 Harvard Observatory lnstru- mcnts Record Quake From North

Boston, Jan. 7.---An, earth tremor lasting about 15 seconds and of con- siderable intensity was felt early to- day throughout eastern Massachu- sets and southern New Hampshire. Instruments at the Harvard seismo- graphic station recorded the tremor at 8:o7 o'clock but because of storm or disturbance off shore at the time officials said, it was not possible to estimate the distance or direction.
 The preliminary tremors by which seismoIogists estimate the dis tance of earthquakes were obscured by some unexplained disturbance, it was said. The intensity of the seis- mograph record was attributed to the fact that the tremor was local l in character. r ..

 Previously, when he had sought to withdraw only a portion Of the speech, Senator Dial had been as- sailed by Senator Robinson. the party floor leader. Taking up a re- mark by the South Carolinian that he had not prepared the speech be- forehand, Senator Robinson asked:
 Did not the senator as matter of fact read the entire speech from a carefully prepared, typewriter manuscript"
 Not a prepared manuscript" re- piled Senator Dial.
 He added that he only wished to withdraw those remarks WhlcA I seemed to infer that the democrats lost the election because they ought to have lost, and those which re- fcrred to political sabotage
 Senator Robinson urged the South Carolina senator to withdraw the en- ttire address as "a deliberate affren' to his colleagues"

Washington, Jan. 7.--After exam ming Secretary Wilbur and other high officials of the navy depart ment, the senate naval appropria- tions committee concurs in the view of the house committee that the country need not be alarmed' about reports that the American navy has fallen below the 5-5-3 ratio.

1t is expected that President Cool
idge will give considerable study
this summer to ways and means OF
saving in governmental expendi-
lures. The President has already
notified the War Department that
they must be prepared to trim their
budgets at least 2 per cent annual
ly. 1t is not the intention of the
Budget Bureau to force such dras-
tic cuts that the machinery of the
Government will be put out of gear.
The plan is to cut off the expenses
gradually.
Whether Mr.. Coolidge remains in
Washington until June %, as origi-
nally planned, depends. largely upon
his health. He will leave the city
Saturday for Minnesota, where he
will deliver an address at the Morse
American Centennial Jubilee. If he
experiences no effects from this long
journey and a strain of a public ap-
pearance, the Chief Executive will
probably remain here until the lat
ter part of the month. If extreme
hot weather sets in he will undoubt-
edly expedite his departure from
and establish the sum-
mer capitol at Swampscott, Mass.

THE DOCTOR

(From Evening Ledger, June 1st)
In his address at the centenary
dinner of Jefferson Medical College,
William Potter, the president, touch
ed casually on a matter that of late
years has been of a great deal of
interest and some concern to all
earnest-minded men in the medical
profession and to some people out
side it. He spoke of the disposi-
ton of the youthful doctor of today
to steer wide of the field of general
practice and concentrate his atten-
ton and his interest in some field of
specialization.
This tendency, as Mr.. Potter OBJ
served, is gradually thinning the
ranks of the family doctors, and it
sometimes seems that the friendly
general practitioner familiar to an
earlier day may soon become little
more than figure of legend In the
view of some medical men who hope
for a time when every diagnosis,
even for a minor ailment, will be
made by a specialist capable of dis
cerning the earliest signs of a dan
gerous malady and so opening way
for a cure while cure is easy, this
rise of the specialist appears alto
gether desirable. But to others of
long experience in the medical pro-
fession it seems otherwise.
What is to be done about the |
minor ailments that aren't of ser
ious import, and who will treat the
sick in small communities where the
of specialists aren't in great
demand? The family doctor, too, was
often more than physician He was
friend and adviser and minister of
grace to whole generations of Amer
cans. He has done epic service es-
)ecially in communities where he,
ike the people, had to have some
hing Of the spirit of the pioneers.
It is matter Of official record
hat even now many small towns and
titles in the East are actually begin
ling to experience a shortage of
loctors. The higher standards of ad-
mission examinations established
Turing recent years at the best med
cal colleges have largely reduced
he numbers of young physicians
in Pennsylvania. And
many Of those who are graduated
axe instantly to a speciality of one
ort or another. It happens that as
octors look deeper and deeper to-
Milford chronicle., 1925-06-05

ward the fundamental origins of de-
structive diseases the need for spe-
cialized knowledge and technique
becomes more and more apparent.
The random ache which would have
been deadened with a pill twenty
five years ago may be the symptom
which a specialist recognizes in
stantly as that of a derangement
which, easily cured at the outset.
may become incurable and fatal
through neglect. The specialist.
therefore, does good work and earns
his fees. Usually he can find little
time to bother with the small ill
nesses that come and go. And mean
while the doctor shortage has be-
come so serious in some communi-
ties that public funds are establish
ed from which a doctorless town
will eagerly pay the young physi-
clan just out of college an annual
salary in order to have him within
call when he is needed. Il

have looked after the health of

How to Read the Future

Whether or not the householder
believes in signs," he would do well
to pay heed to the following maxims
which are the result of long expert
ence and study on the part of Mr.
John j. Gilday, chief of the fire de-
partment of Hoboken, N. j.:
A crack in your chimney is a sure
sign that you are going to move.
To see a paperhanger hang paper
over a fue hole indicates an i'm
pending loss.
It is worse luck to look in a dark
closet with a lighted match than to
see the new moon over your left
shoulder.
When the wind means it is ex-
tremely bad luck to burn trash near
your house.
If you smell gas or gasoline and
look for it with a lighted match, it
is probable that you are about to
start on long journey.
If you have a pile of rubbish in
your cellar, it indicates that crowd
of people are coming to your house.
A quart of gasoline will cause an
to move three miles. A
similar amount in household clean
ing may cause three auto fire trucks
and an ambulance to run a similar
distance.
A child who plays with matches
will gain experience-if he lives.
