How Much MAY Doctor Charge?

The Mccormick suit in California, which involves
among other things the fee paid to the wordfamous
psychoanalyst DR.. E. J. Kempf raises interesting
problem as to the ethics of physicians fees
Dr. Kempf has been engaged to give his exclusive
personal attention to Stanley Mccormick, for which
services he receives the mutually agreed upon sum
of $4,000 year. Many critics have alleged that
such charge is indefensible, matter how agree
able the McCormcks may be to its payment
in this particular case or how great the curative
talents of DR.. Kempf
internationally known physicians and surgeons
frequently asked give their services for nothing
TO needy poor, and they not uncommonly comply with
gracious willingness. Having thus waived the limit
at the lower end of the scale, they be expected
legtimately to recognize fixed limit at the other end
beyond which they may not stray, however ndis-
pensable their services or whatever the material
wealth of the patient?
Certainly the most excessive recorded fees of the
greatest medical practitioners of day are rather
moderate compared with the fees charged by equally
famous corporation lawyers to wealthy clients Yet it
requires much longer, more exactng and more ex-
pensive preparation to be doctor today than it does
to enter the legal profession Further, saving life is
more crucial matter than winning suit
The public has no means of acquiring precise in
formation to how much Mr.. Mccormick has i'm
proved under DR.. Kempf's treatment. But as long
as both the patient and his relatives appear satisfied
We safely may assume that the doctor is doing all
that can be done that he pretended be able to do
If this is true, then $4,000 year may be regarded
as very reasonable charge under the circumstances
Not few practicing psychoanalysts in New York
City derive much more from their fees in the
course of year.

LetI'hem Give Thanks

The power industry must feei very grateful toward
the federal power commission about this time each
year, when the governmental body issues it's annual
report. The report has strong power company flavor
This years report is more than typical 1t is par
tculary disappointing to the public, because it rep
resents the attitude of q power commission one
that has come into being under the Hoover admins
tration.
For months there has been talk of strict federal
regulation of the industry, with the commissions au-
hority expanded to take in this field That proposal
has met with strong opposition from power COM
panies
The commission plainly indicates that it believes
public utility regulation is field primarily for state
rather than federal activity" Going further, the
commission states: During the nine years that have
passed since enactment of the law, its admin.stra-
ton has suggested need for altering the present
scope of its regulatory provisions
Opposition to water power development by private
Industries has become far more marked on the part
of the public during the last year. The commission
terms this lack of constructive public cooperation
which binders greater development
obstacles include litigation unfair taxation and
control of certain abuses that has led to unneces
sary handicaps for legitimate enterprises" the report
informs u.s. The hope is expressed, however, that
these obstacles no doubt will be overcome, so that
further progress may continue"

The Case for the WOman's College

The recent meeting of the representatives OF the
leading colleges for in the United States for
chilly advertised the special which these 1nsttu-
tons present with respect to the need of adequate
financial support
It can not be denied that best colleges for
women are the real live wires in our American
higher education. No similar group of mems col
leges can compare with them in this respect
We need only mention the reputation justly de-
veloped by President Nelson of Smith college for
courageous support of world peace social justice and
intellectual freedom: the attitude of President Wooley
Of Mount Hoyoke in regard to the Sacco-Vanzeth
case and international relations; Dean GderSeeye's
timely and sane utterances with regard to peace and
the defects of the prohibition system; President Mac
Crackens fortitude in branding the Coolidge legend
a myth during the 1924 campaign, and the support
of a summer labor college by Bryn Mawr to indicate
the intellectual flavor of these institutions.
Indeed they provoked Mr.. Coolidge to authorship

the Delineator condemnlng liberalism in womens
colleges.
The women's colleges certainly are deserving OF
generous pecuniary aid. All could make timely and
discriminating use of benefactions of ten millions
apiece They need gifts far more than the compare
BILE mems colleges of today, and they have more
valid claim to assistance if conceves of college

Moreover. they face special handicaps in making

CETTLEMENT of the Pacific
~ coast will go down not only
in our own history, but in that OF
the world, as something unique. 1t
was made possible by the march OF
millions across a 1,000-mile desert.
There have been equally great
migrations in the past, such as the
Tartar movement into Europe or
the Mongol sweep into India. There
has been none that moved with
such smoothness and precision as
the American trek, none that estab-
lished itself so quickly, none that
left such few scars along its trail.
One hundred years ago the peo-
pie of this country knew little more
than that great ocean lay to the
west, with such barriers between as
daunted the most courageous.
Men still live who heard the
trumpet cry of gold, who made the
long trail in covered wagons, who
helped to find their own passes
through the mountains.
Now the Pacific coast, with its
congested cities, roaring trade, high
ly cultivated farms and ultra-mod-
ern ways, really is setting the pace
/ for American civilization.

Strainer

Ut occurred to medical men more
L. than a century ago that one way
to discover the function of the
spleen would be to remove it from
an animal and see what changes
took place in the animal.
The experiment was made then
and many times since. It has
yielded no important results, be-
cause the animal gets along excel
lently without it. AS already stated,
it is removed with impunity from
human beings as we'll.
DR.. w. j. Mayo, famous surgeon,
thinks that perhaps the spleen acts
as a sort Of sieve or strainer, re-
moving the impurities from the
blood which flows through it
Modern science supports this view.
In some way. not yet at all known,
the spleen seems to play some part
in giving people immunity to GER
tain diseases.
There is also some reason to be-
lieVe that red blood corpuscles arise
in the spleen during the prenatal
period.
Enlargement of the spleen is not
an infrequept occurrence. AS q
rule. however, enlargement Of the
spleen is a secondary effect of some
other disease. 1t occurs only infre-
Quently as a primary condition.
The spleen. because it is an organ
of mystery, figures frequently in
poetry and literature. It's function
has been described variously, from
the seat Of ill-temper to the seat of
the soul.

Climate Won Them
THIS country had become rict

THIS country had become rich
Il compared TO the rest Of the
| world when California and Oregon
we're opened. AS a general propo-
sition, people did not go west be-
cause they had to. Most of them
started with a good supply OF cash
and with lines of credit back home.
1t was not a poor mans movement,
a flight from persecution, an adven-
ture for loot.
At the outset, easy money was the
great attraction, but that soon gave
way to the lure of an easy climate.
The original idea was to get to
California, grab a few nuggets, and
go back east. A few did, but the
vast majority remained to bask in
the sunshine, whether they struck
pay dirt or not.
From its very beginning. the move
ment was blessed with a plentiful
supply of capital. The covered
wagon soon gave way to the we'll
organized stage coach line, and that,
in turn, to the railroad.
Mark Twain tells how a few
Americans happened to meet in
Palestine in the early seventies, and
how one of them was expatiating
on the wonderful forty-year march
of the Israelites led by Moses
through the wilderness, when an
other and less reverent member
spoke up to say that Ben Halliday,
the stage coach magnate, could have
done it in as many days.

Helped by East

THE Pacific coast, as we know it,
L. is measurably a product of
surplus wealth mostly accumulated
on the sunrise side of the Rockies,
if not the AlleghenieS. 1t would not
be what it is today but for the vast
amounts of cash the east and
middle west could have afforded to
spare, especially during the last
half century.
This fortuitous circumstance has
not only made its rapid develop
ment possible, but has tied it into
the national structure.
Though separated from the rest
OF the country by wide and sparse
ly settled region, the Pacific coast
is as intimately associated with New
York Washington, and other great
cepters of government and finance
as is any part of the nation.
It has been welded firmly into
our political and economic structure,
and is in fine shape to take on the
job of handling that vast new field
of trade which is about to open for
us on the farther shores of the
| Pacific ocean.

THANKSGIVING DAY
NnYemher %

TODAY is the 308th anniversary
Il of the celebration of the first
plentiful harvest by New England
colonists in 1921 near the end Of
November. This year the holiday
falls on Nov. %.
The first Thanksgiving day was
set aside by Governor Bradford as
day of thanksgiving and prayer.
In 1923, a day of fasting and prayer
IN the midst of drought was changed
into a thanksgiving by the coming
of rain during the prayers.
Gradually the custom prevailed OF
appointing Thanksgiving annually
after harvest, on the last Thursday
in November During the Revolt
ton, a day of national thanksgiv-
ing was annually recommended by
congress.
In 1864, President Lincoln ap..
pointed a day of thanksgiving and
since then the Presidents have is
sued a Thanksgiving proclamation,
designating the last Thursday of the
month.
The memory of Thanksgiving
days origin as a state appointment
survives N the proclamations of the
Governors of the states, which fol-
lows that of the President each
year.
