Lorenz as a Lawbreaker.

What would Americans have
thought if. when Mr.. Hoover went to
feed the Belgians. the Belgians re-
fused to let him administer because
he had no grocer's license?
What would Americans think if
THOMAS A. EDISON went to London,
Paris or Vienna to demonstrate some
wonderful invention and was kept
from showing it because he was not
licensed under the laws of those coun-
tries as an electrician?
Americans would say, Of course,
that Europe was still in the darkness
Of the Dark Ages. But what the State
of New York is doing now is just as
ridiculous as the hypothetical cases
cited.
DR.. ADoLE LoRENz is not permitted
to operate in this State because he
does not possess New York State
license. Solemnly and officially the
State Board of Education, which con-
trolls medical licenses, has notified
the famous physician that he is with
out the law.
DR.. LoRENZ, until he heard from
Albany, was doubtless unaware Of
the statute which makes him a
wrongdoer. But he patiently applied
for q license. From Albany, how
ever, comes no hope that the applica-
tion will be acted upon until Decem-
ber 20, when the State Board of Re-
gents meets. There is no such thing,
evidently, as temporary permit
which would allow DR.. LoRENz to go
on with his work.
A State bureau less afflicted with
stupidity or something worse would
have arranged, before Dr.. LoBENz's s
arrival in this country, for this ur-
gently necessary license. 1t might we'll
have had the license at the pier on a
silver platter.
But no! A bureaucrat knows nei-
ther gratitude nor common sense.
So the State Board of Education
takes on the official "who is this
LoRENz?" attitude.
Any bureaucrat. or any jealous doc
tor, will find the name of ADOLF
LoRENZ in any good encyclopedia or
any medical dictionary. AS every
body except the bureaucrats knows,
LoBENz has been famous for thirty
years for the hip Joint operation
which bears his name. His work was
long ago crowned throughout the
world as new and very valuable
principle in surgery. Twenty years
ago American medicine hailed
LoErNz's method as the greatest medi-
cal achievement OF that day, next to
the conquest of yellow fever.
or course DR.. LoRENz cannot be ex-
pected to cool his heels at a bureau
door until December 80. If he goes
hcme now, leaving undone the many
things he so nobly planned to do while
here, certainly he cannot be blamed.
Official stiffnecks will be the cause of
his departure.
What does the Board of Regents,
which has in its membership such
live Americans as CHESTER S. LoRD,
CHARLES 3. ALEXANDER, JAMES BYRNE
and ADELBERT Moor, think about the
action of their underiings in the
Board of Education?

The Spider.

There is n spider in my head
Sits spinning filmy strands
Long threads of fancy floating free
Are caught In distant lands.
And airy cables cross the gulf
To sun and moon afar.
Or drift in spaces infinite
TO anchor on a star
The fllaments are white or gray
Or colored like the bow
That with its watery jewels spans
The dripping earth below.
Tentatively they often reach
Around the world to find
AND touch an instant flittingly
Some sympathetic mind.
They sometimes break and aimlessly
Go futtering about.
And frequently they tangle up
And must be Strengthened out.
But night and day in work or play
Or weariness or pain.
Behold the tireless spider Thought
Sits spinning in my brain.

For Crippled Children.
$1,000 Required TO Carry Little
Patients From Home to Clinic.

To THE NEW York HERALD: To the
organization or individual interested IN
the welfare of cripples Il is gratifying to
read Dr. Copeland's statement concern
ing the skill of American orthopedic
surgeons and the many clinics of this
city where without charge those unable
to pay may have the benefit of their ex-
pert treatment and advice. But With
the public interest directed toward Grip
pies Il seems timely to mention one need
sometimes overlooked-namcly, trans
portation to the clinics for the help
less child
A bridge was spanned across this
need in 1916, when, following the epi-
demic Of infantile paralysis. the city
provided transportation to and from
clinics until September. 1920. Then
suddenly the bridge fell, transportation
was discontinued and those children un-
able to go TO clinics were deprived Of
treatment.
The need was recognized. but it
seemed to be nobody's job and nobody
did il until in April. 1921, the Associa-
ton for the Aid OF Crippled Children
assumed this responsibility. and II has
been transporting TO the fullest capacity
Of one hired automobile those children
of Manhattan and The Bronx unable 10
go by any. other means
Tut the associations fund.- like the
old year. will pass out on January J..
leaving the gap as before. and the ques-
ton comes up. Is it again to be nobody's
Job. or will the public by its financial
support aid the association to continue
this form Of transportation until tho
city. as in 1916. recognizes It as its job?
A fund OF $4,000 is required to carry
on the work in 1922. Cripples are not
cured in a day. It is only the continu-
GUS treatment and closest follow up care
or many years that changes crippled
children into normal ones.

The cold spell and severe storm in
this section has caused the people
to stop, and think, as the fruit in this
section seems to be nearly all killed.
Frank D. Satterfield of Greenwood
and Elizabeth Housman of Milford,
were quietly married at Rev. W. G..
Benson, on Easter evening. They will
reside at Shawnee, near Milford, on
small farm.
Alex Jones and wife have returned
home after a vacation over Easter.
They were in Media and Chester, Pa,
also Guyencourt and Wilmington.
Mrs. Elizabeth Long is visiting her
daughter in Milford. Neck.
Miss Mable Barwick who has been
visiting in Philadelphia and New Jer-
sey for two weeks has returned home
again.
Chester Cox has returned home af-
ter visiting his uncle in Chester, Pa.
Homer Jones who has been serious
ly i'll is slowly improving.
Mrs. R. e. Wiley has returned home
after spending Easter with friends in
Wilmington and Philadelphia.
Rachel Draper who has been so
very sick in Wilmington has greatly
improved. She came home and spent
Easter with her parents.
Shad are selling from so to 55 cents
apiece.
Horace Wiley was taken suddenly
ill last Tuesday morning, and the doc

COL. JAMES c. WEEKS OF
DOVER AT SID MILESTONE

Col. "Jim" Wickes (James c., to be
perfectly proper and polite) celebrated
his SD birthday last Sunday and
those who know him declare that he
has vastly improved with age as a
newspaper editor and publisher since
he started in the business 80 long
years ago.
The veteran Delaware editor has
been doing business at the same old
stand, with frequent improvements
to keep pace with the march of pro-
gress, for a quarter of a century. His
first five years in his chosen life work
were spent at Piedmont, Alabama,
where he doubtless acquired that de-
lightful southern drawl that is still a
characteristic of The man.
For fear that some who read this
may not know where he hangs his hat
every day, it is here stated that the
Delaware State News at Dover is not
only his accustomed daily haunt but
it is also his priced baby for he owns
that newspaper, one of the few good
weekly newspapers in Delaware.
The colonel is a member Of Will
mington Lodge of Elks.
He was born in Dover and with the
exception Of the time spent in the
South has resided there all his life.
