number of legitimate theaters in the Ijnited States has shrunk
from 6000 20 years ago to 500 today. Most of these are'
grouped in the big cities ; few cities of less than metropolitan
size have any at all. This is generally considered as a sort
of calamity; but, lor the life of us, we cannot see why. The
plays that the small city used to get were generally pretty
poor stun, acted by pretty poor actors. There were exeep
tions, fcf course; but tho general average was something rath'
er woeful. Losing piays of that kind has been no great loss.
The movies, to bo sure, are far from perfect; yet, by and
)arge,, we submit that they provide just about as high an in
tellectual fare as the third-rate companies of two decades
ago did. i

In his concluding remarks, the
speaker declared: "We can trust
that the medical profession Is giv
ing us tne best there la."
Dr, Lee B. llouvy, president ol
the society, was in charge of the
concluding part of the opening Uuy
session of the medical society's
66th state convention, and after lr.

motion picture showing the im
portance of early treatment of
cancer. The film was called "The
Reward of Courage," i

Following this Dr. J. Earl Else,
head of the surgery department at
the University of Oregon, spoke
briefly, also devoting most of his
time to cancer. The cuuse Is yet
unknown, he fluid, but certain
things such us a sore that doesn't
heal quickly or a lump In one's
breast, often turn Into cancer. He
stressed the necessity of early
treatment and urged a periodic ex
amination to guard ugalnst any
canveroua growth gaining a strong
start.
Dr. Frederick A. .Kiehle, of the
University of Oregon medical
school In Portland, was the final
speaker, specialising on "Tho Con
servation of Vision." Pointing out
thut no economic vulue can be
placed on eyesight, he decluiud
that it Is very important that at
tention be given to children's eyes
from infancy. "Any blemiHh
should be Investigated," he said,
adding that it Is no longer neces
sary to wuit until a child reaches
school ago to test the eyes. "Cross
eyes after the first six weeks of
the child's life should be properly
conibatted," he emphasized.

Jcally set forth in a speech recently made in Chattanooga,
Tenn., by Floyd Allen, assistant to tho president of the Gen
eral Motors corporation. Because of the implications of this
speech, parts of it are worth considering at some length.
"Ve believe," Buid Mr. Allen, "that it pays to pay good
wages. Highest pM men are tho cheapest men. The pay
envelopo should contain more than so many dollars for so
many hours of work. The worker must feel that he has cer
tainty of employment, and that if he is accidentally killed
his family is to be taken care of if he does his best work.
