DR.. Mayo delivered lecture during
the Clinical Congress. In speaking OF
the work of the congress he declared
that it was Of great Importance to
American doctors because of the spe-
cial facilities afforded by London hos

stands so high in surgery. America.
he said, had no particular school or
surgery as has England, but proiited
by the work of all schools. Referring
to hospitals, DR.. Mayo said:
"In England, as in other European
countries, there is national support
for hospitals, for it is understood
there that disabled person is loss

no national support for hospitals.
America has not realized fully as yet
the economic benefits Of properly car,

not be long before America will do So"
Discussing radium, DR.. Mayo as
serted that better idea Is being
gained about it. but this is not harm

upon it will attract attention and in

ALBI0N'S FOES IN
MOTION PICTURES
Englishmen to Learn Les
sons of Patriotism
Through Reels.
From The Tribune correspondentl

From The Tribune Correspondentl
London. July 25.-The Englishman is
again to see an attempted invasion OF
his land and home by foreign f@'
This time it is to be through the me-
dunn of motion pictures. 1t was only
few years ago that John Bull was
e.irred TO the highest pitch by the
thoughts Of such an invasion when ne
viewed it's possibilities in the drama
"An Embellishments Home" The mem
ory Of the play is by no means dimmed'
The motion spectacle, entitled Eng
lands Menace" will probably revive
some of those fears. II is a three-reel
subject officially supported by the Navy
League. 1t consists of many stirring
incidents. including reproductions OF
manuuyring fleets.
The motion picture problem IN Grest
Britain has been a matter OF much
discussion lately. Free picture shows
at museums was one of the sugges-
tions discussed by the Museum Asso-
citation Conference at Swansea. One
speaker thought that every museum
should have cinematograph, so tnat
children from the schools IN the DIS
trct might attend it for educational
demonstrations. Care would be taken
that the films shown should be of an
educational character and thoroughly
sound. In this connection it is worthy
of note that the Croydon Museum is
storing up films dealing with matters
of local interest and moment. 1t is a
novel thing to teach fremen how to
perform their duties by the aid Of
pictures. but such is the object back
of one film which has recently been
produced here.
Lord Londesborough, the president,
and Mr.. Slater, the secretary, of the
Fire Brigades Union, together with
other officials, recently viewed this
film and Endorsed it highly. 1t is
known as the Fire Fighters Of Eng
land" and it is expected that it will
be useful in bringing home TO those
firemen who may see it the degree o.
perfection attainable by the Jealous
fire fighter who realizes how vital in
telligence. smartness and discipline are
in coping with fire.
Censorship Of films was discussed at
the Canterbury diocesan conference at
Lambeth recently. The Rev. Henry
Eden Olivier, Of st. James's, Croydon,
said that the present motion picture
censorship has failed i'll three ways.
The first was with regard to pictures
whose whole point was their morbid
horror. The second was with regard
to religious subjects, and the third had
to do with indecency in the relation
ship OF the sexes. The tendency on
the billboards, said Mr. Olivier, was 20
put what were called nerve thrillers"
in the most conspicuous places. In. re-
gard to the. religious films, he had seen
an imaginary representation of Dante's
Inferno" and this was advertised by
posters which read: Don't miss this
opportunity of seeing Satan and the
Saviour, 1000 feet in length"

SLUM BABIES GAIN
DISEASE IMMUNITY
Thrive on Conditions and Diet
That Would Kill the Ordi-
nary Child.

London, July 25.-Gutter babies are
immune to ordinary diseases and
thrive under conditions that would be
death. 10 other children, said Or.
Thomas, health officer of the Finsbury
district. in his annual report, just pub
lished. DR.. Thomas works in the most
congested of the London borou5hs,
where 5000 families live and sleep IN
5000 rooms.
"Some of these babies" he says, DIS
soon as even before they are able TO
crawl, are placed on the sidewalks
early in the day, to be watched or
nursed by girl of four or five years.
They are true gutter children. Some
times the immature nurse falls asleep,
wearied By her task, and the BABY
crawls to the other side of the ron l.,
Needless of traffic. Both arc hlthy
anl gutter-stained. But they seem 20
live In fact. the stock from which
thew have sprung rises superior to tie
ordinary diseases of childhood" Among
the cases reported are these:
A baby four months old was given
a niece O. raw fat and bacon to chew,
because the grandmother said bacon
was good for babies and cansries.
One baby was dosed with stout ana
aniseed by the mother as cure Tor
collie.
Another baby Of nine weeks was
fed chiefly on weak tea.
DR.. Thomas complains of the "Sairey
Camps" who act as nurses and mid
wives in the district, undoing the WORK
of the doctors in many cases. lie says
their arrogance is equalled only by
their ignorance.

REPUBLIC
A CENTURY OLD
Maresnet, on Border of Belgium,
Has Vast Territory of
1,400 Acres.
From The Tribune Correspondent

From The Tribune correspondent
Brussels, July 23.-It may be worth
while recording that the Republic Of
Maresnet, also called Kelmis and Alien
berg, celebrates this summer the CEN
tenary of it's independence. This small
neutral state lying on the borders of
Belgium and Prussia, between Verviers
and Aix-la- Chapelle, has an area of
nearly / 400 acres and a population of
$500, and it is under the protection Of
the two states between which it is
wedged.
The community formerly belonged to
Austria, but was later annexed By
France, which developed disputes be-
tween Napoleon | and the Prussian
government as to which state it really
belonged. At the Congress of Vienna
in 1915 the little district was simply
forgotten and so it happens to be to-
day an independent republic. Prussia
and Belgium could for long time
reach no agreement about its posses
sion, for they grudged each other the
rather rich cadmium mine which then
existed in that region. To-day, how
ever, this mine is extinct, and the peace
and tranquility of the Republic o.
Maresnet is no longer disturbed by the
bordering states. The natives speak
both French and German, and are
Catholics.
The republic has an administration
of it's own, composed of burgomaster
and a council of ten members. The
burgomaster is both Prussian and
Belgian subject, and the inhabitants
decide individually whether they will
perform military service for Prussia or
for Belgium, also whether they will
accept the jurisdiction of Belgian or
Prussian courts. In criminal cases the
Code Napoleon governs.

ENGLISH PROPOSE
MINISTRY OF ART
Widespread InterestTaken
by Prominent Men in
New Project.
[From The Tribune correspondent.l

LFrom The Tribune Correspondent
London, July Widespread inter-
est in a proposed ministry of art has
followed in the wake of the formation
of a Parliamentary Fine Arts Commit
tee, and men of all parties in both
houses have given the movement their
support. Among those who have &C
cepted the invitation to join the COM
mittee are Viscount Bryce, Lord Cur
zon Of Kedleston, the Earl of Craw-
ford and Balcarres, Sir George Agnew,
Lord Henry Bentinck. A. A. Allen. Sir
Edward T. Coates, Stephen Gwynn, SIR
Alfred Mond, Almeric PaPet, Sir Gill
bert Parker, Sir Herbert Raphael, Phil
in Snowden, Edward Wood and c. A.
Montague Barlow.
Among the chief functions of such a
ministry would be to advise on all
aesthetic matters of public interest and
legislation affecting the same, the CO.
ordination and management of the ma
tional galleries and museums through
out the kingdom and the stimulation
and encouragement of modern national
art.
Increasing the national collections
and securing for the galleries and
museums greater opportunities Of pur-
chasing pictures and other works Of
art are questions which will be. promi-
nently before the committee. AT the
present time the National Gallery has
only $4,000 year for the purchase of
pictures, and in this connection it is
expected there will be taken up pro-
posal for a much larger sum.
Matters relating to art are constant
IL coming to the attention of the gov
eminent departments, and these would
properly be the subject Of attention
of the committee. The administration
of tie South Kensington Museum and
School of Art, which are under the
Board of Education, has recently been
the subject Of inquiry of depart
mental committee, whereas with a
Parliamentary arts committee the lat
ter body would take care of such
problems.
Questions Of great public interest,
such as the decoration of parks and the
erection Of public buildings or monu-
n,ents, would likewise be passed on
bv this body. At the present time
such problems come before numerous
departments, such as the Office Of
Works and the London County Codn-
ell. The proper care of such ediiices,
too. would then be easily managed.
The proposed committee would con-
sist of a Minister of Art having seat
in the House, who would be an ao-
pointive officer, and eighteen paid
members as a standing committee, with
the permanent secretary of ministry as
chairman. The committee would en-
brace architects, painters, sculptors,
designers, an antiquary, and represent
atives of music, literature and the
drama, together with representatives
of the. Office of Works. the Local Gov
eminent Board, the Board of Educa-
ton. the Board of Trade exhibitions

From The TrIbune Correspondent.l

London, July 25.--Fear Of what is
known az "the middle-aged spread" is
responsible nowadays for much corset
wearing by both sexes, according TO
statement made by pr. Jane Walker,
