Brussels, Feb. 19-Brand Whitlock,
he American minister III Brussels,
md Henry w. Diederich, the Ameri-
an Consul General in Antwerp, who
we're sources from whom The Asso-
ciated Press correspondent sought in
formation as to the progress Of relief
work. both declared that the German
authorities were cooperating so far
as possible in the service which out
siders were trying to render to the
distressed Belgians
Mr.. Whitlock, fresh and alert. not
withstanding the strain of the past
few months, is still actively interest
ed in the work of the American Relief
Committee. and discussing its impor-
lance, he said:
There are places where the cessa-
ton of our work for a week would
mean starvation. believe that its
cessation for three weeks would mean
hunger throughout Belgium. Ger.
man officer said to me yesterday that
/ to stop it for day would moan suf
fering in some localities
The committee is now so systemat
icslly established. that its headquar
| tiers occupy no less than TWENTY-FIVE
rooms, which, like the offices of an
American sky-scrapers, are lettered al
the door with the names of the varip
ous departments.
| Throughout Brussels there is such
| magic in the word American" tina
! even the cabmen no longer poster
Americans for tips. Hand him the ex
act fare. if he knows you are Ameri
can, he will smile and say "Thanl
| you!" and appear to be sufficient,
rewarded with the honor of having al
American for his fare. 1t is triflini
thing, but In strange contrast to tn
aptebellum days when a Brussels CAT
man looked to Americans for big tip:
and was never satisfied. however bi
the tip might be.

'Possum Hunt.
Miss Janero Rigoulot, of Kentucky,
who is a guest OF Mrs. G. F. Dawson,
Of Laurel avenue, was complimented
last night by that time-honored Missis-
sippi festivity, a "Possum Hunt" A
big motor truck took the company of
twenty out to Harvey and from there
they had merry chase into the woods,
following the dogs over fields, fences,
logs and bitches until no less than
three 'possums were caught. The
woods are always bewitching at night
and there was just enough moonlight
to make a hunt an ideal and typical
one. A fire was built, hot coffee made,
eggs boiled and sandwiches and fruit
served while resting from the chase.
The occasion was one of much pleas
ure until it was found that the motor
truck had missed the party and the four
miles home had to be walked, so it
was in the very small hours of today
that the party reached home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. NJ. Willoughby

Fewer BuS Better Colleges.
OF the ninety-two medical colleges
which have ceased to exist since 1904,
fifty-two wero closed by merger and forty
became extinct. This rapid diminution
IN the number Of colleges began with the
creation of the council on medical edu-
cation Of the American Medical associa-
tIon in 1906 The largest number closing
in single years wero ten in 1907. when
the councils first classification Of mad
ical colleges was preparedi thirteen In
1910, when the second classification was
published. and fourteen In 1873, when
the third classification was made pub
Ito.
The total number Of colleges is grow
ing smaller, and is approaching moro
nearly the normal supply for this ooun-
try. But the high grade. stronger med
ioal colleges are constantly increasing.
There srs still sixteen cities. each Of which
has two or more medical schools. and In
two Of these mergers are scarcely pos
sible, owing to the fact that the schools
are for different races, leaving fourteen
cities where mergers are stul possible.
These cities and the number OF colleges
I'm each arei Chicago. eight; New York.
seven; Philadelphia, six; Boston, four;
San Francisco. three; st. Louis. threei
Washington. three, and there are two
colleges each in Ann Arbor. Baltimore.
Cincinnati. Columbus. Iowa City, Los
Angeles and Omaha In lsoa there were
twenty-four cities having each from two
to fourteen medical sohoola The highest
development Of medical education in thess
cities is prevented by the existenos Of
too many competing medical schools.
For the further Improvement not only
Of Undergraduate. but also Of graduate
medical instruction in this country. there
should be other mergers tn the fourtsen
cities named.

enroUte to or from the coast and New

the training place of the majority of
the leading pugilists of the country
and their activities have stirred the
fans and improved the chances Of
passage Of a boxing bill.
There are three boxing bills ready

the game; the third evidently intend

For the first time the big athletic
clubs of Chicago are behind the bills
the square Ones-and there is a
liberal support among the down state
legislators that promises the passage
of some kind Of a bill permitting box
ing in Illinois. All the bills provide
for boxing commissions, limited
round bouts and two of them provide
for a decision.
The sudden influx of fighters after
the game was killed in California
gave boxing a huge boost in Chicago.
