The suggestion that the repudiation of the story of Jonah and tho whale in "A New Commentary on Holy Scripture," edited by Bishop Gore, which was recently published, was based upon insufficient knowledge of the whale is made by Mf. G. H. Henn, of Granthamroad, Sparkbrook, Birmingham. Mr. Henn said to a Daily Mail reporter: I My own experience was in Bir-' mingham about 25 years ago, when the carcass of. a wihale was displayed for a week on vacant land in Navigation-street, outside New-street Station. . I was one of 12 men who went into its mouth, passed through its throat, and moved about in what was equivalent to a fair-sized room. Its throat was large enough Jto serve as a door. Obviously it would be nuite easy for a whale of this kind to swallow a man. I Mr. Henn quoted a story from "Sixty three year? of engineering science and social work," by the late SirsFrancia Fox, the engineer, which was \old him by tihe manager of a whaling station.

TJhe n4*ra* tive proceeded: The sailors were startled by something which gave spasmodic signs of life, and inside was found the missing sailor, doubled up and unconscious. He \VaB kindly and carefully treated by the captain and the officers of the ship, and gradually regained possession Of his senses. At the end of the third day he had entirely recovered from' the shock and resumed this duties. Martley affirms that he would prob'ahly have lived inside his house of senses through fright, and not fitom flesh until he starved, for he lest his lack of air." ft' flitaMy 'flaWned upon him thig h* 'h*& been swallowed by the whalp, and he was overcome ; by horror at The' rfdtuati<m. could easily breathe, but the heht wis terrible.

Besides the actual figures that make up the statistical side, there are several important things that should be mentioned, ns they i-xtend the usefulness of the institution, and have proven to be of great service to the community. First among these in importance tomes the x-Kay. The increase in the number of pictures and the improvement in the kind taken show a big advance in this branch. The Dia-thermy and Alpine light, more recent additions, have been in constant use since their installation. This is especially true of the latter. The lii at of last year, "The Court Inn and Its Cuests" contributed through Mr. Charles 13. Fritz, the sum of $2,000.00 to i)r Corbett, for the installation of an electric bath cabinet, rubbing table and needle shower, and for changing the South porch into a ward for children. These have all been done. Treatments are being given in hydrotherapy, and the added space giveh by enclosing both porches in glass has been used to advantage since tho work was completed. The hospital has kept up its reputation of being one of the cleanest .ind most attractive in the south, and that entails constant repair work and small improvements that are too detailed to mention here. Statistics 1 here were treated during 1928, as bed patients, 878 persons. 608 were white, .'ho colored. In the clinic, where minor injuries. dressings of former operative patients, minor operations are performed and treatments are given, there were 232 patients, and 787 visits. Of the regular patients, 246 were full pay cases. Of the part pay, or ward cases, 128 were white, and 100 colored. Of the free cases, there were 147 white and about the same number colored. In the Laboratory, there were 1,850 examinations of various Hinds on inpatients, and 339 oh ddt-patients. These numbers are #f>proximate, u3 some cases were not recorded. In the X-Ray department 68 pictures were made of in-patients, and 48 of clinic cases. There were 492 major operations performed on in-patients. 208 of thes4 were abdomfnul sections.- There were 68 minor onerfctioa* ^er^ormed on in-patients, and 80 ou out-patiehts. In the sutffrical cisb*, thtfrfe Vfer4'13 deaths. * - Thete were 59 obstetrical cases, with 6# babies, there h*fog one pair of twins. 'Sixteen Caesare'an Sections were performed, with 1 death for mothers, and 2 for babies. 163 children hAdei* twelve were treated for various disorders.

JiOO.OO Total $1,440.00 In addition to the above there have been those whose time and effort cannot be calculated in dollars and cents. Of the foremost of these, the Ladies' Auxiliary, enough cannot be said. They stand back of the hospital with untiring support and encouragement, without which it would be crippled indeed. , The Board of Directors also keep the interest of the hospital at heart. It consists of: John W. Corbett, M. D. president and managing director; S. C. Z.emp, M. D. vice-president; M. BarUfch, treasurer; L. A. Wittkowsky, secretary; H. G. Carrison, Sr.?' W; R. Hough,. W.
