medical social work for all cases at Sitka.
 The ANS has employed anorAer doctor who will be situated at the hospital to assist Dr. Moore as well as to care for any other cases needing attention. Orthoped.c sur geons from Seattle will serve as consultants with pr. Moore. The professional staff of the depart ment of health and the ANS will likewise be available for special consultation work at Sitka.
 All of the other important I.urc tionS of the hospital, suci as a l. ministration, operation, mai n ance, repair, nursing service. jan itor service, feeding or pat en;s, and heating and lighting, will be handled by the ANS. For theSo services, which might be COTS .. cred hospital costs, the depa" "tnlc0, of health, through the cripple children's program, will pay the ANS S5.75 per day per patient cared for. This cost is consider ably less than we. are paying in Seattle.
 Last fall the Department of Health requested $26,000 from the Alaska Crippled Children's Asso- citation. This amount, matched by funds from the children's bureau, will be used to pay the orthOped;c surgeons salary, the head ortno- pedic nurse's salary, and part of the S575 per day for hospitaliz2- ton. The funds will be used not only to pay for patients in Stka, but for those hospitalized at Seat tie.
 Opening of the hospital in Sitka, pr. Albrecht points out, does not mean that the Department of

Urges Relief To Be Loan, Not Gift

WASHINGTON, (P - Former President Herbert Hoover called on Congress today to put United States relief abroad on a loan rather than a gift basis. He also urged establishment of the post of foreign relief administrator to CO., ordinate this country's missions ot mercy.
 Only day after he recommend- ed that the United States spend $475,000,000 for the relief of Ger many alone over the l8-month pc riod beginning last Jan. 1, he was called to give his view before the House foreign affairs committee on proposed bill to expend $350,,. 100000 in five other European countries and China.
 Just back from making a three weeks survey of Europe's food needs, Hoover contends that relief for the other European countries should not be put at higher levels than those he recommended for Germany and Austria.

ELUSIVE FIRE

BOISE, Idaho. (P)-Three fire trucks rolled out to an intersection in the business district after an onlooker reported a car on fire.
 On arrival firemen learned the motorist had leaped into the blaz- ing vehicle and diven off for the fire station after the alarm was given. In fact, witnesses near the fire station said later. The trucks almost ran him down as they sped out to answer the call.
 The unidentified driver then turned his smoking vehicle and followed the engines.
 By the time he arrived at the in tersection from which the alarm was first given the firemen had re- turned to the station by another route.
 The department is still wonder ing what happened to the car.

Alaska Orthopedic Hospital Facilities Now A Reality

The long anticipated hope of having orthopedic facilities within the Territory of Alaska has now become an official reality. During the last Week in January, an agree ment was signed by Mir Don Eos ter, superintendent of the Alaska Native Service, and Dr. C. Earl Al brecht, commissioner of health, which was the final step in nego- tiations which have been under way for nearly a year.
 Under terms of this agreement, the ANS will operate the hospital at Sitka, which will be modern in every respect and will comply with the minimum requirements of the Children's Bureau for ortho- pedlc hospitals.
 A letter from Dr. Albrecht gives some interesting facts about the hospital and what is expected of the Alaska Crippled Children's Association in assisting with it's operation. The following is sum- mary of this information.
 Three small islands close to the Sitka toWnsite-Japonski, Char coal, and Alice are joined to- gether by roads. Facilities on these islands were transferred to the De- paNment of the Interior by the Navy Department. Since the ANS is part of the Department of the Interior, they have the reSpOnSi- blllty of operating the facilities, and will continue to conduct a vo- cational school for children there The Navy hospital, a reinforced concrete, fireproof building, very adequately constructed and plan ned, with a capacity of eighty or more beds, will be utilized as a general hospital to care for sick children at the school and WILL SERVE AS OUR ORTHOPEDIC HOSPITAL.
 Eventually a 200-bed tubercuIo- sis sanatorium will be built in such a way that the present hos pital which is used for orthopedics will be included in the construc- ton.
 There are living quarters for nurses and employees as well as the professional staff. Equipment for the hospital will be obtained by the ANS through Surplus Prop erty, supplemented by supplies To- cated by the department of health through Surplus Property. The specialized physical therapy ortho- pedic equipment will be purchased by the department of health.
 Dr. Albrecht emphasized the fact that no equipment at the Siiks hospital which is or becomes the property of the department of health will be transferred 10 the ANS. This means that all physical therapy equipment purchased with federal funds during the next five months will remain Alaskan prop erty.
 The staff will be furnished ana paid for practically entirely by the ANS. The department of health however, must supply the ortho- pedic surgeon, the head orth0pedic nurse, and the medical social worker.

CHICAGO'S library has
grown with the city. Ironically, it
was founded by an English mem
Der of Parliament, Til ON S
Hughes, author of ''Tom Browns
School Days" After the Great
Chicago Fire of 1871, Hughes
started a movement to restore
Chicago's library.
Hughes had been mistaken. Chi
cago had never had library be-
fore the fire. But no Chicagoan
bothered to tip off the philan-
thropic MP.
BY 1873, 10000 books bearing
the signature of Carlyle, Brown
ing, Disraeli, Gladstone, Ruskin,
the Rossettis and even Queen
Victoria, had piled up in the City
Hall. But there was no library to
put them in.
FINALLY the City Council, sur
rounded by books, authorized a
city library. 1t was located in an
old iron water tank in back of
'the Rookery" at LaSalle and
Adams SITS.
The 100000 Chicago Public
Library at Michigan av., between
Randolph and Washington sts., was
completed in 1897. The Italian

mosaics by Tiffany, the New York
jeweler.
