Outlines Need for Sanitorium. ‘Mrs. Grant, outlining the immediate work of the early diagnosis campaign, indicated the comparative futility of efforts to protect the children of the eommunity without the great advantage of a suitable place for the care of those found to be threatened. Maj. Layson E. Atkins, assistant en- eer commissioner and chairman of commission appointed to develop plans for the proposed chil- dren’s sanatorium, another speaker, praised the pioneer work that had been done by the children’s sanatorium com- mittee and described in detail the work ittee in plans for the pro- | sanatorium had been completed. estimated cost of a suitable site id the city limits would require an ture of approximately $625,000 for the ject, the amount named in the Capper bill favorably re- ported to Senate.

Another strange feature of the change in ships at the quarantine station is attached to the old cutter Chase, which has entirely outlived its usefulness and deteriorated to the point where she is no longer fit even for a quarantine ship.
