BALTIMORE-A Baltimore phy-
sicians belief IS years ago that art had
a role in the treatment of disease and
injury is finding realization today in
the saving of lives of American fighting
men.
1t was in 1910 that DR.. Thomas Ste
phen Cullen, internationally known
gynecologist, set out to prove his theory
by establishing the worlds first depart
ment of medical art at the John Hop
kins School of Medicine
Art is to medicine what good show
window is to an Al department store. "
says DR.. Cullen. "One picture is worth
100 pages of text"
Under that thesis, paints, pencils and
ink became tools to record for study,
not only visual aspects of various di-
seases, but the techniques of operations
ranging from an appendectomy to the
most delicate nerve grating.
Johns Hopkins Artist
Max Broedel, now known as the father
OF medical art, was the first Johns
Hopkins artist. The work spread to
other institutions and now the pro-
fession includes about 100 artists of
top-rank ability.
AS the work gained in significance
other types of Illustration were en-
ployed: Photography and the use of
casts or molds. Recently sculpturing in
synthetic stone has been added.

Macarthur at Leyte in the Philippines.
Similar units were active in the Euro
pean and China Burma India theaters
A frozen nerve graft procedure de-
veloped at Walter Reed Hospital found
its way to combat area hospitals
through reproduced illustrations of the
technique.
In Curative Education
Army installations called on Army
medical artists for thousands of photo
graphs and illustrations of trench foot

Operated by Pictures
A classic in World War II medical
history is the story of the second-class
pharmacists mate on submarine duty
who performed an appendectomy on
fellow crew member by following illus
trations and text of hospital corps

machinist's mates according to blue
prints in the manual.
1t didn't take a war, however, to
prove that medical art had come out
Of the doctor book and even ventured
into the galleries.
A current series OF exhibitions spon-
sored by modern medicine as test OF
public interest has demonstrated its
merits as an art for arts sake" The
early reaction of bashful curiosity has
been supplanted wherever the collec-
tions were shown by an appreciation
Of the color, realism, detail and even
beauty of the medical artists works,
ranging from finely tinted paintings
of syphilitic eyes to animated illustra-
tions of Huber the Tuber," tubercu-
losis germ.
Nor did it take a war to prove that
the medical artist touches humanity in
all its crises-birth, sickness or death
as he stands shoulder to shoulder with
the physician or the surgeon and with
pencil, brush or camera records what he
sees.
He is present at births to picture
some new advance in the saving of
child and mother; studies and makes
graphic the reasons for death disclosed
at autopsies, and spends hours over the
laboratory microscope to reproduce
some minute medical fact for the bene-
fit of mankind.

The next President to receive the de-
grees of Freemasonry was Andrew john
son, who came within one vote of losing
his exalted Office. He was Tennessee
Mason and a member of Greenville
Lodge, No. 119, of that State. He be-
longed to the higher branches of the
order and upon one occasion received
all the Scottish Rite degrees, from the
fourth to thirty y-second, in the White
House. Upon another occasion, when

at Ninth and F streets was laid, May 20,
1868, he marched over the entire route

Students at the FBI National Police
Academy began wondering about one Of
their chubby classmates. Weeks later
they were downright suspicious.
Big and heavy-set, this student police
officer was a pleasant companion in
class. But there it ended. He didn't
eat with the other men, didn't pal
around with them after school hours.
Although good student and conscien-
tious worker, he began losing weight
and took on worried look.
The police officers, who had come to
the academy for an FBI graduate course
in crime prevention and detection,
asked themselves if a case hadn't bobbed
up right in their midst.
Then one day the student explained
to the FBI. There are no tuition charges
for the academy, but the carefully Sc
lected students must pay travel and
living expenses. His department was
unable to pay these costs, the humiliated
police officer Said and so to take the
course and still support his family he
had mortgaged his home and set a
limit of IS cents day for meals. He
had been ashamed to eat with the
others, had been unable to join them
in so much as movie. Yet, he told the
FBI, II feel that I have been repaid
one hundredfold in being permitted to
attend the academy
Many Make Sacrifices
An unusual case, but there have been
other examples of personal sacrifice by
the more than 1000 city, county, State
and national police officers Grom every
State in the Union and from a half
dozen Territories and other countries)
who have been graduated from the
academy in the past 10 years.
One chap took pictures of his class
mates and realized profit of As cents
a day-enough to meet his modest food
bill. Another, unable to support his
wife at home and still meet expenses,
brought his wife with him to set up
light housekeeping in nearby trailer
camp.
The hardship cases are not typical.
Police departments or civic organiza-
tions usually pay a students expenses.
Yet the sacrifices that have been made
are indicative of the high regard NPA
graduates hold for what has been called

Teddy Roosevelt
President Theodore Roosevelt was an
enthusiastic Mason, just as he was an
enthusiastic American and jealous in
everything worth while in which he
was interested. He belonged to Matine-
cock Lodge, No 806, at Oyster Bay, Long
Island, N. Y, where he was initiated
January 2, 1901, when he was Vice Presi-
dent-elect. After he became Vice Presi-
dent he returned home and was passed
March 81, and was raised April "a, 1901.
The statement that he received all the
degrees in one day is not borne out
by the records of the lodge.
High Office did not change Col. Roose-
friends he was always the same. He
was strictly upright and honest and
was too clean and fair in his dealings to
show the scandalmongers even chance
to besmirch his sterling character. To
all he was Teddy" To no one he
denied the right to worship God in his
own way, right he demanded for him.
self. Occasionally he visisted the lodges
of the city, as had some of his predeces-
sors, but his duties as President pre-
vented him from being regular at
tendant. However, he was always ready
to serve his brethren when called upon
to do so, as he did when, during his
second administration he participated
in laying the cornerstone of the new
Masonic Temple at Thirteenth street
and New York avenue, June 8, 1907.
William Howard Taft
William Howard Taft, when Presi-
dent-elect, received all three Masonic
degrees in one day in Kilwinning Lodge,
No. 1885, Cincinnati Ohio, on February
1s, 1909, Grand Master Charles S. Hos
kinson of Ohio being present and exer-
cising his prerogative of making q
Mason at sight. This should not be
construed into the belief that Mr.: Taft
was Mason by merely saying so many
words, but it does mean, in this case,
that the ceremony was shortened, so
that the President could take all his
degrees on one occasion.
