Hence, careful measurements were made

The proper way to throw was quickly

In other words more than 5OO,OOO people
have been added to the population of out
er London in seven years. and the process
Is still going on. All these people are
truly Londoners in their habits, in their
sympathies and in their interests, yet
they are being governed by authorities
designed for the administration of the
area In which they lived when it was oc-
cupied by farms and villages.
X \
No wonder that parliament feels jealous
Of the growing power of the London
county council. If the new bill goes
through it will govern sixth of the
whole population of England and its
revenue will be nearly half that collected
now for national purposes. At present
it has control of the education of nearly
zoe, 600 children and If it takes over the
schools controlled by the authorities in the
surrounding boroughs it will be respon-
sible for million youngsters. 1t spends
nearly $5O.OOO.OO0 a year and it has a
gross debt of about 500, 100000.
1t has 10000 people on its payrolls, but
II it took in the additional area demanded
by the bill now before parliament it Will
have an army of at least 3OO.OOO men in
extending Its area, but giving 1t great
er control over the subordinate authorities
within its own area. 1t owns lit miles
Of street car lines and last year it car
ried 100000 600 passengers. Most of the
local authorities affected by the new bill
also own street car lines, and these. of
course, would come under the control OF
the London county council and be made
uniform with its system.

Dollars and Doctors.

DR.. w. F. Mercer of the Ohio State
University impressed the world with his
recent declaration that dollars made doc
tors cut-that there were too many sur
geons who, for the sake of large fees.
operated when operations might be per-
haps avoided
DIR Mercer" said a Columbus physi-
clan, has done much good with this pro-
nouncement of his. He has made many
a surgeon more sparing Of the knife.
II remember. just after he had spoken.
the varsity students cheered him with
our sonorous college cheer-'Wahoo, wa
hoo. rip. zip. bazoo! l yell, l yell. for O.
s. U.-Mercer!"
Then, apropos of his dictum that dol
lars made doctors cut, DIR. Mercer told the
students how young surgeon had once
shown him over an eastern hospital, ana
in the end had said:
Which do you consider the most dan
gerous of our cases here DR.. Mercer?
That SIR was the reply.
And DR.. Mercer pointed Significantly
toward a case of glttering surgical In
struments."
