RATE SURGEONS ACCORDING TO
 THEIR ABILITY
American College of Sur- geOns Has Such a Plan Under Consideration at Their Conference

New York, Oct 14.-(UP)A plan to give every surgeon a profession al rating on results of his opera tions was under consideration to- day by the American College of Surgeons.
 The idea, which is a develop | ment of a system now in effect at the Passavant Memorial hospital of Jacksonville, III, was brought up by pr Carl E. Black of that in- stitution.
 His plan is to establish a uni- form system of marks So every sur geon can be charged with the sur- gical deaths which follow his oper- ations and credited with the sue cessful ones.
 Tn hospitals where the surgical morality rate appears high in con- trast with that of other institu- tions." he said, responsibility then can be fixed and steps taken to eliminate those surgeons who are unfit.''
 In detail, the plan which he preached at the 21st annual con- gress now going on, calls for every surgeons marks to be totaled at the end of a given year. From these totals the general average of the hospital could be obtained this general average would then be list ed with the figures from other hos pitals. Publication of these fig ures, Dr Black said would stimu- late hospitals to do be. CT work and gradually eliminate incompetence.
 The fight against cancer now be- ing waged by the College of Sur geons was described by Bowman c. Crowell of Chicago, director of clinical research. He reported that the process of organizing the coun- try's medical resources into a net work of Cancer clinics is we'll un- der way.
 "The college is convinced" he said, that while awaiting future discovery of more efficient meth ods of treatment of the disease, it is possible effectively to reduce the suffering and mortality from cancer by an organized application of the knowledge that is already ble. He said that there are still around 150,000 deaths every year from cancer with probably two and half times that number of cases under treatment.
 A newly perfected operation which apparently cures the disor- der known during the war as "sol- diers' heart" which until now has baffled physicians. was described by Dr George Grille of the Cleve- land clinic.
 The disease is provoked by the stress of modern civilized life, as we'll as by the stress of war, Dr Grille said. Symptoms include rapid beating of the heart brought on by trivial causes; intermittent nervous excitation and fatigue; sweating, and tremors.
 Physicians know that 1t is caused by excessive stimulation of the adrenal glands, located near the kidneys.
 Dr Grille said he had found what appeared to be a cure for the con- dition. by cutting the nerves through which the adrenal glands receive the stimulation from the brain.

 The state insurance day plan had its birth in Indiana nine years ago and George E. Turner, who is chairman of the arrangements for this years Connecticut insurance day, was a member of the commit tee which arranged that first event of its kind in Indiana. He has as- sisted organizations Tn a number of states in establishing similar an- nual events and has been a speaker at many of these.
 Connecticut's state insurance days have always attracted a large group of insurance men throughout the state and numerous visitors from New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Baltimore. In view of the numerous interesting problems that are facing insurance at this time. it is expected that this years attend ance will be unusually large.

Peiping, (UP)-The new mayor of Peiping, Chou Tawen. has an- nounced that he has obtained $500.000 (silver) to reorganize and encourage the handicraft industry, which employs more than 100, ,000 persons here and Is the source of the city's comparative prosperity. Because of the collapse in silver exchange, buyers from Europe and America have been coming here in larger numbers than ever, and Chinese hand-wrought arti- cles in jewelry, cloisonne, brass, wood and lacquer have displaced similar articles previously bought in Central Europe.

JUDGE MILLER AIRS
VIEWS DRY Law
Says Ordinary Bootlegger Is
mot Dangerous to So
ciety;" Two Sentenced

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 28.-P)-Sen-
fences Of six months each in the Cass
county Jail were given Ed Jennings,
Minneapolis, and Arthur (Chief) Bar
cnson, Fargo, by Judge Andrew Mill
er In United States district court in
Fargo Monday.
The pair, with three others, had
pleaded guilty to liquor law violations
in connection with the Fargo liquor
truck episode Of more than a year ago.
OF the others, l.. G. Quinn and George
McCabe, Fargo, were fined 500 each,
and sentence of John Holser, Fargo,
was deferred until the next term Of
court here. A stay Of execution until
Jan. n was granted Barenson and
Jennings.
Sidney G.. (Jack) Harmon, Fargo.
was sentenced to thirty days In the
county Jail On a liquor charge not in
volved with the others.
In sentencing Jennings and Baren-
son, both OF whom were indicted
jointly and pleaded guilty to the same
charge. operating a still, Judge Miller
said he did not feel the ordinary boot
logger, not dangerous to society.
| should be treated in the same manner
as q man who had committed arson,
murder or robbery.
"The court is familiar with charges
against these men," said Judge Miller.
THE still they were operating was Of
considerable size.
This is not a case where the men
attempted to make money to provide
for their loved ones. It Is q case
where they saw q chance to make big
money and openly violated the law to
do 1t.
still, the court will take into con-
sideration the nature of the crime.
The crime wasn't murder, arson or
robbery. It was merely a violation Of
the prohibition laws.
1.-THE penalty for violation of the
liquor laws is such that in extreme
cases, where defendants are notori-
ously bad and will shoot to kill If
necessary, they a be severely pun
ished. I believe in giving the maxi
mum sentence in such cases, not be-
cause the defendants broke the law
but because that happened to be the
law they were caught breaking. How
ever. I do not believe the ordinary
b~ootlegger, not dangerous to society,
should be treated in a manner similar
to the murderer"
Both Barenson and Jennings were
granted a stay Of execution until Jan.
