The present library, dining room, five private rooms and the kitchen were added in 1935.The library serves as a chapel, and religious services for all denominations are given there for patients and employees. In addition clergymen of all faiths make regular visits to patients,St. Luke’s has pioneered in clinical work in Arizona. In fact, since the beginning of the hospital the staff has been alert to new treatments which, might benefit the patients, according to Dr. W. Warner Watkins, 206 E. Moreland.Dr. Watkins took over the care of the patients at St. Luke's from Dr. E. Payne Palmer Sr., 6012 N. Central Ave., in 1909 and moved to tSt. Luke’s with his wife in the j summer of 1911, becoming St. Luke’s first resident physician. Dr. Palmer was on the original medical staff at St. Luke’s.Dr. Watkins soon established a laboratory at the hospital and there the first diagnostic X-ray and clinical laboratory work in the state of Arizona was done.FIRST COMPLEMENT fixation tests for tuberculosis and the first pneumothorax treatments administered in the state also were given at St. Luke’s, Dr. Watkins stated.Dr. Watkins, who is now director of the Medical Center Lab-atory, explained that the first patient to receive the pneumothorax treatment was a severe hemorrhage case who recovered and was a merchant in Phoenix for. many years.“The second case was Mrs. Bertrand R. Cocks, 17 East Thomas Rd., and William J. Horspool, 32d W. Solano Drive, now business manager of the Medical Center Laboratory, was the third. These cases were reported in 1913 with illustrations of the apparatus de-i signed by the late Clarence Boynton, then a patient at the home.Dr. Watkins left St. Luke’s in 1914 to establish the Pathological I Laboratory together with Boynton and Horspool, but has contin-• ued to do radiology work for the hospital through the years and is on the Honorary Medical Staff, as 1 are Doctors Palmer, Fred G.| Holmes, and Earle W. Phillips.Dr. Watkins’s sister, Carabel Watkins, was one of the first graduate nurses at St. Luke’s..She is now Mrs. C. A. Spurrier and lives in Santa Ana, Calif.i THROUGH THE YEARS from j 1907 until 1941, the success and I progress of St. Luke’s was due j largely to the work of its first superintendent, affectionately known as Bert Cocks. His determination and zeal carried St Luke’s on, even when faced with seemingly unsurmountable problems. ’Phoenicians will recall, too, that 1 it was the late Reverend Cocks who conducted the first Easter sunrise service at the. Grand Canyon with Howard Pyle.St Luke’s is, and always has been, a -non-profit institution governed by a board of trustees who serve without pay.High medical standards have been maintained through theyears and today St Luke’s boaststhe neighborhood, with complete disregard to life and property, we suppose we ought to say: “Okay, let him follow the dictates of his own mind.” But no, we don’t say that. We run out and try to stop him before he’s busted half a dozen windows or cracked a neighbor on the skull.ON OCCASIONS like this we try to reason with him, hoping he'll take a mild lecture in the spirit in which it is intended. Usually he rebels, and stalks into the house or to the backyard where he’s liable to sulk for ahalf-an-hour or longer. Or, toget even with us, he’ll think of something just as dangerous to do.Sometimes we can’t decide whether our son is mean and nasty, or just careless. So far, we think he has all the makingswho recently turned 10, not only would tell us how his life should be led, he would tell us also how to lead ours. Since he’s a bit too young to read and understand child psychology, we know he didn't get this idea from books. He apparently picked it up somewhere along the way, liked it, and decided to stick with it.WHEN WE ASK him to take a bath at night, and he replies: “Aw, Daddy, I ain’t dirty,” we suppose we ought to pass it off as one of his prerogatives. Instead, we prod him 18 or 20 times until he shuffles disgustedly toward the bathroom and after muttering under his breath a couple of times, finally opens the water tap.If he wants to go to the movies—against our wishes—he gives us-the old saw about “the otherCAPAC, Mich Sparks still fly rings from the b blacksmith in C mechanized ageThe communif here is one of t in the area but. i old Richard Kn from dying a lix“Sometimes it work than I can Krause said. “1 miles or more work to ,ne.”Most of the smithy shoes are in pulling contes hibited at fairs.le for Life is *et behind the [, was not too lism brings in:or one reason ith a group of irial days.
