Today's Science
by DAVID DIETZ :

THE rise and progress of American medicine con-
stitutes one of the brightest chapters of the ma
tons recent histor". Only generation ago, Amer
lean eyes were turned across the sea. No medical
man could call his education complete unless he
had spent some time in study in Europe
Today the pendulum is swinging the other yay
European savants have their eyes en- America Stu
dents are beginning to the Atlantic from east
to west as well as from west to east. American
medical schools rank with the best in the world
American physicians and surgeons are as skilfu as
any in the world. American scientists are leading
the way in many fields of medical research
The story Of medical progress on this continent
IS told in American Medicine" written by DR. Henry
E Sigerest, the William H. WEIGH professor of the
history of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University
DR. Sigerest IS already well known for his Man and
Medicine" and his THE Great Doctors"
American Medicine" is written with the same
charming style and the breadth Of interest that
characterized these other books. Dr. Sgerest under
stands the art Of making himself understandable
and interesting to the layan without the least sac
rfce OF scoary thoroughness or scientific accuracy.
nR. sIGEREST begins the story of American
~ medicine prior to the arrival Of the white man
on this continent. He gives a comprehensive and
interesting account Of the curious customs of the In
dian medicine men,
Next Re discusses the crude medical practices of
colonial times. From this point he traces the de-
Velopment Of all branches Of medicine, the work Of
the practcing physician, the development Of surgery
the growth Of hospitals medical schools, nursing
schools dentistry and research institutions
A special feature Of the book consists Of the
biographical sketches Of such great pioneers in Amer
lean medicine as Rush, Drake Beaumont Gross.

3 CITY GIRLS NAMED
FOR FOLLIES TRYOU7
Fannie BriCe Among Judges
for Contest.

Three Indianapolis girls we're Sc
lected from the field of entrants in
the ziegfeld Follies try out at the
Indiana Roof Ballroom last night,
by board of judges studded with
ziegfeld stars.
Fannie Brice, Willie and Eugene
Howard. Virginia Howard and Roger
Davis from the cast of the show,
and Jack Young, company man
ager; Arthur Singer, assistant man
ager, and Dennis Murray, stage di-
rector, composed the judging group
which chose the three girls who will
appear for a final addition this af-
ternoon in English's theater at 4:30.
Those chosen were Mary Cath
crime Amato, 215 S. Davidson-s t.;
Ernette Mueseler, 1886 Broadway
and Betty Lou Miller, 205 E. 24th-st
If the addition proves successful
one or all of these girls get a con-

among 26 journalism students who
had been temporarily suspended.
Students still are justly proud of
the new campus buildings and
various appurtenances-such as
the Huey P Long swimming pool,
largest in the country, and the
school of dramatic art with it's

KERN TO PASS
ON Gas OFFER
Sullivan to Leave New
Proposal to Successor,
Is Indication,

Not until Mayor ELECT John w.
Kern takes Office will any decision
be made on the offer of the Indiana
Gas Transmission Co., subsidiary
of the Columbia Gas Co., to sell ma
tural gas to the city or to the Citi-
zens Gas Co., it was indicated to-
day.
The offer was made yesterday in
a letter received by Mayor Reginald
H. Sullivan, but we'll informed City
Hall observers believe that Mayor
Sullivan will leave all action to his
successor.
The company, which was given
the right to run a pipe line across
Marion County few years ago, OBJ
tains its supply from the Texas Pan
handle fields.
The Indiana company was formed
to connect with the Missouri Kansas
pipe line at the Illinois Indiana bor-
der. The letter suggested that any
plan for serving natural gas to In
dianapoliS must reduce rates, pro-
vide an adequate supply and protect
existing plant investments.

While the campus buZZed with
this story, four of the student
editors were asked by the univer-
sity to resign, and three others
quit voluntarily. Thus the CEN
sorship finally brought some
measure of student revolt, where
Huey's parading and band lead
ing had not.
THE incident, at first attracting
l. little notice, started a series
Of explosions which has aroused
universities throughout the coun-
try and raised the issue, not only
of freedom of the press, but of
freedom of thought in the COL
leges.
Five members of The Reveille
staff now have been expelled from
the university and two others
suspended indefinitely. In affi-
davits, they charge Senator Long
with responsibility for the censor
ship. AS one result, the Southern
Association of Colleges and Sec
Ondary Schools is considering re-
moval of L. S. U. from it's &C
credited list. But the L. S. U.
student council voted to uphold
the faculty.

A SOPHOMORE in the Univer-
IA sity School of Commerce, D.
R. Norman, was responsible for
the Reveille incident.
Writing to the paper about the
mass meeting called by the Sen
ator to elevate a gridiron star to
the Senate, he said:
what a mockery to constitu-
tional government and democracy
to elect by mass meeting men,
Der of Louisiana's governing
body" young Norman wrote, yet
that is all right. 1t was only a
burIesque. What kept this action
from moving out of the category
of a burlesque into serious
mockery of our legislative body?"
It was while Huey was parading
around the Senate chamber in

the recent session that he saw
the letter over the shoulder of a
student who was reading proof on
it. In his bluff way he asked what
it was, and appropriated it. He
blew up when he had read it.
He wasted no time IN getting
school authorities into action.
They ordered the issue of the
newspaper destroyed, so the staff,
assembling at night upon instruc-
lions, performed its duty. The
story leaked out and subsequently
a few copies of the paper which
he / escaped destruction turned up
and Mr.. Norman got his case be-
fore the public.

gestures by France to end, if pos
sible, the tension now paralyzing
Europe.
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval
is seen as the chief artisan of
these new enterprises, with, how
ever, the complete backing of Pre-
mier Flandin and his govern
ment.
Both long have been advocates
of rapprochement with Germany
if such thing could be brought
about honorably on a live-and-
let-live basis.
When the late Aristide BRAND,
Frances man of peace" was
head of the government, both M.
Laval and M. Flandin were in his
cabinet. When M. Laval became
prime minister in 1881, M. BRAND
was named minister of foreign
affairs.
Today Foreign Minister Laval
is said to be carrying out the plan
of his predecessor, M. Barthou, to
bind together the nations OF Eu-
rope by a series of non-aggreSsion
pacts, tempered, at the same time,
by the ideas of Aristide BRAND.

Of the Interior, PWA administra-
tor, petroleum dictator, and ex-
ecutive of a score of other agen-
cieS, once was a law partner of
Richberg.
They had built up a thriving
practice when suddenly Richberg
threw down his books, locked his
desk, and went out to start a cru
SADIE against Sam insult, Chicago
politicians and the big business
leaders who controlled them.
And he was still a crusading
lawyer-a!S chief attorney for the
Railroad NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. he
came to Washington.
No wonder that cold Shivers ran
down the spinal columns of bust
ness. No wonder that several
Tory groups adopted as their bat
tie cry: "OuSt Richberg!"
ID ICEBERG has changed a lot
IN since then and now enjoys
reverse praise and vituperation.
Business calls him wise guy"
while his old labor friends scarce
ly speak to him.
The change has made Richberg
the No. 2 man in the Administra-
ton; eventually it will cause his
downfall.
1t is hard to diagnose the rea-
sons for this change. But it is
not hard to diagnose the reasons
- why he became Assistant Presi-
dent"
Richberg is one of the ablest
men around Roosevelt. He is as
quick as lightning. He has a pro-
found background. He has a pow
erful perSonality-charm, under
standing, a sense of humor. No
matter how much you may dis
agree with Richberg you can't help
liking him.
But perhaps more important
than all these, Richberg sees eye
to-eye with the President. Like
Roosevelt, Richberg essentially is
a middle-o -the-road man. AS
he recently described himself:
MY liberalism is less radical
than it is reputed to be, and
more liberal than some say it is"
That is penetrating self-analysis
Richberg is neither anti-labor, nor
pro-industry. Actually he is
among the Presidents left" adj
visers. But he is so much more
conservative than he used to be,
that showers of labor abuse have
been heaped upon his head.

"A berg's job is that of chief CO.

The former is desperately need
ed, and Richbcrg should be able
to do it we'll.
The latter he also does convinc-
ingly. but 10 cne can do it with
complete success
His is a job that can not last.
1t can not last partly because
Richberg has changed too many

continue to be Assistant Presi-

but he shuff1eS and reshuff1es con-
stantly.
The title Assistant President"
rankleS Richberg. He would like
to shelve it. But he has one great
goal ahead. He has told friends
that his dreams are fixed on the
august tribunal Of the Supreme
Court.
And when, sooner or later, he
steps out as Assistant President"
that probably is where he will go.
