Telegraphic advices received at
Moscow on Tuesday, aaid that 300
villages had been flooded by rising
waters of the northern Volga and its
tributaries.
v* Jonah and The Great Fish
Reprinted from the London Daily
Mail.
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. 'r'

^The whale was killed and next

The sailors were startled by something
which gave spasmodic signs of

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

annuai, report or hospital
The past year haa been one of in*
creased business for the Camden
hospital, ?nd its records show that
more patients were cared for dyrinf
certain months of the year than had
been cared for in the same length of
time in any year since the hospital
was established.
| The. following facts will be of interest
to the citizens of kershaw
County, and others interested :n the
hospital.
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.

were made of in-patients, and

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. R. Zemp, R. M.

faithfulness and efficiency of the
