PORT JERVIS, N. Y.- -THE EVENING GAZETTE- ■ MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 1920 U.S. HOSPITAL AT CONSTANTINOPLE Designed Eventually to Be Wu- cleus of Important Medica! Center in Near East. BALKAN WOMEN MAY TRAIN Equipment of the Hospital, Which Will Have 100 Beds, Will Be Supplied by the American Red Cross. ConstantiMople.—Americans in Con- stantinoiile have established a hospital which is desij^ned eventually to be the nucleus of an important American medical center in the near East. Ad miral Bristol, the American High coiu- mi.ssioaer, is chairman of the hos pital’s board of directors, which in cludes G. B. Ravndahl, tlie American commissioner and president of the American chamber of commerce; Maj. G. Claflin Davis, director of the Amer ican Bed Cross in the near East; Col. James P. Coombs, director of the American committee for relief in the near East; Dr. Mary Mills Patrick, president of Constantinople College for Women; Dr. W. W. Feet, representing the various American missionary boards, and Mrs. Huntingdon, repre senting Robert college. Red Cross Gives Beds. Equipment for the hospital, which will have 100 beds, will be supplied by the American Bed Cross. The per sonnel will be supplied by the Amer ican Red Cross and the American com mittee for relief in the near East, both «f which have many doctors and nurses working in Turkey among war refugees of various nationalities. E>r. A. R. Hoover, who has lived for many 5 -ears in Turkey, will be direc tor of the hospital and Dr. Elfie Rich ards Graff, formerly physician to Vas- sar college and a member of the Wel lesley unit of the American commit tee for relief in the near East, will be his as.sistant. Mrs. Anna B. Roth- rock of Glenside, Pa., will be superin- leiulcmt of nurses and her assistants will be Miss A. Estelle Sutton of De troit, Miss Roberta K. Sharpe of New York and Miss Mary E. Coughlin of Acton Center, Mass. Constantinople College for Women will open a school for nurses in con nection with the hospital, and within a y e a r will open a woman’s medical college to afford medical training for women- of all nationalities and re ligions. The Rockefeller foundation has pz'omised to send a board of in- iipectlon to Constantinople and the hos pital board hopes to get the assist ance of that organization in a gen eral improvement of health and medi cal conditions in the near East. Need is Urgent. The need for a hospital for English- speaking patients is very urgent. American firms are opening branches in Constantinople every week. This has become a great rendezvous for the American nav.v. The Young Men’s Christian association and Young Wom en’s Christian association have large organizations. In addition to many re lief and missionary bodies, which are constantly in need of hospital space -for their personnel. Under the direction of the Constan tinople unit of the American commit tee for relief in the near East, an open-air hospital for tuberculous chil dren has also been established on the shore of the Bosporus a few miles north of Constantinople. . This hos pital is under the direction of Dr. Elfie Richards Graff. It has 50 beds, and is designed as a model institution which the Americans hope to get the Turkish, Greek, Armenian and Jewish communities to duplicate. The new American hospital has leased a large private residence in Btambonl. the Turkish section of Con stantinople. Edison Uses Telegraph Key First Time in 19 Years Orange, N. J.—Using a tele graph ke 5 ' for the first time in 19 years, Thomas A. Edison sent from here to a committee of the J Old-Time Telegraphers and His torical association a message to be inscribed on an imperishable phonographic disc to be placed in the association’s archive.^ as a record of his st 5 'le of “send ing.” The last time Mr. Edison used a telegraph in.strument was in 1901. Dry Cleaners “Cleaned.” Columbus, 0.—There are two suits •of convict clothing at a local dry •cleaning establishment which await a couple of convicts. When the place was opened for business the proprie tors were surprised to see the cloth ing carefully arranged on the rack, where the night previous two suits of customers’ clothing awaited their own ers. Two convicts who had escaped from tl\e state prison farm had made the exchange during the night. IOWA IS MADE TARGET Famous Battleship To Be Object ive of Big Naval Guns. Camden Buys Whitman House. Camden, N. J.—Walt Whitman’s home here, in which he is said to have written many of his best poems, has been bought by the city of Camden for .S600. The house wili be convert- <>(1 into a museum. Will Go to Sea Unmanned, Under Own Steam and Controlled by Wire less for Unique Experiment. Washington.—Tlie once famous bat tleship Iowa, which played no small part in the destruction of Cervera’s lleet at yautiago, is being prepared at the i-'hiladelphia navy yard for what naval officers say will be one of the most unique target experiments ever attempted. Pi-oceeding unmanned, but under her own steam and controlled by radio, probably from seaplanes, the old sea fighter will become the objective of the big guns of the Atlantic fleet super- dreadnaiights in Chesapeake bay late this summer. This will be the first time that American warships have used a moving craft for a target ex cept in actual war. Two of the Iowa’s coal-burning boil ers are being converted to burn oil so the ship may continue under way with no one aboard once its fires have been started burning and its engines placed in motion. It is expected that the unique prac tice will give the gun pointers of the Atlantic fleet an opportunity to test their ability under conditions as nearly like those to be e.xpected in battle as can be obtained. Smoke screens will be tlirown around the Iowa during the runs and the course will be changed at will through the radio control sys tem, necessitating a change in ran] on all the firing ships, exactly as woi occur in action. The Iowa has already been stripped of some of its guns and much valuable metal and the practice will be contin ued until the old vessel, a mass of twisted metal, sinks beneath tlie waves to join the old Texas, which, as the San Marcos, \was used as a stationary target years-ago. The battleship Ohio has been turned over to the bureau of steam engineer ing for purposes of experiment in ra dio control and a staff of expert tech nical oflicers has been placed on board to arrange the Iowa practice.

Recently TURKEY ACTIVE IN CAUCASIA Movement Is Started to Establish a Large Mohammedan Warsaw.—^A strong movement de signed to create a large Mohamme dan state iri Trans-Caucasia, extending from the Caspian sea to Erzerum, has been started, according to word re ceived here. It is designed to make the new state a satelite of Turkey. A purely national idea is said to be be hind this movement, and has nothing in common w'ith bolshevism, according to reports, excepting dislike for the al lies. It is said Lenine, the Russian pre mier and Mustapha Kemal Pasha, Turkish nationalist leader, both have the same aim to attack Great Britain. But while Kemal cannot admit Mos cow’s supremacy over Armenia and the Moliamraedan Caucasus, Lenine does not wish to see creation of a large Turkish state in the Caucasus. Consequently, though allies, the two leaders are really rivals. JAP SHIPS LACK CHARTERS Feature of Economic Depression Seen in Shortage of Cargoes— Price of Ships Declines. Tokyo.—A feature of the economic depression in Japan is the weakness of the steamer charter market. About 15 large, ocean-going ships are tied up at Kobe and Osaka, and about 50 oth er ships soon will be released from old charter contracts. Owners will have great difficulty in finding new con tracts, on account of the slump in the sea-carrying trade. With the accentuated depression in the shipping market, the price of ships lias declined, the present standard quo tation being equivalent to $135 to $14.0 a ton. In spite of the decline there have been no buyers at home for some time past, but some vessels are being sold to Dutch concerns. TRACING HISTORY CF BED Many V-Tirict’cs Hav» B-en Not A|! of \Th<»m r'\ Heaithf'ji S eep.

The Ibunans \.sed rmeah frtime work beds, interlaced with thopgs, al though, of courso. till' idea was much improved upon in I he beds of some of the emperors, ornamented with jew els. After the thong-aml-frameworlr bed came the finst idea of a nuattress. in the shape of the “chest bed.” This was a kind of slinllow box stuffed with dry moss or feather.s, and til though it must have been comfortable, It must, at the same time, have been extreni insanitary. Later on came {be four-poster canopy bedsteads. These pieces of “sleeping furniture” were hung with curtains which did little else but collect dust and keep away fresh air. One had to be wealthy to sleep at all comfortably in those days, for although there were plenty of vermin about, there was no effective insect-killer. So wlien the bed of a rich man became infested, he moved to another of his houses, and let the vermin die of starvation. The poor man, with only one house, merely grinned and bore it—or, rather, them. > big TRUCKING AMOVING • Of all kinds promptly at- I tended to. Horses for sale and ex , change.
