Ell presente movimiento tiene un orI-
gen evolutivo que data de varios amos.

siempre palpando las necesidades hos
pitalarias, ayudados y estimulados por
otro grupo de caballeros que aunque no
perteneeientes a la profession m6dica re
conocen la necesidad de un hospital de
esta fndole.
Esta primera agrupacion forma la
asociaci6n actual, Y empezado el no.
vinaiento iran surgiendo los amigos de
la idea hasta lograr su realizaci6n.

ganizaci6n distinta a los demas hospi-

UNA GRAN INSTITUTION
Ell HOSPITAL BETANCES

objeto que no sea la fabrication v eqni-
po del hospital.
Para dar una idea del funcionamien-
to en- los Estados Unidos de hospitales
de la clase que sera el- Hospital Betan-
ces, tomamos los siguientes datos del
journal de la Association Medica Ame-
ricana de 12 de enero de 1924.
Los hospitales en- los Estados Un1-
dos son mantenidos por distintas agen-
cias, como Ell gobterno federal de esta-
do, condado municipal, y por agen-
cias no gubernativas como sectas re-
ligiosas, 6rdenes fraternales, industrias,
individuales, asociaciones locales "
otras organizaciones miscelaneas y cor
poraciones. La proportion mayor de
hospitales Sc encuentra controlada por
los gobiernos de los estados. La ,capa-
cidad de camas de hospitales mantenl-
dos por el gobierno constituye ell SO. 40
de la capacidad de camas en- los Es-
tados Unidos, pero debe tenerse en-
cuenta que tai capacidad ,incluye Ia
mayoria de instituciones para el cul-
dado de casos incurables y cronicos y
en- su mayoria insolventes. De los
$3.50 hospitales on los Estados Unidos,
5,094, sea Ell 1860 estan sostenidos
por agencias no gubernativas. Estos
tienen solo 2SS,774 camas sea Ell
1880 de la capacidad total. Entire los
hospitales que no son mantenidos por
q gobierno, hay 2,196 o sea Ell 1920
cue son mantenidos por asociaciones
Independence que no henen por obje-
to I'm benefcio pecuniario. Esta clase
de hospitales suman un total de capa-
c;dad de 14o,341 camas.
No es solo el pobre ell que no puede,
nj debe en- muchas ocasiones ser trata-
do en- su casa, sino tambien Ell rico y
Ell de mediana posici6n. Las ventajas
Que ofrecen hoy dfa los adelantos de
Ia ciencia no pueden uevarse la prac-
tica mas que en-. Las instituciones due
a esta ciencia Sc dediquen. Las dis
tintas ralas de la ciencia medlca han
rrogresado tanto, que es humanamente
impossible que un hombre solo pueda
abarcarlas todas a la vez, y Sc hace i'm
periosa La necesidad de La union de
varios hombres que Sc ccmplementen
unos a los otros; esta es la idea de La

T.R. AND AFRICAN GUIDE
Restored Mans Injured Reputation B, Hiring Him for ExueditiOn.

Restored Mans Injured Reputation By
 Hiring Him for Expedition.
 !. When Roosevelt was getting ready : for his African trip various sportsmen friends, as matter of course, volun- steered suggestions.
 "When you get to Nairobi," said one "a Mir. Blank, happy-go-lucky, care 2 lesso prosperous chap, who had dived in- to the jungle and out again two years before whatever you do, don't hire a guide by the name of W. He. is capable enough, but, not trustworthy" ' The; day Roosevelt reached Nairobi he inquired about this particular guide. ! He, sent for the repudiated guide and tgot his side of thesstory.
 Just as Roosevelt had divined, it was mountain made out of a molehill. The E sdamning word dropped by Mir. Blank . without warrant had Left stark misery in its wake for the guide. After that he could get DO employment from any < hunter who came to Nairobi.
 Roosevelt heard all this. By way of rejoinder he smashed his itinerary. He rearranged it over night to include ten days expedition never before dreamed of in that section of the country. He hired the Nairbi guide to take entire . charge of the trip. D When the expedition got back in scheduled time Nairbi's housetops heard from Roosevelt. He said: That guide is the most intelligent, the most industri- ous, the most reliable and the most satisfactory guide have ever seen."
 The rehabilitation of the wounded man dated from this utterance and this act of RooseveIt's. Again the man be- came sought after by hunters.-Mil- .waukee Journal.

FISH STORY
 HAS PROOF OF VERIFY.

III ERE'S fish story that's
 It is being offered to the pub lie as true,. anyway, and the evi- dence is on display, so 1t must be. .
 It's the one about the largest small-mouth bass ever to be caught in this section of the country. In these days of superlatives and of shattering of old records, such ex- pressions as 'best ever," largest ever" and the like have become com mon.
 No one having come forward to dispute. the claim, however, repre- sentatives of the B. NJ. Chenoweth company, dealers in sporting goods, maintain their argument that the fish, now, in cold storage in front of their store, is the largest of its kind ever caught in this section.
 A placard above the exhibit tells that the fish was caught in Queens town lake by Harry Hood and with live minnows. It weighs exactly F pounds, the placard says, and if the skeptical refuse to believe this as-y sertion, the piscatorial exhibit. will be placed in a scale and publicly weighed.
 If anyone else ever has caught larger small.mouth bass ins these parts tell the management about it, but let him bring his proof with him. x

John W. Davis of West Virginia and Gov. Charles W. Bryan of Nebraska, who will carry the democratic stand ard in the, forthcoming presidential campaign, are personally known to many Birmingham, citizens.
 MT. Davis visited the city for a day in the early part of 1922 while acting as attorney for the sixth district fed eral reserve bank in the celebrated. par clearance case. He won the Case,
 Governor, Bryan was boyhood play mate of City Building Inspector J. D. Spencer. Their families were neigh bors near Salem, Ill, for number of years. -..s y.. ~
 "F'm fond of Charlie and believe he is a winner" said Mfr. Spencer, we were great friends back in the good old days. used to play with his brother Billy too, -and still remember those jean rompers he wore.
 Charlie cid not have the educa- tional advantages of his older brother, but he made the. most of every oppor- tunity that came his way. He is, in my judgment, one of the best men in the country"
 Mir. Spencer, who. for years has been q close student of national politics, predicts that the democratic ticket viii win this, fall.

SURVEY ORDERED l
 ON 1ST AVENUE
Revenue Board May Re
 verse Decision Regard ing Parking

s Confronted by a storm of protest, which is scheduled to reach a climax at an indignation meeting in East Lake Tuesday night, the board of revenue paved the way Friday for reversal of it's decision in the First avenue paving project. Claude Rogers, county engineer, was ordered to conduct traffic survey on Sunday and, after counting the number of automobiles that traverse the avenue, make recommendations as to whether a 15-foot strip of pavement on each side of the street car tracks would be ade- quate. Rogers also was asked to pre- pare cost estimates for curb-to-curb pavement.
 This action led to belief that the at it's Tuesday session would consider Rogers report and then vote to recon slider its previous action. By staging flop" at this meeting, the board would automatically end plans for the ildig- nation meeting called by East Lakers for Tuesday night.
 Special invitations to attend the mass meeting will be sent Lacey Edmondson, D. 0. Ball, w.. B. yGopeland and Jere Gwin, the board members who voted against carrying out the original plan to pave the entire width of the avenue.
 ID. B. McLendon, city, commission president, announced he would attend the mass gathering if it is held. How ever, he and his colleagues. were confi- dent the county body would vote Tues day to carry out in, toto the original agreement with the city. .a
 A'majority of the members of the in. coming board of revenue, whicrh takes office in January, have announced they would immediately proceed to pave the entire width. of tine avenue in case the present board failed to carry out its
