LOGAN's LINE
and perhaps a little more.

z
 The first scientist to discover the great earth fault or crack which runs through the eastern part of the North American continent was Sir William Edmund Logan. the canadian geoio- gist, who was born TIT years ago to day and died in 1875. He was di- rector of the Canadian Geological Sur vey from 1s42 to 1871, and in l 1857 he discovered the belt of old earth quake activity which has since been known as ..Logan's Line" and which extends through the lower St Law renee valley along the Appalachian range of mountains to Central Ala bana Logan traced this belt by means of the great dislocations or faults in the rocks. The worst earth quake in North American history, that of 1883, was in this belt, and on many occasions since then, and as late as 1918, this part of the earth has been visited by treInors. Scientists declare that the great movement of rock stra- ia which occurred chiefly in the re- mote geologic past is not yet wholly compIete. and that the fault discover ed bv the Cana dian geologtst suggests the possibility of future earthquakes caused by the slipping of rock masses upon each other within the earth s crust.

War is Divine Vengeance, Says Cardinal Farley,
 Who Is 73 Today

The great European war is to be considered as divine vengeance upon peoples who neglected and persecuted the CathaIic church, in the opinion of Cardinal Farley, the venerable Arch bishop of New York. John Murphy Farley was born in County Armagh, Ireland, seventy-three years ago today and was the son of an Irish publican. In his youth, before he was sent to school to be educated for the church at the expense of we1l-to-do relatives he worked in liquor and tobacco shops. His elevation to the arch b1shopric of Americas greatest city and the Sacred College followed a, long career spent in the earnest ser vice of the church.
 Had the people of Europe needed the pleas of the late Pontiff," Cardinal Farley has declared. had they needed the teachings and warnings of the church, they would not now be en- gagged in a bloody war. But they did not heed. Almost every nation in Eurpoe was prosecuting the church. trafnpling on it's rights, driving it into the corners of the land. And now they are paying the penalty. They are suffering for their. sins against God.
 f.sAnd men are realizing this. Their eyes are being opened, and as they go to fight theys see the vengeance of God-and they are praying to God 
 would never bend before. The world is filled with prayers for Gods mercy. Men who have not taken their Holy Communion for twenty years are talk ing it today. saw them in France, in Austria in Switzerland, in Ger many, and in Italy.
 Men have talked of culture, but now they are realizing that there can be no culture without Christianity. They see that culture alone cannot stand They are remembering the culture of peoples of thep ast, of the Aztecs in Mexico, whom Cortez found 400 years ago in one of the highest stages of civilization The Aztec cu1- 4ure and civilization fell, as any civil ization without Christianity will fall
 Nations cannot neglect Gods com naandments with inpunity. They mus come to see that only God through Jesus Christ can give them lasting peace. They must realize that He is the Way and the Truth and the Light and that He is the only Prince ol Peace

The completes remedy, as I see it,
lies with the people themselves.
Twenty years there ago there were

Another reason for writing on the
subject of fee-splitting is to tell peo-
pie how to know a ,fee-splitter. Is
there any way whereby the people
can know fee-splitters?
Sometimes, though not always. If
a physician proposes to the patient
that he, the physician, arrange the
terms with the operator, it is a good
guess that fee-splitting is at the back
Of the proposal If he is anxious to
accompany the patient to the oper-
ator, and especially, If It is announced
that he is to assist at the operation,
it is a good guess that he Is a fee
splitter.
In country neighborhood it is
often noted that certain physician
keeps stream of patients flowing
to certain operator. This may not
be the result Of fee-splitting, hut. it
should cause one to Investigate fur
theer in case he is anticipating the
need Of operation. There are clinics
to q which physicians &C. 60 In large
numbers. Occasionally it happens
that some physician. will be visiting
one of these clinics at a time when
some patient of his is there. What
has been written above may incline
that patient to suspect that fee-split-

I think the following rule can be ap-
piled. There is no great: clinic in
this country that is run on a fee

PATRIOTISM AND PREPAREDNESS

We read much in the press on the
subject Of national preparedness, and
for our country's sake it is we'll that
it is So. No important country ever
stood in greater need of it than we
stand today.
But while taking up the subject Of
building warships and raising army
reserves, let us not overlook the mat
ter 0f patriotism in local communi-
ties, for it is upon these people the
nation must lean to great extent
III time of stress.
Newspaper publicity and the i'm
minence of our being plunged into
war is :sdoing much to convert the
adult mind to the necessity of an ade-
qtiate Preparation for defense against
fnVasion,a but we should go farther
than the adult.
we should begin today to inject a
feeling OF patriotism into the hearts
Of the youth Of our local communi-
ties, reverence of and devotion to
the flag of our country, and a deter
mlnation to uphold the dignity and
preserve the integrity Of the nation
at all times and under all conditions.
Since the days Of '61 and '65 the
patriotism of the American people
has Been declining day by day, until
1915 finds us nation Of adults with
bit slight conception of what the
flag Should mean to us, and with less
tk0ight as TO the future security OF
our country.
Patriotism has been left to shift
for itself. and has gone down in the
waters Of commerciaHsm.
It> is time for a change, and the
change should begin today.
m every school and in every home
of the country little children should
be taught to love and respect the
stars and stripes, to look upon them
as the symbol of liberty and the
champion Of right and Of the weak
ana the oppressed.
They should be taught that love OF
country ranks next to their love OF
God, even to the giving Of life itself
IN its defense.
If the same policy had been pur-
sued IN our homes and in our schools
and other public places during the
past fifty years the nation would not

q Fee-splitttng among medical men
|is. an evil from. which both patients
( and nd ri Mphysieians ls,s suffer the eonaeauen
ces. Those who practice it constitute
a minority of the profession in bad
odor among their associates. Patients
can know them by certain signs.
Is there any remedy for this prac-
,tice? Especially, is there any means
|by which people may end the pracr
tice Of 5fee-sp1ftting among physic-
ians? Incidentally, by which man
may. safeguard himself against fee
splitters? ~ p
The reason, at least one Of the rea-
sons, why fee-splitting is legal and
moral among lawyers and business
men, and illegal and immoral among
doctors, is because among the for
mer fee-splitting, called brokerage
fees, or by other names, is an above
board transaction. It is advertised
widely. The fees, when not paid. are
sued for and recovered in the courts,
1T is thoroughly established in. Gus
tom. The man who pays knows be-
fore he starts who gets the money,
and how much he is to get. If the
fee-splitting physicians would be
equally open in their, transactions,
the state laws against fee-splitting
would fail to cover the case, and in
time the custom of fee-splitting might
be established. But that will not be
the solution Of fee-splitting, because
the men who practice it could not
profit BY any any. fair atr, procedure. They
live by taking unfair advantage of
their patients, and Of physicians gen
orally. They would oppose this pro
po'ssal, because it would be in the in
terest Of fairness. AS they, are the
gge people who benefit benefit from from the coil Of
fee-splitting, their opposition would
kill the proposal.
Is there any other remedy? The
various state laws are partial rene
dies. They do not, will not, and
cannot not cure, but they help. 4lp The The &C. &c
