A DOCTOR ADVISES PHYSICIANS

DR.. Hugh Cabot, of the Mayo Clinic,
proper sphere of activity for the physicians
of this country.
Speaking recently in Washington, DR..
Cabot pointed out that the physicians of
this country are the only experts upon
whom the country can depend for expert
med cat opinions This, he thinks. how
.evetsls tie limit of the absolute authority
of The physicians
.AR DIR. Cabot took cognizance of the fact
that the medical profession u divided in
its opinion as to the best means for bring
ing adequate medical care within the reach
of the majority of the population. He does
not think that physicians can be called ex-
perts in social, economic or financial fields.
He recognizes the right of doctors to deter
mine the best medical practice bus he de-
MES to them the right to prescribe ex-
clusively how much treatment shall be
brought to the people.
What organized medicine appears to
be asking" says DR.. Cabot, '.is that it shall,
as body, be given control of the changes
which are to be made. as time goes on. in
the method of offering medical care to the
American people" He expressed grave
doubts of the wisdom of delegating any
such power to any group and callSit 'fas-
cism of the Italian type" m
Dr. Cabot points out that PtheFx Is
grave danger that, in attempting to i'm
proye. not the scientific and professional
equipment of their members, but their fl
nancial security. organized medicine may
more and more take on the aspect of a
trade union"
The observations Of DR.. Cabot, made
in particular reference to physicians have
equally as important bearing on the prob
lens that confront attorneys-at-law. Both
professions face the danger outlined by
DR.. Cabot and. in some respects. are tend
lac to become trades rather than profes-
sions.

Toronto-John Nimmo, 6-foot

in finding stolen iewelry. While
he and other detectives were

precious metal and, investigating,
he took out several missing

Claims that the state govern

Sidney j. Cats, candidate for

"else may tell YOU, he said, "the
governor is supreme in the State
Road Department. He has legal
right to- order certain work done.
If it isn't done he has only to re-
move the offending individual
and put in somebody who will
do as he wishes. Mr.. Cats said
that if he was elected governor he
would build the bridges and see
that the work was started as soon
as he found it possible. Il am not
promising this solely because of

ed that the Overseas Highway is

A question about falling bodies has
come in a letter from Earle Moore
"Is it true" he asks, that the speed
of a falling body will be 1886 feet per
second 10 seconds after it starts to
fall?"
Yes, that is almost exactly the
speed OF falling body for the elev-
enth second it falls, if it falls through
a vacuum. Tests by scientists have
proved that an object keeps falling
faster and faster through a tube
from which the air has been pumped.
It adds 80 1-6 feet to its speed each
second 1t falls.
Hard as 1t may seem to believe,
tests have shown that all objects will
fah at the same rate if they go down
through chamber without air in
1t. in other words, a feather will fall
- fast as an iron ball.
In everyday life, we do not see
things falling through vacuum tubes.
The air is all around us, and it slows
UP the natural speed of a falling
body: An iron ball will fall from
the top of a tower to the ground
much faster than feather. That is
because the air "resists' the feather

much more than it does the iron
ball.
The difference in shape makes the
air resist one object more than an
other. If you have an old news
paper at hand, you might try this
test: Take two sheets from 1t.
Crumple one into a ball, and drop
it at the same time as the sheet you
have not crumpled. The two sheets
are of the same weight, but the one
you crumple will fall more swiftly
than the other. If the dropping Is
done from height Of 10 feet or
more, the crumpled sheet may reach
the ground a second or two faster.
1t is a good thing the air slows up
the speed of such objects as rain
drops or hail. If that were not the
case, a hailstone falling from a
height of 2 miles would be going
faster than a bullet by the time it
struck the ground. Even rain drops
would be dangerous.
From time to time aviators have
fallen several miles. Those who
have been alive after landing have
used parachutes to slow them up.
One aviator leaped from a height
of miles, and did not pull the para.

Let us consider the bidding.
South's opening bid of one diamond
was, of course. correct. and we find
no quarrel with Vests overcall of
one spade. North's jump to three
diamonds was quite sound. And
now East decided to make what he
thought was nuisance bid-hence
the three hearts. All this bid served
to do, however, was to encourage
South, who now felt certain that his
ace-Queen of hearts meant no heart
losers. Hence, South was embold-
ended to cue-bid in spades and
later in his other suit, hearts;
whereupon North naturally jumped
to the small slam.
OF course, If East had passed Gas
we think he should have done, or
merely raised his partners spades
in the event that he felt compelled
to bid, North and South might still
have bid the slam. But East, with
the pointless three-heart bid, had
made it particularly easy for them.

during the 4-mile fall he kept drop
ping faster and faster. 1t was esti-
mated that the speed of the fall grew
to 140 miles per hour, or PIT feet per
