SAVED BY A BARBER
BY

Director Miss. Power
q Light Co.

There is an author who wanted
to be a doctor, but fate ruled that
she should not, so there is a doctor
in every book she writes.
A woman who knows this author
very well says she might have
ade a very good doctor, for she
gives one sense of confident
kindness" She came close, too,
because she was once an lex
terne". as they called it, at the
Hotel Dieu in Paris.
There has been a Hotel Dieu in
Paris since the year GAL. Correct
NOT 1641.) Today II Is a great,
well-conducted place of healing.
But it was not always So In the
Sixteenth Century, for example,
hundred beds were occupied by
three to six persons each. Patients
and beds alike were filthy, as you
can imagine. On dirty, contaminat-
ed straw in the corridors lay a
hundred other suffers. In the
whole place were only five surgi-
cal instruments. There was only
one surgeon for every hundred
cases. One fifth of all the patients
died.
1t was the only hospital in Paris
and so to it, in 1929, went a bar
Der. young Ambrose Pare, to be-
gin training to become a doctor.
He was known as "a man of great
gentleness." What he saw, dis
tressed him. He had no knowledge
Of the medical Importance of clean
illness, as we understand 1t SO well
today. He was sorry for the pa
tieuts because they were compelled
to exist huddled together In utter
discomfort. He demanded baths
for the sick and clean linens for
! their beds. Patients still lay three
to six in bed, yet Doctor Pare
discovered that more Of the pa
tients were surviving. more than
he could credit to his surgery
alone.
He did not know why fewer per-
sons were dying, but because he
could see some sort of relationship
between cleanliness and the saw
ing of lives he demanded cleanli-
ness, and he kept on demanding
it to the end of his life. Before
that day came, the former barher
had served as a surgeon in tie
army of Francis |, had, deyelored
new procedures in treating wouuds
and he even had become special
surgeon to the King. And yet ~,
must have died with no compre-
hension that he had opened great
cleanliness highway to health anl
we take cleanliness for granted
now. How amazing an American
washday of 1919 would have toe.i
to that barber in France, more
than 400 years ago.

 The efforts of the Department of Justice to break up businesses because they are too big is an application of the Sherman anti trust law which obviously could not have been intended originally. The A and P, for instance, is a grocery business engaged in active and not always successful competi- tion with other groceries, and the DuPont enterprises are engaged in competitive, non-monopolistic fields. They are being attacked for their size. And there is ample evidence of a residence in the United States, among the people, to giant corpora ticns, which spread out into diverse and unrelated fields. There is op- position to the accumulation of en- terprises, to mere hugeness.
 American business would be wise to note this opposition before 1t
 becomes overpoweringly articulate
 Interestingly, even businessmen join
The Daily Alaska empire., 1949-10-22

in this opposition to bigness. Legis-
 lation to curb bigness, to prevent
 the investment of profits in the
 purchase of existing and profitable
 enterprises, sold only to take ad-
 vantage of the capital gains tax,
 will be passed in due course. The
 question is whether the business
 men will have the wisdom to curb
 their lust for bigness before opposi-
 ton to a concentration of the ex-
 ercise of control leads to legisla-
 tion designed to remedy an un-
 popular activity but actually accom- plishing an increase in the social
 istic trend in government.
 have often asked the question, when is big too big? Obviously no
 small firm can manufacture steel Tor automobiles or such commodities. There must be bigness in such en- terprises if they are to function at all Yet, large firms can be- come extraordinarily inefficient. I recently had an experience with the DuPonts which is a case in point For many years, we have been using their camphor squares,
 bearing only their label and trade mark which we accepted as the assurance of reliability. Every year these camphor squares performed excellently; but this summer, they did some damage. I wrote the Du- Fonts to ask why and what could be done about it.
 Now, the interesting point about this is that the Du Fonts advertise in the press, on the radio, and in tons of literature which they send to a person engaged as I am, ex- plaining the wonders of their re- search. And undoubtedly they are wonderful.
 But in the instance of these camphor blocks, G. T. Barnhill, Jr., sales manager, Alsohol and Cam phor wrote me:
 We do not advertise cam phor tablets for any specific use As matter of fact, we do not ad- vertise them at all principally be-

TROUBLE EXPECTED IN
 BOGOTA

The naming of Laureano Gomez as the Colombian Conservative party's presidential candidate has blacked out the last faint glim- mer of hope for peaceful elections in that country.
 Gomez, who was foreign min ister at the time of Bogota's bloody riots in April 1948, has been charg ed by many liberals with personal responsibility for the assassination of liberal leader Jorge Gaitan, which touched off the mob violence
 Since Gaitan's martyrdom and his social justice" program con- tinue to be prominent issues for most liberals, the nomination of Gomez represents to them an open defi by the opposition. The Con- servative party tacitly recognized this situation when it voted $5,0O0 to pay bodyguards for it's candi- date between now and the Nov. 27 elections.
 Although the liberals registered nation wide majority of more than 60,000 votes in congressional elections last June, the Conser- vatives have announced that they will not accept liberal victory in the presidential balloting because the date, moved forward six months on that party's initiative, is illegal"
 Laureano Gomez was one of South Americas most outspoken admirers of Adolf Hitler all during the last war He has also long been noted for his marked anti U. s. views, which constitute the chief foreign policy of his Bogota daily newspaper, "El Siglo.'
 The liberals president candidate is cholarly, middle -the-road Dario Echandia, whose appeal lies more with the party's intellectual and professional element rather that with the workers, who idolized the late rabble-rousing Jorge Gai- tan.

cause we do not have any scientific data as to their efficiency for the various purposes for which they are used"
 This is an instance where big becomes ineffective because the right hand does not know what the Ileft hand is doing. Obviously a company that devotes itself so meti- culously to research and advertis- ing its research does not want a sales manager to suggest that the company puts a product on Me market without knowing what it is flor or why it should be used. Now, I have experienced this sort of thing in many large busi- nesses, in which a bureaucratic paralysis sets in because of admin istrative unwieldiness. All excel lent contrast may be made be- tween the smaller Weirton Steel Company and some of the larger steel companies. Weirton, which is very tightly managed, is working with satified labor, as it has dur | ing each steel strike. Its flexibil- .ity is responsible for that; they are not subject to the channelling processes of larger businesses; labor easly reaches top management. A friend. of mine suggests ". 1. that it would be tremendous thing if the major corporations them selves would turn into public ser wants by selling off healthy, pros
 porous offsprings =" This idea
 is not so far-fetched, because it will have to be done anyhow, soolt- CT or later, either as a result of legislation or judicial decision. For the concentration of control, which is very different from the concen-
 tration of wealth, has been broken
 in the field of financial controls. and it will be broken in the field
 of industrial control.
 Industry would be advised to do
 the job itself in an orderly, con- structive manner, before some of
 the wild boys in Washington lay
 theri hands upon it.

 "The cost of the improvements and extension of the National Forest road systems which serve most of these sites increasing administrative costs of other kinds and the attractive locations which have been made available for residences and cabins indicate an increase in the rental fee is in order.
