Uniform Accounting
Discussed al Farley
|0f Area Hospitals

Representatives OF Is hospitals In
the Washington Metropolitan area
yesterday discussed steps to bring
their accounting procedure into con-
formity with the system indorsed by
the American Hospital Association
Lack OF uniformity In the account
ing methods practiced In institutions
here was one of the principal
criticisms of the District hospital
system made last year by the
Metropolitan health and hospital
survey.
Hospital spokesmen at yesterday S
meeting cited the definition OF
"semiprivate" as distinguished from
ward accommodate ations, the method
Of charge for laboratory service and
the extent to which universities with
affiliated hospitals share administra-
tive expenses as examples Of differ
ing accounting procedures.
Manual Being Revised.
The American Hospital Associa-
tion, which has distributed an
accounting manual for guidance OF
hospital administrators since 1921,
Is currently revising its recon-
mendations, 1t was disclosed by
William H. Markey, jr., an account
ing specialist with the association.
He said the national hospital pic
ture has materially changed since
the accounting manual was last
revised in 1940
pointed out, that they can no longer
be dependent on private philsn-
thropy. Mr.. Markey said their ac-
counting policies should be reviewed
In move to enable them to become
self-s,lpporting.
The rise in the general cost OF
equipment and services must be
fully taken into consideration, he
asserted.
Mr.. Markey declared the latest
recommendations on accounting
would be available by early fall.
Time Required For Study.
Hospital representatives, assembled
at the invitation of the committee
on accounting of the National Capt.
tai .Area Hospital, Council, agreed
that no sweeping changes in ac-
counting policies should be made
here, until the chart of accounts OF
the American Hospital Association
had been studied.
Robert G. Whitton. administrator
Of Alexandria Hospital and chairman
Of the accounting committee, pre-
sided at the meeting, held in the
Emergency Hospital nurses home.
The meeting was also addressed by
j. H. Mullendore, assistant admin
istrator of Emergency Hospital;
Robert Southwick, deputy superin-
tendent of Gallinger Hospital, and

POETRY
The poetic harvest has been a
slim one. Two women already
well known for their creative
ability are represented. The COL
lection of Edith Sitwell, Song
of the Cold" contains most
of her verse written since the
beginning of World War II and
establishes beyond question the
contention of her admirers that
she must rank among the first of
the 20th-century lyric poets.
Nineteen years ago, Vita Sack

poem 1.-The Land" of the sea-

Her present volume is a garden

background of war. Small

Ralph Tubbs, already well
known for his previous Living

lent job in "The Englishman
Builds" of illustrating how the
spirit of an age is reflected in its
architecture, art and crafts.

HISTORY
In this era of conferences and
assemblies, Harold Nicolson's
Congress of Vienna-a Study of
Allied Unity, 1812-1822" is being
= eagerly read and comparisons
inevitably being made, although
Mr.. Nicolson endeavors to warn
that history can teach us little
unless we first realize that she
does not, in fact, repeat herself"
Also in the history field, but
of considerably earlier period,
is Edith Sitwell's colorful, dra-
matte Fanfare for Elizabeth"
The Princess Elizabeth may be
the ostensible subject, but the
figures which dominate the scene
are Henry VIII and her wretched
mother-Ann Boleyn.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS
From history, one turns to for
eign affairs. Ambassadors write
of their experiences in two parts
of the world. Sir Robert Craigie,
in Behind the japanese Mask"
portrays from the Embassy the
picture of Japan. 1937-1942, her
leading personalities, the rise and
fall of ministries and the events
which determined Japan's entry
into the war. In Ambassador
on Special Mission" Sir Samuel
Hoare (Viscount TemplewooO
writes of his work in Madrid as
British Ambassador from 1910 to
1914 and of the endeavors which
contributed largely to the Spanish
refusal to enter the war on the
side of the Axis.
BIOGRAPHY
A recent contribution to biog-
raphy is Trevor Evans "Bevin:
Profile of a Leader" the first
publication of the sort on this
forceful figure in the interna-
tional affairs OF today.

not like birthdays. In fact he

is a historical novel Of the

of Spain in his youth. It Is q
story, poignant in its sufferings
and its loyalties, that stays in

For those to whom the death

novel, 1.-The !. Ballad and the

feet of events upon a particular
witness.
Elizabeth Bowen with her close
literary kinship to Henry James,
has written ivy Gripped the

written in wartime London with
a preface brilliant in its aware

period.
CHILDREN'S BOOKS
British and American children
for several decades have consid-
cred as their special friends and
acquaintances, Beatrice Potter's
peter Rabbit" "Jemima Puddle
duck" Mrs. Tiggy- Wrinkle"
Jeremy Fisher" and "Tabitha
Twitchit." Miss Potter was very
definite in her ideas of what q
small child's book should be-
very small itself, little more
than five inches by four, with
only one or two simple sentences
on each page and picture every
time one turned over" Further
editions have been required this
year with the publication of "The
Tale of Beatrix Potter" by Mar
garet Lane.
People brought up with Lewis
Carroll and Edward Lear, are
beginning to discover with de-
light Rhymes Without Reason"
"a feast of poetic nonsense with,
beautiful nonsensical illustra-
tions by Mervyn Peake, painter,
illustrator and poet. In fact, one
of his verses aptly summarizes
the present topsy-turvey situa-
ton in the British book field,
where the demand has run away
with supply:
&c. What a day it's been!
The kind OF day ,ofen days
Are not ,ohat they are meant to bt

Great Demand for
American Books

Not only has the demand of the
reading public in Britain itself
exceeded the supply. There has
also been a notable increase in
the demand for British books
from other countries. The largest
has come from the United States
and it has been a source of great
disappointment that these orders
could not be filled.
The following table quickly in
dicates the comparison in British
book output in 1889 and 1915:

uate. They are especially
~ so in postwar Britain,
where the publication of
books is still delayed from season
to season on account Of publish
ing difficulties and where editions
are exhausted practically before
the blurbs is dry on the book
jacket. The reader does not ex-
actly have to give up ration points
for his books, but booksellers are
restricted in the number Of copies
each receives, as the author found
to her dismay this summer. A
leading London bookstore could
only supply two out OF a list Of
10 recent publications. In Shrop-
shire, the owner of the local book
shop pulled wry face, on being
asked for a copy Of Margaret
Lanes popular biography, 'The
Tale of Beatrice Potter" "Our
quota was one" he said sadly,
land that was mislaid in the
mail"
This is indeed a sorry plight
resulting from wartime conditions
and difficulties which Mr.. Geof-
frey Faber, past president of the
Publishers Association, sums up
very succinctly in his recent ar
ticle on the ups and Downs of
Publishing:
"The years 1941-1946 have seen
quite a staggering reversal in the
conditions of book publishing.
They have, indeed, been years of
> chaos, losses, burnings, nightmare
efforts to supply some reasonable
fraction of the actual, but never
theless, nearly unbelievable de-
mand. Publishers have had to do
the impossible-to make bricks
without straw (though straw has,
in fact, been a main ingredient of
wartime paper) and to warehouse
and distribute books without
trained labor. These years have,
nevertheless, been years of a pros
perity such as the English book
trade has never previously even
dreamed of. ALI is not well with
the trade in spite of these years
of prosperity. Taxation has taken
the whole of it's wartime profits.
Nothing has gone into reserve.
In 1916, the publishing industry
finds itself stripped bare. No
body has any stocks now. Mil
lions of books (and many tons OF
type) have been destroyed by
enemy action. The rest have been
sold and very few of this will or
can be reprinted"

Follow New Trend

Among the new ventures OF
the year are the group of
periodical books - Contact"
Fortune, THE Arts" "Art and
Image" and "Polemic."
Contact" which bears re-
semblance to Fortune" and the
smaller volume, Future" both
cover politics, industry, science
and the arts. Alphabet and
Image" deals mainly with the
printing industry and "Polemic"
with philosophy, psychology and
esthetics. "The Arts" is remi-
niscent of the French "Verve."
The selection of titles from
various classifications in the 1916
crop of publications has been
made not only from the point of
view of popularity in Britain but
also from that of availability in
the States-either in the English
or American editions.
