Children S Hospital
Reports Good Record
For Appendectomies

A total of 100 appendectomies has
been performed at Children's Hos
pital so far this year without a
fatality, 1t was announced yesterday
Difficulties of early diagnosis,
rapid progress of infection and fire.
iquency of rupture usually result in
"a mortality rate among children
more than twice as high as among
adults, it was said.
Mortality Below Average.
Since January, 1914, the hospital
has performed 472 appendectomies
with but fatalities, all of them
in cases having complications, it was
said. The mortality rate was de-
scribed as more than 10 per cent
below the average. 1t was figured at
.85 per cent as against 81 per cent
in a series of $50 appendectomies
performed in Childrens Hospital,
Boston, Mass, between 1928 and
1899, said to have the best previous
record.
The record was attributed to de-
velopment of new treatments to
arrest post-operative infection, and
availability of a staff of diagnosti-
clans and surgeons trained to recog-
nize the symptoms of appendicitis In
children, said to differ from those
evidenced by adults.
Although the incidence of rupture
is declining, it would be much lower

GWU Hospital to Open Drive
To Meet High Equipment Costs
By Chris Mothisen

The hospital building is not the
hospital Because of this, George
Washington University is temper
ing with caution its pride in the
large white structure being built at
Washington Circle.
Completion of the building is as
sured, but the problem of equipping
it still faces the university, and the
problem is growing daily in its cost
aspect.
In a determined effort to over
come it. the university soon will
announce fund campaign to begin
in September.
Last December, Henry w. Herzog
university controller, revealed that
opening OF the fund had been au-
thor.ized by resolution of the board
of trustees with solicitation goal
of $1,000 900. A steady rise in equip
ment costs forced upward revision
of the amount. however, and the
figure to be made public in the
formal drive announcement IS ex-
pected to be substantially higher.
Estimates Studied.
Estimates now are being assembled
with a view to arriving at the
minimum figure necessary to provide
equipment for adequate medical
service in the new building.
Although it is referred to as "the
new George Washington University
Hospital" the structure is a Gov
ernment project, undertaken as a
community necessity. The land was
acquired and construction is being
accomplished with Federal funds.
The work is under the general super
vision of w. E. Reynolds, commits
sioner of public buildings
When finished, the hospital will
be operated by the university under
lease, and the institution will hold
flve-year option to buy.
A total of 405 beds is planned
for the building. in contrast to the
80 available in the present hospital
at 1889 H street NV.
The new hospital has seven stor-
les. including the ground floor.
1t is H-shaped with additional wings
emerging from the side of the
