District Delays
Action Against
Virginia Doctors
Holds Up Cancellation
Of Certificates Until
Assembly Can Act

The District Commission on
Licensure has withdrawn its can
collation. of "borderline certifi-
Gates" to Virginia doctors until
the Virginia General Assembly
has time to grant reciprocity rights
to District doctors who want to
treat patients in nearby Virginia.
The action came yesterday at
a special meeting of the commits
sion in response to requests from
the District Medical Society and
members of the State Assembly.
The commission last Saturday
wiped out the "borderline certifl-
Gates" which, for a 81 fee, gave
Virginia doctors the right to treat
patients in the District.
Instead, the order told Virginia
doctors they would have to get a
separate 81 certificate for each
patient treated here and that the
certificate would have to be OBJ
tained before treatment could
start. This would have been
severe blow to patients of Virginia
doctors who are sent to Wash
ington hospitals.
The cancellation order climaxed
complaints that Washington doc
tors have to pay $50 fees in order
to get authority to treat their
patients in Virginia.
District Medical Society officials
urged the cancellation be with
drawn in view of statements by
Virginia Assembly delegates that
they intend to amend the $50 fee
law at the next session of the
Assembly.
Paul Foley, administrative as
sistant of the commission, said
that body voted to hold in abey-
ance" its cancellation order until
the end of the State Assembly
session. The Assembly meets early
in January. for two-month ses-

About IS years later, Josephine
sailed across the Atlantic and was
landed in France. There she was to
spend the rest of her life and was
to be married to a young army
officer. The officer was Napoleon
Bonaparte, when he was crowned
as French Emperor, his wife became
the Empress Josephine.
Josephine's native city was St.
Pierre, the islands leading seaport
After she left it, ia years passed
before its population was wiped out
by the terrible explosion of the VOL
cano known as Mount Pelee.
Mount Pelee gave warnings before
the sad day came. There was a time
of smoking and there were rumblings
Of small earthquake shocks. People
In st. Pierre found the smell Of
sulphur in the air, but they did not
suppose that this meant much in
the way of danger. When clouds
rose from the volcano, they laughed
and said to friends, "Old Pelee is
smoking"
That was early in the year 1902
