arriving about two weeks ago. A
week ago, he suffered an attack Of
acute indigestion, but was evidently
recovering when he suffered a re-
lapse Monday, the end coming late
in the afternoon.
Haynes started work on his horse
less carriage in the kitchen OF his
little home It Kokomo with a gas
cline engine he had bought from a
Grand Rapids factory.
Horse Too Slow
He conceived the idea of a me-
chancally propelled vehicle while he
was superintendent Of a natural gas
company and was forced to make
long rides behind a slow horse and
buggy. He constructed a frame
for the engine and mounted it or
the running gears of a buggy.
In July, 1894, Haynes had his
automobile towed out into the coun-
try behind a horse and buggy. At
a level place he cast off the tow
rope and cranked the engine. 1t
sputtered and coughed. But Haynes
got in the car, took hold Of the many
levers, and the machine moved off
jerkily and with uncertain vibration.
Gradually 1t gained confidence. until
it reached a speed Of eight miles an
hour and chugged its inventor back
to kokomo. A monument has been
erected on the spot since.
That car today is in the Smith
sonian Institution at Washington,
u. c.. as the first auto in the
United States.
Haynes was flushed with success
and Immediately started plans that
resulted in organization Of the
Haynes Automobile Company.
Haynes made the first thousand
mile auto trip in the United States,
driving from Kokomo to New York.
Famed M~etalurgist
Haynes was actively engaged in
manufacturing and improving auto

went on. And there are always
students going through the corridor.
In the new surgery I would have
three separate corridors-one for
nudses. one for students and a third
for patients"
Although the lighting appeared all
right to the layman's eye, DR.. Nafe
said it was not adequate for opera
tions.
Because Of defects In the steriliza.
ton equipment, in a special room,
the steam escapes so that in this
room even more OF the plaster has
come off than in the others.
There is a sterilizer in the tonsil
room, too. 1t should not be there,
- Nafe said, but there is no place
elsN Ior 1t.
On busy mornings, the doctors
have a hard time keeping clean,
in the one scrub room," with three
lavatories.
My next trip was to the Metho-
dist Hospital. adequately equipped
to handle its operatiosn, which
totaled 1917 last year, according Ia
Miss Martha MacDougall, surgery
superintendent.
The long corridor had a compost
ton floor which deadened sound, and
its walls showed hardly a crack. The
four major surgeries were equipped
with Stedman r~ubberizer floors.
Lighting was excellent. with clus-
ters Of blue lights giving a daylight
effect.
Across the corridor were four ton
sill rooms. The two anesthetic rooms
also can be used for tonsil opera
tons If necessary.
There Is an %orthopedic room, q
steam room ell equipped for steri
lization, and behind it a large work
room where materials are prepared
two Mushrooms for dotcors and
nurses, and a shower and locker
room for doctors.
The makeshift equipment Of the
city hospital was more apparent
after this second visit.

NEW YORK, April 14.-Industrial
shares displayed a relative buyoant
tone in the early dealings on the
stock exchange today, retaining In
dications shown yesterday of con
siderable improvement in the mar
ket's internal situation. American
Sugar continued its rapid advance
reaching new high ground for the
year at Tx up 4 points from yester-
days low. General Motors was in
urgent demand moving up fraction
ally to 71%. A good bit Of
irregularity, however, characterized
the list as a whole and was most
marked in the oils and motor groups.
Stocks continued to give salts
factory account Of themselves around
noon, despite the conviction in spec
.ulative community that the recov-
NY had reached a point where a
gtback might be in order. This
feeling caused considerable selling
in the late morning, which gave the
general list an opening to demon
strate that the line Of least re-
sistance strongly favored the up
side.
