WE LIKE OUR DOCTORS

Sixty-six per cent of the American people consider their
physicians tops, both professionally and personally, according
to a nationwide samping of public opinion conducted for the
magazine Medical Economics. The remaining 81 per cent
either had no opinion in the matter or cited characteristics of
their doctors which they found Objectionable. Six per cent
objected to the physicians personality, A per cent said he
rushed patients too much, 3 per cent challenged his personal
competence, 3 per cent called him Indifferent. Other faults
mentioned were too varied for classification. The main thing
is that sc per cent found nothing to dislike about their ply
scan. Another point of outstanding Importance is that only
3 per cent challenged their doctors competence.
The good things said about the doctors summed up to what
one might expect in an Independent system of medicine where
the success of a doctor depends upon his ability and character.
They included pleasant manner, professional competence, thor
o~ughness, promptness, f~riendliness, poiteness, easy to talk to,
sympathetic, helpful, cheerful, not pompous, etc.
Contrast such a personalized medical service with socialized
medical systems where the patient becomes a cog in an i'm
personalzed machine. The human relationship between the
American doctor and his patient is one of the greatest assets
of medicine. 1t should never be debauched by political tink-
ering-Mrs. T. N. Averill in Townsend Star.

Make Synthetic Sugar
In California Laboratory

BERKELEY, CALIF.-Production
of synthetic sugar for the first time
in the laboratory, in experimental
quantities only, was announced by
three University of California scien-
fists.
Lengthy experimentation of the
chemical steps in the formation of
sucrose by plants yielded two grams
of commercial sugar, produced from
fruit sugar and glucose phosphate.
"The action was carried out by
means of engines extracted from
the bacterium 'pseudomonas saccro-
chila,'" DR.. H. A. Barker, DR..
Michael Doudoroff and DR.. W. z.
Hassid announced.
"No commercial application is
possible at this time, since the proc
ess far exceeds the cost of produc-
ton from natural sources" they
reported.

Ploesti Oil Cut rs Per
Cent in Bombing Raids

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, MA
PLES.-The productive capacity of
Rumania's Ploesti oil refineries has
been slashed to less than 25 per cent
Of normal as a result of the last
1--we Allied attacks on German fuel
sources, Allied officials estimate.
A total of 4,500 tons of bombs
have been rained down on the rich
oil region in those five raids, which
took place between May 5 and 81.
The refining plants have been so
badly smashed, reconnaissance pho
tographs reveal, that only one re-
mains capable of any considerable
production. Before the current Sc
ries of raids Ploesti had been at
tackled in June, 1912, and August,
1913.
1t is estimated here that the
Ploesti oilfields in April of this year
were capable of producing oil at the
rate of about 5000, 900 tons annually.
Now it is doubtful if they produce at
the rate of 1000, 900 tons.
Aerial photos show great oil tanks
with their tops ripped open like tin
cans, while important distillation
and cracking plants have been heav-
tly damaged.

Trading Post for
Indians in Texas
No Longer Do They Shoot
Arro1Us at People.

AUSTIN, TEXAS.-Yes, Indians
still live in Texas, but they don't
roam the plains shooting arrows at
people.
Instead, the 40 members of the
Alabama and Coshatti tribes inhabit
a 4,000-acre reservation within 80
miles of metropolitan Houston, the
states largest city.
Plans are in the making now for
construction of a paved highway
fronting the reservation and building
of a trading post where the redmen
may offer for sale to the public their
beaded moccasins, lapel pins, bows
and arrows and a variety of useful
articles as well as amusing trinkets.
Chief of the tribe is 6~4-year-old
Ticaiche, whose Anglicized name is
Bronson Cooper Sylestine. He and
others of the settlement are wards
of the State of Texas.
The Indian Village isn't an ar
rangement of tepees. Instead, scat
tered throughout the piney forest
land r small houses. On the old
council grounds where pow-wows
ice were held are located a church,
school, hospital, teachers home,
agents home. cemetery, and a COM
munity center.
The white men overran the origi-
nal two leagues of land (more than
double the present 1000 acres) given
the tribes back in 1910 by the Repub-
lie of Texas.
Homes of the Indians were burned,
their possessions destroyed and
their stock stolen by resentful white
men.
Since that time life in the tribe
has been me of reconstruction. The
Missionary department of the Pres
byterian church has aided their
progress, and the State of Texas
looks after their welfare.

Romance Hidden % Years
Blooms in War Dispatch

BALTIMORE, MD. - For four
months Eligah Powell and his son
worked side by side at the Maryland
Drydock without recognizing each
other, and then an Associated Press
dispatch from England brought
them together. A chain of unusual
events followed.
Powell noticed in the story from
England a familiar name-Pvt. Paul
Powell, his son. 1t mentioned that
the soldiers sister, Mrs. Virginia
Moreland, lived in Baltimore, and
gave her address. Powell went to
call on her, discovered she was his
daughter, one of the three children
he hadn't seen since he and his wife
separated % years ago.
His daughter told him that the Sec
ond brother, Rupert, was employed
by the drydock, in the paint depart
ment. Next day Powell introduced
himself to his son. The father and
his two children arranged a reunion
with their mother, Mrs. Bertha Pow
ell. Both Powell and his wife had
remarked and their spouses had
died. They remarked within three
weeks.
