that although Germany planned to

surgeon general Of the United States
Public Health Service.
When from 40 to 80 per cent OF
the medical profession have entered
the service. as has found 20 be true
in all parts of the country, plans
must be formed TO utilize the small
material that Is left, SO that there
shall be no wastage. At a recent
meeting OF State health chiefs with
lem was discussed.
Upon one point Of the problem
all were agreed. and that was that
the old competitive practices Of
physicians must be prevented I'm or
der that the heavy load of work may
be equally distributed and more ef-
fieiently done.
/. For instance. no man living ten
miles away from q doctor should be
allowed to call that physician. but
should have sent 20 him a doctor
within his zone. Each doctor should
have a certain district within which
TO practice. 80 that there would be
no duplication Of effort or loss of
time in going to and fro.
Also all ambulant cases, cases in
which the patient is able to walk,
should be required TO get their
treatment at the doctors once and
thereby save the valuable time OF
the physician"
Another method tried out by doc
tors individually has been for two
doctors to take over the practice Of
the man who has entered the serv-
ice and turn over half the fees TO
the service mans family.
DIR. Fowler on Local Situation.
That the question in the District
Is serious is borne out by the state
ments of DIR. W. c. Fowler. Of the
District Health Department.
There have been 9.226 cases of
contagious diseases reported since
January /.
'Of course in some years the
numbers are much larger than in
others. but this year the number OF
cases reported is exceptionally large.
This is due in part to the large in
flux in population and also to the
cantonments.
The measles and scarlet fever
epidemic this spring was largely
due to the gathering together OF
men from all parts OF the country
into the cantonments.
'Of course the cantonments with

leave them entirely in the hands Of
