WOMAN PHYSICIANS

The status of woman physician
was discussed at the final session of
the International Congress of Medi-
cine, held in London, and attention
called to the superior opportunities
for women in the medical profession
of America. One fact. however. has
London and Berlin, that with the in
crease of these opportunities in the
past 20 years the number of women
attracted to the profession remains
relatively the same. says the New York
Times. There are no statistical data
which show the actual number of wo-
man practitioners in the United
States; conclusions must be drawn
from the census of the medical schools
and the proportion of students, great
er in the case of women than of men,
who fall by the wayside after gradu-
alton, discounted from the number.
These figures show. If anything.
slight decrease within the past 10
years in the number of women study
ing medicine, a fact which is hardly
to be reconciled with the opportuni-
ties afforded them for study at any of
the medical institutions of the coun-
try on an equal footing with men stu
dents, and with such influences as the
Increased attention to children's dis
eases. On the other hand taking~up
at random a report of the recent pro-
ceedings of the Royal Society of Lon
don, we note a woman physicians
name prominent in the table of con-
tents. Rejecting likewise at random,
we can think of no woman physician
in this country as noteworthy, for in
stance, as DR.. Maria Montessori, bet
ter known with us as an educator,
but first recognized in her own coun-
try as an able psychiatrist.

Dogs and Duplicity

Man has come to recognize the dog
as the most faithful of his four-footed
friends. The dog doesn't analyze his
masters character. The man he
serves may be the most degraded of
his kind, unworthy, unfaithful, un-
grateful, but the dog gives him his
fealty without question, without hest
fancy. 1t is a mean man who turns a
dogs virtues into dishonorable chan
nels. And that's just what Neither
lander is said to have been doing
This unworthy person has been plac-
ed under arrest charged with long
series of robberies in the port of Will
helmshaven. incidentally, he is I'M
derstood to be seller of naval Sc
crets, but this would appear to be
merely side avocation. His main
activity, according to the charges, was
robbing Wilhelmshaven shops, and in
the nefarious business he involved a
number of innocent dogs. These ami
mails he carefully trained for watch
dogs, selling them to the burghers for
that purpose, and then robbing the
shops that his own dog friends guard
ed. 1t was simple as well as dast-
ardly system. The dogs knew and no
doubt loved him. and when he appear
ed as burglar they greeted him with
affectionate demonstrations instead of
nipping him by the leg and raising
a boisterous alarm. The man knew
the loving nature of the dog and took
advantage of it.

A party of American physicians,
spending a few days in Paris prior to
attending the International congress
of medicine in London, decided, after
there are things worth while in hos
pital equipment which France could
learn from the United States. The
French windows are defective in that
they are not arranged to provide for
ventilation without creating drafts,
and the absence of screening and net
ting in the hospitals naturally is con-
sidered a dangerous omission.

FORMER SOMERSET Co.
MAN NOW IN RENO :
J. p. Bean is Now Physician In Reno,
Nevada. Tells us Something Of
This Noted Place

In response to our request another
us something of his life and speaks
Interestingly of his present home CITY,
Reno, Nevada. This time DR.. j. P.
Bean is our informant and he writes
as follows:
/ was born in North New Portland,
Maine, June 10Th, 1857. When l was
two years Of age my parents moved
to East Madison; two years later to
Scion and three years later to Cara,
funk. At the age of 81 l left home
for the California mining districts af
forwards going to San Francisco
where l remained till nine years ago
when l came here. This is certain
y one of the most beautiful places in
the west. While it has had some
unenviabe notoriety. owing to the fact
that this state was the last in the
United States to do away with open
gambling and has been the mecca for
some years of those seeking quick
and easy divorce, it has at last
thrown off all these obstacles to real
progress and will on January !, 1914
begin life anew free from those things
which have kept many eastern people
from coming here and enjoying our
beautiful climate and helping to devel-
op some of our many undeveloped re-
sources Here we have state al
most as large as California, with less
than 100,0 900 population with resources
sufficient to easily support five or six
millions. CALIFORNIA; wonderful re-
sources have overshadowed those of
Nevada and we have consequently
been overlooked by those seeking OPP
portunities in the Far West Had the
healthfulness of the climate of Nevada
been as widely advertised as have the
prize fights, gambling institutions and
divorce colony. we would have had
twice the population that we now have
for the healthfulness of the Nevada
climate is equal to that of any state
in the union. tuberculosis that
scourge of the human race almost
never develops here and in those who
come here in the early stages of the
disease it is usually arrested and Of
ten entirely cured
| am so well pleased with the state
and its prospects that l have no wish
to go elsewhere"
J. p. BEAN. M. D.
Before studying medicine DR.. Bean
informs us that for seven years he
was associated with his brother, w.
C. Bean, now a practicing physician
in San Francisco, in conducting n
school of boxing wrestling and gener-
Ialgymnastics in that city. He was
also for some years previous to that
engaged in mining and numbering.
The doctor writes that there are many
people in that place from Maine and
for the most part they seem to be do
ing well. Beside the brother pre-
viously mentioned DR.. Bean has a
brother j. L. Bean who is a carpenter
in Bingham, Me, another brother E.
d. Bean who has a tent and awning
factory a tSanta Rosa, Cal, while his
father lives in Scion. There is sis
ter Mrs Bulweare who is living at
Belmont, Cal. while half sister, Mrs
Grant lives in Scion, Me, as do two
holt brothers.

Oklahoman. and OF j. Burr Gibbons, of
