A point about X-rays is made in
a letter from Dr. Paul Robinson,
who writes about the article in
which spoke of broken bones. In
the article I said that an X-ray
should be taken even though the
injured person might little sup
pose a bone had been broken,
You are quite right in theory"
writes DR.. Robinson, and you
should be right in practice. There
is a point however, which I must
make. The cost of X-rays is so
high that many persons feel they
cannot afford to have them made
when it seems likely the injury is
only a bruise.
! "Well-to-do people can pay the
cost of an X-ray on the least suS-
picion of a broken bone. Those on
relief can obtain free X-ray pic
lures. The ones 1 am thinking of
are neither wealthy nor on relief.
TN my own practice I have had
patients who had been treated for
bruises when they actually had bro
ken bones. In one case a man SO
years of age did not learn about

Children in school notice that a
boy from a wealthy family, or from
relief family, has an X-ray for
the least reason, but doctors often
delay asking for an X-ray for men,
bers of respectable, bill-paying FAM
lilies. 1t seems that the X-ray peo-
Pile have kept their machines in the
luxury class.
"If X-ray machines of smaller
size and lower cost were made,
many more doctors would install
them in their offices. The X-ray
should be used more than it is, and
persons in families of moderate in
come should be able to enjoy full
advantage of it,"
I agree with Dr. Robinson's idea
about the cost of X-rays. The
film used for an X-ray picture
does not cost many cents The
high charge to the patient is made
largely because the machines are
expensive to buy. Many X-ray
mahines are not used often in the

cost to the patient could be set at

is sad that the question of expense

At this stage, both the North and
South hands were void of the minor
suits, each hand held trumps, and
only two spades were left in the
dummy. And now South led a low

turn lead would allow dummy to
discard the losing spade while South

No country in the world, Welles
said has shown more jealousness
of its sovereign rights than the
government of Mexico. He said he
did not believe that the government
and people of Mexico or any other
American government need be told
how to protect their sovereignty.
For a country like Germany
which, he said, has violated the
sovereignty of other countries and
has destroyed the sovereignty OF
many of them, to tell an American
government where its sovereignty
was involved could only be regard
ed as a piece of bare-faced impu-
dence.
At the same time Welles praised
the measures being taken in many
Latin American countries to thwart
pro-Axis activities. He said all this
action has been in line with the
policy of nter-American solidarity
and the resolution adopted at the
consultation of foreign ministers in
Havana last year.

TOKYO, Aug. l UP)-Well in
formed diplomatic quarters reported
today that though Japanese Amer
ican relations were now at their
worst a quiet move might be made
at any time to improve them.
1t is widely suggested that the
prospective return to Japan of Ka-
name Wakasugi, minister in the
Japanese embassy at Washington,
might be associated with some at
tempt by Admiral KichiSaburo No.
mura. the ambassador, to suggest
a basis for improvement.
The prompt apology OF. the govern
ment for the bombing of the Unit
ed States gunboat Tutuila off
Chungking and the repeated state
ments of Japanese leaders that
Japan will apply retaliatory meas
ures to American and British eco
nomic pressure only to the extent
to which she is compelled, were
taken as indications that Japan
was not reconciled to estrange-
ment
It was understood that the gov
ernment had started to censor
drastically anti-American articles
in the newspapers. Incidentally up
to early afternoon today no word
had been published in Japan of
the bombing of the Tutuila or of
the governments apology.
There was another surprising de-
velopment when Gen. Raishiro Su-
mita, chief of the japanese military
mission to French Indo-C China, said
in an interview with an Asahi
correspondent at Saigon that jap
an had completed its construction
