Parrish, then I prosecuting attorney of Adams county, said today that he would gladly have proseetitei- a case to revoke the license but did not want to initiate such a case. In fact, he said, the law states plainly that sue') an action shall be instituted on com 1 plaint of the state medical board The law on the matter is as follow; : "The state board of medical re I gistration and examination is charged with the duty of enforcing this act and it shall be the duty of the I prosecuting attorney, upon the com plaint oi the board, to prosecute any violation of this act. "It shall also be the duty of the 'grand jury of the proper county to ( investigate all violations of this net and retun indictments therefore in proper cases, and it. shall be the duty of the. prosecuting attorney to prosecute violations of this act by information whenever a proper as l fldavit is filed by anyone, as in other cases of violations of the law; or to I prosecute offenders before the justice of the peace in prope cases." When asked today if he intends to take steps toward having Dr. Timin's license revoked, Lottis F. Crosby, present prosecuting attor* . ney of Allen county pointed out the , law refered to above and said that lip felt it was the duty of the state board to make the complaint first and that such posecution should be , based on the state board's complaint.) o ; Quantities of georgette anil taffeta i are being used in spring millinery.)
