BEATEN BY INCREASED COSTS.

THE CRISIS AT THE LONDON-

HOSPITAL

It has come as a shock to many people -to-barn-that-disaster overhangs the Londen Hospital. We are beaten." Lord Knut ford writes, "beaten by the increased cost of everythingalaries, wages, food, drugs, and all that is necessary to run a grut bespital."

Unless greatly helped, the hospita cannot continue to pay, its bills or expenses The sum of £100,000 has already been bor rbwed, and by the end of the year even if the receipts keep up, there will be a defeit of £110,000..

The crisis entirely due, Mr. E. W.. Morris, the house governor, explained to s' representative of the Ohserver, to the in- creased cost of living. Before the war rike ja expenditure was slow and perfectly legitimate. Fifty years ago the cost per bed was £87 a year. It had risen by 1913 to £148.

The reason for this increase from £87

to £148." Mr. Morris akl,"was due to

Fifty years ago all that a hospital bad to give for treatment was ahelter, warmth, and rest. The whole of the scientific apparatus consisted of little more than a stethoscope. The surgeon or physician, when he walked into the ward, had everything for the patient in his own head.

To-day that is all changed. We now regard the patient's bil as the battle area, on which a dozen different laboratories and We scientific departments are focused.. are making, as a result a better ight against disease, as is proved by the fact that

the number of patients passing through each bed is twice as many

Fifty years ago the average time a bed was occupied by a single patient was, 35 days That meant, roughly, ten pate. ients a year for each bed. The number has increased now to more thaz" twenty, for what has been done by the advance of scienes has enabled the breadwinner to leave the hospital in. 17 days instead of 35.!?

With the legitimate increase in the cost per bed before the war the hospital was able to keep pace. But since 1913 the cost has jumped from £148 per bed to £248, and that is why all hospitals aro crippled at this moment.

In the following table a comparison "is made between some of "The London 's" bills in 1913 and 1910---

THE FUTURE OF GAS.

At the annual general meeting of the Institution of Gas Engineers, Sit Dugald Clerk, the President apoke in confident terms of the future of the gas industry. He insisted, however, that one condition of ita proper development is that it should be hampered a little as possible by legal inter! ference, and at the same time deplored the mistaken tendency on the part of some legislators to depreciate the relative value of gaz the " compared with clectricity. Though their respective capacities for production of light and power are in all probability very much on a par, gas is, of ihe two, by far the more efficient as a generator of beat... To secure the expansion of which the industry is capable it must,

said, be supplied at the lowest possible price consistent with Enancial stability, in. order to compete with the necessarily cheaper heat-unit in the form of coal. In

of twenty million tons of coal car-

half went to the production and distribu tigo of coal gas, while the rest remained available in the shape of coke and semi- liquid tar and oil. If gas could have been generated from the whole coal at a suth ciently high thermal efficiency, without production of coke, sixteen of the twenty million tons would have been available-sur distribution. That would mean that the same amount of coal now carbonized would. produce a supply of gas of more than thre times the potential heat, light, and power requirements of the country. Sir Dugald Clerk apparently believes that there is a distinct posibility that this process may some day be practically realized, general lizes he recommends the formation of a research committee for the study of all kind of gas appliances and the encour agement of invention and discovery in con- nection with the industry. The importance of the economic production of heat and power End light is so great that there are strong grounds for hope cheap and that his scheme

than to pay men to extinguish and re-light them. It is some consolation to learn that competent an authority as Sir Dugald Clerk considers that there is still much Pro- gress to be made in the scientific production of the manufactured article, and that he in urging the gas engineers to keep that end in view.-TimACA,
