HURL NEW CHARGES
AT CHIROPRACTORS
Medical Society Tells of Hardy
Young Men Transformed
Into Human Wrecks.

The Medical Society of the County of
New York in keeping up its fight
against the bill introduced in the Legis-
lature by Senator John j. Dunnigan Of
The Bronx designed to license chiro-
practors made public yesterday more Of
practic schools of the city. This in
vestigation was directed by George w.
Whiteside. of counsel for the society.
The activities of the Medical Society
against the chiropractors have brought
the New York State Chiropractic So
ciety into the field in open opposition.
This organization. replying to the
charges of the regular practitioners, de-
clares that the proposed legislation
specifically prohibits chiropractors frorn
prescribing drugs or practicing surgeiA
adding that the doctors seek to control
all branches of the healing art.
"They fought" say the ehiropractors.
Ito control homeopathy. osteopathy
and Christian Science, and lost each
time"
The report Of the investigation of the
medical men into the chiropractic
schools of the city purports to give the
record of specific cases where pa
tients.' after being medically examined
by well known orthopedic and X-ray
specialists and found to be normal,
were then sent to the chiropractic in
stitutions. where, examined by students,
they were found to be victims of spinal
subuxations' and twists of the ver-
tebrae." The price of treatment, ac-
cording to the report. varied according
to whether the patient" was handled
at public clinic by students or was
more exclusively entertained by a men,
Der of the faculty"
"The results Of the investigation" says
the report, SHOW conclusively that
chiropractic Adjustments do not 'ad-
just and that the entire chiropractio
theory is baseless." The report adds
"Chiropractic clinics were visited by
a half dozen unusually healthy and
hardy young men who posed as patients
suffering from various diseases All had
been examined first by orthopedic and
X-ray specialists of the highest rank
and pronounced absolutely normal In
every particular. Special attention was
given to their spines and every vertebra
was found to be in complete alignment.
"On being inspected by professors
and pupilr of the chiropractic clinics.
however. all manner of subluXations or
spinal twists were discovered in their
backbones. They were jabbed and
prodded until several were too sore to
continue the treatment any longer"

Gently returned from Russia. after

The Relief Administration was surprised
at the popularity accorded the maize
On corn grit days" Mr.. Gregg said,
children literally swarmed the feeding
kitchens.
The Relief Administration. according
to Mr.. Gregg, is speedily carrying relief
to the starving people of Russia. 1t was
pointed out that since President Harding

DIR. ANGELL ASSAILS
HIGH FEES AT YALE
Graduates Back for Alumni
Day Hear Appeal for Help
to Students.

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERALD
NEW HAVEN. Feb. 22.--Graduates from
all parts Of the country returned to Yale
to- day for the ninth annual alumni uni
versity day and inspected the first steps
in Yale's $50, 900, 900 building program.
The majority of them met for the first
time the new president DR.. James X.
Angell
DR.. Angel pictured Yale to t." grad
yates as SCARED by the war ana sur
rounded by new and battling problems,
but undefeated and struggling to obtain
firm footing that 1t might forge once
more ahead and make up the lost ground
and advance still further. He con-
tinuej:
"It is the general opinion that the
reorganization re plan is working out ad-
mirably and that it has done many
splendid things. There is still much to
be done and faults to be corrected, but
The plan has passed the experimental
stage.
eve must develop an adequate re-
sponse to the demands created by the
aftermath of war. This is problem
that is facing every university in the
country, and VIC must find some way OF
meeting it. Yale suffered a great deal
from the effects of the war and lost
that we must recover.
I'VE must find way to respond to
the demands of the ablest class Of stu
dents, for many of whom the economic
problem has become too great. We must
find some means of caring for those
who are unable to pay their way. We
have raised our fees until we now hold
the unenviable record Of ranking with
the Massachusetts Institute in having
the highest fees in the country.
"One OF the solutions of this problem
is, Of course, scholarships, but i am
not sure that that is the only answer
to the problem. We have never had
any fixed rate of fees. 1t has also been
the custom to charge all that II was
felt that traffic would bear. until at
present the students are obliged to pay
one-third of what it costs to give them
an education.
But we must adjust the university
to meet the new conditions OF changed
world, for it is a new world, and we
must bring ii up to the high standard
and place that it has always held. We
must catch up on the damage done by
the war, and 1t is up to you to help it.
We have the ideas to regain our place
and we need the help Of the gradu-
ates."
