tnade to tha contrary.
"Furthermore, such legislation really
means the recognition of tha dominant
school as tha ofTlclsl school of medi
cine in tha United Elates Government
service.
In dealing with the matter of the
refusal to allow for other treatments
for employee of the Government en
titled to treatment at Federal expense,
the Osteopathic Association enunciated
Its principle as follow:
-Resolved. That we will use every
honorable and legal method to break
the present monopoly in Federal tned
leal service, to the end that Govern
ment employes may be treated by the
method and the physicians of their
choice, thos preserving the spirit and
principles of our freedom Inviolate.

The secondary resolution, dealing
with the state and municipal phase of
the combat against the controlling in
terests la medicine, declared:
We favor legislation for tha ex
tension of CWU Service laws to all
hospitals and Institutions which are
supported wholly or in part from pub
lic funds."
The last resolution falling Into this
genersl croup was a resolution op
posing all laws :aklng vacclnaUon
compulsory.-
Tha converse of the resolutions aimed
against the domination of affairs by a
sinsle school o( medicine, ouoom bt
the apeakera "the medical trust. was
a aeries of resolutions indorsing and
recommending municipal, state and
Federal provisions for the broad ex
tension of measure for tne conserve'
tion of public health.
Health Xnm rrepeaed.
Among these was a resolution favor
ing local and National measures pro
viding for examination of school chil
dren for the detection of abnormal and
diseased conditions and for their
remedy.
Especially Important was th declara
tion that structural aerecta. postural
defects, spinal curvatures and the like
fall properly within the sphere of
osteopathic examination and that this
method should be employed In the
schools for the purpose of detecting
bad conditions and directing them to
the attention of parents for remedy.
The Harrison law waa Indorsed and
It was recommended that similar
measure be passed, tending to lessen
the evils of the drug habit and to de
crease the public use of dangerous
medicines.
f-rehlbltlesi Is lederaed.
Allied .to this resolution waa the
declaration of the stand of the Ameri
can osteopathic Association as In favor
of Nation-wide prohibition.
The association pledged Ita support
to the Children's Federal Bureau In Its
"baby saving campaign" and Ita move
ment to obtains adequate birth registra
tions throughout the country. It also
approved the legislation In the various
states requiring the reporting of
private diseases to bosrds of health
and as other Infectious diseases are re
ported. The Indorsement of the assoclstlon
wss given and Its support pledged to
the Federal pure food movement, and
the work of the bureau of chemistry In
tbie line waa strongly commended.
Wmci'i Aaalstaaee Cemsaeaded.
The work of women's clubs, clvte or
ganisations, schools and colleges for
furtherance of movements for the
welfare -of public health were Indorsed
and the support of the association
and Its members was pledged.
The peace resolution submitted by
Dr. IL Kendrlck Smith, of Boston, was
remarkable Inasmuch as It contained
bo direct reference to the term "peace."
"As conservators of bumsn life." It
read. we wish to go on record as op
posed to the destruction of human life
as a means of settling International
disputes.
Finally, the assoclstlon renewed Its
pledge to remsln loyal to the founder
of osteopathy. Dr. A. T. Still, and to the
principles discovered and enunciated
by him.
Kaaaaa City le tolrtred.
"And we assure him of our determi
nation to possess a (genuinely scientific
eplrit and a purpoee to aeek the truth
and abide by Its teachings and to make
osteopathy transcendent In the healing
art In the ages to come."
Just before the final adjournment of
the convention, the announcement came
from the board of trustees that Kansas
City. Mo.- had been settled npon as th
place for holding the 11 convention.
The competition for the convention
waa keen between Denver and Kansas
City, and up to the last moment gen
eral opinion seemed to be about squally
divided between the two cities.

lie a-asoed with horror and then
made a dash in search of the chief
waiter.
For beside every piste on the table
rested a beautiful Indian cocktail
mixed with especial care and Infinite
art for the delectation of the visiting
osteopaths.
'Heavens, cried Dr. Moore, "don t
you know, w have never had liquor
on this table at any annual banquet
la the history of the association?"
The doors were hastily closed snd
the rallying call sent for the waiters.
When the delegates were admitted to
the bsnquet the menu was In full ac
cord with the resolution In favor of
National prohibition.
But Dr. Moore wonders what became
of ail those cocktails.
"Some one surely must have bad a
good time." he said.

nR.HEXArtiERCOMING
German -American Alliance
President to Visit.
ARRIVAL TO BE AUGUST 16
ConsDicuous Figure at Convention
at Which Controversy Over Atti
tude of War Arose Will Be
Entertained In Portland
Dr. C. J. Hexamer. of Phllsdelphla,
re-elected president of the National
German-American Alliance at the con
vention Just closed at San Francisco,
will be a Portland visitor on August
1. The alliance, of which Dr. Hexamer
Is th official head, numbers 2.S00.000.
and Is organisation that as been
in annual session tor eigni years.
The United German Societies of Port
land will' welcome Dr. Hexamer and
will arrange a programme for the en
tertainment of his party.
Fig-are at Convention Conspicuous.
Dr. Hexamer was a conspicuous
figure st the cona-ention In San Fran
cisco which resulted in his election, but
which also wss featured by. a rather
demonstrative controversy over the at
titude of German-Americans as to the
European war.
At the close of the convention Ger
man day at the exposition was ob
served. German aongs were sung by
the men who paraded through the city,
but the strains of "Detuschland Tiber
Alles" soon gave way to "The E tar
Spangled Banner."
During the week of the convention
a atatue of Beethoven waa presented
to the city authorities and unveiled by
the German singers at Golden Gate
Park.
The convention had the stormiest
session in its history, due to the
sctlvity of the United States in sup
plying the belligerents with war ma
terial. Radical Elesaeat Overcome.
Two factions presented themselves,
and the radical element, which favored
a strict censure of the policy of the
United States on the shipping of arms
to the- allies, wee overridden by the
conservatives, who preferred sugges
tion to demands.
One of the unique events of the con
vention wss the nailing of the replica
of the Iron Cross. Money for the bene
fit of German soldiers' orphans and
widows waa raised by auctioning off
nails that were to be driven Into the
seven-foot wooden cross until no apace
waa left where nails could be driven.
The honor of driving the first nail cost
the man who won It $150.
Dr. Hexamer will arrive in Portland
the morning of August It. Reserva
tion have been made for him at th
Imperial Hotel, and upon his arrival
here he will be taken in charge iy
Portland German-Americana.

street Just south of Clinton, a petition
for the change having been submitted
by Mrs. J. A. Kraenlck. who has prop
