Medical Association and Of Hy-
geia, the Health Magazine
In the United States there are IS
states with 4s different laws regu-
latinE- tho practice Of medicine.
At one time there were more
medical colleges in our country
than In all of the other countries
combined.
Conditions have improved. so
that today some of our states
have laws which would be a pro,
lection to tho public against In,
competent and irresponsible doc
tors. II the laws were properly
enforced.
Moreover, practically all Of the
low grade quack medical colleges
have been abolished, and the vast
majority Of those turning out doc
tors Of medicine today graduate
q high-class product. The period
has been one OF evolution.
Unquestionably there are men
in practice In many states today
whose grade OF competence is no:
up to the average. Competence
itself is not. however. the onlv
criterion. since a patient might
be safer with doctor relatively
less competent whom he could
trust implicitly as a man OF re-
pute.
One Of the greatest life insur.
ance companies of the country has
recently issued to all Of its policy
holders a statement under the IT,
tie. "Your Friend the Doctor
1t suggests the following ques-
tons to be considered in the
choice of a physician:
! lis he liked and trusted -.
/ the kind of people whose opinion
you respect?
lis he a graduate OF a rec.
ognized medical school that re-
quires at least four years Of thor
ough training?
| 3-Has he had broad practical
experience or training In a first
class hospital. or both?
4-Does he keep in touch with
the most recent scientific discov.
cries?
o-Does he belong to a loca
or national association OF doctor.
Of medicine?
6-When in doubt. write Il
your city. county or state depart
ment of health. or the secretar,
of your county medical society.
IA specialist Is a man who
In addition to regular DOCTOR
training, has spent several year,
studying one branch of medicin,
or one organ OF the body. As {
rule 1t Is best not to go to 4 Sc
cialist until you have seen a reg
ular doctor for general exami
nation. He can tell whether o.
not you need a specialist and ad
wise you as to the best one to con
suit.
Furthermore, the policy holde
IL warned to beware of five type
Of doctors who are likely to b.
quacks. These are:
THE doctor who advertise
tis methods or "cures' In news
papers or gives out handbilis.
2-The doctor who posts BIZ
advertising signboards outside hi
office.
3-The doctor who claims h
can cure serious disease quick
and easily.
4-The travelling doctor VIII
moves from town to town.
5-The doctor or group OF doc
tors who have discovered some ne,
cure" that other physicians do NO
know about. No great discovery q
science is kept secret.

ly one-third in monthly output. An
efficient and far-seeing association of
producers is responsible for this in
crease without either depressing or
boosting the price disastrously.
The sudden growth in demand has
been due not alone to the recent adj
vertiSing campaign to popularize the
uses of copper. Nor has it been wholly
due to the general increases in output
of the automobile, electrical and other
industries using copper, although the
stimulus from these industries has been
pronounced. The General Electric
Co, for example, reports an increase
of IS per cent in its business of 1923,
with much broader adoption of cleo
IRRIGATION in homes and on the farms,
on railroads, in many industries, and
in ship propulsion" Production of
motor cars during January last rose

mand for copper for water pipes and
for sheets and strips used in building
and in the manufacture of many mod
ern utensils.

oI MARKET

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE events of
last week in the stock market were al
most too well advertised in the daily
press to warrant retelling. Stock prices
broke seriously early in the week, when
In one day call money rose to 20 per
cent and the volume Of trading reached
more than 100000 shares. Prices rail-
lied sharply directly afterward. finally
reaching the point from which they had
started.
Few issues were spared in the de-
cline, and while NEST of them regained,
at least, small part of the ground
lost, several groups showed only mod
crate price changes from the previous
weeks close. In fact there were a few
groups, including coppers, mail order,
automobile and most radio stocks,
which lost ground for the week. But
the most spectacular gains were made
by the telephone and electric nlanufac-
turing groups and, above all, the oils. Z
AS is usually the case, when stocks
break badly on the New York Stock
Exchange prices on the Curb and local
markets follow suit. It was rather I'm
usual, however, to see them recover as
sharply as they did last week.
Money to Remain High.
We are still in the dark regarding
the money situation, According to the
bank statement, which is based on last
TUESDAYS stock prices, brokers loans
showed reduction for the week. How
ever, when the rise in prices which took
place toward the end Of last week. Is
financed early this week, brokers loans
win again be on the upgrade.
There have never been 50 many con-

IllRU call TdJeS are bNlUeIltly III pIOS-
pect, although they will fiuctuate errat-
ically until stock liquidation finally re-
duces brokers' loans.
Variable Bank Policies.
The public has at best a haZy notion
of the real situation In the money mar
ket because the leaders have been say
ing one thing and doing another. Last
week, q prominent New York banker,
whose bank had formerly gone on rec
ord as strenuously opposing further use
of Reserve credit for speculative pur-
poses, stated that in spite of the Reserve
Boards warnings, his bank would not
idly watch call money precipitate a
panic in the stock market. The result
was prompt reversal in the stock
market trend, accompanied by the alb
sorption Of additional credit by the
market.
1t is rather difficult to see how the
banks who are avowedly favoring IAN
orderly reduction of loans for specu-
lative purposes" intend to accomplish
their aim. The market being a specu-
lative medium, will forecast the future,
and if stock traders had been con-
WINGED that the multitude of threats to
curb credit sent out by the banks were
to be carried out, prices would have
dropped long ago.
Stock prices continue high, however,
and call rates so higher. If large
majority of banks actually decided to
liquidate brokers loans. they have the
power to do it. 1t is only too obvious,
therefore, that there are not enough
banks desiring to cause this liquidation,
perhaps because they dislike to. open
themselves to the accusation that they
have caused heavy losses to small
spectators. Speculation is evidently
to be allowed to run its course until a
decline in business activity becomes
imminent.
A Popular Theory.
The frequent sharp drops and equally
sharp recoveries which have been typl-
cal of the stock market for the past
few months have led a large group OF
inexperienced spectators to form a
theory that to make money in the mar
ket one has only to buy stocks after a
drop. In their short experience stocks
have always rallied back abruptly
whenever they declined any distance.
The more experienced traders know,
however, that in all the past as bull
market progressed these dips have be-
come increasingly severe until finally
one decline is severe enough to leave
many. small holders of speculative
stocks holding the bag" until the next
bull movement brings prices back. To
the investor who buys investment stocks
outright, however, and who is not con-
cerned with month-to-month fiuctu-
ations but is content to see the market
go against him for a time, these sharp
reactions. present an opportunity to
pick up high-grade investment securi-
ties at prices which are at least some
what below the highest prices.
There is little chance that the general
level of the market will rise far above

Editorial Comment
THE HEROIC AGE
(St. Paul DiSpatch).

An American expedition working at Tel Nasbcs. a few
miles north Of Jerusalem has uncovered twelve dwellings
built between 1900 and 100 B. c. by the 1sraelites. It is
not difficult to account for the survival OF massive tenn
plies and palaces after q stretch of more than 81 GEN.
turtles. but that the ruins Of the homes of the common
people should be found in such numbers is remarkable.
They were built and inhabited In the heroic age Of
the world. Samuel. the last Of the Judges Of Israel, was
ruler OF the people who. undoubtedly spurred by the
progress OF the neRhboring nations. longcd for the ma
iesty and dignity OF a king. It was In the same period
that the Greeks under Agememnon besieged Troy and de-
stroyed the city after nine years OF fighting. Aeneas. II
virgils pleasant story is to be admitted. left the smoking
ruins Of the home town and headed westward with his
ships to make the first settlement at Rome and lay the
foundation for the new empire that was to eclipse the
conquering Greek.
Homer had not yet written the story Of the fall Of
Troy and the wrath of Achilles. But for that matter the
history Of Israel had not yet been committed to parch-
ment. Homer is believed to have written somewhere
about 1000 b. G. and that is also the date assigned to the
earliest Scriptures in the sense that they were written.
In the epic age OF the world men mcmQrizcd and re-
peated the stories of the deeds that were later to be
written.
That heiehtens the interest in the homes that were
built IN an age Of heroes.
The same warm sunshine flooded their roofs as in
our day when there is no Samuel to hear the Voice on
Shiloh and no Homcric heroes to smite like giants under
the walls OF Troy.

SPAIN IN FLORIDA

-
Today is the anniversary of per-
haps the greatest single aid Spain,
as an ally of the American colonies,
gave during the Revolutionary war.
For about two years prior to May
o. 1881. Galvez, the Spanish COM
mander at New Orleans, had har-
raised British forts along the south
ern length of the Mississippi river
with considerable success. He then
planned a campaign against the
British on the west coast Of Florida,
in the hope Of retaining the terri
tory for Spain.
His operations were delayed at the
outset by the first hurricane IN
recorded history to strike Florida and
the adjacent territory on the Gulf Of
Mexico. But on May 9, 1851, Pensa-
cola, with q garrison Of 800 mel and
the whole Of Fl0rida'S west coast sur
rendered to Galvez.
The Spanish victory "a favorable
news to the struggling colonies, but II
was to give rise later to q prolonged
border dispute between the United
States and Spain. It was not settled
until 20 years later and, meanwhile
provoked much ill-will between the
two countries.

SAFEGUARDS FOR WORKERS

Recent news dispatches from Uruguay telling Of the
death of nine workers in a burning factory were Of in
terest to American readers for other reasons than those
surrounding fire and accident news in general.
Tragedies of this sort in foreign lands remind the
United States Of the progress it has made in the elimina-
ton Of industrial firetraps and in otherwise making the
life Of the factory worker secure. Incidents like that in
Uruguay once were common here: now they are ex-
tremely rare.
Employers. employe organizations and the state are
responsible for the improved condition. They have seen
to it that unsafe buildings were condemned and razed,
that adequate fire escapes were provided. that fire haz-
ards were reduced to a minimum and that every protec-
ton possible was raised about the factory employe while
at work. The American factory hand is safer in the
mills than in his or her home.
Nowhere else in the world is more protection given
the worker against accident and disease. The best OF
sanitary conditions prevail in American factories and
great strides have been made in the diminution of acct
dents. While the industrial accident rate is still large,
it is no longer cause for alarm. Accident prevention has
reached that advanced stage where the chief accident
cause is not employer negligence but employee careless
ness.
No industry is profitable to the nation if it shortens the
lives and stunts the bodies Of its workmen, and some day
we shall regard the head of such an industry as a traitor
to the state, although he may be a highly respectable
citizen who has done valiant service in tracking down
radicals who have spoken slightingly of some American
institution or ideal.

DAY,
A1ENE SUMNER

Just a we might have expected,
now comes a plea for "companionate
divorce" along with "companionatc
marriage" Arthur Garfield Hays
writes in The Nation:
Shocking as it may be, occasion
arises where q husband and wife
agree that they are mismated. Be-
fore they conclude to do anything
about 1t, they run the gauntlet of fear
and indecision inspired by the church
and convention. Common social
and economic interests and children
concern them. Habit and the me-
chanics of life are a deterrent to their
separation. I have known persons
who continued together because they
had a ong-term lease on an apart
ment. Thus, ven in this modern age
whepe divorce does not necessarily
stamp as 'unreSpectable,' marital
relations are not often broken
thoughtlcssly or with frantic haste.
If a married pair reach the stage
where they are not willing to wait
until death do them part what is
the next step? Specters and ogres
haunt the way. They may, of course,
just separate. Whether either wants to
remarry or not, this is unsatisfactory
psychologically. Is 1t leaves them i'll
a condition neither bound nor free.
In order that they may get clear the
state must pry into their private af-
fairs and some judge must conclude
that someone has done wrong Even
in the more liberal states. the wrong
doer must have been cruel. an habit
ual drunkard or a deserter. Decent
people seem to have little chance to
solve their marital problem in accord
ance with law.
