the opinions of DR.. Abraham Flexner
and Dr.. William H. WEIGH, who rem
dered reports to the commission on
Medical Education favoring the 10
cation of the consolidated state med

made by Dr.. Edwin A. Alderman,
president of the University Of Vlr-
GINA. in answer to recent comnuni-
cation of Mr.. Eppa Hunton of Rich
mond.
DR.. Alderman's letter to Mr.. Hun
ton follows:
July 80, 1921.
Hon. Eppa Hunton,
Richmond, Va.
Dear Mr.. Hunton:
NV attention has been called tt
your letter to DR.. Hugh H. Young, in
which you make the following state
ment "You may not know that Mr..
Fleyner and Dr.. Welch were not in
vited to appear before the Commits
sion on Medical Education in Virginia
until DR.. Alderman had interviewed
them and, of course, knew their opin-
ions and the Board invited them as
matter of courtesy and did not call
other experts"

statement that l had no communica-

Welch was invited on the suggestion
OF Mr.. Flexner. ! had no intimation
what he would say to the Commits

AS to my part in bringing Mr. File
her before the Commission the fol
loving is a brief history of the whole
matters of educational policy. Later
on October 2, during the meeting at
the University, the Commission eN-
pressed itself as desiring the Cen
eral Education Board to make a sur
vey with recommendations, in orde~
to aid the Commission in its work. A
the meeting of October 2, on motion
of DR.. Mcclure, the Commission re
quested me to make special personal
efforts to secure action in this matter
by the General Education Board.
Later on in October by invitation Of
the Commission | took part in con-
ference in Richmond between the
Commission and Messrs. Butterick and
Fleyner, and urged them to undertake
the desired survey. l was greatly inn.

INDICATED CROP YIELD

According to the ,Contl-
mental and Commercial Ma
tional Bank, of Chicago, the
indicated crop yields Of 1921
are fairly encouraging. The
country will produce, it IS
estimated, about 3,OOO,0Oo,-
600 bushels of corn; 5,OO0,-
900 bushels of wheat; ll75,-
100000 bushels of oats; l6o,-
100000 bushels of barley;
65,0O0,OOO bushels of rye;
37O,0oO,000 bushels Of pota-
toes; 100000 tons Of hay;
and 100000 bales Of cotton.
In any calculation on the
business outlook of the
country, crops, of course, are
the primary basis on which
to build a sound reckoning.
AS indicated, the apparent
Yields of the great staples
for this year amply justify
the statement that the bust
Ness activity of the nation is
again resuming a healthy
and normal aspect. The
farmers, who compose the
greatest class of consumers,
will have a purchasing
power that will stimulate
production in manufactures,
and the Influence Of which
viii be felt in the remotest
hamlet. The other factors,
of prosperity, such as trans
portation, taxation, tariff,
governmental policies for
eign and domestic, are being
adjusted gradually, and by
the time the crops are ready
to market, will probably be
in actual process OF final
solution. On the whole, the
lnation has cause for self
graduation, and a survey OF
conditions in Europe and the
rest Of the world, only serves
to accentuate it. Here in
Alexandria the signs are
most encouraging. The mer-
chants are doing as much or
more business than a year
ago; our Wage-paylng lndrls-
tries seem to be in a pros
porous condition; and every
thing points to a thriving
year locally. The prospects
for the next Dollar Day cele-
bration in the city are unusu-
ally bright, and unless we
are mistaken many thous-
ands of dollars will find
their way into the channels
of trade on that suspicious
occasion. Alexandria has
two conspicuous notices
which she puts into practice:
''Do It Now; and, Boost,
don't Knock

were added the eleven years of re-
construction and military doniinatio
OF the South from 1866 to 1876, which
wer more disastrous than the war K

as the South did in 1865, and do less
begging than it is now doing.

with a blow torch in Tacoma gar
age. Officers called the Tacoma
garage over long distance telephone
and discovered that no man OF that
name had ever woked there.

taken TO the Centraiia jail.
