' 10 HOSPTAL N YEAR HAS 0000 CASES Freedmen’s Report to Wilbur iShows 4,336 Indoor Cases : Including Births. * Approximately 20,000 persons were itted to Freedmen's Hospital during he last fiscal year, Secretary Wilbur announced today upon receipt of a re- port from the institution’s chief surgeon. The surgeon’s report showed that 4,336 indoor patients, including 507 births in the hospital, were under care | ¢aring the year. Of this number 871 ‘were pay patients, 1,199 were indigent residents of various States, and 2,064 were indigent residents of the District. * There were 8,308 treated in the out- patient department, 4,950 in the emer- ency department and 29,597 revisits !l'ere made to the various clinics. A sotal of 1,797 surgical operations was rformed, and 1,884 received attention the dental department. 3 The Interior Department's attefltion vas called by the chief surgeon to what e termed a “pressing need” of an in- rease in the personnel on account of new clinical building and the Gov- ernment’s half-holidays on Saturday. Three head nurses and three orderlies are needed as a minimum requirement, the report said. . It was pointed out that the hospital has expanded nearly one-third during the last eight years and has been op- #rated with less than the minimum mumber of employes actually needed. he chief surgeon said it was essential ihat the force be sufficiently large for the continuous operation of the hospital 3hroughout the year, which cannot be accomplished satisfactorily without ad- giitional employes. i ~ A new building for resident internes, %o cost approximately $40,000, was rec- pmmended. The present quarters, it was reported, were sufficient 20 years ago, but now are overcrowded. kg DR. BOWERMAN MADE ..

Albert W. Stevens and Lieut. J. F. Phillips, Army Air Corps. ‘The mission was performed entirely at high altitude, involving 15 hours of flying at 20,000 feet. A total of 3,600 | square miles was covered in two fiying | 1days, which is half a year's work with | usual equipment, the War Department announced. The actual photography was completed in three hours, the max- imum speed being at the rate of 1,200 square miles every half hour, while fly- ing with winds of tremendous velocity prevailing at great altitudes. i At 20,000 feet the camera, of a new five-lens type, taking five exposures simultaneously, covered an area 20 miles wide, the length of the strips averaging 75 miles. A total of 800 negatives was taken. The work was| largely along the west boundary of Maine.
