‘ 4 5 ¢ GARFIELD HOSPITAL BEING REMODELED Widespread Improvements Under Way in Carrying Out Reconstruction Program. —— @espread changes and improve- ments are well under way at Garfield Moepital in the course of a recon- struction program. With the new nurses’ iiome nearing completion, a central heating estab- lishment already fugctioning and many innovations and alterations in various wings finished, the official personnel of the hospital will leave the executive offices in the adminis- tration bullding early during the coming week, so that this building alse can be remodeled. Work started yesterday on removing the roof from the audmintstration buflding, and the old nurses' quarters, which were on the second and third floors, already have been deserted for the newer rooms. The latest report shows that $250,- 000 of the $323,000 pledged by Wash- ingtonians in the drive for the build- §V and construction work at and abeut the hospital, has been expended. General Imprevement Plan. Ihe general plan centered about fireproofing of the entire establish- menf, realigning various departments h hitherto have been placed in ther unhandy locations, and fn co- ordinating different sections of the institution, eo that access will be fa- cllitated in the Interest of the staff of the hospital. For instance, directly at the rear of the main building a wing has been remodeled =0 that it now contains & iitchen on the first floor, a dlet iitchen for the preparation of food for patlents on the second floor and a laundry on the third floor. The new nurses’ home will be in the rear of the central portion of the building and will contain well over 100 individual rooms for nurse while the old Kendall building, which separated from the hospital wings, has been remodeled so that it will serve as a recreation center for nurses, h schoolrooms on the up- per floor. X-Ray Laboratory Imprevement. The former site of the X-ray labo- ratory, which is regarded as among the best squipped {n the country, will be remodeled as a section 6f the nurses’' home, while the laboratory it- =elf will occupy a large section of the Willard building, now in the course of remodeling, with the rooms and operation centers specially equipped for the work. Those In charge of the work expect the new laboratory to be a8 well equipped as any in existence. The nurses’ home {tsel? is listed s 87 per cent completed and is par- tially occupied. The bufiding is con- structed of brick and matches exactly the other sections of the hospital. It is entirely fireproof and has the latest convenlences grouped on each floor. The new heating plant of the hos- tal replaces plants which had been ueed for heating of separate bulld- 1hge. The 'W plant now heats the hospital proper, the contagious dls- ¢ase annex and other butldings of the hospital group. Reoms for Patients in Program. ‘The latest operation contemplates the replacing of the old4 quarters for nurees on the second and thirdefioors of the adminietration bullding with rooms for patients. This, as has been sald, already s under way. In practically every case where the ol bulldings were remodeled it was found that the walls, which had been sturdily constructed, could be utllized for the new bufldin- -, but the inter- iors were completely renovated with firaproof materials, new flooring, also fireproof, and with the latest appli- ances.

By the Aswclated Press. ROME, November 22.—The speech of Deputy Delcroix before the Italian Chamber of Deputles yesterday, In which the maimed war veteran force- tully upheld the Fascist government and® the administration of Premier Mpssolint, was the subject of numer- ous editorials today. The Messaggero, by far the most euologistic, says that although Dep- uty Delcroix spoke only for hi he really “with his tauching oration spoke for the whole Italian people, whose soul he made articulate.” The anti-government papers, how- ever, assailed the deputy for his at- titude, and the Glornaie Italia ac- cuses the government of using ‘Deputy Delcroix’s plcturesqueness and s screen to lull the country, now that it has failed to browbeai the voters by clubs.” Despita the various editorial ex- pressions, the general opinion is that Deputy Delcroix did much to revivify the Fascist] Ideals and served to pro. long, even it not for long, popular confidence in the Fascist program. el A Because Winter rains saturate the interfor watls of houses in Spain, wall paper is seldom used there. selt, | binding oratory as a smoke | NEW FRENCH TARIFF HAS NO FOOD DUTIES | American Exports, Including Auto- | | mobile and Electrical Appliances, Must Pay Increases.

STORM RESPITES BIG NAVY CRAFT Gale Lashing Sea Keeps Air- craft From Bombarding Washington. By the Associated Pres: NORFOLK, Va., November 2%.— Protected by a 60-mile gale that lashed the sea off the Virginia capes into such fury that at times the big hull was hidden in the trough of the war the superdreadnaught Wash- ington escaped further punishment today in the series of gunnery and bombing experiments to test her armor. Already battered and listing from the punishment inflicted by two days of pounding by the 14-inch guns of the battleship Texas, the glant hulk was to have been bombed from the air today by a squadron of air- planes from the naval base here, but because of the rain and high winds the aerfal attack was postponed until probably tomorrow. The Washington, which {s anchored about 30 miles off the capes, Was re- ported to be in a fair condition de- spite the severe bombardment by the big guns of the Texas and still s cor sldered to be in a seaworthy condi- tion. Report suid thers in from tk the pra lds exc heay as that broke hull was reported tugging desperately at her anchors during the gale, but there was no fear that she would break her moorings. If weather conditions permit, two squadrons of airplanes will leave the naval base here early in the morn- ing and will endeavor to send the Washington to the bottom. The ma- chines will fly over the ship in single file and each will drop two bombs of tremendous destructive power. If the target is still afloat after the bomb- ing further attacks lkely will be made from the air as well as from under water. Leaves $5,000 to College. RIVERHEAD, N.
