"'V: Many Facilities For First Class Service Cannot. B. Obtained For Lack of Money; Usefulness Increasing by Leaps BY ALLEN SANGREB The onward march for usefulness and expansion at the Harrlsburg Hospital has been set forth by the superintendent in a recent report with such accuracy that the facts should center attention not only of the city but of the considerable neighborhood which also benefits from this Institution.

In order to make the situation plain to everyone, statistics are given of three individual epochs in the hospital's advance, namely, 1909, 1914, 1919. In each of the ten year periods one may easily follow the several steps of progress, such as increase in receipts and disbursement; number of patients, Interne and dispensary; of staff physicians, nurses, employes, operations, and emphatically of the cost for maintenance. To argue that health is a priceless asset is superfluous; every intelligent person realizes that It means contentment and the main resource through which one may work out a purpose In this lite. So Important is health that many are adopting the preventive method in having periodical examinations by capable physicians, thus early detecting the beginning of a disease and arresting Additional Directory on Opposite Page its development. The greater number, hdwever, await a crisis in their ailment which makes the modern hospital a necessity, a rescue and an aid.

That the Harrlsburg Hospital splendidly serves this purpose in addition to receiving a multitude of accident victims is proven beyond all question by this luminous report Influenza Enidemic Take for example its activity In coping with the lnfluena epidemio so heroically approacnea Dy an mono associated with the hospital that 406 patients improved and recovered. With the tremendous volume of admissions, 426 in a period of ten weeks, a call for outside help was Imperative. The response and spirit In which this arduous task was undertaken will never be forgotten by those who saw the self sacrinces. Very Justly the hospital board gave formal recognition of tne xorutuae, devotion and tireless energy exhib ited by all the hospital attaches and to the efficient manner in which the medical staff and resident physicians acouitted themselves. It should be remembered that in the combat with this human blight, a member or tne resident staff.

Dr. Samuel Gavronsky, and younar Drobationary nurse, Miss Elsie Wilver, succumbed. Each of these had endeared themselves and given promise by the gauge of their service and Interest of becom ing valued community assets and it is with deep regret that a record of this irreparable loss must De wnacn. Another Instance or wnoiesaie ac tivity is that of hypertrophy, or growths of various kinds, but especially adenoids and tonsils, a very serious menace 'to old and young, but one so deftly handled by the hospital sursreons that in one year, June 1. 1918.

to May 31. 1919. 555 victims were operated upon with complete recovery, none being lost. In the same period that very com mon disorder of appendicitis brought in 288 patients, or whom zb re covered, small percentage of un fortunate being acute conditions with the addition of abscess. To detail the entire gamut of surgical condi tions treated In one year would re quire much space but the small quota of failure to save life is most significant This concise, impressive report shows that in 1909.

receipts from patients totalled $3,129.69, consider ably less than the disbursements, $37,030.37. But after five years' continuous advance, in efficiency, the discrepancy lessened to receipts, the disbursements, $53, 428.92. By 1919 so pronounced had become the requests for admission that receipts jumped to $137,926.37, for the first time going, well ahead of expenses, which were $129,140.24. In other words, the receipts of Harrlsburg Hospital in ten years increased a percentage of 292 while the disbursements increased a percentage of 249. But Meager Margin To the ordinary, unacquainted reader, this would Indicate a surplus, but in reality, it is but a meager margin to assist in securing the needs for the year ahead.

During the year it was necessary to borrow money to 'secure extension facilities, and even now the of a much needed electric elevator alone would transmute the excess Into a deficit Many facilities for first class service cannot now be obtained for lack of funds. Furthermore, in 1914, there were but six buildings, not one telephone, no ambulance, no maternity ward, no salaried residents, no laboratory technician, but such has been the persistent and substantial effort that now we and ten buildings (two of them leased), a telephone switchboard with four trunk and thirty house lines and three operators, a motor luaaiuac) ambulance and an other (Packard) in process of com pletion; a splendid maternity de partment with private rooms, one cmer resident physician and four salaried residents, one laboratory technician. In this ten year period more space has been furnished by fourteen beds in the maternity ward, six beds in the addition rear of main building and three beds in the end corridor rooms. To show how the patronage keeps on increasing may be cited the 1,364 interne patients in 1909 compared with 8,978 in 1919, gain of 192 per cent. In 1909, paying patients of the dispensary numbered 176; in 1919, 1,810.

Free patients decreased 27 per cent, from 5,560 to 4,565. The number of attending physicians expanded from twenty to thirty four; nurses from thirty one to thirty nine; employes from eighty three to 117; operations, 1,306 to free patients, 876 to pay patients, 422 to 1,577, and the number of "hospital days" bounded from 25,071 to 43,367. The marked augmenting of Har risburg's population from 60,167 in 1909 to 75,917 In 1919, doubtless contributed to increase the number of interne patients, yet' none were slighted or refused, the hospital forces having for their keynote: "Greater efficiency and never say die!" This determination resulted in a timely increment to the pay received from patients which rose from $12 649.95 in 1909 to $84,976.75 In 1919, or a percentage of 572. Very logically, in the same period, the cost per day per capita went up from $1.55 to the ward charges from $1.33 to the dally census from eighty to 120; the annual State appropriation from $15,000 to $20,000. In this persistent drive to make the hospital more useful to Horrid burg and its wide neighborhood, two mignty adjuncts must not be overlooked, the Woman's Aid Society, whose contribution jumped from $1,200 in 1909 to $4,539.49 In 191ft and the Flower Guild, whose loyal ministration to the stricken through medium of flowers and reading matter distributed each week by the members bringing the bloom of cneer ana optimism, vital factors in aimng restored health.

The second man is believed to have hid In the dumb waiter, Carson gave the rope a casual pull and it would not move. Finding himself discovered, the man jumped through a window screen and escaped over the fire escape. About the same time, a man was noticed hastening toward the Penn syivania Railroad Station.
