COLORED BY PECUNIARY BIAS
DO Surgeons Perform Needless OPP
crations?

In the American Magazine is an
exceedingly interesting article by DR..
Richard G. Cabot. chief Of the medi-
cal staff of the Massachusetts gen.
eral hospital. Doctor Cabot criti-
ci1os severely our present medical
system which tempts surgeons to
work against the best interests OF the
patients instead # working with
them.
81 do not say that surgeons per-
form unnecessary operations for
money" Doctor Cabot says, but |
must say that they are under extra
ordinary temptations To do so. and
If they always resist those tempta-
tions they must be far above the
ordinary man in virtue | have seen
many a consultation inside a hospital
group and many outside Of II, and |
have had occasion tC compare the
utter freedom from pocuniary bias
that obtains among the physicians Of
free hospital with the desperate
efforts of privately-paid consultants
to make up their minds uninfluenced
hy considerations OF profit In my
mind. there is no possible doubt that
the patient in a free hospital gets a
sounder, cooler. better balanced
Judgment on the question, is Oper-
alton now necessary or unnecessary
than he does under the conditions
of private practice outside hospitals.

Veteran Driver May Lose.
SO in motor racing. if the driver is
of long proven ability, if his mount,
or car of similar construction has
covered itself with glory in many
previous events he is still bounded
by the oPres of fate Take for ex-
ample the heart-rending experience
Of Ralph de Palma who, in the 1914
Indianapolis race was leading until
three miles from the finish when a
broken connecting rod robbed from
him the glory and incidentally the
money, he had come within a hairs
bL1adth of earning.
After luck we put the next great
est factor in the ability of the car
itself to perform the function for
which 1t is intended. No matter how
skillful the driver, 10 matter how
free from accident, he is powerless if
the car fails. Car endurance. let us
call it. A loosened bolt, broken
valve. a CrygtaliZed steering part may
either wreck the car and kill or in
iure the riders, or PIT it permanently
out Of the race. Tho driver has a
big question mark before his eyes un-
til coastinC distance to the finish of
the last lap.
Let us assume that all other condi-
tions throughout the race are ideal.
The ear is capable Of continuous high
speed, the track is in perfect condi-
tion, mechanical and tire troubles are
not a factor, but still the car does not
finish on top. Then the blame rests
on the driver. He lacked the expert
ence, or the nerve. to crowd his
speedy car past other drivers. possibly
with slower cars, who knew the
ropes. We place drivers skill as the
third item in importance. Skill is not
a constant factor. That is. drivers who
have attained equal success do not
drive alike. One may outline his en-
tire race in advance. Systematically,

Another may play stump-the- leader
or may follow the loader basing his
speed on that of his nearest competi-
tor Both methods have won.
The speed of the car does not ne
cessarily win in a race. a car capa BILE
of attaining a speed of ninety miles

THE quickest way to appreciate the
wonder of this triumphant transcon-
tinental Cadillac trip, is to close your eyes
and call up two pictures-One of the start
and the other of the finish.
Transport yourself first to beautiful Los
Angeles, and imagine a Cadillac leaving the
city one minute after midnight or a Mon
day morning, the second week in May
Then, blot out the picture of Los Angeles
and substitute New York, and try to con-

Cadillac in the interim-Detween these two

RELATIVES CELE.
BRATE BIRTHDAY
OF Robert D. Moore and All Enjoy
A Happy Reunion and wish
Him Many More.

On April 18th, 1916, at his res
idence in the Glendale vicinity,
gathered a number of relatives
to celebrate the S0th birthday of
the venerable Robert y. Moore.
He being the only survivor of
the large family of the former
Robert Moore of this county.
Regardless of his age and i'll
health of this year, the day
seemed to be an uplift to him.
and for the time, he seemed to
take new lease on llfe's bor-
rowed time.
The day was enjoyed by all,
as every means was used by his
daughter. Miss Mamie, assisted
by his daughters-in-law, to make
the occasion a pleasant enc.
At the noon hour all formali-
ties being wholly discarded (for
something better.) We entered
heartily into a delicious "old
time Kentucky dinner" which
did credit to any modern social
function.
The short hours of the after
noon were varied by music furn-
ished by organ, victrola and
laughter of an Easter egg party.
The junior member of the party
being the 4th Robt. Moore of the
family notwithstanding his ten
der age Of two summers, he man.
ifested and created more interest
than any other member engaged
in the search.
Those present for the day,
were Messrs. R. E.. and R. C.
Moore and families. Harvey ].
and Miss Mamie. who resides
with the father; two nieces, Mrs.
Lummie Yates Clark and Miss
Addie Franks; one nephew, Mas
ter Miller Hurley. Misses Mary
and Sue Moore could not be pres
ent, being enroute to the X. E.
A., in Louisville.
After good yes had been said,
each left for his respective
home, wishing they might all
have many happy returns of the
day. "A Niece.
