YOUNG
 SAYS DOCTORS
 MUST REPORT

Little Rock, Sept. 26-Secreary F. E. Young, State Board of Health, is writing the physicians of the state that the penalty is to be enforced against those who fail to make re- ports to the registrars of vital statis- tics, as required by law The pen alty is a fine of not less than 8 nor more than s100, or Imprisonment not exceeding sixty days, or both. There has been great deal of negligence among the physicians, and in conse- quence the reports of the Vital Sta tisties Bureau lack great deal of being complete or accurate.
 Secretary Young's letter follows: Dear Doctor
 "I am informed that you have fail ed to comply with the Rules and Reg ulations of the State Board of Health in reporting various contagious dis eases and filing your vital statistics as required by Act No, 96 Legisla- ture of 1913. It is our desire to avoid bringing charges against the physi- clans who fail to comply with these requirements Such being our atti- tude, l am writing you this personal letter calling this matter to your at tenfion. Act No. 96 prescribes a de- finite penalty for those who violate it requirements, but I trust it will not be necessary to resort to this means to get you to comply with 1t. It IS our intention to carry on campaign as possible, but if it becomes neces- sary we will invoke the full penalty of the law.
 "A number of Supreme Courts have held that one who violates the re- quirements of vital statistics, codes or who fails to file his vital statistics. is guilty of gross negligence and mal practice, and that a civil action for damages would stand against such a negligent physician. 1 am sure that you would wish to avoid such ac- tion, but your present course lays you open to it. If You would avoid such troubles in the future it would be we'll for you to comply with the requirements Of the law and tho Rules and Regulations.
 tI wish you would carefully conside this matter and if you have any com ments to make upon it, l would be glad to have you write me fully. l assure you that it is the intetion of this office to act with fairness in ey- cry way to the praetieing physicians of this State, but they must remem- Der that they owe very definite duty to their clientele and that the courts and the people recognize this duty and are beginning to insist up- on it. These reports would require but a few minutes time each month and practically no expense. I trust that in the future We may have full and complete reports from you each month without the necessity of ask ing you for them.

WHEAT STRONGER AS

Heavy Demand From Mil

Prices Are Better-Gen-

CHICAGO. Sept l6-There was re-

Prices at Liverpool were stronger.
While supplies there are ample, the ac-

places the condition of wheat there at S1.O4
The French crop, which has all been
gathered, has turned out better than had
been expected, with the quality as a
whole fair. The weather in France is
now seasonable. Reports from German
official circles show that the outturn OF
wheat in that country was below eNpec-
tatious. Reports from Russia are con

WAR OPENS GREAT
POSSIBILITIES FOR
FIRE INSURANCE
American Companies Look
for Big Business Because of
Stringency Abroad Gov
eminent Places $3,225,000
War Risk Policies.

The insurance business has been ad-
probably not TO such an extent as other
lines. Insurance men say that although
they notice some falling off, particularly
in fire insurance, 1t has not been on any
large scale. Then, too, they declare, the
war has opened UP greater possibilities
for the American insurance man, because
customers have evidenced a disposition to
discriminate against foreign companies,
particularly those of France and Ger
many, on the ground that their policies
with them would not be as safe as with
an American company, for the reason
that all OF the money the foreign compan-
les have is needed now at home.
Insurance men explain that this should
not be the case, as, under the laws, for
eign companies doing business in this
country are compelled to keep a certain
surplus in the United States to meet their
obligations here, and that anyone wish
Ing to patroniae foreign company should
not hesitate in doing so for this reason.
But then, all in all, there seems to be a
disposition to favor American companies
when any business is to be done
The falling off in the fire insurance
business 1t is pointed out. is due primar-
lily to the fact that the war has cut down
exports and imports to a minimum, and
consequently there is no need for large
insurance of warehouses where goods are
kept pending shipment. This falling off
has been In part compensated by war risk
insurance. which has thus far balanced
the scales, but for how long insurance
men will not offer a prediction,
The marine business on coastwise ship
ping and to ports in South America is
running along about the same. as is the
business to England, although n slight
falling off in the latter has been noted
The insurance business in Europe" said
an insurance man today who returned re-
Gently, "is at a standstill because OF the
war"
Taking this into consideration then,
there are great possibilities for the
American insurance man, both at home
and abroad.
From Washington came the announce
ment today that the Treasurer of War
Risk Insurance has already issued war
insurance on eleven vessels. eight of
which ply between this country and South

LOCAL CONTRACTORS
EXTEND OPERATIONS
TO DISTANT STATES
In Last Ten Years Philadel-
phia Builders Have Be-
come Strong Competitors in
Open Market

Never before in the history OF building
has the Philadelphia contractor been
such a strong competitor in the open
market Ten years ago it was almost like
performing a miracle to obtain work OF
any size more than a few miles out OF
town, and Philadelphia contra ctors re-
garded II as a, waste of time and money
to submit bids on distant work Today
the Philadelphia firms will not only esti-
mate on work anywhere in the United
States, but have succeeded in running
many t-of-town contracts. Not only oc-
casionally but almost any day in the
week on the estimating boards in the
larger offices will be found many large
out-cf-town jobs. This change of af-
fairs is principally due to the following
reasons:
First. The local contractor, like the
Philadelphia lawyer, has gained u far
reaching reputation for skill and etfi
cheney
Second. The completeness of the organ
ization of most of our large contracting
firms enables them to carry on the con-
struction of a building 1900 miles from
Philadelphia with the same celerity and
eNactness as though it was a stone throw
from their office door
As an illustration of the magnitude of
this out-of-town business, 1t was learned
after visit to only three of the leading
contractors, Cramp &; Co., Irwin " Leigh
ton, and ]. i. e A. L. Pennock, that
their combined work for the year amount
ed to more than $lO0OO,0O0. and was being
constructed in such distant places as
