To Be Observed

out being ILL.," DIR. AdamsOn said.
''We invite the public to come and
visit us. We want to show them
the beds, the diet kitchens, the
modern sanitary equipment and
all the other things about the
two hospitals in Douglas We are
proud of our hospitals, and we
want people here to appreciate
them"
DR.. Adamson explained that May
and hospital day are of great sig
nificance to all persons Connected with
hospital work. May, he said is a de-
rivation from Latin meaning great
er. Therefore, it is considered appro-
pirate that Hospital day come in this
month
"To hospital people, May is a
month of great signifance," DR.. ADJ
amson said. LESS than 60 years ago
there were hardly SO hospitals in
the entire United States. Today, the
number runs far into the thousands.
The Latin root meaning greater ap-
plies to the hospital field apparent
ly, more surely than to the month
of May.
"The public in general has little
conception of the innmensity of this
hospital field, of the billion OF dol
lars invested in it, the hundreds of
thousands of people who devote their
lives to it's service, and the millions
of people who pass each year through
hospital portals.
"Too many people entertain the no.
ton that q hospital is a cold, unirl-
viting barn where the food is punk
month of May has provided Hospital
and the service is punker So the
day as a definite time in which the
day on the hospitals of the var
public attention can be centered for
ious communities for people to see
what they are like and what they
are doing"
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-05-11

there is every indication that the show
will be we'll worth the price OF
admission.
Those patronizing the show also will
have the satisfaction of knowing they
are contributing to very worthy
cause for relief of suffering humanity.
A special picture, sBardley's the Mag
nificent," )" has been secured. There also
will be comedy and one reel of screen
snapshots.

Armstrong, baritone, has volunteered
to sing both nights. 1t is probable that
Frances Larson and Joe Henderson
will give Scotch dance as part of the
high schools contribution to the pro-
gram. 1t was announced that the
high school mixed chorus will sing
Friday night. Mrs. G. E. Piper presi-
dent of the Music club, is trying to
complete arrangements for other musi-
cal talent, she reported. Mrs. John r.
Newcomer and Mrs. C. E. Pettingal will
be asked to sing duet.
Those in charge of arranging the
program are making every effort to
avoid engaging too much talent. 1t is
the aim of the management that the
program will be good but not too long.

(COntlnueQ from rage One)
Nearly fifteen bodies were revealed
today as tireless workers con1bed the
bricks and timbers for missing per-
sons known to have been in the
RACED buildings.
The Red Cross estimated $50 were
injured, more than 100 seriously. Dr..

and lighthouse keepers all along the
shores of the maritime provinces are
trying to find the airrnen and to rem
der them aid. The Canadian marine
department. announced this afternoon
that it was without advice on the
French filters from any source.
Nungesser stoutly maintained before
the start that if the white Bird" was
forced down it would remain afloat
indefinitely" With lightened oil tanks,
the plane, its fuselage built of wood,
might endure for some time unless
buffeted by stormy seas. Whether
Nungesser, with his limbs braced by
metal because of injuries sustained in
his air duels in the war, could long
withstand the f1anlrnering of the waves
before aid arrived is gravely doubted.
A representative of the American
embassy today visited the French for
eign office regarding feeling shown
against Americans and the circulation
of rumors that American weather re-
ports had resulted in misleading the
French aviators. The French officials
said that measures would be taken to
stop the circulation of these rumors.
PARIS, May 10 lR.-The people of
France spent day of deep anxiety
over the fate of the aviators Nun
gesser and Coli when there is no news
whatever tonight.
The sad realization set in upon the
French today that they had made a
carnival celebration over what may be
a tragedy and what certainly has been
a failure.
The nerves of the nation were sub
jected to all the various emotions in
the past "a hours suspense, expecta-
ton, general delirious joy, then doubt,
stupor, disappointment, disillusion-
ment and subsequently anger and Bit
terness.
Accusations, denials, explanations
and recrininations fill the columns of
today's newspapers and no small part
