NEW ROAD LAW
FOR THIS COUNTY

Commissioners.

The plan inaugurated by the grand
jury yesterday looking to reform
of the system at present obtaining in
Glynn county. with reference to the
government of the public roads of
the county is o good one For years
Glynn county has been adhering to
the old and antiquated system of hav-
Ing separate road commissioners in
every lualitia district in the county,
with no official at the actual head of
this very important department. %
public works
BY resolution adopted yesterday
the grand jury goes ON record as fav-
orng the adoption of the alternative
road system sov the county. wa.ch
does away with these commissioners
in every district and centralizes the
system by bringing 1t directly under
the control of the county commission
ers. The plan also provides Ior the
appointment of a county sun
dent of public roads, wha
charged with the manage4
of the roads of the countyS
report to and be under tne contr3r

Many other important improvementsI
are included in the plan and it is TOT
be hoped that the recommendation of
the grand jury will have the proper
effect Of securing this r1ueh needed
reform.

NEDICAL CORPORATIONS.

Whatever legal ntricaces the attorneys for
the defence may discover, the few main facts
upon which the Public Health Defence League
and the New York Medical Society rely in
their attack upon a widely advertised beauty
doctor certainly make the compiainants
case very strong, in the mind Of the unso-
phisticated Iayman The defendant is pres-
dent of corporation which, in addition TO
concocting various supposedly beautifying
salves and powders. undertakes to remedy all
skin and face deformites, according to its
own advertisement. The president himself ad
mitted to Magistrate Harris when arraigned
that he was not q physician; the corporation
however employs several licensed doctors to
handle operations. 1t is this real apparent
delegation of the right to practise medicine 10
a corporation to which the eomplainants object
They believe that the moral soundness Of their
principle maintaining the private and personal
nature OF the privileges accompanying certif-
cate of the state medical examiners will win
the courts recognition. For it has already been
decided that attorney in taking his oath of
office becomes a part Of the state machinery
and has only personal license TO practise law
This ruling, il is asserted, must also hold for
physicians
The auasi-personal character and rights Of
corporations make the establishment Of medi-
cal firms undesirable. The legal distinction be-
tween corporation and its officers and MEM
bers robs the patient seeking aid from medi-
cal firm of the protection the law properly
gives him. For one thing communications be-
tween patient and physician cannot possibly be
kept confidential, required by statute, if
the medical adviser happen to be legally a
corporation. Serious complications. too, might
arise TO hinder the patients recovery of dam
ages for malpractice if the guilty physician
happened TO be acting merely as agent for the
principal corporation. There is also the re-
moter danger that the medical profession might
eventually be seriously injured by commercial
izaton brought on by medical trusts employing
only skilled specialists and undertaking pri-
yate practitioners While Il would be absurd
to 1nunt this as a bogie such outcome
pictures the direction events might take if
medical societies were not as alert as they are.

League interests lawyers well physicians.

R4US4YS THEORIES REVIEWED.

Only a few days before Sir William Ramsay
described bis most recent work to the brl,ish
Association for the Advancement or science,
some of the London papers reported a discus
sion of his earlier experiments by body OK
German chemists The latter organization hau
been in session in Hamburg, and devoted one
dav of its meeting to the phenomena of radio
activity The president of the society happens
to be Dr. Nernst, the inventor of lamp In
which a pencil of magnesia is rendered ~incan-
descent 10y electricity. He and several other
members were inclined to believe as do Sir
William and Professor Soddy, that the helium
evolved from radum results from q genuine
transformation, and is not merely liberated lt
did not appear, however, that their faith was
based upon any duplication of The tests OF the
British investigators, while dissent was ex-
pressed by two men who had gone into the mat
ter more thoroughly.
These disciples of Bunsen. Meyer and Him.
stedt by name had found the evidence of the
presence OF certain gases in receptacle to be
singularly variable. Sometimes helum could
not be detected and sometimes il could Ihey

of palladium n metal of the platinum group,
would so completely absorb that element that
il could not be persuaded by the most intense
heat to reveal itself. \ week later the hy-
drOgen would be Enthusiastically manifest. In
one case the spectroscope would fail utterly 10
show the gas, and In the other it would do SO
convincingly. Here. then, was an apparent con
firmation of Lord Keivin's view that the helium
obtained from radium had been there all the
time, though it could not be found.
To fancy that the experiments OF Herren
Meyer and Himstedt completely upset Sir Will
lam Ramsay's transmutation theories would OF
course be premature if not absurd: At most
they are applicable 10 only part OF his work,
and before they can be regarded as conclusive it
is desirable that still other chemists make the
same tests Sir Williams doctrines can be con-
firmcd or disproved only by Independent re-
search. and il is gratifying To know that such
investigation has been undertaken In Germany,

of this circumstance the two ships were I'm

Not until the Connecticut had her speed

tant qualifications of vessel As deter
mined by continuous runs for four hours there
is apparently difference OF four-hundredtns OF
a knot in favor of the Louisiana. so micro
scopc IS this fraction that it establishes the
nominal equality of the two ships, but since q
handicap of $50 tons was imposed on the Con-
necticut, weighing her several inches deeper
into the water than the Louisiana, there 1s good
reason to believe that she is really the faster.
Her coal is also said to have been damp and
not specially selected. while her rivals trial was
made with carefully hand picked fuel. Other
eyceIences of the product of the Brooklyn yard
have led competent judges TO pronounce her the
finest shin in the American navy. Both the
government and the builders of the Connecti-
cut are to be congratulated their ability TO
achieve such triumph.
