developed, the chief fault is the
lessening of personal relationship
between the physician and the pa
tient. 1t is human nature for the
worker to feel his responsibility to
the source of his income.
1t is safer for the patient If the
physician feels that he is respon-
sible primarily to the patient. Any
plan that lessons the responsible
ity Of the trained physician to the
patient or that denies him the re-
ward of individual effort of superior
ability IS detrimental to the welfare
of the patient.
1t must be remembered in this
connection that medical education
in this country has been improved
constantly, and that the medical
profession of the next generation
will be in general Of a much higher
grade than that of the present.
1t must be remembered also that
research has shown that 90 per cent
of the diseases affecting human be-
ings can be diagnosed and treated
by a general practitioner with the
amount of equipment he can carry
in handbag.
1t is only the remaining 10 per
cent Of difficult and serious diseases
that requires specialization and
the co-ordinated services of nu-
merous specialists.

Strange Resolution

PEAKING of prohibition and its
- enforcement, the h din e
writer's are having a holiday over
the fact that son Of Senator Fess
was arrested and fined SO for dis
orderly conduct.
To me the case is more than a
little mysterious; not, you under
stand, because the son of famous
dry embarked upon a larky eXpedi-
ton. That has been heard Of before
in newspaper annals. But the cir
cumstances Of the arrest are puz-
cling.
According to the story told BY
policeman Richard Broderick, he
found young Fess creating dis
turbance outside the door of a
night resort in East Fifty second
street. So intent was the reveller
on gaining admission, that he asked
the policeman to help him crash the
gate.
The resort, according to the
papers, is known as THE Surf
Club" I can not identify it among
any Of the cards in my possession.
1t must be a place Of distinctly un-
usual charm, or why should young
Tess make such a direct drive upon
hospitality?

AN ABDICATION ORDER
June 10

0N June 10, 1917, French and
" British troops, entering Thes-
sally, occupied Volo and Larissa. On
the following day a French force
seized the isthrnus of Corinth.
On June II, Charles Jonnart, for
merly French governor of Algeria,
and at this time named high COM
missioner Of Greece, arrived in Ath-
ems and demanded of the royalist
premier, NJ. Zair1is, the immediate
abdication Of King Constantine and
the remuneration Of the crown
princes right Of succession.
The king was not in a position to
fight. There was only one thing to
do. And so, on June II, 1917, Con-
stantine adbicated the throne of
Greece and on the next day he
sailed away with his Hohenzollern
wife from HellaS under escort Of
two French destroyers.
Under Jonnart's supervision,
Alexander, Constantine's second
son, duly was proclaimed king, sew
eral VIGOROUSLY pro-Gernan Greek
leaders were expelled from the
country, and an accord was reached
between the partisans Of VenizeloS
and those of zainais.

The MackereI Sky

a N old weather proverb recoE-
L y nizes the fact that mackerei
sky may bring rain. It says:
Mackerel scales and mares tails
Make lofty ships carry low sails"
The fact that large cunulus
clouds, great puffy billowy clouds
precede thunderstorm are noted
In Q proyerb which goes
In the morning mountains,
In the evening fountains"
A fair day usually follows If a fog
clears up early in the morning. But
If the fog hangs on, rain will USUALLY
follow. This is implied in the pro-
verb which says:
MlstS dispensing on the plain
Scatter away the clouds and rain.
But when they hang on the
mountain tops
They'll soon descend In couiouz
drops"
Another weather proverb which IA
pretty accurate goes as follows:
Evening red and morning gray.
Help the traveller on his wav:
evening gray and morning red.

What We Like Counts

C1GNOR BACARDI, now on a visit
~ to New York, is not so disturbed
over prohibition as by the advent of
electric drink mixers.
Whether wet or dry, he thinks a
country has gone to the dogs when
it employs such contraptions.
Of more serious Importance, he
says that, in spite Of prohibition and
hard times, his business continues
good.
Cuban sugar mills may shut down,
the plantations may grow up in
weeds, and thousands of people be
without work, but the Bacardi fac
tory at Santiago goes right on turn
ing out its usual $4,000 gallons a
day.
That is typical of human nature.
Business which depends on appetite,
entertainment and fashion always
was, and always will be, the last to
feel the pinch of hard times.
1t isn't what We need, but what
we like, that counts for most. The
great problem of education is to
teach people what they should like.

OUR mayors continue to mess
~ about on the plains Of France.
The latest exploit reported in the
news concerns trip to Vimy Ridge.
According to the cable dispatch,
1.-THE mayors started exploration OF
the trenches. When an effort was
made to hurry them away to keep
up with their schedule, some OF
them became angry and hid in the
dugouts, delaying departure OF the
party
This sounds like a game with dis
tinct possibilities. Let any one OF
the mayors or, if have my way,
make it Mr.. Porter Of Los Angeles,
creep down into a dugout and hide.
There he can sit as long as he
pleases.
No one should be much moved
to shout down at him in merry
tones, ''Peek-a-boo! I see you'll"
Indeed, it is difficult to see most
of these mayors at all even in
strong sunlight. And certain varia-
tons could be neutrality-suspicious.

himself the deepest hole available,

The Virtues Of Alcohol

GPEAKING of prohibition, the
~ twelfth congress of the Inter
national League" of its adversaries
is about to open in Paris, with four
teen countries represented, and with
savantS from about one-quarter of
the globe extolling the virtues of
alcohol from a nutritive, economic
and ethical standpoint.
AS might be expected, Germans
will elucidate the nenefcent effects
Of beer, while Frenchmen will do
as much for wine.
Though no advocate has been
named to defend the American
cocktail, its virtues undoubtedly
will find ample demonstration in
use, since it has become a. world
wide Institution, in spite of beer,
wine or the eighteenth amendment,
as is testified by no less an authority
than Slgnor Bacardi, who continues
to distill the rum that has made his
family famous for four centuries.

Color of the Sky

THE significance of the color of
Il sunrise or sunset comes from
the following facts: When the sun
reodenS the western sky at setting.
1t means that there are no clouds
Tor long distance in the west.
since stormy weather usually sets
In from the west, this indicates clear
weather. The early mist of the next
morning is due to the condensation
OF water yapor as the result of the
cooling which follows clear night.
consequently it is also a good sign
however, the opposite signs indi-
cate clouds to the west and clear
weather to the east. This means
that rainy weather probably is
moving in from the west.
one class Of weather proverbs To
beware Of are those which attempt
TO connect weather with the moon
A good proverb to remember in this
connection, says:
THE moon and the weather
May change together.
But change in the moon
Won't change the weather.
Inls proverb is quite correct. The
moon goes through it's phases
regularly month after month
weather continuously is changing
from fair to stormy and back to
fair. 1t is obvious that there will be
condolences.
But such ideas as the one that
the full moon drives the clouds out
OF the sky have been shown to have
no basis whatsoever in fact.

1t Would Be Possible to
Educate a Child in AU the
Fundamentals With Ne1Cs-
papers.
NEW YORK, June lo.-Foreign
i trade continues to slump. The
volume in April was nearly S45, 000,-
600 less than that in March. Worse
still, it was only about two-thirds
that Of April one year ago.
How much a part foreign trade
plays in our prosperity continues
to be a matter Of dispute, especially
among politicians, but st looks as
though we would get some convinc-
ing proofs before long.
There are people who think that
country can live by itself, and
they are not all in America.
Elevating the tariff has become
the fashion. Whether we started
it, we no longer can claim first
place. What some other govern
ments are doing makes the Smoot-
Hawley bill look like 80 cents.

NEWSPAPERS Improve

CPEAKING of the publication
~ business, the New York Trust
Company calls attention to the fact
that United States newspapers have
a daily circulation of 100000,
which represents an increase of So
per cent during the last ten years.
Contrary to what some people think,
newspapers have improved in quail
ity as well as quantity.
Merely as suggestion Of how
well newspapers are doing their Job,
it would be possible to educate a
child in all the fundamentals with
out using anything else.
The trouble with newspapers is
that people don't read them with
any degree of thoroughnesS.
incidentally, that's the trouble
with books.
Whether we are suffering from
an overdose of printed matter. or
whether we are finding it easier
to get information in other ways,
we are making very poor use of the
reading material at hand.
This was illustrated wildly by an
episode which occurred in Boston
Monday night, when an automobile
occupied by two young men arrested
for driving while drunk, was found
to contain several bundles of pro-
hlbition pamphlets.

TINE progress Of scientific medi-
l. cine is, no doubt, chiefly respon-
sible for the increase in the cost OF
medical education, the increase in
the cost of medical care, the rise OF
specialization, and the tremendous
development of hospitals.
Modern medical education re-
,quires at least eight years of a
young mans life at an annual ex-
pense of $1,000 a year.
Modern scientific diagnosis in a
difficult case demands the use Of a
tremendous amount of scientific ap-
paratus and the application of the
highest medical talent.
In the hospital, such apparatus is
made generally available; in the
hospital, also, the services of many
physicians in various specialties are
easily accessible to the patient.
Hospitals have increased from ap-
proxinlateiy 1000 in 1900 to 5000 in
1910, and to 6,719 in 1880. There
are today almost 100000 beds
available in hospitals, and at least
two-thirds of all of the physicians

Questions and
Answers

Why is it colder at high aIti-
tudes than on the surface Of the
earth?
Because the earth is heated by
the suns rays which penetrate our
belt of atmosphere and strike the
earth, just as they do the glass roof
Of dollhouse. The atmosphere
acts as blanket to retain the heat
generated by the rays Of the sun
striking the earth's surface. The
air is much thicker and heavier
near the earth's surface than at
high attitudes; consequently. at
high attitudes where the air is
thinner. the heat is quickly dissi-
pated into space and it is much
colder. Near the earth's surface
the air blanket keeps the heat
longer.
Which came first, the chicken or
the egg?
All life on the globe today is pre-
sumed to be derived from single
celled animalculae. It is evident.
therefore. that all life is derived
from cells or eggs. The birds,
among other forms, go back to
earlier or simpler forms. In this
sense. therefore. the egg came first.

Tough on Publishers

IF Premier Bennett Of Canada au-
l. thorizes the tariff on periodicals.
recently enacted, some American
publishers are going to discover
what protection" means when
worked the other way.
That tariff provides a duty Of Is
centS pound on periodicals.
It has been calculated by some
sharp that the Saturday Evening
Post, which sells for cents in this
country, would have to bring so
cents in Canada.
Premier Bennett can reduce, or
eliminate the tariff on such mag
azines as are found to be of re-
ligiouS, educational or scientific
value.
Publishers who have built up
large Canadian circulation are hope
full that their output will pass
muster on one or another of the
three heads.
