DR. COQVER DESCRIBES
HOSPITALS OF ROME
Says He Has Not Yet Mastered
Italian Tolley Fare
System
Dr. Carson Coover, whose travel
letters to the home folks are most
interesting, has sent another section
of his diary from Florence under date
of March 20. He says in his latest
letter that he appreciated the art
treasures of Rome all the more be
cause the sightseeing came as a pleas
ant interruption to his attendance at
medical clinics. Dr. Coover has
been visiting the hospitals of the old
world a.nd he ?-leaks enthusiastically
of what he has observed in medical
and surgical practice. In one of the
large hospitals in Rome there are
1,500 beds and all the patients pay
$1.40 a day, or, if unable, the city
pays the bill. There are no private
rooms, that class of patients being
treated in private hospitals. Dr.
Coover describes the hygienic appoint
ments of the hospital and the modern
surgical facilities.
Dr. Coovcr goes directly from Venice
to Vienna and he will also take a short
excursion to Budapest. He says he
has not fully solved the fare system of
tile Italian trolleys, but knows it Is
very cheap—two to Ave cents.
He says he found much of Interest
in a study ol' the psychologic features
of the Monte Carlo community, but
was not tempted to Indulge in the
play because, as he says, "the odds
are strongly against the player, but
it was fascinating to see all of these
people risk their money in an attempt
to get something for nothing."
He found the Bay of Naples most
attractive and his first experience with
the customs officers more or less ex
citing. He describes Naples as the
city of joyful noise, but found Rome
full of interest everywhere.
