BY JOHN McKELWAY

A man whose face is soft
and knowing and full of
dignity sat in the empty
auditorium Of the District
Medical Society and told q
few things about his life.
Joseph f. lines, who is now
81, is the Mayor of the l7OO
block Of M street NV. He
has probably lived in the
block longer than anybody

with change-up in an
apartment in the headquar-
tiers Of the society at 17l8.
Joe has been custodian Of
the building since 1898.
.iSince then, he has met
and known more doctors
than a practicing hypo-
chondriac.
He has listened to more
medical papers" than the
dean Of any medical school,
sitting quietly up in the
balcony, waiting for the
meetings to break up before
closing up the society for the
night.
Joe is a native of Anna
polls. He was orphaned here
In the District at the age of
3 and became a ward of the
old Board of Children'S
Guardians.
He was placed in a foster
home down in Virginia but
ran away, back to the Board
Of Children's Guardians.
"I wasn't exactly salts
fled" Joe said, in explana-
ton.
He came to the society in
1888 after knocking around
In various jobs.
He was interviewed by the
President Of the society, a
doctor, who told Joe, II un-
derstand, Mr.. lines, you are
not as fast as you used to
be-"

the doctors hair and an

LIVING ALONE in the old
building-he Is a widower-
has not been without a few
uneasy moments.
You do hear some funny
sounds at night" Joe said
quietly. Sometimes I've
come in sort Of late, return
ing from a meeting of the
Elks, and I've wake d
through the auditorium and
I've heard a creaky noise or
something. l usually stop
and say, Gentlemen, just let
me go through and then you
can go on with your meet
ing"
Watching physicians come
and go has left Joe with the
impression that, by and
large, doctors are due re-
spect.
when a man spends that
much time in school he's got
to know something" he said.
He balanced this thought
with: But it is just like
some preachers; you get
good ones and bad ones"

tors are now required 70

There are so many new
diseases" he said. "The

ONE OF THE GREAT
traditions of the medical
profession is that doctors
should, at some time, deliver
Aipaper on some finding. For
years, every Wednesday
night, meetings were held at
the society and papers were
given.
Up in the balcony, Joe
would be handling the slide
machine. The lecturer would
buzz a signal up TO Joe and
he would change the slide.
He gave the practice UP
about five years ago. A few

That buzz" said Joe,

OF the society, who left the

years." said Joe. And that

A few years back, DR.. Her

OF the society's executive
committee, honored Joe un-
expectedly. He got Joe up on
the stage TO fix the micro
phones and then formally
presented him with a pipe.
