Boosting 70 students, the pres
ent graduating class of George
Washington University Hospital,
one of the nine hospitals sup
ported by the Community Chest,
is far advanced over the class of
six that was the first to be gradu'
ated from the medical department
of Columbia University in 1928.
The medical department of Co
lumbar University (now called
George Washington University
began in 1925 in building erected
by professors of the university.
Thomas Sewell, senior professor
was the leading booster of the
school.
Although there were six gradu-
ates in 1925 and eight more in
1884, there is no record of the
school from the year 1885 until
1889. In 1910, Prof. Sewell re-
organizes the Medical School anG
leased building at Tenth and E
Streets, where classes were re-
Sumed.
Used Old Jail
In 1874 Congress decided that
the old Jail in Judiciary Square,
which two years before had been
converted into an insane asylum,
was not suited for that purpose
and granted the use of the build
ing to Columbian College for IAN
infirmary and other purposes: !:
the other purposes being medical
instruction and scientific pur-
poSes."
From 1861 until 1898 the Med
ical School of the university had
no hospital of its own but had to
depend on the use of hospital
wards in various hospitals
throughout the city.
In 1898 one of the buildings of
Columbian College was converted
into the Columbian University
Hospital and Dispensary. This
hospital was not founded for any
great charitable or philanthropic
purpose, but to give the medical
students of George Washington
University better clinical and
actual bedside teaching facilities.
It was established as charitable
institution, in that people We're
given free hospitlization so that
students could learn medical
methods.
In 1902 the old buildings Of the
medical school and the hospital
were replaced by the present
structure occupied by the George
Washington University Medical
School and Hospital. The name

Sheriff Seizes Six Coaches
On Order Issued by
Luray Court

Six busses-nearly all the

ownS-lay idle today at Warren.
ton, Va, while their drivers clam
ored for 5000 in back pay they
claim is due them, and officials
went up in the air over a com.
plete cessation of business.
Tired of working on prom.
ises," the drivers obtained court
orders which the sheriff executed
as the buses went through Luray
yesterday on their run. The few
passengers had to climb out, but
the sheriff saw that they reached
their destinations.
The first intimation to reach
E. V. Niefert, manager and part
owner of the line, that matters
had reached a crisis was tele-
phone call about midnight Mon.
day from a spokesman for the
drivers, he said.
A further demand for the miss.
ing wages was made. but all
Niefert could reply was that
while the company recognized
the debt, it was financially un.
able to meet it. Niefert said
today he had made efforts to
negotiate with the men, but so
far had been unsuccessful.
R. A. Mcintyre, Warrenton at
torney who is handling the case
for the six drivers, said the &C.
ton could not be considered a
strike" as the men were per-
fectly willing to go back to work
as soon as their money is paid.
1t is just a question of holding
up the BUSES until a settlement
is made, he pointed out.

COUNTY BACKS
PROJECT BY
BIC VOTE
$780, 900 Job to Be Financed
BY Grant From PWA;
To Start Soon

Arlington county resident, by
vote of 2,755 to 873, yesterday
approved a $2,50O,000 sewer bond
issue. Engineering work on the
project is being carried on now,
and with in few days plans will
be completed for starting con-
Struction.
The project, involving building
OF a complete sewerage disposal
system for the country, will be
financed by Public Works funds.
1t will employ more than 1000
men over period of at least two
years.
Heavy Majority
Every precinct in the county,
save one, was carried by propo-
nentS Of the issue and that one,
Glencarlyn. was split-38 to 38.
The vote was exceptionally
large, and far exceeded that cast
an the last general election.
Many votes for the issue in some
OF the precincts were disqualified
because the voters, in their en-
Ghuslasm, signed their names on
the ballots. This, under Virginia
Law, voidS the ballot.
The present election reverses
the action taken three years ago
when voters rejected a $2,173,089
oond issue for sewers by a vote
OF 1913 to LIT. At that time
10 of the II precincts voted
against the issue.
Parade Staged
Proponents of the issue pa
raded through the county last
night, blowing horns and sirens.
The county, it is said, is the
first in Virginia to undertake a
projejct financed by public works
funds.

When little Johnny comes into the
room and shocks mother by standing
on his head in the fern dish, and other
wise performing, it is only an indica-
ton that that small Individual has just
discovered that he Is a person with a
name and an identity, according to
some authorities. Which is perhaps
scientifically sound-leastwise it is sup
posed that this explanation serves to
cover a multitude of sins for Johnny.
But it has been proved that the neigh
bors will not take this explanation into
consideration and therefore persist in
clubbing this mode of behavior as pure
showing off-itis
A noted author says that much has
been written about why we behave
like human beings" but that he is
more interested in knowing why we
behave like addle- pated ding bats" or
why we behave like idiots" And this
author further states that he has found
the reason. Ii is because we are shy.
1t is supposed that the basis for this
is that each person is intimately ac-

paying only the amount Of the original
tax, with all penalty and interest can

made on or before November 30, 1888
