New Uses for Barley.

Barley, which was a staple and
profitable crop when it was employed
to supply malt for brewing, is now
being used in place of corn for feed
ing hogs. It's value for this purpose
is almost equal to that of corn.
Certain regions produce the va
riety known as bright barley. This
formerly brought higher price than
the darker grain, though there is no
appreciable difference in the nutri-
tive qualities of the two. Weather
at the harvesting time has much to
do with the color of barley, though
the soil also has its influence. The
brighter the barley, the better the
quality of its products, was the con-
tention of some experts.
The best method of feeding barley
to hogs is now the subject of re.
search on the part of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Experiments will be made with the
grain whole, rolled, dry and soaked.

Ejectment of Old John Doe.

John Barleycorn is legally dead and
now the life of that other classic
spirit, John Doe, is threatened. He
has been put out of the Supreme
Court of the United States. His dis
grace will be whispered in every
court where John has hung out. Grad
ually, we fear, there will be no work
for him except on warrants.
The Commonwealth of Massachu-
setts tried to use John Doe in the
Supreme Court as he was used for
many centuries in English and Amer
ican law. Seeking to quiet tftfe 60
certain land, the Commonwealth
lawyers followed the ancient form Of
giving an imaginary lease to the
equally imaginary John Doe and then
having John bring suit. 1t is not
stated whether Richard Roe was in
on the job, although in most of the
old proceedings Richard obtained
work from the lawyers in the capac-
ity of casual ejector.
When the title Of the case was read
to our highest court Justice VAN
DEvANTER inquired whether John Doe
was in court. He was not, except in
spirit. The grave Justices put their
heads together and presently Chief
Justice TAFT ordered John Doe out OF
court; that is, the legal fiction Of
John Doe.> for If a John Doe had
been there in flesh and blood he
might have been dealt with.
Massachusetts is not denied her day
in court, but the Chief Justice. or
dered her counsel to substitute a
modern equity proceeding. The main
thing, however, is that John Doe, af-
ter working several hundred years as
the fictitious lessee of the plaintiff in
the action of ejectment, has lost his
standing in the Supreme Court of the
United States. He will find tempo
rary employment, no doubt, in the
lesser houses of justice, but the thrill
of being an actor in the wonderfully
dignified little court room in Wash
ington is gone.
IL John Doe dies--and Chief JUS
tice TAFT suggested that it was about
time-Richard Roe will go with him.
Let them have corner in the Val
halla of those that never were. 1t is
pleasant to fancy Doe and Roe swap

with their literary cousins, Ibid and

The great thing is to know how to

Children and fairies play together

There are multitude of stories to
back up all these don'ts. They are
fine stories too. In fact, the Indians
have so many good fairy stories that
the wonder is somebody did not long
ago collect them and show the rest Of
the world what American fairy

Country Doctors Are Disappearing
The Shortage of Physicians in Rural Districts Serious
Problem for the State to Consider

ABSTRACT Of am address by Hermann NJ,
Health. at the annual convention
Women Voters. A
! wish to bring to your attention to-
day the increasing difficulties In the
prevention of sickness which are aris-
ing because of the lack OF medical SER
vice in rural communities. The ply
sicians are locating in the cities and
the rural districts are being more and
more deprived OF their service. One
half as many physicians are being grad
uated each year In the United States as
there were twenty years ago-in the
State of New York even fewer. For ex-
ample. thirty years ago. when was
graduated, about 700 physicians were
licensed in that year to practice in this
State. This year about 800 will be grad
uated in the whole State, and in the
meantime the population of the state
has increased 40 per cent. SO relatively
the number of physicians available Is
not more than one-third what 1t was
thirty years ago.
In the State Of New York there are
more than 1.400 municipalities. Out OF
these municipalities there are at the
present time about 250 that have no
physician. There are also very many
other municipalities In which there is no
physician who has been in practice less
than twenty-five years. Livingston
In many counties. \There were last year
fifty-four physicians in that county and
those physicians have been in practice
on an average nearly twenty-seven
years. The American Medical Associa-
tion in survey OF the whole United
States found the average period of prac-
tice Is little less than thirty years
Large numbers of our health officers
are men OF 65, 20. rs and some even
so years Of age. The average period OF
practice of >the health officers of the
State is twenty-eght years, which
means the average age of these men is
considerably over so years.
The Public Health Council, which has
the power of prescribing qualifications
for health officers, prescribed as one OF
its first regulations that no one should
be appointed health officer who was
over 65. but we find in large number
OF municipalities that the only physician
In the community Is over this age limit.
What is the significance of this? In
many OF these municipalities they have
now only these older men. and they are
gradually dying or retiring or going 70
cities, and as they retire or go away
the community is left without any ply
scian, for the young men will not Settle
in the rural districts. You cannot Won
der at this when you consider the fac
tors involved. A man who studies med
icine must be college graduate or
have had at least two years work In an
institution Of collegiate rank and then
have at least four years In a medical
school. After the medical school he
should have at least one and usually
two years in hospital; so. thus after
grad,.ation from high school, he has
eight or ten years Of study before him.
This preparation is expensive moreover,

a restaurant was baleful sound for
the chop house, When mere music
became too insipid, there entered the
cabaret. It's spirit was still more
at variance with the character OF the
chop house. Vaudeville and a grill
seemed altogether irreconcilable. No
body sought out a restaurant any
longer because it was restful and
quiet. So long as there was enough
excitement the food took place of
secondary Importance
Such a. mood on the part Of the
public was of course fatal to the
prosperity of the chop house. One
by one these resorts have been going.
The Studio, long a landmark on
lower Sixth avenue, gave way to a
business building of another charac-
ter, and with Eschbach's the last of
the Fourth avenue chop houses of the
classic period ended its existence.
ENGEL took over Clifton's, on West
Thirty-fifth street, and the establish
ment was later moved to Thirty
sixth street. Already one notable
change had been recognized. The
walters were no longer English or
Irish. They were likely to speak with
a trace of Continental accent. Then
the list of dishes was extended to hold
the fading loyalty of old patrons and
interest~the younger generation. But
with music and the cabarets the COM
petition was altogether too strong.
The old chop houses are passing out
of existence. or, retaining only their
names, are Offering the same menus
as the other eating places.

The Fall Of the Chop House.

Engel's was one Of the last OF a
long line of comfortable eating places
which had their beginning far back
sin the history OF New York restau-
rants. In the early sos the chop
house was a recognized resort OF the
men of Manhattan. It's hospitality
had not been extended in those days
to the other sex. There were some
who saw in that letting down OF the
bars which came little later the
most significant departure from the
traditions OF the early days.
There were articles of food other
than the chop which gave these
rlaces their name. Welsh rabbits,
poached eggs and bacon on toast and
ale, usually in the prevailing tobys
OF the period, we're the staple offer
ings Of the simple menus. Game was
obtainable at certain seasons and fish
was frequent attraction. But the
supper menu, which was the most
important, was generally made up Of
the simple articles mentioned.
These traditions Engel's carried on
longer than any other restaurant.
There are still chop houses. but as
a rule they differ little save in their
show OF simplicity from the average
restaurant. When Engeps came to an
end after its long existence its clos
ing was not altogether due to the
lack Of the liquid accompaniment to
its delcacies. There is little demand
among New Workers to-day for the
restaurant which offers merely good
food. Other attractions are expected
which are altogether at variance with
the traditions OF the chop house.

Limiting the Population.
Reasons for Exercising Greater care

The natural result. therefore, can only
be that the increase in population will

urgent causes OF war in the past. ana
it seems likely in the future to be the

Germany and Japan are the two coun-

her away from him.
The Man from the North holds the
European settlement and no Power or
combination of Powers can reestablish
Europe. But in the year 1925, then the
nations will send representatives to the
Man from the North. They will get in
struction from him how to reestablish
Europe and the balance of the world.

proposed because 1t is not possible to

to grant subsidies toward these rural
hospitals. We talk q great deal about
modern medicine but modern medicine

you because this problem of medical
service in rural communities is prob
lem which has to be met in the State
and we need very much the assistance
of the women Of the State in meeting 1t.
Not only medical service but nursing
service cannot be provided. People of
moderate means cannot meet the ex-
pense of it. Domestic servants are hard
to get in the country districts. and with
out physicians. without nurses and
without domestic servants. when you
have acute forms of disease. you have
a serious problem to deal with.
This question Is coming UP again In
the Legislature year after year until

which has an important bearing on
what can be done for the rural districts
in the reduction of general death rates
and the reduction of infant mortality.
IT is problem which ultimately must
