HfThe two-thirds who occupy the other ■beds pay-lhe three-thirds for the op- and maintenance of the hos ■prital. first a patient who is able ■to pay must pay the debt of the ehar ■ity patient before he himself can be ■treated. He is penalized for his ■ability to.pay. HpUpon Mm who is able to pay is ■placed the burden of a few of those ■who are nor able to pay. Upon the ■two states is imposed the frightful ■(economic loss of a hundred thousand ■ people who are taken from produe ■tive placbs in the social structure. ■Care of some sort they must have, ■'and the burden falls upon those who ■ra* nearest to the man who is sick. Kit is a heavy, sorrowful burden upon ■the hearts and upon the shoulders ■pof the five million people who are the ■citizens of the two states. I Picks Up the Burden. "Yesterday a man lifted the burden ■to Us own shoulders and went away ■to find |t solution for it. On his ■hbouldera he carried the great weiglit ■of a hundred thousand people who are ■sick. lit his hands he had great flie gift of a man but lately ■ dead, dedicated to making light the ■burden. ' And in his heart he ear ■ried with him a truth gotten from a ■little book. With the wealth in his ■hands and the truth in his heart, he ■found strength to bear lightly the ■burden of a hundred thousand sick. jr. The man is Dr. Watson S. Rankin. ■ The wealth is the gift of James ■Buchanan Duke, forty million, per ■haps fifty million, possibly sixty mil ■ lion dollars, set up in the Duke ■Foundation for the creation of hos ■pital ear® and treatment in the two ■states. The truth in Dr. Rankin’s ■heart he* got from three stories in ■the New Testament —the story of the ■Trial ill the Wilderness, the story of ■Hie Blind Beggar, and the story of ■ the Samaritan and the Priest and ■ the Levitf. 'IK More formally the story could be ■tbld in Id few brief sentences that ■would read about as follows: Dr. W. ■S. Rankin left yesterday for Char ■lotte where he will open offices of ■the; hospital section of the Duke ■Foundation. Within the next year ■Dr. Rankin believes that the founda ■tion will be able to distribute $250,- ■6OO toward the maintenance of charity ■ beds in hospitals not operated for ■jprivate gain in the two Carolinas. ■She hospital section has completed ■the plans tinder which it will dis ■tribute the funds made available in ■the Duke endowment. I®! Under the regulations adopted by ■the board of directors of the hospital ■section, appropriation of $1 per bed ■Ter day will be made to hospitals ■ptfl ebarity patients.

For the present no appropriation ■frill be made for hospital construc- Rtio B. If at any time the resources ■of the endowment are greather than ■the needs for maintenance of charity ■nMa in the hospitals of the two HtUtes, appropriations for hospital ■pdratruction may be made from time ■to time.

For the past ten months Dr. Ran- Hfe> has been actively engaged in mak a survey of the hospital resources ■a the two states in which the Duke ■pnunmt will operate and for pur- Hn of Information a comparative ■pjidjr bhe hospital resources of the Bt large. Voluminous sta- Kjlstice have been assembled and will the basis of the board’s plans Hit administering the Duke Founda ■t Rankin’s experience as Htktt health officer has been invalu ■pte to bitn in making the survey. t)>c two states to be served | Bit foundation he found that twen §M|t» thirty people out of every 1,000 ■jmiatioa were sick in bed every gmu In the, year, and that 10 per cent. ~ PBn should be in hospitals. He EHk that the projier hospital equip -IMM should provide two beds for * m population. In the larger - Bib* Ot population, due to abnormal Icijitltinm, the bed equipment should fc beds to the 1,000 population, §§»,;■ in, more rural areas one bed If*#. 1,006 may be regarded as ade- I Ht (he two states Dr. Rankin finds ■ that there is an average of 1.30 beds per 1,000 population. In order that I the fixed overhead charges may be : met. a hospital should have 75 per - cent, of its beds occupied at ail times. ' In the two states in which the foun > dation will operate, only .07 of the i bed 6 are occupied, or in other words, ' the available hospital facilities are i used only to the extent of 52 per , cent, when 75 per cent, is normal.- i One-third of the patients in hos ! pitals pay, or able to pay "their bills. The' other two-thirds pay the! i entire cost of maintaining the hos , pital. Private hospitals, while they i have a lower percentage of charity I patients, take them in large numbers t because there is no escaping them, t The most restricted private hospitals t take charity patients, and the others 1 pay their way. It is the only meth > od under which they can continued . to operate. Ninety-five per cent, of the troubles r of hospitals are with finances. " The one-third of their resources absorbed -by charity eases keep them eonstant ; ly in financial difficulties. They try f to do charity work when they are not > prepared for it, and havjy only the t most inadequate resources for taking ? care of such situations. It is this - situation the Duke Foundation will - try to remedy. It will try to lift t the burden of caring for ten tbou . sand off the shoulders of the 2,330 > who can and do pay. [* And it will try to bring hospital fa ;. eilities within the reach of the 6.400 r who do not go to hospital because - they are not able to go. i- The Duke Foundation will approach e the problem from the standpoint of - the charity patient. It will appro e priate $1 per day per bed to sixty s hospitals in the two states, and will have available for the , next year ap s proximately $250,000. That will be e the primary aid to the thousands who e have not now any hospital facilities il available because of their economic i limitations. The money will be given without any strings tied to it. There :. will be no trading with the hospitals. ■, It will, however, be made to help o and not a substitute. The hospitals ;. themselves must find a supplementary i or complementary income, s Hospitals having this relation with e the Foundation will be required to submit monthly reports of operation costs. Items of overhead will he j listed separately and made available j for comparative purposes. One hos s pital may learn from another of more t economical methods of operation, and e thus reduce the cost of operation. On t the other hand of the ledger will be f kept a per-patient cost, carefully item p ized. One hospital may learn from . another how economies may be affect -1 e<l A s On the professional side of the sub „ ject another report will be made. e Hospitals Will report how many op erations of the various types were performed, by whom and with what g results. For instance, a hospital will _ report thnt in a month fifty gall blad . der operations were done, with a B death rate of 2.4. Another hospital . may report that fifty were done with , a death rate of 4.2. The report will , be analyzed and sent back to the gov , erning board of the institution. , It may be seen that Dr. Smith op r crated oil 18 of the cases with no f deaths. Mr. Brown operated on 12, ] with one death. Dr. Jones had 10 operations and one death. Dr. Black had 10 operations and four deaths. ‘ These facts will be called to the at c tention of the board for whatever • action they may deem proper. In ' competent, careless or inexperienced J surgery willl be weeded out of the ' hospital. And oil the other hand 1 the highest commendation will be giv en to men who are deserving of it. “These things are tremendously im portant. and their value cannot be easily over-estimated.” said Dr. Ran • kin yesterday. “We can bring hos pital facilities within reach of the mass of the people, and we can bring 1 the standard of service rendered them to a high degree that we have as yet only dreamed of. But it is not the ’ highest, good that will come of this bequest that Mr. Duke has set up i here among the people from whom he came.” The Spiritual Side. “What higher tiling have you ■ dreamed of?” he was asked. “The spiritual side of this thing. ; So far you have seen only the ma terial and the physical side of it. AVe have money and we can get brains and skill. We-will have in the or ganization resources for organizing local and group interest in the gen i eral plan of hospitalization of the en tire people of these two states. We i will enlist their interest in this ideal of service to humanity, and that is, after all, the great thing. 1 “Let me get at it this way—if, when you were born, you had been taken to a beautifu island and there every wish you had ever had were gratified, you had never seen a thing suffer, you had never felt pain, you j had never known sorrow, you had | never seen want or distress or de spair, you would not know sympathy. Lacking sympathy, you would not, know love. The fundamental thing that makes you a part of life would be lacking in you. “A man lives in proportion as he is able to project himself into the lives of those around him. If this character is big enough, he can pro ject himself into the whole world. He sees its joys he sees its sorrows, he feels its pain, he is moved to com passion. Character is two things, or it has two qualities. It has strength and it has size. It can have great atrength and little size. Both come from exercise. “And here we exercise it. We can giye It strength by projecting ourselves in sympathy ootside onr own interests. We can give it size by reaching out to see bigger hori zons than our own interests or the interests of those who are nearest. Dr. Rankin would illustrate by going back to the stories from the New Testament. Their practical applica tion is in relieving the distress of the world, the Wilderness for the growth of Aaracter and the others for the expansion of its size. “When I used to lecture on pathol ogy at Wake Forest I told ay stu- dents that disease is always the re sult of the violation of some physical , law. Now I doubt that. There is a spiritual side to it. One day I read the story of where the Master with two of his disciples saw the blind man in the gate. One of the dis ciples asked him. ‘Master, who hath sinned—his man or his parents?’ And He told them that neither had sinned bnt that the man was blind in order that the works of the father n ight be made manifest in him. i “Look now at our problem in the light of that fact. Here are the sick among us. not because of their own [sins, nor for the sins of their fathers, bur that in them and through them and for them we might make atone ment. Through them wc may come into the possession of our own souls and the fulfillment of our destinies up men and women. I don't belive that sickness will be here until we learned that lesson. “I don't want to sound sentimental, but this thing has a tremendous spir itual significance to me. Too much has been preached about the .Samari tan and too little attention has been paid to the Priest and the Levite that the Master put into his story. The church never preaches about them, but they are too typical of those of us who are hastening to preach aud us Levites who are in so great a hurry to go and sing the Psalms of David that we have no ttime for the traveler from Jerusalem to Jericho. "Make the practical application of it yourself. Here we have these thousands of sick and afflicted. To provide a vast charity out of this fund to care for them would be ruinous, and it would rot our souls. They are the wards of us all, and we must help them. Incidentally, this Foundations has a large fund but it is somthing that will merely head lip a vast working of interest and responsibility that stirs us all. “When churches, communities, counties nnd groups realize their re sponsibility, spiritual and material we will supplement their funds. To that end the great work of Mr. Duke's indenture will be directed. It was not his idea that a colossal charity be set up. but that the leadership and help might be provided for the mass of the people. That is what I will concern myself with primarily. Local hospitals, locally supported, and aug mented by this fund, is the ideal of the Duke Foundation.” The Deadly “Blindspot.” Charlotte Observer. A cause of automobile accidents, grade crossing street intersection and skidding accidents, that is not generally recognized by the public is receiving the attention and thought of medical science and automotive engineering science. In other words, they are trying to miimize the haz ard of the deadly blindspot in auto mobile driving. Careful investigations y U. S. Army aviation surgeons have em phasized the fact thnt a great ma jority of people have an impercept ible defect of vision called "im balance,” which might at any instant result in fatal disaster to an operat ing pilot. The same condition is true of automobile drivers, whom Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, characterizes as “motor ists who look but do not see.” and whose improperly balanced eye muscles are responsible for many street intersection. grade crossing and skidding accidents. Tiie automobile driver, according to Dr. Heury J. Sohireson, the Chi cago authority on imbalanced vision, or, as better known to the layman, cross-eyes, is becoming more con cerned with perfect eye fusion, which means that the eyes are in perfect muscular balance to receive the light rays and thus see one object with both eyes and at the same time I being able to see side objects. “But.” j says Doctor Schireson, “Should he! have a defect, even five degrees of | crosseyes, he might be entirely nn eonsooius of an approaching object from right or left, even though he has turned his eyes nt a proper angle to encompass the image of the ap proaching vehicle. “Lack of fusion is caused when there is not the proper baianee I among the opposing groups of ocular muscles. Almost 85 per cent of the . American population have thnt im- I balance: one group of muscles over powers another and prevents proper focusing. Such a condition is really imperceptible cross-eyes, the serious- I ness of which may be momentarily | increased under strain, fatigue and' sharp changes in whenther condi- i tions. “That widespread imbalance is al-] so responsible for the inability of an automobile driver to judge dis-l tance properly, and makes him err in I his efforts to think in terms of space ! when seeking to avoid a possible ac-1 cident.” In the AVinter months when'! streets nre wet and slippery, the * j most accurate judges of distance'! frequently come to grief, because of ! their natality to obtain traction, jj With brakes quickly applied a carl, unequipped with non-skid chains is! thrown into a skid, nullifying the value of the margin of safety given by the one nnd one-half seconds that it takes a car to travel 30 feet at 20, miles an hour. That is one more reasone why the aatomobile driver should never com promise with safety. STINGIEST PERSON. New York Miror.

Sucto is the conclusion of WilHanj C. Gregg, one of the mem bers of the Southern Appalachian National Park commission, which at the behest of Secretary of Interior Work undertook the ask of locating sites for a national park in the east. In the current number of the “Out look.*’ Mr. Griggs tells of the search for these parks, and presents a vivid picture of the necessity for the early creation of tliese great playgrounds. The article, which has a prominent position in this issue of the “Outlook” is entitled “Two New National Parks?” and beneath this caption is a map showing the relative location of these proposed parks and the fol lowing legend: “You can have them if you want them, as the map on this page stiow«. The proposed parks lie close to the thickly populated sec tions of the East, the South, and the middle West. One lies close to the national capitol itself. Ask your Congressman if he will help.’’ Six illustrations accompanying Mr. Gregg's article show the beauties of the Great Smoky Mountains section, and the devastation done by the lum berman's axe, fire and the consequent erosion. In introduction of his subject Mr. Gregg writes: “Crider the shadow of a great tele scope a man with a microscope may be unfolding new worlds. “Thousands of discoverers followed Columbus and Balboa. When did the firisi white man see Niagara Falls, the big trees of California, the Yellow stone geysers, and Ausoble Chasm ? “Has everything been fully discov ered in the Cnited States? I guess j not. A commission of five men. ap-1 pointed by the secretary of the in-1 terior, last year, with powers to hunt! for a national park in the southeast, found two which were unknown and might have remained ‘unheralded and unsung* if the old spirit of explora tion had not spurred them on. “Timber cutters cruised the areas, but their views were commercial. A good many hunters had pursued game in both areas; but the impelling ad venture was evidently the chase and rtie kill, for they did not pay much more attention to the remarkable scenery than did the dogs they were following. “This commission composed of five national park ‘experts’ were of all men most skeptical before they put on their canvas clothes and started to examine a few suggested ‘parks.’ “We Americans hunt oil because we want oil, and by George, we find it! We want one or two places worthy to be called National Parks in the East, and we find them.” Secretary of the Interior Work, is, according to Mr. Gregg, the first to set about to find national park sites in the East in a scientific manner, and he has been a persistent adviser to Hie park commission in their ef forts. Mr. Gregg in his article pays high tribute to Secretary Work and Steph en T. Mather, the director of the Na tional Park Service. Os these men and their work, he writes: “If you ever get the blues and think our government is corrupt and inef ficient, just take a look at the Na I Columbia Sleds j Have Your Fun While j the Snow Is Here I Yorke & Wadsworth Co.

You will find a hnrd-work ing. economical crew with a high av erage interest in serving the public. I They arc protecting our property, that wc and our descendants may en joy it.” “If we can save these two eastern areas and turn them over to the Na tional Park Service, it will make them accessible by roads to seenery and -by-paths to the virgin forests.” Mr. Gregg writes. “It will restock them with native game, so that elk deer and buffalo can again be seen in herds in the East. It will protect the wonderful flowering shrubs and the greatest collection of rare plant life in America. • , ‘You say ‘AA'hy not leave them aline, why make roads?' Because forty million American people who live within a twelve-hour journey of these high nnd cool areas need the outdoor life they can give, and be cause the lumbermen are cutting the remaining trees in these small areas of virgin forest. “The Almighty makes beautiful " forms combined with beautiful faces, and we marvel and admire. If either the form or the face is tampered with, we lose interest. God made the moun tain form and covered it with a face of beautiful plant life. Most of the forests have been ept down by man; but here we find several places where the face of splendid mountains still blossom in all their virgin beauty. “AA’e are a spendthrift nation: but not a wholly idiotic people to sacrifice scenic gems to the axe of the woods man. who himself makes little, if any, profit. He is only cutting be cause it is his business to cut so long as there are trees standing.” As an illustration of the disastrous effects of erosion, Air. Gregg points in his article to the experience of India, and China. On this point, he writes: “One reason that China is a deca dent. famine-stricken country is be j cause individual interest haR gradu ally consumed the trees and left the surface barren. One reason that In dia has hundreds of nbandoned dams and water reservoirs is because the mud lias washed down from deforest ed areas and filled them full of enrth. Our own great water reservoirs of the AA’est are slowly filling up with mud. largely because cur talk about refor estation is, so far. principally talk.” The two park sites are, Mrs. Gregg declares, the "most consicpous in the East ns to scenery, trees and plant life.” "It may be admitted,” he says, “that they are secondary to the AA'est in rugged grandeur, bnt they are first in beauty of woods, in thrilling fairy land glens, and in the warmth of Mother Nature's welcome. AA’hen park roads enable you to motor to the highest points, which our com mission only reached oil foot, when you can get an unobstructed view where we had to climb trees to see, you. may argue that the vistas from these tops are finer than those of the AA’est. "Dr. AA'ork. being a physician as well as an administrator, thinks of these parks in terms of outdoor health of eastern America. Our commis sion. being composed of practical men, thinks with him also of the business, social and political advantages of the mingling of the North with the South, of the West with the East. “Surely democracy can have no bet ter schoolroom than a national park where ail meet as equals to learn and enjoy.” RBMKMBBR /T\ & Calumet is the world’s biggest sell* vJffulfn l. „ iug baking powder, because it is the world’s best baking powder* Use it Mjfgg; and practice true economy* m CJUUMET W BAKING POWDER -i. —WTTWT.

Be ing pressed to meet the completion j date, which made it necessary for the , work to go on without an interrup tion, a large number of electric heat- ! ers were used as shbwn in the illus tration. The mortar was placed di rectly in front of the heater and the 1 workman, standing near by, also 1 kept warm.

Names of Garments Traced to Many Languages Study of costume terms reveals that the names of many garments, like the articles themselves, have had an in teresting history and date from early times. In fact, the word “costume” it self is the same as “custom”—that which is customarily worn. The “cap,” for instance, is a relic of the “cappa,” a cape with a hood. When the cape fell Into disuse, the name, was shortened to apply only to that portion that went over tj»e head. The hero of Burns’ poem explains the “Tam O’Shantcr,” the term “pa jamas” is of Hindoo derivation, the origin being “paejama” or leg cloth ing. “Coat” is from the Latin “cotta,” a tunic; “jacket” sprang from “jaque,” a short coat of mail and “jumpers” describe a garment which the wearer slips on, or into which he jumps. The “knickers" of today recall the wide breeches first worn in America by Dutchmen, who were called “kniekbockera” by Washington Irv ing. “Bkirt" is allied to “shirt”; a “petticoat,” originally worn by men, was, in French, a “petit cotte” or small coat; pinafore is something pinned before and “apron” is a con traction of “naperon” or cloth. “Kilts” got their name because they are kilted or tucked up; “frock” comes from the "free” worn by French monks; “clog” was a wooden-soled shoe for use in mud, and “pumps” take their name from “pompe,” a French word meaning ornament. * * * Ammonia Application for Spilled Battery Acid Ammonia water, quickly applied, will prevent damage from acid that may be dropped while taking a hy drometer reading.
