Landscape Architects Work.

Garden planting is the final proc
ess in creating a finished home pic
ture. The landscape architect and
engineer not only has colors ut mis-
disposal similar to the landscape
painter; he also has plant materials,
varying greatly in form, size, tex
ture and habit. With the color Of
flowers and the bloom Of trees and
shrubs and their myriad shades Of
green foliagej he paints a garden OF
moods, thinking always Of unified
compositions, pictures in which each
motif makes up one movement Of
harmonious whole. With the CO.
operation of nature, always kind,
patient and sympathetic when under
stood, he "aims at order and hopes

bumped him up against hitching

hose around the pest In such way
as to encircle the feet of the man.
The cOwpuncher drew the hose
tight, slipped the nozzle through the
iron ring, and caught the Tapping arms
of the man to his body. With the deft
skill Of trained roper Clay swung the
rubber pipe round the body Of the man
again and again. drawing it close to

Sympathy, in the mind of a Los
Angeles man, was the biggest thing
in life. SO when he became convinced
that he was not getting it from mem
bers of his family, according to a bill
for divorce fled by his wife, he read
his last will and dashed into the next
room. Then, the bill states, there was
a shot and he staggered back into the
room and fell to the floor, his head
stained red. A physician who re-
sponded found the red was caused by

cooperating with our health officer to make it the most potent health de- partment of any state in the union.
 Our state health officer claims that he could /use an appropriation of $1,- 500,00O. with great profit to the state. if sufficient sanitarians were avail able to put In the work. Money spent in health work brings larger returns than when invested in any other legi- innate enterprise.
 The cost to this state of sickness and death due to preventable disases, must be considerably more than S50,- 100000 year.
 Presidents Recommendation
 The plan of directing the activities of the health department through the various bureaus, with the help and cooperation of the United States pub lie health service and the information al health board has accomplished so much in improving conditions of the state, that it is recommended that the medical association of the state of Alabama heartily indorse this plan, and pledge it's earnest support to our health officer, in his untiring efforts to make our health department the most efficient one in the country
 It Is recommended that t-e medical practice act be amended as ro1lows:
 Add to section 1887, as the eighth cause for revocation of license, Con viction in the courts of violation of the federal narcotic law" Add on page 73 of the public health laws at the end of the list for other causes for revocation of license, "The viola tion of the federal narcotic law"
 At the bottom of page 73, change verbiage to Appeal may be taken to the supreme court.'
 The course of study required of medical students for graduation is long and includes so many subjects, that after graduation, it has been quite time since they completed their studies in the preliminary branches; in view of these facts it Is recommended that the state board of medical examiners modify it's rules in such way as to permit students who have completed their second year to come before the board for examina- tion in the preliminary branches which they have finished.
 St is growing more difficult every year to prevent illegal practitioners of medicine from imposing on the public. It is recommended that the state board of censors take such steps as may be necessary to have the med ical practice act modified in such way as to render it effective in the pro- hjbltion of illegal practice.
 There are only few counties in our state financially able to main- tain a charity hospital consequently there Is an urgent needt among the indigent of the state, of hospital care and treatment. It is recommended that the state board of censors take under advisement the desirability of establishing a large state hospital
The Birmingham age-herald., 1922-04-19

and if the idea is considered feasible. to formulate plans by which such a movement may be started and carried to it's consummation.
 Tribute to Gorgas
 Of comparatively recent date. the Grim Reaper Death has robbed. not Alabama, not the United States but the whole world of one of it's most valuable citizens and greatest sani- tarians He was a benefactor of the human race. Even if he were not a Native Son of our state his memory should be honored.
 It Is recommended that our state health officer inaugurate move ment to erect a bronze bust of Gen. W. C. Gorgas in front of the build ing of the state board of health.
 We should not permit the passing years to blot from memory that grand old man who, for more than 40 years, stood with drawn sword to de- fend and protect the honor and integ- rity of our organization. During the many years of poverty and distress of our health department, he worked day in and day out, and far into the nights to further its interests, and never once stopped to think of any financial gain for himself.
 While the appropriation was small, he declined a proffered raise in his meager salary, because he needed the money with which to do health work. Such sacrifice of self-interest and such devotion to duty are worthy of an everlasting monument
 It is recommended that a bronze bust of Dr. w. H. Sanders be erected in front of the building of the state board of health, and that his suc- cessor, pr. s. w. Welch, be author ized to devise ways and means for it's accomplishment.
 A forceful writer once said: '"The commands thou shalt and thou shalt not are scorpion whips that goad the | sons of men to mutiny.' Many of the most humble and worthy members of our association never expect to be president of the organization, and yet their humiliation and resentment of being told Thou Shalt not be Pres idents" is evident.
 It is a laudable ambition for man in every walk of life to reach the top rung of the ladder. and no obstacle should be thrown in his path to pre- vent it.
 For the sake of justice and har- mony, it is recommended that the Me- Adory resolutions be adopted When the privilege to hold office is given to every member in good standing for five years, it should re- move the last thorn from the flesh of those who have opposed our or ganization. Then we will have com pletely passed through stormy night, to witness a brilliant sunrise for the future of the medical asso- citation of the state of Alabama. |

The story thus far:


 Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer, her little butterfly friend, who has made the trip from London to join her husband at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the trip with them. Camille has in her possession a valuable ring which she has accepted, as security for loan, from Reggie Van Tuyl, young man about town always in financial difficulties. On shipboard and in South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her on the lawn after dinner at Lady Kilmornys at Durban. Camille one night thinks she sees Reggie's face behind the hedge. Elliot sees her push through the hedge to investigate and thinks she is meeting Reggie and is hurt. However. they make matters up later on and then start on a motor ride through the Valley of a sThousand Hills. to the home of a widower, friend of Elliot's.
 Just as they are about to go into dinner that night a late guesst, who is to be Camille's partner, arrives. It is Reggie Van Tuyl.
