TOR the part he played as secretary of

controversy emanating from Irish affairs
n March of that year brought about See

Grade Crossing Smashes.
(St. Adams Messenger.)


1t is announced that Secretary of
State Black is going to use his infiu-
ence and powers to lessen the number
of grade crossing automobile accidents.
For a long time the popular mind con-
demned the railroads whenever such an
accident occurred, but there has been a
considerable changing of mind in re-
cent years, brought about in the first
instance by the action of the New
Hampshire public service commission
which bluntly announced that in the
great percentage of instances the fault
was with autoists and not with the
railroads.
This is the literal truth. There is
little reason for an automobile acct
dent, even on the so-called "blnd
crossings" If autoists would exercise
little care and precaution the stats
tics of this kind of smash would
practically disappear. 1t takes only a
second or two to make certain that
there is no approaching train, and a
second or two never has been more inn
portant than life itself But so long
as autoists will insist upon racing with

PHYSICIANS IN VERMONT.

DR. H. C. Tinkham, dean of the Col
lege of Medicine of the University of
Vermont, in an interview calls atten-
tion to the necessity of providing the
rural sections of Vermont with proper
medical attendance and facilities. He
believes the establishment of small hos
pitfalls at different points throughout the
state might bring some relief as ma
ternity eases might be cared for there
and doctors relieved of long drives and
exhausting vigils. Another relief could
be had by the employment of more
trained nurses who could attend the
patient during the Doctors absence, re-
lieve him from the necessity of making
daily visits and allow him to divide his
fields into sections to be visited once
in two or three days.
Dr. Tinkham says there is no better
opening for doctor than in the rural
sections of the state as many of the
rural communities will start a young
doctor in about all the practice he
wants and prove a lucrative field If
the doctor is of the right make up he
soon becomes one OF the leading citi-
zens of the community. He adds that
the tendency with DOCTORS, as with
everybody else, during the past few
years has been toward the cities.
That there is a tendency to the larger
centers in the state is indicated by the
fact that IS of the 80 practieing ply
sicians of Windham county are To-
Gated in Brattleboro and Rockingham,
the two largest towns of the county. In
only two other towns, Londonderry and
Wilmington, are there more than one
physician. while in 10 towns of the
county, with a total population of g.,
100, there is no physician. Undoubt-
eddy the location of hospitals at Brat
tleboro and Bellows Falls is an at
traction to physicians In the whole
county there is one physician to every
rs people, in Brattleboro one to every
All and in Rockingham one to every
81. This would indicate a larger field
for the physician in the rural sections,
although the physicians of Brattleboro
and Bellows Falls have a large prac-
tice in surrounding towns. They also
have the privilege of bringing patients
to the local hospitals for treatment.
We doubt somewhat if more hospi-
tails in the smaller towns would solve
the problem of country doctors so sat
isfactorily as the employment of more
trained nurses. A hospital large enough
to serve a community during an cpl
demic would be too expensive to con
struct or maintain after it was built.
A trained nurse would not be so expen-
sive and, if properly trained, she could
give the patient almost as effective
treatment as the average physician.

WAR VICTIMS IN HOSPITALS.
About 100000 Under Government
Care and Number Is Increasing.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The mum
her of World war veterans still under
government hospital care is now about
$4,000 and is increasing at the rate of
900 a month. The spectacle of the
number of war patients increasing so
long after the war is over is due to the
fact that the war department turned
loose men who were suffering from
mental and physical Affections at the
time of their discharge and were not
completely cured.
These Affections have returned to the
men during the strain of civilian life
and they have returned to government
care.
About third of the men now in
hospitals are suffering from tubercu-
losis, one third from mental diseases
and the other third from variety of
ailments which necessitate hospital
treatment.

We hear much these days about - the

fact is the farmer is not going to raise
larger crops for the very good reason
he cannot. He will have to work early
and late to gather what crops he has
been able to put in, for with the short
age of farm labor and excessive wages
about all a farmer can produce is what
he IS able to do himself, consequently
