KINDNESS CARRIED roo FAR
Affection unwiseIy Bestowed Has
Given Birth TO Saying That
Has Become Famous.

Kindness brought TO the point of
embarrassment or even harm leads us
to say that the recipient has been
"kilied by kindness"
This phrase has been variously ex,

origin back 10 the days before Christ
= Ancient history tells us OF the death
of Draco. the great Grecian legislator,
and his ancient code of laws" He
died In 500 b. @. In this extraordinary
manner:
Draco made an address In one OF the
great theaters In his native city. He
was so beloved by his people and they
were so eager to give him tangible
demonstration of their devotion that
they took their cloaks and other gar
ments from their own shoulders and
threw them on him as gifts.
The trouble was that In their wild
enthusiasm they aimed so well that
poor Draco finally succumbed under
the weight and when the mountain of
clothing was removed from him il was
found that the old gentleman had
breathed his last.
According to one authority. however,
KILLED by Kindness is a phrase used
because of the fact that certain mother
apes are so fond of their young that
they clutch them so tightly as to
smother them to death against their
bodies. -Cleveland Plain Dealer.

UNITED STATES NOW LEADER


World leadership In medicine and
surgery. no longer is In Europe, but
has been transferred to the United
States, as one Of the results Of war,
20 DIR. George w. Grille Of Cleveland
stated In his address to the American
College Of Surgeons In convention at
st. Louis recently, says the Ohio State
Journal. This country made enor-
nous contributions In all branches Of
medicine and surgery during the war,
he pointed out. being particularly well
equipped to render that important
service because Of the research and
development work that have been 90
conspicuous In the field Of scientific
medicine here during the last quarter
Of q century. *
9 With the end of the war European
nations are. exhausted and have lin
tied resources and little of spirit to
60 ahead with that important work,
while this country has resources with.
out limit and spirit equal to the op-
portunity. Europe ID all topsy turvy,
its famous old medical schools are
shaken, its great hospitals are ex-
hausted, its professional life shocked
and wearied. Doctor Grille states the
situation with marked distinctness
when he says: THE torch, all but
gone out. has been handed us because
We alone are left the means to light
the way" It was his thought that the
medical schools and research institu-
tons of the land be. supplied with
every resource, their work broadened
and requirements raised, that the
World war opportunity may be devel-
oped and the problems of the future
met successfully.
