The Changing Years.

There have been great changes here and
elsewhere since 1919, changes affecting
material comfort, the language and man.
ners, and the external observance of So
ciety. Medicine comes more and more to
the front with its advancing knowledge,
and with the growing intelligence of the
people, especially is its Importance in the
prevention of disease more distinctly rec
ogniZed When will our national legislators
wisely decide that the health and lives of
cur many millions are as important subjects
for their consideration and care post
Offices, pensions, and products of mines
and manufactures, and wool? When shall
there be established a department of pub
lie health. under the control of a competent
medical man? This duty is imperative; this
action ought 20 be immediate.
Il might, IN final words, eulogiZe the
work of the physician, and exalt the honor
OF medicine And to this end l could quote
from Pagan and Christian writers, from
the wisest and best of all ages, words of
just recognition and deserved praise. But
time does not permit and l only beg you
to listen to the eloquent utterance of Car
dinal Newman. and see how appropriately
and necessarily medicine is embraced in
his large inclusion: "All that is good, all
that is true, all that is beautiful, all that
is beneficent, be it great or small, be II
perfect or fragmentary, natural as well as
supernatural, moral as well material
comes from God"

Notes.
Brigade team members of the vintages of
1880 and 1891 are especially interested in
the twenty-thrd New York (Brooklyn) reg

John n. Partridge has resigned his com
mand and why Maj. Hayward c. Brown,
the regimsntal inspector of rifle practice.

is possibility that Maj. Ezra DeForest,

ers of the District, may succeed to the
colonelcy.

GOOD WISHES EXPRESSED

The seventy-ffth anniversary of the Med

last evening, with appropriate exercises, at
the National Rifles Hail. and a banquet
later in the evening at the Arlington. Both
events were of u character in keeping with
the dignity OF the society. and the import
ance Of the event commemorated. The solid
Information given regarding the Medical
Society. and the practice OF medicine In the
District, was clearly compounded with wit,
poetry and music, in such proportions as to
make most agreeable mixture A large
audience assembled at the Rifles Hall to
attend the formal exercises held there
The principal feature Of the evening was a
number of interesting historical addresses

Changed since your professional progenitors
instituted this society. A town of l2UOO
has now population of quarter of a
million. l have read that not long anterior
to 1919 many Congressman had difficulty
in finding lodgings. and that the wife of
one of the Presidents used the audience
room of the White House for drying
clothes. One can imagine that now IT is
difficult for many lodgings to find Congress
men, and as to place for drying White
House washing. that If Mrs. Cleveland were
to do as Mrs. Adams did, there would be a
social. II not political CONFUSION. and a
very uncivil war.

A New Military Implement.

The Infantry and chasseur regiments of
the Austro- Hungarian army have just been
supplied with a new implement which can
be used as a spade. shovel, Ratchet and
saw. 1t is about foot and half in length,
weighs about two pounds, and is so arrang-
ed that 1t can be hung on the belt at the
left side near the bayonet. 1t will enable
the infantry to do all that is necessary in
laying out a camp, fixing cooking places,
providing a water supply and throwing up
light earthworks. Exercises in the use OF
this new weapon, which is intended to
render infantry regiments independent Of
their own pioneer companies, have also
