SOMEWHERE IN THE SOUTH Pa
CIFIC R.-Somebody discovered cattle
on an adjoining island. A marine STAN
sergeant stuck a needle through the
perforated classification cards and the
names of eight former cowboys fell out.
The cows were rounded up. Again the
needle, and out came q crew of ex-
perienced slaughterhouse men, Result:
This veteran marine division, now at a
South Pacific rest camp soon will have
fresh beef.
Take less unusual example. After q
battle came the replacements, more than
a thousand fresh men. In two hours
and half after they had come down
the side Of the ship they were assigned
and billeted, ready to start training the
next morning.
These replacements had come to order.
A few weeks before the division person.
mel men had sat down and counted. So
many mortarmen, so many cannoneers,
SO many radiomen. SO many shoe repair
men. Then they had sent in their
requisition, using the classification num-
bers. And the men had come-not as in
the old days. alphabetically arranged.
with the prospect Of taking q month to
get them into their proper units. Rather,
they came classified by talents, fighting
talents.
That is how the Marine Corps classin-
cation system works in the South Pacific.
The Marine Corps is skeptical Of an
innovation which seems to lessen its
streamlined, flexible combat efficiency.
1t has, therefore, modified its classifica-
tion techniques to avoid administrative
fiabbiness.
Here is what the manual Of instruc-

Metropolitan police were soon upon the
ground, and ran through the house
arousing all the inmates, and about
this time the scene was awful in tho
extreme.
"All of the sick and wounded able to
rise wrapped the bed clothing around
them and escaped from the building, and
the shrieks of those unable to do so were
terribly piercing, and thrilled the hearts
OF all who heard them. The citizens
present, the officers of the institution,
and the Metropolitan police, were all

who had to be taken up bodily ana
brought through the smoke and flames
to . place Of safety. Some were carried
to the City Hall, some to the school,
house on Judiciary Square "a hospital
for some time past), some to the former
quarters Of Grindn's Battery, some to
Old Trinity Church, on Fifth street, and
many to private residences in the neigh
borhood. It Is believed by the officers Of
the institution that all the patients were
rescued with the exception of one-an
aged woman named Mrs. Hussey, who
was sent to the 1nfirmary sometime since
by the commissioner of public buildings
She cannot be found. and 1t is supposed
she has perished in the flames.
Left in Ruins
The alarm at no time became general
through the city, and many persons
living within two or three squares knew
nothing Of the fire until this morning.
One hour and more after the fire was
discovered . single alarm bell was rung.
and 1t was at least an hour after that
before any fire engines arrived. BY that
time the addition and the eastern
portion of the main building were
enveloped in flames. The fire now made
considerable headway and at 8 o'clock
this morning nothing remained of the

pointed to attend the laborers, of which
there were then about 46. For this at
tention the doctor received annually the
"princely" sum of $67, for the entire
number, or as many as needed attention,
and strange as it may seem, this job
really had its attractions, for on May 2,
1877, when this position was apparently
vacant, the Commissioners received ap-
plications to fill it from Drs. Wrenn,
CAN'T. Frederick May. w. B. Williams
and John Crocker DR.. May received the
appointment, the fee being set at so
cents head, including medicine to be
furnished by the doctor, which is said
to have been the usual charge for this
class of patients.
In 1901 this building was purchased
by the Levy Court from the Commis-
sioners to be used as poorhouSe and
hospital for the needy generally.
On October 81, 1906, the corporation
purchased for $4,000 sufficient ground,
in the square bounded by Sixth, Seventh,
M and N streets, for the erection of
suitable buildings, 'the more effectively
to provide for the poor, disabled and in
firm persons And it may be further
said that in the early days such insti-
tutions also functioned as hospitals for
the INDECENT sick.
Temporary Hospitals
But by August, 1882, when the Asiatic
cholera broke out here, the city was
entirely without hospital facilities, ex-
cept the sinfirmary of the before-men-
toned poorhouse. This disease was at
tributed to the influx of the large num-
Der Of laborers who had come here about
that time and were then engaged in
macadamizing Pennsylvania avenue,
working on the canal and digging
trenches for waterpipes. There were no
places provided for these poor creatures
in which to live except in miserable
huts.
Under these tragic conditions, three
private dwellings were transformed into
temporary hospitals. The Western Hos
pital, as it was called, was placed in a
double brick house in the south side of
M street between Eighteenth and Nine
teenth street; the Central Hospital, in
house on the west side of Tenth street
just north of Pennsylvania avenue, and
from there was soon moved to a build
ing at the southeast corner of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and Eleventh street; the
Eastern Hospital was on the west side
Of Fourteenth street, between K street
and Potomac avenue Sc.
For the same purpose hospital was
established in Georgetown on the west
side Of Wisconsin avenue, just south of
n street. and one in Alexandra ut the

streets.
Founded in 1852
To DR.. Thomas Sewal is given credit
for attempting, in 1890, to found public
hospital here, which would have no
"poorhouse" stigma attached to it, and
though he failed, he was later sue
cessful in founding the medical school
of George Washington University in
1925.
