KAHN PHYSIATRIC
INSTITUTE OPENED
DR.. +. NJ. Allen Inaugurates
Hospital Offering Aid TO
Rich and Poor.
INTENDED FOR RESEARCH
Located on Former Estate Of
Otto III. Kahn at Norris
town, n. j.

The Physiatric Institute for tire in
vestigation and treatment of diabetes
and metabolic disorders was formally
open yesterday at the former country
estate of Otto III, Kahn a Morristown.
n. j. 1t is the only establishment of
the sort on the continent and under the
direction of DR.. Frederick NJ. Allen, who
has for years made this field his sps
cialty. scientific and philanthropic treat
ment Is TO he Offered to patients in all
degree OF financial circumstances.
Before the war Americans OF the
more affluent class who suffered from
metaholic disorders flocked annually by
the thousands to German resorts TO take
the baths. These pilgrimages, checked
by the war. are unlikely ever 10 be re-
sumed to the same extent, for American
therapeutic advances are now said by
physicians to have made the German
treatment an anachronism.
The main building OF DR.. Aliens es-
tablishment is about 500 feet above sea
level and affords a charming view or
the estates Of 200 acres of woodland,
lawns gardens and farm lands There
Is a private lake. an eighteen hole goir
course and tennis courts. But the es-
sential service OF the institution depends
upon it's diet kitchen, laboratories and
other provisions for accurate scientific
treatment and investigation. Individual
cases will be studied to determine the
proper diet to keep the disorder ui,ier
as thorough control as possible. Each
patient will be instructed so that the
treatment can be continued at nome,
either alone or under the supervision of
the family physician.
One Of the most important purposes
OF the Institute Is to be scientific re-
search. There are said to be over 500,-
COO sufferers from diabetes in the United
States to-day. and the number OF cases
OF kidney disease. high blood pressure
and arteriosclerosis is much greater.
This class of diseases has been of tho
least understood and most neglected in
medical science, but the investigation of
DIR. Allen and of DIR. F. p. Joslyn of
Boston, brought great advances in
knowledge md treatment.
At the formal opening of the Institute
Yesterday papers were read by both DR..
Allen and DR. Joslyn. The other speak
ers were DR.. Henry S. Pritchett. presi-
dent Of the Carnegie Foundation, and
DR. David C. English editor of the New
Jersey Medical Journal
Included among the organizers and
supporters of the institute are Charles
r. Hughes. Secretary of State: Balm

STEAMER ST. JOHNS.

The usual weekend trips OF the
steamer st. Johns to Colonial Beach
carried capacity crowds again Satur-
day and Sunday.
AS usual, dancing came In for its
share of popularity. the jazzy strains
from Sokolove's orchestra proving is.
resistable to a large number of those
who love to take advantage of a good
floor and snappy music.
Fishing and grabbing also had its
great numbers of devotees, as this is
a sport that thrives particularly well
at Colonial Beach.
The forty-mile moonlight run of the
st. Johns was likewise well patronized
last night, as Washingtonians know
the breezes from the Potomac can take
the fatigue away from the hottest
day. Added pleasure was given to the
ride by the splendid performance of
the Sokolove orchestra.

GLEN ECHO PARK.

The musical programs being offered
by Oehman's orchestra Of nine Joyous

for attracting dancers to Glen Echo
Park. The great open-air ballroom,
swept by cooling breezes. provides an
ideal spot in which to dance in perfect
comfort. Strict regulation of the man
agement prevents the introduction of
any features to which even the most
captious might object.
Scores of other diversions, includ-
ing the six big JOY rides over the me-
chanical devices that compare favor
ably with those possessed by any re-
sort on the coast. and the manifold
amusements Of the giant midway, also
draw their full quota of patronage.
