OLDEST PRACTICING PHYSICIAN
CELEBRATES HIS Tooth BIRTHDAY
DR.. Merritt H. Eddy of Middlebury Vt. Is Credited
With Ushering More Than 1000 Babies Into World

He first studied medicine during the
Civil War when he expected to be-
come an Army surgeon. He was gradu-
ated from the Burlington Medical Col
lege in 1865 Those were the days,
he told interviewers, when nurses were
unknown; there were few hospitals;
ether was not in general use; the steth-
oscope was not included in a physi-
cian's equipment, and the fingers were
used to determine fever.
Or. Eddy charged IS cents for his
first call after becoming doctor. He
said he would have charged a dollar
but the man was poor.
DR.. Eddy probably has ushered more
babies into the world than any other
doctor in New England. He lost count
some years ago but the number would
run considerably over 1000.

WILL invoke PACT
IN NLET|C|A DISPUTE
Stimson to Send Note to Peru
Reminding Her of KeI-
Iogg Treaty.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
With Colombian gunboats two days
distant from Peruvian troops at Leticia
on the upper Amazon. Secretary Of
State Stimson said today the United
States would send an immediate note
to Peru reminding her Of her duty un-
der the Kellogg pact to settle the dis
pute peacefully.
At the same time. the United States
was moving to marshal world opinion
against the impending conflict over pos
session of the tiny jungle Fort. Stimson
consulted last night with the Ambassa-
dors Of Great Britain, Japan, Italy, Ger
many and France, urging support oil
the Kellogg pact in response to plea
from Colombia.
Contracting Diplomats.
Stimson said Assistant Secretary White
was getting In touch with diplomatic
representatives of as many as possible
of the countries adhering to the pact
In an effort to avert fight.
The United States through Ambas-
sador Dearing at Lima has already
notified Peru'o of support of Brazirs pro-
posal before settlement Of the dispute
through negotiations at Rio de Janeiro.
Stimson said today the new note invok-
ing the Kellogg pact would back up this
announced support.
Last September Peruvian Nationals
seized Leticia. which was ceded to Co.
lombia by treaty in 1922.
Peru viii Defend Nationals.
Peru has indicated her intention to
defend her nationals, asking meanwhile
for q revision of the 1922 treaty. Co.
lombia has steadily insisted the oues-
ton was strictly an internal one.
Secretary Stimson's marshalins OF
world powers to support the Kellogg
BRAND pact in connection with the dis
pute is similar to actions taken twice
before, the first time in 1929, when
Soviet Russia and Chinese forces
clashed in Northern Manchuria as a
result of railway disputes.
He at that time asked representa-
tives of Japan. Great Britain Italy.
Germany and France that they call
attention of Russia and China to the
fact that both Of the contending powers
were signatories to the pact.
China and Russia later made formal
statements that neither would resort to
war unless attacked.
Articles Stressed by U. s.
The article of the pact stressed par
ticularly by Stimson then and later in
connection with the outbreak Of hos
tilities between Japan and China Ill
Southern Manchuria reads
THE high contracting parties agree
that the settlement or solution of all
disputes or conflicts of whatever nature
or of whatever origin they may be
which may arise among them shall
never be sought except by pacific
means"
In the threatened clash between Peru
and Colombia, in which Colombia has
now invoked the Kellogg BRAND pact.
Secretary Stimson is again endeavoring
to rally world opinion in support of
outlawry of war, so the battle which
threatens in the Upper Amazon to oust
the Peruviaus from Leticia may be
averted.
The League OF Nations also has the
Leticia case under consideration and it
seems likely that general movement
will be inaugurated on the part OF
signatories Of the Kellogg BRAND pact
to bring about peaceful settlement.

Due to financial affairs, he took

ing me I was the only woman he
ever would love. God knows 1 love
him.
One day my husband came and
asked me to go back with him. 1
knew it would be the same thing
over again and I refused. When
his brother found out that I had
talked to my husband, it hurt him
terribly and we q%uarreled. That
night he left and 1 have not heard
from him since and know nothing
of his whereabouts.
Now a year has passed and l
haven't been able to rest, not even
an hour, any day since we parted.
Friends tell me he does not love

waiting, longing, praying each day
for his return. Do you think ne
really cares and that he'll ever
come back?

Answer think your young lover
is a pretty unstable proposition and
that his behavior is extremely
shabby all the way round. I do not
believe in the reality of his love for
you at all, but think he was moved
by neurotic motives at which We
only can guess.
Possibly some obscure childish
grudge against the older brother
who made him feel small in COM
parison moved him to prove his SUI
periority by taking his brothers
wife. Very likely he was unconscious
of his own motives and believed in
his love at the time.
His unreasonable spasm of jeal-
ousy at your interview with the
brother he betrayed, and his easy
disappearance from the whole COM
plication, supports my theory. 1t
