Figures in recent official report to

Dor show the astounding growth of the

the last half-century. In 1SI3-less
than 90 years agO-there were in the
United States only 149 hospitals; to-
day there are nearly 9.1OO-an in
crease Of nearly 5000 per cent in the
number of Institutions In 1873 the
total capacity of the then-existing hos
pitfalls was 35,453; today the hospitals
of the country have n total capacity
Of approximately $4,000 beds-an in
crease of over 1000 per cent. The
amount Of money at present invested
In these institutions is roughly csti-
mated ut nearly $1,000. 600. 600; the an
nual eXpediture for supplies, equip
ment, upkeep and new construction is
said TO be about $3.50, 100000.
There Is much that is gratifying in
these enormous totals. says an editori-

Paper Has But One Subscriber.

1t has been the infieXibIe custom in
the imperial family of Japan, says a
writer in East and West News. to
withhold all newspapers and maya
zines from Its members until they at
tain their eighteenth year. but the
rule was waived in the case of HirO-
hito the present crown prince. -Four
months before his imperial highness
entered upon his eighteenth year he
was allowed to begin reading spe-
cially prepared journal.
This curious newspaper was edited
by an official OF the imperial house
hold and printed In the imperial print
ing office. 1t was set in special type
and printed on thick japanese paper.
The reading OF It did not require a
great deal Of time. for it was OF small
size and on single sheet.

HeIpfulness of Criticism.

II is natural to resent criticism. We
dislike anything that shakes our self
complacency or compels us to think.
Here and there q man has learned the
real service Of criticism and usually
he is man who has attained to more
than average success in life. We are
all more or less like the proverbinl os-
trich. We like to convince ourselves
that our faults are really our virtues,
in that we are doing good work in the
world when in truth we are tagging
far behind our actual capacity and
drifting along rather than really liv-

TENS in the United States in 1917 oper-
ated 241.o12 miles of pole line, COM

l151.725,22s messages; and employed
47.227 persons, to whom were paid
salaries and wages amounting to $685.
392,140. This report, which is issued
under the title "Telegro piers and
Municipal Electric Fire-Alarm and Po-
lice Patrol Signaling Systems" was
prepared under the supervision of Mr..
Eugene f. Hartley, chief statistician
for manufactures. and is the fourth of
a series of quinquennial reports on the
telegraph systems of the country
The pole-line mileage in 1917 was
less by 26 per cent. than in 1912, but
was greater by six-tents of one per
cent. than in 1907. The wire mileage
however, showed an increase Of Al per
cent. as compared with 1912 and 1877
per cent. over 1907. The increase in
the number of messages was much
greater-45.7 per cent during the last
five-year period and 53.1 per cent. dur
ing the ten years from 1907 to 1917.
The number of employees increased
by 1872 per cent. between 1912 and
1917 and by 4S.9 per cent. during the
period 1907-17. and the corresponding
percentages of increase in their salaries
and wages were 59.2 and 1912.
The number of telegraph offices in
1917 was 2s.S65, a decrease of 6.2 per
amt ms -o1 writ 90
seven-tenths of L per cent as com
pared with 1907. The total income from
telegraph traffic was s91,312,567, an
increase of 74.5 per cent. over 1912
and of 140.S per cent. as compared
with 1907; the income from all other
sources was $1.641,803; the total ex-
penses. including charges for deprecia-
ton and sinking funds. were $50 $685.
go. an increase of $40 per cent. over
1912 and of lilo per cent. over 1907;
and the net income was $12, 125, 400, an
increase of 1884 per cent. as compared
with 1912 and of 113.7 per cent. over
1907. The par value of the outstand-
ing capital stock of the companies was
s106.360. 237, a decrease of 1T per cent
as compared with 1912 but an increase
of per cent over 1907.
The foregoing figures relate only 70
commercial telegraph companies, and
thus exclude the wire and pole
line wholly owned and or Grated by
railroads, and also exclude the equip
ment and telegraph business of the
various press associations which lease
and operate wires for dispensing news.
The Postal Telegraph-C Gable company
transacts some little telephone business
in addition to its telegraph business.
Its development of long distance tele-
phone service has been particularly
rapid in the south and southwest
