The people of Alaska are urged
to join in the observance of National

a short statement issued today by
Gov. George A. Parks. Every resi-
dent of the Territory should be par
ticularly interested in the work OF

In Juneau, as Is customary, both st.

pital will be open to the public. A..
the former institution arrangements
are being made to present fitting
program which will be announced
later.
In his statement today Gov. Parks
said
National Hospital Day will be Oh.
served throughout America on Thurs
day, May IL, 1927. On this day all
hospitals will be open for inspection
and people are requested to visit
the Institutions and familiarizc them
selves with the humanitarian work
of those who are in charge.
"The event marks the anniversary

mixture of beer and sparkling lemo-
made is also a favorite.
Tea, which was almost unknown
here few years ago, has now be-

dies who have even changed their
Spanish word, "merienda," to "five

Tea-time, however, in Spain, is
usually about the hour when many
Americans sit down to their eve
ming meal, midway between the
three o'clock luncheon and nine o..
clock dinner. For this is one OF
the first things the traveller learns
upon arriving. Hours for meals are
about two or three hours later than
in other countries. It all comes
out the same in the end although
the early riser is likely to find the
time long before the midday meal.
