Society Ends Yearly Session
With Social Occasion;
Officers Elected

Physicians OF the territory should
stand together as a body, and with
the assistance of expert legal advice
if necessary, TO secure wise leg1sla-
ton, IL was declared informally and
unofficially but emphatically at the
banquet last night, which closed the
24th annual session of the Medical So
ciety of Hawaii.
The banquet was a social occasion
and as such a marked success, good
Fellowship prevailing up and down the
long table In the Country Club dining
room; but several of the speakers In
the course of responses TO toasts or
extempore remarks urged that indt
yidually and as body the physicians
work for wise legislation In so FAR as
ii affected hygiene, sanitation and the
practise OF medicine in Hawaii. The
workmen's compensation act passed
by the last legislature has come in for
many a rap by the physicians, who
have found out that several amend
ments should be made, and these wiI
probably be urged before the next leg
islature.
