Joseph F. Marias, traffic manager In
the orient for the United States Ship

believe they can eliminate much for

do SO.
I'm 1857 France obtained conces-
sions in Yokohama from the Japanese
government which enabled French
merchants there to prosper exceeding
w." Marias explained. 'Then the
English. American and other nation
ais applied for and got similar con-
cessions, resulting in a considerable
portion Of the city's trade falling into
foreign hands.
But with the destruction Of the
city and transfer to Kobe of its ship
ping business the concessions lost
their value. This will not be rega1neo
unless the city can come back. And
this is what the Japanese Intend to
see does not happen. From now on =

ST. LOUIS, Mo. November 30.-The
action of the state board of health in
barring from state examination the
graduates of the three class c medi-
cal colleges of Missouri was charac-
terized today by DR.. Waldo Briggs,
dean of the st. Louis College of Ply
sicianS and Surgeons, one of these
three institutions as IAN effort on the
part of the American Medical Associa-
tion to lessen competition in the medi-
cal profession"
Competition would be lessened
Dean Briggs declared, in that this ac-
tfon would "debar from the practice
of medicine all those financially una
BILE to attend the colleges of the high
er classification"
~"The state board of health is en-
tfrely controlled by the American
Medical Association Dean Briggs
continued, "and the reported action of
the state board is a part of the Amer
lcan Medical Associations plan to add
to its already potent control of every
phase of the medical profession"
The other two colleges affected by
the ruling of the state health board
are the Kansas City College of
Medicine and Surgery and the Kansas
City University of Physicians and
Surgeons. These two and the St.
Louis School were termed mon -repu-
table" in the state health boards re-
port on the standing of medical col

HARTFORD, Conn, November 30
Photographs of physicians whose Ii
censes to practice in Connecticut are
revoked will be mailed to the exam
ining boards of every state in the
Union.
The public health council. it is an
nounced, plans this step in order to
prevent the men from reSuming prGc-
tice elsewhere. An extraordinary
grand jury, called as the result of
revelations that many physicians had
been licensed after presenting bogus
certificates of study of medicine, rec
commended to the examining board of
the Connecticut Eclectic Medical AS
sociation that the licenses of eighteen
men be revoked The board in turn
recommended the action of the public
health council, and the councils ac-
tiop today is expected to be the final
step in the matter, although the men
concerned have the right of appeal to
the courts.
The grand jury will resume its in
Guiry Monday. The eclectic examin-
ing board. one of three boards repre-
senting as many schools of medicine,
which are authorized by, statute to
license physicians, will be in session
a the same time to act on further

seemed wholly impossible to Linda
that Bruce could swerve aside In time
to avoid the blow. She cried out In
horror as the great paws whipped
down in the place where Bruce had

pared for this very recoil, and he had
sprung aside just as the claws raked
past.
And the Killer would hunt no more
in Trails End. At the end of that
leap he fell, his great body quivering
strangely in the snow. The lead had
aimed, and the charge itself had been
mostly muscular reflex. He lay still

was majestic even in death.

In the Second Of the Killers Lunges.
Bruce's eyes. At such times he could
tell how the fight was going by sound
alone-the snarls Of the Killer, the
wild oaths of Simon, the impact Of
the descending rife butt. Bruce gave
no thought of taking part Both were
enemies; his own strength seemed
gone. The cold deepened; Bruce
could feel 1t creeping into his blood,
halting its flow, threatening the spark
of life within him. The full light
Of day had come out upon the land.
Bruce knew the wilderness now. All
its primitive passions were in play, all
its mighty forces at grips. The storm
seemed to be trying to extinguish
these mortal lives; jealous of their in
trusion, longing for the world 1t knew
before living things came to dwell
upon It, when its winds swept end
lessly over an uninhabited earth, and
its winter SHOWS lay trackless and It's
rule was supreme And beneath 1t,
blind to the knowledge that in union
alone lay strength to oppose It's might
to oppose all those cruel forces that
make battle-ground of life-man and
beast fought their battle to the death.
Linda came stealing out of the snow
following the griZZly's trail-and
crept beside Bruce She crouched be-
side him, and his arm ent about her
as II to shield her. She had heard
the sounds of the battle from afar;
she had thought that Bruce was the
contestant, and her terror had left d
deep pallor upon her face; yet now
she gazed upon that frightful conflict
with a strange and enduring calm.
Both she and Bruce knew that there
was but one sure conqueror, and that
was Death. II the Killer survived the
fight and through the mercy of the
forest gods spared their lives there
remained the blizzard. They could
conceive of no circumstances whereby
furtheE effort would be of the least
avail.
The scene grew In fury. The last
burst Of strength was upon Simon
In another moment he would be ex-
hausted. The bear had suffered ter
rible punishment from the blows of
the rife stock. He recoiled once more,
then lunged with unbelievable speed.
His huge paw with all his might be-
hind It, struck the weapon from ST.
mons hand.
1t shot through the air seemingly
almost as fast as the bullets II had
often propelled from It's muzzle, and
struck the trunk Of a tree. So hard
1t came that the lock was shattered;
they heard the ring of metal. The
bear rocked forward once more and
struck again. And then all the sound
that was left was the eerie complaint
Of the wind.
Simon lay still. The brave fight
was over. His trail had ended fitting
ly--in the grip of such powers as were
typical of himself But the bear did
not leap upon him to tear his flesh.
For an instant he stood like a statue
in gray stone, bead lowered, as II In
