DOUBLE DROWNING
 TALE FOUND MYTH
Continued From First Pa gel

false one a telephone call was sent in to headquarters to find if any further calls had been received in relation to the case. None had.
 Finally, as the cars were making one last search of the neighbor- hood, they came upon a group of youngsters who shouted that the youngsters had been found.
 Children Found Safe
 Stopping, the searchers discover ed that Edward and ,Helena Wal. lace, 6 and years, respectively, of South street were the children over whom all the excitement had been raised and were safely held by two older sisters.
 At about this time Mrs. Wallace, the mother of the children, who had been frantically searching about to find some news of the children, came up.
 Relieved, Boxes Their Ears
 As she spied the youngsters, whose faces were smirched with heavy black dirt which loudly pro- claimed the fact that the youngsters had not been near any water within a few hours. a smile spread over her face and to prove that she was ex- tremely happy at again finding her babies safe and sound she soundly Clipped" each of them and sternly commanded them to "come on."
 The first inclination that Mrs. Wallace had had that anything was wrong was when a neighborhood told one of the Wallace children that her brother and sister had been drowned. Upon hearing this shocking news the mother ran to the store of Joseph Genesio on South street where she sent the tele- rhone call that summoned the po- lice to the search.

 APPROVES HOSPITAL
New Britain Institution Again on List Meeting Standards

New Britain General hospital again has been approved by the { American College of Surgeons. ac- cording to a report from the 18th annual hospital standardization con- ference now in session in Philadel- phia.
 Approval by this organization means that hospital must maintain the highest standards of excellence, that it must be fully equipped with the most modern equipment, that its training school for nurses must be of the best and that it must comply with strict requirements relating to virtually every phase of hospital work.
 One of the requirements is that the high standard must be maintain ed at all times, and that regular in- spections be made by committees from the American College of Sur geons. These inspections include a complete survey of the institution and a thorough study of the records of patients and their treatment.
 Another requirement is that sur geons practicing in the hospital must be graduates of recognized schools and that physicians must be grad uates of approved medical schools with a definite standard of efficiency.
 Records of patients cases must be kept. The result of treatment must be discussed in meetings of members of the hospital staff so that physi- clans and surgeons may exchange ideas and get the full benefit of each others training, much the same as in clinics maintained in the larger hospitals which have medical schools. attached.
 According to Dr. Franklin H. Mar tin, director general of the Ameri- can College of Surgeons, deaths from accidents, heart and kidney disease, cancer, tuberculosis and high blood pressure are materially reduced in ! hospitals which maintain the specl- fled standardization.
 The New Britain institution has been approved by the American Col lege of Surgeons, and by the Ameri- can Medical association, which also maintains a strict supervision for definite standardization.
