Hospital for Dr. Carrel. An acre of frame buildings on the Rockefeller Institute lawn, Sixty Fourth Street and Ave. A, was revealed yesterday, July 15, 1917, as America's first portable hospital of fifty beds, yet capable of immediate transportation, will be used to demonstrate the Carrel-Dakin wound cure. It is a model on which the War Department may standardize hospitals, A great American contribution to war and humanity. A singular feature of the portable hospital are the "Bomb exits". Every now and again a base hospital is bombed by German aeroplanes leaving the building ablaze, every few yards a section of the wall swings outward on a pulley apparatus forming a door by which patients and nurses may escape. All windows are made on a patent design which throws the draft from the patients. There is as much fresh air and light as in a tuberculosis-cure bungalow
