BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 18.-Miss
Mary Beard, national director of
the American Red Cross Nursing
Service, cited last night growing
belief" that State health depart
ments should administer "the provi-
sons of the national health program
enacted into law"
In an address prepared for the
New York State Nurses Association
convention, Miss Beard pointed out
that great voluntary associations
have stated their belief that single
agency. that is the State Depart
ment Of Health, should be respon-
sible administratively for the provi-
sions of the national health program
enacted into law"
Declaring that prudent prophet
should furnish the future with al
ternatives," Stringfellow Barr, presi-
dent Of st. Johns College, Annapo-
lis. Nd, asserted in another pre-
pared address:
Il therefore prudently prophesy
that this country will either restore
the liberal education which its So
called liberal colleges no longer
furnish, or else this country will
sacrifice its liberal institutions"
Another speaker, DR.. Richard A.
Bolt, director of the Cleveland.
Ohio, Child Health Association, OBJ
served: The nurse of tomorrow
will have to be more broadly trained
than the nurse of today. The
nurse must become acquainted with
number of allied fields, such as
social service, education, community
welfare and the social-economic
conditions in the community"

Medical West Point

Rockefeller Foundation
Officer Emphasizes
Opportunity for Poor
BY STEPHEN J. McDONOUGH.


Associated Press Science Writer
PITTSBURGH, Oct. ia school
similar to West Point or Annapolis
to train young doctors in fighting
disease was proposed today before
the American Public Health Associa-
ton.
One of the country's outstanding
physicians, DR.. Alan Gregg, director
OF medical sciences of the Rookie
teller Foundation, told the associa-
. tions 5000 members meeting here
that the use of Government money
to operate such west Point of
health" would enable many poor but
capable young men to obtain a
medical education and enter the
battle against disease.
Drawn by Lucrative Practice"
ut is already clear that the pres
ent expense of medical education
has begun to affect the selection of
medical students" now picked pri-
marlly from the upper middle class
OF the population who can afford to
Keep boy or girl in school for 10
years. he reasoned. And, in the case
OF a young doctor who has had to
borrow money for his education, the
tendency is for him to go into vari-
Gus fields OF lucrative practice" in
stead OF into public health work, he
added.
Such young doctors do not fully
understand the need for competent
pubic health physicians, DR.. Gregg
said.
How can we expect understand
Ing of the underprivileged group of
the population to emerge among
students who have never been un-
derprlvlleged?" he asked, adding.
Tor true appreciation they must
have the simplicity and conviction
OF understanding born of experi-
ence.'
Sees Standards Neglected.
In the treatment of disease on a
mass scale in public health work
craftsmanship, social sympathy and
educational skill are paramount
qualifications" and usually they are
not taught in the medical schools.
he declared.
Medical schools usually train men
TO cure illness for fees" and not
Tor the prevention of disease as
pubic salaried servant" Therefore.
said DR.. Gregg, it appears necessary
TO establish either a system of
scholarships for advanced study or
q west Point of health" to train
young doctors in public health
methods. Such school would teach,
IN ADDITION to sanitation and the
control OF epidemics, such courses as
psychology, mathematics, sociology,
anthropology, economics and Eng
lish to qualify student for public
health work.
System of Tokens"
Today the d. in the citation
doctor of public health" obtained
from some university may stand for
deception" he added, and many de-
grees ARE like paper money, a sys-
tenn OF tokens, promises or equiva-
tents, as good and as variable as the
resources Of the issuing agencies"
1t is the hall mark of educational
stupidity to withhold distinction"
from a specialist or to imply all
around competence where it does
not exist, and the public cannot be
expected to respect such certifca-
ton by universities unless they are
fully earned and the recipient proves
up on the certification, the Rookie
teller scientist declared.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Two years ago, In a series on
safety in air travel, spoke of the
need to stop the danger of fire in
case of an air crash. This danger
is one of the things which have
kept many persons from travelling by
plane.
Now I am happy to tell of new
invention which probably will do a
great deal to bring an end to fires
after crashes. 1t is the Henderson
safety tank"
The Henderson safety tank holds
gasoline for the airplane. 1t Is
made so it will bend without break
ing, and it seems to be as close to
'leakproof" as any tank ever made.
Built in standard size, this fuel
tank has a three-layer covering.
The outer layer is metal, the middle
layer is a substance called Hen
corite," and the inner layer is metal.
There are no rivets in the safety
tank, and we are told mo parts
can work loose due to vibration"
Inside it are fittings called "baf-
fies." They help keep the tank
from breaking at the time of a
crash, and are 50 made that they
will bend under strain.
Tests have shown that the tank
can suffer big dent in crash and
keep the gasoline safely inside, in
stead of having it splash over hot
pipes or motor parts.
In one test, tank of this kind
was struck by shells fired from
one-inch airplane cannon" The
cannon was fired from a distance of

-'Sufety Tank Lessons Air Dunqer
Fred Neher

Cheerful news has come from the
airwayS. During the past two years
great success has greeted efforts Of
companies which operate airlines.
The death rate has fallen to point
where the airplane is nearly as safe
as the automobile.
AS result of the fine safety rec
ords of the past two years, there has
been a big increase in the number
of people who make airplane jour-
neys. 1t is proof that added safety
is thing people want.
1t seems quite possible that air
planes can become far safer than
automobiles. They travel in place
where there is plenty of room. Add
together the travel space on all the
worlds highways, and you do not
have as much space as. there is in
the air over one small country
say Switzerland. Greater travel
space means less chance Of crashing.
With speed, safety and the thrill Of
flying, the aviation industry should
have great and wondrous future.

find herself played up in lurid colors as the Boardwalk Mystery ! Girl" WHY" one headline screamed, WAS THE COUSIN OF THE WEALTHY MRS. TALBERT MASQUERADING ON THE BOARDWALK UNDER AN AS- SUMED NAME"
 There was gruesome descrip- tion of the finding of the body, graphically contrasting Mrs. Tai- bert's rigidly cloistered life at ex- elusive Beachmont with the taw- dry setting of her violent death.
 Over that, Christine shed her first tears.
 "Oh, Bill" she choked, her voice breaking at the stark pathos of it. "all these years she hasn't had any one but me, and I-I never really tried to be nice to her. .. And now l haven't any one either"
 Bill drew her to one of the benches that lined the Boardwalk and gathered her gently into his arms as if she had been a very little girl, and she sobbed against his shoulder until gradually she found relief.
 Presently he said, close to her ear, You've got me, Christine You'll always have me-if you want me. didn't mean to tell you-not for months-because I didn't dare think you'd believe me. I hardly believed myself that it could happen all at once that way. But this is what I've wanted from the first"
 Because she had been so sure from the beginning that Bill was safe and wholesome as the fresh sea aid and sunshine; and because she realized all of a sudden that this was what she had really wanted from the beginning, too, Christine did believe him, and clung to him as the one sure, sane refuge in a world suddenly gone insane.
 And because this was Surf City, concerned first and only with its own interests, its own amusement, it's own desires, the Boardwalk crowd eddied and passed without a backward glance.
 At length Christine sat up, pro- testing between tears and laugh ter, "Bill-all these people! could n't have believed I'd ever do a thing like this.
 And Bill said, little unsteadily himself, 50 far as they're con- cerned, we're not even here. Anything could happen to any one on this Boardwalk, and no one else would even notice."
 Later, in the crisis that rushed upon them with such cruel in- evitability, Christine was to re- member his words.
 When they finally reached Christines door, Bill took her al- most roughly into his arms again.
 T wish to God I didn't have to leave you alone" he said, his voice hoarse with trouble. Promise me that you'll be careful, Christine if you have any idea what the word means"
 Once in her own room, Christine set systematically about the exam nation of her belongings.

TOINT efforts of sportsmen in v United States and Canada to
 check the alarming decrease in the number of game birds are taking effect. The 1889 hunting season
 will see the greatest southward flight of ducks in six years proof
 that conservation programs are getting results.
 Completion of three major sanc- tuaries in the prairie provinces of Canada has been announced by Ducks Unlimited, Inc, an organi- zation of sportsmen operating in Canada and United States. Three more similar preserves will pro- vide a total of 763, ,000 acres of lake, marsh and swamp land for summer nesting places. Canadian conservationists predict 2,500,- 900 increase in the North Ameri- can duck flight.
 New, protected refugeS await migratory Wildfowl on their south- ward flight across United States. Along all of the great flight routes ! the U. s. Biological Survey has created havens for the birds. ]. Funds for this work are provid- ed by the sale of duck stamps.

 happiness. But I've got to be sure.
 At length she found it-in a big manila envelope into which, be- fore she had left New York, she had hastily stuck some cancelled checks she didn't quite want to throw away.
 Tt" was a thick sheaf of thou sand dollar bonds. There was noth- ing to indicate whose they were; and Christine did not look through the bundle to find out how many there were. After the first fright ened look, she dropped them as if they burned her fingers and sat staring, her shaking hands tight at her throat.
 Her first impulse was to call Bill; but there was no telephone , in her room. To reach one, she must go into the public hall and risk being overheard.
 She did the only other thing that occurred to her. Making sure that her rather fiimsy door was locked, she pulled the heavy bureau tn front of 1t, and went to bed. ! SAlA Acbi1AC dAO AlOV AlOpC tO olCCp, but after a while she did.
 She was hardly dressed next morning before she was summoned to the telephone It was Bill calling.
 Bill" Christine said swiftly, I've got to see you. Something "LiSten!" Bills voice was sharp with warning. Don't use words that mean anything over the telephone. You've probably got a reporter in each pocket. ;. And don't be wor- ried when yoh read in the paper that the shoes of one William Yardley have been found to fit into one pair of footprints found by the police"
 And the other pair, Christine re- membered, were Cousin Emma's.

CHAPTER x

Then" Christine said slowly, If you're right, Bill-if he is skulking in the dark somewhere-and if he does kill some one else, I'll be- well, a sort of accomplice, won't I because I didn't tell the police who he was and have them lock 5, him up?"
 'Nonsensel Not telling all you know doesn't constitute you q criminal. If it did, most of us would spend lot of time behind bars"
 But in spite of Bifl,s light words, his voice was tense with worry.
 A newsboy came along the Boardwalk shrilling, "Wuxtry! Read all about itl Moider on the Boid- walkl Wuxtry! Wuvtry!"
 Bill bought a copy.
 Here's good light" he said; and they stopped to read.
 Most of the first two pages were devoted to the sensational murder of the wealthy and exclusive widow, Mrs. Emma Talbert.
 At one of the items Christine stared with blanching cheeks.
 You said awhile ago." she fal- tered at last, that not telling all [ knew didn't make me criminal. ;.. What would this make me?"
 An unknown person." the item read, "has mailed to this office a document purporting to be the will of Mrs. Emma Talbert According to that will, the dead woman's en- tire fortune-except for a sub- stantial bequest to the butler who has served her for years-is left to her only relative, Miss Christine Thorenson."
 Tt couldn't make you anything but what you are," Bill tried to say reassuringly, sweet and good and honest"
 A good deal of space was given up to the mysterious beachcomber who was at large after having been arrested in connection with the case. The rumors were CD that he was notorious underworld character; (2) that he was an anarchist who hated the rich; (3) that he was a homicidal maniac.
 A great deal of significance was attached to the footprints leading from the rowboat toward the booth where the body was found, one pair of which, police were reported to have said, had been identified as Mrs. Talberts.
 One item told of strange sea- going launch which the Coast Guard lights had picked out, ap- parently drifting at anchor a mile or so off short, directly opposite the booth where the tragedy had occurred. According to the news paper, detail from the Coast Guard had motored out and board- ed it, only to find it abandoned.
 A last-minute story told of the finding of the murdered woman's car, and the discovery in it of a hypodermic needle and a quantity of powerful drug.

 ''Key?" echoed Bill, who was frowning over the item.
 In moment he added, "Oh those boys use can openers; but his voice sounded fiat and strained.

 Aside from the space given Jaspar, Bill and Christine re- ceived the lions share of publicity. Bill came off with flying colors. The impression conveyed was that ne had pursued the killer along the peach in an heroic attempt to pre- vent the crime.
