banquet extended to the members of
the Maricopa County Medical associa-
ton and their wives by the members
of the building committee of the Ari-
zona Deac0ness hospital last night at
I o'clock at the Women club. One
was to present plans of the institution
to members of the medical fraternity
for approval. Reports of various COM
mittees on both the new Deaconess
and Sisters hospita! were also re-
ceived.
DR.. Harbridge. president of the medi-
cal society, acting as chairman, intro
duced Mrs. L. H. Chalmers, chairman
of the building committee of the Dea-
coress hospital. The latter in a few
brief remarks outlined the purpose Of
the meeting. stating that members Of
the committee felt that the physicians
should be the first sought for a stamp
| of approval.
DR.. S. D. Whiting, next speaker on
the program, gave an interesting talk
on 'Pottinger's new methods OF paipa-
taJion' In technical terms he de-
scribed the best meiaod for young
physicians to quickly ascertain and di-
agnose tubercuar cases.
In his closing remarks he stated that
= in New Mexico, 81 men examined We're
passed by examining physicians as
physically fit and that of this number
81 were found to be tubercular when
examined later.

Need More Hospitals
Il want to make few statements
! in regard to the proposed new hos
pital." said Dr. Harbridge in his open
ing remarks, According to figures
compiled by experts on hospital sub
iects. hospitals here should have ac-
commodations for 300 persons or one
room for every 100 per capita.
There are TWO classes of hospitals.
one is known as the voluntary insti-
tuition since it is constructed and MAIN
tanned thu ugh voluntary subscription
Of residents of the community. The
other is known as the rate hospital,
and is usually maintained and con-
structed by the city or county.
Il am firmly convinced that the vol
untary is the more favored institution
at the present day, inasmuch as it is
organized through cooperation of res
ldents OF the community and for this
reason is open 10 public criticism. Con-
Sequeltly better results are achieved
and the pubilc knows Just now funds
for the support OF the hospital are eX-
pehded
