The Hospital Fund.

The increasing use which the peo-
pie of New York make OF their hos
pitfalls is strikingly evident in statis-
tics included in the forty-third
annual report of the United Hospital
Fund. At the time OF It's organiza-
tion In 1879 eighteen hospitals con-
stituted its members. Only one per-
son to 225 OF the city's population
went TO these hospitals.
In 1921 the fund had as members
fifty-eight of the leading hospitals.
In that year their patients numbered
one to every thirty in the population
OF the city. Altogether the hospitals
in this group treated l95,2S1 patients
in wards and rooms IN 1921. The
average period Of treatment was NJ
teen days. One person TO every ten
in the population was treated at the
dispensaries operated By the mem
bers Of the fund.
The general health OF the popula-
tion is better to-day than 1t was in
1879, but every year greater demands
are made on the hospitals. 1t has
taken years for the public to under
stand that better care for the, sick
and the injured can be had in a hos
pital than in the average home.
The hospitals that are members Of
the United Hospital Fund perform a
great service for the people of New
York in caring for sick and injured
persons. The hospitals in the fund
now appeal for support from the
public they serve. The money they
need should be Forthcoming.

New York, March 10-Twenty- five seniors in Columbia College under graduate school for men at Coium- bia University, admitted in a ques- tfonnaire, results of which were made public yesterday. that they have been drinking since the Vo1stead Act went into effect but that they never did, before. Twenty-six members of the class drank before prohibition, to 77 who did not, while 51 drank after prohibition to 5 who did not.
 A majority of the senior indulge in 'tpettfng'' believe the term Hap per- Is uncomp1ifn fnentary to a girl and that goloshes do not appeal to sense of good taste.
 Only 2S out of 100 seniors believe that present day smoking, rouging dressing and dancing on the part of the fair sex are signs of decadent womanhood. Thirty-eight gave it as their opinion that girls on the cam pus are a disturbing factor.
 Five members of the class after almost four years in college have decided that a college education is not worth while. one out of 300 chose Journalism as a profession Law Jed in the chofc eof those about to go out into tn eworId, with engineering a close second.
