MeAfdtomsimthamfa hmth h
Nethodisn, says Rev. w. c. Poole,
writing in the Baltimore Sun, covers
territory more associated with early
Methodist history in America than the
Wilmington Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. Covering as II does
the small area of the Eastern Shore OF
MAINLAND and the State of, Delaware.
il serves a population of about 100000
people and 1000 square miles OF terri
tory. To complete the decimal system
over 10000 members belong TO the
Methodist Episcopal churches served by
il. while perhaps the other branches of
Methodism have some 10000 Communi-
cant members. That is. 1000 square
miles OF territory have over 10000 COM
uunicants OF the Methodist Episcopal
church in a population Of about 100000.
Another feature OF the population IS that
II is not double that of 130 years ago at
the first census in 1890.
Probably no part OF the country was
better developed in the days Of Asbury
than this territory, which he termed his
preacher garden, in which he was rails
ing his preachers. The ninth college in
America was in this territory IN his day

Of this territory across the Susquehanna

1ueTS IS an increase or 405 per cent, in April over October.
 Points to Think About
 A hospital runs 24 hours out of 24. Night nurses eat their dinner at midnight. Cooks and servers must be on hand Telephone operators, also must be on duty all night.
 The engine room must run on three shifts.
 Babies have a way of being born at o'clock in the morning and sick people often have difficulty in sleep ing between the hours of and 1 a. n- We must be as pleasant in the wee small hours as at 10 o'clock in the morning. Is this difficult or not ? Bridgeport hospital is ready, day and night, to extend service to you to your family and friends and more over, we are all of us eager for the opportunity to be of real service Every problem in this hospital is solved on this basis: What is best for the patients?
 Slogan
 The best doctors for our hospitals The best service for our patients. The best hospitals in the state for Bridgeport.

Rotarians
 Entertained At
 Local Hospital

Several members of the Rotary club made a tour of inspection of the Bridgeport hospital yesterday as guests of Superintendent Dr. John F. BreSnahan-
 A luncheon, the same as partaken by the nurses, was served the Rotar- ians. Divided into squads of ten, they were shown throughout the inStitu- tiOn and impressed by the systematic mana cement. Particular interest was shown in the X-ray and radium de- partments, where Dr. w. A. 1aField demonstrated the way in which radi- um is used in the treatment of can cer, the local hospital having the fin est radium equipment in the state.
 The hospital authorities in antici- patton of the visit prepared the fol- lowing statement of statistics of the institution:
 Bridgeport Hospital
 Hospital chartered in 1878.
 Training school for nurses organ ized in 1884.
 Normal acity-275 beds, of which 235 are for adults and 40 for babies
 There is space available and equipment stored and ready for 100 additional beds in case of emergen- cies, such as the disasters or epidem- ics which at times occur in large cities.
 There are accommodations for 66 private patients.
 In March, 1921, ,61 babies were born in the hospital. In April, there were 67 babies born and in May. up to May Is, there were A born in the hos pita1.
 The state pays for each patient sent to the hospital by the state authorizes S4 per week.
 The city pays for each patient sent to the hospital by city authori- ties. SS.75 per week.
 The United States public health ser vice pays for each patient sent to the hospital by the United States public health authorities, S21 per week
 The ward rate, for patients sent to the hospital by doctors, to go on general service, is S14 per week.
 The cost per week of caring for each patient is S26. It is easy to see. therefore, that the more patients we care for. the greater the deficit
