Trend to More Simple
Medical Terms Lauded
From the Schenectady Gazette.

From the Schenectady Gazette.
The trend toward simplicity, If any
thing may be considered simple that
fills $50 pages and lists from 10000 to
10000 titles, Is shown in the new clas-
sification of diseases adopted by the
national conference on nomenclature
of disease recently held at the New
York Academy of Medicine.
Some of the most distinguished mem
bers of the medical profession were
present at the conference, coming from
all parts of the country to add the
weight of their opinion in the matter
under consideration. 1t has long been
felt that the use of Latin and Greek
In naming disease is not entirely good.
While physicians and nurses themselves
are educated to understand these for
eign terms, they are usually puzzle to
patients and their families
The old practice of mystifying pa
tients in regard to what ails them is
changing. Sick people usually prefer
to know what Is the matter with them,
and, excepting in cases where such
knowledge may prove injurious to them,
1t is right that they should be informed
The custom Of calling disease after
its discoverer Is giving way, where pos
sible, to some more descriptive title.
The prime object of the new CLASH
fication, however, Is to establish uni
formity throughout the country in the
listing of all diseases in a clearly under
standable manner.
AS at present compiled it will be
given years test in hospitals and by
physicians in public and private prac-
tice, also in the Army and Navy and
Veterans Bureau and all branches of
Ett 10 rtyfnA AnNy ed
which may be found desirable at the
end of this trial period will be made
before 1t is permanently adopted.
All known diseases are listed, with
numerals used to indicate the classes
of disease according to the organ af-
fected, as we'll as its nature This will
tend to lessen confusion in medical
records and will aid the physician and
nursing attendants.

Summer may, after all, bear political
fruit. If 1t does, and the German
American voters are inclined. to be
friendly with the Hoover administration,
they are likely to be force to be
reckoned with in the coming campaign.
They have held balance of power in
many States.
Despite talk Of opposition to the re-
nomination OF President Hoover, the
leaders Of the Republican party are
convinced that he will and should be
the nominee Dsgruntled Republicans
from the West and some from the
| wet" East do not accept this view Of
the situation. On the Democratic side
of the presidential race, however, the
situation is filled with possibilities, al
though the chances favor the nomina-
ton of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Governor
of New York, for President. The am
bitions of all the candidates will be de-
termined by the close of June.
The new year is likely to see more
bitter fight between the vets and dryS
than has taken place for a dozen years.
1t will be the more bitter because the
vets have made threads not expected
by the drys and the drys have buckled
on their armor for the fray.
One resolution at least both the major
political parties should make as the new
year begins-nOt to play politics at the
expense of the American people. Both
parties have their duties to perform in
the Congress. Such legislation as Is
needed should be put through promptly.
1t should seek the best interests OF the
people as p whole. 1t is no time to
serve the selfish interests of special
groups of the citizens.

Wilbur Is Willin'

While not overly enthusiastic about the vice presidential boom that Connecticut democrats are starting for him, Governor Wilbur L. Cross is apparently willing to abide by the decision of the national con- vention. According to reports that came from the meeting last week of Governor Gross with various party leaders there will be no objection from the governor if his name is suggested for this office. We hope though that before the Connecticut dele gates go pledging themselves to Cross-for Viee-President campaign they will decide to give him his deserved testimonial by placing him in nomination for the presidency.
 There is no doubt that Governor Cross would prove a popular candidate for sec ond place on the democratic ticket. We feel sure that his reputation as Dean of the Yale Graduate School and former Yale professor has caused him to become known in every state in the Union. Add to that his amazing success as politician upon his first attempt and excellent campaign mater ial' is provided the democratic party Of course his ultimate selection for the above honor would depend upon the choice of presidential candidate. If it is Governor Roosevelt of New York then the second place cannot be filled by a Connecticut man.
 If geographical considerations are being cast aside more and more of recent years where appointments and elections are con- cerned we have yet to see the convention that would depart from the hard and fast rule that the two candidates on the national ticket be from widely separated parts of the nation. Both democrats and republicans ob serve this rule faithfully. In way it is good idea. We hope the day will never come when one or both parties will have to turn to the same state or to the same group of states for the two candidates it intends to nominate.
 However. if the democrats turn to the South or West for their presidential eand- date. we see no obstacles in the path of Governor Cross unless they are ones that he erccfs of his own accord. By next June he may have decided that he would prefer tc re- main the gubernatorial candidate of the dem oerafic party in Connecticut rather than seek national office. Perhaps after all Con- ne<ticut will get vice-presidentisl eandi fate. R threatened tc have one in 1928 when Repr<xnsative John Q. T'iIson was
