Research held at Habnemann college.
Discussing his cure for pulmonary
tuberculosis, DR.. Gibson explained
that in the treatment of 1000 cases,

"Of course" said DIT Gibson. mo
time must be lost by the physician in
making a diagnosis. The %-ray when

scientifically and that necessitates the

utes produces more chemic light than

George NJ. NJ. Dickson, general man
agcr OF the National Motor Vehicle
company, has been given the title, ma
tiuual Board of Censorship by l.. S.
French, advertising manager Dick
son has a keen sense of humor and
fully appreciates the joke, But French
insists that there is more truth than
poetry i'm IL.
Dickson is a great believer i'm ad-
vcrtising, but also believes that every
advertisement a company publishes is
an obligation. He would not sanction
am advertisement that his company
could not absolutely fulfill. He says
that when his company talks i'm print
it is just as binding as though they
had signed contract, and explains
that this is why National advertise
ments are always conservative and do
not contain exaggerated claims or
boasts. Dickson points with pride to
his cOmpany's fifteen years Of sue
cess and says that they have never
said anything that they had to live
down and never made any false or
exaggerated claims. 1t Is gratifying to
know that the public has implicit con-
fidcnce In the word and responsibility
Of such a concern French illustrates
with one example saying that National
stock cars in races have always been
absolutely stock cars. He says that
the National still holds the worlds
record for stock cars.

MONUMENT FOR
DEAD OF TWO WARS
German Emperor viii Com
memOrate Heroes i'll
French Town.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM. May 29.-The Ger
man emperor recently sketched a de-
sign for q monument which is to be
erected in the former French town Of
St Quentin, to the memory Of the
tlead in the present war. The story Of
what led to this is given in the Ger
man papers as follows:
THE Germans, on occupying St.
Quentin. found a fine monument to
the French soldiers fallen in 1871, by
the side of which plain memorial
tablet in honor of the German dead Cf
the same year formed a rather undig-
nlfied contrast The military officials
therefore decided to have another
monument erected, this time to the
dead Of 1914-15, which however, is to
be common to both French and Ger
mans The local city councillors Of
fered to bear half the cost, and a
Charlottenburg artist, Professor G.
Wandschaelder, was charged with
drawing the design. The artist sent
I'm three designs and the emperor came
down from the main headquarters es-
pecially to view them.
"He found them unsatisfactory lie
wanted a richer design. He himself
indicated the leading idea: an open
tomple-hall in Etruscan form, IN the
background-the memorial wall with
the names of the dead, and on either
side, on the right and on the left a
German and a French soldier stand
ing as guards of honor. The obvious
objection to this plan was that the
figure of the German soldier may
later on, perhaps, be damaged by
fanatlcal chauvinists bereft Of the
high and noble ideas of the emperor,
who. in a truly German spirit, was
prepared to honor the brave foe, as
much as the victor. Thereupon the
emperor decided: Let the warriors be
equipped in an antique fashion In
the course Of the next few days the
emperor will make two sketches. ex-
pressing his idea and send them to
professor Wandschaelder with the ex-
press remark, however, that he need
not so far as details were concerned,
feel himself in the least tied down to
the model"
