Lack Of Funds at .. Of Iirginia
Causes Shortage Of Doctors

Charlottesville, Va. Feb. al
The problem OF the serious shortage
OF physicians In virginia. particu-
larly In the rural districts OF the
State, has interested medical author
tiles at the University OF Virginia
DR.. Theodore Hough. dean Of the
medical department. made some In
teresting comments on the question,
particularly as regards its solution
and the relation of the University
of Virginia Medical School to the
problem.
DIR. Hough pointed out that 81
was not any lack of clinical ma
terial at Charlottesville which pre-
vented the medical school from
graduating q larger class. but that
1t was the limited appropriation for
laboratories for the frst two years
work in the medical school which
has made IL necessary for the Uni.
versity OF Virginia to limit the first.
year medical class to thirty-six stu
dents.
Doctors Prefer Cities.
The shortage of physicians in tha
country districts OF the State is
attributed by him fundamentally 20
a natural preference of large num-
Der OF graduates for a city proc
tice. According TO DIR. Hough, pre-
vious to 1905 the medical schools
OF the country were graduating per-
hsps twice as many physicians as
IL could support and with the pref
erence OF these men for a city prac-
tice, the natural result was that
economic necessity drove many OF
them TO the country. At this time
the medical schools were receiving
far more students than they could
properly train, The supply OF doc
tors was adequate in number. but
these doctors were not adequately
trained.
Since 1906. stated DR.. Hough. higher
standards Of admission and more
thorough discipline Of medical schools
resulted in the reduction Of graduates
through the country in 1918 to about
one-half the number graduated In

Calls Brander Matthews
Statement Undue Alarm

Selden Marvin Ely, historian, or
the District Society of the Sons of
the American Revolution. in his an
nual report to be read at the meet
ing of the society at Rauscher's at
noon today, declares undue alarm
has been felt in some quarters over
the declaration of Brander Mat
thews that the Constitution and the
United States government could be
changed by 5000 men, composing
the legislative and eecutive branches,
Of the government.
Ely points to the fact that only
fifty-five delegates gathered at
Philadelphia in 1877 to organize the
Colonies into the United States. and
that the Constitution they drew up
only had forty signatures.
There was no cause for alarm in
this, because their work had to be
approved by a much greater num-
her. who were also representatives
of the people" says the historian.

Hens Feed Affects Flavor
And Color of Egg Yolks

In extreme cases the flavor and
odor Of the feed have been impaired
to the egg. Onions have been fed
in sufficient quantity to bring about
this effect Those who desire to
produce a first class article should
not give feeds OF high and objec-
tionable flavor to their focks.
In no case should tainted feed be
al! lowed to enter the radon. Feed
also has an influence on the color
OF the yolk. Corn fed exclusively
viii give a deep yellow or highly
colored yolk, while wheat fed alone
vii! produce a much lighter yolk.
A fairly high colored yolk is usual
ly preferred and can usually be OBJ
tanned by feeding moderate
amount OF corn. Plenty OF green
feed also cnriches the color of the
yolk.
