REFLECTIONS OF A
BACHELOR GIRL
By Helen Rowland
"Bv-the-Sad- Sea- Waves"

This is the dangerous time OF year, when a
mans commonsense begins "miSSng" and his
imagination runs "on high
When the sound of the sad sea waves and
all the music of the spheres are drowned in
whispered "sweet nothi1gS."
When a girl is so apt to mistake the moon
light in a mans eyes for the lovelight.
When the cynic gives up inventing theories
about love and begins to acquire working
knowledge of the tender passion.
When the shalower mans love, the more
it bubbles over into eloquence and demonStra-
ton.
When marriage ceases to look like lottery,
trap, a habit or prelude to almony-and
begins to look like beautiful vision.
When permanent wave is more to be de-
sired than great riches, and a blush on the
cheek is worth two in the vanity case.
When the summer girl discovers what the
psychologist meant, when he said that "a
kiss is a material capitalization of an ethereal
emoton-a physiological demonstration of a
psychological condtion'-and all that
When fat man can find plenty of dancing
partners.
When the average mans heart changes its
tenant almost as often as room in a transient
hotel.
When the piazza brigade see lot of things
through the dropped stitches in their knitting;
and pink zephyr and blue wool are not the
only kind of yarns in which they revel.
When filtration becomes duel in which
you cross lies, signs, and eyes-and the coolest
| heart wins.
When a perfectly contented husband and
wife sit together in the moonlight and wonder
why they ever thought marriage was thrilling
When the speediest ship on the ocean is a
yachting court-shp!

SPECIALISTS Fees
DICTUM by the Board of Trustees

D1CTUM by the Board of trustees OF
a Johns Hopkins hospital, fixing the
maximum fees that may be eXacted
by famous specialists practicing in the re-
nowned institution, for operations and medi-
cal attention, invites attention to subject
of general interest throughout the country
The charges of specialists for their services
have provoked never-ending discussion, and
on occasions have subjected celebrated prac-
titioners to criticism as profiteers.
The fact that the Trustees of one of the
greatest hospitals in the United States has
taken official cognizance of the charges ex-
acted by members of it's medical staff would
seem to justify the complaints that have been
mounting higher and higher because of al
legged excessive fees in certain instances
But whatever the motive actuatlng Hop
kins Trustees may have been their dictum
regulating charges for surgical and medical
services by the members of the hospitals
staff will be regarded as fixing upset fees
for the services of specialists that will be re-
Elected in all parts of the country.
The Hopkins Trustees in their dictum to
the members of the hospitals staff declare
that the maximum fee that any surgeon may
charge for operation, from any person
rich or poor-s all not exceed 81 900. That
is d lot of money but small as compared to
some of the fabulous fees that surgeons are
reputed to have received.
The same order of the Trustees prescribed
$35 per week as the maximum charge that
any physician may receive for attending pat
tients in the hospital. That is at the rate
of SIS per visit, assuming, of course, the pa
tient is visited iaily-and this seems fair
assumption for a patient confined in bed at
q hospital.
1.-The ruling" we learn from the Baltimore
Sun, was issued after long consideration OF
all the conditions surrounding physicians and
surgeons, the cost of living, scale on which
physicians and surgeon are required to live
and the like In it many eminent scientists
at the hospital concurred.
This continues the Sun, twas the insti-
tution's answer that the Zig specialists were
charging all that the traffic would bear.
They may do it outside, but it cannot be done
hencefOrth in tie Johns Hopkins hospital
The Sun adds that the suggestion that
eminent specialists may direct their wealthy
patients to institutions other than Johns
Hopkins is not seriously regarded by the
Trustees Oh The hospital. 1t is pointed out
that such an attempt would subject them to
the suspicion at least of intending to exact
excessive fees.

Motor Cars as Common Gar.
r7erS

~ VEN if their business has suffered dur
r. ing the period of depression, the auto
mobile men of the country should find
a crumb of comfort in recent decision OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission author
ling the discontinuance of service on two
branch lines of the Bosom and Maine rail-
road. The Commission recognizes what the
railroad confesses, namely, that the automo-
bile has made it both Improbable and unnec-
essary for the Boston and Maine to continue
the operation of a couple OF it's White Noun
tain extensions
The branch Ines involved in the Commits
sion's order are inconsequental in them
selves, yet there was time wien their eX-
tstence was --ital to the public, and time,
we doubt not, when the Boston and Maine
regarded them as essential. The line from
Cherry Mountain to Coos is only three and
one-half miles long, but before the advent
of the auton- obile it afforded access to a
summer hotel that was we'll patronized. The
branch from Bethlehem Junction to Profile
House covered a distance of nine miles, and
1t, too, served summer resort.
In applying for authority to abandon these
extensions the boston and Maine showed the
Commerce Commission that the line from
Cherry Mountain to Coos has averaged only
three passengers to a train, and its annual
receipts have amounte1 to onIy $50; con-
corning the branch from Bethlehem Junction
to Profile House, the ra;lrcad company
showed that it has averaged only two pas
sengers to train and its revenues in 1920
we're only $1,715, against cost of operation
of $12,94O.
The fact that the Commission has author
lied the discOntnuance of these branches be-
cause their earnings have fallen away to
nothing does not mean that similar policy
will be followed with respect to all railroads
throughout the country. But it does meal
that in these particular instances the Com
mission realizes that the public necessity for
rail transportation has been thoroughly
and completely supplanted by the automobile
that the enforced continuance Of the branches
works an unnecessary hardship on the great
rail system of which they are party.
AS the Boston Transcript observes, in com
menting the discontinuance Of these
branches, what the motor has done in
the White fountains it is altogether likely
to do elsewhere. With the improvements oil
the highways it may be that the passenger
automobile d the truck will force Other
branch railroads out of business. The time
may come when in numerous instances Il
cannot be shown that public necessity anc
convenience demand their further operation
The time has come when the railroads o.
the country must recognize the passenger
automobile and the motor truck competi
tors. They are here to stay, and as the

Except for improvement in Argentina,
South American business, conditions were pic
tured as depressed during July in the reports
of economic conditions from it's trade repre-
sentatives made public by the bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. Foreign compe-
tition to American commercial activity was
reported strong, particularly from the Ger
mans and Belgians. Prices ranging from 20
per cent to rs per cent less than those ON
American commodities were being quoted, it
was9said, and numbers of American concerns
were closing their South American offices.

Air Safety

Aroused by accidents to army airmen and
civilians in two months, Secretary of War
Weeks has issued rigid rules governing all
flying over cities, towns and other built-up
districts The rules prohibit "stunt" flying.
Except in taking off and climbing imme-
diately thereafter, or in landing OF the heav.
ier-than-air type, army aviators are prohib.
tied from flying at lower altitude than 1 900
feet. Lighter-than-air types of airships,
which include free balloons and blimps, must
be at minimum altitude of 400 feet.
While the regulations apply only to army
aircraft, similar restrictions expected to
be issued by other government departments
navigating the air.
