A park in Baltimoke has recently been named in honor of the son of a former Taftville boy Med" Hanlon left Taftville many years ago. but since that time has frequently visited here with his son, Joseph T. Hanlon. for whom the park is named. The Baltimore American has the following article:
 The 96-acre tract surreundins Lake Ashburton will be known hereafter as Hanlon park. By unanimous vote the board of park commissioners de- cided on this yesterday afternoon. The park was named as a tribute to the memory of Lieut.. Joseph T. Hanlon, who, as a member of the 30th En- gineers. was one of the first Maryland men to fall in action during the early days Of Americas participation in the world war Lieutenant Hanlon was the son of Med" Hanlon, baseball magnate and now a member df the park board.
 Commissioner Hanlon knew nothing of the plans of his colleagues to9lenor the memory Of his gallant son. and he was greatly surprised when the sub ject was brought up by Gen. Felix AgnuS, who offered the resolution te name the park, which is to be greatly improved mad beaHtified. In fact it a that It was in very inaudible tone of voice that he thznfzed his associates for their kind consideration.
 Young Hanlon was perhaps one of the best known young men in Bafti- more. He was an athlete of great reputation and a graduate of Ij0yola college. J. Goodman, Boyd, president of the park board, who was intimate ly acquainted with the lad, seconded the motion of General Agpus and eAlos gized the gallant young soldier.
 President Boyd told how young Han lon, engaged in war work in New York, could have obtained exemption from active military service; how his employers wanted him to remain al home and stick to his post; how they threatened to stan din his way and to keep him when he made application for commission, and how the lad came forward and demanded that he be allowed to serve as he saw fit, and how he threatened to enlist as a pr4-

 In an eloquent manner MT. Boyd then told how young Hanlon went to France after obtaining his commits sion; how he served with the French and won the Croix de GueTre; how he later served with the Engii sls-and was finally assigned to the S0tn Engineers of the American exDedftionary force.
 Ut was on July S1.s 191S," he said, 9that this son of our beloved asso- ciate was leading an attack on the Germans, while they were making their second retreat from the Marne. that he lost his life. Pe was going forward when he sa wor of his com rades fall. He stopped and turrsd back to see if he could so something for this fallen cQmrade when a shell exploded near him and caused wounds which resulted in his death short time later.
 "Joe Hanlon was as popular in France as he was in Baltimore He near and dear to all of his associates and those who served with him in France loved him more because of his bravery. In fact, they loved him so much that the field where he died is known now and always will be known as Hanlon field. It was christened with his blood and the blood of many other American boys. but Hanlen was among the bravest of them all, and because of this it was named for him
 Nothing gives me more pleasure than to add my voice in praise of this lad, and the others like him, who gave their lives to uphold the honor o1 America and to safeguard American institutions and traditions Nothing could be more fitting for us to do thar to name tish park in honor of Lieu tenant Hanlon."

GROWTH OF HOSPITAL IDEA
Value of Such Institutions in American
Eyes Is Shown by Their As
founding Growth.

Figures in recent official report to
the United States department Of la
Dor show the astounding growth Of the
hospital idea in this country during
the last half-century. In 1S73-less
than 80 years ago-there. were In the
United States only $40 hospitals; to-
day there are nearly 9,100-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 a total capacity
of approximately $4,000 beds-an in
crease of over 1000 per cent. The
amount of money at present invested
I'm these institutions is roughly esti-
mated at nearly 000O00,000; the an
nual expediture for supplies, equip
ment, upkeep and new construction is
said to be about $750.000000.
There is much that is gratifying in
these enormous totals, says an editori-
al in the Modern Hospital. Certain
ly, no stronger testimony could be ad-
duced to show that the people Of the
United States are thoroughly convert
ed to the hospital idea. and do not
mean to be deprived of the benefits OF
