W. Meyers, a member of the board, who is new superintending the construction of the building, for which the first car of steel has al ready been received and the ce ment work begun. Mr. Meyer'B statement follows: "For the Information of the public it Is my privilege to give he folowing facts relative to bos j.rals itVthe United States. These figure's are taken from statistics, and should have a bearing on the Salem hospital, under construc tion. "Information compiled by the government has been meager np to last year, and the available facts establish tbe following Institu tions, devoted to the cure of the tick and dependents: Hospitals and sanatoriums, 70(17; number of beds therein, i57.E; allied institutions, 1761: number ot beds 211,128; total iu stittttions, 8828; total number of beds. m;'.i. mil. Public hospitals, 1590: pay hos pitals, 8282; other hospitals, SOIT; Catholic hospitals, 929; to tal, 8828. Hospitals with bed capacity un der 25, 3 000 ; hospitals with bed capacity under 50, 17U0; hospitals with bed capacity uuder 100, liOO; baeiptals with bed capacity under 200, 700: bospitals with bed capacity under 500, 320; hospitals with bed capacity under 1 000 10fi; hospitals with bed capacity over 1000, 131 ; total, 7047. "The state of California has 473 hospital with 32,105 beds; Wash ington baa 220 hospitals with 11, OOfl beds; Oregon has 111 hos pitals with 6532 beds. "One can possibly comprehend by a glanrn at these figures, of the work of caring for the sick. The effort is of extensive proportions, as the total number ot employes Is upward of 300.000. "During last year approximate ly 8,000,000 men, women and cbidien were patients in these hos pitals, and an average of more than 1,260,000 persons, including resident physicians, nurses and other employes were housed and fed. "The investment in land, build ings and equipment amounts to nearly $2,000,000 and $750,000. 000 la expended annually for fpod products, supplies, new equip ment, etc. "It Is tbe purpose of the hospital hoard of the Salem organization to standardize your institution for hospital betterment, and it is nec essary to have your unstinted In dividual and collective support, both morally and especially finan cially, In make possible the at tempt, ns economy of construction is an imperative necessity, due to lack of funds. "Hospitals are of Importance beyond estimate, in the care of the sick, and injured, and as nam .log centers in medical education. and Salem Is fortunate in having) location so Ideally situated for efficient service. "A community organization wtih the co-operation of everyone, and adequate facilities, made pos slble by your efofrts. should make available this Important unit, which means so muchto health and well-being. "In working out the problem of building tbe plant now under con struction and so greatly needed for Salem and vicinity, (please do not assume that same will be a per fect model) but only Insofar as possible and your support will the institution be complete. The equipment of a hospital with ap pliances up-to-date means the ex penditure of thousands of dollars, and It Is the hope of members of the Salem hospital board that iu due time this will be accomplish ed. "It certainly would be a source of pride and pleasure to have a pathologic department, and one or more chemical laboratories, for the more technical, chemtcal, bac terlollc, and serologic work and examinations. Would it not be fine to have It equipped with a Roentgen-ray department, pre pared to do Koentgeoographic, fluoroscopic and therapeutic work? It is hoped that It will be possible to have a radlagraphic room, an X-ray department, a die tary department, modern surgery, etc. "Some places have hospitals so termed, poorly located, yet ade quately supplied with beds, but lacking in efficient service, Thia Is due to several causes, one in particular: the unwillingness to let a rival, as it were, come to the front in an endeavor to build for tbe community good. "Thus may we describe progress In hospitalization, and to com pare, one must have a scale for example. There are communities without hospital applicances, such as have been mentioned. Shall we be considered one? "Many are prone to forget that after a hospital is built It must be maintained, and it is opportune to suggest that you give some thought to the future by making a provision in your will that the Sa lem hospital be made a beneficiary for a stipulated amount. "The total amount pledged to date Is $47,457.73 with liberty bonds on hand totals $72,557.73, a (he approximate cost of the central unit is $82.60f), you can realize the Importance of your rai ned support. "Don't forget that 50 per cent of your subscription becomes due September first." County Has Right I Simple and Rich To Levy Tax For Fair Premiums The right oi Jauunomah county to levy a tax ot not to exceed one tenth of one mill on all taxable property within the county for the payment of expenses and pre mlum i .arils of a regularly or ganired agricultural fair assoeia tion, is upheld by Attorney Gener al Van Winkle in an opinion writ. ten for Walter H. Evana, district attorney for Mu.tnonnh county. The state law making this pro vision, Van Winkle holds, is not iii conflict" with the section of the slate constitution which provides that no county, city, town or other municipal corporation shall toe come a stockholder in any joint company, corporation or associa tion or raise money for. or loan iu credit t or In aid of any such com pany, corporation or association. The county in making the grant of money to assist in paying ex penses and premiums awards at the fair does not become a partner or stockholder of any such com pany, corporation or association, the opinion poinus out. Tbe asso ciation only receives the money in trust as distributing agent of the county and is required by statute to account for its disposition with complete vouchers covering all of its expenditures of such money. The corporation and the coun ty are but joining In promoting the agricultural, horticultural, stock and other industries of the community and the corporation acts In the capacity of an Instru mentality of the county, the opin ion declares.

Larger Prunes Are Predicted Though the tonnage of prunes In the Willamette valley Is light this season It is expected that those which are on the trees will run heavily to large sizes. It Is the opinion of Earl Pearcy, Wil lamette valley field representa tive for the Oregon Growers' as sociation, that the average size of dried prunes will be 40 to the pound while last year the average was nearer 50 to the pound. If weather conditions continue to be favorable for the next throe weeks the primes are expected to gratly increase in slz and sugar contnt. Last year's crop had a low sugar content causing them to dry out light. From 14 to 17 pounds of dried prunes were ob tained from, a bushel of green fruit but It is expected that thev will dry out heavier this year.

The big ball room and other city life scenes require much In elaborate ness of detail, particularly the gowning of the feminine Charac ters. The vast array of unusual creations tn these scenes are from the establishment of Lady Duff Gordon ("Lucile") and the furs shown here and later in other scenes are from Otto Kahn, Inc. However, the gowns worn any Miss Lillian Glsh In the prologue are of separate and distinct execution and their designing is the exclu sive work of O'Kane Cromwell, while the execution of these gar ments was solely entrusted to Dendel and to Madame Llsctte. This proves to have been a happy though, for in thep lay Miss Olsh1 Is seen as tbe simple child of the, country, thrown suddenly into the1 lavishness of city life and it Is quite fitting that her frocks be In contrast with thorte of the others., Dallas Dallas.
