RUMANIAN PEOPLE UNEASY.
Physicians Statement Does Not Allay
Suspicious About King.

RI-CHAREST, December R).-
Although the attending surgeons as'
sert that the operation performed on
King Ferdinand by the French savant.
Prof Hartmann, was a minor one,
this has failed to allay public un-
easiness.
Even the announcement after u
family council, composed OF queen
Marie and her daughters and Prince
Nicholas, that Ferdinand's condition
did not warrant the return home ot
the Wayward former Crown Prince
Carol. has not eased the minds of the
people.
The official information given out
by the doctors is that the operation
was the common treatment for memoir
rhoids. Some weeks ago ii was stated
that the ailment of Ferdinand hah
been diagnosed as recto-sigmoidtis,
or inflammation of the lower section
of the large intestine.
Fatal Disease Hinted.
"a recent dispatch from Belgrade,
Jugoslavia. said reports received there
that the disease of the monarch was
cancer. and that his condition was
hopeless)
Several doctors remained in the
nalace throughout last night. During
the evening a report from the bedside
said Ferdinand was doing as well aS
could be expected for man or his
age, whose physique is s'enfeebled by
long illness.
The latest reports this morning said
the King was rallying we'll from the
effects of the operation. There Is n
feeling among the pOpulace, however,
that while the medical bulletins are
true as far as they go, they do not
tell all; that 1t is not stated in tho
bulletins that the operation, the s"r-
ond of the kind the King has under
gone in a. year, was a slight one be-
cause the patient was unable to stand
a severer one which would go TO the
root of his aiment.
Ferdinand is loved and respected by
all classes of the populace, and his
illness is their sole preoccupation.
There are no signs of political per-
turbation. Reports from Vienna and
Berlin that former Crown Prince
Carol has some idea Of starting n
movement in Rumania are not taken
seriously here.
Carol has certain number Of sup.
porters in the army, but Premier
Averescu has taken what he deems
the necessary precautions against
coup. outside the army Carol appears
to be thoroughly discredited and re-
garded with something akin to con-
tempt.
In any case IL is not believed Carol
will attempt anything while his father
Is living. Those close TO him maintain
that never at any time will he do any
thing to injure the interests OF the
country. Carol has given an underA
taking not to enter Rumania without
permission for 10 years.

Stage Peacocks

The introduction of speaking PIC
tures will be certain to change the
personnel of the array of screen cele-
brities as not all the present favorltes
will have pleading voices or correct
pronunciation. Large numbers OF the
screen stars are foreign and either
speak broken English or none at all.
Imagine the disappointing effect OF
their speech especially in dramatic
climaxes and the almost certain re-
sponses from the young and derlslve
America in the audience. The vita
phone or phone film method may be
well adapted to didactic uses, but In
pure drama the silent picture will
ever have the greatest appeal for

words better than any but the finest

HE GETS 1T COMING AND GOING"

Every physician knows that the life Of
doctor is hard one. Now, our local medicos
should take cheer from the fact that it is also
a short one
Reliable statistics, quoted by DR.. Haven
Emerson, of New York. from the records OF
the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
show that, after the age of forty-five, there is
a higher death rate for physicians than for
persons of any other occupation. AS to the
causes of death, the medical profession follows
the same general trend as the rest of the pop
ulation.
The doctor, because of rigid requirements
of his calling, necessarily starts to practice his
profession at relatively late time of life. AS
a result of the hard life which he is forced
to lead, large slice is cut off the earning
period of his life at the far end also.
While doctors have increased the average
length of human life by over ten years during
the last century, they have at the same time
shortened their own lives.

Woman's Duplex Jobs

An institute of Smith College has
made a study of woman's work with
the object of determining whether
with her new freedom and entrance
into many varied fields of labor she
can still remain a good home-maker.
The results announced to the Pan
Hellenic association meeting in Wash
ington this week were to the effect
that woman cannot hold rigid JOB
with set hours in the service OF an
EMPLOYER and run a home success
fully at the same time. However, II
a woman owns a business or II her
hours are flexible she is found to
coordinate the home and business
interests successfully. AS an aid to
professional and business women a
of the home is advo-
Gated with community service IN
many lines such as cooperative maids
and nurses and cooperative food SER
vice. Part-time jobs for married
women of ability is a growing TEA
ture in industry.

Well for Geroge Bernard Shaw
there is 100000 for contract to

and of which he has himself a very
poor opinion. He says he thinks OF
this story with shudder that ne es-
capped being called successful novel
list on account of it at the time. 1t
might have ruined his subsequent ca
reer. He ran it first as serial with
out any remuneration and afterward
in book form it afforded him no
profit. 1t just happens to fit in with
the scheme of popular things and peo-
pie at this time, being story that
either the ex-champian or present
champion prize fighter might star IN
and this assures it going over alright
as a money maker. Of course the
authors name means great deal for
it's success.

NOT A MYSTERY

The falacy yet persists that there is a mys-
tery about the growth of certain cities.
The people who place credence in this falla-
CIV believe that it is useless to try to accom-
plish something at home because the home
civt is not endowed with this mysterious luck
City growth is no more mysterious than indl-
vidual growth Confidence and work achieve
both.
There must be confidence, of course, but
unless that confidence is expressed in coop
erative work, little can be accomplished.
Towns, like people, have different personal
tiles, and while geographic location has some
thing to do with community's growth, it is
of nominal importance compared with the at
titude of the citizens themselves.
Individual hard work will accomplish in
dividual success, but unless the individual
work of towns citzenry is united for COM
mon aim, their work is futile and rather silly.
1t can becompared to the ancient alegory of
a half dozen novices attempting to row boat,
each having his own idea of how to paddle.
One of the most tragic things-Yes, even
the most tragic-that can happen to strate-
gically located community is to have it's lead
ing citizens divided on every issue effectng
the citys welfare, and alert to knife every
project for petty, selfish motives. A commu-
nifty suffers worse under this sort of condition
than it would if visited by a hurricane such
as which ravaged Miami. When people have
genuine confidence in their town and are will
ing to work together, no obstacle is too great
for them to overcome. Witness Miami citizens
rebuilding their city with more confidence and
more perfectly united effort than ever exem-
0lified before.
Every community can learn something from
he magic city of Florida.
Fitzgerald can reach any reasonable dimen-
ons her citizens wish. It is entirely up to
Ter citizens.

Long Long Thoughts

1t was Longfellow who said the
thoughts of youth are long, long
thoughts. An Atlanta divine puts
some Importance on the opinions OF
the young people of that city on the
trend of things in the world. Several
hundred replies to QUESTIONABLE are
surprisingly accusing and pessimistic
in outlook.
Too much love of pleasure not on
ly by thhe young but their parents
is one of the major troubles with the
ag cas- stressed in a majority OF the
answers. Several thousand people
are attending tn eseries Of sermons
on Youth given by the pastor at
