Running $4,000 Behind.

President Tucker told the trustees
that disbursements of the hospital
during the last fiscal year exceeded
the receipts by $4,000; Mr.: Edwards
in his report estimated that the hos
pitars income would have to be in
creased by at least $4,000 year as
long as the cost of operating the in
stitution remains at the present. high
level.
DR.. L. K. Beatty declared that in his
opinion Casualty Hospital has become
an absolute necessity to Washington
and should be put on thriving basis
as soon as possible. In the present
crowded condition of the city. he con-
tinued. it would be a calamity for the
Mr.. Edwards called attention to the
valuable service which Casualty Hos
pital renders the city by caring for
half of the emergency or police work
of the District. :, Frequently, it was
pointed out, Casualty goes to the aid
of persons injured outside the Dis
trict line, and II these patients are
not in a position to pay. for the treat

who would preach as part. OF their

Wants Charity Fee Increased.

Congress annually appropriates $25.-
600 for Casualty Hospital, but this
sum is placed in the hands OF the
board of charities. and from It the
board pays the hospital a stated sum
for it's emergency patients who are
unable to pay. The trustees were
unanimous in the belief that the fee
for charity patients should be in.
creased in proportion to the cost of
caring for these people under present
high prices.
President Tucker said that in the
proposed campaign for funds the hos
pital will be able to point to- the fact
that 1t has $4,000. left by the will of
Thomas w. Smith, which can only be
used to start building fund, and
cannot be expended otherwise.
The item Of ambulance expenses was
cited by Mr.. Edwards as an illustra-
tion of how the cost of operating the
hospital has increased. 1t has been
found, he said. that it costs the hos
pital $1.76 each time the ambulance
makes a trip, while the amount re-
ceived per trip was so cents. Under
these conditions, said Mr. Edwards.

Not Merely Emergency Station.

Several of the trustees deplored the
fact that more people in the north =
east and southeast sections of the
city do not use Casualty when they
need hospital treatment. The. sugges-
tion was made that the hospital should
conduct an educational campaign to
wipe out the erroneous impression ex-
listing in the minds of many Washing
tonians that Casualty Hospital is
merely an emergency station for per-
sons injured-on the streets.
DR.. Reeves said the residents of the
east end of the city should be brought
to realize that they have in their
midst a hospital as well equipped, if
not as large. as the hospitals in other
parts of the city. The people of the
East End, he said, should be made to
feel that Casualty is their hospital.
Evan H. Tucker, president of the
board of trustees, in speaking of the
fact that the hospital has been fall
ing short of operating expenses in the
past two years, said the condition is
due to the fact that the cost of every
thing used in the operation of the in
stitution has increased far out of pro-
portion to the revenues received by
the hospital. He said the audit COM
mittee keeps a close watch on the
books for unnecessary expenses. He
said he believes the hospital. is eco

gin Of Albert fell Gas fall she must, in
the opinion of all who saw the statue)
the war would end In a victory for
France and her allies, But the war
did not end, nor did the statue fall,
and the opposing armies settled down
to nearly four years of trench war

The Germans, who certainly never
miss point In their efforts to under
mine their opponents morale, seized
on the legend. Varying 1t to suit their
purpose they spread the story far and
wide that when the statue fell France
would lose the war. Now, the town Of
Albert possesses a most patriotic and

story of the Madonna which was dis
lodged by German shell fire from It's
perch on the tower Of the parish
church at Albert during the first mad
rush Of the Huns through France In

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you can not find
single trace OF dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp win not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at frst-yes really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dam
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wayy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of 1t if you will just try a little Dam
derine.-Adv.
