Elevator Service for Each
Group of Hospital Wards

The hospital wards and utilities locat-
ed in the comfortable midship space of the
ship where there may be the least amount
of pitch. There is a forward and after
group with elevator service for each group.
The second deck is the connecting passage,
so that there is access by stretcher between
the hospital departments without going into
the weather. In this manner such special
rooms as the X-ray ROOM operating rooms,
hydrotherapeutic dressing rooms, &C., are
available from all parts of the ship. The
typical ward consists of standees of berths
which may be banked ia two tiers as
single berths. All berths are detachable, so
that a patient may be handled if necessary
without taking him from the berth, and are
accessible Ii necessary from both sides.
These berths are wider than the usual ship
berths The ready adjustability of the
berths is calculated TO promote easy han
ding of the sick
The heads of all patients are in the direc-
ton OF shear. or the slant Of the deck
i'm the fore and aft direction. and this very
necessary requirement Of having all heads
forward is taken advantage of in the ar
rangement of the lighting. Because the
overhead decks of a ship, or ceilings, are
low and because the sick lie on their backs
looking upward, special care has to be taken
to keep the light from shining in the pa
tents eyes. AS all heads are directed for
ward it is only necessary to place the lights
I'm such position that they will be over the
core and aft aisles and a little forward of
the athwartship aisles and thsn put a
screen on the forward side OF each light.
This results in light free from all those
disturbances of shining directly into the
eyes.
At each berth there Is d portable com
fort or utility light which may be used by
the patient for reading. This light may also
be used for such purposes as examining the
throat doing a dressing, &c. The standing
night lights are placed near the ward exits
ana placed low well below the bed level
where they may light the floor only and not
be a disturbing factor
The wards are exceently equipped both
for natural and artificial ventilation. The
Ar supplied the wards Is first heated by
thermo tanks and then forced into the
ward spaces. Accessory TO each OF the wards
are such rooms as baths and washrooms
linen rooms pantries and quiet rooms"
The decks OF the ship are wide aud spacious
and are provided with fittings To care for
100 Or more swinging cots.
On the main deck near the gangway Is
the 'out patient department" This Is a
group Of rooms which while located con
venient TO all wards by elevator Is likewise
SO located that patients sent from other
ships for special examination or coopera-
not remain aboard as patients may be
cared for without Invading the hospital

patients.
On both the port and starboard sides at
the gangway entrance. are located small
operating rooms dressing rooms. where
the injured may be received and
cleaned before being sent to the wards.
Those hospital ships that served with the
Gallipoli campaign found great need for
rooms of this character. A shipload of pa
tients had to be taken on board often in a
sad condition, dirty from lying exposed one
or more days and the wound often filled
with fly larvae. The British employed more
than forty hospital ships in this campaign,
and some of them had a medical staff of
forty or fifty surgeons.

so-caled hospital ships were used during
the world war-and the United States had
her share of them-they for the most
part improvised from passenger steamers,
and not few of them We're formerly

was perhaps unavoidable that they should
be lacking in many of the facilities that
could be provided on a ship designed and

Second Hospital Ship of Her
Name in the United States Navy

This is the second hospital ship of the
name Relief in the American Navy Her
predecessor of the name served as hospital
ship with the army during the Spanish
American war, and later in the Philippine
insurrection and Boxer uprising In China.
At the time of the cruise of the battle fleet
around the world she was placed in commits
sion with the navy and accompanied the
fleet az far as the Philippines, where she
still remains At present the navy has three
other hospital ships, the Solace. Mercy and
Comfort--all ships OF honorable and efficient
service during the world war, these ships
having been converted from merchant ships
for hospital purposes.
The peculiar appropriateness of the Amer
lean system Of naming naval vessels has
been a matter OF almost universal comment.
While Great Britain struggles with such
ponderous names az "Indefatigable :" In
vincible." "Audacious' and "Insuperable"
and seems constantly in danger of running
out Of superlative adiectives as her navy
expands the United States has followed the
plan adopted some years ago of naming
hattleships after States Of the Union. cruisers
after cities Of America and destroyers after
naval officers and men who have at some
time In their service distinguished them
selves BY conspicuous bravery
During the world war a new class of
names was developed in the bird names"
Of the mine sweepers, examples of which
are Finch, Quail. Pelican Kingfisher. Heron.
Swallow and Lapwing. In naming the new
battle cruisers no particular rule seems TO
have been followed probably because T. was
not expected that that class Of vessels would
become very numerous. The names chosen
were Constellation. Constitution Lexington
Ranger. Saratoga and the United States
The only time, In recent years al least. that
the United states Navy has resorted to the
British practice Of giving ships the name OF
abstract quality is In the case of her hos
pital ships-the Mercy solace, Comfort and
now. the Relief.
In the year 1910 the General Board of
the Navy recommended that hospital ship
he included in the building programme Of
tho navy. II was not until 1916 that Con
gress appropriated the money 10 build one
however The keel was laid TN 1917 but ON
account Of the war construction was sus-
pended and the work begun again in 1919
was not completed until very recently
