The Navy Directory. bearing the
date of April 1, has just been de-
livered at the Navy Department, but
1t contains information several months
old and is practically useless, officials
assert. Not only is a large share of
the information it contains out Of
date now, but almost all will be after
this month. during which hundreds
of officers will be moved to new posts
The Navy Register, contend the
authorities, is even in worse shape
About July 1 the Register will be
delivered. but it will be dated Janu-

ton for this was compiled some time
ago, telling where officers were then
assigned.
Ordinarily the Register is issued
once a year and the Directory four
times annually. But there was no
issue of either Directory or Register
for New Year, because of economy

SURGEONS URGE
PAY IN ADVANCE
Extension of Plan Advised
in Report Of Service
Board.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, June 11.-Medical treat
ment on a pay-in- advance basis is
feasible and should be developed fur
ther, the American College of Sur
geons has been told in a report by its
Medical Service Board.
Four population groups for whom
more adequate medical service should
be made available were recognized:
The INDECENT, the uneducated and
credulous members of the community;
those, who because Of limited re-
sources are unable, unaided, to meet
the costs of serious illness and hos
pitalization: those living in remote
districts where adequate medical serv-
ice is not obtainable.
The care of the INDECENT, the report
said. should be a direct obligation
upon the community and physicians
fulfilling this public service should be
remunerated.
The plan for prepayment Of hos
pitalization should be considered as
the first project for an average COM
munity to undertake. The College of
Surgeons was advised that certain
principles should be established; one
that organization of plans for pre-
payments must be under the control
OF the medical profession, another
that a patient must always have COM
plete freedom of choice of physician,
and also that such payments should
be free from Intervention of COM
mercial intermediary organizations
operating for profit.

recognition Of the incurability of the

The usual treatment for diseased or
gans is to cut them out and throw
them away, in the supposed interest
Of the rest of the body. This Is de-
structive treatment, however. and
never can be in any sense construc-
tive or conservative.
It is much more to the point to
know what has caused the so-called
surgical condition of the kidney and
to remove this cause. The body will
then restore the remaining tissues Of
the kidney to normal, the only pos
sibly constructive form of treatment
for any diseased condition of any
organ or tissue of the entire body.
1t is true, of course, that we do
very well with but one kidney, for we
have a large margin in kidney func-
ton between what we must do and
what we can do in the way of elimina-
ton of nitrogenous debris every day.
We may succeed in fully eliminating
all debris coming by way OF the kidney
with but one organ, but we can more
easily do so with two healthy organs.
And this is surely as nature intended
or we would have been created with
one kidney instead of two!
Surgery presupposes that in every
case of pus infection of any part Of
the body germs of pus have found
their way into the body from the ex-
terror, baseless supposition.
Inf1ammatory conditions developing
inside the body create pus cells as
necessary corollary of the inflamma-
tory process. When we look on in
fections from this standpoint the
whole theory Of vicarious immunity
through vaccination or serums goes by
the board, with nothing whatever to
support it except wholly improved
theory.
Germs generate spontaneously in

ancestors have reached a greater
length, but only rare ones have this
distinction. The average length is
IL inches.
Sea robins are, as rule, reddish
brown, the crown of the head being
redder than the body. Irregular
blotches and bands of light and dark
appear over the body. The under
part is dirty white or pale yellow.
Look for the characteristic dusky
spot, which Is always to be found on
the first dorsal fin, between the fourth
and fifth spine. The second dorsal is
striped or marbled, with pale and dark
markings, and the pectorals are red
dish brown, though they are some
times black above and slaty below,
while their lower, feeler-like rays are
brown at their base and white or
orange tipped. The ventrals are
white.
Use water colors when you are
placing the markings on this fish for
your scrapbook, and you will realize
that the sea robin is very snowy in
his red armor.
You will see the robins in shoal
water along the North American coast
from the Bay of Fundy to South
Carolina. They are rarely seen north
of Cape Cod.
When you see a red-headed fish,
with tapering body and fan-like
pectoral fins. don't mistake it for a
sculpin. Look at the robins big head,
incased in bony plates, and his small
mouth, fiat snout, large ventrals and
the three lower rays of each pectoral.
They are separate from the rest of
the fin and are reduced into three
independent feelers, that open at the
tips, which is very unusual thing
even for a sea robin.
In Summer the robin may be found
close below the tide mark, or it may
strike him to go down 40 fathc.ns.
Like other Warm-water fish, tl1y
leave the coast in October and reap
pear in April, when the weather is
more genial. 1t is probable they go
into deeper water where the tempera-
ture is more to their liking.
When they bury themselves in the
sand they leave only their red heads
exposed. Here the hunter lies, his
bright eyes watching every small ami

tom. 1t is said they go hunting"

the weeds and sand, to cause small

THE coat of arms picture was
found in the burial ground of St.
Peters Church, Philadelphia, on a
tombstone dedicated to the Sims fam
lily. 1t is the coat of arms used by the
Sims, or Symes, family of Northamp-
ton County, England, granted 1892.
One line of Sims in America was
represented by John Syme, who came
to this country in 1893, descendant
of the Yetherham Tower Symes of
Roxburgshire, Scotland. He changed
the final in his name to S, and later
the name became Sims. John Sims
died in Uniontown, Pa, in 1921 Many
of his descendants are living in Penn
sylvania and also in many other
States.
This family was also represented in
Virginia and descendants are now
widely scattered throughout the

"HIS pattern for a coat dress
gives you an easy opportunity
to make a stunning frOCk in
L one of the modish, softteX
tured woods for Winter. AS the
newest fabrics are nothing if not
animated. the pattern you select for
them should be simple to the point
of severity. so that the loneliness of
the material will be given right of
way
The first choices in woods for late
Winter and early Spring are the
gigantic plaids the bold checks and
the novelty stripes. The tendency is
toward more conservative colorS, car
ried out in exaggerated designs. Navy
blue and pale beige come in 8-lnch
combinations of plaids. And russet
stripes alternate with warm clay in
variations of widths. Checked ma
terials reiterate the charm that is
possible when bias sleeves are set into
a straight-hne dress, with deeply cut
armholeS.
The venturesome tendency of the in
coming woods and sports silks lays
stress on the fundamental simplicity
of dress construction. Subtle details
of cut and the elimination of unnec-
essary seamlines give new daring to
our street clothes this season. For
instance, the dress in the sketch is
cut in a plain, unbroken line from
shoulder seam to hem, both back and
front. The wrap-around treatment is
cut to give close neckline when but
