DISEASE VICTIMS
CALLED CUTTERS
Dr.. ]. ]. Walsh, in Talk Before
Doctors, Says tuberculosis
Is Most Durable.

Tuberculosis is the most durable
disease IN tho world, DR.. James J.
Walsh of New York told members of
the Wapiya Club OF Washington ply
fsicians at a meeting last night in the
University Club. Its only victims, he
said, are the "quitters." s---,~.
Autopsies have revealed, DR.. Walsh
explained, that every person in the
world who has reached the age or
thirty years has had some stage OF
tuberculosis. "N:ne-tenths OF IL EN- get
better witlout knowing that they had
the disease he said. The one-tenth
who die are quitters."
Imaginary Illness.
DR. Walsh impressed on the ply:
sicians that much illness is more or
less imaginary and can be cured by
the patient. He cited the case Of a
woman who had been bedriddep for
two years. claiming she was a Grip
pie. "A fire broke out In her house."

said, will serve to remind these pa
tientS that they must get better"
We have learned that hysteria is
super-s and that hypno-
tism is induced hysteria," declared DR..
Walsh. up to the nineteenth and
, twentieth centuries the doctors gave
people fits and then cured them.''
Eccentric Methods.
DIT. Walsh spoke on Funny Things
That Have Cured People" and de-
scribed the various eccentric methods
employed by doctors to effect cures
for thousands of years. He told of
a physician in Vienna who used mag
nets shaped in the form of the or
gans Of the human body to draw
disease and pain from his patients;
another who effected cures by touch
ing his patients; and third who
used a battery to cure persons. And,
strangely enough. DR.. Walsh said.
these physicians are credited with
cures where medicines failed.
Our diseases are about the same
today as they were centuries ago"
"Dr. Walsh concluded. land the cures
haven't changed much either"
More than 100 prominent Wash
ington physicians attended the meet
ing. DIR. John A. Foote presided. :

CENSUS Of DISTRICT

Police May Make Count if
Other Duties Permit,
Says Oyster.

A new census of. the population or
Washington may be taken by the
police early IN the new year.
Commissioner Oyster stated last
night that he would give the matter
consideration before spring and
would look favorably upon 1t RI con-
ditions at that time are such that
the police would have the time to
devote to. it. -,
Although it is four years since the
last police census was taken. both
the commissioner and Maj. sullivan
said they could not order q popula-
tion count at this time of year.
F The counting of every man. woman
and child within the four boundaries
of the city is not an easy task, the
police chief pointed out, particularly
at a season when many extra duties
are imposed upon the uniformed
force. "
Christmas Brings Work.
Within a week or ten days an extra
detail OF men Will have to be trans
ferred to the downtown section to
assist in handling traffic during the
Christmas shopping period.
Until recent years the police took
a census every two years. Since
1919, however the department has
been undermanned, and the authori-
ties have not attempted TO follow the
custom.
The police census Of November. 1919.
showed d total population OF 455.42S.
A new census, in addition to giving
the present population. would show
which sections OF the city are grow
ing most rapidly. -.

was a woman of "unfailing geniaity,
hospitality and tact. The White
House during her eight years of do
in'hion was the pleasantest resort in
america and those were golden
days" he said.
MRS. Madison was not a .polft!-
cian, the speaker pointed out. "She
attempted to exert no. influence upon
her husband In political affairs or
even in appointments to office. hut
all OF the leading public men were
her friends. and they unouastionably
were influenced In supporting the
President by the kindly feeling they
had for his wife," -
Madison did more toward bringing
about the constitutional convention
and in leading it than did any other
person. Mr.. Hunt asserted.

After a moment or two Ralph
