond with
as much liberality as the citizens OF
numerous other cities where successful
campaigns have been inaugurated.
mo movement ever inaugurated in
this city is more worthy of support,
and we commend it to the public"
