Medical Students in Germany.
From tho i .oncar

One Of the consequences Of the intro
duction Of national insurance in Ger
many has been the growing number of
students of medicine, and the sick
clubs do their utmost to promote the
recruiting to the ranks of the medical
profession, as by this means they hope
to be able to keep the rates Of remun-
Grafton as low as possible by fostering
competition in the struggle for life
among the doctors. These steadily
growing numbers are now becoming a
serious menace to the future Of the
profession, and the situation is viewed
with much apprehension. During the
past winter semester there were in all
1880 students of medicine inscribed
on the rolls of the German universe
ties. against only 1926 in the years
1904 and 1905. The number Of prac-
t%itioners obtaining their qualification
at present increases at the rate of $50
yearly, sc that from q total Of 1850
obtaining their qualification in 1913
and 1914, his number will increase to
$500 in 1919 and 1920. At present there
are 3,527 qualified medical practition-
ers in Germany, and assuming that the
annual loss to the profession through
death or retirement averages $50 in
the years 1919 and 1920, there will be
no less than 44,227 doctors endeavor-
ing to find~a livelihood out of their
professional work. 1t is pointed out
that such a state Of affairs must lead
to an economic catastrophe, as at least
one-third of these practitioners Will
be unable to make a living.

Sand in the Law,

advertised 100000 yards of road bal
lasting gravel for sale, but owing to his
extreme age he wants the purchaser to
do the loading.
Mr.. Sheffield and owners of other gravel
a copy of the new law as to gravel pits
enacted by the last legislature which
makes it mandatory that boards of super
yisors h purchase gravel pits so that
no portion of the county road system shall
be more han six miles distant from a pit
and which provides removal from office
as the penalty for a board which neglects
to purchase these pits where available.
The new statute reads:
1t is going to take some time for the
public and it's officials to understand all
that was done by the last legislature to-
ward permanent road building in Iowa.
Under this law bridges will be sized ac-
spanned instead of being left to the desire
of the contractors who like to build them.
Roads will be put to established grades
as railroads are. 1t is contemplated that
when TIE road grades are built and per-

law but it will require more than sand
to build as good n road in 1owa as most
other states are building.

Frequent Applause.
AS the president read his message

Another round of applause greeted
the statement as to railroad control
