Dauby of Cleveland was elected presi-
dent Of the Hospital. Mr.. Dauby is the

having secured this splendid man as

THE JEWISH ORPHANS HOME,
NEW ORLEANS, LA.

The Jewish Orphans Home in New
Orleans is the pet institution Of the
the B'nai Birth. It was established
something like sixty years ago and
its history is a glowing tribute to
Southern Jewry and one Of progress
and advancement from year to year.
Records have been kept Of the boys
and girls leaving the home and In
every case they prove a credit TO the
institution In which they were reared.
All Of the children who have left the
home are doing well and In great
many instances have achieved dis
tinction and honor In the communities
in which they live.
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1921-04-29

The B'nai Birth has every reason
now, as in the past, to feel proud Of
the home. The children in it receive
the best of care physically, and are
surrounded by the best influences
morally. Under the effective guild
ance Of Superintendent Dr.. Leon VOL
mer and his staff, the home has pro-
gressed. In the field Of education, the
children have an advantage nowhere
else enjoyed by any orphanage in this
country. In the educational advan'
tages offered them in attending an
ideal school such as he Isadore New
man Manual Training School, we
have reason to congratulate our
selves.

TOURO INFIRMARY

During the year 1916 there were
an average Of 527 patients treated
daily in the New Orleans) Touro In
Urinary, of whom 41S were treated in
the free departments, Al in the part
pay wards, and 81 in the private
rooms. This alone should give fair
idea Of the proportion that exists be-
tween patients who are either entire
ly or partially gratuitously, and those
who are permitted to pay for the ben
efits received. OF course even the in
come from the pay patients goes to-
wards paying for the treatment adj
ministered to those in the free de-
partments.
There were $4,000 patients in the
free clinics, the number Of visits dur
ing the year in the clinics totalling
96,312. II Touro Infirmary did moth
ing else than support as its great
charitable work its outdoor clinic, it
would well justify its existence and
the support which It so literally re-
ceives from the B'ani Birth.
In addition, there were over 10000
prescriptions filled for clinic pa
tents, at prices ranging from five to
twenty cents, in the apothecary main
tanned by the institution for the ben
eft Of free patients.
There were recently opened at the
Touro Infirmary night pay clinics to
meet the requirements Of the middle
lower classes who are not strictly ell
igible for free clinical attention, and
who yet cannot afford to pay regular
doctors fees. These clinics are only
in their incipiency, but they promise
to fill long felt want in the COM
munity.
During the year just closed, as we
have mentioned, there were several
very munificent gifts received by the
Touro Infirmary notably the gift
from Mrs. Henry Newman Of the sum
Of $4,000 towards the erection Of
suitable buildings for the clinics, and
from Mr.. E. W. Minte Of the sum Of
$4,000 for the same purpose.
Mr.. E. v. Benjamin, President Of
the Infirmary and whose generosity
has been made known in other direc-
tio,sn has also donated $4,000 to-
wards that same purpose.

LEO M. LEVI MEMORIAL HOS
P!iAL

At the convention Of the Order neld
in 1905 it was resolved that the Con-
stitution Grand Lodge endorse and
support the movement TO establish a
Ssnitarium at Hot Springs Ark.
At the last convention of the Order
the recommendation Of the commit
tee on Charitable Institutions was
unanimously adopted, directing "that
upon the presentation to and approval
by the Executive Committee Of the Or
der satisfactory plan or organiza-
ton Of the Hot Springs Sanitarium at
Hot Springs, Ark, the Executive
Committee is hereby directed to ap-
propriate towards its support an an
nual sum not exceeding ten cents for
each member of Districts / to z, in
elusive, said sum to be paid annually
during the ensuing five years so long
as the Executive Committee Of the
Order may deem its assistance q de-
sirable and necessary help"
District Grand Lodge No. z there
after appointed special committees
with a view Of raising funds for the
erection of a Sanitarium at Hot
Springs, Ark, to be known as the Leo
N. Levi Memorial Hospital.
A committee representing all the
American districts with Brother Emil
Nathan as Chairman, was appointed
to raise funds wherewith to build the
hospital. The committee succeeded in
securing over 100000 sufficient for
the purpose.
The Levi N. Levi Memorial Hosp.
tai was opened in November /, 1914,
and has a capacity Of sixty beds. It is
non-sectarian and is absolutely char
liable insofar as it admits no pay pa
tients. during the past year, the Hos
pital took care Of TAO patients, and a
total Of 1900 since its opening. In ad-
dition the Hospital conducts a free
clinic which has become United
States Public Health Service Clinic,
which gave treatment during the past
year to 5025 people who paid the
Hospital 40,962 visits. It will be seen
that the Hospital is thus growing ire
mendously and is extending its benef-
icence to thousands Of people every
year. The Hospital was erected under
the auspices Of the Independent Order
B'nai Birth and was named after Leo
N. Levi who was one Of the most no.
ted leaders Of that organization. He
was a native Of Texas and had spent
the greater part in Of his life in Dis
trict No. z. The Hospital is national
in character and is supported to some
extent by nearly every district Of the
Order. In addition to the support Civ
en- the Hospital by the B'nai Birth,
the hospital received contributions
from individuals and organizations.
The Council Of Jewish Women Is also
taking a very active part in the work
Of the Hospital. It Is the hope Of the
Leo. N. Levi Memorial Hospital to add
q new building in the course Of the

sURFEIT OF WATER In
PROJECTS STORAGE UNITS

If there is a single thing in which
people in this valley take a surpas-
sing pride that exceeds their satis-
faction in their climate and farm
land soils it is the water supply with
out which neither would be potent.
For a week the surface of Lake La
hontan has been stationary and 1t Is
believed that the next few days will
witness a turn in events wherein the
recession of the surface of the La
hontan supply will commence, to
continue throughout the remainder
of the season.
Despite the fact that the growing
period is now we'll along, the supply
OF stored water remains at the max
imum mark of 266,000 acre feet,
the Carson and Truckee rivers send
ing IA flows that have sufficed to
meet all project irrigation demands
and in addition to fill the void occa-
stoned by evaporation at the artifi-
cial lake.
II is believed that something like
10000 acre feet of water will be
carried over at Lahontan for uses
next year and this would save this
valley from drouth if next winter
went by without precipitation. How
ever, this would be a meteorological
impossibility and anything like a
normal snowfall in the mountains
next year will more than fill the
reservoir for the first time since it
was completed in 1915.
Just now the stored supply is
within 8 OF foot of the big dam S
spillways, yet the hopes that had
been entertained that water would
pour over into the great pool below
has been abandoned by project au-
thorities who have charge of hydro
graphic matters on behalf of the wa
ter-users.
Lake Tahoe. too, like its artifie-
ial contemporary in the desert, has
a larger storage than during last
last season and has attained a max
imum of Z of a foot in excess of the
high mark for 1920. This may
seem to mean little until it is known
that each one-tenth of foot of wat
er in Lake Tahoe at its approximate
normal surface spells an added
storage to the amount of $4,000 acre
feet Thus there is in the great
mountain lake at this time $4,000
acre feet of water in excess of last
years maximum which means that
the Fernley, Hazen and Swingle
Bench districts will enjoy an ampli-
tude of irrigation water this season.
Let other districts praise virtues
Of different kinds but when il comes
to life-giying water season after
season pass the palm to the New
lands project.
