Committee Plan Adoptedfor School Management

One of the first official actsof the Board ;of Trustees underPresident Johnson's regime wasthe adoption of the CommitteePlan of management of the col-lege's affairs.

In tlhe past it has been theplan to assign the various phases.oe--Lwbe- toarlc.tcindividUal wh ichproved more or less of a handi-cap to the individual as well asto the college. The affairs ofthe institution are of such im-portance and the personal workof the individuals of like valuethat one man could not well af-ford to devote to necessary timeto the work assigned outside ofhis class room duties,

Under the arrangement, thedivision of the work will be madeon the committee basis. Thismethod will enable the Committ-tee chairmen to sub-divide theirtask and each committee-mem-ber will have a greater oppor-tunity to efficiently accomplishhis or her share of the.work.

The establishment of this planshould enable the authorities toeliminate a great amount of thepresent detail and it will ulti-mately bring about a more effi-cient ministration of the collegeaffairs,

D.M.S.C.O. Passes IowaBoard 1007%

The college has been notifiedby Dr. H. J. Marshall, Secretaryof the Iowa State Board of Os-teopathic examiners that allmembers of the May graduatingclass, examined at the recentsession of the Board, passed withexceptionally good averages. Heespecially commented upon theshowing made in Chemistry, asubject that in the past has giv-en several quite a bit of trouble.

Summer DissectionCompleted

The regular class in summerdissection have completed theirprescribed course, wiped theirknives, and departed for a well-earned vacation.

The section this year was oneof the largest on record and didsome exceptionally fine workUnder the direction of Dr. Halli-day, the work progressed rapidlyand the requirements were metin record time.

Some of the students that weretaking this summer work are re-maining in the city to attendclinic.

D.M. S.C.O.'s NEW DEAN

DR. J. P. SCHWARTZ

Everyone connected in any capacity with the Des Moines Still

College of Osteopathy will be delighted to learn, that at the lastmeeting of the Board of Trustees, Dr. J. P. Schwartz was unani-mously elected Dean of the College.

"Pinky," as the Doctor is known by the student body, enjoysthe full confidence and unswerving loyalty of every student of thecollege which is builded upon the years of service the Doctor hasrendered the college and the profession. Class room contact., indi-vidual personality and unselfish devotion to duty have engenderedthis feeling which is akin to devotion.

Dr. Schwartz graduated from the American School of Osteopathyand served his internship at the Des Moines General Hospital. Hehas been intimately connected with the college since coming to DesMoines and has served in the capacity of professor of Urology,Proctology and Embryology with great success. He is also a mem-ber of the Corporate Board and of the Board of Trustees of theCollege.

In addition to his class room work the Doctor has been theManager of Athletics for a number of years and the excellent repu-tation enjoyed by the college's athletic teams is the result of. hiswork. The schedules played by our teams include some of the fore-most teams of this section of the country. The Stillonian, thecollege year book was revived after many years by Doctor Schwartzand now stands as a representative publication. Homecoming andnumerous other college activities bear the mark of "Pinky"Schwartz's activity.

In professional light, the Doctor is the president and surgeon-in-chief of the Des Moines General Hospital, one of the finest Os-teopathic institutions in the state, and is also the head of theTaylor Clinic, having taken over that organization upon the re-tirement of Dr. S. L. Taylor.

The college is indeed to be congratulated upon having been ableto secure a man of this calibre as Dean. With Dr. Schwartz func-tioning in this new capacity and with Dr. Johnson as President,the future holds unlimited possibilities for the development of thecollege.

D.M.S.C.O. at Louisville

Enthusiasm and progressivenesswere the keynotes of the thir-tieth annual convention of theAmerican Osteopathic Associa-tion held in Louisville, Kentucky,June 28th to July 3rd.

An amiable crowd of a thous-and or more Osteopaths, drawnfrom all corners of the UnitedStates and Canada, participatedin the events that will constitutea mile-stone in the progress ofOsteopathy. Wives and familiesaccompanied many, attracted bythe numerous interesting side-trips that had been planned bythe committee in charge.

D.M.S.C.O. was adequately rep-resented, both on the exhibitfloor and upon the program prop-er. Booth "D," presided over byPresident Johnson and Dr. Halla-day, was the center of college ac-tivity. The numerous students,attending the convention, made ittheir "hang-out"; and it soon de-veloped into a meeting place forthe alumni where they mightgather and reminisce to theirhearts content. Needless to say,the alumni registration broke allprevious records. Only the con-flicting arrangements on the con-vention prohibiting the possibil-ity of the contemplated Alumniluncheon.

Everyone stopping at the boothspoke in the highest terms of theprogress the college has madeduring the past year or so. Op-timism for the future predomi-nated the conversations relativeto the coming activities of theinstitution.

The college was well repre-sented upon the convent on pro-gram by Drs. Robert Bachman, F.J. Trennery and H. V. Halladay.All occuped prominent positionsupon the program and their workwas well received.

The activities of the Associat-ed Colleges was probably themost interesting from the D.M.S.C.O. standpoint. The most im-portant phase of the work of thisgroup was the eliminaion of thefive year requirement held bythe state or ,New York for ad-,mission to examination for li-cense. Under the present status,any graduate from a recognized-Osteopathic college, whose en-trance requirements include.graduation from an accreditedhigh school in which he shallhave taken one year each ofChemistry, Physics and Biology,shall be eligible for examinationfor license to practice Osteopa-thy in the state of New York.As a result of this action, theChicago College is reverting tothe four-year plan, beginning

He states thathe has practiced in this locationfor the past twelve years andthat last year was the best hehas ever had. The Doctor willbe able to hold the place untilOctober 1st, if desired.

Clinics BusyThe recently inaugurated fea-

ture of holding regular clinicsessions on Mondays and Thurs-days is meeting with great suc-cess. There are a sufficient num-ber of students remainingthrough the summer to make thework worthwhile and the benefitderived from this practical workis invaluable.

As usual, there is no dirth ofmaterial and everyone is keptquite busy. General clinic iwell supplied and the studentsare making rapid inroads uponthe required "500."

The O. B. clinic under the gui-dance of Conn and Jamison isdoing a thriving business and isproviding plenty of work forthose on call.

Surgical clinic is being held atthe Des Moines General Hospitalevery Tuesday, Thursday andSaturday morning and is well at-tended by the students. On thesedays two tables are run in theoperating room and the studentsgain invaluable experience insterile technic and anaesthesia.The college is indeed fortunate inhaving this opportunity to offerthe students as the training theyreceive in doing the actual workcould not be parallelled in anyamount of classroom instruction.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

A Tap On the JawHe had fought a hundred and

But the promoters lured himforth to fight another man, off-ering him the salary of thepresident of the United States.

was one of the several thous-and who paid their money at thegate.

The betting was two to one onthe champion. He stepped intothe ring with a jaunty smile, andwhy not? He had longer expe-rience and a longer reach andwas fighting before a friendlycrowd. Surely, we thought, thiswill be easy for him; and we werestill thinking it, when all of asudden he was down on his knees.

,There was nothing brutalabout it. He seemed to haveSlipped. We could not believe,as the referee began his slow,measured count, that he wouldnot jump to his feet again. Couldsuch a litttle blow put a manout? Why, it was hardly morethan a tap on the jaw!

I said as much to my neigh-bor. (Fate is always kind to meat such affairs, setting me be-side some stranger who is wisein records and inside stuff.)

"He seemed in perfect condi-tion," I exclaimed, "and he'sbeen leading a clean, healthy lifedown there on his farm!"

"Clean life, sure," my neighboranswered. "But it takes a lotmore than that. A -man can't goaway from the ring for a coupleof years and expect to stand upunder punishment when he comesback. You can't take them tapson the jaw, my friend, unlessyou're taking 'em every day."

I have been something of a lis-tener to speeches and somethingof a reader of book; but nowherehave I encountered a more pro-found observation on life thanfell from 'the lips of my untu-tored friend.

You can have just about somuch from the grab bag of life,but you can't put BOTH handsin. You can say to yourself: "Iwill run away from worry. I willretire and enjoy myself." AndFate answers, "Retire if you like,but the worries that are smalltoday, because you are in thethick of the fight, will loom verymuch larger when you have noth-ing else to think about. Theprice of ease is softness; make nomistake about that."

And the prayer of the wiseman, I take it, is, "Lord, keepme supple," not, "Lord, keep me

D.M.S.C.O.'s Stork QuiteActive

The assistant of "Old ManStork" who has been workingthe territory served by the col-lege 0:. B. clinic has certainlybeen on the job during the pastfew weeks.

As is customary, the work isthe heaviest when the help is-the:- lightesit..-D. t-be-nmer-months our number of studentson call in this particular de-partment is naturally quite low,but to reduce that number furth-er by the exodus to the tonven-tion and the "over the Fourth"celebrations make the work quiteplentiful for the remainder.

Evidently working on "insideinformatnon" regarding the num-ber of students available, theaforementioned assistant "stork"started things off with a rushand as a result, the clinic hasbeen averaging a little betterthan a case a day. Another pe-culiar quirk that has come toour attention is that this sea-son's "mode" is to double up onthings. Two cases are "on" in-variably at the same time andnaturally in opposite sections ofthe city. This condition hasbeen atttributed to "nature en-deavoring to impress the studentwith a little excitement to whileaway the dull hours of the sum-mer days."

In a more serious vein, the 0.B. clinic has never been more ac-tive than this summer. The casesare well diversified and afford in-valuable experience to the stu-dents that are in attendance., Anumber of the cases, attended bythe clinic, come under the head-ing of "Emergency," not havingbeen previously registered in theclinic and not having called thecollege until labor was well ad-vanced. It is these "hurry-up"cases that tax the students abil-ity and often his ingenuity incoping with the problems pre-sented.

From indications the clinicwill maintain the same degree ofactivity during the entire sum-mer and well into the fall. It isdifficult to predict beyond thattime as the individuals usuallywait until the last two or threemonths of their term before reg-istering.

Scorn and sneers are positiveproof of littleness.

Mental alertness is the advanceagent of wisdom.

Humility is the badge of wisdom.

Think You Are Old?

A voice booms out through theSenate chamber. It is ringing,scathing, bitter, heaping the fireof ripe criticism on the day'sdisorder. That is Elihu Root, at81, the Senate patriarch. Thescene changes to an athleticfield. A man in a Norfolk jacketsteps out, and with a long grace-ftiL stridye distances is competi-tors. That is Edward PaysonWeston, at 87, ready for a 100-mile jaunt. Fourteen directorssit around a table. Their agesare added up-954 years, and theyaverage 63. Over them all pre-sides the dean of steel, JudgeElbert H. Gary, soon to observehis eightieth birthday. Gary haswithstood the storms because hewas aggressive and kept up withthe times.

A college pro-fessor caused a mild sensationrecently when he said that menshould quit after they havepassed 45. But these six menare physical and mental refuta-tions of his proposed "deadline."All beyond four-score, and stillfighting, still working and hop-ing, living in the present ratherthan the past, younger than menhalf their years who refuse tobury their yesterdays.

Graduate Work inObstetrics

An excellent opportunity isavailable to field men and wom-en who desire post graduatework in Obstetrics at D.M.S.C.O.during the vacation months.

A few of twenty-five dollars amonth is charged for the workand the P. G.'s are registered for,the c-ases: the- . .am e as t.he stud--.ents. The vast amount of clini-cal cases registered each summerand the small number of studentsthat remain in the city duringthe vacation months, enables thecollege to offer this graduatework without enhancing the reg-ular students work. .

The work is entirely practicaland in sufficient quantity to makeit very attractive to the D. 0.who is especially interested inthis branch of our work.

NOTICEHeretofore the college has

been put to the expense offilling out application blanksand making transcripts ofgrades in complying with therequests for Board Applica-tions. The amount is not muchin any single case, but whenit occurs from five to tentimes a month, it means thatthe funds are being dispersedat the rate of from ten totwenty dollars a month, whichin the course of a yearamounts to considerable andit can be easily seen that itdoes not go to the advance-ment of the college. There-fore, no application for Tran-script will be sent out unlessit is accompanied by a fee of$2.50, payable to the college.

A Symptom-Not aHabit

Let those unfortunates whoare grouchy and irritable takecourage. Hitherto they havebeen cruelly held up to scorn andcontumely by theit more cheer-ful and placid fellows and as-sured that their unlovely tem-perment was merely the out-cropping of a naturally brutishand depraved nature. Now alearned medical authority comesto their defense, and declaresthat irritability and even chronicgrouchiness is a physical disor-der and not a mental habit atall. Nothing could be more de-lusory, he asserts, than the be-lief commonly entertained thatirritability can be permanentlycured by merely exercising thewill. The oil of sweet and lovelythoughts, it seems, is not suffi-cient to restore a tempestoustemper to its normal state oftranquility.

To be irritable is to be afflict-ed with some degree of ill-health.Those who are physically soundand vigorous are seldom irrita-ble, and never grouchy. Persis-tent ill-temper should be regard-ed as a signal that the braincen-ters or nervous system are be-coming fatigued by improperhabits of living, or poisoned byaccumulating toxins. Most every-one has had the experience offeeling "crusty" after a sleeplessnight, an atttack of indigestion,or prolonged work without asuitable period of rest and rec-reation.

In like manner, chronic ill-humor has its origin in over-eating, lack of sleep, lack ofhealthful exercise, or some abnor-mal bodily condition which ispermitting an over-dose of ex-creted poisons to enter the cir-culation and irritate and ex-haust the delicately balancednervous system.

Persistently grouchy workers'have been known to be entirely-cured and their business pros-pects visibly brightened by hav-ing an obstreperous tooth ex-tracted or bolsheviki tonsils re-moved, while others could prob-ably attain the same desirable re-sults by much less painful meth-ods, such as exercising in thefresh open air instead of a stuffydance hall, eating less and sleep-ing more.

I WILLI WILL and I CAN'T had a

gession one day and they arguedthe points in their favor. IWILL stood for work and ICAN'T just for play, and their.hat had a sensible flavor.

"Why I," said I CAN'T "amthe easiest way for men to get-by without working. Whatevertasks come, they can merrilysay, 'I CAN'T' and then turn un-to shirking.

"Just think of the people whoworry and fret when the thoughtwaves of work start to chant.And then just imagine the thrillthey can get when they dodge itby saying 'I CAN'T. "

"So that is your story," IWILL snapped reply. "Well,xmaybe you're right in a measure.P3ut who are the people whomerely slide by, and what is theworth of their pleasure?"

"I think you will find that thehappiest folk and those who getthe real thrill, are those) whocan never take work as a joke,but tackle their tasks with "IWILL. "

Now, who wins the argument?Think as you may. It rather de-pends on your style. "I CAN'T"you will say, if your thoughtsrun that way, but for me, it's "IWILL" by a mile.-Hal Cochram.

Requisites That SpellSuccess

Hard work, persistence, hon-esty of purpose and enthusiasmfor your calling, will get thebusiness. It's a "cinch" that youwill not get anywhere if you donot give the best that is in you,and go down or up fighting, butdon't back up.

There is business right nextdoor, and all you have to do isto call and write it. There isno end of good "live prospects,"so don't try and excuse yourselffor the lack of them. Lack ofsuccess is largely the result ofwasted opportunity. When every-thing else fails, and you havetried all the routes that you canthink of, then it is time to quitand that time will never come solong as you have "hustle" andsome "sitck-to-it-iveness." Don'tlisten to the fellows who bemoantheir hard luck; it is lazinessnine times out of ten. Luckdoesn't enter into the game ofsuccess, it's just plain labor andpush, mostly push. If you setyour aim high, a certain objec-tive you will attain your desiredgoal sooner or later:

FROM THE FIELDLiberty Hospital,St. Louis, Mo.July 10, 1926.

Hello Everybody:Promises to keep in touch with

those we knew in college, espe-cially the class, continually re-minds me of those good days inD.M.S.C.O. I am taking thismeans to keep my promise, oc-casionally.

We have been here at LibertyHospital (now the CrenshawGeneral Hospital) now, a littlemore than a month, and havebeen interested every minute ofthe time.

The work is so divided as togive us a maximum of variety ofexperience. The Hospital, one ofthe finest, and the attitude ofthe management, from Surgeon-in-Chief all the way down theline, calls for our earnest en-deavor and our association hereshould be of mutual help andup-lift.

The Hospital, on last Wednes,day evening was the scene of areception for the Internes,planned by the Superintendentof Nurses and her assistants.Fifty of the prominent physi-cians and surgeons of St. Louisand ladies attended. The recep-tion was held in the secondfloor Sun Room, and was com-plete in every detail from deco-rations to eats.

Of the interns, D. M. S. C. 0.has the balance of power, Dr.Benien, Marlow and the writer-Dr. Gorman from Boston andDr. Campbell from Kirksville.

of, ,

Dr. Marlow sleeps nearest thetelephone and has answered sameseveral times when my Big Benwent off at six A. M.

The hospital is used extensive-ly by M. D.'s as well as the D.O.'sand all we have -met with haveaccorded us the finest kind ofconsideration.

Of course we would like tohave a line occasionally fromthose back in D. M. or any placeyou may now be located. Tellus how things are going andwhere there will be a fine loca-tion a year hence.

Thanks in anticipation,A. E. SMITH.

The Reward of Toil"Yes," said the tall man, "I

have had many disappointments,but none stands out like the onethat came to me when I was aboy."

"Some terrible shock that fixtitself indelibly in your memory,I suppose."

"Exactly," said the tall man."I had crawled under a tent tosee the circus and I discovered itwas a revival meeting."

The Louisville TourA la Halladay

As usual we left home inplenty of time to see the cooktent put up and the attractions"unpacked. The trip from DesMoines was without event as faras the unusual was concerned.The roads were fine, the weather

:good and we had nothing to com-plain of, a fact that makes awritten account very brief. Hav-ing written ahead for an apart-ment we were fixed on arrivaland did not have to take whatwe could get and did not haveto hunt around to find a suit-able place. Next year when youtour to Denver unless you arecamping, know where you aregoing to sleep and eat. Weheard several complaining aboutthese last two and we had nocause to loose our sweet dispo-sition at all. In the city we se-cured an apartment in the CrossSchool, conducted by Mrs. L. B.Cross, where we had private bathand light housekeeping privi-leges, a big yard and all with-in two blocks of the Brown Ho-tel. This was considerably bet-ter than having a wife and twochildren cooped u;p in a room ina hotel.

It is needless to say that weenjoyed the convention as weenjoy all of them. It was apleasure indeed to meet newones and to renew old friend-ships. We were highly gratifiedthis year with the considerationshown the colleges by the asso-ciation in furnishing them withbooth space. Taken as a whole

":e think everything went offabout as planned and aside fromthe fact that a few got overheat-ed a couple of days, heard nogreat complaint. I do thinkthat we could be a little moregenerous with signs. It seemsthat we do not believe in signsand since that must be true,some had difficulty in findingthe various special clinics. MayI suggest that there be placedsomewhere, easily accessible andseen, a floor plan or plans plain-ly marked with the rooms weare using and to what use theyare put. Even the hours of usecould be added. Those of us whospend a great deal 'of time in abooth would appreciate some-thing of the sort reduced conven-ient pocket form, small enoughto be carried conveniently.

From the comment the major-ity were pleased with the con-vention and everything about it.We are quite sure it was a goodweek from every standpoint.

ADDITIONS TO D.M.S.C.O.'s FACULTY

EDMUND APPLEYARDB.S., M. Sc.

MISS AVA L. JOHNSONB. S.. M. Sc., B. Sc., H. Ec.

The Board of Trustees have recently secured two new indi-viduals to augment the already highly efficient faculty of thecollege.

Miss Ava L. Johnson, B. S., M. S., B. Sc. H. Ec., has been en-gaged toa teach the subjects, Physiology, Histology, Bacteriology.,and Embryology. Miss Johnso.n enjoys an enviable reputation inher chosen field and the college is indeed fortunate in securing herservices. She has studied and received degrees from the IowaState College and from Columbia University.

Mr. Edmund Appleyard, B. S.,, M. Sc., is the other new memberof D.M.S.C.O.'s faculty. Mr. Appleyard comes to us highly recom-mended fr(om Brown University. He will be in charge of all thelaboratory work this year.

With the exception of the return of Dr. B. L. Cash, the "AllStar" faculty remains intact. Dr. Bachman has just returned froma trip to the north woods and is on the go as strong as ever. Dr.Spring and Dr. Steffen have the city practically all thesummer and are ready for th to ring. Virge Halladay hasbeen on the job all summer at ollege, conducting dissectionand clinics. Dr. John Woods, ary Golden, A. B. Taylor, andProf. Frank Sutton are back in the city and are anxious for thesemester to begin. The Dean, Dr. J. P. Schwartz and the President,Dr. C. W. Johnson -have --both been rushed throughout the summer.The additional Work at the college in addition to their privatepractices has kept the two doctors on the jump most of the hotweather. However, both look as though they could stand a littlemore.

D.M.S.C.O. is justly proud of it's faculty and is sincere in itsbelief that they are without peer in the Osteopathic profession.Each individual is an expert, a specialist, in his or her particulardepartment and all have the solid foundation of years of practicalexperience under their theoretical work. The addition of the twonew members to the faculty this year will tend to strengthen rath-er than to weaken this power of the college. From their previousrecords it is quite evident that Miss Johnson and Mr. Appleyard willsoon take their places en the same level with the older members ofthe college staff.

More Weddings

Dr. Howard M. Sechrist, grad-uate of the class of January, '25,was married July 23, to MissMarguerite L. Anderson at De-troit, Michigan.

J. Maxwell Jennings, of thesenior class, returned to the Cityof Certainties the other day,plus one Chevrolet sedan and one

wife. Max tells us that the wifewas acquired last November. Wewere rather surprised that hewould hold out on us this longbut he could not resist and hadto bring the Mrs. back, with him.

Last minute advice informs usthat Sammy Springer and Leigh-ton Long have taken unto them-selves a wife apiece.

Don't despise the ideas of pri-vates in the civil walks of life.

Two D.M.S.C.O. Grads toForeign Shores

Two recent graduates of thecollege have sailed for foreigncountries during the past twoweeks according to letters re-ceived at the college.

Dr. Milton Conn, of the Mayclass, 1925, and his bride havesailed for Melbourne. Australia,where the doctor plans on open-ing an office. During the inter-val since graduation, Dr. Connhas been located in Tacoma,Washington, where he enjoyedexcellent success.

Dr. Lonnie L, Facto, graduateof the May '26 class, and hisbride have sailed for London,England where the doctor is totake an assistantship with oneof the foremost practitioners ofthat city. Lonnie was recentlymarried in Kansas City and wasenjoying a honeymoon tripthrough the west when called toLondon.

This recent exodus to foreignshores of two of our graduatesis indicative of the advance theosteopathic profession is mak-ing. In the near future Osteo-pathy will be as well known andrecognized in Europe and SouthAmerica as on our own conti-nent and the credit will be dueto those who have had the fore-sight and ambition to undertakethe strenuous pioneering neces-sary to growth and developmentof the science.

The good will and wishes ofthe college goes to these twoyoung men and their wives whoare embarking upon this ente-prise.

New Students ArrivingNew students are already be-

ginning to arrive for the comingsemester's work. Prospects forthe year are brighter than theyhave ever been before.

Correspondence has been heav-ier and judging from the tone ofthe communications received,the freshman class will be thelargest on record. D.MI.S.C.O.is also to make an appreciablegain in the upper classes throughtransfers of students from theother osteopathic colleges. Theclinical advantages of the collegebeing the attracting feature.

Former students are comingback strong and are anxious forthe work to begin. To date,D.M.S.C.O. has not lost one oflast year's enrollment throughtransfer.

New Hospital BuildingProgram Announced

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, presidentand Surgeon-in-Chief of the DesMoines General Hospital, recent-ly announced through the pressof Des Moines, that constructionon the first wing of the newthree-wing plant will begin earlynext spring.

The present building is inad-equate in all respects for theamount of work that is beingdone, and the increase in volumeexperienced this summer hasmade it imperative that thehospital board take this action.

The new plant will be con-structed on the unit basis. Planscalling for three complete units,each in itself complete in eveydepartment,, have been submit-ted and approved. When com-pleted the institution will beone of the finest and most mod-ern Osteopathic hospitals in theUnited States.

Although there is no directconnection between the hospitaland the college, the studentshave free access to the variousdepartments of the institution.Surgical clinics are maintainedthree days a week, at which thestudents are permitted to wit-ness and assist in all the differ-ent operations. X-Ray and var-ious other modalities are avail-able for use on clinic patients.

The erection of the new build-ing will mark the beginning ofa new era for the profession ofthis state. Inadequate hospitalfacilities have been the onedrawback for the last few years,and when this new structure isopened,' the Osteopaths of theState of Iowa will have at theirdisposal a modern 100% Osteo-pathic institution.

Are You Looking Fora Location?

An excellent location is avail--at West Point, Nebraska. Dr.'G. E. Hampton has practiced inthat locality for the past twelveyears, is leaving to take PostGraduate work. West Point is acounty seat town of over twothousands inhabitants and is lo-cated in the heart of a rich agri-cultural district. Anyone desir-ing further information, writethe Doctor direct.

1926 GRID CARDSTIFFEST IN YEARS

The schedule that confrontsthe 1926 Purple and White is thehardest that has been arrangedin years. Coach Sutton, who hasrecently returned from the East,says that it will take consider-able hard work and punch tocome through the season withthe long end of the scores.

The coach is already outliningwork for the opening weeks ofthe season and the preparationfor the first two games on thecard. Spring training will as-sist greatly in putting a fairlyco-ordinated machine into the

eld on September 25th, whene Bonesetters meet the strongarsons aggregation in the sea-

on's opener. Immediately fol-lowing this battle, the squadjourneys to Lawrence, Kansas tobattle the Haskell Indians, andanyone familiar with sport news,recognizes the fact that theIndians have a reputation of be-ing one of the strongest footballteams in the middle west. In thetwo games that Still has playedthe Indians in the past theymade a very creditable showing.and this year the Purple andWhite have orders to "BringHome the Scalp!"

Captain "Ab" Graham is ex-pected any day, and as soon asa sufficient number return, act-ive practice will commence.Several very promising highschool stars from different .partsof the country will be in thefreshman class this fall and com-petition for regular berths on theVarsity is going to be keen.

All men from last year's squadare urged to get back early.There are eleven games on theschedule for this year-and everyone of them a hard one.

As a matter of fact, no twomen are extctly equal.

The dangers of the factory andthe street are well advertised,but even home is by no means asafe place. It is estimated thathalf of the 75,000 accidentaldeaths in the United States lastyear occurred at home, andthere are no figures to show thenumber of slight and serious ac-cidents, most of them to chil-dren.

Falls are responsible for alarge proportion of industrialcasualties and equally large per-centage of household casualties.Conditions which would not betolerated in an up-to-date fac-tory are overlooked at home.Every household needs a safetyinspector. Check over thesepoints in your home.

Have you a safe ladder? Don'tdepend on substitutes such aspiano stools, rocking chairs andthe like,.

What do you keep in your cel-lar? Better see that all stair-ways are well lighted and thatthere are no defective steps normissing hand rails.

Is there ample light in thebasement and are all objectsthere placed where no one willtrip over them?

Are there any protrudingnails?

Are the matches placed whereJunior can't reach them if heshould be left alone for five min-utes?

Are all poisons kept out of hisway? This includes lye, disinfec-tants and bug destroyers.

Are firearms and ammunitionkept under lock and key?

Are there any tin cans orbroken bottles lying around theback yard?

This list is by no means ex-haustive. It will probably sug-gest many other conditions thatneed to be looked into and rem-edied. Yours is an exceptionalhome if it passes all these testsfor safety. Some of these de-tails may seem trifling butprompt attention to them mayavert a tragedy or a near trage-dy in your household.

How's This?

The following unsolicited let-ter from Dr. Richardson is sounique in its subject matter thatwe could not resist the tempta-tion to print it. It is rather outof the ordinary to receive suchcomplimentary remarks - theyare usually of the opposite na-ture.

Norfolk, Va.,July 16, 1926.

editor Log Book:I beg your pardon for intrud-

Ing-I hope you are not busy-or not too busy to have a wordwith me.

I always enter the .sanctumpanctorum of the Editor withthese platitudes, hoping therebyto lubricate my entrance and toease the way for my humble mis-pion.

I sometimes wonder whetherthe Editors ever have a kindword of appreciation come in tothem. Possibly my experience isnovel, possibly it is my fault,but as I enter they all assumea defensive attitude, seem toanticipate some unpleasantness,a physical attack for some oftheir editorial utterances, a psy-chopatic clinic-(or inquest)-over some of their literary is-sues, or something of the sort.

The path of the Editor isstony, I am sure, but my missionthis time is peaceable. I cometo strew roses on this stony path.I desire to compliment you onthe very creditable job you makeof the Log Book and to thankyou for sending it to me regu-larly.

One who has been in practiceeighteen years gets a great dealof mail whether he deserves itor not. Most of this is just somuch perfectly good paper inkedover and spoiled, and comes toan early inevitable fate.

The Log Book impresses meas a combination of papyrus,lamp black, brains and vitamin,compounded with skill and dis-pensed in such dosage as oughtto be good for Osteopathic grow-ing pains. Looks like it oughtto hold down on the radicals abit, and push along the conser-vatives a little.

I am greatly pleased with it:glad to receive and read it eachissue, and many times I pass italong to some one who is, orshould be, interested. I amcertain that its influence is goodat home and abroad.

Congratulations.Sincerely,

M. L RICHARDSON.

The Louisville Tour

(Continued from page 1)Following the convention we

made the trip in our car to thecave district visiting the GreatOnyx Cave and Mammouth. Thiswas accomplished by the use ofmuch gas and profanity for theroads were the worst in thecountry. It has been our pleas-ure to tour around a little andwhile part of the road to thecave district was good you wouldthink that the roads to such afamous region would be wide,well marked and of concrete.With a five cent gas tax the nextgeneration should have goldplated roads to ride on. Ourconclusion is that we will tourKentucky next in about thirtyyears. "My Old Kentucky Home,GOOD NIGHT!"

The return trip was madewithout accident but with anincident or two. We met thenewly elected president, Dr. RayGilmore in southern Indiana,just as he was finishing his halfof a fried chicken. It is uselessto say that he was in an excellenthumor. "Going right home andgo to work. Have a lot ofthings to do" he told us.

We took a glimpse only of thefine hotels at French Lick andWest Baden hurried across toScott Field and saw several ofthe big ballooons and took atrip through Armour & Co., atEast St. Louis, Ill. You oughtto see them make weinies thereat the rate of about a mile aminute.

If you ever drive in Missouribetween Clayton and St. Charlesget out and take your car bythe reins and lead it these sev-eral miles. We speak from ex-perience. Goinig not faster than32 a contributionary constablegave us the thumb and after afew minutes conversation finallyadmitted that he was workingon a commission and didn't carewho paid the commission. Webelieve that it pays to let thelaw have its way in such mat-ters. But to have this happenin our own native state, 0, dear.What is Missouri coming to? Bylimping along at about 45 perthe rest of the journey we fi-nally got home and glad of it.But we are already planning todrive through to the conventionin Denver next year.

Sunshine BeforeSchooling

Vegetables and fruits, espe-cially if eaten raw, are mostvaluable because of their richvitamin value. Raw cabbage,raw lettuce, celery, watercressand tomatoes are among thosemost edible for old and young.But even these are not sufficientalone. There must be sunshine,the open air, exercise, play-thisis more important to the childthan even the three R's. Lethim build a good physical basis;;hen all of these otherthings

Studes Returning

Vacation days are over and thetime has come to pack away theplaythings and dig out the oldworking clothes again. The pop-ulace of the City of Certaintieshas had to put up with some ter-rible service at the local "eatemporiums" during the pastthree months and will no doubtmeet all in-coming trains with

-the gglIded charts- and . brassbands during the next week.

The studes are already begin-ning to drift back from theirsummer's rest and are all readyto go. Jerry Lauck, who wasforced to drop out for a year onaccount of the serious illness ofhis wife is already back and anx-ious to make up for the losttime. Mrs. Louck and the babyare with him so Jerry will haveto toe the line. The Casey's areback on the job plus a big pow-erful motor. V. V. states: thathe worked half the time andspent the other half trying tocollect his earnings. Wallace isback on the job again lookingafter Paul Marquand.

Several new freshmen are al-ready in the city and are busylining up Meal Jobs, etc., beforethe big rush next week. Fromcorrespondence, this years Fresh-man class will be the largest onrecord. Adequate arrangements

Whenasked what he thought of Osteo-pathy, he stated that only oncein his life had he required a phy-sician and that time .was lastyear in Seattle, Washington,where he injured his neck play-ing football.

been put to the expense offilling out application blanksand making transcripts ofgrades in complying with therequests for Board Applica-tions. The amount is not muchin any single case, but whenit occurs from five to tentimes a month, it means thatthe funds are being dispersedat the rate of from ten totwenty dollars a month' whichin the. course of a yearamounts to considerable andit' can be easily seen that itdoes not go to the advance-ment of the college. There-fore, no application for Tran-script will be sent out unlessit is accompanied by a fee of$2.50, payable to the college.

Since leaving school in June'25, I have spent a year at Dela-ware Springs Sanitorium andhave established myself in gener-al practice here in Mansfield, atown of 38,000, seventy milessouth of Cleveland.

My year at the sanitorium wasprobably the most profitabletwelve months I have ever ex-perienced. The work in generalOsteopathy, surgery, obstetrics,ear, nose and throat and diagno-sis was most practical and in-structive. Book learning in thelight of practical work becamemore interesting and certainlyfell on a more fertile field. In-ternships are well worth thetime spent in them and it is myopinion that they should be thefinishing touch in every man'scourse. It made my ninth yearafter High School and was worthevery moment of it's time. Noman can assume the task of aninternship without being greatlybenefited. More than that, he

The various fraternity housesare already beginning to undergothe annual metamorphosis fol-lowing the summer's vacancy,Paul Parks, wh< is in charge ofthe furnishing of the new AtlasClub home at 2141 Grand ave-nue, is surely confronted with agigantic task.

realizes the experience that isso desirable in the conduct of ageneral practie.

I an see nothing but a brightyear ahead for' Des Moines StillCollege. You have my very bestwishes for all good things.

Fraternally,W. R. Gregg, '23.

From the Fieldraises his profession's standardjust that much. Some time Ihope the profession will insistupon an internship as the schoolof medicine does.

Last June I came to Mansfieldand have had quite a nice vaca-tion here in my office. However,practice has greatly picked up inthe past two weeks. I am cen-trally located in a new officebuilding and immediately acrossfrom a nine story hotel buildingthat is being erected. Have beeninsisting upon taking completecase histories and doing completephysical examinations. Both ofwhich are paramount in makinga correct diagnosis and conse-quently in prescribing the treat-ment indicated.

Have seen few Des Moines peo-ple since leaving school. How-ever, Skidmore and Gephart aredoing fine and Cecil Jones andPlatt were in to see me sometime ago. They've been out inthe "tall and uncut" where the"Hill Billies grow" slingingpaint. It's funny but so manycollege men are gifted in the artof "slinging," not only paint andhash but the male cow. Ah, Yea,Verily.

Well it certainly would be goodto see everyone. If any of youfolks ever come to Mansfield,drop in and visit with me. You'llbe more than welcome.

Greetings and regards to all.Sincerely and fraternally yours,

Frank (Jazz) A. Hoffman.

WE HAVE WITH US l.

College Represented atIowa State Fair

At the Iowa State Fair of1926, the Des Moines Still Col-lege booth was an accepted andwelcomed "regular feature."

Although only its second ap-pearance, there was nothing inany way to indicate that the Os-teopathic' exhibit was not as es-tablished a feature -as any ofthose which have been on handever since the educational de-partment was opened.

A number of visitors to thebooth pointed out to companions,features of the exhibit whichthey had seen last year; the in-terest in literature seemed tobe more general, which might in-dicate a familiarity with thesubject; and at all times the Os-teopathic booth was accorded asmuch interest as, and very fre-quently more interest than thatshown in the Academies Collegesand Universities which flanked it.

Whether or not the ten days'exhibit at the Fair will resultin a marked increase in colle-giate attendance or a swellingof the date cards for practicingphysicians, it was the consensusof opinion of those who watchedthe passers by that from now onmany hundreds will have DesMoines Still College of Osteo-pathy mentally placed with otherimportant schools of the state.

Coach Call For FootballMen

Incident to the beginning ofregistration for the fall semester,Coach Frank Sutton issued thecall for football candidates forthe 1926 varsity.

From the number of last year'ssquad that are already back onthe job and high grade freshmanmaterial that has registered, thesquad should number about fortythat greets the coach the firstnight. A number of high schoolstars have already signed up andare expected to work into thevacancies created by graduationlast spring. With the first gameof the season, with the strongParsons aggregation only twoweeks distant, it behooves thePurple and White to get in somehard licks before he whistleblows for the opening battle.

As in all other schools, the ul-timate success of the footballteam depends largely upon thenumber of men the coach hasavailable. Every student whopossibly can is urged to get outand help Coach Sutton and Cap-tain Ab Graham develope thebest team that has ever repre-sented the college. Confrontedas we are by the stiffest scheduleon record, we can win out ifevery one helps. Get out in uni-form and do your bit.


Fraternities, Notice!

At your first meeting this fall,do not fail to appoint a mem-ber to report your activities dur-ing the year. Heretofore the ma-terial for the "Fraternity Notes"column has been the "thorn inour proverbial crown of roses"so get your man selected andcharge him with getting his stuffin on time and in a legible man-ner. Definite dates will be an-nounced in the next issue.

Recordbreaking Fresh-man Class Registering

At the time this issue goes topress, registration has not beencompleted, but indications arethat the incoming freshman classwill break all precedent as tonumbers.

Coming from all corners of theUnited States they make an im-posing addition to the studentbody. Individually they are allthoroughly "sold" on the scienceof Osteopathy and on D.M.S.C.O.The period of adjustment israpidly being gone through andthe new comers are getting set-tled in their new quarters andare ready for the work to begin.Many of the new students havehad previous college work andothers are just out of highschool.

The class is to be congratu-lated upon its personell andmust be informed that the col-lege and the student-body ex-pects big things from them dur-ing the coming year. Many ofthe Frosh will no doubt winberths on he Varsity squads inboth football and basketball ifthey continue to live up to theirformer athletic Ieputations.Others will shine in other de-partments of our college work.

Frosh, you're welcome! Thecollege is glad to have you andthe student body is glad you'rehere.

Student Contributions

Again we make the annual ap-peal for student contributions forthe Log Book. This publicaion isprimarily a student affair andshould be filled with student con-tributions, so don't be backwardabout handing in the articles thatcome to your attention.

Every class should have its re-porter who should be held re-sponsible for the publicity on theactivities of that particulargroup. The class functions, per-sonal activities of the membersof the class and the jokes andboners pulled by classmates. Itis such items as these that makeour paper interesting and trulyrepresentative of the studentbody. Your ideas on subjectsakin to our work are worthy ofpublication.

Don't sit back and wait forsome one else to break the ice.When you get ahold of somethingyou think should be in the LogBook, hand it in! This is yourpaper help make it the best inthe field!

Are You Looking For aLocation?

Dr. F. E. Hird, 708 GarfieldAvenue, Kansas City, Mo., writesthat his "extra nice residenceoffice and property, with a goodgrowingi practice is for sale veryreasonable. The property is lo-cated only twenty-one blocksfrom the heart of the city. Turk-ish baths are available in thesame building."

Anyone interested may obtainfurther information by writingthe doctor at the above address.

The college has been informedthat there is an exceptionallygood location available at Len-nox, Iowa. Several of the towns-people have requested that thecollege endeavor to secure an Os-teopath for their community andhave stated that in the past theyhave had such service but thatat the present time there is noresident practitioner.

Twins having arrived, the fa-ther told little Peter that heneedn't go to school that day.

Little Peter:-"But wouldn't itbe just as good to tell teachertomorrow I've got one new littlebrother, and next week stay athome again and tell her I've gotone more? '

PERSONALS

With the rush of registrationand the first few days of classesin the air, it is rather difficultto find many "Personals" runningaround the halls. The sudden in-flux of the angry mob plus arecord breaking gang of ques-tion-asking freshmen it is im-possible to remember what Tom,Dick and Mary have been doingall summer. However, we'll at-tempt to give you the low-downon the few that we remember.

Riches Do Not EndureBy John Carlyle

"Who was the richest man inGreece when Homer was recitinghis poetry? So asks Bishop Ed-win Holt Hughes of Chicago.

The bishop seeks to prove thatman cannot provide for his im-mortality by means of money.Not unless he turns that moneyinto a great service which shallendure.

Who was the richest man inthe Roman empire when St. Paulwas preaching?

Who was the richest man inFrance when Joan of Arc led thetroops at Orleans?

Who was the richest man inItaly when Savonarola was burn-ed at the stake for his right-eousness and his preaching?

Who was the richest' man inEngland when Shakespeare waswriting Lear and Hamlet?

Who was the riches man inthe city of Washington whenAbraham Lincoln entered thatcity as President of the UnitedStates?

I cannot give the answer ofthese questions. I do not re-member. Do you?

A hundred years from nowevery one of you who may bereading these lines will be dead.Almost every one of you will beforgotten.

What can we do about it?Facing this cold fact, what shallwe give our time and effort to?

The banker can go back to hisbank and make some more mon-ey. The lawyer can return tohis office and take up new busi-ness.

And when death comes, all themoney and all the new businessand'all the new cases will haveto be dropped.

But go into the towns andcities of America. On everyplace there are a few namesthat live and are cherished.These are the few men and wom-en who, having lived and served,have not been forgotten.

They provided for their ownimmortality by attaching them-selves to a great cause.

The cause lives and they livewith it."

Ross Richardson has succeededin escaping from the land of theTin Lizzies and is back for thelast lap.

Stonewall Jackson Montgomeryis back in our midst again.

The Ten Commandmentsof Success

.1 Work hard. Hard work isthe best investment a man canmake.

2. Study hard. Knowledge en-ables a man to work more intelli-gently and effectively.

3. Have initiative. Ruts oftendeepen into graves.

4. Love your work. Then youwill find pleasure in mastering it.

5. Be exact. Slipshod meth-ods bring slipshod results.

6. Have the spirit of conquest.Thus you can successfully battleand overcome difficulties.

7. Cultivate personality. Per-sonality is to a man what per-fume is to the flower.

8. Help and share with others.The real test of business great-ness lies in giving opportunity toothers.

9. Be democratic. Unless youfeel right toward your fellowmenyou can never be a successfulleader of men.

10. In all things do your best.The man who has done his besthas done everything. The manwho :has done less than his besthas done nothing.

-Charles M. Schwab.

Volume 4 OCTOBER 1st, 1926 Number 6

Faculty Introduced atFirst Assembly

The feature of the first as-gembly of the 1926 schedule wasthe introduction of the facultyto the new students.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, formerDean and now President of thecollege, functioned as interloc-utor and in a very impressive-man~ner,, iwtroduced the a..riousmembers: of the faculty:::.

Dr. R. B. Bachman headed thelist and urged the students tokeep Service paramount and notto permit the almighty dollar tointerfer with the dispensing oftheir services. Whereupon the

oQrtheast corner emitted a groanand the Doctor said amen andsat down. Dr. E. E. Steffen,guardian of the exchequer, fol-lowed and extended a heartywelcome to the new students,complimenting them on theirselection of D.M.S.C.O. as theiralma mater.

Miss Ava Johnson, one of thenew members on the faculty wasnext introduced, and being thedaughter of the president, threwthe proverbial monkey wrench inthe "Prexy's" wheels of dignityby telling the student body ofthe rules for a successful collegecareer as were laid down by herfather on the event of her leav-ing home for college. Dr. John-son's admonitions, according to.Miss Johnson, were somethinglike the following: "Always siton the front row, for almost in-variably the instructor looksover the front row and you willbe able to regain, lost sleep -with-out detection.. Always take atleast one letter and one news-paper to class for reading mater-ial, because it has a tendency tomake the instructor jealous andsuch is to your advantage. Ap-pear to be taking notes. Neverfail to inform your instructorthe day before examinations, thatyou are crazy about his course,especially the way he gives thework. This routine is always goodfor an "A" grade. And lastly, ifyou must sleep openly in class,be sure to snore, as that will im-press the instructor with yourproficiency in all things, regard-less of importance."' We mightadd that if Miss Johnson follow-ed the laws of her father, theycertainly worked to perfection.

Dr. John Woods,' the hansome-est man on the faculty, was nextintroduced and received quite anovation from the students bodyHe congratulated the frosh uportheir selection of Osteopathy astheir profession and welcomedthem to our midst. Dr. VirgeHalladay was next on the list


Now that we're here......

Sophs Lay Down Law

Getting off to an early startfor the year's interclass activi-ties, the sophomore class laiddown the traditional law for thefreshmen during the first weekof school. The following day amajority of the class of newcom-ers blossomed out in the mostapproved fashion with black tiesand hose, green caps, etc. As isusual there were and still are afew of a more reluctant'-natureand it is up to the Sophs to seethat they are "shown the light"and brought to time.

In the' past some rather noveland unique methods have beenintroduced for the enforcementof tlp Sophomore rules and it isexpected that this year will beno exception. It will be remem-bered that last year both theFreshmen and the Sophomores


Cupid Gets Two More

Paul Marquand, of the SeniorB class, and Miss Hazel Garlandof Des Moines, were married atIndianola, Iowa, August 28th.Attaboy, Paully, congratulations,

J, H. (Mac) Friend of the Jun-ior class was the second victimof the poisoned darts of the lit-tle undressed god. Mac marriedMiss Mildred Deel of Spirit Lake,Iowa. The customary handshak-ing and passing of cigars is inorder.

Question in Chem Lab duringexperiment of replacing waterin a bottle with inspired air:-

"What gasses are now in thebottle?"

Answer by Freshman (also in-spired)-"There ain't no gases.Just air."

"STILLETTO" SCOOPSENTIRE PROFESSIONON COLLEGE RATING

The K.O.C. "Stilletto" securedone of the greatest "scoops" or"beats" in the history of theprofession when they publishedthe article "Osteopath SchoolsRated", in their issue of Septem-ber 17th.

:The story opens;- "At a meetingof the Association of OsteopathicColleges held in Louisville at thetime of the national convention,a rating was given the variouscolleges"; and continues, "Twocolleges were placed on the ClassB rating. These schools, KansasCity and Des Moines, are doingcreditable work but do not con-form to the high requirementsmaintained by Class A schools,and they will be given one yearin which to raise their stand-ards."

The most amazing part of thestory. is the fact that Dr. L. VanH. Gerdine, President of the As-sociation of Osteopathic Colleges,wires us that "The AssociatedColleges did not discuss status ofany school." Dr. R. B. Gilmour,President of the American Os-teopathic Association also wiredus that "Stilletto has no author-ity for statement. Have full andcomplete recognition. No provis-ion exists for A and B classifica-tion in A.O.A." In view of thisenlightenment from the twomen who are at the head of theprofession, it would appear thatthe fact had been scooped as wellas the substance.

The whole incident arouses thequestion in our mind as to thereason for such an unfoundedstatement. Was it probably theresult of mis-information or wasit the futile, puerile, acrimon-ious attempt to regain a rapidlydwindling prestige in the Osteo-pathic profession? It is indeeddifficult to fathom the circum-stances under which such a gross.mis-understanding could occur.

College Visitors

Dr. Auger, class of January,'24, who has been practicing inColfax, Washington, has been vis-iting at the college.

Dr. Ross Robertson, honor stu-dent of the class of May, '26, wasin the city over the week-end.Ross has located at Worthington,Minnesota.

Dr. Frank Heibel, of the classof January, '26, stopped at thecollege a few days while en routeto Iowa Falls, Iowa, where he isplanning on opening an office.

Atits subsidence the Dean remark-ed that the more the studentsapplauded the shakier he became.After the customary welcomingremarks to both the new and oldstudents the Dean launched intoa review of the new rules regu-lating attendance and the work-ings of the demerit system whichis a new feature in the college.

$2,500.00 For NewMicroscopes

During the past week the col-lege authorities have placed theorder for a number of the bestgrade, latest model, high power-ed microscopes, which will totalover twenty-five hundred dollars.

This is the second such orderin the past year and is but a partof the program the Trustees ofthe college are pursuing whichwill ultimately place D.M.S.C.O.at the head of the list as thebest equipped Osteopathic col-lege.

The progressive attitude of theinstitution is manifest, not onlyin '-the constanta purchasing ofnew and modern equipment, butin every possible manner. Eachdepartment is maintained in "up-to-the-minute" manner. This ismost evident in the laboratoriesof the college, -which are com-plete in every detail.

From the Field

H'OW TO REMOVE THINGSFROM THE EYE

First, blink the eye rapidly.When this fails, pull the lid

down over the eye, roll the eyeupwards and wait for a minuteor so. Then remove fingers fromeyelid. Repeat.

When this fails, hold the noseand cough. After three coughs,sneeze, still holding the nose.

If this fails, close the othereye-not the one which hurts-and rub the lid gently towardthe nose. Thiswill set up a sym-pathetic motion in the other eyeand automatically remove theoffending cinder or horseshoe orwhatever is in the eye.

When this fails, try rolling theeye rapidly in circles, saying"Ah." at the same time. This isvey interesting to all who mayhappen to be watching you.

If this fails, and it will, trytapping the forehead-with asmall tack hammer.

As a last resort, go to thehospital.

When this fails, try suicide.

osteopathy Without Limitation01_

BRANCHING INTOATHLETICS

So many inquiries have cometo the writer, relative to thework of out Seniors with theathletic departments of the var-ious schools, that we are unableto answer these by letter. Itseems that more of the profes-sion are getting interested inthis type of service and it iswith considerable pleasure thatwe attempt to put down forthose of you who are interested,a few of the things we havefound out.

In the beginning, let us saythat we consider this type ofwork an essential in the practiceof Osteopathy. Those doing ath-letic work are merely so manymachines provided with a brain,but subject to physical damagethe same as if the brain wereabsent. The presence of thebrain enables the machine toavoid some damage, but not all.

The necessity for a doctor inathletic training is because thebody has responded to externalmechanical irritation in excess.The boys go into the game phys-ically fit. They come out dam-aged, due to trauma. It certainlyis logical to conclude that thephysician who is educated alongmechanical lines is much betterfitted to care for such injuriesthan one who in the practice ofhis profession has given little orno thought to the mechanicalcause of disease. It is for thisreason that we have been so suc-cessful in the care of these casesand this year as in the past, havebeen requested to take over thecare of teams in oui five highschools.

At the writing of this articleour Senior students are takingcare of over three hundred foot-ball boys, and have every oppor-tunity to observe the variety andquantity of injuries receivedWe venture to predict that inthe future you will see everycollege team using, during itstraining season, one or morecapable Osteopaths. Work withthem one season and they arespoiled. They want Osteopathyfrom then on.

If you are just getting intothis work there are some thingsto be considered on both sides.The coach must be sold on theidea, and we are happy to statethat in our experience we havenot found a coach that we hadto convince. The rule is thatthey seek our services.

With the coach with you, thenext thing is the necessaryequipment at the gym. You can-not take care of the boys on oneof the low benches usually seer

in the gym. Have two tablesmade, like the old straight Os-teopathic table, but withoutpadding. Use an old blanket overthe plain wood top. Two goodportable lamps are needed. Thesemay be secured from severalfirms. Aloe puts out a dandy atabout $15.00. These are neededto throw a concentrated dryheat on most of the cases of"Charley-horse".

See that you are provided withplenty of adhesive. You needmoleskin and the ordinary lighttype. Ankles, knees and wristsare provided with ligaments suf-ficient for ordinary use, but needto be reinforced when subjectedto the severe strains in mostathletic work. Better to use alittle too much tape and save anankle, than too little and see theboy go out for the season in theearly part of the. game. Gauzebandages in 1, 2 and 4-in. widthsmust be handy. 'Used sometimesto put on under strips of ad-hesive. Some of the boys will ac-quire skin injuries and will needdressings every day. Keep plentyof bandage and both dry and liq-uid germacides. Use the dry dur-ing the game. No boy wants togo back into the game with awet dressing.

Your own emergency bagshould contain the following:-Gauze bandage, cotton, adhesive,dry and liquid dressings, twoplaster bandages. Material fromwhich you can make a splint, aminor surgical kit, new skin,scissors, of course, and yourstethoscope and thermometer.

Do not rely on your sense oftouch to determine temperature.We have seen boys report for agame with a temperature of 101.So anxious to play that theywould go in when they should bein bed.

We are supposing that the gymis equipped with plenty of tow-els, hot and cold water.

Now take off your shirt andcall loudly for the squad. Youare ready to go to work.

Sophs Lay Down Law(Continued from page 1)

vied in seeing which could dothe most for the other fellow.If the Sophomores treated theFrosh to a buggy ride, the year-lings could not wait, but had toreturn the compliment beforesunrise. The ingenuity displayedby the individual members of theclasses was remarkable and thefestivities lasted until Home-coming, when the annual Push-ball game decided the victors.

Fraternity Notes

(Continued from page 2)an extended water trip throughIowa. "Ike" was running com-petition to "Red" Grange, havingpeddled ice all summer.

Bro. Shaw, the tent dweller,preceded Bro. Cudden by just afew hours. After touring fortwenty weeks his improvementin the game of billiards is veryremarkable.

Quite a few of the boys seemto enjoy a good, sociable game ofbilliards of late!

Brothers Jones and Platt ar-rived in a canary colored "gal-opy," freely bespattered withIowa gumbo mud. Platt is stillblowing away on his big basshorn. As yet he hasn't lost anyteeth.

The accumulation of big. highpowered cars has so congestedour driveway that it became nec-essary to put traffic and parkingrules into effect.

The two Canary Birds in theCrows Nest refinished last year'sroost in an alluring grey. Nowthey have the nerve to callthemselves Interior Decorators.

Brother Belf need have ndfear of starving after getting inthe field. He should always beable to get a job as a paper-hanger. He can paper a wholeroom in three days!

Old 4. Q. gave us a "lute" warmreception. The squirrels used itfor summer quarters and so wefound plenty of nuts lyingaround. The interior decorationswere unmolested and still holdtheir place, with a few additionshere and there. A strong triofrom Indiana and Mishigan nowoccupy the room.

D.M.S.C.O. Band aReality

In assemby, the 8th, Dr. VirgeHalladay announced that theband of D.M.S.C.O. was to be areality and not a mere possibil-ity.

A list had been circulated dur-ing the week preceding the meet-ing and a representative numberhad already signed up. Severaladded their musical ability thenand there. So that in the verynear future we expect to witnessthe first appearance of "Sousa'sRivals."

There is no reason availablewhy D.M.S.C.O. should not havean excellent band. With a stu-dent body the size of ours thereare surely enough tooters of suf-ficient experience to qualify.Last year's organization wasquite creditable. The only criti-cism being that it didn't lastlong enough. Let's make it a per-manent organization this time.Every one of you fellows whoever thought about playing any-thing from dinner bell to asteel saw or comb, come "out forthe band." We might be able toraise the roof. sufficiently tonecessitate a new building.

Food With a KickAt a reception at the Royal Col-

lege of Surgeons in London thepresident gave a light and hum-orous discourse on The Psychol-ogy of Animals Swallowed Alive.He said the subject occurred tohim when wondering whether an-imals. which swallowed their preyalive endured discomfort from theefforts of the prey to get outagain. He found that a fish pro-vided with powerful teeth for thecrunching of coral upon which itlived, when swallowed alive bysharks often gnawed its way outand escaped.

MrS. Kipling told him that onseeing a grass snake in his gardenswallow a frog he had the snakekilled and opened, when out camethe frog still alive, though cov-ered with slime and showing somemarks of the snake's teeth.-.Day-ton News.

Diner - How do they makehash here?

Waiter--They don't make it-it accumulates!

General Clinic Rushed

Since the opening of schoolthe General clinic has been keptbusy with a steady influx of newpatients.

A new plan has been inaugu-rated in this department and isproving quite successful duringthe brief time it has been inoperation. The three classes thatare: taking the-, work.. haye beendivided into two sections, there-by enabling the individual stu-dent to come in closer contactwith the cases that are examinedbefore his section.

Another 1926 inovation is inthe method of examining the pa-tients. When a new patient reg-isters in the clinic, he is assignedto the student who is to treathim. The student then takes acomplete case history and makeshis examination and all necessaryand indicated laboratory tests.When this has been completed,the patient is taken before theclinic and examined. Followingthis, the Clinican or his assistantgoes over the student's examina-tion in the treating room, makessuch corrections of diagnosis asare indicated and demonstratespersonally just where and whythe student has fallen down. 'Thestudent is then graded accord-ingly. In this manner it is in-tended to train the students inthe taking of thorough case his-torys and to make the proper de-ductions from their physical andlaboratory examinations. Thenew system is proving quite suc-cessful.

The cases coming before theclinic this semester have beenexceptionally good and above all,varied. The customary "peren-nials" being a marked minorityso far.

Grad Marries

Dr. R. B. Gordon of the classof May' 26, was recently marriedto Miss Louisa Peterson at Mad-ison, Wisconsin. Congratulations,n'everything, Dick!

"Here's my bill." said the sur-geon. "Wish you would pay down$100 and then $25 per week."

"Sounds like buying an auto-mobile," said the patient.

"I am," said the surgeon.

Atlas Club FormallyOpens New Home

ATLAS CLUB HOUSE2141 West Grand Avenue

The new home of the localchapter of the Atlas Club wasformally opened at a receptiongiven Sunday afternoon, Oct 3rd.

The club is to be congratulatedupon the securing of the newchapter house, which will provea real home for them. Furnishedin a very tasteful manner, theintangible atmosphere of a "frat"house is first that greets -the vis-itor. A large entry hall with ahomey fireplace' and spaciouslounging rooms take up the en-tire first floor. The second is de-voted to study rooms, and thethird to dormitory sleeping ac-ccmodations. ...

The afternoon hours were de-voted to informal entertainmentof the guests and inspection ofthe house. The wives of the mar-ried members served tea. TheMusic Masters Orchestra pro-vided the musical diversion. Fac-ulty members, local field menand the student body attended.

Still Drops Season'sOpeners

Although the grid warriors ofStill college have dropped thefirst two games of the scheduleto strong and worthy opponents,Coach Frank Sutton feels thathis men will yet come thru andround out a successful season.The first game of the year waslost 12 o t- a tor parsons at: Fair-field, while the following Fridaya powerful Haskell Indian elevenswamped them to the tune of55 to 0.

The contest with Parsons be-gan with both teams resortingto frequent punts and the visit-ors having the best of the kick-ing game. However, an end runand a short pass back of the goalline by Parsons scored the firsttouchdown and the Osteopathscould not overcome this advan-tage of the first quarter, eventhough they fought gamely tothe finish.

The home team added anothertouchdown and goal in the thirdquarter when they recovered ashort punt and dashed throughguard on a cut back play twenty-five yards to the line. With thescore 12-0 against them the Sut-tonmen made a strong bid for atouchdown by recovering a fum-bled punt on the fifteen yardline of their opponents. But theParsons line turned back fourstraight plays and the opportun-ity was lost.

The following week our squadjourneyed to Lawrence, Kansas,and engaged the powerful Has-kell Indian eleven. The Indianshave one of the greatest teamsin the country, and nm1otheredthe Stillonians under a slashingrunning attack led by McGrane,an All-American candidate thisseason.

Coach Sutton believes that theIndians have-their greatest teamthis year and predicts that theywill make a wonderful showing.The Osteopaths did their bestand were highly complimentedby the winning mentor for put-ting up such a battle againstodds.

The Still backfield has beenquite a problem this year but itlooks like a fast combinationhas been developed with Russelland Shaw at halves, McIntosh atquarter and Devine at full.Plude, a local high school star,is also making a fine impressionwith his line-plunging. The openfield running of Cassis, a Mar-rietta high school boy, will verylikely land him a regular berthbefore the end of the season.

A GREAT MEDICALDISCOVERY

Diseases May Be Traced to Ob-scure Sublaxation of Joint

After summing up the storiesthat appeared in numbers of pa-pers about the findings made bythe staff of research workers ofthe Cornell Medical College, thatdiseases affecting the vital or-gans may be traced to an obscuresubluxation of a single joint, thePhiladelphia Record in an edit-orial says:

"Apart from its message ofhope for countless sufferers,there are two aspects of this an-nouncement which are of thehighest interest. First, the re-search has been supported by a'whole-hearted co-operation ofthe staff of Cornell Medical Col-lege, by dissection, study of thehuman skeleton, experiment up-on patients and x-ray examina-tions; hence the discovery isbacked by important medicalauthority. Second, the theorydescribed as new has the beenwidely applied outside the pro-fession for fifty years, and untilrecently was denounced by reg-ular physicians as a preposterousfallacy.

"As everybody knows, osteo-pathy is a system of treatmentbased upon the theory thatstructural derangement of thebody is the predisposing causeof disease; that such derange-ment produces nerve irritationand local congestion which dis-turbs the blood supply and thenutritional and functional pro-cesses, thereby weakening resis-tance and promoting the inroadsof countless maladies; and thatby proper structural readjust-ment the natural processes arerestored and enabled to rebuilda healthy organism..

"This is precisely the principlewhich the Cornell scientists havesuccessfully applied. They havetraced the cause of a score olailments affecting vital organs



(The following is the secondinstallment of a series of ar-ticles prepared by Dr. H. V.Halladay in reply to the num-erous requests for informationrelative to this type of work.Save each installment and havethe complete story when fin-ished.)

Chapter II.We left you with your shirt

off ready to go to work; Yourfirst job is to go over each boyand give him a -thoro physicalexamination. Why? You know aswell as anyone that there aremany boys whose greatest desireis to play football or take partin athletics, regardless of beingphysically fit for the game. Theyare running on pep and nothingelse. They will hang on longerthan one who is not in quite asgood shape, but they will comeout of the game completely ex-hausted and are really doingthemselves a grave injustice, re-gardless of their enthusiasm.Also for your own informationyou want to know something inadvance about these boys. If youdo discover any conditions thatmay influence their work, reportit to the coach and warn the boy,himself. Watch the boys inscrimage. Try to figure whysome always lag. Your businessis to watch them, physically.

Your greatest number of in-iuries will be of the musculartype and these will occur mostlyin the first ten days of practice.The most of the boys have hadvery little, if any, summer train-ing, and here they come intostrenuous physical training -straining every muscle beyondits power of endurance. The re-sult is a series of "CharleyHorse" cases. These will. make uptwenty-five percent of your totalinjuries, so you must be preparedto properly take care of them.

This chapter will be devotedentirely to the care of this typeof injury; the remaining seventy-five percent will have to wait.

When we think of the pathol-ogy of this muscle injury, wepicture a bruise of soft tissue.There will be the usual resultantinfiltration of blood around thepart and consequent swelling.Nature has started the repairimmediately. But in the processNature takes her time, and thatmeans considerable loss of play-ing time to the boy. He resentsthis and uses the limb and ag-gravates the condition. Supposewe have a case here. A boy hassuffered a strain or trauma af-fecting the heavy muscle of thefront of the thigh. Get him tothe gym as soon as possible. Thesooner the better. If you can getthis case within twenty minutes,you will save hours of sufferingDO NOT start in by manipulat-ing over the injury. This willcause more contractions to startup. Leave the swelling alone asfar as manipulation is concernedApply immediately alternate hotand cold packs. Two minutes hot-and we mean hot followed byone minute cold, and keep thisup for about thirty minutes


The True Dietetics

A woman may be able to puther foot on the starter and steer;he wheels when they get going,but that does not make her amechanic. And there is many ageneral practitioner with anitemized list of food for this,that and the other complaint,who is not a dietitian.

Dietetics in a true sense ismuch less an empirical compila-tion of food lists and much morea scientific application of chem-istry and physiology than seemsto be widely recognized by thegeneral practitioner. Often anotebook full of hastily jotted"menus" collected under variousheads of specific diseases con-stitutes a training in dietetics.But it is emphatically true thata real training in dietetics as ascience of bodily care and repairis not based on food lists.

The student of organic func-tioning, who knows the physicaland chemical changes during di-gestion; the locale of digestionand absorption for each kind offood; the specific value eachtype of food has in the body;something of the realtive pro-portions of foods in a mixed dietand a definite notion of compari-tive "digestibility" and "avail-ibility," is well on the way tobeing a practical and scientificdietitian without a menu cardin his file.

Except in the instances of defi-nately and specifically metabolicabnormality, dietetic treatmentcan be correctly developed onthe basis of the above items. Theextent to which a general prac-titioner may be successful in thiskind of food therapy dependsonly upon the extent and accu-racy of his knowledge of foods,chemistry and physiology, andhis ability to apply and correlatethat information.

The use of previously devised,stereotyped food lists is a super-ficial way of dealing with animportant treatment. It crampsprescriptions into the limits ofone's memory for minute fooddetails. It is likely to lead to amonotony which results in par-tial loss of the very food valuethat is being counted on.

Prepared menus are too fre-quently taken from booklets ad-vertising a proprietary or com-mercial food and biased accord-ingly. The true dietitian is onewho builds upon a fundementalknowledge. He proves and justifies himself at every step. He isin no danger of being lead intoby-paths of food fadisms bysomebody's hear-say. The manwho knows body laws knows foodlaws. He need search no furtherfor information.

(Continued from page 2)These thirty minutes now willsave you hours later and'will insome cases get the case up thenext day without much pain orsuffering. Following the packs,manipulate the muscle aroundthe point of injury to withinabout one inch of its margin. DONOT start chopping the musclewith the edges of your handslike an old fashioned butcherchopping a'piece of round steak.That is not considered good prac-tice now. Normalize the part ofthe spine that has to do withcontrolling the involuntary im-pulses to the arteries that inturn supply the injured muscles.

Try this once and you will besurprised at the results. The re-sponse is in proportion to the

.extent of the injury. The slightinjuries naturally respond muchquicker, but let one go for a fewhours without treatment andnote the results.

If you have an understandingwith the coach in the beginningand you say a boy will have tolay off three days, the coachknows you mean it and that itis best in the end. Don't letthem out too quick, and keepthem on light practice until youfeel that they can go in withoutbeing carried off the field in afew minutes. Repeats should berare unless acquired accidentally.If you are getting repeats thereis something wrong with the waythat boy handles himself.

Also look for chronic lesionsin the area of the spine associ-ated with the origin of the mo-tor nerves to those sensitivemuscles. Find it, fix it and letit alone. Watch for injuries tothe abdominal muscles. A strainhere, not always mentioned bythe boy, may lead to hernialater on. Study- the leg muscles.They may contract, and whilenot completely disable the boy,may lead to foot trouble.

So far you have needed nothingbut your head, hands, towels, hotand cold water.

"The physicians, says the dis-patch are still mystified by theirsuccess. 'We know we have doneit,' the say, 'but the question is,how did we do it?' They are seek-ing 'the connecting link whichthey are certain exists betweerthe sympathetic nervous systenand the sacro-iliac joint.' Yetthis very link was one of the in-itial discoveries of Dr. A. TStill, who founded osteopathy ir1874. Far from being a new revelation, it is described in the

THE LOG BOOK

Encyclopedia Britannica in theseterms:

" 'A gross, frequent, palpableand easily distinguishable lesionis that of the sacro-iliac articu-lation. It is highly productive of ]functional perversions of the ]sciatic nerve, pelvic viscera andthe body equilibrium. Before Dr.Still's founding of osteopathy in1874 anatomists described thisas an immovable joint. He de-monstrated the opposite by re-cognizing it as a moveable joint 1and correcting its derangements. 1This disturbance was among hisfirst citations and teachings asan example of osteopathic lesion.Only within the last few decadeshave other schools of medicalpractice recognized that this ar-ticulation is subject to this les-ion and its resulting pathologicaldisturbances.'

"No one will withold from theCornell scientists the tributedue to their devoted work, thesuccess of which brings new hopeof relief to countless sufferers.Yet is it a matter of incontest-able record that the theory theyhave now demonstrated has beenfundamental in osteopathic prac-tice for half a century, and thatits application, now indorsed,has been persistently decried bythe medical profession as a spec-ies of charlatanism.

"It would be presumptuousfor lay opinion to pass judgmentupon the merits of any rationalsystem of treating human ills.But surely the Cornell demon-stration should create betweenmedical science and osteopathya more friendly spirit and a morefruitful co-operation in the ser-vice of the afflicted." - (King-ston, Ont., British Whig).


Dr. Chas. F. Frazer of Escon-dido, Calif., writes that he stillhas the best practice in Califor-nia. Twenty-six years and neverlost a patient. He states furtherthat his work is strictly cash andthat on account of his age he isready to retire but does not wantto leave his patients withoutsomeone to treat them. Anyonewishing further information rel-ative to Dr. Frazer's practicemay write him direct.

The decora-tions were in "Freshman Green."Balloons were hung throughoutthe house, bearing the name andstate of the Pledges.

The other party was in theform of a progressive dinner.The three courses were given atthe homes of Mrs. C. F. Spring,Mrs. Arthur Kenworthy and Mrs.H. V. Halladay.

LOCAL MEDIC RAPS-AND IS RAPPED

The following articles recentlyappeared in the local daily pa-pers. The reply is from the penof Dr. R. B. Gilmour of SiouxCity, Iowa, president of our na-tional association.

DR. GLOMSET RAPSFORMS OF QUAKERY

What he termed the four ma-jor forms of quackery that existtoday and are directly opposedto the scientific practice of medi-cine were scored in an addressby Dr. D. J. Glomset who spokeat the Service club luncheon atHotel Savery this noon. Faithhealers, whom Dr. Glomseltermed "highbrow quacks"; patent medicine advocates; osteopa-thy and chiropractic schools anc.-- n - -,_1 Ymn-mra roz of fiteacners, ain IlltmIyUlIJ j- t"L

the principles of the practicecannot stand up against' the teststhat the thirst for knowledgethat characterizes the progressof scientific medical research requires," the speaker said.

CHAP. IIIWe are not quite thru with

the Charley Horse cases. So farwe have not mentioned the useof rolling, ironing, diathermy,quartz or other type of light,mud packs, taping, etc. Each ofthese will be taken up now withthe stress on results rather thanpopularity. There are somecoaches and trainers who willnot change their old methodsand while each of these have aplace in the care of muscle in-juries they should be made tokeep their place and not try todo their turn when the curtainhas been rung down on them.

Rolling is a method employedby some to aid in the relief ofcongestion following musclestrain. The method usually em-ployed is to secure a mediumsize ordinary rolling pin, thetype that is so popular with Mrs.Mutt. The injured part is placedupward on the table and the roll-ing begins. Back and forth overthe area parallel to the fibres ofthe muscle. Rolling done prop-erly will do no harm and usuallyhelps as it is intended to do. Thebad feature is that an inexpe-rienced hand is usually given thejob and the rolling process con-tinues for too long a time orthere is too much pressure ap-nlied and the end result is ad-ded irritation. Rolling shouldnot be done first. If used at all,it should be done the followingday when most of the acute

,swelling has disappeared.Ironing is just as the title im-

methods of treatment are betterin this type of injury.

Dry heat from any type oflight is good. You will be dis-appointed in the results you getfor you will expect more. Thistreatment will have to be useda good deal as a substitute forpersonal attention. Every boyshould have access to dry heatfrom an electric light and toldhow and when to use it himself.If he has nothing else, see thathe has a 100 watt lamp fittedwith a bright tin reflector andinstruct him to use it at nightjust before he turns in and notto use the muscle after abouttwenty to thirty minutes treat-ment. We have seen cases keepup thru the season by using suchan ordinary lamp and the effectsseem to be as good as othersthat were treated with an expen-sive lamp'ri outfit. Every gymshould have two of the portabletype for your use. They are anessential part .of your equip-ment.

Mud packs are messy, taketime to put on and take off andproduce no better results thanthe more simple methods of us-ing heat.

Tape used judiciously is an-other essential. Remember thattape is used to provide the play-er with a support that Naturehas not furnished or that hasbeen weakened. Tape has an al-most unlimited number of usesalong these lines. In these casesof injured muscle we many timeswant to reinforce the area, pro-tect it or limit its use. To ap-ply tape properly with the idea

I of doing something for the mus-cles, the muscles involved haveto be studied. Briefly our expe-

l rience has beeen this. For pro-tection, where the player hasbeen injured and is still subject

i to a return of the condition, alattice taping is best. Stripsabout an inch wide are put over

e the part as if woven. A smallspace should be left between the

, strips so that small squares ofskin are visable. For reinforc-

,ing run the strips parallel to thelong axis of the muscle, and ex-tend the tape across the jointand below for a short distance

stepped out of bounds on his wayto the final line. The ball wasplaced on the ten yard markerand on the first play Simpsonwas penalized five yards for be-ing offside. Three tries at theline placed the ball one footfrom victory. It was then theofficials decided that the Olsteo-paths had been given their fourdowns. Captain Graham did hisbest to. get the fighting Pirates'

their rightful last try for atouchdown but to no avail and agreat opportunity was lost.

Previous to the last two con-tests the Suttonmen sustained adefeat at the hands of St. Am-brose at Davenport, 7-0. Fourtimes the Des Moines elevenmarched to scoring territory butfailed to pack the winningpunch.

Every man on the squad isproud of the new moniker andthe fighting Pirates are roundinginto a smooth working combina-tion. The backfield is growingstronger with each contest andthe only worry for the local men-tor is to keep his veteran linefrom injury.

Homecoming Plans AreCompleted

(Continued from page 1)In the evening, the Homecom-

ing ball will be held at the Co-tillion ball room. The best or-chestra in the city has been en-gaged for the evening.

All field men in traveling dis-tance are expected to attendwhether a D.M.S.C.O. grad or not.

' This will afford you A.S.O. grad; sr an excellent opportunity to seea

the gang from your alma materand to see the Rams strut theirstuff on the football field.

Come early and stay late. Ade-] quate accommodations are avail-

- able for everyone.

New Piano for ChapelThe college has procured a

new piano for the assemblya room, to replace the rather an-s tiquated specimen that has beend in service for a number of years.

' The new instrument has an ex-t cellent tone and functioned per-o fectly in its initial appearance.

To derive some revenue fromt the old "Stand-by" it was de-- cided to raffle it off one morning-in assembly. Every student in- the room put his name, togetheri- with a dime, in the "hat" and thed lucky name was drawn. Harolda Devine found himself the proudi. possessor of the notable instru-h ment, and the music fund wasd automatically enriched to theLs extent of about twenty-three

dollars.

PIRATES WALLOP RAMS 21-0THIRD HOMECOMING

HUGE SUCCESSThe Third Annual Homecoming

of D.M.S.C.O. was a great success_jrom all standpoints.

For three days previous, pepsessions were held at ten fifteeneach morning. Enthusiasmreached the high point Fridaymorning when the student bodygathered at the college beforemeeting the Kirksville train. Im-promptu rehearsals of the col-lege song and yells occurred ev-ery time ten or more studentsarrived at one point simultane-ously. The building rocked onits foundation-the windows rat-tled-the walls echoed back the"Oski Wow Wow's," "Bones andLigaments"-the band functionedmiraculously and the riot squadwere held in readiness. Is itany wonder that we beat Kirks-ville?

The K.C.O.S. contingent ar-rived at eleven thirty and wereduly met and welcomed by thegang,. The bands blared forthand everyone exercised theirlungs. Fraternity and Sororityluncheons were the order of thehour and everyone reassembledat two o'clock at the WesternLeague ball park to witness thefeature event of the program.The Pirates in true bucaneeringform forced the Rams to walkthe plank to the tune of twenty-one to nothing.

Between halves, the annualFrosh-Sophomore pushball battlewas fought to a finish before ahighly appreciative audience. Thefight was even until the last fewseconds of play when the powerof youth asserted itself and theFreshmen were able to push overthe lone marker of the contest.

Following the football game,food was again in order, and thevarious organizations on the cam-pus were hosts to their visitingbrothers 'and sisters. Then en-sued the well known rush for theshower, the mirror and ultimate-ly the best girl and the whirl ofthe evening was on at the Co-tillion ball room.

The ball room was filled to ca-pacity and the program of spe-cialties, Ladies and Gentlemen'schoice, Tag and Senior's Onlyfollowed in too rapid successionfor those enjoying the party. AlLevich's Serenaders supplied the"toe tickling" noise. During in-termission the President of thecollege, Dr. C. W. Johnson, ad-


D.M.S.C.O. NIGHT ATLOCAL THEATRE

Co-incident with the showingof the photoplay starring "Red"Grange, "One Minute to Play,"the management of the -Des-Moines theatre designated oneevening performance in honor ofeach of the eduactional institu-tions in the city.

Tuesday evening, November 9thwas "Still College Night." Thestudent body turned out in repre-sentative numbers and wereseated in a reserved section. Fol-lowing the showing of the fea-ture picture, the saxophone sex-tette appeared on the stage andunder the direction of Dr. Hal-laday, the student body sang theCollege Song. Yells were givenand the Iowa Corn Song and ourOsteopathic version followed.

The members of the footballsquad were seated in the boxesand each was introduced to theaudience with the aid of thespotlight.

The sax sextette was composedof Dr. Halladay, Warthman, Gar-ton, Steckler, Taylor and Utter-back.

Trimity SwampsPurple and White

Playing their third contest ineight days, the Suttonmen wentdown to a 20-0 defeat before thefast and shifty Trinity eleven.The Sioux City outfit proved oneof the best drilled teams seen inthis section for some time.

Bruised and battered fromtheir game with Simpson threedays before, the Pirates were nomatch for the openfield runningof the visiting backs, who twist-ed their way for long gains thruthe secondary. After the firstquarter, when two touchdownswere scored against the locals,the game was played on eventerms, with the exception of thelast quarter, when another sixpoints were registered.

In the third period the headySheets led his men in a sixtyyard drive to the enemy's fifteenyard marker, where the ball waslost on downs in a backfield mix-up. The Suttonmen never again

ithreatened."Buzz" Brown gave the Osteo-

· paths plenty of trouble when-ever he chose to carry the oval,while Sheets, Russell, Grahamand Lillard played well for thePurple and White.

DEAN SCHWARTZIS PROUD FATHER

.; / , t

Dr. J. P. "Pinky" Schwartz,Dean of the college and Presi-dent and Surgeon in Chief ofthe Des Moines General Hospital,is the proud father of a son bornSaturday night, October 30th.

Contrary to the time honorednatal accoutrement of the GoldenSpoo.n, young John P. Jr., arrivedfully equipped with rubbergloves, a Bard-Parker knife anda can of ether,. Father, natur-ally, was inordinately proud andappeared at the college the fol-lowing Monday morning ladenwith copious quantities of candyand smokes.

Mrs. Schwartz is rapidly recov-ering.

Beakis Rubro Dis-covere,d at D.M.S.C.O.

One of the prominent studentsof the college recently appearedin classes suffering from a dreadmalady known amongst selectcircles as Beakis Rubro. J. H."Mac" Friend, cheer leader, .wa sthe unfortunate victim.

In checking the history of thecase it was discovered that Machad entered into a betting con-tract with one M. W. "Red" Max-field, also a member of our au-gust student body, based uponthe outcome of the Iowa-Minne-sota game.

As every one knows., Iowadropped the game like it washot, and as a result Mac had tosubmit to having his proboscusredecorated with rosy red mer-curochrome at three thirty inthe afternoon in the middle ofthe street at one of the busiestdown town intersections.

In addition to the artisticphase of the bet, the loser hadto remain in situ for one hourand repeat every thirty secondsin a loud and manly voice, "I beton Iowa; what a fool I was."

It has been rumored'that as aresult of the Michigan-Ohicgame, some one is going to beon the receiving end of a nicelong wheel barrow ride.

GRAHAM ANDLILLARD STAR

The smoke of battle clearedbefore the shadows of a settingsun on the Western horizon re-vealing- at the--top o-.. a Pi.ate....ship the skull and cross-bones ofa black flag floating calm andvictorious in the Novemberbreeze. While the Buccaneer en-signia waved proudly from thetop mast, the Rams, equallycourageous but defeated, sailedtheir battered hulk southward.

Never before had victoryperched on Stillonian shouldersand this was perhaps largely re-sponsible for the eagerness withwhich each man entered the fray.Also inspired by the fightingspirit of Captain "Ab," the Pur-ple and White turned backpractically every attack and atthe same time sent fierce broad-sides to tear holes in the Ramsdefense.

The followers of Coach FrankSutton's stalwarts had longawaited this day, but they werewell repayed by seeing twenty-one points scored against theenemy without an adverse coun-ter. A great defensive line,charging in perfect precisioncrashed through the visitors for-ward wall to smother the ballcarrier in his first steps. TheK.C.O.'s aerial attempts werealso crushed before the fastcharging Pirates with not a yardgained in eight trys.

Besides ..the splendid work ..ofCaptain Graham the playing ofSam Lillard was an outstandingfeature of the contest. The vet-eran, Gerald "Race" Myersroamed from his center positionon dcfense to hurl himself intoevery skirmish and play thegreatest game of his long ca-reer.

The local Osteopathic machinefound themselves in a position toscore three times in the firsthalf, but errors spoiled eachchance. At one time the ballwas carried over the goal lineonly to be fumbled when the Pi-rate back was hard hit by theopposition. Kirksville recoveredthe oval for a touchback, andthe opportunity was lost.

It was really the injection ofthe elusive "Bennie" Devine intoa faltering Pirate lineup late inthe third quarter that put thescoring punch into the Suttonmen when they seemed doomedby errors to a scoreless tie. Theformer Des Moines high school

NATIONAL ANDSTATE OFFICIALS

AT HOMECOMINGThe presence of the National

Dr. R. B. Gilmour, Presidentof A. O. A. of Sioux City, at-tended the pep meeting at thecollege Thursday. Dr. Gilmourcomplimented the college on thespirit manifested and stated thatthe occasion was rather embar-rassing to him as D.M.S.C.O. washis home school but that K.C.O.S.was his alma mater. However,the embarrasment did not lastas he was evidently thoroughlyenjoying the game the next after-noon.

APPLAUSEThe applause or, perhaps bet-

ter, the noise, that fills the as-sembly room, and emanates intothe hall during our Friday morn-ing get-together, seems to be alittle out of keeping with therefinement of most of the talentthat appears on the stage. Asone of our recent entertainersremarked, she did not knowwhether she was being applaudedor boohed off the stage.

It seems as though the studentbody as a whole caters to thebaser, rather than the more re-fined side of life. Anyone whohas ever attended a Universityknows that the applause accorded,any entertainer there is not ofthe yelping, hilarious tpye. Con-sequently, as a rule, it is some-what misunderstood, by ourneighboring ocllege people, whenthey appear before us.

Rightfully, there is no placein the world for loud, unorgan-ized, yelping, bellowing, andotherwise mob-like applause thatis usually demonstrated at mostof our Friday morning assem-blies. Not even in a pep meeting.If we are going to have cheeringat our football games let us gettogether, and give some organ-ized, sane yells. During assemblyconfine our appreciation to areasonable amount of hand clap-,ping, and leave out imitatingvoices of the animals of thejungle.

SMOKINGIt will be remembered that,

about a year ago, it was decidedby the faculty and students,smoking should be confined tothe basement. It appears nowas though there might have beensome misunderstanding, or some-body slickered us.

The casual observer will notethat at the present time theabove misunderstanding has notbeen carried out by a large num-ber of the students. Betweenmost every period we have a con-gregation on the landing leadingto the basement-so large thatit is almost impossible to pass-taking their bit of nicotine. Also,it is becoming a common prac-tice to smoke in the windows ofthe assembly room, leaving themwide open, giving no considera-tion at all for the comfort ofthose who are in their seats.

If a man doesn't have enoughwill power to go at least twoperiods without smoking, let himeither go to the basement forhis stimulation, or, if he mustsmoke upstairs, go out on the fire


CHAPTER IVIn looking over our notes on

the foot and ankle it seems thatwe have almost enough to writea fair sized book. There is thismuch about it. The foot and an-kle are just as important in ath-letics as the brain at the otherend of the body. Many a gameor record has been lost becauseof discomfort in the region ofthe foot or ankle. Ofttimes theathlete is not conscious of thecondition, his enthusiasm makinghim temporarily forget it. Theseare the cases that we always ex-pect to come under the wire firstand when we wake up we findthat a dark horse has taken thehonors. The loser has to fallback on the "not-up-to-form" ex-cuse, the real reason being thatthere was some slight foot orankle trouble that held him backjust enough to lose. We mustgive detailed attention to ourathletes feet. They use them al-most continuously.

Let us first look over the con-ditions we have to meet in thistype of work. Many lessons oc-cur that seem of little impor-tance yet they put a brake on aquick get-a-way. We refer toskin lesions and toe nail condi-tions. Corns are troublesome,painful and often stubborn. Cal-louses come in the same class.Only last week I saw a callous asbig as a dollar and fully a quar-ter of an inch thick on a play-er's foot. He told me he couldn'tmake a quick start on that foot atall. He is a high school boy, sev-enteen years old. Unless he getsrid of the callous he will havetrouble with that foot all therest of his life. Blisters belongin the same class with othermentioned skin conditions. Theseare easily handled if done right.Watch for small pustules appear-ing on the dorsum of the footwhere there are hair follicles.See that the boys take propercare of their nails. An ingrownnail can easily lose the game.Bunions are not so common inthe young players, but they arenot difficult to acquire and youwill be surprised if you closelyexamine the feet of a group. Ihave seen quite a few cases of"hammer toe" in the young play-ers. These sometimes causetrouble. They should be operat-ed upon at least six weeks be-fore the season begins.

The main cause tor these su-perficial lesions is improperlyfitted shoes. There is no use forus to go into a long argument asto the best type of last. Themain thing is to see that theshoe fits well. Not too loose nortight. In either case we knowthat a damage will be done. Lastyears shoes may still be fairlygood and will perhaps do forpractice or for some of the subs.Bevare of last years shoes. The

escape, and close the window.Keeping the windows closed dur-ing these cold mornings, would,no doubt, be as much appreciatedby the faculty, as by the stu-dents who must stay in this roomfor their classes.

insoles are warped and the coun-ters are broken. They are thebig cause of blisters, corns, cal-louses and bunions. Better givethem to your opponents.

Now let us look under the skinand see what we are up against.Foot and ankle injuries of themore violent type can be classi-fied into three groups. Sprainsfirst because in every injurythere will be some sprain. Frac-tures next. Not so common, butpresent often when least sus-pected. Dislocations last. It isunusual to find a dislocation.They occur, but they are rarenow, when we usually go into agame prepared, so that they arealmost unknown. Minor disloca-tions occur in the form of fallenarches or deviations of the tar-sals and occasionally of the in-ferior tibio-fibular articulation.

We must give considerablethought to sprains. If we picturethe sprained ankle we may nothave a very definite idea of whatis wrong. We will have to con-sider first what has been injured.Eliminating bone, for that wouldbe a fracture, we have left liga-ments and muscles with theirtendons. Ligaments come firstbecause of greater frequency.What has happened when we saya ligament is sprained? We havevery few elastic ligaments in thebody. They are placed where acertain amount of rebound isnecessary. The ligaments aroundthe ankle and foot region are notelastic. The elastic step we liketo refer to is due to perfect re-sponse of muscles. The liga-ments in this region are for thepurpose of holding the bones to-gether. Remember that the as-tragulus, the largest of the tar-sal bones has no muscles at-tached to it. These ligamentsalso prevent movement beyondthe normal range. As soon asyou try to force a joint beyondits normal range of motion some-thing has to give. Ligamentsstand first in line.

Ligaments receive their bloodsupply from the lymph. Wheninjured, Nature's reaction is toforce quantities of lymph intothe tissue so that repair may behastened. Examination of asprained ligament under the mi-crosocpe shows separated fibersfloating in lymph. The lymph in-cites the growth of new fiberswhich splice the torn ones, be-come shortened by absorbtionand leave us a thick short liga-ment. Our first responsibility isto get the proper idea as towhat has gone on around thejoint and then to prevent if pos-sible anv marked abnormality inthe healing process.

(Treatment next.)

When you see an old man ami-able, mild, equable, content, andgood humored, be sure that inhis youth he has been just, gen-erous and forebearing. In hisend he does not lament the past,nor dread the future; he is likethe evening of a fine day.

Books may be read as deliber-ately and reservedly as theywere written.

First of all give judgmentagainst your own faults.

D.M.U. Students GiveEntertaining ProgramThe program of the most en-

tertaining assembly of the yearwas recently given by threeyoung ladies from the DesMoines University, Fine Arts de-partment.

Miss King, a very talentedreader, gave several excellentnumbers which immediately se-cured the approval of the stu-dent body.

Miss Carlson, accompanied atthe piano by Miss Rockholtz,broke all precedent and sang sev-eral real "hot" popular numbersthat struck the responsive chordof her audience. Miss Rockholtzwas prevailed upon to exhibither talent en solo, and alsostuck to the popular theme.

The student body sincerely ap-preciate the interest manifestedby the young ladies in appearingin chapel and sincerely hope that_they will "play a return engage-ment" in the very near future.

An enthusiast is a man that iscock sure of a lot of things thathe knows nothing about.

What do we live for if it is notto make the world less difficultfor each other?

Duty is with us always, in-flexible as fate, exacting as ne-cessity, imperative as destiny.

However flowerless the waysOf grim November,

However dull and drear her days,We should remember

One happy time she sets apartFor royal living,

A gift to cheer and bless each heart-It is Thanksgiving!

'.. ' . -Emma C. Dowd.

APPRECIATIONOne of the strange and rough

truths of life is the fact thatmen are willing to accept theservices of their fellows withoutproper appreciation and dueconsideration of that service.

Men of intellectual worth, ofmental courage and vigorousthought give freely of theirtime, efforts and even financesto carry on and their fellows ac-cept it all as a matter of course,assuming, if they be among thebeneficiaries that it is due them.

However, even though there bemany bearers of burden thekindly word of appreciationshould not be withheld. "Theyalso serve who only stand.andwait," said Milton and probablywith a thought for those who goabout doing good and servingwithout thought of self.

Today, we enjoy what HenryJames described as the "com-fortable animation of the side-walks." A friendly and encour-aging word, a smile with a firmgrip of the hand and a slap onthe back have little value un-less brought into action and asa result the world is brighterbecause a heart is lighter.

There is so much of the artifi-cial in human life' that a senseof appreciation when it finds ex-pression is like a rippling can-denza that washes away from thesoul the dust of our every dayexistence.

It is not worldly goods, theattainment of fame, nor thepossession of power that makefor greatness among men. It isthese and a proper appreciationfor the service of men and awillingness to give credit notonly where it is justified butwhen it is due.

The Love Song of aGerm

Come, Bacillus, let us wander,Wander ever hand in hand-Down that Capillary yonder-Down that yonder shady gland.Countless cousins will not miss

you,Happy in their own disease;Tripping through the tender tis-

please.

Myriad microbe relationsHave no claim upon you dear;'Leave them to their occupations,You deserve your own career.Does the wanderlust possess you?I'll indulge it, dearest germ,We shall roam to regions,bless

you,Named by no research's term.

Camping in the mountain Mus-cles-

Bathing in a quiet Vein,Dodging vicious White CorpusclesSummering at Aches-Le-Brain;Gliding in a light gondolaOn Abdominal Canals,Only fancy shall control aPair of perfect poison pals.

Slipping past the Epiglottis-By the Tonsils and the Tongue-Traveling till the days have

caught us,When we are no longer young.When our tastes become domes-

tic,We shall search a quiet home,Snug and safe from AntisepticThere to live and not to roam.

Come Bacillus, my InfectionGrows too potent to suppress.Quick! Here comes your Aunty

Toxin-Fly with me and tell me, "Yes."

Fraternity Notes(Continued from page 2)

On November i6th we held oufHomecoming dance at the chap"ter house in honor of the Alum'ni and Kirksville boys. Theyall went home talking about thedance.

The squirrels are running wildagain in 4 Q. Bro. Rohde is try-ing to tame them and intends toadd them to his menagerie, whichso far consists of a pair of owls,

The "Crows Nest" is now opento the public.

Bro. P. D. Rorick is a meanrider of the range. Hen knowShow to keep his seat. Get hot"P. D."

Only thirty-two more days un`til Christmas vacation begins,Let's go, everybody.

Dr. R. E. Curry will 'informany one that jelly glasses makegood amunition. -

Bro. Loghry fell the other day-stumbled over a gallon oil can,

AXIS CLUB NOTESOn Thursday, Oct. 14th, the

members of the Axis Sororitywere received by Miss GladysCowen at St. Catherines Hall.After various items of businesshad been discussed, Dr. GertrudeCasey-Jones gave an exhibition oftechnique, aided by PresidentGrace DeWalt and Sister GladysCowen, who heroically offered:themselves as victims. Bothhowever appeared at school thefollowing day apparently nonethe worse.

The evening was brought to aclose with some impromptu dane-ing in the recreation hall whereour president brought to lightsome hitherto hidden talent asa pianist. Miss Charlotte Mc-Dougall, gave some valuable hintson the execution of the "Valen-cia."

The reluctance with whichhats and coats were donned wassurely a proof that a very pleas-ant and profitable time had beenspent and we are looking for-ward to many more evenings ofthe same order.

On Thursday, November 4th, atthe Y. W. C. A., Miss Susan Brud-der was initiated into the AxisSorority. After the ceremony, avery merry little party assem-bled at the Shops building forlunch. We extend our heartywelcome to Miss Brudder.

The Axis girls who came fromKirksville to witness the greatfootball game were met by sev-eral members of our chapter andtaken to lunch at Younkers.

We were glad that Dr. NellieDavis of Oskaloosa was able tobe with us for Homecoming. Itwas with great regret that Dr.Lois Irwin-Richardson decided' atthe last moment that she wouldbe unable to come this yearthough we had looked forwardto seeing her.

Log of theAnnual Cruise of the

Good Ship Buick

Friday, Nov. 19th.At four seventeen and a half,

central standard time, five hardyItooters for the Sons of Norwayby-the :names. of Halladay. Max-field, DTabing, Russell and Lyd-don, heaved anchor and headedthe: good ship Buick northwardtoWards'the Land O' Lakes.. Hugesigns fore and aft proclaimedthe fact that they hailed fromthe port of Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy.

The occasion of the voyage wasthe battle between the Badgersand the Gophers for the posses-sion of the "Little Brown Jug.'

M:axfield was the pilot andHalladay the helmsman and they

.:discharged their duties in a re-markably proficient manner.

The first thrill of the journeyncame when an overambitiousoffspring of Henry Ford got kit-

'tenish and tried to sideswipethe Buick. But Lady Lucksmiled upon the voyagers andthey were saved from an un-timely demise by .the width of ablond eyelash. Then she pun-'ished the overambitious one bysending it into a tailspin and anose dive which culminated in itassuming the L. S. I. D. (leftside in ditch) position. The'crew went to the rescue but theoccupant of the ill-fated vesselescaped without so much as aslip of the Atlas. .And of course,when the flivver was righted- she.as-_b.hle ... to. ."Rl kLe RightAlong."

Albert Lea, Minnesota was thenight stop. There the gang didan early to bed and early to riseand were on their way again to-ward the home town of Lena andTillie, the beautiful blondes, atthe unholy hour of seven A. M.

On the arrival the gang wenttheir several ways after agreeingto meet Sunday A. M. at 8thand Hennepin. All the smalltown boys know where they arewhen they get on Hennipin, butDrabing and Russell did manageto get lost before they got there.

About the game there's notmuch to say. It was a heart-

.breaker. No team ever receivedas undeserved a victory as Michi-

'.gan -when they won that gameS'even to six and took the LittleBrown Jug back to Ann Arbor.-But, so goes life-and footballgames. Anyway, sixty thousand:ide-eyed fans in that beautiful/' new stadium basked in sure 'nufMinnesota sunshine and had a

f:thrill a minute during the whole'- :ame..-Continud pe 4)-

Research Worker To BeHere

Dr. Louisa Burns of California,noted for her research work willbe the guest of the local chap-ter of the Osteopathic Women'sNational Association at a dinnergiven in-- her honor at Harris-Emery's, Monday evening, De-cember 6th. All-. Field& Doctorsare urged to be present at thedinner and to hear Dr, Burns'address.

During her stay in Des Moines,Dr. Burns will spend two daysat the college.

Girls Practical Work

On Tuesday evening, Nov.'23rdthe girls of the school assem-bled for one of their periodicalwork meetings. Dr. Virge Halla-day presided and gave a veryinteresting and instructive talkon the history of Osteopathy,which made us realize more for-_ 1_ 1- __.. a n _ ev r _ o..w m u... w

owe to the "Olld Doctor."The last but not the least

part of the proceedings was theserving of refreshments by theAxis girls.

We are indebted to the Deltagirls for providing the speaker.

Turkey Day Appro-priately Observed

Annual Turkey day festivitieswere thoroughly enjoyed by theD.M.S.C.O. student body. Schoolwas-tdecCI 'ared -dismissed -Wednes--day until Monday and thosewithin traveling distance wereenabled to get their feet' underMother's table, once more. Theless fo.rtunate no doubt hadfriends in the city who provid-ed the necessary edibles for aproper observance of the occa-sion.

The following Monday, some ofthe gang appeared in a some-what comatose state resultingfrom over exertion on the partof the digestive tract, but thisuncomfortable symptom passedoff in the course of a few dayswith no casualties.

Several of the students actedas host to classmates from moredistant states at impromptuhouse parties at their homes.Minnesota, Michigan, Missouri,Illinois and more "distant"points in the wilds of Iowa wereinvaded by the hungry mob,

After the brief respite fromtheir arduous duties at the col-lege, everyone is "hitting theball" in preparation for the com-ing Christmas rest.

Stillonian Ground WorkCompleted

Practically all the preliminaryground work for the 1927 Stil-lonian has been completed andwithin the next few weeks ac-tual work on various class photo-graphs, etc., will begin.

The business department, un-der -the -direction of Dean Elsea,business manager, is conductingan active campaign for foreignadvertising with encouraging re-sults. Response from the fieldin manner of subscriptions andprofessional cards is expected tosurpass all previous records.

During Christmas vacation, allstudents are urged to keep theSnap Shot division of the bookin mind and bring back somegood material for this part ofour publication.

Student subscriptions havebeen exceptionally good. Indi-vidual workers in each class, un-der the direction of L. E. Schaef-fer, circulation manager, arehard at work endeavoring tobring their class in as the firstin the 100 per cent class.

Pan Hellenic OfficersChosen

The following students wereelected to guide the ship ofstate of the Pan Hellenic Co.un-cil for the coming term. L. E.Schaeffer, Atlas Club, Chairman;Leroy Skidmore, Iota Tau Sig-ma, Secretary; and John P. Jones,Phi Sigma Gamma, Treasurer.

On November 17th,, the PanHw-inmic meeting was held at theAtlas Club and was addressed byDr. Atkins. The next meetingwill be held at the Iota Tau Sig-ma house and Dr. C. F. Springwill be the speaker of the eve-ning.

Since organization, the Coun-cil has done much to better theinter-fraternity relations in thecollege and, already have out-outlined many interesting and in-structive features for the comingyear.

Pirates End Season With-58-0 Triumph

The Pirate galley lies peace-fully at rest in its harbor afterending the season of combat ina blaze of glory greater perhapsthan any finale they have everexperienced.

Although the lions share ofthe creditmust. be, ...sed _to9 .eleven sturdy Buccaneers, leadby Captain Graham, the youngerPirates closely followed the ex-ample of fight and aggressive-ness set by the veterans.

It was doubtless Coach FrankR. Sutton's idea of allowing hiseleven trusty seniors to starttheir last gametogether that ac-counted for the spirited way inwhich the Purple and Whitetriumphed over Jackson Univer,-sity here by a 58-0 score.

The Old Timers dented theenemy goal line three timeswhile they held sway during thefirst half and .scored one extrapoint. The first two touchdownswere the results of plunges byGene McIntosh after sustainedmarches. The third score wasmade by '"Race" Myers when hesnared a thirty yard heave byPlatt behind the safety man andgalloped the remaining twentyto the final marker. It 'waseasily the most spectacular playof the afternoon.

The "Four Black Pirates,"Sheeets, McIntosh, Russell -andPlatt whose ground .gaining ac-tivities during the first half hadcompletely crushed the Missou-rians, were replaced at the restperiod by the "Ponys," Devine,Plude, Cassis and Shaw.

This-new combination quicklygot to functioning and David N.0. Shaw on the first play, cutback from an inside tackle slantto out sprint the secondary de-fense forty yards for the score.

A fake play gave Plude theball and he sped unmolested.twenty yards to the goal post..for the next six points. This.scrappy back soon afterwards;counted again with a plungethrough guard.

Jack Stafford celebrated hisentry into the fray by takingthe oval on the first play of thefinal quarter and twisted hisway forty yards through theJacksonites. He was seeminglystopped several times by wouldbe tacklers, but managed tosquirm to freedom from enemyarms.

It was Devine's turn to takethe spot light and he speared anattempted lateral pass on thekickoff and raced on to the goalline without missing a stride.

Another Bet PaidAny one passing one of the

busy intersections of the downtown business district, late inthe afternoon of Nov. 20, wouldhave noticed a peculiarly d.essedgentleman wearing a straw hat,colored glasses, and supportinghimself with a cane. Wearing asign, and extending a tin cup tothe passersby for charity.

Upon close observation, it wasnoticed that the above describedpersonage was none other thanStanley Evans, Junior A, payinga football bet. Being a graduateof Ohio State, and, an ardentsupporter of his Alma Mater,-was foolish enough to bet with:Roy Trimble that the 0. S. U.-would come out on the long end-of the score against Michigan._Agreeing that the loser stand on.said corner, and beg for one

9hour. Wearing an appropriatesign explaining his cause.

In spite of the cold weather,it is understood that forty-twocents in money was collected.The main actor in the scene stillremains loyal to the home stateschool, and has already posted awager that Ohio State will de-feat Michigan, Oct. 29, 1927,when they journey to the BayState, to dedicate the new sta-dium.

Pirates Down theBookkeepers

The Buccaneers journeyed toCenterville and followed theirscoring activities of the Kirks-ville contest with an equally im-pressive exhibition against theIowa Business College whom theysmothered under a 19-0 count.

Although the Osteopathicchamps were minus their scrappy

-.. ader, Ab Graham, they dis-piteed a true scoring power andat the same time held the oppo-sition to three first downs. Thescore would likely have beenconsiderably greater had notCoach Sutton sent frequent sub-stitutions into the struggle in aneffort to get a line on nextyears' prospects.

The Pirates wasted no timeand a line plunging attack fromthe initial kickoff lead to theenemy 5-yard line from whencethe battering Shaw slanted overParks to the goal. The at-tempted place kick failed.

The Purple and White line dis-played their aggresive spirit inthe second quarter and crashedthrough to block a punt whichwas recovered on.the Centervilleeleven's 5-yard marker. HereSam Lillard, one of the besttackles in the state, opened upa hole for Plude and the littleback registered. Myers againmissed the place kick.

Stafford, who has been one ofCoach Sutton's most dependableopen field ponys, ended a longdrive in the final minutes of thegame to carry the ball over frorthe 1-yard line. Myers made theextra point.

Acting Captain, Sam LillardNelson, Gene McIntosh, Stafforcand "Rant" Russell were thEshinning lights for the DecMoines eleven.

The Fable of the Plumber WhoQuit to Become- a "Doctor"The following "Fable" was

sent in by one of our Field menwith the following comment at-tached:-. "These said plumberscreate business for us once in awhile by putting pationts out offix to such.an extent that theymust come to the Osteopath toget straighened up. More powerto 'em-while .it lasts, whichwon't be long."

.Back in the days of the redtablecloth, oil lamps and stuffedbirds a- fat young man with ahard face was wiping joints forhis father, a plumber.

·Each night, wiping the honest/weat from his receding brow,he would stack away the tools,eat a quadrangular -meal and tosshimself onto the Ostermoor for

a well deserved rest.When his father passed on to

the Region of the Boilers, thepon inherited the Business. Tothe Tricks of the Trade that hehad inherited from the Old Manby Precept and Example, he add-ed others that would have excitedthe Envy of Jesse James and hisBrother. He always, of course,forgot the Important Tool andhad to hie himself back to theShop to get it; but he never for-got to Add to the Bill the Timerequired in the trip Both Ways.He knew how to Thread a Pipefo that the Burr was left insideto Accumulate Slag the firstyear and Guarantee him another'Call from the Excited Housewifewho could not wash her Dishesbecause the Water would not-gun.

He accumulated Plenty of theFilthy Lucre-and was Satisfied-with Life.

But One Fine Day he received_a Glowing Circular from TheFountain Head of Chirosmashem,claiming that Plumbers wereFlocking to the New ProfessionIn Droves, and were Cleaning Up,-in more ways than One.

He read that Strong Hands,And an Ability to Look Hard andGet the Gold were Inborn inPlumbers, and that Only OnePlumber had Failed to make aSuccess of It, and he Died.

So, again wiping the HonestSweat from His Receding Brow,he put on a White Collar andspent a week in Davenport, learn-the New Science of Chirosmash-em.

A few Golden Oak TreatmentTables and a Wicked LookingChart furnished by the FountainHead, started him off in Busi-ness. He found that Barnum hadSeverely Underestimated thepumbers of the Sucker Family,


[owa Osteopath ReportsCase of Tuleraemia

The following case of Tuler-aemia, a comparatively recentdiscovery, is reported by Dr. G.C. Trimble of Montezuma. Iowa.It was impossible to obtain thehistorical data relative to thecondition in time for this issue,but will appear in the December15th Log Book. Doctors inter-ested are urged to save this casereport for comparison with thearticle which will be publishedas announced.

On the morning of July 31st,1926, patient was bitten by a sowon the left great toe and thehight middle finger. Iodine wasapplied in a very few minutes,then patient visited Dr. Trimbleof Montezuma, Iowa, within afew hours. The doctor dressedthe injury with sterile dressingsand antiseptics, though they wereslight, scarcely deep enough toproduce bleeding.

The Spleen a Germ-Killer

Modern medical science is atlast unraveling that physiologi-cal mystery of the ages, the pur-pose of the spleen in the humansystem. It has been known sinceclassical times, says ScienceService's Daily Science News Bul-letin (Washington), that thespleen could be removed withoutany apparent ill-effects on thepatient. Various conjectures asto its purpose in the human ana-tomy, all more or less erroneous,have come down to us. By thelast half of the nineteenth cen-tury it was definitely establishedthat it had something to do withthe purification of the blood aswell as the formation of some ofthe blood cells, and though itwas not necessary for life, thesefunctions after removal weretaken over by the bone marrowand other organs. To quote:

"In a resume of the more re-cent work done on this myste-rious organ, by Dr. E. B. Krum-bhaar of Philadelphia, we findthat the spleen is an importantsource of anti-bodies, those littleunderstood elements in the bloodthat help kill off bacteria. Lab-oratory experiments seem toshow that the spleen plays a con-siderable part in resistance tosuch infections as tuberculosisand also to the gowth of tumors.It has been found that tumorgrafts make much less growth inthe spleen than in any other or-gan, and that its removal defi-nitely cuts down the resistanceto tumor inoculation. Some ex-perimenters believe that it con-tains a substance actually de-structive to tumor cells, but thishas not yet been conclusivelyproved. Two doctors of NewYork City, Dr. S. Shapiro and Dr.F. H. Frankel, have tried to as-certain the effects of feeding ex-tracts of spleen and bone mar-row upon the formation of redcorpuscles. Their patients showedan increase in the number of redcells while being fed the extract,but the count went down as soonas the dose was stopt. The defi-nite establishment of the factthat such extracts contain a sub-stance which will increase theproduction of red corpuscleswould be of inestimable value inthe treatment of many diseases,particularly anemia."-LiteraryDigest.

Buccaneers CloseSuccessful Season

The cleaners have taken themud stains out of the orangefootball jerseys of Still Collegeand they now rest peacefullyamong the moth balls. A suc-cessful season on the gridironhas been completed.

Coach Frank Sutton's warriorsreturned victorious from four oftheir nine contests in one of thehardest schedules ever attemptedby an Osteopathic eleven.

Parsons and the Haskell In-dians came first and they over-came the Pirates by 13-0 and 55-0 scores respectively. As usualthe practice sessions before thefirst contest were so few that itwas impossible to present ourfull strength.

The local mentor was faced inthe beginning with developinga backfield combination princi-pally from the new material.This he did with telling resultsin all games after the first two.The veteran line rounded intoshape easily and played consis-tantly throughout the' season.

A complete reversal of formwas shown in the Central gameand by springing a crashing of-fense they nosed out the Dutch-men 14-13. Loghry was the heroof thisfray when he snagged anenemy pass and sprinted 5'0 yardsfor the winning score.

Simpson was next met for thefirst time in the history of thelocal school and a decided moralvictory was chalked up to thecredit of the fighting Buccaneersalthough the score was 3-0 in fa-vor of the Methodists. Thiscontest was especially note-worthy because the Osteopathshad only three days rest follow-ing the game at Pella.

Trinity had little difficulty introuncing our boys under a 20-0score in a onesided battle char-acterized by the sluggish workof the locals due wholly to thefact that they were staging theirthird game in eight days.

After two weeks rest the peakof form was reached by the Sut-tonites and they met their an-cient rivals, the Kirksville Rams,whom they had never in the his-tory of the two institutions de-feated. An inspired Pirateeleven completely outplayed theMissourians and the final scorewas 20-0 in favor of the Purpleand White. Captain Ab Graham,sturdy veteran of many Stillon-ian battles, led his linemen inone of the greatest defensive ex-hibitions ever witnessed on any_gridiron.

The offensive work continued(Continued on page 3)

An Annual Event o-

Frosh Hoop Artists InConference

The Frosh hoop squad foundthe going too tough in their firstcontest of the season and fellbefore the rangy University ofCommerce hoopsters 20-8. Itwas the young Pirates first con-test in the Hawkeye conferencein which they will competetwelve times.

The pass work of the yearlingswas fairly good considering thefact that it was the first timethey had functioned together butthey could not find the hoop withany regularity whatever. Theytook exactly 46 heaves basket-ward and connected for fourcounters.

With the short end of a 7-3score facing them at half timethey staged a temporary spurtat the beginning of the thirdquarter but ineffective teamwork soon lost them the advan-tages gained.

.O'Connor, Lang and Mongerput up a scrappy exhibition onthe defense while Hamilton, Cas-sis and Devine showed well.

were quite surprised recently tonote in a Kville daily wheezethat the Teachers college in thatcity had cut all athletic relat-tions with the osteopathic school.The article made several chargesagainst the Rams, of rough anddirty playing, etc., and alsocharged that the studentbodywere not "all that they shouldbe."

Such a state of affairs israther difficult for the D.M.S.C.0. gang to apprehend, for in ourown battle this last season, theRams played first class footballand conducted themselves as"good sportmen" throughouttheir entire stay in the city. Al-so, the students who accompaniedthe team to our homecomingcelebration, conducted them-selves in a manner above criti-cism.

The Des Moines school is con-fident that the difficulty will beadjusted in the near future.

Louisa Burns at CollegeTwo Days

Louisa Burns, one of the fore-most figures in the OsteopathicResearch field was at the collegeDecember 6th and 7th.

The first day of her visit, theDoctor lectured to the- fourclasses, individually, upon: theorganization of the Research in-stitute in California and oild ofthe work that was being donethere. In the evening she wasthe guest of honor at a banquetgiven by the local chapter of theO. W. N. A., at Harris-Emery'stea room. A number of the fielddoctors from the surroundingtowns were in the city for theevent. Following the dinner, Dr.Burns was introduced by Dr.Caldwell, president of the 0. W.N. A. She gave a highly inter-esting and instructive lecture onOsteopathic research and theBony Lesion.

The following day, the Doctorwas again at the college and lec-tured to the classes on the BonyLesion.. The work was greatlyaugmented by numerous X-rayphotographs and by specially pre-pared spines.

Santa Claus PlanningSpecial Trip Here

Under the management of thePan Hellenic Council, SantaClaus will make a pre-season per-sonal appearance at D.M.S.C.O.on Friday, December 17th.

This will be the first time inhistory that this famous celebrityhas been induced to appear be-fore the student body and an"opening night crowd" is ex-pected to crash the gates,. Anappropriate stage setting will beprovided replete with Christmastree and all the fixings.

Everyone will get a present.The class rolls have been drawnand each student is to buy anappropriate gift for the individ-ual whose name he drew. Allgifts shall be first class "Wool-worth" quality, and the donorsname is to be omitted.

The committee has been ap-proached by several who are es-pecially desirous of securing thenames of "certain parties"which would tend to indicate thatthere will be much fun indulgedin at the coming "Yuletide Fes-tival."

Osteopathic Requisites

The students in one of theIowa high schools were instruct-ed to write to three successfulindividuals in the professions ortrades that they intended to fol-low upon graduation, askingthem for their idea of the per-sonal requirements necessary tosuccess in that line of endeavor.

The following paragraphs areexcerpts from a letter writtenby C. W. Johnson to an Iowayouth who is headed towards the

h.M.S.C.O. mid-year class:In my judgment, after 27 years

of watching men and women inmy profession both in the stud-ent-professor relation and thefraternal relationship of co-workers in a common cause, youare quite correct in assumingthat certain characteristics arerequisite for success in Osteo-pathy.

The:. qualifications are pretty:definately set down by law.Every student entering an osteo-pathic school must be a graduatefrom an accredited high school.Experience is fast showing usthat from two to four years ingeneral collegiate work beforethe professional work is enteredupon is of very great value tothe student.

The characteristics of makeup:which give the advantage forSuccess to an osteopath may be}isted as they come to mind. Ido not mean to indicate any pre-Icedence of value by priority ofposition.

(1) An osteopath must havestrength, physical fitness and sta-bility of health upon which hecan depend.

(2) His interest must be hu-manitarian; he must be inter-ested in people, well or sick, richor poor; it is not their standingwhich counts, but their conditionand what can be done for it.

(3) He will need to find him-self, without thought or forcing,inately interested in anything re-lated to the causation and eradi-cation of disease and-the buildingfor and maintenance of health.

(4) A scientifically inquiringframe of mind is another vitalfactor in success. This is actu-ally sheer curiosity which getsitself easily directed into ques-tioning the whys and whereforesof conditions and results. A trueOsteopathic physician nevermakes a movement in treatmentunless he knows just why he isusing that technique and whatnay be expected from it. A

psychologic curiosity is impor-tant too. Though this may to a4egree, come into the humani-

Branching Into Athletics

Chapter VIn taking care of ankles in

athletic work we have two kindsof treatment to consider. First,protective and second, curative.In enlarging on the first let mecall your attention to the factthat while you have perhaps notnoted it, there is as much varia-tion in ankles of the male of thespecies as there is in the fe-male. Some boys or young menhave ankles built to withstandthe extra strain put upon themin vigorous contests. Otherscan take part in one type ofathletics and no other, the rea-son being in their physicalmakeup. Babe Ruth recentlyvisited Des Moines and went outto Drake and took a light work-out with the Drake footballsquad. Ossie Solem, the coach,said afterward that Babe as abackfield man was a fine batter.Babe's ankles couldn't stand thestrain. There are many BabeRuths playing football whenthey should not be. Now whenwe look over the gang that" hasresponded to the call for foot-ball men we look them., over.With half an eye you can pickout the ones that will sufferfrom ankle sprains through thewhole season. These men maybe necessary on the team and ifso we have to meet the condi--tion with an outside aid of somesort. Don't pass over this ankleinspection lightly. Your pre-game work will save you a lotof post-game-worry. Two yearsof carefully kept statistics provethat fifteen percent of footballinjuries are to the ankle andfoot and that they keep theplayer either out of the gameentirely or prevent him from do-ing his best at the time when itis needed. He is useless until theankle has recovered.

The greatest aid in prevent-ing ankle injuries is adhesive.Just as has been mentioned be-fore, the tissue that is mostoften torn is ligamentous. IfNature has not provided the ath-lete with strong ligaments andtendons around the ankle wewill have to provide a substitute.The more you spend for adhesivethe less you spend for treat-ment, but like everything elseit must be used properly or ithad better be left off,. Coachesoften disagree on the type oftaping for the ankle but all agreeon the point that tape appliedproperly prevents injuries.

If you study the movement inthe ankle region you will findthat flexion and extension arepresent at the joint between thetibia and the talus or astraglus.Side bending and rotation arenot present here but at the jointanterior to the talus. When thefoot is "turned" it is usually ininversion and the ligaments thatsuffer are the ones extendingfrom the fibula to the talus andcalcaneus. There are threesmall ligaments here that whilestrong enough under ordinarycircumstances are not sufficientlyheavy to stand the violence ofsudden stops and twists thatcome in football. We must pro-

tect the outer part of the anklejoint more on this account. An-other thing to think of is thatthere is only one muscle thatcrosses the ankle externally thatadds strength to this side of theankle. It is the peroneuslongus. The joints between thetalus, calcaneus, navicular andcuboid are secured by strong lig-aments that need very little aidand this small amount of protec-tion they do need is taken careof in the proper application oftape primarily intended tostrengthen the ankle joint. Writeto Johnson and Johnson at NewBrunswick, N. J., and ask for acopy of "Adhesive plaster ban-daging in Athletics," and turn topage thirteen. This type of ban-dage is used a great deal butwith a modification that makesit better. Do not let the ends ofthe tape overlap along the dor-sum of the ankle. Leave an openspace to prevent the compressionof the blood vessels along thedorsum. This is an excellentbandage to use in the care of aninjured ankle. There is anotherbanduag illustrated on page fif-teien that is best in the caseswhere the lateral ligaments areweak. :

We do not like the use of thethird strap put on in the figureeight style. This binds the endsdown, but prevents free circula-tion. If used it should be puton with the idea of holding num-ber one in place and not for thepurpose of binding the ankle.The double bandage as shown onpage sixteen is used in the thinligament and muscle cases,. It isstronger by one more band.Gauze may be used under thesebandages but they do not havethe intended effect if they canslip around. A protecting ban-dage must be as close to the boneas possible.

SANTA CLAUS MAKESUS PRE-SEASON VISIT

As a fitting send-off for theirChristmas vacation, Santa Clausmade a special pre-season visitt0 D.M_,S,C0, on Friday morningthe 17th.

The morning's festivities start-ed off with violin solos by Har-old Stifling of the senior Aclass. Earl Shaw with his melo-dious saxophone -tickled the tym-panic membranes of the audiencewhile the last minute prepara-tions were being made for thetriumphal entry of Mr. S. Claus.Tooter was accompanied on themusic box by "Lute" Drabing.Walt Hagman, also a Senior A,added to the pleasures of themorning by singing several popu-lar numbers to his own accom-paniment on a small instrumentwhich looked as though it mightbe a cross between a HungarianGazook (very rare) and a bassviol. However the numbers were"hot stuff" and thoroughly en-joyed by the vast and apprecia-tive audience.

At this point the merry gingleof the sleigh bells of that fa-mous old charatcer who persistsin riding in an antiquated sleigh,

_3ere-- hard tinkling through thehalls of learning. The doubledoors to the assembly room burstopen and there he was! Redsuit, white trimming, long beardand everything! Followed by ahorde of "Brownies" Santa madehis way to the platform where abeautifully decorated tree stoo lin stately splendor. Immediatelyentering upon his task of pass-ing out the dirt, Santa got outthe Faculty gifts first and E.Dean Elsea received the first re-membrance of the morning inthe form of a beautiful and use-ful little water gun. Dr. J. P.Schwartz, of surgical fame, alsoDean of the college, was pre-sented with an excellent four-teen inch scapel of which he wxasquite proud and promised to useon the morrow provided his wifedid not take it to cut the morn-ing bread. Dr. C. W. Johnson, ourpresident, received an exquisite-ly wrapped and padded brick.Several of you old grads will ap-preciate the appropriateness ofthis token of our esteem.

'No one was forgotten. Eachstudent was responsible for a fel-low student's gift and the re-membrances ran the gamut fromback scratchers to nursing bot-tles for the freshmen (and someupper classmen). The entiremorning's program was a successand everyone thoroughly enjoyed the event. Arrangementswere made by the Pan HellenicCouncil and they merit a voteof thanks for their efforts.

Special clinic sessions are being held during the Christmasvacation on Monday and Thurs-day afternoons.

The number of new patientsthat are constantly registeringmade this action imperative andthe students that are foregoingthe pleasures of a visit home arereaping the benefits of this op-portunity for additional clinicalwork.

Regular time credit is beinggiven for the work and will beapplied upon the clinic atten-dance.

This is the first time that thisplan has been in effect duringthe holidays and the number ofstudents that are attending themeetings more than warrant it'sinauguration.

Seniors Preparing For/ Commencement

With only a scant three week:intervening between their re-turn from vacation and the mid-year graduation exercises, th-Senior A class are burning themidnight oil in preparation foithe coming event.

Of the seventeen memEers ofthe January class, a majorityhave remained in the city overthe holidays and have been busymaking the arrangements forthe commencement program andgetting the balance of theirclinical work. Practically allhave their required "500' in ancare hard at work studying forcoming state boards.

None of the details of the pro-gram have been announced asyet, but the committee in chargesay that it will be the best onrecord. Several members of theclass have filed applications forinternship, but none have re-ceived definite notification ofappointment to date.

The commencement exercise-will be held January 20th.

Around the CollegeThe customary Christmas exo-

dus leaves the old college ap-pearing rather deserted andquiet after tbh hub-bub of thepast four months. It seems cddnot to hear the old bell clangout its release from a dry lec-ture and the subsequent rushand banging as the gang cometearing down for their morning

-dashi across the street for .co'-fee or downstairs for a smoke.

However, those that remainwill be able to live through itand the office force no doubt areenjoying this brief lull in theexcitement of the year's work.

The first two or three days ofvacation there was a goodly num-ber of students around, but thecloser it came to Christmas thestronger became those seductivethoughts of how good Mother'scooking was until the number of"stay-heres" has dwindled toless than half it's original mag-nitude.

O. B., clinic and treating arethe features which are helpingthe students while away thehours. Several went home forChristmas day and have returnedresplendant in new scarfs, ties,hose, etc., which people alwaysgive other unsuspecting peopleat this time of year.

Several new watches, with va-rying types of second hands (ab-solutely necessary for pulsecounting) have put in their ap-pearance and so far predominatethe field of presents. As abovestated, every once in awhile,there will be a flash of blindinglight and blazing color, and therebefore you will appear one ofthe boys with his new Christmastie undimmed. Startling reportsof meals ingested make us won-der if the things we have beentaught regarding the physiologyof digestion and capacity of thehuman are not at fault. Howeverwe are rapidly returning to nor-mal and by the time the gangis back on the job, will be rarin'to go.

Local Osteopaths to Have New $400,000.00 Hospital

SKETCH OF PROPOSED NEW DES MOINES GENERAL HOSPITAL

Student Body SubscribesOver $1,200.00

A campaign has been launchedwhich will ultimately result inthe erection of a new DesMoines General Hospital, valuedat $400,000.

The new osteopathic institu-tion is to be of the most moderntype and the specifications thathave already been made by oneof the foremost Chicago hospitalarchitects, calls for a mainbuilding of the Spanish type.The campaign is statewide andthe districts already completeddemonstrate that the professionand public are firmly behind Dr.J. P. Schwartz,. president andsurgeon-in-chief of the hospitaland his board.

Following an address in assem-bly recently, the student bodypledged over twelve hundred dol-lars in less than fifteen minutes.The institution is receiving thesame type of support from thefield.

The inadequacy of the presentstructure makes the present.campaign imperative. For the-past several months, the institu-tion has been filled to the limit,of its capacity and in a numbeiof instances patients have beerrefused admittance because oflack of room.

Mleasuring Up To theAverage

On the train from Chicago theother day, rode one of those pom-pous persons who always lovesTo impress people.

As we approached our destina-tion, the porter started to brushthis man down and he openedconversation at once.

"My man," said he, "do youmake pretty good tips on thistrain?"

"Yessuh, yes indeed!" repliedthe wielder of the whisk broom."I sure does!"

"Well, that's fine," continuedthe interlocutor. "Now on thewhole what would you say youraverage was from each person?"

"Boss," replied Mr. Bones, "Ireckon it just about averages upa dollar per each."

"I'm glad to hear that," con-tinued the pompous party.·̂ 4Here's my dollar and don't for-get to put off my three bags!"

"No suh, no indeed!" repliedthe porter. "An' I want to thankyou very kindly for the dollar,puh, 'cause you're the fust manwhat's come up to the averagethis trip!"

Now how do we know as wetravel through life, whether weare batting up to the average orpot? We can't really figure itout by comparing our resultswith those of other people. Itisn't fair to them and it isn't-air to us.

The only criterion we can haveIs to sit down at the year's endand try to take an accounting ofourselves, physically, financiallyand spiritually, making somecomparisons, if we can, with theyears that have gone before.

Are we working as hard as weused to work? Are we gettingbigger and better results? Arewe holding our friends and mak-ing more? Or do we feel in oursecret soul that we are fallingjust a little bit behind in oneway or another?

That's a mighty hard thing todo because the human memoryis such a fallacious factor whenyou try to focus it upon yourown record.

Maybe after all it is a mis-take to look back and worryabout the things that are past.

Far better, I believe, to sitdown and determine what oughtto be accomplished during theyear that has just begun. Sup-pose we concentrated every effortupon achieving one of them permonth.

Couldn't we then profitablycharge all the worries and dis-appointments of the past year to

profit and loss and forget aboutthem?

All we need to go ahead on iscourage and faith and determina-tion. We have had the expe-rience and paid for it.

Will we capitalize that factduring 1926?

Let the averages go, if wehave the will and the spirit towork the best we know how fromday to day. The future can beshaped to suit us.

The past-that book is closed.Why open it?

LIFE'S AIMEldon L. Carlson

It has been said that the ulti-mate aim of humanity in all agesof civilization has been for thesearch of happiness. If such weretrue, why has there been such adiversified conception of theword? It lies in the differenceof men's ideas of happiness. Somemens happiness is to secure fame.others wealth, to others, knowl-edge, and to others variousthings. It is the ideal that isthe compelling force of lifewhich unfolds the charcter ofthe individual.

The noble ideals which menhave cherished, have masteredthem and we have received ourShakespeares. our Newtons, andour Handels. Ideals of men havepushed them into unexpectedregions, have harnessed theforces of nature, have bridgedthe streams, tunneled the mount-ains. Dr. A. T. Still saw butdimly at first, "as through aglass, darkly," but his visionsproved to be realities, and thenhe saw the truth as, "face toface."

An ideal must be high. As awriter has said. "Hitch your cartto a star." It must ever be in ad-vance of our upward strugglingclimb, and even though we maynever attain it, our betteredlives have been worth the effort.I am reminded of the incidentof an artist. He had cherishedthe ideal of some day beingcompetent enough to paint aparticular picture. One day. inlater life, as he gazed upon hisfinished masterpiece, with an ex-pression of content. he realizedthat his ideal had been attained,his goal of life had been reached;his art held nothing new to re-vive his interest. No ideal hasever been so high as that pos-sessed by the Jesus of Nazareth,but it was an ideal that could becomprehended then and can becomprehended today, if we willbut discover, or rediscover Him.

Man can be happy in his ac-tivities of life but they can onlybe utilized by arranging them ac-cording to a principle or plan.As an architect plans an edificeand from the plans, each part inits proper shape and order bringsabout the completion of thestructure in all symmetry andbeauty, so likewise we mustbuild; our ideal must be followedand all our activities should giveform and shape to our life workin order that the completion ofthe structure will be in sym-metry and according to the ideal.

Happiness can be found in theministry of rendering service to

mankind. There is no better lawthan the Golden Rule. Thatwhich adds brightness and cheerin the smallest way to the worldis worth while. One encouragingword to a disheartened neighborwhich gives joy, comfort, andstrength, does something worth-while. We never know howeversmall a deed of kindness may be,its richest harvest it may reap.As a brother of mine has said:"I have sometimes felt that ameasure of the real value andsuccess of many men and women,is to be found in the touch oftheir lives upon those souls thatare destined to something great.Years ago in Springfield, Mass.,a mechanic stepped up to adrunken man. tapped him on theshoulder and spoke a few kindwords. The name of that obscuremechanic will never be known;but the drunkard became one ofthe greatest orators of the dayand a contributing power towardthe making of a saloonless na-tion. His name was John B.Gough, and his mighty influencewas kindled by the touch of thehand and the kind words of thatobscure mechanic. Theo. Cuyler,in relating the incident, said,'When I heard the thunders ofapplause that greeted Gough'soratory, I said, 'That is but theecho of the tapping of that me-chanic's friendly hand upon thedrunkards's shoulder.' Whowould not say that the value ofthat mechanics life was in nosmall measure to be judged byjust that touch of his hand andhis kind word?' "

About a century ago a scient-ist was startling the world withhis discoveries. One inventionafter another came out of hislaboratory. One day he receiveda letter from an unknown, self-educated boy, the son of a black-smith. The boy confided to thelearned scientist his ambition tobecome an inventor. And he re-ceived a reply. It was immedi-ately kind and favorable. Theboy was given an opportunity tomeet the learned man, and laterbecame an assistant in his labor-atory. The scientist was SirHumphrey Davy, to whom theworld owes a debt for the miners'safety lamp and a long list ofdiscoveries in Physics and Chem-istry. But an even larger debtis due him for the touch of hislife on the unknown son of ablacksmith. whose later workoutshone his own. Sir HumphreyDavy's greatest discovery wasthat boy, Michael Faraday. Andthis because he made glad ayoung heart, doing him good bykindling faith in him in his pur-pose of life.

If life is worth living, it isworth living honorably, nobly.victoriously, ever endeavoringto do the right, even if but inthe little things, for-

"He who does the bestHis circumstances allowss.

Does well. acts nobly-angelsCould do no more."

Our happiness depends uponour being in harmony with theDivine. As Orison Sweet Mardenhas penned: "In our union withthe Omnipotent God, we can dowhat we believe we can. We canmake our life something better,


POOR OPINION OF LIFEThe doctor had just been vis-

iting an Irish patient, and asthe man's wife was showing himout he said to her. "Your hus-band's not so well today, Mrs.Maloney. Is he sticking to thesimple diet I prescribed?"

"He is not, sorr," came the re-ply. "He says he'll not be afterstarvin' himself to death justfor the sake of livin' a few yearslonger."-Epworth Herald.

Jack, wake up! I can just feelthere's a mouse in the room."

Husband (drowsily): "Well,just feel there's a cat, too, andgo to sleep."-Boston Transcript.

PIRATE BASKET TOSSERSOpen SeasonThe Pirate basket ball squad

has been slowly rounding intoshape and gives promise of de-veloping into a smooth workingcombination. Early games pointto the quintet as being a home-floor five, as they have wo.n boththeir contests on local surfaces.

In the initial game with Grand-view College the whole teamplayed excellent ball and turnedin a rather easy 50-28 victory.Captain Friend and Davis hadlittle difficulty in locating thehoop, while the dependable"Race" Myers kept the opposi-tion from any close-in shots.

The Purple and White five metCentral College there in the nextcontest, and after being in thelead practically the whole sec-ond half, were nosed out in thefinal minutes of .play by a 32-22score. It was a hard game tolose, as the team put up a hardfight throughout. Harold Davis,flashy forward, played a Whirl-wind game, as did Springer, whohas since found it necessary togive up basket ball because ofhis heavy scholastic schedule.

Just before the Christmas holi-days the team journeyed to In-dianola, where they again lost inthe final minutes of play, thistime to the speedy Simpson Col-lege dribblers, 36-24. Mike Han-non, veteran center, hit his stridein this game and rang up bas-kets in old-time form. CaptainFriend and Davis also did well.

At the opening of the Drakefield house the Pirates playedtheir best game of the year, sofar, when they completely smoth-ered the Buena Vista five undera 49 to 22 score. The sensation-al dribbling attack of Davis andDowns, who was playing his firstcontest for the Osteopaths, com-pletely baffled the visitors. Thecombination of Davis and Friendworked the ball under the hoopfor easy set-ups, while Downsnot only made his share of thecounters but also played a ster-ling game at guard. Coach Sut-ton sent in almost a whole newteam in the final quarter andwas pleased with the showingmade by his second stringers.

The trip to Parsons was dis-astrous to the Buccaneers andthey fell before the Devinemento the tune of 36-16. NeitherDowns, or Davis could registerwith any regularity and contin-ual fumbles lost valuable oppor-tunities at the hoop. The Pirateswere in anything but top formand were probably a little too

IOTA TAU SIGMAEverybody seemed to survive

the holidays in fine style andcame back in good health, exceptpledge Smith. However, he isnow batting 11000 and is his ownsweet self again.

"Strangler" Nowlin or "Zbysco"Gephart will give "wrastling"lessons to any one wishing them,free of charge. They are bothpast masters in the art.

Can anyone diagnose thesesymptoms:

1. Unmerciful headaches.2 Inability to rise before 2

P. M.3. Severe bachaches.4 "Weak" end trips to Sigour-

ney.5. Sunday school and religion.These are the symptoms of

"Runt" Russell's strange malady.Brother Nowlin pulled an "01-

son" and disappeared for fourdays. All we can say is: Peoplewho live in glass houses shouldn't.

Pledge Nowlin came back fromhis vacation very homesick andpining for the girl left behindhim. We could hand him anawful jolt, but he is slowly re-covering.

It is rumored that Brother P.D. Rorick lost a considerable sumof money in the recent bank fail-ure. He is not expected to re-cover.

Brother Shaw is the new de-tective in the house,. We do notthink so much of his sleuthing,however. He just has a good ear

Brother Platt has a novel idea.If osteopathy fails to cure heintends to do a little clog danceor do his famous imitation forthe benefit of his patients.

Congratulations, Brother Rhode-how about some cigars?

With this we'll make our exitand let the chips fall where theymay.

PHI SIGMA GAMMANow that the new year has

drifted in on a tide of question-able "origin," and the old year

and several of the citizens havepassed out, it is time to flip apage and scratch a few resolu-tions on its unblotted escutch-eon. The boys have made somenoble "resolves," and this glori-ous year bids fair to be the mostprofitable one in the annals ofthe organization. No one couldpossibly in a brief paper do thesubject of "New Years' Resolu-tions" full justice. It is a mat-ter of great importance to ourlost and undone race,. It lies nextto every human heart and hasmuch to do with our ultimatesuccess or failure. But we willhere set down a few of the sacri-fices our honorable members aremaking.RESOLVED:

That I will not get up at fiveo'clock and distsrb the rest ofthe boys by studying aloud-Ger-ald Beebe.

That I will never neglect mymustache and let noxious weedschoke it out.-"Stinky" Davis.

That I will smoke a pipe inpreference to any other form oftobacco and will play "Whisper-ing" on the piano every day.-Len Jacobs.

That I will have a date occa-sionally and will not hate wom-en as I have hereofore.-Brigham"Red" Stewart,.

That I will throw a newspaperthrough every front window onmy route in order that I may geton more intimate terms with mycustomers.-Walt Heinlen.

That I will be true to my girlat home if I break every girl'sheart in Des Moines-for a while.

Brother Ghost missed a meet-ing. It was unusually short.



Two little boys were slammingeach other.

"How is your son getting alongat college?"

"He must be doing pretty wellin languages. I have just paidfor three courses-$10 for Latin,$10 for Greek and $100 forScotch."

Editor: "Rejected. We don'twant anything that will interferewith our circulation.

Doctor: "Put out your tongue-more than that-all of it."

Child: "But, doctor, I can't.It's fastened at the other end."

An officer was showing an oldlady over the battleship.

"This," said he, pointing to aninscribed plate on the deck, "iswhere our gallant captain fell."

"No wonder," replied the oldlady, "I nearly slipped on it my-self."

She-I was just introduced toyour wife.

He-What did she say?She-Nothing.He-Then you're mistaken.

THE LOG BOOK 3


DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE-OF OSTEOPATHY

-President ............... C. W. Johnson

Editor ...................... Don Baylor


Boost, Don't KnockDon't go through life tearing

down. Don't go around with a'hammer knocking people, condi-tions, things, everything in sight

.- instead of knocking, learn topraise. Get a reputation of being,a booster, a lifter, a helper, anencourager. Just think what adifference it will make to others,and, above all, to yourself, to gothrough the world as a booster,instead of a knocker! If you are*a booster people will like you,will be glad to see you, will al-ways have a good word for you.But no one has any use for theknocker, the chap who is alwayshitting somebody, passing alongunfortunate gossip, making in-sinuating remarks about others,'being jealous of others' success,who is always grumbling abouthard -luck and unfortunate con-ditions. He casts a shadow no-matter where he goes. The boost-er makes the sun shine a littlebrighter. The knocker draws acloud over it.

Whatever you try to do in life,try with all your heart to dowell; whatever you devote your-self to, devote yourself com-pletely-; in even the ;smallest, as-well as i-n great undertakings, be'thoroughly in earnest.

Never believe it possible thatany natural or improved abilitywill gain in the end, unless asso-ciated with the qualities ofsteady, plain, hard work.

Sometimes talent and fortun-ate opportunity form the twosides of the ladder on which menmount, but the rungs of the lad-der must be made of stuff tostand the wear and tear, and forthis there is no substitute forthorough going, ardent, and sin-cere earnestness.

Never put your hand to any-thing into which you can notthrow yourself, body, soul andmind, and having chosen yourwork to do, never affect depreci-ation of it.

The World Does MoveA well-known New York physi-

cian writes us in this fashion:"'Tempora mutantur, nos et mu-tamur in illis.'

"When I started in practice 35years ago, homeopathic and ec-lectic physicians were not re-garded as 'to the manner born',some allopathic physicians didnot care to consult with them.Now, very few know who is allo-pathic, who is homeopathic oreclectic.

"Today I referred a case to anosteopathic physician, because I

know he can give the type oftreatment necessary for the bet-terment of that case.

"A few years ago regular, old-school physicians derided osteop-athy. Today many thinking phy-sicians regard the competent os-teopath as a man well qualifiedto carry out certain definite linesof treatment. I predict that ina few years, osteopathic physi-cians, who are now taking thesame State Board examinationsin many states with allopathic,homeopathic and eclectic physi-cians, will be accepted by ourmedical societites, and the linesof demarcation will gradually,but entirely, fade away. Verily,the world do move.'"-MedicalPocket Quarterly.

The Optimist's CreedPromise yourself to be so

strong that nothing can disturbyour peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness andprosperity to every person youmeet; to make all your friendsfeel that there is something inthem. To look at the sunny sideof everything and make your op-timism come true. To thinkonly of the best, to work onlyfor the best, and to expect onlythe best. To be just as enthus-iastic about the success of oth-ers as you are about your own.To forget the mistakes of thepast and press on to the greaterachievements of the future. Towear a cheerful countenance atall times and give every livingcreature you meet a smile. Togive so much time to the im-provement of yourself that youhave no time to criticize others.To be too large for worry, toonoble for anger, too strong forfear, and too happy to permitthe presence of trouble.

THE DESIRABLE MARGINThe passengers in the big car

speeding toward the railroadcrossing began arguing whetheror not they could beat the train.

"Don't get excited," said thedriver, "I can easily make it."

"And I say you can't,' shoutedthe front-seat passenger. 'Thetrain will beat us by twenty sec-onds."

"Gwan!" said the driver, whokept increasing his speed whilethe argument continued.

Finally a passenger in the rearseat, who had said nothing sofar, remarked as he clutched thesides of the rushing car. "Formy part, I don't care a hang whowins this race, but I hope itwon't be a tie."-Boston Trans-cript.

Woman on Boat: "Oh, Captain,I'm getting so sea-sick I don'tknow what to do."

Captain: "Don't worry ma'am,you'll do it."-Pitt 'Panther.

"Fadder, you told me youwould gif me a dollar efry timeI got an A in collitch. Fadder,I made two last week."

"Vell, Son, here's two dollars.,Now you quit studying so much,it's bad for you."-Whirlwind.

Music Entertains atFirst Assembly

Music that quells the savagebeast, was the feature of thefirst assembly following Christ-mas vacation. A masculine"blues singer" self accompaniedon the banjo-uke, was first on theprogram and sang several verypleasing numbers.

He was followed by two girlsfrom the conservatory of DesMoines University who enter-tained the "gang" with a groupof vocal and instrumental num-1-ers of semi-classical and popu-lar nature.

Of the wide variety of pro-grams that have been presented,it is evident that those of a mus-ical nature are most popular.

Pirates Break Even

The Pirate basketeers of StillCollege broke even in their lastthree starts, with a win, a lossand a tie, and had they had aslightly tighter defense, a cleanslate would have resulted. CoachFrank Sutton had his protegesbreaking into a smashing offensethat carried the ball t.o the hoopwith regularity.

The scoring aces were the de-pendable Downs and the flashyDavis. These men were able topenetrate the enemy's guardingpractically at will, for both closein set-ups and short loops fromabout the foul line.

However, the inability of thefront line of defense to co-oper-ate effectively with the guards,allowed one contest to be tiedand another to fall in the finalmoments of play.

Captain Friend lead his mento a rather easy victory atGraceland by a 45 to 28 count.It was Graceland's first reverseof the current season, and everyPirate played a bang-up game,both defensively and on thescoring end.

It was Henry Downs' "hot"night, and he caged the pill noless than nine times in the eve-ning's entertinment. At the half-way mark the Osteopaths lead19 to 7, and they continued topile up the points with equalfacility in the final period.

One of the greatest battlesever staged by a Stillonian ath-letic team, was the contest withthe strong Parsons quintet herewhich ended in a tie with thecount 28 to 28, at the mutualagreement of both mentors,whose men were fast reachingthe exhaustion point from thekilling pace, after two overtimeperiods had failed to show awinner.

The visitors had all the bestof the initial minutes of play,running up thirteen points, Whilethe bewildered Osteopaths notonly rarely even found a chanceto shoot, but failed utterly tosolve the enemy's short pass at-tack, which carried the ball tothe hoop with ease.

Just when it seemed that thePirates were due for one of theworst trimmings in their history,Cassis was sent into the fray atguard. This former Marriettahigh school star, although he isexceedingly small, showed suchan aggressive spirit that eventhe front line of defense caughtit, and from that time on theParson scoring machine was com-pletely out-fought and out-play-ed. "Red" Smith, also a Marri-

THE A. T. STILL RESEARCH INSTITUTE

Los Angeles, Cal., January 21, 1927.Dr. C. W. Johnson,

Des Moines, Iowa.Dear Dr. Johnson:-

Please let me tell you again how greatly I enjoyed meet-ing your classes, a'nd how greatly I do appreciate the memoryof your kindly hospitality.i It was a surprise to me to findD. M. S. C. O. with such large and splendid classes, but as Ivisited college after college I found that nearly every onehas larger classes of better educated young men and womenthan ever before. It speaks well for the future that theOsteopathic colleges attract such fine young people, and ourfuture is safe if our schools continue in such good work.

I hope that your hospital plans are being carried out ina way that pleases all of you, and that it will be a verysuccessful and useful institution.

Sincerely yours,

LOUISA BURNS.

Record Enrollment ForSecond Term

The Secretary's office has beena scene of great activity duringthe past two weeks with the workof registering old and new stu-dents for the coming term.Comparatively few upper-classstudents dropped out, and thenumber of new students surpass-es previous years.

To date the number of fresh-men entering the mid-year classis close to twenty, and it is ex-pected that that mark will bepassed by the expiration of thetime limit for matriculation.

The newcomers are an excel-lent looking group of students,and the student body extends tothem a most hearty welcome.They hail from all parts of thecountry, and one from Canada.At present they are wanderingaround the halls in somewhat ofa daze, but are beginning to"come to" and learn that it isnot so difficult as it may sound.

etta man, played a sterling con-test at the other guard.

With the stiffening of theguarding, the Suttonmen beganto send the ball thru the ringfor consistent counters. Yet,when two minutes were left toplay, the locals were four wholepoints in the rear. Davis andDowns came through with beau-tiful buckets at this crucialtime to knot the count 24 all.It was a great finish of whichonly a fighting team can boast.

Both quintets were over anx-(Continued on page 3)

Faculty BanquetSeniors

The annual Faculty Banquet inhonor of the graduating classwas held at Harris-Emery's onWednesday evening, January 19.Dr. John Woods acted as toast-master, and toasts were given byCoach Sutton, Miss Johnson andDr. Bachman.

The excellent dinner and wittyafter-dinner speeches proved afitting climax for the termina-tion of the four years' associa-tion.

Award Football LettersTwenty-one members of the

1926 football squad were awardedthe coveted "S following theSenior Class Day assembly.

After a brief resume of theactivities of the various playersby Coach Frank Sutton, Dr. H. V.Halladay, representing the Boardof Trustees Committee on Athlet-ics, presented the letters to Park,Dornbush, Myers, Lillard, Platt,F. McIntosh, J. P. Jones, Plude,Devine, Shaw, B. Jones, VanNess, Stafford, Russell, Walker,J. McIntosh, Cassis, Graham,Loghry, Sheets, and Ross.

Of the above group of lettermen, nine will be lost this yearby graduation.

A man's faithfulness or un-faithfulness to the call is re-vealed in the motives thatprompt him to choose his field.

Imitation is true flattery.

Mid-Year Commence-ment Impressive

The commencement exercisesfor the mid-year class were heldat the college auditorium onThursday evening, January 20th.

The hall was tastefully deco-rated with palms and ferns. Theclass entered preceded by theFaculty, and took their place onthe platform. Dr. Robert Bach-man gave the invocation, -whichwas followed by a tenor solo byThomas Mann.

The address of the eveningwasgiven by the Rev. Clifton Rash,and was one of the best everheard at a Still College com-mencement. Tempered with aslight degree of subtle humor,the speaker's words held the at-tention of the audience and theclass continuously. Sage adviceto the outgoing physicians wasgiven in such a manner that itcould not be mistaken nor over-looked.

The degrees were conferred bythe President, Dr. C. W. John-son, after which the honors wereconferred by the Dean, Dr. J. P.Schwartz. Dr. J. R. Swansonwon the Sigma Sigma Phi medalfor Proficiency in the Science ofOsteopathy, and Dr. LloydMitch-ell won the Service to the Collegeand Profession medal.

The annual banquet in honorof the graduating members ofBeta Chap.ter was held Mondayevening, January 17th, at theGrant Club. Doctors Woods andHalladay addressed the chapterand gave some sound and appro-priate advice to the graduatingbrothers, Doctors Jamieson andSwanson.

The chapter wishes to announcethe pledging of G. 0. Smith, Hub-bell, of the Junior A class.

PIll SIGMA GAMMA.A

The mid-year Formal was astupendous success.

The mid-year Stag Banquetwas a howling success.

The mid-year Examinationswere a miserable failure.

We are sorry to lose throughgraduation our former presidentand popular brother A. H. Lee.Dr. and Mrs. Lee left for PawPaw, Michigan, the home of theformer's parents, soon after grad-uation.

Brother Clarence "Two-GunRed" Granberg is back with usthis term. He has been attend-ing the U. of Denver the pastsemester. While there he helpedbuild the Colorado Canyon. Hebrings back several souvenirs ofhis trip, among which is a pairocf trained T. B. germs..

Gerald Beebe and Jack Cava-naugh are both determined towin their contest to see who willstay in the most nights this se-mester. So far she's a draw,with two nights apiece.

Brother Westburg took anothertrek up into the wilds of Minne-sota during the two or threedays of vacation between terms."Any time I can get away fromschool I like to get up into thevirgin forests, where the hand ofman has never set foot and Ican commune with nature unmo-lested, Westy told a "cub report-er" from the "Log Book."

Pledge Tucke was called hometo Niles, Ohio. We hope he canbe back with us next semester.

"Rachmaninoff" Stewart's newr song, "I'll Be Back in Mariettac in Honeybee Time and Have the

Hives With You," has turned out1 to be the most popular tune orI the campus.1 Roy Dorwart and Dale WeldonI our famous "Harmoniacs," haveI been quiet so long, we have hopesr that they have permanently misd placed their mouth organs.1. _

t IOTA TAU SIGMABy close observation at th(

e "Pan-Hel'" dance, it appears tha. brothers Jones and Nowlin havr enacted a little pin-planting act

Brother Peel Loghry was tal

"Pest House." Best o' luck Peel,and hurry back.

Several of the brothers arehappy to know that they didn'tfind it necessary to join BrotherLoghry.

Ask Brother Rorick aboutDiphtheria Bacillis.

Brothers Ross and Rorick evi-dently have some "good stuff"somewhere, for they have beentraveling together.

The pledges have been engagedin various activities during thepast week.

Brothers Herrick and Stenin-ger are back with us again. Gladto see you, boys. Which is thenoisiest, Herrick or the drums?

Brother Brenner decided thathe could not remain away fromthe "frau" any longer. He will beback next semester.

Some of the boys seem to havecold feet at night, but the Now-lin brothers seem to have coldheads-or why the night caps?

Brother Rohde will be in St.Louis this next semester, insteadof the "center of the world."They tell us St. Louis is the cen-ter of industry.

"Dumb Dora" Smith makes agood leader of "Coxy's Army,"but he sure is hump-backed.

Brother Wadkins retains hisindisputable lead in sleeping.

AssembliesThe casual! observer will note

that our Friday morning assem-blies are not very orderly, oncoming in and getting settled.Weekly, you will find the usualganlg hanging around outside,peeping in at the door, muchlike you would find the inmatespeeping at you were you to visitan institution for the weak-minded. Then, too, you will findjust inside the door, a bunchstanding with one foot out,ready to run. Recently, it wasobserved, that some of the en-tertainers could hardly get intothe room, on this account.

Again, it will be noticed thatno sooner does the program getStarted, than several get up andleave the room, only to returnin a few minutes, if they hearan unusually loud encore, tofgain leave in the middle of thepext number.

Observe also, the array of wallflowers, hanging in the windows,draped against the wall, andbanked in the corner, carryingon a monotone conversation,-when half the seats are vacant.

Then too, the entertainers getthe "raspberries" if, by chance,any of their numbers shouldsmatter of the word "love," orshould they accidently exposeany of their anatomy above thecalcaneus.

Now, would it not be more en-couraging if everybody wouldcome in, get seated on time, andremain throughout the entireprogram? Let the ones, whoselarge and lucrative practice,willpermit them to spend but a fewminutes, stay out in the hall, andnot disturb those who want to becourteous and appreciative.

An Iowa doctor is under firebecause of his alleged healingwith "radio waves.". That meth-od of healing sounds absurd, butmaybe it isn't. The point is, thatany conscientious, sincere per-son, seeking to alleviate humanwoes and misery should be per-mitted the opportunity to ex-periment.

We don't mean that the stateshould give every person whothinks he has a healing art, alicense to experiment with hu-man life. Certainly not. But wedo believe they should be encour-aged to make their experimentsin laboratories with lower formsof life, until their methods aresubstantiated or rejected-with-out too much censure and criti-cism.

Medical science has come along way in relieving human woe

and misery-but it has a longway yet to come.

Osteopathy dawned upon thehorizon a few years ago and allof the ethical men cried "Quack!Quack!!" But osteopathy is win-ning its way by the thousandsand thousands of suffering hu-mans to whom it has given re-lief.

Chiropractic is in its infancyas a healing power, yet thousandswill attest its merit, and itsleaders are fighting the samefight for recognition that theleaders of osteopathy fought.

Yet even as recently as a monthago a physician of the old ordercalmly termed both sciences as"quacks and frauds,'; through thedaily press.

We venture a prediction thatmedical science in the next onehundred years will change asgreatly as it has in the last onehundred years.

Barely more than a generationago the medical man who AD-MINISTERED AN ANESTHET-IC TO AN OPERATIVE PATIENTwas disgraced and dishonored byhis medical associates and fra-ternity for so doing. NOW ASURGEON WHO PERFORMEDA MAJOR OPERATION WITH-OUT THE USE OF ANESTHET-ICS WOULD BE SO CENSURED.

We hold no brief for the medi-cal man at Oskaloosa. We don'tremember even having heard hisname before.

We merely suggest that in suchthings, even the professionalshave a long way yet to go.

Demerit Plan Functions

To the joy of some and the sor-row of others, the demerit planinstituted by the Dean last fallfunctioned in a one hundred percent manner at the close of therecent semester.

The outline of the plan was asfollows: all students whosemonthly exam and daily gradesaveraged 85 per cent and whoseattendance for the semester was95 per cent would be exemptfrom semester finals. Tardiness,inattention and such discrepan-cies were to cause demerits to bemarked against the offender,four of which demerits were tocount as one absence.

As a result, several of the stu-dents who were lax on attend-ance or whose appetite for thebetween-class "cupscoffee" over-came their desire to answer firstrollcall found themselves con-fronted with the final in thatsubject.

The entire faculty adheredclosely to the Dean's orders, andthe ultimate result will be a de-cided improvement in the stu-dents' attendance records.

It is rumored around the hallsthat fewer students will be tak-ing the spring exams as a resultof this system.

Pirates Break Even(Continued from page 1)

ious in the first overtime periodand blew several opportunitiesto'put the contest on ice. Theguarding was of a do-or-dienature at this time. Two pointswere scored by each team in eachof the overtime periods, to endthe deadlock unbroken.

In the last contest the Piratesfell before their own lax defen-sive play and the deadly accu-racy of the St. Thomas aces,here, by 'a 37 to 31 count. Thetwo fives battled on even termswith the honors see-sawing backand forth.

The Purple and White held a15 to 14 lead at the half-wayrest period, but they continuedto handle the ball loosely ontheir offensive drive, and to lackthe all-important fight in guard-ing the territory under thebasket.

With three minutes to go andthe score tied, the long rangeartists from St. Paul swung intoaction and looped the sphere tocounters no less than five times.It was a sensational bit of shoot-ing, and completely sunk thePirate ship.

The consistent work of "Red"Smith and Downs stood out forthe Lesion Fixers.

The Buccaneers are just reach-ing the crowded part of a veryheavy schedule, and Coach FrankSutton feels that his dribblerswill hit their stride and play theball of which the are capable.The Osteopathic mentor has goneto a great deal of effort to ar-range the best hard surfaceschedule in Stillonian history,-- A_4_ .L -'-- -1 -..._11- - -1 . A1 ·.ana It is noneea that the athleteswill rise to the opportunity af-forded them in such strong com-petition.

The Frosh continued to fightaway all contenders for the dug-out championship of the Hawk-eye league. So far, they have aperfect record, without a win,but they are hopeful that DameFortune may smile on their ef-forts before the season ends.

The lack of practice has shownin practically every game, andafter leading in the first half,they have fallen before the bet-ter condition of rival fives.Three of the contests were lostby a total of seven points. Theyearling pass work has been thebest in the league, and now thatthe forwards have their eye onthe hoop, a change of results isexpected.

The work of Cassis was sofavorable to Coach Sutton, thatthe speedy Ohioan was trans-ferred to the Varsity. Cassis hasbeen aflashy foorman and con-sistent scorer for the youngsters.Lang has also been out standingbecause of his ability to handlethe team's offensive play.

It is likely that Hamilton willbe lost to the squad because ofan old football injury that hasgiven him trouble. The littlefellow has been a great worker,but could not show to best ad-vantage because of this handicap.

Hydemann has given a goodaccount of himself when sentinto the fray.

Well,one day when his office was wellfilled with patients, in came anold German lady and at oncecommenced to pull up her dressand said: "Doctor, I want you tolook at my leg."

The Doctor, somewhat embar-rassed, got the old lady into histreating room and proceeded toexamine her leg. The old ladysaid: "Doctor, the M. D.'s tell meI have milk leg, but I don't be-lieve it, as I haven't given milkfor 40 years."

Pirates Hit WinningStride

The fighting Pirate hoop squadjust complete one of the mostsuccessful periods of competitionthat any Purple and White teamhas ever enjoyed. During the tendays in which Coach Frank Sut-ton sent his men against six ofthe best quintets in this section,five wins and one defeat was reg-istered.

The Osteopathic mentor hasdeveloped a fast breaking offense,composed of Captain Friend,Davis and Hannon, which aver-aged 35 points per contest inthis period of play. The passingcombination of Friend and Davishas shown brilliant scoring pow-er, while Mike Hannon loopedthe ball through the hoop con-sistently from his favorite pos-ition behind the foul line.

Defensively, the Stillonianshave improved considerably overtheir early season efforts. "Red"Smith and Van Ness have reachedtop form and held the oppositionto an average of 26 points pergame.

The opening contest with Plattcollege, which was lost 26 to 24,seemed to serve as a stimulus forlater victories. The locals playedindifferently in the first half, butcame back strong in the secondperiod to pull up from behindand come within two points of atie. Van Ness played a stellargame at guard.

In the first contest of a three-day trip, the Buccaneers metBuena Vista and successfullydowned them to the tune of 31to 24. The Osteopaths led 18 to-9at half -time and let down enoughin the final period to save them-selves for the rest of the games.Captain Friend was the individ-ual star and counted no less thannine buckets.

The following night the com-bination of Friend, Davis andHannon ran wild against WesternUnion and rolled up the highscore of 51 to 28. The half ended25 to 14 and the outcome wasnever in doubt. .The countingfrom the floor was led by Davis,while "Red' Smith put up asplendid exhibition on defense.

The final game of the trip wasplayed at Trinity, where the Pi-rates emerged victorious, 37-28,only after one of the hardestbattles of the seasons' play. Dur-ing the initial period, the leadsee-sawed back and forth, withthe end finding Still on top 17-15. The Suttonmen then pro-ceeded to jump into a temporarylead which was soon cut down toa 25-all count. At this crucial:point "Two-Gun" Cassis was in-


OPERA STARS AIDNEW YORK CLINIC

A Sunday afternoon benefitconcert recently given at theMetropolitan Opera House, earn-ed over ten thousand dollars forthe New York Osteopathic Clinic.

The artists who volunteeredtheir services for the concertwere: Florence Astral, soprano;Joseph Hofmann, pianist, and Al-ber-t Spalding, violins, who wereassisted by a symphony orches-tra under Mr. Bamboischek of theMetropolitan Opera Company.

According to press dispatchThe Herald-Tribune mentionsthe affair as "one of the mostsuccessful benefits of the season,judging by size and enthusiasmof the public and the quality ofentertainment offered."

The New York OsteopathicClinic is chartered by the Stateand licensed by the State Boardof Charities and has been in ex-isttence since 1914. Patients arereceived without discriminationas to race, creed or color. Thosewho can afford a small fee arecharged for diagnosis and treat-ment, and thus help defray ex-penses. These fees average thir-ty-two cents.

The Osteopathic Society of theCity of New York, anticipatingthe sale of the building then oc-cupied by the clinic, raised $200,-000 in cash and pledges for .thepurchase and erection of the newbuilding which is now nearingcompletion. The laying of thecorner stone exercise at theClinic Building will be held dur-ing the latter part of February_o a e- 4 rso o_ _vtrar 1or Mne nrst ot0 March.

The D. M. S. C. O. Faculty:-andthe Osteopathic profession wereagain signally honored when oneof their number, Dr. Mary Gol-den, was elected President of theWomen's Chamber of Commerceof this city.

Dr. Golden has ben active inthe work of the Chamber ofCommerce organization for sometime, and this honor is a fittingreward for her years of loyal andefficient service. Dr. Golden isthe first Osteopath to be so rec-ognized.

Oregon Student Recruit-ing Committee ActiveThe Log Book recently re-

ceived a copy of the letter sentout by Dr. G. E. Holt, Chair-

_ _ ,1 n 41 ]*I-man oI tne Stuaent RecruitingCommittee of the Oregon Osteo-pathic Association, to the men inthat field, reporting the activi-ties of his committee, and en-deavoring to stimulate more in-terest in this phase of associa-tion work.

From his survey of the colleg-es, he found that fourteen stu-*dents are matriculated from thestate of Oregon and that of thisnumber, eight are at present inthe Freshman Class and three inthe Sophomore, which is evidencethat Oregon is started on theright track and is getting downto work.

If all state associations wouldhave as well organized a studentrecruiting committee, the vari-ous colleges throughout the coun-try would be filled to capacity.New students are the life's bloodof the profession, and the surestsource of this vital element isthe field men themselves.

Good luck to you, Oregon. D.M. S. C. 0. hopes you succeed inyour campaign one per man peryear.

Frosh Spring Surprise

The new Freshman B classsprung one of the best surpriseson record at the recent assemblyin their honor. Customarily it isnecessary to employ considerableurging to get the boys to "dotheir stuff," but not so with thisbunch. They are by far the bestorganized Freshman class thathas enrolled for some time.

At the beginning of the asserm-bly the new students were calledto the platform and much to theastonishment of the student bodythey responded to a man, with-out the need of a second invita-tion. Next they informed theconductor that they could con-duct their own show, and pro-ceeded to do so in a highly effi-cient manner. Bennie Devine,president of the class, assumedthe interlocutor's chair, and eachmember of' the class introducedhimself and told the studentshow glad he was to be there. Al-most to a man they commentedupon the impression the spiritexistent among the students hadmade upon them. Following theirintroductions, they rendered theschool songs with much gusto,also the various yells of the col-lege and some of their own origi-nation.

As a motto, the class has adopt-ed the title, "The No-final Class,"each individual pledging that hewill keep his grades above thepoint that will excuse him fromfinal examinations. Such spiritis conclusive evidence that theboys are here for business. Anadditional innovation to bechalked down to their credit wastheir selection of a Class Fatherwho will .watch cbvel lic- i des-tinies throughout the four yearsof their college life. Dr. VirgeHalladay was chosen for this re-sponsible position, which selec-tion is another instance of the"Frosh's" good judgment.

It is sincerely hoped that fu-ture classes will pattern afterthe Class of January, 1931, andalsot hat some of the presentclasses would adopt the "No Fi-nal" slogan. Power to you,Freshman!

Canadian OsteopathicProblems

Throughout the profession, con-siderable comment was arousedin 1925 when the provincial gov-ernment of the Province of On-tario passed the bill taking awaythe title of "Doctor" from theOsteopaths. Evidence of the factthat the members of the profes-sion in that territory have beenon the job and that public sen-timent is on their side is appar-ent in the following two articlesfrom the Toronto Globe:

Rights of Osteopaths

Considerable discussion hasagain developed in the press ofthe Province around the right ofosteopaths to the title of "Doc-tor." This right is at present de-nied them by an amendment tothe Ontario Medical Act in 1925,which restricts the use of theterm to medical doctors, dentistsand registered chemists. Manypeople are of the opinion thatsuch a restriction is unfair tothe public at large by the impo-sition of an unnecessary hard-ship, technical though it may be,on those who have rendered~splendid service to sufferinghumanity.

To such restriction as the-amendment to the Medical Actnow imposes osteopaths havesteadily objected. They havebased their claims for a recog-nized standing on the course oftraining they have taken to fitthemselves for their profession,and on the healing ministrationsthey practice. This training isthorough, comprehensive and in-clusive on all sides, the osteo-pathic course lasting four years,and in some cases longer.

That the science of healingshould be surrounded with everysafeguard to keep it from ex-ploitation by quacks and charl-atans, no one would for a mo-ment deny. There are professedschools and "colleges" that claimto teach the healing art in a fewweeks, or that will even presentto their students a diploma tak-en by correspondence. From allsuch, the profession may wellseek to be delivered. But whereany curative system has stood thetest of human experience as has

osteopathy; where the trainingin that system can be shown tobe thorough and adequate in allits technical and cultural re-quirements, its intrinsic worthshould be acknowledged and duerecognition given.

The large debt of gratitudethat the world owes the medicalprofession for what it has donefor humanity is readily admitted.But doctors are fallible humancreatures, remarkably like theirfellow-men. They well know thatthroughout the ages the practiceof medicine and the healing ofhuman ills have been subject toconstant change and modificationand that to no branch of curativescience has been committed alltruth that concerns the treat-ment of the ills of the flesh. Ail-ments that will not yield to onemethod of treatment may do soto another method, as most peo-ple have proved again and again.It is now too late in the day toclose the eyes and refuse to rec-ognize the benefits that havebeen conferred upon thousands,through the science of oste-opathy.

That there should be any con-flict between the members of themedical profession and osteo-paths is regrettable. Are notboth engaged in the same heal-ing ministry? The osteopath hasnot the slightest desire to usurpthe place of the medical man orto sail under false colors throughthe use of the title "Doctor,"but he thinks the discriminationis unjust. In no State of the Un-ion does such restriction exist.And yet we have not heard thatthe general public of the UnitedStates has suffered in its healthin any way because of this libertyand fair treatment.

The present amendment to theOntario Medical Act works ahardship-a decided hardship-on a body of men who haveproved their right to the title of"Doctor.' It is a matter in whichthe public at large is interested,and has no desire, The Globe be-lieves, to see this injustice per-petuated. The amendment shouldreceive the reconsideration ofthe Ontario Legislature at theearliest possible moment and thisobvious defect remedied.-(Tor-onto Ont. Globe).

Osteopaths' ViewsClearly Set Forth by

Dr. G. A. De JardineDeals With Demand That Prac-

titioners Give Up Title ofDoctor

"FIGHT JUST BEGNINNING"

"In 1914 the German militarymachine demanded that Belgiumshould give up her birthright.Belgium refused, with the re-sults known. Today the medico-political machine is demandingthat osteopathy give up its birth-right or be persecuted. The onlyanswer that can be given by anyself-respecting osteopathic phy-sician is: Persecute.'

This emphatic assertion camefrom Dr. G. A. De Jardine, Pres-ident of the Association of Os-teopathic Physicians, in thecourse of an interview with the

Globe yesterday on the questionof the occupational designationof the word "Doctor," and theright of the osteopathic profess-ion to its use.

Dr. De Jardine's Views"The question raised by the

College of Physicians and Sur-geons regarding their professionbeing the only one entitled touse the word "Doctor" is an in-teresting one, and is once againbrought to the fore by theirprosecution of an osteopathicphysician," said Dr. De Jardine.

"The same fight was wagedsome years ago against the home-opaths, and also the dentists.Now it is the osteopaths' turn,and the fight is just commencing.

"Just what constitutes a 'doc-tor' is the question. There arethree schools of 'medicine,' usingthe term in a broad sense. TheAllopathic, the Homeopathic andthe Osteopathic, and it shouldbe clearly grasped that the dif-ference between these threeschools is not in quantity or qual-ity of education, but in their in-dividual viewpoint as to thecause of disease and suffering,and their methods of combatingand curing it.

"The education given by thesethree schools of thought is prac-tically identical. In many of theStates of the United States thegraduates of these schools takethe same examination for licenseto practice.

"The first two of these schools,the Allopathic and the Homeo-pathic, use drugs mainly, in aneffort to cure disease. The Osteo-pathic school contends that ifthe mechanism of the body is asit ought to be, the body will pro-duce within itself all substancesnecessary to cure. Because ofthis viewpoint, manipulative,corrective treatment, is substi-tuted for whatever we considerunscientific and often harmfulinternal drug medication.

'Surgery Taught"Osteopathic physicians, how-

ever, are by no means druglesspractitioners, although classifiedunder this group in Ontario.Since the inception of osteo-pathy, fifty years ago, surgeryhas always been taught in osteo-pathic colleges, and this, ofcourse, necessitates the com-plete knowledge of certaindrugs. Indeed, osteopathy hasproduced many noted surgeons.

Dr. George Still, nephew of thefounder of osteopathy, was recog-nized as one of the greatest sur-geons on this continent, and wasthe first surgeon to operate suc-cessfully on the living heart,when he removed a bullet fromthe heart of a young man, re-paired the reart, and the patientlived.

"Dr. M. A. Lane, one of theforemost scientists, whose dis-coveries made possible the dis-covery of insulin later, was Pro-fessor of Immunology at theKirksville College.

"Are these men doctors?"In Los Angeles, the most mod-

ern and best equipped hospitalis operated exclusively by osteo-pathic physicians and surgeons,who attend to every type of sick-ness and suffering.

"Then at the present time, the(Continued on page 4)

Drop Charges AgainstIllinois Osteopath

Amended information againstDr. Will O. Medaris, osteopathicphysician, charging him withviolation of the medical practiceact in that he performed a tonsiloperation, was squashed by JudgeFred E. Carpenter in countycourt Saturday afternoon.

The court's decision was basedon several state supreme courtrulings, showing that osteopathicphysicians have training and ed-ucation in the practice of sur-gery and obstetrics, equal to thatof graduates of the regular med-ical colleges, and that osteopathsare taught in their schools to ad-minister certain drugs or medi-cines, especially those used asincident to surgery and obstet-rics such as antiseptics, anaes-thetics and narcotics. From thesesupreme court rulings the judgeheld that an osteopath licensedprevious to 1923 could performsurgical operations.

The Illionos state board ofhealth issued a license to prac-tice to Dr. Medaris in October,1916, on basis of examination.In forming his opinion on theaction of the supreme court,Judge Carpenter said it gave theosteopath the right to do thingswhich he had previously supposedit could not do. Rockford osteo-paths, greatly interested in thedecision, charge that the act of1923 discriminating against os-teopaths, was the result of con-spiracy of the medical profess-ion.

ACQUAINTANCES

By Tessa Sweazy WebbHave you ever met "Mis-For-

tune"?If you have, you know .her

quest.She holds grief and tears and

sorrowThat leave furrows of unrest.

She has frowns as dark as mid-night,

And rebukes as cold as ice,Grim adversity and heart-aches

Does Miss-Fortune sacrifice.

Why not try to lose this ladyIn her device to beguile

Take her darkest frown, andpuncture

With the searchlight of asmile,

Laugh at her intrigues and ha-tred,

Weave her sighs into a song.Then we'll find that sweet "Miss

Laughter"In her joys will trip along.

Fairy queen is Lady Laughter,Rose-lipped goddess of all glee;

Bands of grief she tears asunderAnd dispels all misery.

With her winsome smile of sun-shine

She will hold our thoughts su-preme,

And the memory of "Miss-For-tune"

Will then vanish like a dream,

Always Do a Little Better thanSeems Necessary.

Pirates Hit WinningStride

(Continued from page 1)jected into the lineup of the fal-tering Pirate and he immediatelyflashed through with three fieldgoals, which sent the visitors in-to a lead that was never againin danger. Mike Hannon andSmith were defensive stars.

Against Omaha university here,the Buccaneers displayed a won-derful finish which sent themahead to win by one point, 28-27,in the last minute of play. Itwas a sensational finish, led byHarold Davis, perhaps the flash-lest forward ever to wear thePurple and White.

After piling up a ten pointlead in the opening minutes, theOsteopaths eased up, but soonfound themselves in a 17-17 tieat half time. Omaha's short passdefense completely baffled thelocal guards and with five min-utes to play, the visitors held afour point lead. Here, Davis re-entered the fray and his threecounters from close-in positionsproved the margin of victory.

The Pirates presented a prac-tically perfect passing combina-tion against Ellsworth, here, andhad no difficulty in coming outon the long end of a 37 to 25count. Davis, Hannon and Friendpenetrated the enemy defensewith their fast break and skill-fully out-maneuvered the oppon-ents' guards for set-ups. "Red"Lagpg and Van Ness played wellin the back court.

In the next two weeks theSwashbucklers will continue tomeet fast combinations at homeand abroad, and Coach Sutton isconfident that he has his menready to add more scalps to theiralready heavily laden belts.

It is agreed that the squad haslost the services of VernonSpringer, who has been one of thePirates most dependable scoringaces since his entrance here lastyear. Springer was one of Kirks-ville's best dribblers before com-ing here. He found his scholasticwork too heavy to allow his con-tinuance with the hoop artists.

The Freshmen basketteers arestill occupying the cellar berthin the Hawkeye league, with lit-tle indication of rising from thelowly depts. In their last contestagainst the University of Com-merce, they were decisively bea-ten 32-11. However, they pre-sented a lineup which was madeup of a new combination. Thestar yearlings, Cassis and Lang,were absent and took part in theVarsity contest. Lindbloom, inhis first Frosh appearance, play-ed well and will likely prove tobe Varsity material. Purdue didall of the young Stillonians scor-ing with three field goals.

IQonger has played an aggres-sive defensive game with theFrosh, and has also been a reli-able pivot man in the passing.Faus also has done well at guard.

Frosh-You guys don't knowknow how to get along with theDean, that's all. Now, you wantto go in and humor him, the wayI do.

Soph: Huh; you don't humorhim-you amuse him.

"It is useless to attempt tomislead the public longer as tothe real status and work osteo-pathic physicians are doing. Theobject of this persecution is evi-dent on attempt to belittle os-teopathy of public favor. Thetide toward osteopathy is gain-ing in strength daily, and theseattempts are as futile as wasold King Chanut's attempt tostem the tides of the ocean.

"It is surely a pity when agreat and noble profession per-mits a few of its members todegrade it by such puerile acts.

Cardinals DefeatedAgain By Osteopaths

Still Comes Here and MakesQuite a Noise Achieving

Victory.

Osteopathy, so Mr. Webstertells us, seeks to adjust correctlythe misplaced parts of the anat-omy without the use of drugs

--and by the manipulation of cer-tain bones.

Five hustling lads from theDes Moines Still College of Os-teopathy held a sociable clinicfor benefit of several hundredinterester spectators at the Uni-versity of Omaha gymnasium onTuesday night and at the end oftheir session had administereda rather painful basket balldrubbing to the Cardinals, 45-3'0.

Harold Davis, the chief bone-setter of the traveling osteo-paths, seemed destined to suc-ceed in his chosen profession.However, Harold was ratherpainful at times, Tuesday night.At least, he was painful to theCardinals, for at the end of thecontest, Harold had collected aneven dozen goals from the fieldand five free throws for a grandtotal of 2'9 points.

But Harold was very consider-ate. After every goal he smiledbroadly for the fans and the af-fable young fellow, who recentlymade 36 goals in a single game,converted the gallery to osteo-pathy through his kindly min-istrations.

Davis had an insistent rival inBenny Prather, Omaha center,who still takes his castor oilwith a good old fashioned tea-spoon. Benny dogged the shiftyDavis and at the final gun hasamassed 20 points for himself,accrued through the medium ofseven field goals and six gifttosses.

OUR COLLEGE!

Oh Still; thou college of our pride,Arise, and in thy might decree,

That all pay homage to thy majesty.Able men thy footsteps guide,

Who walk the path to greatness by your side.The greatest wealth of all is yo1lrt to hold,

Not paltry grandeur, nor less honest gold,nor blinded worship of a dying creed,

But men of newer thot, and greater deed,Contented that with you they may abide.

Though darkness sometime hold you in its sway,It's stay is short-it rules you but a day.

May peace forever reign in your domain,As great thou art-so great thou must remain.

-B. E. SCOTT.

Band Practicing

The far-famed "Silver Cornet"band of D.M.S.C.O. is at it again.After a brief rest since theirstrenuous days during the lastHomecoming celebration, themusically inclined members ofthe student body are back on thejob regularly tooting away underthe able direction of Dr. VirgeHalladay.

Their first appearance will bemade in assembly the Fridaymorning preceding the basket-ball game with Kirksville. Theorganization has been somewhataugmented this semester and thestudent body are looking for-ward to its initial appearancewith great interest. Dr. Halladay,Sousa's greatest rival, states thatthey have added several intri-cate overtures to their alreadylarge repertoire; and have onethat they are so adept in play-ing that they can start at eitherend of the music and the aud-ience will not know the differ-ence. Anyhow, we'll all be gladto see the band out again, andonly wish that they could appearmore often at the weekly as-semblies. Say, for instance, onceevery month.

Thirteen Frosh Shot

Thirteen members of FreshmenB. Class were shot in unison lastThursday, but the latest bulletinstates that all will recover.These men faced the guns in theinterests of the 1927 Stillonian.

To date, nearly all the pic-tures of the different classesnave been taken, and only a fewof the dignified seniors have beenunable to tear themselves awayfrom their practices long enoughto face the camera. It is expect-ed to have all the necessaryphotographs taken by the mid-dle of the coming week.

The various departments ofthe book are rapidly nearingcompletion, and the co-operationthat is being given the staff bythe student body is in a largeway responsible for the promptmanner in which the material isbeing received. The Snap-shotEditor is on the look-out for pic-tures taken during Homecomingcelebration, various fraternity"Hell-weeks," last spring's base-ball tournament, and StillonianDay track meet. Snapshots ofstudents and of subjects associ-ated with the college, are alwaysacceptable. The staff does notpromise to reproduce all snap-shots handed in, but will selectthe best and most appropriatefor the book. The larger thegroups to choose from, the bet-ter the selection for publication.So, don't feel -slighted if youturn in pictures that are notused. Get your pictures in assoon as possible.

His in-itial training in fundamentalscience was taken at iowa StateCollege, where he received thedegree Bachelor of Science, atthe completion of four years ofmajor study in the natural sci-ences.

From his collegiate trainingC. W. Johnson went immediatelyinto executive educational work.For six years he served as super-intendent and teacher in thepublic school system of a south-western Iowa town. During thatperiod he attained marked rec-ognition in the various educa-tional "institutes" over the state,because of his direct methods inpresentation of science and hisorganizing abilities.

It was early in the history ofDes Moines Still College, at that.time the S. S. Still College, thatits present head entered the-then new science of osteopathy..He was a member of the thirdclass to be graduated from theschool. For five years Dr. Johnsonconducted a successful generalpractice in northern Iowa, andthen was recalled to the DesMoines school to become a mem-ber of the faculty. He has servedin various capacities; director ofclinics, director of obstetrics, in-structor of general science, in-structor of the specific nervoussciences, and was for fourteenyears Dean, prior to his havingbecome acting President lastMay.

From the Field

The following are excerptsfrom a letter from Dr. LloydMitchell, a member of the recentmid-year class, who is interningat the Southwestern OsteopathicSanitarium:

"We are in a brand new build-ing, just a year old and it isvery modern in all respects.They do a good deal of work here.At present we are somewhat lowbut before this week, were plentybusy. They average three majorsa week and plenty tonsils andcasts. The surgeon here is adandy and bne of us get to scruband assist in every op. At pres-ent I'm not on that service, butI get to see every one and scrubfor the tonsils and minors. Ourtonsil man uses the Ruddy tech-nic, which is the real way.

"We have to run a routine teston every op patient which is ur-inanalysis, coagulation, bloodpressure and heart, then afterthe op we treat the patient eachmorning and night. And believeme, it sure is a help to the pa-tients. I never knew that it waspossible to do some of the thingsI have been doing here in postoperative treatment."

ATLAS CLUBMiss Johnson was a guest of

honor at the club for dinner Feb.14, after which she delivered amost instructive address to themembers on Psychology and itsrelation to disease. We appre-ciated having her with us, andthoroughly enjoyed her lecture.

Bros. Gann and Utterbachspent the week-end at home inPerry, Iowa.

Our Bi-annual Pledge Dancewas held at the house on Fridayevening, Feb. 18. Everyone re-ports a good time. Xiphoid Chap-ter takes pleasure in announcingthe pledging of W. E. Bankes ofAkron, Ohio.

Readings of the MAXIMETERas follows: Brothers Damm andDoyle each scoring 90. BrotherRockhill scoring 13, which isconsiderable below normal -what's the matter, Rockie,

Brother Warthman requeststhat the brothers kindly refrainfrom flirting with his wife asshe strolls by the Frat house.He also sincerely hopes thealarm clock wasn't broken in therush to open the window. Apol-ogies will be received by BrotherMusselman.

IOTA TAU SIGMAA temporary quarantine was

again a visitor at the house, atleast such was the case if onebelieves in signs. There certainlywas no return visit wished for,even if they do say that thethird time is a charm. It hasbeen suggested that we have abig red sign with purple lettersnext time.

Brothers Wigal and Morrowdecided they would also take alittle trip, but it seems they werenot enthused about their trip, soafter a short sojourn, returnedto the house. No doubt, Wigalhad a "pressing engagement."

Brother Herrick has not de-cided to stay a while yet and itis so quiet around the house thatit is almost oppressing, but no-Brother Shaw still toots andBrother Steininger can still blow

their musical instruments tosay nothing of our suffering un-der the piano pounding of Bros.Jones and Ross.

Brother Platt not only believesin a dirty upper lip, but it lookslike he forgot to wash his chin,also. I'll guess what it is.

Brother "Cousin Ambrose"Rorick doesn't even ride thecaboose-he walks.

The "Crows Nest" is undergo-ing a little interior decorating.More like home every day.

The "Three Horsemen" arenow in the sand and gravel busi-ness. Offices are now open andsalesmen are wanted. They re-port a fine business.

From all reports it looks likeBrothers Hovis and Russell triedto "string" someone.

The Chapter enjoyed a Valen-tine Dance on Feb 11 and every-one had a ripping good time.

Beta Chapter takes pleasure inannouncing the pledging ofLlewllyn S. Hughes.

P. S. G. NOTESPreston Howe says there is no-

thing that makes him so mad asto have to stay in bed 'till seveno'clock on these nice mornings."The only trouble is, if I get upbefore that, I'll invariably go tosleep before the afternoon iswell under way," he told us thisA. M., while looking up themeaning of LeptotrombidiumAkamushi, to spring on the boys.

Walter Cuff, who rooms withDavis, has become jealous of thelatter's exterior decoration, andhas forgotten to shave his upperlip for the past two or threedays. Spence, who sleeps withCuff, was awakened last night tohear the little fellow repeatingthe following poem:

Ray Perdue only received two"specials" yesterday. What's thematter, Ray? Perdy can be seenat most any hour of the day withfountain pen between clenchedteeth, and a far-away look in hiseyes, mumbling: "Oh, for thewords," and tearing his hair, forhe writes so many letters hecan't remember what he has andwhat he has not written.

Stage Door Stone is runninghither and yon so much thisweek he's beginning to look like"Rip Van Winkle". Better getsome rest, Rocky.

Now that spring has shown afew edges and the poetic in-stinct is beginning to get theupper hand, Stew, Tom, RedStewart, Westy, Weldon, Perdueand Lowell, have chipped in andbought a two-gallon jug of San-ford's Ink and are hard at it.

Walt Heinlen, while gettingout of his upper the other A. M.,inadvertently placed one footupon Otey's cherubic, up-turnedvisage. "He looked so innocentand sweet as he- slept there withthe winsome mouth slightly ajar,that I wouldn't have touchedhim for anything, but my footslipped," said Walt.

A PUN, YES, BUT NOT SO BAD!

We heard last week a sharperextolling the merits of an old-fashioned anti-fat remedy. Hewent too far, however, when hedeclared it was the original stuflthat made the Tower of Pisalean!

-DES MOINES STILL COLLEGEOF OSTEOPATHY

president ................ C. W. Johnson

Editor ..-......---....-- ..- Don Baylor


Titus Latinus was apparentlyvery much of a Roman scholar,Plutarch only made occasionalreference to him, but sufficientlyFo to determine that Philosophyand Latinus lived in the samehouse. "Hoc age" was one of theconcise Roman headlines Latinusused when he wanted to crowda number of words into two. Just-what it actually means, a realstudent of ancient Romanesemust tell. As it is interpreted inone of The Lives, however, itreads-"Do what you are about"or "do it now." It seems that, ac-cording to Latinus, when themagistrates wished to attractthe attention of the populace, aherald would go forth and pro-claim with a loud voice, "hocage." This was a notification tothe people to not forget whatthey had decided to do, and todo it now.

There are some osteopathicstudents, perhaps, who are miss-Ing this cue. The time to learnOsteopathy is now. "Do it now"ought to make a good slogan forevery D. M. S. C.O. student.

A Word to the Wise

On Feb. 9, Luther Drabing,Seniar "B", missed 0. B. for thefirst time this year.. At the be-ginning of the semester, themembers of the class decreed,that anyone deliberately cuttinga class would be dealt with ac-cordingly. Since Drabing's ab-sence fell in the unexcusableclass, it was deemed wise tomake an example of him. Whenhe appeared for the second per-iod, a reception was held, in themen's waiting room, for him.

The Seargent-at-arms held himon the table, while the membersof the class marched by, eachone laying on a gentle reminderthat the recipient did not soonforget. It is needless to say, thatto date, no other member of theclass has been the honored gueston such an occasion.

Practical Work Meeting

The girls of the college metat Dr. Catherine A. Brock's onThursday evening, February 24,for the first work meeting ofthe semester.

Dr. John M. Woods gave amost instructive talk on PhysicalDiagnoisis, and we hope we mayhave the privilege of hearinghim again in the near future.

Refreshments still form anattractive feature of these oc-casions, and Jessie Leftwichproved herself an efficient ca-terer,

Campus Politics Thrive

During the past two weeksthe air around our dignifiedhalls of learning has reeked ofpolitics. Class meetings and elec-tions have been in vogue and thetask of selecting the "best man"for the coming semester, hasrested heavily on the shouldersof some.

However, the atmosphere hascleared somewhat by now andthe various factions are againon speaking terms for the bal-ance of the year. Those lucky (?)individuals chosen to guide theships of state for the variousclasses for the coming semesterare as follows:

cure attention or create interestas quickly as will good band ororchestral music. With a studentbody the size of ours and withthe experienced talent availableto the extent that it is in D. M.S.C.O., there is no reason whywecannot have an orchestra to openevery Friday assembly. Two orthree "hot numbers"' will getstudents in the room and seatedquicker than anything else. Itis out of the question to expectDr. Halladay to devote moretime to school activities than heis already putting in, so it willbe up to the student body to getan orchestra started. Why not?Some of you enterprising youngmusicians pick out a gang andrun over a few numbers for nextFriday, and after the ice is brok-en, you will have all the helpyou need.

And while we are on the sub-ject of music, why can't StillCollege have a Quartet and aGlee Club? No reason on theface of the earth. This would beanother feature that would notonly "pep up" the weekly as-semblies, but would also improvethe spirit around the school tosome extent. There are at leasttwenty or thirty fellows aroundschool that you can think of onthe spur of the moment, that en-joy gathering around in the"Gent's Smoking Room" and har-monizing a little during thenoon hour, or before footballpractice. Why can't these menact as a nucleus for a group tostart things off with in assembly?Three years ago we all got quitea "kick" out of expanding ourlungs to the tune of "AnnieLaurie," and some of the otherold stand-bys, and we would now,if we would get started again.This is another thing the stu-dents will have to initiate them-selves. Get a gang together, sittogether in assembly, and putsome of the old time "pep" intothe song-fest. Call it a Glee Club-or a Barber Shop Chorus, ordon't call it at all-just have it.Then out of the group, select thefour that have the greatest vari-ation in their voices, and havethe required amount of nerve,and designate them as the Quar-tet, and have them appear oc-cassionally on the platform.

Thru this combination of qual-ities we see the new Presidentof Des Moines Still College, de-veloping his work as director ofthe school, along definite linesand principles.

Mother Halladay will be re-membered as early as 1899 bysome of the students as manag-ing a rooming and boardinghouse at 803 W. Pierce St. inKirksville. Later she moved to506 S. Stanford and then to 316S. Franklin. At all these ad-dresses she rented rooms to stu-dents and enjoyed greatly theirassociation. For a time she waswith her sister, Miss Lyda Bren-neman, at 310 E. Jefferson St.,assisting with the affairs of theboarding house, and made manymore friends among those study-ing Osteopathy.

Since coming to Des Moines,Iowa, with her son, she has beenmade an honorary member ofthe Delta Omega Sorority for herclose association with the devel-opment of Osteopathy, and hasdelighted in the friendship ofthe girls of the college.

Her death was due to AorticRegurgitation complicated withcancer of the bladder. Fortu-nately for her, the period ofsuffering with the cancer con-dition was greatly shortened bythe already present heart lesion.

In Memory of Mother Halladay

A friend has died-a friend who lovedThe gentle ways of truth and right,

Now stands upon the shores of time,And beckons us toward the light.

Let they who stay be better menBecause of her who lived for them.

Ideals to her were sacred things,She made of them a simple creed,

Which glorified each spoken thotAnd sanctified each gentle deed.

Yet linger with us, noble soul,To light us to our distant goal.

DR. J. P. SCHWARTZ

The title "Dean" has comethru the traditions of educationto carry a conatation of affec-tion. The Dean, of all membersof an educational force, if he bea true dean in the fullest mean-ing of the word, is beloved ofthe students. He stands as a buf-fer state between them and theirfaculty; them and their presi-dent; and when need be, betweenthem and the public.

There is no other position ina collegiate organization so es-sentially a personal matter, andnone requiring so definitely aspecific personality. The Dean ofDes Moines Still College, is anexample of the perfect Dean.Amiably known as "J. P." tonearly all, and affectionatelyknown as "Pinkie" to many, Dr.John P. Schwartz came to thedeanship this year in an aureaof student devotion which wouldjustify his position, were thereno other qualifications-but Dr.Schwartz has many.

If close association with aschool in many capacities is aqualification, the present deanscores there. Coming to DesMoines Still College eight yearsago last fall, he has been an ac-.tive member of the faculty ever-since. Having received his de--gree of D. 0. from the American.School of Osteopathy at Kirks-ville, Mo., he came to DesMoines for post graduate work,and while completing it, tookthe position of instructor inbacteriology. Upon finishing hispost graduate course, he enteredDes Moines General Hospital fortwo years of internship, continu-ing at the same time his in-structing at the college. At theclose of his intern service, Dr.Schwartz, in recognition of hismarked ability, was made as-sistant surgeon on the hospital.staff under Dr. S. L. Taylor, andhas since that time been a regu-

Pirates Split With Tabor

The- Osteopathic banner car-ried by Coach Frank Sutton andhis able hoopsters continued itstriumphant march by scoringtwo victories and being nosedout in the third by an eyelash.The quintet led by the depend-able Captain Friend and thebrilliant work of Harold Davisis setting a wonderful record,and the team play as a whole,ranks with the best in the state.

For some unknown reason, inthe engagement with the flashyTabor five, the Pirates could notfind the basket in the first half.Davis, in particular, was missinghis loops by the barest margains,while the defense could not haltthe continued assault of the vis-itors, who sank the pill from allpositions.

The half-time score was 21-5in favor of the Taborites and itlooked like a walk-away. But theOsteopathic mentor talked thingsover with his athletes in betweenhalves and when the Stilloniansappeared they were back in theirold form.

Davis and Hannon countedwith regularity, while Van Nesskept the defense on its toes. Thescore pulled closed and closserto the enemy's total, and it look-ed like the margin of victorymight be seached before thefinal whistle. However, the gunbarked with the Pirates twocounters in the rear, due toTabor's making good on threetechnical fouls, one of whichwas caused by the crowd.

After downing Omaha Univer-sity on a two-day trip, the Sut-sonites invaded Tabor collegeand secured ample revenge forthe reverse handed them in DesMoines, by taking the long endof a 38 to 24 score.

Davis played one of the mostremarkable games of his careerwhen he registered two pointson each of his first attemptsfrom the field. The rest of thescoring machine sensed that therangy forward was plenty "hot"so they fed him at every oppor-tunity. Harold, as usual, tookcare of advancing the ball downthe floor by means of his skillfuldribble.

The half ended 31-11 in favorof the visitors, and the last per-iod was only a pastime, in whichthe boys eased up to save theirstrength for the hard week-endwith Kirksville.

Mike Hannon was in excellentform, and besides passing well,sent three loops thru the ring.Smithat guard was the strongestman, defensively.

THE LOG BOOK



President ......-.- C. W. Johnson

Editor ........................ Don Baylor


Are You Just a WheelTapper?

A recent issue of "Inklings"carried the following story:

"A railroad once offered abonus to its employ who had thelongest creditable record. An oldman approached the president

"- ol-umpany, believing that,.-...- a good chance to get thebonus.

"How long have you workedfor the railroad?" asked thepresident.

"Thirty-five years.""And you never had a' com-

plaint lodged against you?""Never," was the confident

answer."What do you do?" he was

asked."Well, when the train pulls in

the station here, I go down thecars, and tap each wheel with a'hammer."

"What do you do that for?"asked the president.

Scratching his head the oldman said, "Damned if I know."

Tapping car-wheels is, perhaps,an unromantic job. But.like everyjob, it has a purpose. If the oldman had possessed imagination,he would have seen, in his work,the service he was rendering toothers. The safety of scores ofpassengers depended upon hisdoing that work well.

But he failed in his vision.Are you just "tapping wheels,"

or are you rendering real ser-vice? Does the practice of Os-teopathy mean just more moneyin your pockets, or have you thevision of service to humanity-the saving of lives and the alle-viation of human suffering?

Are You Interested InYour Work?

Did you ever stop to think howmuch time would be saved inthis world, if none had to betold any certain thing more thanonce?

Can you figure in your imagin-ation what the effect would beall around, if everybody was soalert and in earnest that theycould, and did, take everythingwhich they were told, or demon-strated to them, into their mindin such a way that the samething need never be said to themagain?

What a relief to the patient,painstaking teacher to havesuch a pupil.

What a relief to the child whois constantly nagged by parentor teacher to get results andget them quicker.

How much faster a workmancould get to the top of his line,if he gained the reputation fortaking and assimilating the ideasof the boss so that the one inter-view would be enough on anyone issue.

"Utopia!" you say, but it isquite within the possibilities ofthe human mind to make thiscondition universal.

Are you interested enough topay attention to the next com-mand or suggestion which is giv-en to you, so that you make thethought your own as soon as youhear it? Try it out today.

Keep Straight Ahead

Pay no attention to slanders orgossip mongers. Keep straighton in your course and let theirbackbitings die the death ofneglect. What is the use of lyingawake nights, brooding over theremark of some false friend, thethoughts of which run throughyour mind like forked lightning!What's the use of getting into aworry and fret over gossip thathas been set afloat to your dis-advantage, by some meddlesomebusybody who has more timethan character? These thingscan't possibly injure you, unlessindeed, you take notice of them,and in combating them, givethem character and standing.

If what is said about you istrue, set yourself right at once;if it is false, let it go for whatit will fetch. If a bee shouldsting you would you go to thehive and destroy it? Would nota thousand or more come uponyou and cause you more suffer-ing than you had already re-ceived.

We are generally losers in theend, if we stop to fight all thebackbitings and gossipings wemay hear from time to time.They are annoying, it is true, butnot dangerous, so long as we donot stop to expostulate andscold. Our characters are formedand sustained by ourselves andby our own actions and purposes,ideals and thoughts, not byothers.

If she wears white shoes, she'sblack.

If she wears black shoes, she'swhite.

If she wears cotton stockings,she's green.

If she looks young, she's old.If she looks old, she's young.If she looks back, follow her.

The fortunate circumstancesof our lives are generally found,at last, to be of our own making.-(Goldsmith).

Adversity is the trial of prin-ciple. Without it a man hardlyknows whether he is honest ornot.-(Fielding).

Doing something for someonewill bring you more happinessthan doing someone for some-thing.

Some people are happy onlywhen they are getting a lot ofenjoyment out of being miser-able.

Freshman "B" NotesIt is seldon that a group of

men, strangers to each other,immediately whip themselvesinto an efficient organization,and who continue to co-operateand harmonize for success, col-lectively as well as individually-and yet that is what the Fresh-man B class has accomplished.

At the first of the semester,we decided on a slogan of "NoFinal Exams," and we have al-ready put in motion a plan withwhich we hope to accomplishthis feat. The plan, in brief, isthis: one member of the classhas charge of one course. Thismember reads up on his subjectand one evening a week deliversa lecture to the rest of the class.By this method we hope to bringout and solve problems that wehaven't time to consider duringthe regular class period.

Thursday evening, March 3, thegang collected at the home ofFrancis Watson, who has chargeof the chemistry class. Strangeas it may seem, there was no"horseing around," and a goodnight's work was accomplished.After the lecture, Mrs. Watsongave us a very pleasant surpriseby serving cocoa and cake. Wasit time wasted? We'll tell theworld it wasn't!

Next Wednesday, Bill Bankeshas charge of the anatomy class,which will meet at the AtlasClub-and we'll all be there.

Already we have developed ahigh-powered class spirit and weare all out to win.

Faculty of Specialists(Continued from page 1)

lar member of the college fac-ulty. He has taught embryology,proctogoly, urology and with theenforced resignation of Dr. Tay-lor last May, became head of thesurgery department.

Urology, proctology and sur-gery are the specializations ofour dean in the professional ca-pacity, and he has made specificgraduate study in those lines atChicago and Cleveland. At thetime that Dr. Schwartz becamehead of surgery at Des MoinesStill College, he was formallymade chief surgeon at the DesMoines General Hospital, there-by receiving the title he hadearned thru, his work during therather prolonged period. of Dr.Taylor's illness. Later, in the re-organization of the hospital, Dr.Schwartz received signal rec-ognition in his election to thepresidency of the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital board.

But listing his titles-Chiefsurgeon and President of thehospital, head of the departmentof surgery at the college, im-posing as these distinctions are,does not express Dr. Schwartz'paramount fitness for deanship.It is his close relationship withthe students which wins there.His interest and his time hasalways been given to student ac-tivities. For seven years he wasfaculty manager of student ath-letics. They have never foundhim too busy to listen to theirtroubles, real and fancied, majorand minor, and are assured ofhis help. Added responsibilitieshave not crowded them out. Dr.Schwartz is still giving the stu-dents a great deal of his per-sonal time and energy. And theyin return acclaim him the per-fect dean.

Still Men Form NewClub

After several meetings stretch-ing out over a number of weeksof extemporaneous exercises, agroup of non-frat men desired tohave a banquet and form a "Non-Frat Club."

Wednesday night, March 9th,about 40 of these men gatheredat the Y. M. C. A. for their ban-quet. Dr. Johnson was the speak-er of the evening, speaking onthe subject of "Eugenics." Histalk was very interesting.

In addition to Dr. Johnson'slecture, the boys were entertain-ed by the Harlan quartet, MissHelen De'Ruls, soloist, HaroldBales, whistler, and Harry Ellen-wood and Miss Daphene Stevensof Drake, who gave several read-ings.

The officers for the new clubare as follows:

Fred Martin, president; FredNazarene, vice president; Wm.Hensch, secretary; Frank Wilson,treasurer.

The object of the club is topromote professional training,sociability, good fellowship andgeneral college spirit. Anyoneinterested in belonging may seethe president or secretary.

Future Doctor to ActBefore People Are Ill

Chicago, Feb. 14 (A. P.)-Thephysician of the future was pic-tured as a family adviser in hy-giene and preventive medicine,more than a man called in whendisease has stricken and a cureis needed, in an address here to-day before the annual congressof the American Medical associa-tion's council on medical educa-tion and hospitals.

Dr. Walter S. Leather, profes-sor of preventive medicine, Van-derbilt university, school of med-icine, Nashville, Tenn., was thespeaker. In a plea for more em-phasis in medical schools on theteaching of preventive medicinesand control of disease, Dr. Leath-er said:

"There has been remarkableimprovement of the standards ofmedical education, in laboratoryteaching, the personnel of facul-ties, hospital facilities for clin-ical instruction, and so forthduring the last twenty years.Insufficient emphasis, however,has been placed upon the teach-ing of prevention and contral ofdisease."

Anemia and Its DangersThe healing art owes a great

debt to the laboratory work andresearch of those who, in the notso distant past, discovered theenormous value of the blood asa carrier of oxygen to the tis-sues, an office which is performedby the hemoglobin contained inthe red blood corpuscles. Thecells must have oxygen in orderto carry on their function, andthe gravity of anemia, whichsimply means a decrease in thenumber of red blood corpusclesand the percentage of hemo-globin, therefore, cannot be eas-ily overestimated.

Modern research has also re-vealed the fact that anemia is amuch more prevalent conditionthan is generally supposed, andeven in cases where it is not theprimary cause of disease, an ane-mia frequently exists which mirnRbe corrected before theism can be restored to perfecthealth.

In convalescence from pneu-monia, la grippe, typhoid fever,and other acute diseases, anemiais always present, and is fre-quently the cause of most puz-zling relapses in regaining loststrength and weight.

In tuberculosis anemia is foundin every stage, from the slightblood abnormality existing inthe beginning of "The WhitePlague" to the profound cachexiadeveloped late in the disease.

The aged, especially in thespring season, show unmistakablythe effects of anemia. Feeble cir-culation, cold hands and feet, lossof strength and vigor, all indi-cate the necessity of a change inthe blood condition.

Expectant mothers and thosewho are nursing, are subjectedto an enormous strain by thedouble demand upon their organ-isms, and their blood is practic-ally always below par,

Rachitic children who, are notdeveloping properly, and whosefood does not assimilate, are in-variably anemic, and their bloodmust be improved if they areever to show healthy, normalgrowth.

Skin affections, such as boils,abscesses, and carbuncles, havefrequently a basic cause in ane-mia, and a return of the bloodto normal is needed to preventthe recurrence of these trouble-some maladies.

The tired, languid conditionknown among the laity as SpringFever, and experienced by somany people during the springseason, has anemia as a basiccause, as a microscopic examina-tion will readily show.

A microscopic blood examina-tion is absolute in determininganemic conditions. It is also apositive check on the progress ofyour treatment.

"What's the fuss in the schoolyard, sonny?" asked a gentlemanpassing a ward school.

"Why, the doctor's just beenaround examinin' us, an' one ofthe deficient boys is knockin' hellout of a perfect kid."

Above all, hold on when otherswould let loose.

PIRATES SPLIT WITH RAMS

Davis, Hannon, FriendAre Stars

The Pirate basket ball seasonreached its peak in the fourhard-fought battles with the ri-val Ram five from Kirksville,Missouri. Two games werc playedhere and a similar number at theother Osteopathic institution,each hoop squad winning itshome-floor contests.

In the first meeting at DesMoines the game was played onthe Catholic Academy surface,which is rather small for col-lege play, and both teams werehandicapped 'by these crampedconditions. However, CaptainFriend, scoring repeatedly withclose-in shots, led his warriors toa 28 to 20 victory.

During the first half the leadsee-sawed back and forth, andthe visitors seemed to have a dis-tinct advantage in their abilityto stop the scoring efforts of the'flashy Davis. The Rams' defensewas hard to penetrate, and theyfought desperately to smotherthe pirate dribblers.

Better shooting in the last tenminutes of play sewed up thecontest for Coach Sutton's menin one of the most aggressivebattles of the season. Van Ness,stellar guard from Lebanon,Ohio, brought the large crowdto its feet with a beautiful buck-et from back of the center ofthe floor. The big boy also didwell in defending the basket ter-ritory. Friend and Davis car-ried the brunt of the Purple andWhite attack.

August and Kenaga played bestfor the invaders.

Local Retail Merchants Blackball- -- Stillonian Advertising

Faculty of Specialists The advertising staff of the1 9 2 7 .t I l l n a r e e i e a ± oI A o1927 Stillonian received a 1u,UUUvolt jolt recently when the localRetail Merchants Associationemphatically refused to recom-mend the student publication tothe participating firms as an ad-vertising medium.

This rather serious blow, atthe very beginning of the cam-paign, somewhat dampened theardor of the embryo salesmen,but they staged a comeback withtrue "Still" spirit and are hittingthe ball for all they are worth.

However, in spite of the ratherempirical ruling of Mr. Nielsen,the local head of the association,a few of the more loyal support-ers of the college among thebusiness firms of the city have

"S" Club Elects 1927-28Leaders

At a recent meeting or the "S"Club, captains were elected forthe 1927 Pirate football and bas-ketball teams.

G. O. "Red" Smith was unani-mously chosen to lead the Purpleand White basket tossers throughthe '27-'28 schedule, which, ac-cording to Coach Sutton, will bethe hardest on record. However,as a nucleus, Captain Smith willhave such seasoned veterans asHarold Davis, who has won astate-wide reputation as a highscorer, Red Lang from the fresh-man squad, also "Sure-shot" Cas-sis, another yearling, from Mari-etta, and Dale Weldon. Withthis organization to start withand with the men who will comeup from the freshman team, thePirates should make even a bet-ter record next season than theyhave in the season just closed.

The squad is to be congratulat-ed upon having a leader of thecaliber of Smith. A fast, rangyplayer who is as expert on thedefense as on the offense and whohas an excellent eye when itcomes to looping the ball for thecounters.

The leadership of the Pirateson the gridiron has been divid-ed between Bobby Ross, veteranend, and Johnny Jones, one of ourstellar guards. Both men meritthe honor and confidence be-stowed upon them by their team-mates, having amply demonstrat-ed their abilities during the pastthree seasons.

Jones has proved one of the.most dependable men Coach Sut-ton has ever developed for theguard position. On the offense,he always opens the hole for thebacks to drive their wagonthrough, and on the opposite typeuof play it was the rare occasion-when the opponents were suc-cessful in piercing Johnny's sideof the line.

Ross was equally adept at theart of defense. When it came tosifting through enemy interfer-ence to nail the runner before hereached the line of scrimmage,Bobby was There with a capital"T". On the offense, his longsuit was "turning in" the oppos-ing tackle in such a manner thatthe backs would have little or:no difficulty in invading the en-emy territory as far as the sec-ondary defense at least.

The two captains are confront-ed with a serious problem in nextyear's vorsity, due to the numberof first string men that will belost by graduation this spring.However, banking upon the tra-ditional "Still Spirit," Coach Sut-ton has already arranged for nextfall, one of the toughest sched-ules on record.

It takes courage to be afraidto do wrong.

Better be short of cash than ofcharacter.

Live and help live-no longer"live and let live."

The exchange of health forwealth is a poor bargain.

IOTA TAU SIGMA"Oh, didn't it rain; oh, didn't

it pour?" but regardless of that,Brother Morrow was all wet.

Dr. Johnson gave the boys avery instructive talk on start-ing of a practice after gradua-tion. His advice was well re-ceived and the chapter wants tothank Dr. Johnson.

On the evening of March 18ththe Chapter House was the sceneof one of the best dances evergiven at the house. Dr. and Mrs.Halladay, faculty chaperons, Dr.Green and Dr. Cash of the DesMoines General Hospital, wereguests.

Brother "Hap" Nowlin wasconfined, temporarily, but is onhis feet again.

Brother Sluss is now managingthe "Health Farm."

"Pug" Wigal thinks that it isstill "time out."

Dr. "Enormous" Potter is back.again. He is going to take a P. G.in surgery.

Some of the boys that are mu-sically inclined, are now organiz-ing the "Bath-room Quartette."

Brother Cudden, the big butterand egg man, reports a drop inhe price of eggs.

It looks like Brother Belf losthis equilibrium, for he sure didfall hard.

ATLAS CLUB NOTESThe following Brothers have

received appointments to theDetroit Osteopathic Hospital: -Campbell Ward, Howard Brown,and Ross Richardson. Word hasalso been received that Bro. Dr.Robt. Lustig of Grand Rapids,Mich., has also been appointed.

Dr. Woods very graciously gaveus of his time for practical work,Monday evening, March 14. Al-ways glad to have you with us,Doctor.

Ross King was a guest at thehouse for dinner one evening lastweek, after which he gave theboys some very valuable informa-tion.

Ralph Taylor is recoveringrapidly from his extensive tourdue to the fact, his night callsare keeping him out in the open.

Brother Harry Johnson sitshopes for the next "Y" dance.

Brother McKeon seems to havequite an affinity for keys, "thesedays."

Brother Harvey is mightystrong for the ORIGINAL carsbut Brothers Smith and Nicholson prefer the open job.

We wish to make the followingcorrection in the last issue ofThe Log Book. Brother Reed'sname is E. Hoyt and not EarHoyt, DRUMMER.

Brother Hydeman spent theweek-end in Perry, as the guestof Brother Gann. Says Hydeman,"that's part of my education."

Pledge Bankes and BrotherMussleman gave the old Maxi-meter a thrill, each scoring 95out of a possible 100, by defeat-ing the Outside Boys-none ofthem making a single point.Otherwise the readings show novariations over last week.

Brother Doyle has his summerhome almost furnished.

Pirates Split With Rams


took the defensive honors forStill.

The tables were completelyturned on the locals when theyattempted to repeat their twovictories in the little Missouritown. The fighting spirit of theRams on their home floor and theinspiration of their enthusiasticfollowers was a little too muchfor the Iowa five, and they fellby the closest of margins in eachgame.

Kirksville registered a 29-27victory over the Suttonites in thefirst night's play only after themost desperate of battles hadbeen fought through an overtimeperiod. The regular duration ofplay ended in a 25-all deadlock.

In the extra session the Pur-ple and White counted the firstgoal, 'but their lead was short-lived, and the Rams tied it upalmost immediately. Then in thelast half minute of furious bat-tling the winning bucket wentthrough for Kirksville.

The first half was marked bythe loose basket work of the in-vaders, who passed well but couldnot make their efforts count.The score was 15-12 at the breath-ing spell.

The whole second half was anip-and-tuck affair to the finalgun. Davis was closely watchedbut managed to get away on sev-eral occasions to loop themthrough. Cassis and Hannon alsostarred.

There was no stopping theRams on the second night's play,and they again nosed our boys outby the close score of 35-32. Over-confidence on the part of the Pi-rates played an important rolein their downfall. After beingon even terms during the inter-missio.n, the speedy Davis hit hisstride and sent his mates into a29-17 lead which looked like suf-ficient advantage to insure vic-tory.

However the Buccaneers madethe fatal mistake of easing up intheir play and attempting the"stall" which resulted in the op-ponents coming down and tak-ing the ball for several baskets.Van Ness, the sturdy backguard, was removed from thefray on personals, and this alsotended to weaken the crumblingdefense.

The count finally mounted to31 all, and here the Rams camethrough with two buckets to theStillonians' one for the winningmargin.

Davis, Hannon and Friend werethe best for the Purple andWhite, while Bigsby and Kenagaplayed brilliantly for the hometeam...

Sigma Sigma Phi GetsOfficial Recognition

As a result of two years' hardand consistent work, Sigma Sig-ma Phi has received the officialrecognition and endorsement ofthe American Osteopathic Asso-riation.

Excerpts from the letter ofDr. Ray B. Gilmour, President ofthe A. 0. A., follow:

"I have carefully consideredthe sample of your constitutionpent me some time ago and amnow ready to report. officially,the findings of our committee onthat subject.

"I am glad to inform you thatthe constitution covers, in all re-spects, the requirements that thecommittee considered best forsuch a fraternity as yours, andthat we take pleasure in assuringyou that you have the endorse-ment of the American Osteopath-Ie Association.

"We expect, of course, that thefraternity will observe the spiritof the endorsement, in that weconceive this fraternity to be anhonorary fraternity designed toproperly recognize meritoriouseducational achievements and un-usual service to the profession.

"I can see that this fraternitycan be a valuable aid to the at-tainment of a higher standard ofosteopathic education, and I urgeyou that every endeavor be madeto maintain such a standard.

"With my regards and bestwishes for the continued successof the fraternity, I am,

Yours truly,Signed R. B. GILMOUR."

Since the organization has beerincorporated, the goal they havebeen striving for has been thisofficial endorsement. Active worl-will now be inaugurated towardsthe installation of subordinatechapters in the other osteopathiccolleges.

Travelogues, Movies andMusic Feature Recent

Assemblies

The last three of our weeklyget-togethers have been as di-versified in nature as could bewished. Only two things were incommon at all three of the ses-sions. They were the excellentbrand of harmonious noise pro-duced by our own orchestra andthe highly improved attitude ofthe student body. No more isthe doorway crowded and therear wall supported by. anxiousstudes. (Anxious to get out, theentertainer thinks.)

Rev. Mr. Lincoln of this citygave an excellent description ofa trip he once took throughEgypt. The construction marvelsof that ancient land were broughthome to us in a manner both in-teresting and instructive. Hismethod of address held the at-tention of his listeners, and allregretted the sounding of theclosing gong. We sincerely hopethat the Rev. Mr. Lincoln willbe able to return soon and tellus more about his travels.

The following week we weretreated to an educational filmproduced by the Standard Oil Co.One reel was confined to footconditions and their correction-another to exercise, and thethird to elimination. The graph-ic presentation of the latter reelwas exceptionally fine, andbrought home the physiology ofpassage of material through thealimentary tract to all classes.It was exceptionally interesting.Dr. Spring was responsible forthe film being shown.

Very appropriate at this partic-ular time in world events wasthe address the following Fridayon the subject of the "Physician'sLife in China." Having just re-turned from that turbulent coun-try, the speaker was well quali-

e fied to talk on the above subject..Various problems confrontingthe medical missionary in Chinaand his solution of the difficultyproved highly interesting to thestudents. The present rumpuswas touched upon, and the atti-

t tude of the native and the for-Z eigner were unfolded in a man-, ner that is not gleaned from the

daily newspaper reports on thequestion.

The diversity of the programsthat have been given at theseweekly meetings is responsible

t for the interest the student bodJr have in the events. The orches

tra in the brief time they havebeen organized have won thei:

Y place in the esteem of the gange They deserve a vote of thank

for their efforts to "keep the balrolling."

Dissection Room ScrapsThe spring frolic in the dissec-tion laboratory has begun, and isprogressing nicely under the abledirection of Dr. Halladay. Thescarcity of material necessitatedthe delay in starting the section,and now on the warm balmyspring days the afternoon get-together is an event looked for-ward to with great relish(?)

As the entire twenty-seven stu-dents are fully aware of the im-portant place held by "organiza-tion" in the success of any ven-ture, the section is already wellarranged. "Jo" Bowman has beenunanimously elected to the highand exalted position of "Queenof the Cut-ups," and rules herstrong domain from the loftyrealms of a three-foot stool.Stanley Evans has been desig-nated as "Chief Carrier of thePlug," and Edgar HIubbell wasofficially appointed as guardianof the outer gate. Pres Howeand Ray Houghton are runningan even race for first honors asthe fastest cutter, both havinglost so many cartons of cigar-ettes to "Virge" that he has giv-en up all hope of ever gettingthem, as they would be so manyhe would never live to smoke allof them.

Harry MacNaughton 'has dis-closed a very interesting andstartling fact. It has been here-tofore taken for granted thatMac was all Scotch, but fromwatching his activity and tech-nic in removing a scalp, it is evi-dent that there is some mistakein genealogy. "He's no moreScotch than I am," quoth RedSmith. "He's full-blooded In-dian, aren't you, Geronimo?"Whereupon Mac broke down andconfessed.

Table No. 3 is the seat of manyfierce and heated arguments be-tween Evans, Lawyer, Hubbell,and Johnny Jones, with H. H.Kramer acting as referee. Nocasualties to report as yet.

The ancient custom of givingall visitors a souvenir of the oc-casion is still in vogue, as sev-

-eral of the unsuspecting frosh-have discovered.

Inter-Frat BaseballSeason Opens

The young Babe Ruths of Os-teopathy have successfully com-pleted a strenuous season of in-tensive training, most of whichhas been done under the watch-ful eye of the various fraternitymentors. Each leader has pro-nounced his men ready for theopening battle, and if the OldSunshine supply holds out, somelively tussels will be staged

"Tennessee" Lashlee, besidesbeing in his familiar home-runform, will guide the destinies ofthe nine from Phi Sigma Gam-ma. Frank Dornbush, former col-lege star and championship highschool coach, has taken over theleins of the Atlas tossers anddeveloped them into a speedymachine. Havis, whose backstop-ping was a feature last year, hascharge of the Iota Tau Sigmasquad and has hopes for theirfirst flag. Halladay has beenworking faithfully with theBarbs and hopes to repeat lastyear's victorious march.

The schedule is as follows:-Barbs vs Atlas; I.T.S. vs P.S.G.;Barbs vs I.T.S.; Atlas vs P.S.G.Barbs vs P.S.G.; Atlas vs I.T.S.

This is the order of the firstround and the games will beplayed on Mondays, Wednesdaysand Fridays, until each team hasplayed every other one twice.The contests will be of five in-nings duration and begin at 3:45p. m. promptly, at the Still Bowl.

The league is under the super-vision of Coach Frank Suttonand it is expected that he willannounce capable umpires, ifthey can be found, prior to theopening game. He states thatthe supply of men is very lim-ited.

Faculty Member Speaksat Eastern Convention

The Eastern Osteopathic Con-vention was extremely fortunatein being able to secure Dr. H. V.Halladay, of our Faculty of Spe-cialists, as one of the principalspeakers for their program. Theconvention was held at the Wal-dorf-Astoria, in New York City,and enjoyed a good attendance.

Dr. Halladay's subject was:-"The Involuntary Nervous Sys-tem'' and was very well received.

Home Talent AssemblyOne of the best assembly pro-

grams of the year was given re-cently under the supervision ofMrs. Z. A. Innes, director of la-boratories. The entire personellof the program was taken fromthe student body and aptly dem-onstrated the wealth and vari-ance of material and talent thatis existant in our midst.

As per usual, the morningopened with a few hot numbersfrom the orchestra, which is rap-idly becoming one of the out-standing features of our Fridaymeetings.

The Frosh Spring HopOur promising Frosh class

startled Still College in generalby proving to the upperclassmenthat they were capable, indeed,of staging a social function, atwhich the diversion was a testof the ability of each one presentto strut the light fantastic inthe latest style. Time, accordingto those present, went fasterthan free lunches, and the clos-ing hour arrived only too soon.The affair was chaperoned byCoach and Mrs. Sutton, and MissJohnson. The music was fur-nished by that peppy orchestraSteininger's Happy Five.

The Frosh were pleased by thesuccess of their initial danceand rumor has it that there maybe another before long.

A.O.A. Secretary SpeaksHere

On Tuesday, April 5, a specialassembly was called for the re-ception of Dr. C. J. Gaddis, ofChicago, Secretary of the A.O.A.

He gave us a very interestingand instructive talk, featuringthe various phases of the Osteo-pathic profession. Having an in-spiring personality, and a widerange of professional experience,Dr. Gaddis left us many thingsto talk about.

His visit at this time was agood-will mission to the school,as well as a location for the 1928Convention.

In the evening a banquet wasgiven in his honor at the YounkerTearoom, and all who attendedwere fortunate, in that theyheard another very able address.

Golfer's ActiveStruggling along the narrow

fairways and tricky bunkers ofWaveland Country Club's diffi-cult course, the eight 'survivinggolfers of first round competitionfor the Halladay Trophy, battledtheir way to impressive victories,which in practically every casewere won by superior ability toavoid the hazzards.

The feature match was thatstaged between Ab Graham, for-mer captain and powerful line-man of Stillonian 'football, andthe diminutive Phil Bryson. Bothmen had on their best knickersand showed about equal abilityin digging the rough, up to thefinal holes. However, the superiorcondition of Bryson gave himthe margin of victory when Abweakened and took an abnormalnumber of "licks" from the lasttee.

The other men to come throughwith wins, were Trimble, DuBois,Lindbloom, Hydeman, Maxfield,Wadkins and J. P. Jones.

Those who claim to be on theinside are confident that the sec-ond round event between Hyde-man and Maxfield will go a longway toward pointing out the firstPirate Golf Champion.

Lindbloom, a big mid-ironman from Nevada, has also beengiven an outside chance with therest of the darkhorses.

various features that alwaysmark this date in red, such asthe championship game in thebaseball league, the InterclassTrack Meet and the evening wind-up-the Stillonian Day Ball.

Last year's day was a successfrom start to finish and the com-mittee in charge this year arepromising even a more lavishoccasIon.


Dr. E. E. SteffenDefinitely, year by year, and

almost month by month, as re-search in the physiological ther-aputic science progresses, bio-chemistry is taking its place asthe foundation of all naturalsciences. And step by step, asthe truths are revetled in theworld's laboratories, the studentsof Des Moines Still College re-ceive them thru the lecturesgiven by Dr. E. E. Steffen.

With a mind that delights incutting its way clearly thru amaze of detail, Dr. Steffen, morethan any other on the staff, isrecognizing the rich value offundemental science to a prac-ticing physician. His field ofpathology offers an especiallyfortunate opportunity to bringbio-chemistry in its normal andabnormal workings to the stu-dents, and day by day Dr. Stef-fen is answering the challengein a scholarly manner.

When recalled to his profes-sional Alma Mater in 1918, asPathologist, Dr. E. E. Steffenwas remembered as a student ofthe highest caliber. When hehad entered Still College sometwelve years previous, he hadcompleted three years attend-ance at the University of Ne-braska. During his osteopathiccourse he carried, in addition,.those subjects required to com--plete a Bachelor of Arts degree,.which was granted him fromHighland Park University, nowknown as Des Moines University,.the same spring he received his;D. 0. Following the completion,of his course, Dr. Steffen settled'in Beatrice, Nebraska, where he"carried on a successful practiceand continued in diligent re-search reading along the linesof his specializiation, pathologyand bio-chemistry.

THE LOG BOOK

Don't Blame It All On"Glands"

If you are gloomy or grouchy,depressed or irritable, inclined tobe disgusted with life, somethingis wrong, of course, but don'tblame it all on "glands." "Thegland is innocent," three hun-dred osteopaths are told by Dr.S. V. Halladay of Des Moines atthe Waldorf-Astoria. "All thetrouble comes from too stiff abackbone."'

Now The Eagle holds no brieffor osteopathy. But here we areconvinced the cult is half right.The glands and science has a lotto find out about them havebeen convenient scapegoats. Itis quite likely that the backboneis the guilty party.

But why say it should be in-dicted for being too stiff? Inthis age of mechanization the in-dividual backbone is more oftendeficient in stiffness than other-wise. And most unhappiness,mrct irritability springs from alack of stiffness. This carrieswith it an exaggerated fear ofour neighbors' opinions, a swelledanxiety to do and say and thinkwhat is conventional and will notarouse criticism. The stiff-backedman pursues his own path withearnest purpose and energy. Hehas no time for gloomy brood-ings, no time for grouches, andhe is happy.

We are not denying that excep-tions may be found. Once in awhile we meet the fellow whosebackbone is too stiff. He is com-monly an obsessed inventor or anequally obsessed civic reformer.He needs special treatment. Buthe should always be noted as anexception. The main thing to beremembered is that the mysteri-ous glands need not be consid-ered and that backbone-normalityis greatly to be desired. Brook-lyn Eagle, April 9.

Sleeping in ClassIt has been truthfully said

that in the spring a young man'sfancy lightly turns to thoughtsof love. This may be true forsome of the students at StillCollege, but the casual observerwill note, in casting his scanningeye about, that in others it hasturned to the arms of Morpheus.

It is, we might say, almost dis-graceful to see a number of stu-dents soundly sleeping in everyclass room you enter. They seemto arouse themselves from theirearthly slumbers just long enoughto pass into the next class. Assoon as they are comfortablyseated, they again pass out, onlyto be awakened by the next bell,ignorant of anything instructivethat has been given during theperiod.

This is the type of studentthat condemns the school, andthe profession, when, after a fewyears in the field, he is obligedto sell his practice for reasonsof his health. When the truth isknown, it is. because of his ownignorance.

A Puzzle - Can YouFigure It Out

Figuring the tuition, expenses,and loss of earning capacity forthe average man, it is'found thatthe cost of attending college ismore than $2.00 per hour.

Now it would be interesting toknow 'why some men -pay $2.00per hour just to sleep in classes,always be a little late for any--thing and everything, .nd to dis-turb those that are trying to getsomething for their money.

If you are in a profession, inheaven's name work for it! If itpays you wages that supply youyour bread and butter, work forit-speak well of it, think well.of it, and by it-and boost theinstitution that represents it. If-you are a professional man, work:for your profession. Do not work-for it part of the time, and the-rest of the time against it. Give-undivided service, or none.

Keep the atmosphere of your-school charged with the master-sentiments of love, hope and-duty. Keep out fear and selfish--ness.

He who bears in mind what-man is, will never be troubled at-anything which happens.

The Doctor in CourtMr. R. B. Newcomb, a Cleve.

land attorney, sums up what theattitude of the physician shouldbe in court procedure, as follows:

"First: No doctor should enterthe courtroom as a professionalwitness unless he leaves behindall prejudice and bias and takesthe stand with a judicial mind torender evenhanded justice toboth sides, in exactly the sameway he would do if the trialjudge had called him to court totestify.

"Second: The doctor in courtshould avoid technical medicalterms as far as possible, and,when using them, should explainto the jury in simple languagewhat they mean. Otherwise, thevalue of his testimony is almostwholly lost.

"Third: No doctor should becalled to court to give his timefrom his practice without the as-surance from the lawyer callinghim that he will be paid for thetime that he gives from his prac-tice, that amount which he wouldhave received had he remainedat his office or in his own pro-fessional work.

"Fouth: The doctor in court isable to contribute very substan-tially on the administration ofjutsice; and when his demeanoris fair and just, he need have nofear whatever that the lawyerwho cross-examines will under-take to trap him or humiliatehim in any way. It would injurethe lawyer's case to the jury farmore than it could possibly helphim.

"Fifth: If more doctors wouldbe more willing to attend courtand give testimony, the expertmedical service would not fallinto so few hands as at present.

"And last, but not least: Thedoctor should always keep inmind that his appearance on thestand makes him the represent-ative of a high and noble callingand it befits him to maintainthat standard throughout his tes-timony.

Osteopathy Asks ForYour Support

A campaign is on to raise $400,-000.00 by public subscription foran Osteopathic hospital and nurs-es' home in Des Moines. It willbe a successor to the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital at 12th and DesMoines streets.

We have no doubt that someJournal readers will subscribe tothis worthy enterprise. Many ofthem have learned in personalexperience of the merits of oste-opathy as a science of healing.Many by personal contact havecome to admire osteopathic phy-sicians, and, withal, to esteemhighly the science of osteopathyand its practical application.

The present osteopathic hospi-tal in Des Moines has been out-grown as the science has in-creased in public favor. The newinstitution is necessary for theincreased usefulness of oste-opathy.

It is necessary that osteopathyhave its own hospitals. That ex-traordinary compound of preju-dices, dogmatic rules, and unkindnarrowness, called "medical eth-ics," prohibits an osteopathicphysician from taking his pa-tients to medical institutions.(The "ethics" apparently compelsthe patient, needful of hospitalattention, to die or to recant.)

The osteopathic hospital in DesMoines will be open wide andcordially to medical men.

The new building will includea nurses' training school. This,too, is a necessity, as medicaltraining schools for nurses ap-parently inculcate the supersti-tion that all the healing sciencein the world is embraced withinthe medical profession and thatany who are on the outside areand should be treated as heretics.

The course of study for osteo-pathic physicians is four years.It runs parallel to that given bygrade "A" medical colleges, withthe exception that the principlesof osteopathy are substituted formateria medica.

Let no reader imagine the Jour-nal editor is an enemy of themedical profession. We are not.We esteem very highly individ-ual members of that profession,and we are not unmindful of norungrateful for the . splendidachievements of medicine andsurgery by medical men. Ourpoint is that the time has nowarrived when the medical profes-sion is belittling itself to con-tinue the preposterous claim thatit has a monopoly of the wisdomof healing. And it is high timethat the unkind and disgraceful-ly narrow attitude of medicalmen to other doctors should beexchanged for an attitude morecharitable and more in conform-ity with the theory that a medi-cal man is an educated man.

Let some of the most intellec-tual and most Christian of themedical men send contributionsto the new osteopathic hospitalWho will be the first M. D. t(come forward?-The DecoralJournal, Decorah, Iowa.

We have had patients come infor examination saying: "My doc-tor says I am anaemic." But theblood examination showed a goodhaemoglobin and red count. Doyou think she was anaemic orjust one with a fair complexion?A complete blood examinationconsisting of the blood count,haemoglobin, erythrocyte, leu-cocyte, differential and a Wasser-mann should be a part of theroutine examination. We all knowof the necessity of making ablood count to differentiate thetype and degree of infection withpus production; also to different-iate between typhoid, or T. B. ofintestines, T. B., and pneumoniaor lung abcess. But what I wantto call your attention to, is thenecessity of the routine blood ex-amination of all cases for exami-nation. Just two cases for illus-tration of my point:

Man past middle age with sev-ere pain in one knee wants treat-

ment for relief of pain. The doc-tor made a blood count andfound a marked decrease in thered blood blood count and haemo-globin. His first thought was thatthere was more wrong.than justthe knee, so proceeded to makefurther investigation, and founda prostatic carcinoma that wasreferring all of the symptoms tothe knee and was also producingthe marked blood changes.

A woman living in Des Moineshad quite an irregular high fe-ver. A blood count showed amarked increase of eosinophilesand pigmentation of the cells.further careful examination re-vealed malarial plasmodism.Then the further history provedthat the patient had been in amalarial zone and had developedmalaria which was late in show-ing up.

The true malignancies of theblood forming organs are not sofrequent but you do not care tomiss a diagnosis in a beginningor fairly well advanced case.

Important Points inDiagnosis

(D. E. Hannan, D. O.)Best results in Actinic Ray

Therapy are obtained only afterthoroughly heating the skin sur-face first.

Routine procedure in diagnosisshould always invoke the use ofX-Ray for differential betweenacute appendicitis and renal andureteral calculi.

A rapidly growing tumor inthe kidney region in a youngchild is higly suspicious of sar-coma. Operation to be successfulmust follow early diagnosis.

Mortality from organic heartdisease, cerebral hemorrhage, andchronic nephritis is low when thetemperature is high and highwhen it is low. Persons who areexposed to the effects of theseconditions should be warned ofthe danger attendant to exposurein cold weather.

Be careful to consider the pos-sibility of tuberculosis in an ap-parently simple impetigenouslesion of more than threemonths' standing about the face.

Pain and temperature are notalways criteria of the conditionin mastoiditis. Do not wait tosee the ear standing out fromthe head and a big boggy massbehind the ear. A high leucocy-tosis, bacteremia, and twitchingof the facial muscles (due toirritation of the seventh nerve),are indications for prompt mas-toidectomy. It is better to open amastoid unnecessarily than towait too long.

In the vomiting of pregnancy,as in hysteria, it is better assoon as the emesis is controlledto feed the patient solid food.

The sting of the tarantula hasbeen proved upon scientific in-vestigation to be little or noworse than a bee sting.

If the blood pressure is above200, always investigate the kid-neys thoroughly. The conditionis probably due to nephroscler-osis.

In making a diagnosis betweentuberculosis and hyperthyroid-ism, remember that tubercularpatients generally have a poorappetite, and the thyroid patientan exceptionally good one.

Neglect to make use of the X-rays in the examination of thechest in patients complaining ofpain in that region has been thecause of failure to recognize sev-eral cases of aortic aneurism.When so simple a method of cor-rect diagnosis exists it is sad toknow so many cases of this con-dition still await discovery inthe post-mortem room. - (IowaBulletin.)

ATLAS CLUB WINSSEA

II

A fine group of wlould-be FrankMerriwells blossomed forth tofeature the opening contest inthe Osteopathic Baseball League,when the Atlas nine barely nosedout the Barbs by a 3 to 2 score.Each team produced its share ofheroes, but the Fraternity squadhad a little the better of theargument, when two Babe Ruthscame to the front with circuitdrives that drove in the neces-sary tallies.

The Non-Frat boys started outin the first inning and placedtwo of their men on the pathsbefore Dornbush could get suf-ficiently warmed up to check thedrive. A shoestring catch by left-fielder Knowlton ended the rally.

In the second frame the Barbscalled on their heavy artilleryand "Bunk" Plude drove deep tothe weeds in right field, sendingin a runner ahead of him andmaking the circuit complete -when the ball was lost. However,Captain Dornbush lead his menin a successful counter attackduring their time at bat in thisinning. Parks, leading off, drewa pass. "Dorny" then clouted thefirst pitch far over the centerfield fence, for the longest driveever seen in the Still Bowl. Bothmen tagged the plate and thescore was tied.

The next two innings failed tobreak the deadlock, as bothJohnson and Dornbush werebreezing them past opposing bat-ters with little difficulty. In theBarbs half of the last inning,they threw a real scare into theFraternity team by placing menon second and third with nonedown. But Nicholson was on histoes at third to make a beautifulcatch of Cassis' short fly, anddouble the man going home,thereby pulling his mates out ofa tight hole.

Two were out in the Atlas halfof the fifth, when "Mighty Casey"Damm strode to the plate andslammed a screaming two-baggerover the right fielder' head. Thethrow from the outfield was wideand went into a nearby ditch,allowing the speedy Atlas short-stop to go all the way home withthe winning run.

The Barbs made five hits to(Continued on page 2)

Extensive plans are being madefor the observance of this annualevent, that will outdo previousprograms. The various trackteams are "in training" for theInterclass Field Meet, which isone of the feature events of theafternoon. The Faculty BaseballNine, which does annual battlewith the winners of the SigmaSigma Phi cup, are also hard atwork grooming a couple of DarkHorses for the afternoon's fray.Dr. A. B. Taylor will undoubtedlyoccupy the mound for the peda-gogues.

LINDBLOOM SLATEDFOR GOLF FINALS

At the culmination of the sec-ond round of play for the Halla-day Golf Trophy on the WavelandCountry club's difficult course,only the cream and sugar of Stil-lonian followers of the old Scotchgame were left. The driving ofthe winners was a deciding fac-tor, while each of the four semi-finalists showed rare form on thegreens.

Trimble and Lindbloom tookthe honors in the upper bracket,the former by eliminating Du-Bois 2 up, the latter by turningin a victory over Phil Bryson, 3and 2. Trimble fought hard allthe way to overcome a tendencyto keep in the rough, but finallyhit 'his stride on the final holes.Although Lindbloom was erraticwith the irons, his long driveswere too big a handicap for thesteady Bryson to overcome.

In the lower half of the brac-ket, Maxfield forfeited to Hyde-man, and Wadkins defeated"Johnnie" Walker.

For ten years, Dr. Robert B.Bachman has been the obstetricsspecialist of the Des Moines StillCollege staff. Consistently andpersistently the work in thisfield, which is so signally of im-portance to the Osteopathic phy-sician, has developed and grownunder his direction. The obstet-rical clinic of Still College hasranged from 100 to 180 cases ayear, and is the wonder and envyof many of the sister schools ofour science. This has been underthe personal direction of Dr.Bachman during the full tenyears of his membership on thefaculty. It represents the cul-mination of years of interest anddevotion to one science, and isone of the features of attain-ment to which the school maypoint with just pride.

Following two years of liberalarts work in Des Moines College,Robert Bachman entered DesMoines Still at a time when hisfather, himself a graduate of theschool, was a member of the fac-ulty. Later when Dr. Robertjoined the staff, his sister, Irene,was on the class role. Aftergraduation, Dr. Robert had beenin general practice with hisfather in Des Moines for just oneyear, when his marked success inthe line of his specialty justifiedthe Still College board in makinghim a member of their instruct-ing staff. Altho technique for 41/2years and general clinic for 21/years have been included in hisschedule, it is as school obstet-rician that Dr. Bachman has beenknown since his advent to thefaculty. He has brought to hisclasses during this time, resultsfrom the extensive experiencethe ten years of practice haveoffered, and the latest work thatobstetrical literature can give.For Dr. Bachman owns one ofthe most complete obstetrical'libraries in this part of theQcountry.

That his specialization is ap-preciated outside the confines ofthe school is attested by the pub-lic appearance he is being calledupon to make continually. With-in the next few weeks he willappear as a speaker on obstetricsand gynecology at the CentralStates Osteopathic Convention atWichita, Kansas. This conventionis to be followed by a week ofpost graduate work, at which Dr.Baghman is to be the lecturer onobstetrics. He has also been se-cured to represent his specialtyon the program of the NationalOsteopathic Convention at Den-ver, Colorado.

"We must admit, however, thatthe production of hyperemiadoes not entirely explain thebenefit obtained by counter-irri-tation.

To obtainsuch effects it is necessary thatthe application be made overcertain particular areas, which inevery case are found to have in-nervational relation with the af-fected part by being suppliedfrom the same segment of thecentral nervous system. In con-sequence, deep irritation oftenproduces an increased irritabilityof superficial nerve endings;sometimes it benumbs them, sothat a very hot application mayfeel too hot elsewhere while justcomfortable over the area con-nected by segmental innervationwith the seat of disease. In thesame manner, a severe irritationin the superficial expansion of aspinal cord segment may lessenthe irritability of the deep part,or an analgesic application mayrelieve a deep pain.

Boob Legislation

t During the early days of thei session a bill was introduced on

behalf of the Osteopaths of thestate, granting to certain mem-bers of that fraternity the rightto practice surgery. The bill pro-vided that only such membersof that fraternity as could provetheir fitness were to be accordedthis privilege, and did not applyto all those who are practicingat this time.

The Osteopathic schools aregraduating some of the finestsurgeons in the land, and thereally best surgeons of the "reg-ular" schools are not opposed totheir practicing, but the rankand file are an overwhelming ma-jority in the medical associationand strenuously oppose anythingand everything outside the con-fines of their narrow creed.

In Idaho an Osteopath may nottake a -patient to a hospital, andthe nurse who cares for suchpatient is blacklisted by the reg-ulars. This arbitrary bigotry notonly affects the Osteopathic prac-titioner, but says to the peopleof the state, "You shall not havewhat you want; you'll take whatwe give you, or nothing!"

How long will the people ofIdaho tolerate such dictation?This is one of a very few stateswhich have not yet officiallyrecognized Osteopathic surgery.

The summary action of thelegislature in denying a hearingon this measure approaches dan-gerously near the line of whatmay be termed "boob" legisla-tion, but is in keeping with thatotherwise intelligent class ofpeople who take pills and phy-sics, instead of "throwing themto the dogs", and those Otherswho wear copper rings and hangbags of asafetida about theirnecks.-(Editorial in Owybee Av-alanche, May 11, 1927.)

A graduate from this school,she has practiced in Des Moinesfor fourteen years and has fortwelve years been a member ofits faculty. Altho dietetics andhygiene have appeared on herschedule, pediatrics and women'sdiseases are her specialization,and the children's clinic is underher supervision.

In addition to time and energyexpended upon the school andgeneral practice, Dr. Mary Gol-den is outstanding in a group ofosteopathic women who are ac-tive in civic and organizationenterprises. She was signallyhonored this year in being elec-ted to the Chairmanship of theWomen's Chamber of Commerce,which honor came as a climax toher many and varied activities.During the war Dr. Golden warsactive with the local chapter ofthe American Red Cross; foryears she has been a tirelessworker in various phases of theY. W. C. A. projects. She is apast president ofthe Iowa Chap-ter of the Osteopathic Women'sNational Association and is atpresent a most successful chair-man for their committee on pro-gram arrangement. Yearly callsfor her health talks before var-ious organizations are becomingmore numerous, and she has sev-eral times this spring appearedin vocational conferences, speak-ing in behalf of osteopathy. Onlyrecently, she addressed a groupof over .100 girls at the WoodrowWilson high school, upon her pro-fession. And a short time latter,presented the movie, "Science ofLife," at one of the largestchurches in the city, underthe auspices of its EducationalCouncil. The city chapters ofP. T. A. and several women's or-ganizations, are others who haverecognized Dr. Golden's abilityto present her important messageand called upon her for it.

Upon Friday, May 13, underthe direction of Dr. Golden, StillCollege was honored at the noonmeeting of the Chamber of Com-merce, where Mr. Sherman C.Kingsley, of Philadelphia, Na-tional Vice President of the Na-tional Conference of Social Work-ers, was the chief speaker. Dr.Mary Golden presided at themeeting, members of the StillCollege student body appearedupon the musical program, andthe faculty and trustees of theschool were given seats at atable of honor.

HYDEMAN WINSGOLF TOURNEY

'The honor of winning the firstHalladay Golf Trophy went toMillard Hydeman, youthful Froshafter he had decisively conqueredthe hard-driving Lee Lindbloom,5 up at the fourteenth hole. Al-though "Hyde" is very slight inbuild and does not get near thedistance attained by heavier op-ponants, his accurate work withthe irons carried him to the topof Stillonian artists of the oldScotch pastime.

At first, both players werebothered by the chilling windthat swept over the WavelandCountry Club course from thenorth, but after Hydeman gainedthe first hole on a beautifulmashie shot and Lee sunk a ten-foot put to win the second, thewinner began to stack up a leadthat was never thereafter en-dangered. In quick succession,the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 8th and 9thholes were taken by the accurateHydeman, whose mid-iron wassending the ball close to the cupwith regularity. Lindbloom wasable to tie things up on the 4thand 6th by fine work with hisdriver.

The rest of the match was play-on even terms and both men wereat the heighth of their game onthe greens. It was only by drop-ping the ball on the green withhis educated mashie in the lastfew holes that the winner wasable to hold his advantage.

Both men were in the rough onnumerous occasions, abt "Hyde"dug up the least turf and there-by held quite an -mlvantage.

The local Osteopathic champ-ion played consistantly through-out the whole siuecession ofmatches and won his way to thetop by hitting his stride earlyand never relinquishing his ad-vantage. Millard is one of thebest of Des Moines' youthfulgolfers and will, no doubt, beamong the winners in the tourn-ament play this summer.

Graduates Register forSummer P. G. Work

Several former graduates andsome from other colleges havealready registered for the post-graduate work that is availableat the college in surgery and ob-stetrics during the summermonths.

The extensive clinics that aremaintained in these two depart-ments enables the college to givethe field men the actual clinicalexperience that is so essential tothe success of the individual ineither of the two fields.

1928 Stillonian StaffElected

The editorship of the 1928 vol-ume of the Stillonian rests in thehands of G. O. Smith of the classof '28, as a result of an electionrecently held. "Red" has helddown the office of Associate Edi-tor on this year's volume and hasdischarged his duties in a onehundred per cent manner and isthe best qualified man of hisclass to handle the job next year.

For the task of Business Man-ager, the class chose Edgar M.Hubbell. Although not havinghad the advantage of previousexperience, Hubbell should havelittle difficulty in this importantdepartment of the book. Theclass is to be congratulated upontheir selections, and if they liveup to the expectations, the 1928Stillonian will be the best edi-tion published.

The Sophomores also had theirelections, and chose J. L. Kendallas Associate Editor and FrankDornbush as Assistant BusinessManager.

Pre-CommencementSocial Events

The outgoing Seniors are beingoverwhelmed with the numeroussocial activities that are beinggiven in their honor.

All the social fraternities areplanning farewell banquets andSpring Formals in honor of theiroutgoing brothers. The AnnualCollege Banquet for the Seniorclass is to. be held at the newYounker Tea Room on the eve-ning of the 19th.

Many of the parents and "cho-sen-ones" of the members of theclass are planning on attendingthe exercises on the 26th. Com-ing from all parts of the country,D.M.S..C.O. will be the host tothe greatest commencement guestlist in the history of the school.

Exercises, which will be heldat Hoyt Sherman Place, will alsobe atended by the physicians whowill be in the city at that timefor the annual convention of theIowa State Osteopathic Society.

Judging from the program thathas been arranged for that eve-ning, it will be one of the mostimpressive occasions ever con-ducted by the institution.

The pastor who was fond offigures of speech was making afuneral oration. He began hisaddress: "Friends, we have hereonly the shell of the man-theInut is gone.

Atlas - Non-FratsSlated for Finals

With the completion of thefirst round's play in the Inter-Fraternity Baseball League, theAtlas and Barb nines are a tiefor first place honors, with twovictories and one defeat chalkedup against each team. These bit-ter rivals are scheduled to settletheir little argument over thetrophy, as a part of the Stillon-ian Day program. The Iota TauSigma and Phi Sigma Gammatossers divided honors for thecellar birth, with one win andtwo losses each.

The Atlas sluggers failed tosolve the speedy delivery of"Bob" Ross, and bowed beforethe I. T. S. nine, 5 to 3, after ahard-fought contest. The losershad numerous opportunities toclinch the game, but the lack ofhits in the pinches, kept themaway from the home platter.

Holton, former star twirler forold Syracuse, had plenty of stuffon the pill, but found the goingdifficult because of a tendencytoward wildness. With two outs-in the first, a brace of wildheaves sent in the first tallies;,for Capt. Hovis' men. Dornbush/tied things up with a fierce three!bagger in the Atlas session.

Base on balls accounted foreach nine registering one run inthe second frame, and from theinon, till the last inning, it was iadraw. Dorny filled the bases inthe fifth and a clean single byLang sent in. the winning tally.The Atlas boys tried hard to pullthe contest out of the fire, andfilled the sacks in their half, buta would-be homer by Dornbushwas foul by inches, and the bat-tle was over.

The Non-Frats had the betterof a pitching duel betweenLashlee and Clark, and took theaffair, 7-3. "Tennessee" got off toa bad start in the very first in-ning, when he issued the firsttwo men who faced him, freepassage to the initial sack. Threestraight safeties accounted for alike number of tallies, and thewinners were away to a neat lead,.

Clark had difficulty in the sec-ond, when he freely sent oppon-ants to first over the four ballroute, but his mates came backstrong in their half to fill thebases, and the little pitcher puthis own game on ice with a roar-ing two-ply drive that sent inthree runners.

Cassis, who hit safely on eachtrip to the plate, featured thecontest with the longest driveever made on the local field. Itwas a tremendous sock whichcleared the distant left fieldfence easily and allowed the

Tennis TournamentOpens

The weilders of the racket haveswung into action with sixteenfollowers of the net game benton winning the Sigma Sigma PhiTrophy, which is to denote thefirst Pirate tennis champ. Mostof the players are very evenlymatched and it is expected thatthere will be lively competitionin the coming rounds of play.

In the upper bracket, "Baldy"Mott, former star of the NewEngland clay courts, is lookedupon as the likely survivor forfinal play, while the lower brac-ket claims the name of "Cam"Ward, who probably has the bestchance to meet the boy fromBoston in the title tilt. TheEasterner has been practicingregularly for this tournament,and although Ward claims he iscompletely out of condition, itis rumored that the Canadianhas been holding secret practicebehind closed doors for severalweeks.

The honor of being the first toadvance to the second round ofplay went to L. E. Schaeffer whenhis spinning serve and sizzlingforhand drives overcome theyouthful stamina of "Speedy"Gann, 6-3 and 6-4.

There are several dark horses--.- wVho may upset the sport dope

and most prominent among themseems to be Cassis of basket ballfame, Hydeman the golf champ.and Ken Ward the Canadian.

Recent Assemblies AreInteresting

Some excellent programs have.. en presented recently at thewjeekly assemblies.

C. H. Devine was the outstand-irlg entertainer of the semester,W'ith his Italian impersonations.By working some of the membersof the faculty and student bodyiitto the personnel of his jokes,he won the instant approval ofthe gang. Several have been de-sirous of finding out just who"posted" him so efficiently, andit is even rumored that one ortwo have gone so far as to offera reward for the information.

Dr. McRatton and the Rev. Mr.Rash both gave excellent ad-dresses, which were duly appreci-ated by the student body. Rev.Mir. Rash, having appeared before,

_.was given a hearty welcome,-which should have impressed him-with the fact that the student-body are "strong" for him andappreciate the time that he givesthe college every semester.

The Senior Class Day is to beheld on the twentieth, and fromthe rumors that are floating- .around the halls, will be the hitof the year. The program com-mittee under the direction ofReg. Platt have been putting insome hard work, and the resultshould be well worth the stu-dent's attendance. Everybody bethere!

Riches have wings but theywionn't rarrv you to heaven.

SIGMA CHI OMEGAAt each meeting we have been

fortunate in having some one ofthe college faculty present, andfrom them, we have receivedmuch valuable information, alongvarious lines. Dr. J. P. Schwartzwas our last speaker and gave usa highly interesting talk on"Professional Ethics."

The attendance record at themeetings has been very high,showing the fellows are highlyinterested in the new Osteopath-ic organization, which has as itsideals, the promotion of Profes-sional Training, Good Fellowshipand School Spirit.

Since Weldon Loerke has againbeen designated as "Uncle," bythe hand of Fate, he is keepingthe tailor busy, sewing the but-tons back on his coat.

The organization decided tohave a Hard Time Party in placeof the next regular meeting. Asuggestion was made to hire ahay-rack, as the mode of trans-portation to the spot chosen forthe picnic, but after much de-liberation, it was decided thattoo many of the fellows, especi-ally those from the "Sunflower"State, might suffer homesick-ness, so the gang will take achance on the street-car service.

D.M.S.C.O. VisitorsDr. Lois Irwin Richardson, May,

Foreman Murphy, how aboutcarrying some more bricks?

Murphy-I ain't feeling well,guv'nor. I'm tremblin' all over.

Foreman-Well, then, get busywith the sieve.

An apparently bold physicianchallenges us to print this one:

Dottie Come in and see ournew baby.

Teacher Thank you, but I willwait until your mother is better.

Dottie You needn't be afraid.It's not catching, teacher.

"Is it true, doctor," asked thegushing young lady, "that youare a lady-killer?"

"Madam," replied the doctor,"I make no distiction betweenthe sexes."-(Continent.)

He What makes you girls al-ways keep your money in yourstocking, instead of a bank?

She It draws more interest,you boob!

Two little boys were slammingeach other.

Solitude for Soul GrowthYou have noticed the calm that

recedes a storm, the quiet thatokens the first sharp, deafening

thunder claps ushering in thesummer thunder storm. Restprecedes activity, calm antedatestumult, the zero hour is a mo-ment of time separating nau-seous, blundering, effervescingcrushing stagnation and stillnessand grimy, mutinous, crunching,effacing pandemonium and death.

In the center of the cyclonicswirl and devastation is a sicken-ing, deadly, clammy stillness, adrawing, lifting, upward suctionas of God Pulling one towardHim. If you would be drawnupward, toward God, toward Om-piscience, you will seek the place.of quiet and isolation.

Moses spent forty years in thewilderness before 'he was fittedto the task of ushering the chil-dren of Israel out of Egyptianbondage. And it took forty moreyears in the wilderness on shortrations and forty entirely ration-less days on Mount Sinai to pro-duce the foundation of universallaw in the Ten Commandments.

Lincoln spent his boyhood peer-ing into the ceiling rafters of alog hut before an open fireplacewith but a book for company.WTashington, during the dark win-ter gloom of Valley Forge, couldbe seen daily in isolated wood-land solitude in communion withhis God. Christ spent thirtyyears in a quiet carpenter shop,tutoring His mind and soul,schooling Himself in the depthsof human suffering He was to en-dure. Even then he spent fortydays in the mountain fastnessesconquering the devil that tempt-ed Him and yet required fre-quent retirement to solitudewhen dire suffering tortured andwrenched the clearness and se-renity of His vision.

There is physical strength inmultitudes, but no soul strength.There is mutinous, devastatingstrength but no persistence ortenacity of purpose. You will seethe thousands, millions, ruled bythe command of the one strongman. Or one man may stand upand face a whole angry mob andwith the tranquility of his pur-pose and the calmness of his con-viction send them skulking tocover or espousing the cause ofhim they would have destroyed.And the strength of him wasgrown in the quiet corridors ofaloof days and candled nights be-yond the communicabled reachesof the rabble.

Would you wax strong? If youare a reliaionnist. snpend much tim

in your closet praying. Other-wise have hours by day and yourwatches at night communingwith kindred souls a-gone, intheir biographies and writings,and seek isolation and soul tran-quility through individual studyand research and through thoughtand reflection. Muffle your tym-panums with cotton to the lureof family, friends, and the jaun-diced acclaim of puppet para-sites. Stifle the shouts of syco-phants and self-appointed aso-lites to genius that they neithertempt nor distract you. To lis-ten is dissipation, with intoxica-tion and delerium tremens as itsconcomitants. At best you aredistressed, distraught and coma-tose.

Greatness' is solitary, not be-cause it is selfish or prudish butbecause it is insular and abstract-ed. It feeds on thought and iso-lation. To give it the circum-stance of babel and small talkfor food is to starve it throughinanition. It cannot subsist onthe emaciating diet of the ma-rasmus whoopees among whom itlives. It needs must stand tall,gaunt, isolated, solitary, tranquil,serene. It can stand alone with-out prop or cane, or even on asingle foot. It knows nor use fornor abuse of the halting assist-ance of a cork leg.

The closet, the garret, the for-est the plain, the mountain, areharrowers to the trite but bosomcompanion to the noble visaged.The viking sits an uncompanionedthrone or strides a path insolitary grandeur unattended.Wouldst emulate his magnitude,tryst the crags and fastnesses ofisolated solitude and boon yourthoughts attuned to the celerityof the Universe.

Stage Set for Iowa StateConvention

The curtain is ready to rise onthe 1927 annual convention of theIowa State Osteopathic Associa-tion, which will convene in thiscity on the 26th of May for athree days' session.

The program that has been ar-ranged is one of the most diver-sified that has ever been present-ed the body, and includes someof the foremost men of the coun-try. One of the outstanding fea-tures of the first day's scheduleis the attendance of the body atthe Commencement Exercises ofthe Class of May, 1927, which areto be held that evening.

Everyone is anxious to bringthe 1928 national convention toDes Moines, and it is expectedthat some action relative to theState Association's part in thismatter will be taken at thismeeting.

Good Executives Draw Out theRoRt . Tlhirp Trz in thor-v,

Ended is the School Year,nded is the school year,

Ended are the classes,There in old Still College,

Where they teach the Osteo-path.

There we sat respectful,At the feet of our professors,

Listening to the pearls of wisdomFrom their lips to us descend-

ing.Keen our minds were, to absorb

this,Mighty knowledge of the

ailments,Ailments that befall the body,

Cause such anguish and suchpain.

Much anatomy have we studied,Pathology to us is nothing new,

Of nerves we've learned,With some misgivings,

Things that would seem quite,Quite strange to you.

Theraputics now I'll tell youWe've absorbed a lot of it.

Technic with us is a by-word,For 'tis there we make a hit.

Much we've studied,Much we've practiced,

Of this gentle art of healing,Healing of the ailing,

Pain-racked bodies that we see.Now the halls they all are silent,Stilled the voices of professors,

Gone the shuffle of our foot-steps,

As the many steps we climbed.For 'tis summer, time of flowers,Chirping birds flit thru the treesWarm winds blowing from the

southland,Bringing fragrance, life and hope

Memories of the home folkswaiting

To receive us in their midst.This has hastened our depar-

ture,To our homes both far and near.

Many of our cheery comradesNow are doctors filled with

knowledge,Knowledge of the human

structure,And ailments to which it's heir.

Gone are they to help the ail-ing,

Help the suffering-cure the sickMay their mission be of glad-

journeysO'er the country, far and near,

Forget dear old STILL CollegeWhere we studied through the

At this time of year the wed-ding bug bites several of the stu-dent body, and also ravages theAlumni of D.M.S.C.O.

Dr. Neva Moss was recentlymarried to E. B. Westfall atWebster City.

Atlas - Non-FratsSlated For Finals

(Continued from page 1)Marrietta boy to do the BabeRuth trot.

The only shut-out of the seasonwas registered against the IotaTau Sigma, when they succumb-ed to the effective twirling ofJohnson by a 4-0 score. Ross wasin top form for the first threeframes and kept the enemy awayfrom the rubber, but he waveredin the fourth and was dented fori^two circuit drives by Johnsonand Clark. These two drives werebeautiful circuit drives and sentthe Barbs into enough of a leadto cinch the game.

Johnson had his curve whizz-ing over the plate under perfectcontrol and only allowed his op-ponants three safe blows. His_mates added two more countersin the final inning on a trio ofhits.

Captain Nesheim had his menon their toes and won out bysuperior batting punch againstthe speedy Hovismen.

In the best track meet of theseries the Atlas nine returnedvictorious from their running ef-forts to score a 11-9 win overPhi Sigma Gamma and earn the::right to play a final game for the:\trophy. After the first two in-"nings, which were without Cim- 'portance, the contest took on amost hectic nature and each nineendeavored to see how far theycould lambast the offerings ofenemy twirlers. Mott started the-fireworks in the third when he'cleaned the sacks with a rippingtwo-bagger to right. The follow-ing batters kept up the bombard-ment and when the clouds rolledaway no less than seven men hadtrod the home plate.

Dorny's men staged a partitalcomeback in their half of tleframe but could only pound otltfour runs. Damm and Ward didnoble stick work in this rally.

Montgomery was sent to therescue of the wilting Dornbus1;,whose sore arm could not standthe pace. Capt. Lashlee kept hismen pounding out the safetiesand added two more runs in thefourth.

The Atlas sluggers held a ter-rific session in their half of theinning and completely smotheredWeldon's floaters before a flood'.of safe blows. Led by the timelyextra-base clouts of Sheets, Mont-gomery and Ward, seven me'wcounted runs.

The Phi Sigs could not solveMontgomery's twisters and wereeasily set down without a score----in the final inning.

Juniors Elect OfficersThe present Junior A class

have already elected their offi-cers for the fall term of theirSenior year. Walter Cuff waschosen to guide their ship ofstate through the troubled wa-ters of the first half of the lastlap, and Harry McNaughton, inthe capacity of Vice President,will assist. Gail Smith was cho-sen as Secretary and Treasurer.

Senior Day

Friday, May 20th, was desig-nated as Senior Day, and as isthe custom, the Senior Class hadcharge of the Assembly.

The first number on the pro-gram was a violin solo, renderedby Dr. Harold Sefling, accom-panied by Mrs. Gladys Stribling.This offering was so well receivedthat two encores were necessary.

Dr. Thomas Mann next render-ed -two tenl;s - -> --

: UTlen the well-deserved ap-plause was silenced, the "LastWill and Testament" of theClass of 19217 was read by Dr.Walter Damm. Time was takenout for the presentation of asilver gravy bowl to Dr. RalphVan Ness, by the Atlas Club.

After the completion of theWill, Dr. "Sheriff" Earl Reed, aschairman, introduced "Dr. Ches-ter White" from "somewhere inCanada," who gave us some highpoints of Technique and Diagno-sis. He had three patients, anative Hebrew, a high-low-brow,and a very beautiful female ex-ponent of physical culture.

The part of Dr. Chester WVhitewas played by Reg Platte, theHebrew by Charles Johnson, thebrown boy by Ab Graham, andthat of the beautiful female byLeland Spencer.

In the many take-offs, none ofthe instructor's favorite express-ions were forgotten. Even Dr.Foman, who was giving a ReviewCourse at the time, was remem-bered by "Ab" Graham, when hestated that "It's nasea until Itell you otherwise."

This ended, not only assembly,but classes for the day.

THE LOG BOOK

Summer 0. B. ClinicThe Summer Obstetrical Clinic

offers a varied field of experienceto the student who wishes tomake the most of his schoolwork, and is willing to spend asummer at Still College to takeadvantage of this opportunity.

This also applies to the Doctorin the field, who wishes to takePost-Graduate work, and improvehis obstetrical knowledge andtechnic. A month in the Sum-mer Clinic gives the most exper-ience in the least time, and un-der the greatest variation of cir-cumstances.

The Clinic comprises all planesof living, from the lowest in the"slum districts," to the best fam-ilies of the city, and all are ac-corded the same painstakingcare and courteous treatment, be-fore, during and after confine-ment.

In June, July and August of1926, there were 12, 16 and 16deliveries, respectively, or a totalof 44. There were usually fivestudents on each case, which al-lowed 220 observed deliveries.

The credits on each case are, 6for delivery, 3 for attendance,and 3 for each after-call. There-fore, on the 44 cases there were264 points for delivery, 528 forattendance, and 1188 for after-calls, or a total of 1980 pointscredit.

Except for emergency cases,all patients are treated for twoor three months before confine-ment, and a urinalysis is runabout every ten days, for whichadditional credits are granted.

At the present time there areregistered in the Clinic, elevencases for June, seven for Julyand six for August, with new reg-istrations coming in each week.

The summer of 1927 offers agreat experience for those whoare fortunate enough to take ad-vantage of it, due to the factthat there are enrolled only one-third as many students as therewere in 1926.

Iowa State OsteopathicConvention

The State Osteopathic Conven-tion was held at the Fort DesMoines Hotel on May 26, 27 and28, and was voted very success-ful and worthwhile.

Doctors C. W. Johnson, J. P.Schwartz and Robert Bachmanfrom the College, each talked onsubjects of great interest to theprofession. Their subjects were,respectively: - "Our School";"Acute Treatment" and "Obstet-rics." Miss Ava L. Johnson alsospoke, her subject being "MentalHygiene."

The Hon. Fred Hunter, Mayorof Des Moines, gave the addressof Welcome to the Association.He was followed by Dr. C. N.Stryker, President of the IowaAssociation. Dr. R. B. Gilmour,President of the American Osteo-pathic Association, had the floorfor .part of the afternoon.

On Thursday evening, the ma-jority of the delegates attendedthe Commencement Exercises atHoyt Sherman Place.

Shoeless, he climbed the stairs,opened the door of the room, en-tered, and closed it after himwithout being detected. Just ashe was about to get into bed hiswife, half-aroused from slumber,turned and sleepily said: "Is thatyou, Fido?"

The husband, telling the restof the story, said: "For once inmy life I had real presence ofmind. I licked her hand."

Doctor Your wife suffers frominsomnia? Are there any seriousconsequences?

Visitor Yes. When I comehome late she is always awake.

A Tribute for ServiceOf Dr. F. Don Baylor it can be

said, to know him was to appre-ciate him. A man of sterlingcharacter and outstanding abil-ity. His unassuming attitude andjovial disposition won him manyfriends, who will regret his de-parture.

During his course at Still Col-lege, besides carrying on his reg-ular school work, he edited thejLog Book for three years, andwas editor-in-chief of the Still-onian during his Senior year.

The honor medal for Servicewas awarded him upon gradua-tion.

A man of his ability will begreatly missed by Still College,but its loss will be the gain ofthe Des Moines General Hospital,where he takes up his duties asInterne on June 1.

As a Man Thinketh

If a man thinks everyone isagainst him, he will soon beginto treat them so they will be.If he thinks everyone is hisfriend, he will treat them right,unconsciously, and they soonwillbe his friends. The man who liveshis daily life according to thisformula has in his make-up aspark of sound and true philos-ophy that will make his lifebrighter. If we put into all therelations with our fellows a fullmeasure of friendliness and goodwill, we are pretty sure to get itback full and overflowing. On theother hand, if a man is suspiciousof everybody, everyone will beSuspicious of him. The man whogoes about looking for a fight issure to get licked some day, goodand plenty.

True friendliness is founded onsincerity. And sincerity is aboutthe only thing in this world thatcan't be counterfeited. The im-pulse toward friendliness springsfrom the very soul of a man.

The world needs friendliness,and kindness, and good will. NotSundays only, but every day inthe week, and every hour of everyday. Think friendly thoughts. Ifyou've got a soul, don't beashamed of it. Bring it into theoffice with you. For the soul isthe source and fountain-head ofevery good and worthy impulse.

Put your faith in men. Believethey are your friends, and theywill be. - (Earnshaw Press ofBoston.)

"Go to a friend for advice, astranger for charity, and a rel-ative for nothing" is a piece ofadvice an "old timer" gave meyears ago.

Inter-Fraternity RelayFor the third consecutive time,

four speed artists representingIota Tau Sigma stepped theirway over the medley relay courseto win the Iota Tau Sigma Inter-fraternity Trophy by a goodlymargin. This victory gives thempermanent possession of the firstcup to be presented.

Captain Watkins got off to agood start in the hundred, andalthough he was closely pressedby Plude, of the Barbs, he gavethe fleet Loghry a yard advan-tage at the passing of the baton.The 220 yard flash took advan-tage of a smooth exchange of thestick and held a three yard leadwhen he handed the baton to"Red" Lang. Phi Sigma Gammaand Atlas runners were bunchedclose behind the leader, in theorder named.

Lang fought his way every stepof the 4.40 and never relinquishedthe terriffic pace with which hestarted, while Phi Sig and Atlasspeedsters were at his heels.

When the veteran Kale startedthe half-mile he was expected tosoon leave the rest of the field,but Heinlan of the P.S.G.'s haddifferent ideas and stuck rightto the leader until the last turn,where he wearied and the formerOhio Wesleyan star sprinted tovictory. Fourth place went to theAtlas quartet, while the Barbsfinished last.

The winning of the trophy re-wards the earnest efforts of Capt."Birdie" Wadkins and "Peal"Loghry, who have lead the oppo-sition at their distances threestraight years. Wadkins is a for-mer Illinois high school star,while Loghry ran for West Mlin-ister and Hobart colleges in thePenn Relays.

Too much credit can not begiven to Ray Kale, Ohio Wesley-an star and three times Big Sixmile champion of the Buckeyestate. "Rev" took care of thehalf mile stretch for the last twoyears and has never had an equalat his distance in the Osteopathicinstitution.

"Red" Lang was a newcomerthis year but he showed himselfto be a capable quarter-milerwho can stand the pace he setsand was without doubt, a worthymember of the winning combina-tion.

Although the Iota Tau Sigmarunners have all been men ofoutstanding ability to traversetheir distance in fast time, themost prominent thing has beenthe speed and accuracy withwhich they passed the baton.This factor has given them anearly lead each year, and theyhave never failed to hold it thru-out.

Laughter - not sighs - scarestroubles away.

Tennis TournamentA veteran of many hard-fought

court battles thruout New Eng-land, Howard "Baldy" Mott, hand-ily won the initial Dean's Trophywhich has been donated by Dr.Schwartz. The champion sweptthru each round and had littledifficulty disposing of his oppo-nants, after Ken Ward succumbedin a spirited battle of the firstround.

It was rather unfortunate thatthe feature match of the tourna-ment should occur in the firstround's play, but this is a com-mon happening where the drawsare not seeded. Ward was thedark-horse and it was wholly un-expected that he would give Mottany difficulty. The first set wasa nip and tuck battle all the wayand it was the winner's deadlyaccuracy with his forehand drivethat finally settled the margin ofvictory. The score was 8-6 andafter "Baldy" was in top formto make the next set 6-1.

The others who survived thefirst rounds competition wereCassis, Van Ness, Schaeffer, L. E.Dornbush, Harvey Mac Dougaland Cam Ward. Practically everymatch was close and the condi-tion of the winner was the decid-ing factor. There was a notice-able lack of steady serving abil-ity while a number of the con-testants displayed surprising ac-accuracy with the back handstroke.

In the upper bracket of thesemi-finals Van Ness and Mottadvanced to their positions byrather easy victories, while inthe lower half, Dornbush won byforfeit and Harvey was extendedto the limit to take a 6-4, 8-6duel from Cam Ward.

Van Ness could not get hisground strokes to working andconsequently Mott disposed ofhim in short order 6-0, 6-3 to goto the finals. "Baldy" hit a fastpace all the way and was introuble but once, when he drop-ped three in a row by drivingout of bounds.

John Harvey kept up his greatserving and chop strokes to com-pletely smother the aggressiveDornbush, 6-3, 6-2. This was Har-vey's second match of the after-noon and during the last set he'began to show the effects of theheat.

In the final session betweenMott and Harvey, the former dis-played deadly driving power andsent his back-hand chops deep in-to back court territory. It wasnot long before the loser beganto weary under the stress ofMotts accuracy and the strain ofthree matches in one afternoon.Harvey's serve lacked the speedand deception that had gainedhim numerous points againstother opponants. "Baldy" playedsteadily to win each point, finallysweeping to the championship bya 6-3, 6-1 score.

Barbs Win BaseballTrophy Again

For the second time in as manyyears, the Barb ball tossers haveclimbed to the top in the Inter-.fraternity league and pulleddown the Sigma Sigma Phi Tro-phy. This time they were victor-ious in the Stillonian Day play-off of the tie for first place, byletting down the Atlas nine 3-2.

The contest was one of th6best ever to be staged in theOsteopath league, and both teamsplayed heads-up ball thruout.However, the Non-Frats got alittle the best of the twirlingand played every break for whatit was worth, while the Atlasboys failed to come thru withthe bingles when they could havecounted runs.

In the very first inning theFrat lads crossed the platter,when Parks counted on an errorafter he had walked. Followingthis, Johnson tightened downand had the opposition whiffingthe air. He allowed just one bin-gle up to the last stanza. Errorsplaced two Atlas runners on thepaths in the fourth and it lookedlike the game would be put onice there, but the next threebatters were sent back to thebench via the strike-out route,and the clouds had rolled by.

The Barbs threatened in thefirst when they put two men onbases with one down, but thenext man fanned and the runnerfrom second was hit by a battedball, ending the session. Dorn-bush was slipping them by withease, up to the fourth, whenClark singled, stole second andthird, and romped home on aninfield out. This tied the score.Two hits and an error sent overanother counter in the fifth, whenCapt. Nesheim dented the plate.

The Atlas men made a grandeffort in the final inning to pullthe contest out of the fire, andthrew quite a scare into the win-ners. Parks started the fireworkswith a single and went to thirdwhen Sheets sent a line single toright. Don stole second. Johnsondecided it would be best to walkthe slugging Dornbush, and pass-ed the twirler with four wideones, However, the Barb, flingercould not find the plate whenfaced him and issued anotherfree ticket. This forced in Parkswith a run.

L. E. Schaeffer tried hard tosave the day and bring glory tohis name, but his smash wasbarely knocked down by the Non-Frat pitcher, who threw to firstand nipped the runner by a hair.Had Johnson not gotten his glovein front of the blow, at least tworuns would have counted andsent the Barbs down to defeat.

It was a fitting climax for aclose and well played contest.Dornbush pitched wonderful ball,considering that he was sufferingfrom a painful sore arm. Onlythree hits were obtained off thespeedy delivery of Johnson, whilethe Non-Frates nicked Dorny forseven safeties. Sheets and Parksstarred at the bat for the Fratmen, while Clark, Springer andCapt. Nesheim were the Barbsluggers.

What This Country' Needs

What this country needs is not-a new birth of freedom, but theold-fashioned $2.00 lower berth.

It isn't more liberty, but lesspeople who take liberties withour liberty.

It is not a job for every man,but a real man for every job.

It isn't to get more taxes fromthe people, but for the people toget more from the taxes.

It is not more miles of terri-tory, but more miles to the gal-ion.

It isn't more young men mak-ing speed, but more young menplanting spuds.

It is more paint on the oldplace and less paint on the youngface.

It is to follow the footprintsof the fathers instead of the foot-steps of the dancing master.-(St. Paul Crescent.)

THE LOG 'BOOK




Editor ....................... L. J. Grinnell


The Age We Live In

Talk about the "good old days"as we like, the fact remains thatwe live in a wonderful age, per-haps the most wonderful in hu-man history. It would take col-umns just to enumerate the im-provements we enjoy, improve-ments which would have seemedmiracles to our forefathers andwhich are everyday affairs to us.

Science has wrought wondrous.changes in the conditions of liv-ing, and osteopathy is one of itsmost beneficial developments.Just as other pathfinders of sci-,ence discovered undreamed ofpowers in earth and air, so An-,drew Taylor Still, the founder of.osteopathy, discovered undream-ed of powers in the living humanbody, powers which are as muchat our service as the powersaround and above us.

Are we helping or hinderingthese powers within us, in theirwork of maintaining and restor-ing health? We cannot ask a-nore practical question.

The Pessimist

The Pessimist of today is amodern mud-slinger.

He is the critical, hair split-ting member of the human race,that goes about belittling the ef-forts of the fellows that arebuilders-some in a large wayana otners in a small way.

The Pessimist is a habitual andconfirmed kicker. He rises up inthe morning and goes abouthanding down critical decisionson every conceivable issue. Sel-dom is he constructive, becausea pessimistic mind is invariablythe father of destructive thots.

It doesn't require skill on thepart of any mortal to be a Pessi-mist. He is a sort of parasiticbarnacle on the body social andIs anti in thot and deed.

Scorn the Pessimist.

Success and failure are, firstof all and above all, states ofmind. Like the cocoon, we spinour web out of ourselves. Every-thing comes from within; noth-ing merely happens. The worldis a mirror which gives us backscowl for scowl, pessimism forpessimism, success for courage-and faith in the thing we aretrying to do.-(Ruby Cross.)

Should not every apartment inwhich man dwells be loftyenough to create some obscurityoverhead, where flickering shad-ows may play at evening aboutthe rafters?

Newer Things in ScienceThe Situation in the Radium

IndustryAlthough radium has been

found in many other countries,the United States has been theprincipal producer, about 150grams (worth $20,000,000) arehere in use, of which 90 per centhas come from Colorado andUtah.

Ten companies have been inoperation. Five are now operatingand approximately $10,000,000has been expended by them inmines and plants.

The American deposits arespotty and difficult to locate andcontain only about 2 per cent ur-anium oxide, which is handsortedinto bags and carried by mule-back several miles to motortrucks, then to a narrow gaugerailroad, and later by standardguarge railroad to Denver. Itwill be noted that 98 per cent ofthese freight charges are a totalloss, yet because one pound ofacid is required for each poundof ore, it is still not profitableto treat the ore at the mines.

Besides these physical difficul-ties, 200 to 400 tons must betreated to produce one gram ofradium.

Rich ores were discovered in1913 in the Belgian Congo, butthe war stopped their develop-ment. The Belgians kept this dis-covery secret, because they couldnot forsee the victorous outcomeof the war. Even since then,nothing was published until theirplants were completed.

The result then was consider-able concern on the part of Am-erican producers, for notwith-standing a 2000-mile trip downthe Congo River, rail to the coastand thence by ship to Antwerp,this company can undersell theAmerican product by a largemargin.

A conference between Ameri-can and Belgian Companies hasresulted in a joint selling organi-zation to market radium thruoutthe world.

To convince the physician ofthe value of radium, is only thefirst step in its use. Radium is adangerous element and the com-panies have had to create post-graduate schools.

Besides its medical and phos-phorescent uses, the companieswould not be surprised to findmany new commercial activitiesdepending upon radium, for ithas possibilities as a catalyzerand ionizer.-(Science.)


Dr. Chas. F. Frazer writes, say-ing he still has the best practicein California, at Escondido. Hewishes to turn it over to somegood osteopath because of ad-vancing age, and will sell it, withfurniture and fixtures, for a nom-inal sum.

If interested, write to Dr. Chas.F. Frazer, Box 543, 250 IndianaAvenue, Escondido, California.

In poetry, as in all things,quantity is generally achieved atthe expense of quality.

Cycles in AntisepsisThe wise men of old, long ago

recognized the cycles of humanlife, of the world we live in, andof the universe.

Even the progress of humanthought and development movesin cycles.

The seasons of the year, thecoming of day and night, the vis-itations and other phenomena ofthe heavenly bodies, are all re-minders of the cycles throughwhich we live and die.

Medical progress, although attimes appearing to be swift, isreally a step forward and a stepbackward and a turn in a cycle.

The French have a very ex-pressive proverb: Si jeunesse sa-vait! Si viellesse pouvait! Ifyouth had the knowledge! If agehad the power!

Youth scoffs at and casts asidethe experience of age, only tocome back to it at some latertime, modifying, changing, add-ing its own bitter-sweet findings.Youth is now age. Again thecycle.

Take the matter of antisepsis.In Lister's time, everything wascarbolized. Then came bichloride.Then iodoform. Then the cresols.Later peroxide. Iodine startledthe world, followed by variousiodine compounds and deriva-tives.

Then Physiology dictated thenew mode-Use no antiseptics;use sterile saline solution orwater.

The War soon proved that mereasepsis is not enough, and brotforth the hyporchlorites, alsomeritorious. The vuzins and theacriflavines are among the mostrecent newcomers.

With all this slow progress, bi-chloride, carbolic and cresol areagain finding favor with manywho have been "thru the mill",or rather around the cycle, andhave found them more than satis-factory-when judiciously used,and judiciousness in use comesonly by experience, by at leastone complete trip around thecycle.

K. C. O. S. Handed Overto the Profession

Tuesday, May 17, 1927, was ared letter day in osteopathichistory, for it marked the be-ginning of a new era in the de-velopment of osteopathy's largesteducational institution. With be-fitting ceremony and celebration,in which representatives of manydepartments of professional ac-tivity took part, the KirksvilleCollege of Osteopathy and Sur-gery was given to the osteopathicprofession and deeded to a boardof trustees who will act as theprofession's representatives.

The close of the Kirksville col-lege's days as a profit-making in-stitution was marked by theburning of mortgage stocks andbonds to the value of half a mil-lion dollars. The burning act wasperformed by Dr. George M.Laughlin, who was the centralfigure in the day's proceedings.

A detailed report will be givenin the June issue of the A. 0. A.Journal.

Number 24JULY 1st, 1927

ANENT, The New Still CollegeOsteopathy in Iowa is on the

boom! We anticipate the comingof the A.O.A. Convention to Iowain 1928. And now we are informedthat the Des Moines Still Collegehas definitely completed the dealfor new college quarters. We re-joice -with-'them. This will meana material stimulus to Still Col-lege. It will give them an oppor-tunity to broaden their activitiesand scope of usefulness. It willgive them better facilities tofunction in their capacity ofmaking capable Doctors of Os-teopathy. It will enhance publicinterest in our profession. It willboost Osteopathy in Iowa. Wecongratulate the Still College onsuccessfully- negotiating thisproposition.

C. N. STRYKER, D. 0., Pres.Iowa Osteopathic Society.

After living there for nearlythirty years, Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy is leavingthe old home place on Locust St.,having outgrown her quarters,and is moving into new and morecommodious quarters on SixthAve., the main north and souththorofare of Des Moines.

The new home, locally knownas the Western Life Bldg., is ofconcrete-steel-brick construction,fire-proof thruout, including thedoors, windows, elevator shafts,and staircasings, and on thefront elevation is faced withwhite pressed brick. The con-struction is such that it willcarry seven stories, five of whichare finished, with a sixth flooralready laid. A roof has beenplaced immediately over thisfloor, so the cost of finishing asixth story would not be great.Light in perpetuity is providedin the form of wide alleys run-ning on three sides, with SixthAvenue in front.

The building is within a blockof Keosauqua Way, destined to bethe greatest artery of the citywith Fifth Avenue just a blockaway, and it virtually faces thearchitectually imposing Consis-tory across the street. The newcollege building is approximately66 feet high, runs from the side-walk to the back alley and hasabout 28,000 square feet of util-izable floor space. In other wordswere it to be used for commer-cial tenancy, there -would beavailable 28,000 feet, as the build-ing is located on the fringe oJthe central down town businesssection. There, monthly rentalsare over a dollar and many arewell over two and a half dollars

per square feet. It should beeasy for anyone with a borrowedlead pencil to calculate the prob-able income--always allowing forvacancies. If you take the initialrental, allow 20% for vacancies-substract all essential overhead,including taxes, insurance andthe like-what remains will rep-resent an income of 6% on a cap-ital of well over a quarter mil-lion of dollars. This in ordinarytimes represents the investmentvalue of the building. In apprais-ing it for college purposes, dif-ferent factors enter in, but atleast, it shows to what use sucha building may be put, shouldthere ever arise an occasion touse it for other than college pur-poses.

To finance such a project, with-out burdening the school, thusdepriving it of revenue whichmust go into the making of agreat educational institution, isnot so easy, as those who havetried, may know. By using theequity in the old property andby a very favorable arrangementwith the Royal Union Life whoseofficers have long been impressedwith the worth and standing ofOsteopathy, we have been able toassume this new and larger obli-gation without in any way haz-zarding the future of the school.Briefly stated, the business ar-rangements calls for

(a)-Amortization of the un-paid balance thru a period ofyears.

(b) Interest on the unpaidbalance at a rate lower than thatpaid by any but the wealthiestIowa corporations.

(c) A voluntary undertakingby the Royal Union Life to cre-ate an endowment for the collegethru the sale of insurance to theprofession, (and at no additionalcost to the profession beyondthat of any equal risk and cover-age.)

Prudent business managementrequires that the new collegeventure be safe, workable andprofitable without the aid whichthe last (c) provision may yieldThat is is so, is the firm belief ofthe finance department of thecollege. Thus D.M.S.C.O. comesinto possession of a great prop-erty and embarks upon a greatfuture without calling upon herloyal alumni, the osteopathicprofession, or the public atlarge, for contributions.

E. E. STEFFEN, D. O.,Treasurer

It is difficult for me to expressmy delight and satisfaction, nowthat our dream of a new schoolbuilding, long looked forward to,is about to be realized.

Hitherto, we have worked hardand planned and schemed, onlyto find that as each new semesterhas presented itself, we have hadto welcome the incoming stu-dents to a building that seemedunworthy of the good work thatis being carried on. Now it willbe our great pleasure to extendthat same hearty welcome tothat same old Still College, butin its new dress.

I feel that this will be an in-centive to still greater efforts atsuccess in the future, on the partof both faculty and student body.I look forward with keen antici-pation to the opening of the fallterm in our new home.

K. M. ROBINSON, Sec'y.D. M. S. C. 0.

The purchase of a new spac-ious building for our college,marks another milestone in theadvancement of Osteopathy. Ifeel that we will all be able toput more work, more enthusiasm,and more of our heart into Os-teopathy than ever before. Inade-quate facilities have hinderedour efforts for a long time-now,with every facility for teaching,large new quarters, more up-to-date equipment and a large stu-dent body, Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy has literallyhitched its wagon to a star andcan only go on, and on, and al-ways upward.

The love that we have bornefor our college, ever fired on bythe smothered flame of a new in-stitution, has now been repaid.The light has burst forth withdazzling brilliancy and the newcollege is ours. We have waitedlong, the prize is therefore muchgreater, and we pledge to ourfounder, old Daddy Still, a re-newed spirited endeavor to teachOsteopathy, to promulgate itsprincipals and advance its stan-dards in every possible way. DesMoines Still College 'of Osteop-athy fortified by a well-groundedfaculty, working with modernequipment and inspired by a newbuilding, will fulfil these pledges.

JOHN P. SCHWARTZ, DeanD. M. S. C. 0.

Still College is to have a newbuilding! That is precisely whatwas said to me just twenty yearsago, when I was making my plansto Pnter Still Colleoe. Oh_ ves.

And the picture of the "new"building was .produced. It was tobe an elaborate extension of thepresent structure.

That was 'way back in 1907.And when I reached Des Moines,I found a total enrollment of ascant fifty students, including myown freshman class of eighteen.Those were the good old days!BUT we didn't hear anythingmore about a new building.

Gradually the student bodygrew, and the faculty built up inquantity and quality. The stu-dents of today have very littleidea of the "tough sledding" ofthose "good old days."

Then came the disaster of 1911,when poor old Still College nearlysuccumbed. But, no; the Schoolwas re-organized, and, like anyother healthy American project,soon scrambled to its feet, andwas on its way.

Again the student body grewsturdily in numbers. Again thefaculty grew in strength. Againthe laboratories were replenishedand the walls refinished. BUTnever a word about a new build-ing.

Later, in 1917 and 1918, thatlittle controversy across the pondbid fair to disorganize our Col-lege completely. For our studentsin great numbers, heard UncleSam calling and hesitated not aminute, to help in the work of"making the world safe for dem-ocracy." The handful left, strug-gled on. A new building seemedfar away indeed, in those days!

But once the war was over, theboys and girls came back, andmany more came with them. Thestudent body grew apace. Thefaculty was re-inforced with eachsucceeding year. New equipmentwas bought, and the old wasim-proved. The old building wasmade as presentable as possible.So the years went on. The morerecent history of Stilt Collegereads like a fairy story.

And now we come to the sum-mer of 1927, when Still Collegeis ready to announce to its manyfriends, and the world at large,.the purchase of a new collegebuilding. Not the building talkedabout twenty years ago, but amuch more commodious building,.for we have grown beyond ourfondest expectations. And thebuilding is much better suitedfor our needs, much better lo-cated for our needs, present andfuture.

Hurrah for our new Still Col-lege building!

Exhibit "C"In editing Dr. Steffan's well-

written article on the businessside of the deal for our newhome, a recent incident that oc-curred under the writer's obser-vation illustrates better thananything else just what thisitem means to all of us.

The other day we had occa-sion to park across from wherean old building was being torndown to make way for a statelynew structure. Backed up to thecurb and as near as possible to amonstrous pile of old bricks weobserved a wagon drawn by a sin-gle horse and attended by a sin-gle working man. The man wasmaking repeated trips from thepile of bricks to the wagon andsucceeding even in his slow wayin loading the wagon. He wasnot strong, but plainly showedthat he was determined andwould eventually finish the task.Coming up the street we noticeda troop of Boy Scouts headed bytheir Scout Master. The boyswere evidently just starting on ahike. They were full of life, andtheir captain had no littletrouble in keeping the linesstraight. As he came up to theman loading the wagon he halt-ed the troop, gave a command,and the pent-up energy went towork. The boys formed them-selves into two lines leadingfrom the brick pile to the wag-on and began immediately to passthe bricks from one to anotheralong the line until the wagonwas heaped high with a load thatlooked as if more than sufficient.The whole time occupied was lessthan five minutes, the man stoodsmiling and grateful. The boyssmiled back, saluted and passedon. Without cost to themselvesbut for. the small bit of time, theboys had each chalked up morethan one more good deed. Theyhad helped where help was need-ed and at a time when it wasneeded most. A perfect exampleof mutual benefit for all partiesconcerned.

This incident typifies exactlywhat you can do. You can im-mediately enlist as a member ofthe Osteopathic Scouts of StillCollege and perform your gooddeed for the college without loss,but with great benefit to your-

Space does not permit usto give you the details of theplan. We can only cite you thebare facts and if you are anx-ious to know more about it writethe above named company in DesMoines and they will be glad tofurnish you with the detail. Per-mit us to point out the essentials.

Any one of the three commontypes of policies may be takenout, viz., term insurance, twentyyear pay, or life. Each will car-ry an endowment clause for thebenefit of the college.

Policies sold only to Osteopathsin units of $500.,00 and not morethan five units to one individual.

Eliminating the agent's com-mission in favor of the insured,the rate will be lowered to apoint where mere comparisonwith other rates for the sameamount will sell this policy. Thismeans a big saving for you.

If you can save money on yourinsurance, and at the same time,without any additional cost toyou, contribute to an endowmentfund for Still College, surely youshould take advantage of theoffer.

In its entire existence, StillCollege has never sought an en-dowment fund. Like the one manmaking up his load, it has workedslowly and successfully. Withthis new venture Still College isnot asking for contributions fromyour pocket without just com-pensation and mutual benefit.Will you be one of our Osteopath-ic Scouts?

Structural Twists CausePersonality Twists

"Creative chemistry will soonbe able to supply us with 'per-sonality.' It will beautify unat-tractive features, supplant leth-argy with vivaciousness, coldnesswith sympathy, stupidity withwit. The very stature and tem-perament of a man some daymay be altered and improved bycreative chemistry. Charactedmay be altered from the 'out-side.' "

It's a big order Dr. E. S. Slos-son, director of Science Service,gives. However, here are a fewthings we already know: A pelvictwist, a fallen arch, a subluxatedrib or vertebra will change one'sdisposition and develop a nervouscondition with a "personality"askew. These little deviationsalone will cause enough internaltrouble to disturb the functionsof the whole body machine.

Whatever this "creative chem-istry will do, osteopathy hasproven in her own and other lab-oratories that the internal secre-tions can be normalized, the redcells of the blood multiplied, thedigestive workings corrected, themental processes brought back tonormal and consequently increas-ed, by osteopathic care.

Knowledge and WisdomThere is a wide difference be-

tween them. Knowledge is ac-quaintance with fact. Wisdom isknowledge, plus the ability tointerpret and make right use offact. We may accumulate vaststores of knowledge and gainlittle wisdom. Hence the poetsaid, "Knowledge comes but wis-dom lingers."

Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, thefounder of osteopathy, was es-sentially a contributor of scien-tific wisdom. For centuries thepractitioners of healing had beendoing splendid work by discover-ing and amassing facts about thehuman body. But to find the cor-rect interpretation and applica-tion of these facts, to transformall this knowledge into' wisdom,takes a long time.

Dr. Still discovered many factsabout the living body, but per-haps his greatest work was ingiving us a better interpretationand application of the facts al-ready known. He traversed the.existing field of medical knowl-edge like his brother doctors, buthe was not satisfied with thepractical results. He sought more-wisdom in the supremely import-ant work of healing. He studiedand thought and worked until hefound it, in osteopathy as weknow it today.-(A.O.A.)

1928 Des Moines-1928Our National Conventions prove

valuable to the profession in pro-portion to the number of ourpractitioners attending. A cen-tralized location for these gath-erings, therefore, is always ad-vantageous. For this reason, andmany others, Des Moines has be-come famous as "The Nation'sConvention City." Their Chamberof Commerce and the people ofDes Moines and the Osteopathicprofession in Iowa, want the A.O.A. Convention next year. Weare confidently expecting to getit, .and are making adequatepreparations to handle it.

The Des Moines Still Collegeand Des Moines General Hospitalare supporting this movement,and with their accessibility andco-operation, nowhere could amore ideal layout be found. Weinvite the assistance of the Al-umni and friends of the Still Col-lege and\ General Hospital tobring the 1928 A.O.A. Conventionto Des Moines.

From the 0. B. Depart-ment

A million now and Osteopathyforever! D.M.S.C.O. has enlistedin the crusade and has startedwith one-fifth that amount in anew building, as her part. Thelong talked of building is now arealization. This realizationwhich would be a credit to anyinstitution-is the outgrowth ofyears of hard work on the partof the faculty, and careful man-agement on the part of theboard; a glorious reward foruntiring efforts.

As a student, I heard talk ofthe new building; as a professor,I discussed a new building; as aboard member, helped to plan anew building, and now a newbuilding is ours, the result of agrowing profession, a milstonein the development of science, amemorial to Osteopathy. I, asinstructor in the new building,consider it an honor to teach inan osteopathic college that issecond to none!

With added interest, increasedassets, and renewed enthusiasm,I feel that my department cantake part in making more radicalchanges in the population of DesMoines than ever before.

This institution, that has stoodthe pressure of opposition anddepression during and followingthe late war, has progressed andwith flying colors now stands asa beacon on the horizon of agreatest profession ever estab-Isihed for suffering mankind.

We who are intimately con-nected with the college, have anopportunity to measure the val-ue, appreciate the sacrifices, andenjoy the prestige of the newbuilding, as no other can, untilthey have given to Osteopathyto make it as prominent a fac-tor to the healing science as thenew building will in the life ofour student body.

The Convention LogBook

As has been our custom for thelast few years, we have underpreparation a special number ofThe Log Book and Little Still-onian, which will be put out justbefore the Convention. As usual,we will have a booth at the Na-tional Convention, and will wantto see all our old friends there.

Summer 0. B.

As usual, quite a number havemade arrangements for Summer0. B. work at the school. Duringthe month of June, Drs. H. I.Slocum of Middlebury, Vt. andMyron Runions of Correction-ville, Iowa, have taken advantageof the clinic. Not only have theseDoctors been out on the work,but have taken in the clinic of-fered several times a week at thehospital.
