Variety Of Views Expressed.

John Joy Edison said the present hos
pital is inadequate. DR.. James Dudley
Morgan said that although certain adj
ditional facilities are needed. conditions
in general are good. The present loca-
ton of the hospital is a good one, he
said. Mr.. Edison deplored the fact that
many persons had fought against hav-
ing the hospital erected on the site
originally purchased for it, thereby de-
laying it's building. he said. S. w. Cur
riden declared the hospital would en-
nance property values in its vicinity,
rather than to cause them to depre-
ciate. S. T. Cameron spoke in OPPOSE
ton to placing the institution at 14th
and Upshur streets northwest.
DR.. Morgan in defending the hospital
said that its present location is
healthful one, that the soil was splen-
did for the raising of vegetables and
that the grounds around the hospital
were ample. He said that the car line
facilities should be extended, however

Roman Catholics throughout the city to-
day observed the feast OF st Blaise by visit

mony known as the Blessing OF the Throat.
Following celebration of the mass this
morning the priests Of the several churches
passed along the throng Of parishioners
at the altar rail. recltng brief prayer
as they held two lighted candles in the
shape OF Il 81. Andrews cross to the throat
OF each supplcant N trn. This ceremony
was repeated at intervals later in the day
ana will continue this evening
The blessing OF the throat and invocation
or the saint are regarded as efficacious in
warding or throat and lung disorders, ana
in America where the grip and other null
monary or bronchial disorders are usually
prevalent at this period OF the year. the in
lercession Of st. Blaise is yearly invoked
by increasing numbers
The custom takes it's origin from the
martyrdom OF the saint In the fourth CEN

IN his death in the year 3I6. St Blaise
who was Bishop of Sebaste was stopped
by a woman holding a child. The little
one was choking to death from bone

doomed Bishop touched the child's throat

lung troubles with successful results
Many OF the early participants in the
ceremony today were infants who were
carried to the churches by their parents or
guardians. The churches in the business

visitation in the luncheon period and those
