Failure Of the District CommiS.
sioners to appoint the % members
Of the District Alcohol Beverage
Control Board may result in fur
ther delay in the date on which
sale Of liquor will become legal
here.
Ever since the ABC board was
named, almost two weeks ago, the
Commissioners have been dead
locked on the appointment of the
inspectors and clerical workers
who will make up the control
board staff.
Under the law, no license can be
issued by the board until the prem
iSeS have been visited and care
fully inspected by board inspec-
tor.
AS only eight inspectors are pro-
vided for, and there are several
hundred places to be inspected,
this delay will undoubtedly result
in putting off the licensing date
Of many Of the places.
The Commissioners agreed last
night to accept the recommends
tion Of Chairman George w.
Offutt, Of the ABC board, for
staff members.
Mr.. Offutt and the other two
board members, Mrs. William
Beverly Mason and Isaac Cans,
have started going over the list OF
nearly 1000 applications for the
| Jobs. but as vet have not been able
to make a choice.
Proposed Change
Recommendations for amend
ments to the District liquor con-
troll law, as suggested by the
President and the Department Of
Justice, were sent to the House
District Committee by the District
Commissioner today.
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride went to the Capitol and dis
cuSsed the proposed changes in
the local law with members Of the
committee.
One Of the changes recon-
mended by the President was to
remove the provision that only
one store of a chain grocery
concern may have a license. The
Commissioners made no recon-
mendation on this as this
point was not contained in their
original recommendation to Con-
greSS.
Define ''SOIicitOr"
Another point discussed was
the recommendation Of the De-
partment Of Justice that a code
Of fair competition be drafted.

from the New Orleans surgeon. one
wonders whether the scheme is prac-
tical. The pain of acute appendicitis
is frequently so slight that the pa
tient does not think there is any,
thing serious, and the physician is
rot consulted early in the disease.
] notice a tendency among sur
geons lately to advocate delayed op-
eration-to wait until the acute
symptoms have subsided. In a re-
port read before the section on sur
gerry of the American Medical asso-
citation it was stated: "a comparison
of end results in two groups of pa
tients of this type when the ap-
-endix has ruptured) by immediate
operation and by delayed operation,
shows much better results in the
group treated by delayed operation"
This teaching goes back to the
doctrine of one of the greatest Amer
lean surgeons, A. J. Ochsner, who
advocated that unless the patient

According to reports from the Ay-

handle the pitching duties for them.
A new short stop has also been signed
to take over that post for them in

must wait a few more days.
Meanwhile two. outstanding queries
are aking shae, as suggestive of
what ok are thinking about.
1.-What is likely to be the effect
Of the blurring Of the distinctions be-
tween industrial crafts, due TO in
creasing mechanization, which prom
ises to make it easer than ever before
for a worker to change from one
trade to another?
Docs the Iesson OF the drought
mply the necessity for a wholesale
making over of the agricultural and
pastoral scheme of things in whole
groups of states?-for the actual mi
grafton of large populations ?-for the
practical abandonment of certain Sec
tiCns and the corresponding filing Gp
of others? And, if so, what will be it's
influence upon the life Of the Ameri-
can people? Or, if not so, then what?
Craft lines, of course, will not com
pletely disappear in industry, but it
is suggested that they may fade con-
siderably-in fact, alreacy have done
so For example, it is conceivable that
q textile worker can quite readily be
absorbed into an automobile plant or
vice versa. No long apprenticeship is
required to equip him for either form
of employment-just as any able
codied individual of ordinary intelli-
gence very speedily can be taught to
pilot q street car.

In the mountain section, farmers are

done.
Down esxA in Beaufort county, the
agent remarks, crops are very good.
Weather conditions have been favor
able since last spring and every to-
bacco signer will make more than his
allotment on the acreage allowed"
Only the early truck growers suf-
fered losses this year. Many of them
express disappointment at the failure
of the government to make truck a
basic crop an dto work out something
more than marketing agreements as
a basis for handling the crop. The
truck growers say the adjustment pro-
grams with cash crops have hurt their
business in that more food crops were

Resort to Surgery Delayed
In Appendicitis Treatment

delayed. Nowadays many surgeons
would like to carry out this plan,
but are compelled to do otherwise
by the patients family, who demand
operation as soon as they hear the
word appendicitis.
The recently publicized story of
the patient with appendicitis and
peritonitis on the Galapagos islands,
whom the surgeons did not reach for
several days. and when they did
reach him delayed operation for sew
era! days more. should teach the les
son that such delay is often wise.
that such cases do not invariably die,
and that to put pressure on sur
geon to operate Immediately is un-
wise.
/ am frequently asked what ap-
pendicitis was like in the old days
and what it was called, because the
name appendicitis" is of relatively
recent origin. 1t was called "typhi-
litis" and "perityphilitis". and in
spite of the fact that abdominal sur
gerry was unknown. the patients did
not always Gle. After Doctor Alonzo
Clock introduced his opium treat
ment. the results were very good
A most important lesson is that
the worst thing to do for appendicitis
is to take cathartic. And since any
stomachache may be appendicitis, a
cathartic should never be given for
stomachache. Druggists are bad Of
tenders in this respect: if they must
dispense and are consulted about
stomachache. they should dispense
paregoric, not epson salts.

the main factor Is the remarkably
large number of symbols Of American
tradition that dot Poland.
One of the greater surprises en-
countered by the tourist is the tomb
Of Joel Barlow, pioneer American
poet. He lies buried in the little town
Of Zarnowiec, near Cracow, where he
died in 1912. On the outskirts Of
Cracow stands the magnificent Kos

shares with Poland her greatest ma

mound is small pile of American
earth taken from the battlefields Of
Yorktown and Saratoga.

Plans for Winter.

NEW YORK, october 13.-Mayor
E. G. Sewell of Miami arrived here
recently to perfect plans for an enter
tainment which he hopes will take
50OOC0 visitors to the Florida resort
this Winter. Plans include night
motorcycle racing, dog racing, jai-alai,
horse racing, golf, polo, tennis, big
game fishing, bowling, motorboat rae
ing and yachting.
We'll have 80 days of horse racing
at our two tracks, Tropical Park and
Hialeah," Mayor Sewell said, land golf
tournaments of national Importance.
I'VE have four dredges at work in
the harbor deeping our channel to 80
feet and widening it to 500 feet.
Miami has enjoyed one Of the best
Summers in its history. Building has
hit a new high peak"
Last Winter we had close to half
a million visitors who spent $38, ,000,-
900 in the greater Miami area" Mayor
Sewell continued. This year we an
ticipate an even greater crowd"
Two hundred hotels, $500 apart
ment buildings and 5000 furnished
cottages have been put in the pink
of condition for the Winter visitors,
he said.
Attractions include the $4,000
Miami Biltmore open golf tournament
in December, the Miami All-American
air races in January and the Miami
Nassau yacht races for sailing craft
over 80 feet long.
Speaking of Miamis increasing
number of European visitors, Mayor
Sewell said they are being attracted
largely by efforts to develop a Con-
tinental atmosphere
"In two hours by plane one can be
in Nassau or Cuba and enjoy all the
embellishments of foreign country"
he said. Rio De Janeiro is IA days
away by boat from Miami and less
by plane"
Mayor Sewell said an increasing
number of visitors go to Florida solely
to fish. I'VE have 500 varieties Of fish
in our waters, which puts us on a
par with the variety Of big game
hunting to be found in Africa" he
said.

TRACES OF ROME
FOUND IN LONDON
Model Outlines Ancient City;
Travellers Can See Wall Which
Guarded Old Town.

LONDON, October 13.-Visitors to
London this Fall may become ac-
quainted with a historic phase of the
city practically unknown to the pres
ent generation and pertaining to a
district seldom visited by strangers.
In the All Hallows Church, close to
the Tower of London, and now open
to the public, is the newly completed
great model of Roman London" as
| 1t existed in the early part of the
fourth century.
THE total distance around the sec
ton is little more than three miles
but a whole day may be profltably set
aside for it," says Victor A. Bennett,
representative Of the Great Western
Railway of England, whose line is
featuring the historic, educational
and interesting section Of London and
England.
With the aid of little imagina-
ton a walk around the walls of
Londinium will provide tourists
memories of an ancient age that may
last a lifetime"
The original city walls enclosed an
area of some $50 acres. The six
gates Of entry from the surrounding
country" were Algate, Bishopsgate,
Crioplegate, Aldersgate, Newgate and
Ludgate.
Tie tour Of Londinium may begin
with the undercroft Of the church
itself, where portion of the floor
of a Roman shop dating back to the
middle of thS first century. is under
meath the ediflce.
"Aldgate" may be reached by the
way of the Minories, famed street
just outside the original wall, where
tablet denotes the actual size Of
the gate.
Along the Strand. past st. Clement
Danes Church, is Roman Bath Alley,
where a Roman bath still fed by its
original spring water may be seen.
