SURGEONS COLLEGE
LAUDS HOSPITAL
George Washington University
Commended for Methods by
Noted Experts After Survey.

Dr. william Cline Borden, dean OIL
George Washington University Medi-
cal School and head of the univer-
sity's hospital, has received word
from the American College OF Sur
geons. which has just made a survey
Of 692 hospitals in the United States
and Canada that the university hos
pital is one OF the 37T institutions
which received the stamp of approval.
Nearly half of the hospitals inves-
tigated were denied approval be-
cause OF lax methods and failure to
safeguard properly the interests OF
patients.
EXTENSIVE SURVEY.
The survey. the most extensive
ever made in the country. included
every general hospital in the United
States and Canada, having more than
100 beds. The list of approved hos
pitfalls is based upon the funda mental
fitness of the institutions to give
proper care to patients.
In these approved hospitals" says
John c.. Bowman. director of the col
lege. in a formal report on the sur
vey, "tho doctors have created for
themselves clear-cut policy which

record of what is done for the pa

ment of patients: and third. regular

safeguard the patient against error
in diagnosis, against lax or lazy
edical treatment, against unneces-
sary surgical operations or operations
by unskilled surgeons. 1t aims to
bring to every patient, however,
humble, the highest service known to
the profession"
The journal Modern Hopital~ COM
menting upon the hospital survey,
says: 1.-The hospitals that have been
are to be congratulated
upon their enterprise and their con-
effort in meeting the stand
ards OF the college. The appearance
of their names on the list may be
taken as an indication OF their will
ingness to protect the right OF their
patients to be well.
"In this connection IL may also be
said that when hospitals are in need
of support from the community they
have the right to go to their chamber
of commerce and say: 1--WE ar doing
our part to serve the community ef-
nciently, as evidenced by the fact
that our names appear on the list of
hospitals of the American
College of Surgeons, and we ask for
your support in our efforts to secure
the funds needed to carry on our
work acccptably.'

Pretty Actress Called Upon for HaZ-
.ardous Feat in Scene in

most thrilling experience of her young

opposite Houdini, the famous self
iiberator and stunt king. in his latest

Thursday, Miss Lee realized it was
likely to prove rather strenuous
time for her. 1t was.
The climax came when she was di-
rected to get into a safe, have it
securely locked. and be thrown into
the ocean. Houdini was to dive in
after her and release her. Miss Lee
bravely went through with the pro-
gram, but admitted afterward that
she confdentl yeXpected her hair to
be white when she was safe on dry
land again.
Terror Island" is a thrilling story
of love and adventure that offers
Houdini ample opportunities to per-
form many Of the underwater feats
for which he is famous and several
super -thrillers that he has never be-
fore attempted. The story was writ
ten by Arthur E. Reeve and John w
Grey and adapted to the screen by
Walter Woods. James CruZe directed
the picture.
