ington at Yorktown, November 10
1871, to William Ramsay, first mayor
of Alexandria, and other residents
of the city, is included in a WASH

town, and warns against overopti-
mism following the Yorktown sue
cess, which Washington termed
very promising"
In answer to the congratulations
of his friends following the victory,
Washington urged vigorous prose-
cution of that success" and warned
that "relaxations of our exertions
at this moment may cost us many
more toilsome campaigns"
The exhibition. which will be at
the library for two weeks, was ar
ranged by William Robert Adam

tributed by Alexandrians who are
descended from some of the city's

old Australian composer and con-
cert artist explained his hands must

into Constitution Hall out of the
brisk Washington cold yesterday
however, he wore no topcoat over
his green tweed suit and no hat.
Mr. Granger stood on one foot,
explaining to a pres conference he
did this to count of 100 as one
exercise to speed circulation to his
hands. Then he sat down and
slapped his knees rapidly to demon
strate another.
When he is comfortably cool, he
said. ''one feels awfully nice but
plays awfully badly
Despite his penchant for cool.
fresh air, the pianist declared next
ne feels best when the atmosphere

He says the most outrageous
things perfectly seriously" the con-
ductor said, as II Mr.. Granger were
not present
Why ask him about taxes?" DR.

FWA Funds Add
$50 Hospital

; New Suburban
Structures Help
Alleviate Shortage

Additions to two District and one
Alexandria hospitals and the build
ing OF three hospitals in the sub
urban area have added more than
$50 patient beds in the Washington
area at a cost of $4,000, 900 in Lam
ham Act funds, Henry j. Sullivan,
assistant Federal Works Agency
regional director, said last night.
In report to Maj. Gen. Philip B.
Fleming, FWA administrator, Mr..
Sullivan said that, while original
plans to add 1880 beds to District
area hospitals had been curtailed
because of material shortages, it Is
felt that I'VE have gone long way
toward alleviating the hospital sit
uation that existed in Washington
in 1912"
Improvements to hospitals in
cluded additions to Gallinger and
Georgetown University Hospitals In
the District and additions to the
Alexandria Hospital
New hospitals, of 100 bed capacity
each, were built at Bethesda and
Cheverly, in Maryland. and in Ar
lington County, Va. The hospital
at Bethesda is now open for service
while the one in Cheverly is expected
to open in week Or 10 days. and the
Arlington Hospital by the end of the
month.
Mr.. Sullivan said hospitals have
provided other facilities for pa
tients than those included in the
FWA program by rearranging and
replanning space
The three suburban hospitals fol-
low standard plans approved by the
United States Public Health Serv-
ice. However, each presents special
architectural features and individual
treatment.
Each suburban hospital has oper-
ating rooms, Tray laboratories
solaria, nurseries. kitchens and
cafeterias, and each occupies large
grounds with plenty of light and air.
Mr.. Sullivan said the Gallinger
addition provides $50 beds for ma
ternity cases and two buildings
housing 38 nurses and 38 internes.
The four-story addition to the
Alexandria Hospital. he said. pro-
vides IS additional beds and story
and a basement for administrative
Offices, conference rooms and labora-
tories. The Old St. Marys Academy
building adjacent to the hospital
will provide quarters for 80 nurses
and facilities for nurses training.
Mr.. Sullivan said the Therkeld
School in Georgetown was remod-
eled for nurses quarters. thus free
ing space for 30 patient beds in the
Georgetown University Hospital.
He said that in addition to the
general program. grants were made
to the District for new wing and
remodeling Of an old building at
Gallinger Hospital to provide 100
beds for venereal disease cases.
