GERTRUDE WETzEL TELLS OF PLANS FOR HOSPITAL
 ON NEW SITE AT NOME

Miss Gertrude Wetzel, Hospital Administrator, Territorial Health Department, spoke to the Woman's Society of the Methodist Church at their regular monthly meeting last night, telling them some of the plans for the new Methodist hos pital at Nome. The Maynard Col uhmus Hospital, which has served Nome since 1923, burned recently and Miss Wetzel had just returned from that city working out plans with the community for rebuilding.
 A new site has been selected that will permit modern conven- fences. It probably was. one of the few hospitals without modern plumbing because of the perma- frost in the old location.
 Harold Foss of this city has been authorized to work out arch itectural plans for the hospital, funds for which will be raised through the national Woman's So- ciety of Christian Service of the Methodist Church, from citizens of Nome, and use of Federal funds available for the construction of hospitals in the Territory.

 NEW YORK, April 8--lR-A pro- lessor of economics at the Univer- sity of Wisconsin, one of the few strongholds of intercollegiate boxing, has asked that university's athletic department to survey the sport to find out if it is detrimental. With out knowing the man who made that request, we suspect that he's inclined to be suspicious of any sport that's profitable. Having watched college boxing for some time, this observer is firmly convin- ced CD that few of the college kids can hit hard enough to do any real damage and (2) that a college boxer is in much less danger of be- ing seriously hurt than football player

: From District Area to Process

A District fireman and Bethesda

worth 800 ton, on a farm near
Winfield, Carroll County, Md.
Howard F. Rothery. private as
signed to District Fire Truck Com
pany No. 8, and Fowler W. Stevens,
Bethesda builder who is a graduate
in engineering from correspon-
dence school, revealed yesterday
they plan to put up a $25, 900 process

they rent from a 67-year-old col
ored handyman.
Engineers in the United States
Bureau of Mines said today that
ore worth $50 a ton is of bonanza
grade. They were inclined to view
the operation skeptically, however,
since the value of the operation,
they said, would depend upon the
amount of high-value ore to be
found. 1t is not unusual to find a
few tons, they explained, and it
would be surprising if more than
a few existed in nearby Maryland.
