The story of the hospital is flic story of progress in surgery and medicine. YVhen it begun patients were dosed with powdered snails and concoctions of adders, hats, and earth worms. Many thrilling incidents have mark ed the existence of St. Bartholomew’s.

Hogarth, the great painter, served the hospital as a governor, and his painting of the Pool of Bothesda liangs on the great staircase. Os this picture, doctors say it is possible for any medical man to diagnose the dif ferent. ailments of the paitentw, so faithfully did Hogarth depict them. Bombs at American Legue Park.

A sea rcli of the records of the American patent office lias disclosed, it was announced today by the interior department, that the armored tank, first used in the war by the British, was patented in Germany by the Gun ter Rurstyn, an Austrian, in February, 1012. The invention was practically a duplicate of the type used latev by the British and called for caterpillar construction to enable it to crawl over [ trenches, plow through wire entangle ments and perform other feats which made the British tanks successful war wea pones.

FARM CREDITS BANKS WILL OPEN ON MAY 1 I t nii'onm Discount Rate of 5-1-2 Per Cent Fixed, llow to Olitaip Loans. Washington. Apri. 22.—The leoeral farm loan board announced today that iM«y 1 had been fixed as the date for the formal opening of 12 new in termediate farm credit banks, ail of which have been chartered and will be prepared to consider aipplications for loans as provided under the new agricultural credits law. A uniform discount rate of five and one-half per cent has been fixed by a 1 of the hanks, guaranteeing to farmers credit at not exceding seven per cent with the possibility of lower interest charges. f With the announcement that the government’s part of the program for extending new loaning facilities to the farmer is ready, the problem now appears to be one of organiza tion among those who will seek guv ornment money. Certain provisions of the law require that the producers individually shall not obtain muds direct fgpm the loan hanks but must first group themsc ves into one of several kinds of organizations through which the producers’ obliga tions may lie rediscounted and passed on to tlio credit banks. Among those organizations aim co-operative map 'Coring associations, livestock "loan companies and agricultural credit corporations, each will idirtain limita tions and restrictions upon its powers to handle paper for the farmers.

Improbable' cotton growing due to boll weevil, and break down of the contract labor systems are cited in the report, made pub ic today, as contributory iauses of the migration. Approximately 13 per cent or 32,- 000 of the total number of negro farm hands in Georgia .'s .estimated to have moved north during the last 12 months and the movement con tinues although crops for tin* pres ent season are already started. A large abandonment of acreage is re ported, and the labor shortage is ex pected to be a major factor in limit ing acreage this season. The situation in Georgia is declared to lie much worse than prevailing generally. Millionaire Dies of Starvation at Geneva.

It is admitted iu French official circles that the sending of Gen. Weygand to Syria to replace Gen.

However, the French assert that their concessions are valid and that the Turks are acting in bad faith by ced ing all French concessions to Ameri cans. Tlie French say if is not in the interests of the French comity to per mit the new government iu Turkey to denounce pre-war agreements of the former imperial government. THREE KIIBE!)
