some months. Should any change be
made, it will be initiated by Traffic
Director William H. Harland and APP
proved by the District Commissioners.

not recommend change until he had
previously sounded out the sentiment
Of business, civic and automobile in
dustry leaders at a round-table confer
ence No change will be considered at
the earliest before the return from his
vacation of Commissioner Proctor L..
Dougherty at the end of this month.
Mr.. Dougherty, who is spending his
vacation in Maine, has executive

treatment. The increase OF hospitals,
in both numbers and capacity during
the past Is years has added impetus to
the trend toward spectalism, because in
the organization of hospital STATS they
are commonly divided into departments
representing the several specialties. To
secure admission to a hospital staff,
therefore, the physician Is induced to
limit his work to the specially of the
department to which he Is assigned.
I'm the long run 1t is believed, how
ever" declared DR.. Colwell. that the
physician who has acquired a good
comprehensive knowledge, whereby he
can accurately diagnose and provide
fairly efficient skill for the great ma
jority of ailments which come to him
will prove to be of greater service to
the public and more successful than
the physician who limits his practice
to narrow speciality"
