Let Save" Who Will.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
1t does seem a pity that some folks
have nothing better to do than to
perpetually annoy others. Why not
let the established order alone. For
instance, this so-called daylight
saving matter? / shall never for
get the discomfort of the summer
when We had that in force; but IL
was called a war measure, and so
we tried to bear il patiently; but
now there is no excuse for il. have
to rise at to get to work in time
and l know lots of people who must
rise at $50. and do. That is early
enough in all conscience. Why rob
US of the best hour in the twenty
four for quiet sleep? Why send US
TO bed in the heat? Why turn US
loose in the hottest part of the aft
ernoon? Surely $3.50 Is early enough
to stop work. We are more COM
Portable working at $3.50 than rid
ing around in crowded street cars.
Why should the whole city be
thrown out Of gear so that the
players can spend more time in
play? Let them get up as early as
they please. but for Heavens sake,
let the workers alone.

PICTURE IN LOUVRE
GENUINE DA WINCH

Artists and friends Of the Louvre
museum may reassure themselves.
The original OF Leonardo da Vim
CTS painting. La Belle Ferronni-
ere" hangs in the museum, and is
not in America. This on the au-
thority of D'Estournelles de Con-
slant, director of national muse
ums.
This is an old story" said the
director. TT is not the first time
that the authenticity of our mag
terpieces has been questioned by
foreign collectors. There seems to
be no way of putting q stop to the
habit.
The painting entered among our
collections under the title Of La
Belle Ferronniere' was certainly
from the brush Of Leonardo dS
vinci himself. It was among the
art treasures OF Francis /, and, in
isf2. Pere Dan, the kings minister
of finances, identified IL as the por-
trait of the Duchess Of Mantuz.
Certain historians, on the other
hand, have maintained that IL was
that Of Lucrezia Orwell. 1t is gen.
orally conceded today that the pic
ture represents La Belle Ferronni-
ere. one of Francis rs favorites.
Whoever II may represent, how
ever. the painting had always hung
in the private apartments of the
king until IL was transferred to
the Louvre. Its authenticity might
possibly have been questioned had
II been stolen at any time. But
no such misadventure ever occurred
to t."
The Washington herald., 1922-03-16

cites were undeveloped In those days the coun-
try physician might have been, and was, as COM
potent, generally speaking. his brother practi-
toner of the city.
"Now. however, it is vastly different. The test
tube, microscope, the X-ray, with highly developed
methods of diagnosis and clinical procedure, all have
come into daily use. Now, it is seen, the physician
needs library which he cannot furnish; labora-
toryi which he cannot build, and an equipment be-
yond his power to provide He also needs con-
tact with fellow members of his profession, and
immediate touch with the developments of medical
science.
"All these needs met by the modern hospi-
tai; the hospitals have been built up to over
wheming extent in the cities, it is to the cities
that the doctors, ambitious to progress, have made
their way. recent survey conducted by commits
sion of the American Medical Association showed
that of the 1927 counties in the States, 1895 or
more than one-half had no hospitals whatever, and
about 900 additional counties had hospitals of less
than twenty-five beds, which fact places them prac-
tically in the larger class without such facilities.
THE most obvious way, therefore, to start a
back to the farm movement among physicians is
to provide a reasonable number of hospitals and
health centers in the small towns and country dis
tricts. 1t is hardly feasible for villages and rural
districts to attempt the subsidizaton of doctors,
New England towns actually have done re-
Gently or contemplated doing. County and small
town hospitals have been built, and are being built
in good number of places and they have served
various purposes well.
These hospitals not only have served to hold
draw physicians of competence, but they have
aided greatly the communities in matters of public
health, have demonstrated that they can be made
profitable business ventures and have helped to ad-
the medical profession generally by increas-
ing the from which reliable health statistics
may be gathered. In the absence of the rural hos
pal and other aduncts of modern medical practice,
there is an open field for the quack and the incom-
potent Along with better schools, good roads and
churches the country district should possess well
trained physicians and other modern health facil-
ties"
