SURGEONS STRIKE
AT FEE.SPLITTINC

The resolution of the clinical con-
gress of surgeons of the United
States, in its Philadelphia session,
denouncing as unprofessional the
division of fees paid for surgical
operations between the family doc
tor who recommends the surgeon
himself, will be warmly approved by
all dignified and conscientious phys
leans. It is true, as stated in the de-
bate, that this leads to the prefer
ring of cheap and competent men to
perform operations, because they
will give up larger share Of a big
fee, and also leads to the recon-
mendation of many operations,
meaning the buying and selling Of
sick persons.
The evil is coming slow into de-
served contempt. A law making such
division of fees a misdemeanor or
even a felony might we'll be on the
statute book of each state in the Un-
ion. The patient and the patients
friends are utterly helpless. TIE at
tending doctor says life depends up
on an operation. What surgeon shall
be called? oh. Dr. So-and-So is ex-
cellent. DR.. So ,aad SO comes, does
what he would have been glad TO do
for 500, charges $500, an! gives
$3.50 to his partner. the family ply
sician. There is no standard Cor such
fees. The rule even of highgrade
surgeons seems to be to charge all
the patient will permit, and tins is
justified by the considerable nIn;-
Der of free operations performed.
The second or third rate surgeon
doesn't always kill the patient. Of
ten he does. More often he wrecks
health for lifetime.

 IN ARSENALS
{ Associated PreSs)

tfhH''oNith'Nt i'oo'
 NEW YORK, Aug. l0.-Recognizing that labor difficulties at the present time might seriously interfere with the governments war plans, the war and navy departments today took steps to adjust wages to meet the advancing cost of living. This move will bring more pay to the employees in all government arsenals, ship yards and naval stations.
 Repeated complaints that govern ment pay has not increased as rap idly as the pay for skilled and com mon labor in private plants and threats of strikes in government plants has led the heads of the war and navy departments to take prompt steps to raise wages.
 It is the rule of these departments to make an annual adjustment of wages, and though the time of the yearly adjustment is three months off, the government announced to- night that the adjustment will be taken up at once. The new scale will be decided upon after careful survey of the wages being paid for similar work in private plants.

ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

Alaska Citizen
 Would you be kind enough through your kind and neWsy paper to an swer the following questions to set tie an argument between two con stant subscribers and sourdoughs? CD What is the cause of shadows on the moon from the new moon until it gets full? CD Is it possible for an object that will submerge not to sink to the bottom of water, or will an object that will submerge go all the way to the bottom? The Encyclopedia Brittanica gives the an swers to both the questions, but as We have no such thing on LiVen- good creek, We are leaving it to The Citizen to settle the question through its newsy, obIising sheet.
 Tell the Tattler to get busy. Thank, ing you in advance.
 TWO SOURDOUGHS.

As the sun travels toward a position which places the moon almost in direct line between the earth and sun, the moon as sumes a crescent shape. The earth, as seen from the moon, assumes simi. | lar phases.
