tus of the physician, DR.. Grassick
pointed out.
at is within the memory Of many
now living that the call for the doc
tor was made by special messenger
he said. when Il distance of say
ten miles had to be covered it took
from two to three hours under the
most favorable circumstances before
he was available. Contrast this
with the present conditions if you
will. Under similar circumstances
with telephone and auto at our
service, call of fifty to seventy
five miles can be made as quickly

larry served. These unthought of
revolutionary changes place the re-
mote country districts that formerly
were served by local physician, in
comparatively close touch with me-
dical centers; but they do not sup
ply the personal touch of the fam
lily physician in community life with
all that it implies of sympathy and
OF deep concern for the moral,
social, and physical welfare of those
among whom he labors. Here is a
widening gap that our modern meth
DDS of training are doing little to
remedy. The average graduate fresh
from seven-year course where he
has had free access to we'll equipped
laboratories, finds it difficult to
practice in rural community where
there are no such facilities, SO he
seeks the medical center. The fun
damcntal economic principle, that
increase Of cost or lack of adaptibil-
ity restricts distribution, applies
with equal force to Fords, Frank
Inns or Physicians. From this lack
of distribution comes the cry of the
masses from outlying districts for
service and if not supplied, it is
only step to State Medicine with
it's paralyzing influence on indivi-
dualism.
With the passing Of the old Fam
lily Doctor, DR.. Grassick said, came
the exit Of his adventurous brother,
the Pioneer Physician of the West.
Duty of Physicians
DR.. Grassick, pointing out the
changes in modern life, emphasized
the duty of the members Of the
medical fraternity to educate the
public into an appreciation Of the
problems of medical science.
However distasteful personal adj
vertising may be to the profess ion
and however detrimental to the NOR
ais of the community, there is no
doubt whatever that campaign of
publicity under proper safeguards
embracing a discussion of the simple
practical facts relating to health and
to disease prevention, the more in
tricate problems Of the practice of
medicine, and the relation of the
medical profession to the people
whom it serves, would have de-
cided influence in creating in the
public mind the confidence, appre-
citation and respect that is due an
honorable and learned profession
DR.. Grassick said.
Dr., Grassick, in bis address, also
impressed upon the members the
necessity of preserving high ideals,
declaring that in the association
"there is no room for the mercenary
charlatan, the get-rich- quick promo
ter, or the self-seeking advcnturer."

attorneys fees would be stipulated
by committee composed Of the Of

The participation of the Franks

borated upon. Two Of the alienists
for the prosecution, one of whom tcs-
titled his fee was to be $3.50 day
said they had been engaged for the
state through Samuel Ettelson, form
err corporation counsel for Chicago,
and friend of the Franks family.
He advised with the prosecution but
al" not participate openly.
Mr.. and Mrs. Franks appeared as
opening day witnesses to establish

er president of the Chicago board of

the defendants families on the wit

The youthful murderers were grad
uated as the youngest members of
their classes at the University of
Chicago and the University Of Mich
igan, each now being 10 years old.
They are scions of old Chicago fam
lilies. The Leopold family. has been
in Chicago since 1867. Albert H.
Loeb. father Of Richard, was born in
Chicago in 1868. The grandfathers
of both youths were among those
who, like Carl Schurz. came to this
country from Germany because Of
the failure Of the revolution Of 1S4S.
