planned. although the water evidently
followed the course of an old sluice

Medical Council of Veterans Blu
reau Meets Here Today-Com-
mittees to Report.

The medical council of the Yet
erans' Bureau convened today at the
bureau in its third conference on
problems regarding the ,Governme nt's
care of war wounded, DIR, Ray
Lyman Wilbur of Leland Stanford
University of California, is chairman
of the council.
The principal activities of the con-
ference are expected to cover the
unfinished business of the second con-
ference which convened in November,
1924. of which the keynote was Cure
Better Than Compensation" for dis
abled veterans. Reports of progress
along the lines of research and en-
deavor assigned to each group Will
be reported by the several commit
tees.
At the last conference the council
advocated strongly the establish
ment in the Veterans Bureau of a
distinct medical corps that perma-
nency of service might be secured for
the medical officers of the bureau in
order to safeguard the elaborate cur
ative program which is being de-
veloped through the office of the
medical director. This proposition is
the subject of pending legislation
and if passed would place the medical
staff of the Veterans Bureau on a
parity as to pay with the other five
medical services of the Government
and would stop the tremendous turn
over of medical officers which is de-
clared inevitable under present con-
ditions.

to the cowboy style. Hunt, when he
called at the White House today, was
attired in trousers with wide bot
toms dangling about his heels. He
said that as a result of the publicity

with the Executive regarding modern
styles.
