medicine has come directly from
the great discoveries in the So
called pure sciences, particularly
from physics, chemistry, and phys
iology. For example, electricity
has furnished us X-rays; from the
telephone came the modern steth-
oscope; with the microscope. which
reached its present perfection
about the time OF our Civil War,
we have discovered and studied
what is called the cellular struc-
ture Of animal and vegetable life
besides the interesting collection
Of living things known as gems Sc
which we consider now to be the
cause Of most of our feyers. Chem
istry has refined the useful cid
drugs and given us many new
ones; more than that it has made
surgery comparatively painless, and
germ-free surgery possible. Ply
cholcgy the science of the mind,
is building up today a marvellous
system Of healing for nervous dis
orders and mental diseases.
Romance of Medicine
The romance of modern medicine
lies back of the doctors office;
back of the operating table. back
even of the consulting room, in the
research laboratory Of the scien-
tist. Whether the results ever
reach the public eye or ear or not,
the research goes on, and the skill
tul physician bases his treatment
Of a familiar disease on the patient
and painstaking Investigations car
ried on week after week and month
after month in biological and
chemical laboratories.

Wilson Students Complete Essays
On Various Health Subjects

Wilson school students are writ
ing essays on health subjects in
observance of national child health
day May /. Several of the best
ones have been submitted to the
Post-Press for publication.
The following essay, Medical
Progress was written by Ear
Rex, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Don
Rex.
Hippocrates, the greatest Of the
old Greek physicians, is often call
ed the father Of medical science"
Hippocrates used temples as hos
pitfalls which had a full measure
of air, water, and sunshine. While
the patients offered petitions to
their heathen gods, they, were
treated for their ailments by Hip
pocrates and his disciples. One
OF his discoveries was that certain
diseases could be traced by listen
ing to the sounds made III the
chest of a person, but his knoWl-
edge did not become really useful
until 1000 years later He bound
his students by a solemn oath to
behave with honor and never to
divulge a Sick-room secret. His
writings are on epidemics, air and
water, and diet and hygiene.
The science of medicine is div
ided up into three arts-diag-
nosis, treatment, and preventive
medicine. In plain English these
may be translated into Q) what
ails you, 90 how to relieve it, and
go how to prevent its occurrence
TO others and yourself Up to the
nineteenth century the second div
ision was by far the best develop
ed; during that time the first
grew nightly; and as a national
result the third is now becoming
the greatest Of all. Advance in

FAVORED
 AT PRINCETON
BY HENRY SUPER United Press Staff Correspondent

Princeton. N. J., June 13.-(UP). Forrest (Spec) Towns of the Uni- versity of Georgia, whose speciality is the l20-yard high hurdles, was the best bet among the 34 entries in the Princeton invitational track and field meet to break @ world rec ord today.
 Usual interest was centered in the mile classic between Gene Venzke of Pennsylvania, Bill Bonthron of Princeton and Glenn Cunningham of Kansas.
 Towns was the favorite to beat out Sam Allen of Oklahoma Baptist and Al Moreau of Marksville, La, who holds the high hurdles record jointly with Percy Beard.
 The only other record which was conceded Q chance of being broken was the quarter mile.
 Winter showing of Eddie O'Brien of Syracuse and k.5 triumph in the I. 0. A. 400 meters this spring, make him the favorite.
 However, the Syracuse meteor will be pressed hard to win from Jimmy Duvalle of Los Angeles, Ray Filing wood of the University of Chicago, John Hoffstetter of Dartmouth and Glenn Hardin of Louisiana State. The first three places automatically qualify for the eastern Olympic semi-finals at Harvard two weeks hence.

!. s. WIGHTMAN TEAM TRAILSIN
 BRITISH TEST
American Net Stars Must Put on Real Rally to
 Keep Famous Trophy
BY STUART CAMERON fVJniked PPeaN 9nOrts EditOrl

wimbledon, Eng, June 13.--(UP). With a stubborn, uphill fight ahead of them, the United States Wightmar cup forces opened their battle to retain the treasured tennis trophy in the final matches today against England.
 America started the day trailing, i-2, the identical position 1t held at the start of the concluding days matches a year ago at Forest Hills, N. r. Then the United States staged a dramatic rally to win three out of four matches and retain the cup for the sixth straight year.
 Uncle Sams invaders must do the same thing today to keep the cup. Katherine Stammers, the left-hand- ed British ace, and Dorothy Round, prim Sunday school Teacher, dupli- cated their 1895 opening day tri- umphs yesterday by defeating Helen Jacobs, Berkeley, Calf, and Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Fabyan, Brookline, Mass.
 Miss Stammers won from Miss Jacobs, 12-10, 6-1, and Miss Round beat Mrs. Fabyan, 6-3, 6-4. The dou- bles team of Carolin Babcock, Los Angeles, and Mrs. John Van Ryn, Philadelphia, saved the United States from a complete rout yes- terday by turning back the favored British pair, Misses Nancy Lyle and Evelyn Dearman, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3.
 Three singles and one doubles match were scheduled today.
