NEED OF DOCTORS BECOMING
ACUTE.

Richmond, July Establishments in
the army and navy by Virginia physi-
clans during the last few weeks have
more than offset the recent gradual
tons from the medical schools and
have left at least thirty-seven dis
tricts in Virginia without sufficient
physicians TO care for the sick.
In the judgment of the State Board
of Health, which today gave publici-
ty to these figures, the need is proba-
bly, greater and more acute than avail
able statistics indicate. Such reports
as have come to the board have been
from individuals and have usually
been coupled with urgent requests to
the boards to prevail upon physicians
to take up practice in the neglected
districts. 1t is reasoned that in many
other districts, probably, physicians
have so recently left that the need is
not yet fully appreciated

BATE OF SOCRATES.

George Aid said at Chicago we'd
ding breakfast:
"The great and good Socrates was
married to scold. Otherwise, per-
haps, he would have spent more time
at home and less time in the mark

Man government.
"This thought occurred to me at a

"'How did Socrates die?"
"'He died." the little girl replied,
