CITY HOSPITAL CLOSES BIGGEST YEAROFHISTORY Many Improvements Made During Twelve Months at the Big Institution King Mars did not affect in the least the amount of life-saving and foody-healing work done at the Har risburg Hospital during the past year, more patients being cared for at the institution than at any time in its history. Twenty-one hundred and sixty threo persons were admitted and treated as free patients while the to tal number of patients cared for reached the 3,51$ ligure during the year. The total number of days of treatment reached the 43,622 ligure. Statistics to this effect are contained in the annual report of the board of managers of the hospital, just is sued. The above iigures are all exclu sive of work done in the dispensary. To better serve the needs of Har risburg and its people, extensive im provements and changes have been made during the year at the insti tution. Their true magnitude of the improvements is revealed in the an ryial report. During the year a new genito urinary department has been in stalled, a home for nurses was pur chased, medical, surgical and other esseutial equipment modernized, a new two-story ibrick garage erecteu and provisions made lur the employ ment of an efficient dietitian. War activities of physicians, nurses and other employes occupied a. section of the report. Whole hearted praise is given in the report to employes who have seen tit to enter their country's service against the Hun. The new genito-urinary depart ment was installed during the year and Dr. John H. Fager, Jr., Dr. John uenslager, Jr. and Dr. S. N. Traver were selected to head the depart ment. This new department was es tablished in the local institution, alter rules of its management had been abrogated and alter a request had been made by the State Health Department that it be installed be cause of the establishment of only a tew institutions for the treatment of sexual diseases. Tile resume shows that during the year the old Hickok residence at 115 South Front street, has been pur chased for a nurses' home and that improvements and alterations are now being made on it at tne expense of the \v oman's Aid Society. The present home at 117 Nortn Front street, will be abandoned and likely be used as an isolation ward such as has long been neeued at the hospital for the treatment of contagious cases. New medical equipment of the most modern type nas been added to the several departments of the institution to 'bring their efficiency to the highest degree. A Collidge tube has oeen secured for the de partment of roentgenology through the generosity of Airs. bynian L>. Gilbert. A new horizontal tluoro scope has also been Installed. A free bed has been added to the equip ment of the institution, the gitt of William T. Hildrup, Jr., a new mem ber of the board of managers. The laundry equipment has been entirely modernized by the addition of some new equipment. This machinery was donated uy the Woman's Aid So ciety. All private rooms of the building and the reception room were re painted and decorated during the year by the Woman's Aid Society, which also equipped the new ma ternity ward .long needed by the in stitution. To serve the needs of the patients much uetter, provision has 'oeen made for the employment of a skilled dietitian to perioral the work now being done by the matron. A two-story brick garage building was completed during the year at the rear of the hospital. It was erected at the cost of $4,200, half of which cost was contributed by the Bethle hem Steel Company. The local institution has contribut ed many employes to the United States service, the report shows. Three staff physicians have entered the service with several others en rolled in the Medical Reserve Corps and ready to go. Dr. Henry A. Gor man, chief resident physician; his successor. Dr. Andrew J. Geist, and Dr. J. C. Alexander, an interne, have enrolled and are in active serv ice. * Nineteen nurses are now engaged in active Red Cross work and no less than a dozen others are awaiting the call to go. Frank A. Bobbins, Jr., manager of the Steelton plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company, and William T. Hildrup, Jr., of the Harrisburg Pipe and Pipe Bending Works, were elect ed to the board of managers during the year. Mr. Bobbins succeeded Quincy Bent, who resigned when transferred from Steelton to assume the vice-presidency of the company, with offices at Bethlehem. The cohiplete personnel of the board includes: Spencer C. Gilbert, James M. Cameron, Andrew S, Mc- Creath, Haldeman O'Connor, Henry B. McCormick, Benjamin F. Burns, David E. Tracy, Herman P.
