CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL TO BE DEDICATED WITHIN SHORT TIME Perkins' Patients to Be Moved to West Side Quarters This Week PLAYGROUND IS PROVIDED State Furnishes Every Equipment Possible for Aid of Its Orthopedic Work Formal dedication of the $150,000 Iowa's little cripples until their Iowa's little criplles until their back and limbs are straightened, will take place soon at the University. The new hospital is now entirely completed and the patients will likely be moved this week. During the year under the provision of the Perkins law, 2,227 plaster casts were made for the bodies and limbs of the state's cripples. Dr. Arthur Steindler, head of the orthopedic work, reports that 320 operations were performed. In Effect Three Years More than 800 of the 977 cases which have been treated in the University hospital since the Perkins law went into effect three years ago have been healed at the expense of the state, the cost of treatment and hospital care being beyond the means of the parents. In this same period 1500 out-patients were treated in this department; these children did not come to the hospital to live. Half of the cases with which Dr. Steindler deals are the result of infantile paralysis. Congenital deformities and tuberculosis of the bone and joint are other more prevalent diseases he combats. Accommodates 100 The new hospital will accommodate more than a hundred patients at a time. Situated on a high bluff above the river it gives the children plenty of fresh country air. Beautiful playgrounds surround the building. Two new cottages have been secured by the University to house the nurses who care for the crippled children. A certain definite part of the course in nurses' training school will experience in the Children's hospital. Quarters for superintendents and internes are provided in the hospital. The children occupy only the ground floor, but a number of spacious rooms have been built above. The hospital is constructed in units so that additions may be made to it as the needs increase. R.H. SYLVESTER HEADS RECONSTRUCTION WORK Capt. R. H. Sylvester, psychology professor at the University, is at the head of the educational reconstruction work at Camp Grant. Capt. Sylvester was in charge of the psychological board at that camp up to the time of the signing of the armistice. He was located at Camp Dodge for several months in similar work. Practical work for wounded soldiers in the factories at Rockford will be instituted by Captain Sylvester. Drs. Erling Thoen, E. S. Smith, and R. H. Volland gave a clinic and lectures before the Davenport District Dental society in Davenport last week. Tryouts for University Players will be held Tuesday evening at 7:15. COL. SMITH PRAISES R. O. T. C. Inspector Says Iowa Unit Has Excellent Prospects That the University will have the best equipped R. O. T. C. in the country, was the declaration of Lieut. Col. Ira Smith, inspector of the eighth district of the R. O. T. C., to Colonel Mumma, commandant of cadets, after viewing the recently constructed barracks across the river during his tour of inspection here Friday. The eighth district of the R. O. T.

C. units in these states, expressed great satisfaction as to the military situation at Iowa, in a conference with President Jessup and Colonel Mumma. At this conference the plans of the department for the establishment of various branches of service were discussed. According to the military department, favorable progress is being made at the present time, with excellent prospects for the future. Application has been made for three or four additional commissioned officers and eight non-commissioned officers. The requisition for clothing is ready, and there is to be no delay in filling the order.

DEFEAT HAWKEYES CORNELL QUINTET IN ROUGH GAME Early Part Was Fast-Last Half Lags-Methodists Fail to Get Easy Shots HAWKEYE DEFENSE STRONG Kidder Star for Visitors, Berrien and Olsen Get Three Field Goals Iowa won a rough and tumble battle from the Cornellians last night by the lop sided score of 28 to 6. Two field goals, one in each half, was the best the visiting aggregation could do although they put up a game fight. Coach Bannick's Hawkeyes opened the game in a whirlwind fashion when Captain Berrien scored on a spectacular shot from near the middle of the floor. Nicholaus followed his leader's example and executed a similar thrilled a second layer. The play during the initial period was fast and furnius, but Cornell gradually lagged to the rear because of the inability of the visitors to make the easy shots that were offered to them from time to time. Baskets by Berrien and Olson gave the Old Gold crew a 15 to 4 lead when the first frame ended. In the last period the game dragged somewhat and was characterized by rough play on the part of the Mt. Vernon five. Captain Sanderson was forced to leave the floor with four personal offenses chalked against him. The Hawkeye defense was much stronger during the last part of the game, and a few opportunities were offered the enemy. One basket made at the start gave the Methodists the only points for their tally during the period. Berrien and Olson with three baskets each, were splendid performers for the Old Gold offensively, while Brown deserves a great deal of credit for his remarkable foul throwing. Worth, entering the game in the last half, made good in fine style, by tallying two field goals in quick succession. Kidder was the outstanding star for the visitors both offensively and defensively.
