ONE IN EVERY S COFS TOHOSPITAL Medical Association Shows Increase of 1,000,000 Patients Over 1935. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, March 25.—The Journal of the American Medical Association reported yesterday that 1 out of every 15 persons in the United States was a hospital patient in 1936. A sharp increase in the number of admissions—calculated at 16 a minute —accompanied a rise in the business barometer. At the same time hospitals on the approved list of the organization’s council on medical education and thospitals declined from 6,246 to 6,189 last year. The survey also provided these statistios: ‘The number of persons who came to the institutions last year, 8,646,885, represented an increase of nearly 1,- 000,000 over 1935. Available beds increased by 21,582. ‘The number of babies born in hos- pitals, 831,500, was greater b: 69,152 than in the preceding year. The number of general, nervous and mental, industrial, eye, ear, nose and | throat, isolation and convalescent and | rest hospitals declined, but 2 number of tuberculosis, maternity, children’s and orthopedic hospitals increased. The 1936 average of empty beds was 188,205, against 199,629 in 1935. Increasing use of hospitals as centers of medical practice was noted. The number of hospitals “incorpo- rated for profit” dropped from 627 to 650. The report sald many mental hos- pitals were overcrowded.

Collins, 30, colored, former convict, was held without bond for the grand jury yesterday on charges of kidnaping Sylvester Laurell, taxicab driver, and assault with a dangerous weapon in the shooting of Laurell's wife at the couple’s home, 17 T street, March 9. Laurell appeared in Police Court before Judge Edward M. Curran, but his wife, Mrs. Lillian Laurell, was unable to appear. A bullet, fired at her by one of two colored men who brought her husband home, shattered her leg. She is still confined to Sib- ley Hospital. Laurell said he picked up Collins and another colored man at First and D streets northeast and was directed to Anacostia. The cab driver charged Collins covered him with a gun and forced him to drive 10 miles into Maryland on the Marshall Hall road. Here, Laurell said, he was threatened, robbed of $5 and then forced to drive to his home in search of more money. Mrs. Laurell was shot as she ran for the telephone to summon police when her husband told her he' was being held up. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. TODAY. Meeting, Mechanics’ Branch, Lo- cal No. 2, N. F. F.

These were an increase from $10,500 to $13,- 230 placed by the commissioner on the value of the Thomas Somerville Co. and the inclusion of 1,777 shares of Park Savings Bank stock in the gross estate. The petitioners claim regarding the latter that the shares in question were transferred to the decedent’s wife and sold by her for *a fair cash consideration to a bona fide purchaser.” - COMMERCIAL DRIVERS CRITICIZED ON PARKING Traffic Judge Holds They Violate Law Often Because of Laziness. Drivers of commercial vehicles who park abreast rather than take advan- tage of nearby open spaces were criti- cized today by Traffic Judge John P. McMahon. Judge McMahon's criticism was de- livered after he had taken the per- sonal bond of Henry H. Hoffman, 210 C street, for parking an ice cream truck on a cross walk on G street last November 23. The magistrate declared many traf- fic violations by commercial drivers are due to “laziness.” He warned that commercial vehicles are allowed to park abreast only when there is no space available for parking at the curb. TEACHERS’.OATHS HIT Massachusetts Senate Votes for Repeal of Law. BOSTON, March 25 (#).—The Mas- eachusetts Senate yesterday followed the lead of the House of Representa- tives and voted 21 to 19 in favor of Tepealing a law requiring teachers to swear allegiance to the National and State constitutions. The Senate action advanced the re- peal bill one more step in its legisla- tive progress, but further debate was certain today in view of the assertion ©f Senator Edward C. Carroll, Demo- crat, of Boston, that he would ask reconsideration of yesterday's vote. _— e 40% sugar. William N. Maurer, 1634 B street southeast, $5.
