Washington, D. CA new apple
| box bill, differing somewhat from the
Lafean bill, which was killed off In
the last congress, has made its appear
ance in the house of representatives
| in somewhat new form and with a
different author. The new bill is pre-
scented by Representative Sulzer, OF
New York, and has been referred to
the committee on interstate commerce
instead of to the committee on agri-
culture.
While the bill is different in its
phraseology from the Lafean bin, it
is drafted to accomplish the same pur-
pose to handicap Western apples in
Eastern markets, where they are now
commanding top-notch prices and
erowding out Eastern-grown fruit OF
the same varieties.
1t is too early in the session to de-
termine what fate awaits the Sulzer
bill, but the purpose in referring it
to the interstate commerce committee
was to get favorable report, 1T hav-
ing been demonstrated that the COM
mittee on agriculture, after having
gone thoroughly into the subject, IL
not favorable to such legislation.
Whether the interstate commerce
committee will report the bill re mains
to be seen, for when the bill is called
up in committee an effort will be made
BY Western members to prevent
favorable report.

Bogota, Colombia = General Pedro
Mel Ospina, Colombian minister to the
United States, was recalled by the
Colombian government.
The action of the Colombian govern
ment was taken because neither it nor
the Colombian people uphold the posi-
ton taken by the Colombian minister
at Washington in notifying the State
department that the proposed visit to
Colombia of Secretary Knox would be
inopportune because Colombia's claims
in connection with Panama have not
been arbitrated.
The notification given by the Colon
Dlan government says that General
Ospina is separated from his post at
Washington, and that the incident be-
tween Colombia and the United States
is thus closed

The only hospitals In antiquity were
Tor slaves and soldiers. The rise OF
hospitals Is wrapped In mystery, but
beyond a doubt they are the product OF
Christian teaching. II is pretty GER
tain that hospitals arosa out OF the
early homes for travellers and the
poor. Tho institution Is clearly OF
eastern origin. About 270 A. ID.
Basiiios founded the famous hospital
Cassarea. st Augustine speaks of
hospitals as being quite new In his
day. In 4sS-5l4 Pope Symmachus
built three In Rome. In the sixth
century there was a very large one In
Lyons. In fact. about this time they
appear all over the pale of Christen.
