Are Doctors "TOne Deaf?"

Here a poser for a fact: Is the physician must
cally deaf?
A prominent Philadelphia says that he is and he
gives the results of his observations in this fashion,
Again and again have doctors advised me, as
business to let up and see some show in the
evenings. When 1 suggested a concert or the opera
they would look with bewiderment and answer
oh. a good show is much better for you
Finally 1 got curious to know why every doctor
knew apparently opposed good music as health
restorer. One day l met the wife of one OF THESE
doctors, and 1 asked her.
Why, don't you know she answered that my
husband is unsteady tone deaf?
Then wondered whether the other doctors were
deaf too. and CHANGED it the wife of second
doctor.
oh no." she said "I can't drag him to a concert
He cannot carry tune You know he is tone dear.
That seemed strange to friend, the Philadelphia
business man, who is great devotee of music and
must have been genuinely panied when his doctors
operas
Finally he went to gentleman whose business
brings him in close contact with half the leading
physicians in Philadelphia. This latter gentleman was
only surprised that the other hadn't known about the
medical
why. my dear fellow" he observed. mot more than
one in twenty doctors has any for music. The
profession is almost deaf Look the audience
doctors do you see? There's Harte and Ziegler and
few other habitues but how many more"
My business friend said they must be too busy to
attend these musical functions.
They have time to go to the theater," said the
other.
But why should physician more than any other
professional man. the next query ''be musically
tone deaf?'
Il don't know" the other replied "Ar do know
is that they but why that's for the doctors them
selves to explain"
But is it true?-Girard in the Philadelphia Public

Imagination is to be viewed, not only as the

Success and happiness-there are ideals all OF

Lloyd-George, fell the task of rounding out Kitch-
ener's vast labor of recruiting and equipping an
army of five million; and it was upon his insistence
that a firm policy OF CONSUMPTION at last was
adopted.
Whether Loyd-George would be as well suited
to the broad burdens of the Premiership as he has
been to his particular fields of service, whether his
boldness and energy would be always duly balanced
by the prudence and imperturbabity that made Mr.
Asquith so dependable is at least open to question
There is doubt, however, that Lloyd-George is
the foremost spokesman of those Englishmen who
demand more vigorous and daring war policy
and If the present situation eventually places him
at the head of a ministry there will be speed
ing up in every part of the British war machine.
II is possible and in the opinion of some CORES
pondents probable, that Mr.. Asquth may be back
at the head of the Government before many days.
In any event the need of smaller war council en-
powered to make and execute decisions more quick
