Visiting Hours Cut
At Emergency Hospital

AS another wartime move, Emer-
gency Hospital today reduced its
visiting hours from the customary
eight-hour period to an afternoon
and an evening period totaling only
three hours.
Visitors will be admitted only be-
tween 2 and pm. and between
7 and 8 pm. daily. In the past,
the doors were open to the public
from 10:30 am. to $3.50 pm.
Moreover, only two visitorss will
be permitted in the future to visit
a patient at one time.
j. G. Capossela, superintendent
OF Emergency, explained that the
curtailment was in line with rec
concentrations from the District
Health Department and the Dis
trict Association of Hospital Super
lntendents. Signs announcing the
change were erected at various
points about the hospital yesterday.
Mr.. CapOssela said the reduction
of visiting hours would have two
principal benefits, both of which
should be of great aid in meeting
the increased demands for hospital
service brought on by the war emer-
gency. First Of these is the elimina-
ton of the risk of bringing new
infection to patients whose resist
ance already is lowered by the all
ment which has caused them to be
hospitalized.
The other chief advantage will be
in relieving the overworked nursing
staff of the extra load caused by
visitors.

Senator Glass of Virginia is IS
years old today, but the event was
being observed more quietly than
usual at Mount View. his farm on
the outskirts Of Lynchburg.
Never one to make a fuss over q
birthday anniversary. Senator Glass
this year was particularly anxious to
shun a celebration because OF his
physical condition. A kidney infec-
ton has kept him away from the
Senate since midsummer.
Rixey Smith, Senator Glass sec
retary, who visited him last Thurs
day, said the Senator now is getting
along pretty good and is coming back
to Washington soon"
"A little family dinner" with his
wife, the former Mary Scott Meade,
whom he married in June, 1910,
which will be shared by few rel
atives and friends, is all that has
been planned to mark today's ami
versary, according to Mr.. Smith.
Ordinarily kilograms pour into his
office, but this year there was none
due to the ban on the sending of
congratulatory messages. Even one
prepared by Mr.. Smith on behalf of
the Senator's office employees was not
accepted

Supreme Court Upho|ds
Raisin Marketing Program

BY the Associated Press.
The 1901 California marketing
program for raisins, which regu-
lated sales in an effort to stabilize
prices, was held constitutional to-
day by the Supreme Court.
Chief Justice Stone delivered the
decision.
I'VE conclude" the opinion said,
that the California prorate pro-
gram for the 1910 raisin crop is a
regulation of State industry of local
concern which, in all the circum-
stances of this case which we have
detailed, does not impair national
control over the commerce in a
manner or to a degree forbidden
by the Constitution.
The Justice Department had con-
tended in a brief filed with the
tribunal that the State legislation
violated the Sherman Antitrust
Act and the Federal power to regu-
late interstate commerce.
