DOCTORS VETO PLAN
FOR open FORUM
overrule Motion From West for
Free Discussion of "Non-
Censored" Topics
DAYLIGHT SAVING PLEA

Special pispotch TO EUcrino Public Ledger.
Atlantic City. June 1O.-A movement
from the progressive West to liberalizp
the legislative body of the American
Medical Association by providing for an
open forum at each years convention
for the free and frank discussion nf
noncensored topics met summary dc
feat in the house of delegates today.
Standpatters, arguing that delegates
already have moro meetings than they
can attend, insisted that the house
of delegates already has the power 10
resolve itself into committee of the
whole at any time. An administration
motion to table the free speech recon
mendation was dccisively beaten. The
chair then held the parliamentary prop
osition before the session was adoption
of the recommendation and that it had
been rejected. The prOgressivcs sur
! rendered without a murmur.
As "A concession to the insurgents it
was resolved that the house should be
privileged at option to 60 into com
mttce Of tho whole tn discuss any
subject delegates might care TO present.
Committees wcrc directed to consider
tho advisability of publishing Journal
of medicine for lay readers: n revision
ot the post graduate courses Of medical
colleges. and the presentation of plan
for old age pensions for doctors :
request from the Nurses Associa-
ton OF New York that the convention
protest vigorously against the repeal of
the daylight saving law was sent to
committee.
Not voice was raised in objection
to resolution putting the doctors Of
the country upon record against n hill
at Washington to forbid the use Of dogs
tor experimental purposes by surgeons
IN federal territories. The convention
asserted such law would scrjouslv
interfere with scientific research for thc
combating Of human ailments.
High Wages and Cheap Money
Depreciation of the purchasing rovcr
Of tho dollar was attributed as tbo
principle cause for labor unrest moi
only in tn" United States, but other
countries, by Prof. Irving Fisher. OF
Yale. before the American Academy
Of Medicine.
lie said the worker becomes inccnscd
after he has struck for increased nav
and won to find that the cost of living
has been increased in just about the
same ratio.
1T is my opinion that this was one
OF the principal causes of the war"
said Professor Fisher. THE kaiser
recognized that class war was brew
ing within the boundaries of the empire
and to avert this war be caused war
with other nations"
The Yale professor asserted the rise
in the cost of living was merely the
depreciation of the value of money. The
laboring men believe wages have been
increased during the war, but with the
exceptions Of few trades this is not
so. Real wages must be measured in
bread and butter and measured as such
during the war they have really been
lowered. Wages in money during last
year advanced 33 per cent. while prices
advanced 80 per cent. Until some So
luton can be found for the rapid de-
probation of money and the correspond
ing increase in the cost of living there
is bound to be labor unrest.

The bomb was a regular sized depth charge,
weighing hundreds Of pounds, and it would have
been impossible for anyone to have lifted 1t and
carried it to safety even If one of the crew had
cared to take the risk Of catching 1T in It's wild
PUSHES and rollings about the deck. So the Off
GERS and men stood for a time watching the

what to do, and not knowing what minute the In

flying into eternity.

less than a second after the shout was raised the
nlucky Yankee b~oatswain's mate dashed down the
deck and flung himself on the rolling bomb, much
after the fashion that football players throw
themselves on the ball.
Three times he had his arms about 1t, but each
time it tore away, once almost crushing him as
the roll of the ship hurled it upon him. The
fourth time, however. he got a firm hold on 1t,
and with almost superhuman effort heaved 1t up
right on one fiat end. Then Mackenzie sat down
on the deadly charge-thOugh even In that po-
sitiOn the bomb might have exploded and blown
him to atoms-and succeeded in holding it until
lines could be run to him and the charge dashed
safely to the deck.
The commanding officer of the Remlik In his
report recommending that the medal of honor be
conferred on Mackenzie. says:
Mackenzie, in acting as he did, exposed his
life and prevented q serious accident and prob
able loss Of the ship and the entire crew. Had
the depth charge exploded on the quarterback
with the sea and tn wind that existed at the time
there is no doubt 0ut the ship would have been
lost"
Mackenzie is q native Of Massachusetts. His
home is South Hadley Falls.

TO MAKE ECONOMICAL APRON
Good Service in These Days Of
High-Priced Cotton.

Every woman knows that when a
mans s'irt has wornOut cuffs and
holes below the collarband, making the
shirt unwearable, there is still q guam
tity Of good material left. When there
are children In the family there is gen.
orally q way to use 1t; when not, 1t
usually goes into the rag-bag.
An apron. can be made OF the materi-
al and in these days of high-priced cot
ton goods 1t will pay well to use the
goods in this way. Cut off the neck
band and yoke; cut out sleeves; lay
body Of shirt out fiat and cut out
apron, making it as large as the goods
will permit. The openings on the side
are sewed up. A facing for the top
Of the apron is cut from what is left
Of one of the fronts.
One sleeve will make the strings
ard the other sleeve will make a bib,
If one is wanted, and with a little
piecing q bib can be made with straps
sewed into strings at the back.
This makes an apron that can be put
on with one motion. No pins and no
buttons, and bib always in place.

TWO NEW COLORS NOW IN USE
Overseas Blue and Artillery Red Pro-
vide Very Smart Combination
Military Effects.

There are two new colors which are
beautiful, overseas blue and artillery
red. The overseas blue is a shade as
lovely as the sky on the most beautiful
Of days. Artillery red is the vivid
bright scarlet n would imagine 1t TO
be. A combination Of navy blue and
artillery red is very smart, q mere
touch Of the latter being sufficient TO
brighten the dullest frocks. 1t fs
placed a%greeably on a paneled blouse
b%uttOnlng at one side with rather
large round red buttons caught with
silken loops of red cord.
1t Is curious to note, observes a fash
ion writer, how we reach out after
as many Of the military effects as pos
sible. Epauiets. for instance, are made
Of fur, or gold fringe or silver, and
again Of some of the Japanese bro
caded metallic fabrics.
Another military note is the slash
ing seen In some costumes. One fabric
Is slit and a material OF contrasting
color is pulled through the opening.
This treatment supplies a very new
and effective bit Of trimming. A
charming soft blouse of dove gray
georgette with a tiny French chemi.
settle Of Alencon lace was slashed
through with pale pink velvet ribbons
at the yoke and on the cuffs.

CHOICE OF BLOUSE
Decision on Style Is of lmpor.
vance to All Women.
Garment to Accompany Suit Should
Blend Properly and Coat Must
Be Long Enough.

Selection Of the suit blouse is a
much more important matter than
many women think. If the blouse
chosen to accompany a suit does not
blend properly with the suit the en-
tire outfit appears at a disadvantage,
declares a fashion writer. If the suit
Is a dressy one, the blouse should be
Of the same type, and if n plainly
tailored or sport suit is worn the
blouse should be equally sever
The blouse shown in the sketch is
q smart model for wear with q dressy
long enough to cover the entire blouse,
of course; but suit coats this season
are practically all quite long. Thirty
eight inches is about the minimum
length, and some reach almost to the
hem Of the skirt.
The blouse shown Is made Of georg-
cite, with the front cut on Surplice
lines. The back is plain, finished nj
the neck with a little round yoke or
collar embroidered TO match the long
DuIclS lHuJ cAtSuu uoWu SltiSI SluS
Of the front. This blouse would be
smart, made of white georgette, with
embroidery and piping of revers in
oriental colorings, or a single color to
match the suit with which the blouse
Is to be worn may be chosen. This
blouse might also be made Of satin
or crepe de chine, with very good eff
feet.
A great many of the smartest
blouses shown this season combine two
colors. The upper part or sleeves
may be Of rose, with lower half, from
bust to waistline, OF navy, or the
entire blouse may be of rose color
with navy sleeves for example.
There Is a clever conservation
scheme in utilizing last seasons blouse'
of sheer white, such as georgette
lace, net, etc., as the foundation Over
which are worn little ~low-necked
sleeveless blOuses made of g~eorgette
In a color to match the seasons suit
These little sleeveless georgettt
blouses in color are ever worn over
sheer lingerie blouses.
A great many tailored crepe de
chine and satin blouses are shown
this season made with high collars

men was ordered to go into Sergy and to hold a GER
tain street. The Germans were still in the town and
were raking all roads approaching with q storm Of
machine gun fire. The platoon emerged from a
wooded shelter on the north bank of the Ourcq
and made it's way across q slOping field toward
the outskirts of the village. There it was met
with a whitening hail of bullets that Immediately
began to thin the ranks, but the men kept on go
ing.
As the little company drew nearer the town
the fire from the German machine guns increased.
1t became so deadly accurate that by the time
the platoon had entered the village only 20 odd
of the original so men remained, and James Hy-
land Of Brooklyn. n. Y. was one of those 20.
Immediately on entering the town the platoon
made its way TO the street it had been ordered to
hold. The men sought shelter behind a pile of
debris at the head Of the thorOughfare, Il poor
shelter indeed and one swept by machine guns and
snipers from three sides. But the lieutenant in
command, who is now dead, decided that mas
much as his orders were to stay there until re-
lieved. there he would stay.
Every Hun in that end Of the town seemed to
he directing his undivided attention to the little
company of Americans behind it's fimsy shelter.
The snipers were everywhere. A particularly
deadly fire came from machine guns placed in a
Red Cross building so fierce was it that the men
spent nearly all Of their ammunition trying to get
those guns, and finally rushed the building, but
they had to come back.
FoOdless and waterless, they stayed there all
shat day. AS the hours dragged on, the gallant
band grew smaller and smaller. BY afternoon all
Of the officers had been killed and the privates
elected commanders, who one by one were shot
down.
When relief reached them at seven o'clock that
evening Hyland and one comrade-whose name
isn't given-were all that were left Of the so who
started out In the morning. Hyland was in COM
mand, and the two men were shooting their last
cartridges ut the machine gunners up the street
they had been ordered to hold.

FUTURE HIDDEN FROM CLAY.

Could the shade Of Henry Clay, reused from the
slumbers of more than threescore years by the
pondemonium as 100 engineers tied down their
whistle cords and shrilled forth exultant shrieks,
have trod the atmospheric space from his haunts
in the Blue Grass country to Sault Ste. Marie a
few weeks since, and looked with dull eyes on
the newly finished engineering feat spread out be-
fore his astonished gaze, he would have been
forced to admit that his declaration back in 1910
was at least shortsighted.
ct is a work quite beyond the remotest settle
ment of the United States, If not in the moon"
said Henry Clay on that memorable occasion,
when by the power of his slver-tongued oratory
he influenced the congress of the United States to
defeat a measure by which a canal could be dug
around st. Mary's falls.
He was believed. and the project that now In
finished form ranks in world Importance far great
or than the SueZ canal, and In some minds greater
tbon the Panama canal, was condemned as i'm
~practical. 1t was not until II years later that
congress saw its mistake and yielded 20 the per-
suasion of influential citizens of Michigan and
New York to grant an appropriate n of land
whereby the state Of Michigan could finance the
excavation of a canal. Paul ChandlG- in Detroit
