VIRGINIA ASKED TO SUPPLY
NEUR0L0GlSTS FOR ARMY
Shortage OF PhysicIans Especially for
Treating Mental Diseases ind
Nervous Disorders Reported.

Virginia is asked by Major Pearce
Bailey, chairman of the Mental Hygiene
War Work Committee of the Nationa
Committee for Mental Hygiene, TO
make strenuous efforts to supply rs
many psychiatrists and neurologists as
possible for service ut the many hos
pitfalls to be established by the govern
ment behind the firing line in Europe.
because OF the fact that mental diseases
and disorders are becoming extremely
heavy and arc expected to be by far
the most numerous pathological con-
ditions with the medical branch of the
army Will have to contend.
Major Bailcy's appeal which was
sent to Governor Stuart and referred
yesterday to the State Council of De-
Tense, has the endorsement of Surgeon
General William G. Gorgas, of the
United States Army. The matter was
also laid before the medical section of
the council last night by DR.. Ennion
G. Williams. State Commissioner of
Health. Medical men Of this class,
however. are said to be limited in Vir-
glnia. and the STATS of the several in
situations treating these ailments have
been reduced considerably during the
past few weeks.
Major Baileys letter to the Governor
was as follows:
THE army has in contemplation the
maintenance of 100000 hospital beds
for the use of it's sick and injured SOL
diers, partly in this country but more
largely in Europe. This means "a dras-
tic demand on the whole medical pro-
fcssion of the United States 1t must
be met IL the United States is to issue
successfully from this war. 1t sur
passes in Importance every civil con-
Sideration.
For service in Europe there will
soon be urgent need for psychia trists
and neurologists. as over there the
nervous diseases (not injuries) con-
stitute the most serious single medical
casualty and interfere more than any
other medical condition with military
efficiency. Psychiatrists and neurolo-
giSts, therefore, are now in greater de-
mand than any other specialists in
medicine. and all State organizations
which employ them must be called
upon to furnish their full quota, even
though their own services are left
somewhat depleted. To meet vacancies
thus created. places formerly occupied
by men specialists might be taken by
women specialists.
The State hospitals for the insane
must inevitably supply, to n large ex-
tent, the physicians who are to care
LOT mental diseases In the army These
physicians have offered their services
IN large numbers but in some cases the
managers OF the hospitals have taken
narrow view which prevents these
men securing leave of absence "a re-
CURED Due regard will be given not
70 dcplcte too seriously the STATS of
civil institutions. and yet we feel that
you could aid very greatly by recon-
nehuinE to local boards in your State
the wisdom of liberal policy in this
inalter in order that the men who are
10 fiGht our battles shall receive proper
| medical aid"

Sparrow introduced for Purpose.

The sparrow was introduced into the
United States for specific purpose.
He was expected to destroy certain
noxious insects, especially the larvae
of moths, some Of them native, others
like the sparrow himself mistakenly
imported. The native kinds were nuis-
ances in city parks and shaded city
streets. Native birds, which now UNI
der protection are common city dwell
lers, would probably have come to do
every service the sparrow ID; but 1t
does not require very old resident OF
New York to remember the days when
caterpillars rained down on the Sab
bath fnery Of gentlefolk crossing the
parks, and those caterpillars the SPAR
row undeniably did clean up, and New
York was grateful. With the other
moths, however-alien moths like the
gypsy and the brown tail, which were
scourges Of vegetation-the sparrow
failed.

HAD TO THINK SECOND TIME
Story Of How Johnny Poe, Famous
Princeton Athlete, Joined Famous
! Regiment, 10 Told.

In this war we deal In terms Of tens
and hundreds Of thousands of men.
Necessarily the individual is lost sight
of. Courage, heroism and patriotic
acts are the rule and not the exception.
We Americans have rarely had It
brought home to us But when Johnny
Poe, the old Princeton athlete, fell upon
the fields Of Flanders there was that
about his death which made US feel
toward him as we have always felt
toward Nathan Hale the Revolutionary
martyr, who, like Poe, was college
athlete in his day, says an exchange.
For the above reasons the accounts
and the story of his. enlistment, which
was recently brought to Baltimore
Poe's home-by Johns Hopkins sur
geon, is therefore doubly welcome.
Poe, who went to England with a
Canadian regiment, wanted to join the
Black Watch, that famous Scotch regi-
ment which has followed the union
Jack around the world. He offered his
services at a time when the English
government was Directing to others
than its own subjects enlisting. Poe
brought much influence to bear and at
last came before the recruiting officer,
who had been advised to wink at the
facts. Poe was asked his place of
birth.
Baltimore" he replied.
''Poe," said the officer, "there is
long hall outside this room. You go
out there, walk up and down 1t for
long time, think hard and then return
and answer my question"
Poe followed these instructions and
upon reappearing was again asked his
place of birth.
Dover" he replied.
Thus Johnny Poe. Princeton athlete
and soldier, entered the Black Watch.
He Joined its long list of heroes at the
battle of Loos, September 25, 1915.

lions, for as he fell he said, "Never

Elaolers Dream Coming True.

The announcement that contract

ship company for the transportation

amount of sugar and pineapples dem
onstrates that the dream Of Henry w.
Flagler, which caused him to build the
"Overseas railroad" and the ferry sys-
tenn between Havana and Key West, Is
coming true. 1t was Mr.. Flagler's
dream that the railroad and ferry
would be crowded with northbound
traffic. During the first years Of the
ferry the results have been just the
reverse to what Mr.. Flagler had fg-
ured them. But there is reason to be-
lieve now that the traffic Is beginning
to 90 north also, as the builder had
planned.-Havana Post.
