Boy Struck by Street Car Has
Left Leg Broken and is
Badly Scratched.

Another fatal street car accident
was narrowly averted Thursday
morning when Archie Fisher, aged | 3
years. Of Broad Oaks. was hit by
Broad Oaks car of the Monongahela
Valley Traction Company in Month
cello avenue just south of the old gas
house. The boy suffered n broken
leg and several scratches about his
face and hands. He Is a patient at
the eKssler hospital and while his
injuries are painful he will recover.
According to persons who wit
messed the accident, young Fisher
was standing on the west side of the
street by telephone pole throwing
stones at several ducks that were
swimming in the creek. Apparently
he did not hear the approaching car.
The motorman seeing him sounded
the gong several times to warn Fish
er that the car was approaching. See
ing that the boy did not heed the
warning the motorman slowed down
the car and just as he reached the
spot where Fisher was standing Fish
or turned and tried to cross the track.
The car struck him and knocked him
off the track against the telephone
pole inflicting the injuries noted.
Hal not the motorman seen
him standing behind the telephone

killed instantly.

pitfalls. was employed.
The new hospital has so many new
and advantageous features that 1t is
difficult to enumerate them all. A
big feature and remarkable i'm
provement over the old system Is the
almost complete elimination of noise
in the building. A noiseless call sys-
TEN for the nurses will be installed.
An electric automatic elevator, which
will run from the basement to the top
floor, will do away with much Of the
noise made climbing stairs. The
elevator runs smoothly and almost
noiselessly.
Plenty of Sunlight.
Each floor will have large YER
anda. SO arranged mat patients may
be taken out in their beds and wheel
chairs into the fresh air and sunshine.
Each veranda will be so arranged that
it will be converted into sun par
lor, with sky lights and sides arranged
like window panes. A sun parlor Is
not always best for the patient, for II
does not allow full advantage OF plenty
Of fresh air. For this reason most OF
the verandas will be open-like out
doors, protected from falling weather
by roof.
The operating suite will be on the
ground floor. Most operating rooms
are on the top floor. but the plans OF
this building make 1t more convenient
to have 1t on the first floor. The suite
will be SO arranged that none OF the
fumes from the operating rooms can
get into the rooms occupied by the
patients. sterilizing and physicians
and surgeons scrub rooms will be sep
arate from the operating rooms.
Because they are the most sanitary
and can easily be steamed out and
sterilized. tin pipes will be used in
conveying water to the operating
