FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the AmerI.
can Medical Association.

The Political activity OF the Amert.
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as TO cause comment
In political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose OF the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school. OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale OF so-called Patent" medicines.
but will restrict the practice of medi-
clue and healing TO the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice OF Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers OF the
4 Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
In which the faith OF so many intelIi-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some $1,000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session Of
the American Medical Association
held In June Of this year expressed a
hope that a larger number OF physi-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In its annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands OF the move
ment, however, particularly IL the
work Of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, a larger
clerical force must be eAplOyed"
This is almost the first time in the
history OF the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose Of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their /
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $1,000 members Of whom
$1,000 are fully constituted men,
oers and the rest are members be-
cause Of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL
1871 and its total assets are $751;
o61-S9. It's liabilities. at the time of
the annual report which was made at
The June meeting. amounted to only
S2l 900. The excess OF assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate of
about $4,000 year. and the purpose
of the organization is TO dominate
he field Of medicine. and by crushing
III competitions by securing the pas
age Of prohibitive legislation, compel
III of the people Of the United States
o pay a doctors fee every time the
lGst simple remedy Is needed.

Famous Life Reader.
WRITER AND PIANIST IN
A NEWSPAPER COMBAT
,eoia1 Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
VIENNA, May 1S-An interesting
political controversy is at present go
ing on in the Vienna press between the
famous Norwegian writer, BJornsterne
Bjornson, and the not less lalilou0
pianist, M. PadereWskl. :.
The former published an article III
the Vienna Zeit and the Paris Courier
E,Iropeen, charging the Poles with be-
ing inimical to poetical genius, and
depicting them as nation possessed py
satan. whose brilliant talents have al
ways been paralyzed by license and
who are now revealing their satanic
nature by depressing the Ruthenians or
Austria and Russia and by even CO.
ouetting with the Russian bureaucracy
To this rigmarole M. Paderewsk1 re-
niles in an open letter to the Aelt,
which reveals in the author remark
able gift for political Journalism. He
points out that the Poles did not pre-
sumo to pass judgment on the contro-
versy between Sweden and Norway
and M. Bjornson would have done well
If he had followed the same policy with
regard to the domestic strl1e between
the Poles and the Ruthenlans. me
Poles. he says, have always been toll
Grant towards other nationalties and
they have no wish to stand in the way
of the Ruthenians. What they desire
is merely to safeguard their ancient and
rich heritage of culture which they pos
sess in eastern Galacia, Lithuania and
white Russia. NJ. Paderewski concludes
by saving that his opponent does not
serve truth by circulating erroneous in
formation-let him visit those countries
and judge for himself.

TURKISH STAGE DOESN'T
PERMIT MURDER SCENES

Special Cable to The Herald.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 1S.-Had
it not been for the intervention of the
Italian embassy, the performance of
Verdps Aida would have been forbid
den in the Turkish capital a few days
ago.
The vagaries of the Turkish dramatic
censor, while they afford some diver
sion to the general public, are the
distress and dread of impresarios and
and stage managers in Constantinople.
His red pencil ruthlessly cuts and
mutilates the choicest masterpieces of
European drama, no reason being
given or argument admitted
The general rules which guide his
judgment are, of course, more or less
apparent, Anything that is calculated
to bring contempt upon royalty, to
suggest seditious ideas or prejudice
public morals is strictly tabooed; but
it is not always possible to assign such
simple and satisfactory motives for
his rulings. For instance, the reason
for the prohibition of Hamlet is
sufficiently obvious, and the obliter-
alton of certain passages from Othello
is comprehensive, but why he should
object to the name Othello is not so
easy to account for. The play is al
ways given uIiuCl lllC II
Geloso or lie Jaloux. Possibly Othello,
being a Moor, and therefore in all
probability a Mussulman, his name is
considered offensive to pious Moslems.
All allusions to royalty are strictly
prohibited. Emperors are transformed
into grand dukes and kings into dukes.
A story is told of one jealous censor
who changed all the res" in the tonic
sofia score of an opera into "ducas,"
being under the impression that they
meant kings. Although Donizetti's La
Favorita may not be given under this
title, such things as court favorites be-
ing unknown, or at least not officially
recognized, in Turkey, the censor's
scruples are allayed if the play is called
Eleonora and the royalties are con-
verted into highnesses.
On one point the censor is infexible-
there shall be no murder committed on
the stage. This is to prevent corruption
by evil example. Consequently the
dramatic effect of many plays is some-
what marred by the manner in which
principals destined to be murdered are
rushed off the stage, and after receiv-
ing the fatal thrust out of sight of the
audience stagger back from the wings
to sing their death songs. The music
loving world, however, makes allow
ances for these difficulties with which
the artists have to contend.

PRIESTS IN UNIONS
TO EARN A LIVING

PARIS, May 1S.-The separation act,
which deprived the French Catholic
clergy of official position and stipends,
has led many to adopt curious forms
of cooperation with a view to earning
their living in Paris. The priests have
formed a syndicate the chief object of
which is to procure coal and provisions
at wholesale prices. There is also a
federation of clerics who do manual
labor.
Many priests who are capable gard
eners and carpenters find employment
from Catholics through this federation.
Its members undertake to copy the
celebrated socialist division of the day
by giving eight hours to manual work,
eight to clerical anG eight to rest.
In the department of the Cher priests
have formed beekeepers' association
and make as q yearly income from the
sale of honey about $3.50, almost their
former stipends.

MAKE SELECTION
FROM 1925 LOTS
QUARTER ACRE HOME SITES AT
TOWN OF BURLEIGH
Largest Single Subdivision on Record.
Location Is on the Redondo Car
Line, on the lngIewood
Division

Full page announcement calls atten-
tion to one of the latest suburban sub
divisions placed on the market-the
town of Burleigh. This is without
doubt the largest single subdivision
proposition that has been placed before
the homeseeking and investing public
at one time, comprising in all 1926 quar-
ter-acre lots.
The location of this townsite is on
the Los Angeles-Redondo railroad Qn-
glewood division) double track system,
about half way between Los Angeles
and Redondo, with rapid and eff
cient car service having a mile of
frontage on the car line, the most dis
tant lots being three blocks away.
This large level mesa of ground, with
fine natural drainage and magnificent
view, offers possibilities unparalleled
in subdivision work.
The Los Angeles company, with Of
fees in the Pacific Electric building,
is handling this property for the King
Land and Improvement company syn
dicate and is offering to the homeseek-
ing and investing public a proposition
never before heard of in the history of
Southern California subdivisions.
Contracts Are Attractive
The improvements are to be of the
highest possible quallty, comprising
large, wide streets, oiled and graded,
four-foot cement sidewalks and curbs,
filtered water for domestic purposes,
gas and electricity, shade trees on the
lots and on the parking between the
curb and sidewalks a fully equipped
fire department, all paid for by the com
pany and covered by a written guar
antee in each and every land contract
for the future fulfllment of these prom
ises.
Sufficient appropriations, it is stated,
have been made to cover all these ex-
penses and stand back of the PROPOSE
tion with written guarantee to make
good everything they offer The desire
shown by the company has been to
give the bomeseeking and investing
public everything that is possible. not
with desire of making as much as
possible out of the land, but to be sat-
isfied with small margin of profit and
q large list of satisfied clients.
The great desire shown by homeseek-
ers and investors has been for the
large lot and Burleigh is the only one
of the many subdivisions that offers
as much for the money.
Besides the improvements enumerat-
ed above are many special Inducements
that are worthy of the consideration
of the investor, such as free car fare
for one year to home builders, free cot
tages, out of work, sickness and death
clauses that absolutely protect under
all conditions.
