Hoss (Secretary of State, written for The ' Associated press) SALEM, Ore. OP) The yeor Just past has seen ft number of import ant changes In the scope of the work of tho department of state, principal ly because of new legislation affect ing motor vehicles. The new speed law which did away with the previous 36-m41o limit, has been universally applauded and records show that by substituting the basic rule of prudent and careful operation of a car for the fixed maximum law no material increase in accidents can be charged to . excessive speeds. ... My opinion of the new law. is that it merely legalizes and gives sanction to the practice of traveling over 35 miles an hour, Indulged in by almost every motorist in tho state. Other, changes in tho nilcs of the road mado bv tho legislature were also valuable from the standpoint o providing unl- formity in our regulations witn out er states. Discusses Exam Law Perhaps the most far reaching of the new laws was the one providing rpr an examination oi persons apply ing for drivers' licenses. Heretofore it was possible 'for any person cer tifying that he wad 16 years old and capable of driving a car to obtain a license, but since the first of last July we have been giving applicants an examination designed to ,show whether or : not they are qualified drivers. This examination tests their Vision, hearing, knowledge of road signs and signals, gives tnem.a orier but thorough quiz on the motor ve hicle laws and rules of the road, and makes them demonstrate their ability to actually operate a car in traffic. From the records we koep our depart inent Is convinced that a great deal of good has been accomplished in keeping incompetent people from try ing to drive, while those who pass the tests are better qualified than (hey would normally be.

' ' HOW TO CHOOSE A DOCTOR Medicine may be defined as the art of preventing and relieving suf fering through means contributed by science. It is almost as old as man kind, crude attempts at it being found among tho most primitive peoples and references to It among the writ ings and Inscriptions of most ancient civilizations. ln;tl,l,U1S.nd.,t It must have begun as an art, for primitive peoples thero was. strictly speaking, no science. . As knowledge expanded into science : medicine evolved, reaching ltq greatest effi ciency among 'those peoples most proficient In the sciences. To those who lived before the dawn of science, to those now living In civilizations into which science has not penetrated and to .those who now live in ignorance 111 cmigmencd coun tries, medicine was and Is n kind of maple, and the doctor a kind ot magician. But to the educated and ; enlightened people of the present day, medicine is out n aepartmenc or sci ence, and tho doctor but a fellow man whoso special education enables him to biiiut practical advice nnd comfort to the sufferer. Whv )u neks Abound "Man Is born to trouble ns the sparks fly upward" but where super stition; ignorance, vice and corrup tion nrevall his troubles Increase: whero enlightenment and virtue pre vail they diminish.

To whom shall he go for cap able medical advice and counsel? Theso questions are so difficult to answer that a great medical teacher of a generation ago used to tell his classes that "it requires a medical education to enable a man to choose a good doctor.

But these things bespeak only one kind of success business success and are tho most used means of. ad vertising and promoting quackery, becauso the quack, being above all a business man and least of all a doc tor, knows tho favorable Impression 'they make.

Why Doctor May Be Nonromttial .rirsE comes tne almost invariable question- by the patient: "What is tho matter with me,, doctor? ,; A few lines In Sydney Grundy's play "A Fool's Paradise" are apropos oi mis. nere wiey are: Patient: "Well, doctor, I can't tell you what is the matter with me. I should like very much to know-" . Doctor: . "Why? . What's that got to ao witn youv;. . Patient: "A great deal, unhappily. Doctorj'Vulgar fallacy. A patient's doctor.' The doctor is right: What possible difference can it make to the patient I wnftt is -the matter with him?, It is i the doctor's business to cure him. Qd always letting him' know. about himself Is not the best thing. . If he ! conceives his trouble to be trivial, he neglect himself; If serious, ne worry himself to deatf. Second comes the invariable de- mand for medicine. The patient may b, agrppably surprised "WJien told that his condition is not serious, he may oo:pieasea w learn wiftt ne win 80011 wen- but he will rarely be either pleased or satisfied If told he needs no medicine. For thousands of years men have been demanding or their doctors, a retisn, an amulet, a talisman, a potion, a draught, a medicine. The idea that there Is something magical about medicines is not yet outlived, nnd the demand for them Is such that millions of dollars are wasted every year on proprietary and utterly valueless mix tures, Blmplv because the -ridiculously. extravagant claims made; for them ore believed by credulous people still under the spell of the mystery. In many ways It is unfortunate that medical work is so largely confi- dential, and is a personal matter be tween the doctor and tho natlent. It Is Hard to Cheek on Doctor The clergy conduct their services in public, and. whether one agrees" with their particular system or not makes little difference for everybody knows or can find out what the system is and with what sincerity it Is prac ticed. Attorneys plead before Judges and Juries, and If incompetent they may loso; their cases; if. they ore no toriously unscrupulous, they are rep rimanded by the judge or even dis barred. But once a doctor is per mitted to set up in practice, there is no way of checking his work or his methods unless some grave crisis occurs, and even thon there must be some official invest Igation md a suit for malpractice instituted- be fore Justice may be obtained and j punishment Inflicted. ! . This shows the Imperative neces-1 stty of making sure of a doctor's qualifications before he begins. Of : his moral character no one can be j sure, but of his Intellectual attain ment and medical knowledge it is easy to be reasonably sure through examinations that he should bo com pelled to pass In order to qualify for the right to practice. Lest any one should say to him self that It Is chiefly on those who are not so ill as they think them selves and who would get well any way that the irregular practitioners fatten, and that those really and dangerously ill are likely to receive treatment at tho hands of good doc tors, so that tho whole matter may be permitted to take care of Itself, It is necessary to add a word of cau tion. The quack eoes not know what are; the diseases, the names of which he sometimes glibly uses, how they are caused, or how to recognize them. . TJnder the misapprehension that they are something else, he sometimes lets thein go until it Is too. late to save the patient; under 1 the rill apprehension that His own newly invested method must work, he sometimes does Irreparoble harm. Dangers In Postponing Treatment Who-has not heard of the danger that may result from the postpone ment Gf the operation for appendi citis? The tremendous reduction of the chances of recovery in diphtheria with overy day. of delay In beginning the treatment has already been men tioned. The medical Journals report many cases in which the ignorance of quacks has resulted in great suf fering or preventable death and also many cases of infectious diseases that have not been recognized until the illness had spread too widely to bo helped. At the present time physicians and surgeons are Intensely Interested in combating cancer and are confiding to the public their inability to treat is witn success except in its earliest Mages. Every one with a suspicious soro or lump Is Implored to consult1 iv competent practitioner in order thnt: tumor. 4t mny be treated while very 1 B claiming to cure the disease "without !

They they begin OlHlyOnfi'More'-Day GDtirt Receiver's Sale Cooti For an antiquated system, long ago abandoned as worthless by the medi cal profession, of local applications that are extremely painful, locally destructive, and often productive of large ulcers that are hard to heal; In no wise does this treatment stay the ravages of the disease. After the quack has done his best or father his worst and. the money is in. his pocket, the patient finds his way to the surgical clinic, to which he should have gone first, but with dl mi nlshed hooe of cure. Or somn simple sore is cured and the patient .a mum- to oeueve tnat it was a can cer. To be certain that a sore or lump Is cancer often requires expert micro scopic examination such as no quack can perform. Medical science has no underlying principle or theory of practice. It is based on such facts as general sci ence has discovered and on . such theories as it employs In the absence of actually, discovered fact. Like gen eral science, it expands through added 1 niscovery ana constantly changes so that what is thought good practice today may, as the result of some new discovery, be replaced by a new prac tice tomorrow. "But," some one will say, "medl cino has such fads." That is inevit able and is the unavoidable conse quence of the Important additions it is always receiving from general sci ence, the possible uses and limita tions of each of which must be clear ly determined. If It proves useful to assume its proper place; if worth less it is cast aside and soon, for gotten. It is during the testing pe riod that the new agent is the lat est fad.
