Many people make unnec-
essary visits to the doctor.
They admit the only reason
they go is to have the doctor
tell them what they already
know. One says: 81 know
I'm fat and need to lose.
And I know how to do it.
But it makes me fell better
to have the doctor tell me.
1t gives me a shove into do
ing what I should" Another
says: "I,ll bet YOU ten to one
that he'll tell me I'm smoking
too much for my own good.
1 know it without going
to the doctor. But when I
hear it from the horses
pardon mel mouth, perhaps
I'll really do something about
it."
HUMAN NATURE doesn't
change. I have been reading
what Michel de Montaigne
said in his autobiography
about his relationship with
doctors: when I am sick,
I send for them if they are
near at hand, merely to have
their company; and I pay
them as others do. ! give
them leave to order me to
keep myself warm, for I like
to do it anyway. I let them
recommend leeks or lettuce
for my soup, put me on
white wine or claret, or any,
thing else that is Indifferent
to my taste and habits"
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor has Just taught me
how to make self-examina-
ton so that I can come for
medical attention early If a
lump forms in the breast.
He says this simple precau-
ton saves hundreds of wom-
ems lives in cancer of the
breast. But it seems like an
awful responsibility for a
layman to take. After all,
we're not doctors. Sincerely,

patients who are alive today
because they noticed q small
lump in the breast a month
or two after they had been
to their doctor for an exami-
nation. Had they waited until.
their next physical months
later, it would have been too
late to save them.
Nevertheless, I agree that
determination is quite. a
responsibility. In fact, so is
the ordinary examination by
the doctor. There must be
many cases in which it is
possible to miss" q begin
ming tumor that is less than
one-half inch in size.
Therefore, I'm glad to say
a new diagnostic procedure
seems to be on the way. It
leaves less to guesswork and
unskillful examination.
Although self-examination
by women is still important,
I think we can safely predict
that the day is not far off
when routine breast X-rays
will save many thousands of
women. For it is true that
X-rays properly taken and
interpreted, often discover
the presence Of a breast tu-
mor which might have been
overlooked.
Dear DR.. Steincrohn: My
doctor is suspicious that I
may have diabetes. He has
ordered a fasting blood sugar.
Is it necesSary?-Mrs. D.
IF SUSPICIOUS, a blood
sugar test is essential. But I
doubt he will stop with just
the fasting blood sugar." He
will probably take q blood
sugar tolerance" In that way
he can study the sugar
curve" in the blood. Often
a single, fasting blood sugar
throws us off the diagnostic
trail. It may be falsely
negative.

holder of the British class
syStem-a runaway, I should
imagine, from the better part
of Cheltenham. She Is eter-
nally distressed that /, a mere
butler, should be treated by
the rich Americans as an
equal.
This formidable English fe-
male-she carries about with
her an airmail edition Of
the London TimeS-involved
me in a most unfortunate
scene. It occurred on the
day I was invited to present
the cups following the racing
at the Gulfstream Park
course, q mile or so away
from here.
There was a large crowd
who gave me a distinctly ap-
proving cheer, and I squared.
my shoulders as ! walked to
the trophy stand. I flattered
myself that I was well turned
out: Neatly pressed blazer
and flannels, oldish brown
shoes, mirror-polished, and
with a soft brown hat held
in hand.
Then, as I neared the
stand, I saw The Lady out
of the corner Of my eye. And
she, evidently, saw me. She
rolled her newspaper into a
tight baton, waved it fiercely
over her head, and gave voice
to the following sentences:
Disgusting! Outrageous!
A wretched butler presenting
trophies! This could never
happen in England"
I walked straight ahead,
mounted the stand smartly,
and turned my back on her.
A trumpeter raised his
trumpet to sound the Gus
tomary fanfare announcing
the presentation.
''Bash That Butler!"
But, before a single note
emerged from the trumpet.
the Englishwoman shouted:
Bash him! Bash that but
ler! Hit him on the head
with the trumpet"
Needless to say, the trum-
peter did not follow her in
struction, although a slight
wavering note in his fanfare
showed that he had been
ruffled. Not so I.
The crowd, which had been
tittering uneasily, rose to the
occasion when they saw that
I was able to present the
prizes with exactly the right
blend Of assurance and diff
dence.
I do not live in the Jai-
Alai Palace. I have only a
pantry there. 1t is equipped
with a wardrobe, telephones,
q refrigerator ana q weighing
machine, the last being es-
sential so that my weight can
be controlled to fit my spe-
cially cut uniforms.
My living quarters have
been in a modest hotel a few
hundred yards up the road.
OF course, now that I have
taken a wife, I shall require
larger quarters.
I confess I still remain
alarmed at the vulgar kind
Of questioning to which a
man of my background is
submitted over here.
I find it essential to keep
an iron guard on my tongue
when I am casually asked
such things as "Why did the
Princess marry the Jones
boy?"
Unhappily so many Of these
questions would come from
that fascinating and formi-
dable creature, the American
woman.

Dear Mr.. President:
AS you know, the Tax Reassessment Project has
been carried through so that the new assessments have
been made effective for the payments due June 30 OF
this year covering tax fol. the calendar year 1860. The
assessment lists for each Island have been on display in
each Island since March 81. The notices OF tax assessment
will be issued within another week or so.
While the Legislature is in session, / take this oppor-
tunity to describe the system to the members Of the Lee
~gislature. This Woul d best be done at the Office OF the
Tax Assessor (located in the building next to the Gov
eminent Secretary's Office. It would be best il it could
be done while one or more OF our consultantS Tor the pro-
iect are available in the Island. This will be true on
Wednesday and Thursday Of next week, April 10 and 20,
so I hope that the Legislature might find it possible to
make an appointment for this purpose, at its convent
ence, on either Of those days. Wednesday would be pre-
ferable to us.
If the foregoing isnot satisfactory, / should be happyto
make an appointment therefor at any other date at the
convenience of the Legislature. In such an event, advice
a few days ahead is desirable SO that we may arrange to
have some of our ~consultants from Puerto Rico at the
conference.
Hoping that you may find it possible to accept this
invitation,

Mr.. Huston is a registered professional engineer

He has served for thirty years with the United States

Richardson with direct supervision over an average of
800 workers.
Following his service in the United States Army
Corps Of Engineers, MIR. Huston spent two years with a
private construction firm as Project Manager in charge
Of the Construction of two, tWenty-million-dollar auto
mobile assembly plants in California, and a thirty-mile
mining railroad in British Guiana.
He then returned to government service in the
United States Department of the Interior and served for
two years as Director of Alaska Public Works in charge
of a seventy-million-dollar public works program. He
was then transferred to the Office of Territories as De
putty Public Works Advisor. 1t was during this assign,
fment which lasted for more than a year, that he worked
on the Virgin Islands Public Works Program under Fe-
deral Matching Funds, and made several trips to the IS
lands, and became acquainted with the people and the
local public works problems.
Upon retirement from Federal service, he was ap-
pointed on Jan. /, 1860, by Governor John D. MerWin
as Public Works Coordinator, in which capacity he acted
as laison with the Office of Territories as well as staff
engineer under the Governor.
It is fortunate, indeed, that we are able to obtain
the services of a man with such qualifications, back
ground, and experience to head up our Department OF
Public Works at this time when we are about to embark
on a vigorous public works program. In this connection
I plan to merge the Office of Public Works Coordinator
within the Public Works Department, which will result
in greater efficiency and some savings.
Eerly Of Mr.. Illusions nomination as
Commissioner of Public Works would be very>much ap-
%preciated.
