The science of medicine has triumphed over every one. In describing Important advances In medicine. I shall cover the years corresponding to the lifetime of those who enlisted in the World war. since we seem to date everything now with relation to that period C ontracted Tvphoid When thev were youngsters some of their father' went to the Span-ish-American ar. Many contracted le 1 er and died of if. In the World war. due to knowledge of the disease and vaccination against it,, almocf none contracted tvphoid fever Through the childhood of these ex-soldiers diphtheria was a terror Antitoxin, a mysterious substance. had been heard of. but it was considered dangerous and seldom was used Children now have small chance even of catching diphtheria. if their parents will he wise enough to have them immunised As youngsters who were to be men In 1017 grew older they learned of a s!o*> and flnallv fatal disease known as diabetes. Soon after they returned to "civvies'' the discovery ol in ulin was announced. Every one know the re ul. A few years after insulin came into use an effective treatment for another formerly fatal disease, pernicious anemia, was discovered. Well into the twentieth century rickets and scurvy were common in childhood Now the doctor tells the mother what to feed the baby and these rii ease seldom are seen.

X-Ray Revolutionary The fathers of some of the hoys who were to ko to France probably came home one night and told of a man who had a picture taken of his pocketbook, with a key inside, and the key showed on the plate The camera-like device was known as an X-ray machine; today a growth no larger than a pea. in the gall bladder, can be seen. X-rays have revolutionized the practice of medicine. Surgery practically has crown up In the life time of members of the A E. F When they were children, the operation for appendicitis was a nip-and-tuck affair. Now almost every organ in the body, including the brain, and sometimes even the heart, can be successfully operated on It mostly is a matter of knowledge of how the body works and how to prepare patients so they can stand operations. Cinder Rale Slashed This ean be illustrated by the operation for toxic goiter. Ten days of proper preparation of patients accounts for the difTerenee between ihe former death rate of more than .10 per rent and the present mortality of less than 1 per cent. A somewhat similar record, with different figures, has been made in operations for canrer of stomach and bowel. Now. for curiam diseases of ihe blood vessels, joints, bladder and bowel, operations are done on a certain part of the nervous system. A few years ago it was not even known what this part of the nervous system was for. I have not mentioned the conquest. of tuberculosis or a host of other things. It would take more than a lifetime to tell about the progress of medicine, but it probably is evident already the medical profession has been wide awake for . the last fortv years. It. ..till is.

HEADQUARTERS TO BE SHIFTED BY G. 0. P. Mvf Will Be .Marie to Cltiragn From Washington. FP Srripp*-Hn*rnrd \ttrspaprr .1 ifioMfC WASHINGTON, May 10.—Hoadquarters of the Republican national committee will be transferred frrm Washington to Chicago soon after adjournment of the Republican natiqpal convention next month. The headquarters are being moved, committee officials say. for economy and to get the party closer to the voters. In previous campaigns chief headquarters have been maintained in Washington, with western headquarters in Chicago and eastern headquarters in New York The change means consolidation of the former western headquarters with the Washington office, which, aside from saving money, will promote efficiency in campaign management. As the conventions near, party collectors are finding it increasingly difficult to obtain funds. Fvery indication now is that both the Democratic and Republican campaigns will be conducted more economically than any since the turn of the century.

Try Arch Shot lt*s a Good One on Rough Ground to Knock Mibs Out of Ring.

BV JOHN JEFFRIES Warhl# Champion THFRE are a lor of tough places in this world-so dad tells me. And say. boy. there are a lot of lough marble rings in school yards and playgrounds. Keep your eves peeled and when, in the Indianapolis tourney vou ha vp to play on rough ground, bring out the old arch shot. The arch shot, you know’, is lifting your taw from the ground

TH' ARCH SHOT tS a. HOMEV FOR. A ROUGH

so it will fall on a marble and send it flying from the ring. This isn't as good as the roll shot, in my opinion, but on rough ground it’s a dandy. Os course in the national finals down at Ocean City, N. J.. the marble rings are as smooth as glass, so most of us use the roll shot. The roll shot isn't as pretty as the arrh. but if is more effective on even ground. When shooting into a hunch of marbles. the rcll sho will be more likely to knock out a mib than the arch. But, of course, the old English on it is what makes the roll a success, and don't you forget it! I've just got one more story to tell you. and that's about nervousness Watch for it in Wednesday s Times.

BANKERS ASKED TO COMBAT PROPAGANDA McWhirter Assails Move to Destroy State Financial System. Call of stale bankers to combat ! untrue propaganda seeking to destroy the state banking system was issued Monday by Felix T. McWhirter, president of the state bank division of the American Bankers' Association. McWhirter. president of the People's State bank, assailed proposals now before the government to prohibit state-chartered financial institutions from operating and branded the plan as ‘•discriminatory.” ‘ The thought is grotesque, but the serious element is that, at a time when we are called upon to co-operate, and as usual are doing so to our patriotic utmost, there is such evidence of utter lack of sober thought and consideration in responsible elements of our government to permit such ill-advised and discriminatory legislation to be ad--1 vocated or proposed," he said.

pressure for or against legislation The tax bill has been their special interest, as they seek to shift burdens away from particular Industries. The most powerful lobbyists seldom appear at the capitol itself. They have their scouts on the ground, but. when it comes to the Anal business of putting the screws on Senator So-and-So to vote their way they see the senator at his home or office, or work through the political powers back home. Others work frankly as the "legislative representatives" of various industrial, trade, farm, labor and veterans' organizations. This class has been most prominent in the long tax discussions. They appear before committees with their arguments against a tax. say. on automobiles or soft drinks. They organize propaganda so effectively that many a congressman comes to work on a fine morning to And his desk buried beneath stacks of telegrams and ’etters. Often the messages are identically worded.
