SOME MAY GET new POST
Statement Says Wherever Possible
Federal Directors Will Be Appoint
cd From Among Operating Of
flcers Of Property.

Washington, May 22-Every rail-
road president In the United States was
relieved from active duty as executive
manager Of his road by Director Gen
eral McAdoo. He will appoint a fed
eral director for each road. responsible
only to the railroad administration.
In many cases the president Of the
road may be named federal director.
New Operating Districts.
AS another step in the reorganiza-
ton of railroad management, the d.
rector general ordered the cation of
two operating districts-the Allegheny
region, consisting Of the principal
trunk lines east Of Pittsburgh, exclud-
Ing the New York Central, managed by
G. II. Markham, now regional director
for the South, and the Pocahontas dis
trtct, consisting of the East and West
trunk lines terminating at Hampton
Roads.
McAdoo's Statement.
The following statement was issued
by Director General McAdoo:
I'm view Of the direct responsibility
for the operation of the railroads OF
the country placed upon Director Gen
eral McAdoo by the act of congress,
and by the proclamations of the presi-
dent. he has been unable to escape the
conclusion that 1t will be advisable to
place In direct charge of each prop
erty for operating purposes a repre-
tentative to be known as the federal
manager. who will report to the re-
Nonal director
viii Choose Old Officers.
"As far as practicable this federal
manager will be chosen from the op-
Grating officers Of the particular prop
erty who are entirely familiar with its
employees and Its conditions.
Except so far as may be necessary
to meet the emergency conditions
which compel the government to take
control OF the railroads, the federal
manager Of each railroad will en-
deayor to avail himself to the fullest
extent Of the advantages incident to
the operations Of the particular rail-
road az unit and the preservation Of
it's identity.
Stockholders safeguarded.
This Is believed to be Of essential
importance. not only to secure the
best results during the period Of gov
ernment control but also to give the
greatest degree OF reinsurance to the
officers and employees that the rail-
road careers upon which they have en-
tered will not be narrowed but If any
thing, will be broadened, and to give
the greatest possible reinsurance to
the stockholders that their just inter-
ests In the properties will be respected
and that nothing will be needlessly done
TO have even the appearance Of i'm
pairing their just rights"

VALUE OF MUSICAL TRAINING
Sound Reasons Why Physicians Should
Have Thorough Knowledge Of
Sound and Of Rhythm.

The great value of musical training
to the practicing physician is pointed
out by DR.. Ernest Zueblin, associate
professor of medicine in the Univer-
sity of Cincinnati, in an article con-
tributed to American Medicine. Ap
probation of the pitch, intensity and
duration of sounds and of rhythm,
which must be acquired, by the musi-
clan in the study of his art, are also
necessary to the doctor, who is obliged
to take note of these same sound quail
tiles in making many of his diagnoses.
The objective signs Of disease, DR..
Zueblin points out, are closely related
to acoustic phenomena, such as con-
ductivity, quality, tonality, pitch, in
tensity, duration and rhythm. The
cOnductivity of sound, for instance, is
quite different in normal lung from
one where there is fluid between the
lung and the chest wall. The quality
and tonality Of sounds produced within
the lungs or heart or transmitted
through the abdominal viscera, are
essential for the diagnostician. The
better the musical training, the sharper
the personal perception Of the student,
the more he will excel his competitors
