The earnings of large proportion OF
doctors In the United States are less
than that of organized labor, asserts
DR.. Charles j. Whelan in the Illinois
Medical Journal. Competent authorities
he says. place the average annual In
come of physicians at 800. In the
struggle for bread. the writer further
asserts, the physician is often com
PEELED to throw medical ethics to the
wind, for ethics and an empty stomach,
or an unpaid rent bill. do not go hand
in hand.
The writer does not indulge in Idle
speculation as to what the cause of the
low income of physicians is He has
nothing to say about the subject of too
many doctors-a subject which is de-
batable. Instead. he points out some
of the abuses from which physicians
suffer. And all of the abuses can be
summarized under the head of "spong-
ing" The physician is being sponged
upon not alone by the patient who is
careless about paying his doctor bills,
but also by the community. by the state.
The trend of civilization, DIR. Whelan
thinks, is in the direction of making
the healing of the sick a public duty
rather tnan family dIIa1r. fTne WORK
of the physician is more and more be-
coming a function of the state. 1t Is
here that the abuse of the doctor be-
gins 1t lies in the amount of charity
work physicians are doing. Doctors
thousands of them in Chicago alone
are giving from two to four hours a
day on two or three days of the week
to free clinics. hospitals and dispen-
saries. They not only cure the city's
poor sick. they educate the ignorant
masses OF the community in matters
pertaining to health. and thereby rem
der invaluable services in the field of
disease prevention. This medical altru-
ism saves thousands OF dollars to the
community and untold misery to the
poor, but 1t drives many doctors either
to desperation or else to quackery and
dishonesty.
A lawyer. says the writer. is never
required by the community TO defenu
It's poor gratuitiously. The same prin-
ciple should apply to physicians. Doc
| tors caring for the city's poor should
be paid by the municipality. he argues
the same as the charity organization
workers who care for the poor are paid
for their work.

Trade Unions and the Governments
One of the most interesting side is
sues of the war is the improved posi-
ton of trade unions. Not so very long
ago In England trade unions were an
Illegal conspiracy. Then they were
legalized, but frowned on Now the gov
eminent has selected them as the in
strument for dealing with any distress
caused by the war. The board of trade
has notified the unions that in all cases
where they can satisfy the board that
there is distress caused by the war,
the board Will make grants to the union
funds to be applied as out work
benefit. Fortunately, except In one or
two trades, this grant will not be re-
quired, for employment Is steadily i'm
proving. In the seven insured trades
of which accurate statistics are kept
the percentage of unemployment this
week was 446 as compared with 4.S0
a week ago and $40 month ago. The
condition of affairs in the uninsured
trades Is shown by the fact that the
government labor exchanges had 5000
fewer names on their registers this
week than last.

Caravaggio Picture Found.

An important find has been made in
the art collection of Marchese della
Stufa at France. It is a painting by
Caravaggio. which had been lost sight
Of for many years. The painting was
known to connoisseurs through print
in the Galleria degli Ufizzi
Sig di Pietro, the secretary of this
gallery, was determined to find the
picture. It was known that in the
year 1900 it was in possession of the
Cerretani family, which is now ex-
tinct.
Sig di Pietro, while examining Mar
chese della Stufa's collection saw the
painting and Immediately identified it.
The Ufizzi print is an exact reproduc-
ton of the picture, which is a typical
Caravaggio. 1t depicts six youths, one
of whom is playing violin. one lutte
and one a flute, while two are singing
and one is listening.-New York Sun.
