GROWTH OF HOSPITAL IDEA
Value Of Such Institutions In American
Eyes 10 Shown by Their A.
founding Growth.

Figures in a 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-centrs'-. In 1S73-less
than so years ago there were In the
United States only 149 hospitals; to-
day there are nearly 9,1O0-an In
crease of nearly 6.OG0 per cent In the
number of Institutions. In 1873 the
total capacity Of the then-existing hos
pitfalls was 5,453; today the hospitals
of the country have 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 esti-
mated at nearly 81. coo OOO, 600; the an
nual expenditure for supplies, equip
ment. upkeep and naw construction is
said to be about S150,OOOOOO.
There Is much thar Is gratifying In
these enormous totals. says an editori.
al in the Modern Hospital. Certain
", no stronger testimony could be ad
iuced to show that the people of the
United States are thoroughly convert
ed to the hospital idea. and do moi
mean to be deprived of the benefits o.
hospital care.

SHARK, TO FURNISH LEATHER
investigation Has Shown That Skin OF

Although the personal popularity OF
sharks is not likely soon to increase.
their existence will be more compla-
Gently accepted If the work already
done through the agency of the United
States government continues its prog
ress toward proving sharkskin good
substitute for leather. The effort was
begun in 1915. and II has been shown
that the skin of a shark can be tanned
by newly discovered processes with
result much like superior grade Of
leather. Commercial tanneries are be-
ginning to turn out the product. Shoes
made Of 1t are being worn; and. like
the pig. of which everything is utilized

found generous in by-products. The

1t has been the inhexible custom in
the imperial family Of Japan. says
writer in East anG West News, to
withhold all newspapers and maya
zines from it's me,,bers 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 a spe-
cially prepared journal.
This curious newspaper was edited
by an official of TIE imperial house

How BRIDGES Breathe.

must be built to withstand them. or
perish.

appreciably longer than it is in winter,
andNat various times Of the year 1t
may be longer on one side than on the
other. as when hot sun plays on one
flank. and a cold wind on the other.
The "breathings apparatus" Of a
bridge consists Of rollers under the
feet at one end so that the end can
move to and fro freely according to
the expansion and contraction of the
huge Orders.
Provision is made in the case Of the
Forth bridge for as much as two feet

PAYS TO STAY IN SCHOOL
Fact Shown In Dollars and Cents BY
Figures Compiled BY bureau OF
Education.

The value Of staying at school Is
stated in dollars and cents in figures
recently compiled by the bureau OF
education and distributed to boys and
girls throughout the country by the
children's bureau.
From a study Of large number
Of actual cases It has been found that
ut twenty-five years of age the boy
who remained in school until he was
eighteen had received $1,000 more sal
airy than the boy who left school al
fourteen, and that. the better-educated
youth was then receiving more thar
$500 year more In pay.
''This is equivalent to an Investment
Of $4,000 at 5 per cent" the state
ment said. "Can boy increase hi
capital as fast In any other way?
From this time on thA salary o
the educated boy will rise still
more rapidly while the earnings of tn
boy who left school at fourteen will
increase but little"
