are uSeU
why is it unethical for the doctor to
tell the world what he can do? Why
should not the medical societies have
some regular system of informing the
public Of new and proved methods OF
treating human ailments?
Suppose some doctor OF good stand
ing among his fellows vas to discover q
certain cure for leprosy. and was to re-
port this to his medical society and
have the treatment described in medical
journals. In the case Of this terrible
disease, which for many centuries has
been considered incurable, 1t Is likely the
newspapers would get hold OF the item
and make a spread of 1t.
But even so, the name OF the doctor
unknown to the millions of readers Of
the papers would not guarantee the
truth of the announcement. Some re-
sponsible medical society would have to
stand back of it and see to 1t that the
news got to the public promptly and in
accurate statements that could be un-
derStood.
Heard Through Gossip.
But In the case of many lesser
though serious ills, news of MEDICAL
progress never gets to the public except
by the slow process of goSsip-people
telling about their own experience, or
how they heard there was a doctor said
to have done some wonderful work, but
they don't remember his name or just
what the treatment was.
1T was by this gossip method of
propaganda hat I heard a few days
ago of a remarkable science in the
treatment Of q certain disease generally
considered incurable. I knew a person
who had been a long sufferer from this
disease. I took h name n address
of the doctor at once.
Il contend that the fact that he had
made this discovery should have been
given 70 the public Immediately. 1t
would have saved much suffering and
probably many lives, for I learned that
this doctor was of the highest standing
in his profession, and had described the
new method of treatment months be-
fore, In the medical journals.
There are no secrets from the public
or from competitors in the industrial
and business world. except those secrets
which are protected by patents and
represent the life OF a concern. The
same company that holds the patents,
however, makes no secret of the
product-where to get it, how much 1t
will cost. what it will do, etc. The
public and the producer both rely on
this publicity as the venue by which
they can come together. 81
In what respect do doctors stand
in a different relation to the public?
I see none whatever"

principles. Even II it were deemed ad-
visable to exclude So-called dangerous
literature the tariff bill is not the place
to do 1t.
1T is the practical use to which such
laws are put that makes them both
dangerous and ridiculous. All kinds of
books. magazines and pamphlets deal
ing with economic. political, sociological
and historical subjects, as well as cur
rent events, can be and will be banned
when some customs official or judge
thinks they are a little o%ff-color. These
are necessary for our scholars and
writer's If We are to keep abreast with
what is being thought and said and
done the world over.
Even books ON fiction, poetry, es-
says and other publications in the field
of literature per sc, easily could be ex-
cluded whether belonging to the present
day or the classical past.
II, for one, desire to be free to de-
eide for myself what books I can bring
home or have sent me from abroad.
This sort of ban is an absurd ~reStrtc-

CHICAGO BANKING
HOUSE SUSPENDS
Calling Loans in Two Cities
Affects Firm Which Does
$50, OO0,O 900 Business.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June Taylor, Evart
& Co., investment bankers, whose an
nual business last year amounted to
$50, 000, 900, suspended operations today
as a consequence Of the action OF the
New York and Chicago banks in call
ing in their demand loans.
The investment firm, through B. F
Taylor, chairman of the board, issued
a statement hat said while it was il
at least temporary financial difficulties,
there should be no loss to any firm or
individual if the banks would CO.
operate.
No reason was given for the action
of the banks in calling in loans which
amounted to approximately 81, 000. 900,
l.. r. Billet. secretary-treaSurer OF the
investment house. said. He estimated
its securities were in excellent condi-
ton.
"Should Meet Obligations"
However, Billet explained. the pres
ent situation in the securities field
might have Influenced the banks ac-
ton, and indicated the general condi-
ton of the none market perhaps was
q contributing factor. He said he saw
no reason why his firm should not be
able to meet every obligation If given
the opportunity to liquidate.
Taylor, Ewart & Co, with principal
Offices in Chicago. had branches in
New York. Boston, Philadelphia. Mime
apolis, Milwaukee, st. Louis, New Or
leans, Houston, Louisville and San
Francisco. The firm was not q mem
Der of any stock exchange. 1t was
founded in 1911 and was regarded as
one of the leading firms in its field.
Funds Tied Up.
Billet said suspension Of operations
was necessary. inasmuch as the calling
Of the loans tied up funds necessary to
carry on business. No mention was
made of a receivership action, but Bill
lett said it appeared likely the suspen-
sion would be permanent
The announcement OF n suspension
today followed the action of the banks
late Yesterday. The New York banks
acted first, the Chicago banks follow
ing suit, to protect their interests. The
Guaranty Trust, Seaboard National and
New York National were the New York
banks. The Chicago banks were the
Continental Illinois, Northern Trust
and First National. The $4,000, 900 IN
loans was distributed about equally
among the New York and Chicago
banks.

ton whether women viii allow their
skins to take on . Midsummer bronze
from sun and wind.
The p~ace-Setting style makers take
It for granted that women who wear
the Summer models they are turning
out not only will have sunburned faces,
but sunburned arms and shoulders as
well.
They show colors which make the
best Of sunburn, Stressing sur colorings,
especially naSturtium shades, which
only well tanned or naturally dark
skinned women can wear successfully.
Beach and pajama costumes par
ticularly limit themselves to the color
ingS that ~accentuate sunburn. Com
binations widely used are white and
dark blue with touches of cherry or
flag red, black and white, rose-beige,
egg -yolk and egg-shelI tints, and bril-
liam ciel and larkspur blues.
Evening dresses make the same al
lowance for sunburn. There Is almost
no pink in current evening styles shown
at big dresSmaking houses. Amber.
black, cream, green. yellow, dark blues

and Eleventh streets.
Handicapped by Layout.
In discussing the routine situation
the Hansel report declared that while
the Capital Traction Co. enjoys oper-
alton principally through the most
heavily travelled section. 1t is handi-
capped by its track layout which re-
quires through routing in most In
stances, whereas the Washington Rail-
way & Electric Co. Is more system
atically operated in regard to definite
routes. The present routing Of the
Capital Traction cars, 1t said, carries
some of them to distant points outside
the congested district for a terminus
causing "a very evident waste of serv-
Ice due to the inability of the cars
to turn back after having discharged
their load.
The Joint consideration of the rout-
ing systems Of the two railway COM
panieS,'' the report said, presents a
system most difficult for the unacquaint-
ed to understand, and renders proper
marking of routes virtually impossible
P~reSent-day practice Is TO assign letters
or numbers TO routes. These are dis
played in large characters on the ex-
terror of the car and readily convey to
the travelling public the route over which
hat particular car is operating.
1T would be impossible to so mark
cars under the present system of rout-
ing. An illustration of this appears In
that section of Pennsylvania avenue by
the State, War and Navy Building, In
Guiding the branch-oh to Potomac Park,
during the maximum half-hour evening
rush period, where there are operated
IT different routes with 40 particular
regularity"
The cost of carrying out the rerouting
scheme of the Hansel engineers or any
general modification of 1t would likely
to be prohibitive to the traction com
panies in view of their present financial
condition, 1t was pointed out, but what
MI. Hartman has in mind is a plan Of re-
routing that would avoid duplication OF
service to certain sections, track changes
that would eliminate many of the scores
Of curves and thus speed up service, and
an improved operating schedule.

The Conwill boy. coming upon the pair

chest.
AS police investigated the matter,
they were informed of the death of 81

fessional ethics do not look SO good.
Nearly every day sees some new
method of surgery or medical treat
ment which is an improvement on the
old. But the general public hears moth
ing of it unless a controversy Is stirred
up about 1t.
1T is true that marked progress in
medical science is promptly reported by
regular doctors to their technical jour-
mails, and the profession is to be COM
mended for this free offering to the
medical world of any advance IN
methods. But the public does not read
the medical journals. In fact, a lot
of doctors don't read them either. A
good many physicians are SO busy using
their old, accustomed methods of treat
mert that they haven't time to become
informed about new and better methods.
Professions Responsibility.
How shall the public be informed
promptly of improved methods of attack
on disease or of better methods of pre-
vention of disease? Whose is the re-
sponsibility for getting the information
across to the public?
"It seems to me that one Of the first
duties OF the profession is to see that
every step of progress in medical science
is given to the public, promptly and
fully. and in terms the average man car
understand, for the average reader
could not understand the technical
language of the medical journals even
if he had access to them.
IF the ethics of the profession
closes the mouth Of any doctor who
has proved q new method of treat
ment. then let ome brother physician
tell the goods news. Let everybody know
that when a certain Ill befalls there is
n man-at least one-who can do the
very best for 1t, or can direct where
it can be done. Often such knowledge.
given through the newspapers, has been
Of great practical help in times of
emergency.
What would happen II the producers
OF the worlds goods assumed the same
attitude toward the public?-Let the
public find out what we have to offer, If
the public camp
Would Throw Back Progress.
"Such an attitude would result in a
serious throw back in the progress of the
world, and of course it would kill at
once a large percentage of the worlds
commercial business. I don't see that
the doctor and the business men have
any different relations to the public.
Both have things and services to offer
which the public wants and needs, and
which would improve the comfort. con-
v%enience, health and happiness of the
people in the business of living.

but there is a vast difference between that KIND
of advertising and the legitimate publicity due the
public Mr.. Ford said.
People depend on good doctors and the
progress of medical science for the correction OF
a thousand ills and accidents. The public has
the right to know who can help in a given case
and what doctors, if any, have made real prog
ress in the treatment of specific ailments. Who
will tell the public?
Original Purpose Coed.
THE doctors of the regular school have made
a fetish of professional silence, the purpose, OF
course, being the prevention Of personal exploita-
ton. The reason for this originally was good, and
remains so. The purpose was to prevent sensa-
tional quackery misleading the people, and to
avoid deception of the people by premature or
improved claims of new discoveries.
