LONE JUROR PREVENTS
VERDICT OF AC0UITTAL
Case of Alleged Hit-Run Driver
Was Debated for a Hours
Without Decision.

case OF Alleged 1lL-Guu OTlVGT
Was Debated for "a Hours
Without Decision.
The persistence of l juror who held
out for nearly "a hours against the COM
bined opinion of his IL companions,
prevented the acquittal of Jack Edwin
Parker, al years old, who was charged
as a "hit-and-run" driver in a man
slaughter indictment for the death of
Mrs. Stella Herschberger Of Kings
ton, Pa.
The case was given to the jury yes
terday morning and when they had not
agreed last night they we're locked up.
Justice Hitz called them before him In
Criminal Division 2, and when informed
of the impoSsibility Of an agreement
dismissed them.
According to the evidence at the trial
Parker was driving an automobile, No
vember 8, 1927, at Thomas Circle when
he struck Mrs. Herschberger and her
husband, Albert, killing the woman and
injuring her husband. He kept on driv-
ing and was not halted until he was
several blocks from the scene. The
court instructed the jury that they
might consider the alleged fight OF the
driver as a circumstance tending to
show recklessness in the operation of
the car, but not as establishing the
charge of manSlauRhter. The boy was
continued at liberty on bail.

Resigning at 70 from the active leadership of
the Johns Hopkins Medical School, DR.. WEIGH
felt too young to retire. So, with the aid Of
$1,000, 900 presented by the Rockefeller FOun-
dalton, he founded the Johns Hopkins School
of Hygiene and Public Health. coneeiving it
so broadly that 1t has been copied all over the
world. When, a few years later, the British
government rebuilt It's school of hygiene in
London, they modelled it on DR.. Welch's creation.
TN many countries the most brilliant students
Of public health were selected and sent to
study under DR.. WEIGH, the necessary funds
being supplied by the Rockefeller Foundation.
Thus, in every corner of the world, questions
Of life or death, involving millions Of people,

pupils.
Having fashioned the groundwork for medi-

to world problems He has been from its in
ception a trustee of the international health
board which has conducted public health work
in more than so countries, fighting effectively

which organized the Peking Union Medical
College and Hospital as a model from which the
Chinese might learn what the white races al
ready knew of the alienation of suffering and
the blessings of science.
In his 18th year, DR.. WEIGH resigned as
director of the school of hygiene to take over
the chair of the history of medicine. Thus
the dean of American medicine will spend the
last part of his fruitful life in retrospect look
ing back over the long years Of science; smil-
ing at the days when disease was explained by
original sin, or too much blood pressure, or

made while-you-w basis.
The new process, the invention of Prof.
Joseph b. Shaw of Pennsylvania State Uni
versity, permits the entire process of turning
clay into finished building slabs as large as
8 feet by 20 feet to be carried on in one
building at the clay banks. 1t eliminates
handling and re-handling, and provides store
room for whatever material is required at the
source Of the raw material and shipment, with
but a single freight haulage bill direct from
the raw supply to the job at which the I'm
iShed product Is required
Briefly, the process involves first the burn
ing of the clay, followed by heating to the
plastic point, and finally rolling or pressing
after the steel system and finishing of process
Of annealng.
The blocks or slabs produced are light In
weight and insulating to a considerable degree.
After the burning oxidation process has been
completed. the material is heated, in the abb
sence Of oxygen, TO the plastic stage, which
brings about tough, cellular formation. The
addition Of carbon increases this characteristic.
The annealing brings out a strong. dense,
crystalline structure, in which all the strains
set up by the pressing rolling are eliminated.
In order to speed up the process in the early
stages, Prof. Shaw proposes to roll his sheets
one inch thick and then press as many layers
together as may be required to obtain the de-
sired thickness while. the slabs are stin IN the

himself viii go on from new glory to new glory
in the cause of humanity.
In surveying the position to which American
medicine has climbed, partly under his guild
ance, DR.. WEIGH recently said: Although
many Germans now think that the United
States is the world leader in medical education,
feel that Germany still is in the forefront,
though not so outstandingly as in my youth.
We undoubtedly have come up tremendously.
I'm scientific medicine we now have men
who rank favorably in all fields with the work
ers in the same lines in other countries. Since
science is international, the question OF who Is
the world leader is meaningless, but you may
be sure that we nowadays have nothing to be
ashamed Of.
"In world medicine my active SIS years have
been revolutionary. There has been an I'M
menSe accumulation Of new knowledge that
has enabled us to control the spread Of many
diseases-cholera, yellow fever, diphtherias
plague, typhus, malaria and so on.
1.-The only contagious diseases that we have
not really learned how to control are OF the
respiratory type, such as pneumonia and in
fiuenza. They have baffled us, though we know
that they are largely related to the accumula-
ton Of people in cities and that they are direct
ly conveyed.
"As TO the future-the directions are doubt
full but the progress in bacteriology has been
so tremendous that the interest has shifted
away from infectious diseases The young men
now are working on diseases OF nutrition,
chronic diseases and diseases Of the heart, be-
cause we have so little information about them.
The discovery of insulin which cures diabetes,
is a result of this trend"
THE doctors of today, no longer satisfied with
attacking the invisible enemies that In
wade mems bodies, are now making war on the
treachery of the body itself. Like the religious
men of old who aimed to increase your spiritual
stature by curing the soul within you, they

increase your physical stature. But be that as
it may, they are now working on "hormones,"
the gland secretions in the body which har-
monte all its actions
Looking back over his 80 years, Dr. WEIGH
said: 1.-THE expectation of life has gone up

the human machine. 1t varies enormously
with the individual. Longevity is hereditary.
SO the best thing you can do to live to ripe
old age is to pick your ancestors carefully.

thought doesn't involve as much energy as the
traction Of the arm. Energy is measured by
the loss Of heat and only recently have we
developed calorimeter delicate enough to reg
lister the energy used up in thought.
In the last SIS years it has become much
more likely that you will live out your span.

teriaIs and methods not of one branch of science
merely but of all branches, main and collateral.
On this foundation the great American struc-
ture of experimental pathology was reared.
In explaining the next step. DR.. WEIGH said:
american colleges had been developed to train
men for few professions, except the clergy, so
the adjustment of medicine to the college was
a very serious problem. We threw back into
the colleges two years of training that were IN
Germany part of the regular medical course.
We had to do this because students here enter
medical school two years later than they do
there"
Thus the Johns Hopkins Medical School, with
DR. WEIGH as dean, was responsible for the
''pre-medical courses which make the college
lives of future doctors not all one foot ball
game The other medical schools soon followed
the lead of Johns Hopkins. BY requiring for
entrance preliminary training IN physics chem
istry and biology they received their pupils with
q sound basis of elementary fact.
OTHER innovations made by the Johns Hop
~ kins Medical School under DR.. Welchs
leadership include putting such faculties Of
clinical medicine as anatomy and physiology on
the fuIl-time basis. It was felt that professors
who carried on flourishing practices smultane-
ously with their teaching could not give enough
Of their time and energy to their academic
duties. Few other medical schools have ae-
cepted this point Of view.
But Johns Hopkins made a still greater in
novation "Our fundamental idea" DR.. WEIGH
explained, twas that research and instruction
should 60 hand-in-hand; that the best teachers
are interested in the scientific advancement Of
their subject. We believed that productive re-
search was more important than undergraduate
training"
We can only understand the vast significance
of this attitude If we realize that medicine as
a profession is not necessarily the same as med
icine as science. The average practitioner
is no more a scientist than the average lawyer
is q creative jurist. Both take laws, be they
civil or medical, and apply them TO definite
cases, but they do not create.
Like every great movement, the advancement
of healing requires the cooperation Of two
types of men: the rare thinkers who build new
rungs in the never-ending ladder of mans adj
Vancement and the many stalwart followers who
make the ignorant world climb.
Largely under the influence of Johns Hopkins,
the standard of American medical education
grew steadily like the sturdy trunk Of tree.
and when the time came the fruit also was not
lacking Within the SIS years Of DR.. Welchs
career scientific medicine rose to a position OF
importance In American culture.
A large part of our constructive medical In
VeStigation has been done in the Rockefeller
Institute of Medical Research Of New York City.

of this, the first independent research institu-
ton in the country, and he has from the be-

MEMORY OF STONE
Wreath Placed at Cathedral
Crypt in Tribute to A. P.
Founder.

Officers Of the American Society of
Newspaper Editors yesterday paid trib-
ute to the memory. of Melville E. Stone,
founder and former general manager of
the Associated Press, at the crypt in
the Washington Cathedral, which con-
tains his ashes.
by Fred Fuller Shedd of the Philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin, president of the
society, and Walter M. Harrison, editor
OF the Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and
the Oklahoma City Times, former pres
ident.
"On behalf of free press" said Har-
rison as he placed the token, Il lay
this wreath in tribute to the memory
of Melville E. Stone, whose work will
live as long as time runs. Will you
join me in a moment of silent respect
to the man whose work has done so
much for our profession"
The editors stood silently before the
crypt for a short time and then paid
their respects to Mrs. Stone and her
daughter, Miss Elizabeth Stone, who
had attended the ceremonies.
A bronze tablet to the memory of Mr..
Stone, which has just been unveiled in
Bethlehem Chapel of the cathedral, was
viewed by thousand of visitors over
Easter.
The ashes of Mr.. Stone were COM
mitted to the crypt of the chapel last
March after services attended by Presi-
dent Hoover and other high officials
The brief ceremony at the cathedral
closed the eighth annual conference of
the editors.
