C. W. llopklna, chief aurgnon o f the Chicago and Northwestern Hallway company. In a paper present td to thn Academy of Medicine on "The Hospital Organlxa tlon of the Railway System." Dr. Hopkins pointed out that many large Industrial enterprises had devel oped Just as efficient departments o f health aa were to be found In the most advanced municipalities nnd sometimes made even greater per capita expendi ture. The railroad physician or sur geon hnd an especially due Held before him, aa the railways were finding tt their duty not only to prevent acci dents, but to prevent dlaeaae from crip pling the efficiency of their armlea of employees. "It la now a well recog nized fact among the managements of the railroad." he said, “ that It la Just as Important to care for their sick aud Injured ns it is to maintain a certain standard of efficiency or perfection of their rolling stock and roadbed." In considering the organization of such work he said the drat considera tion was the proper housing of rail way employees, In order that the man could feel well In the environment o f a home and be free from worry and anxiety. The next step toward effl clency lay in the direction of physical examination to determine the approach of disease in Its incipient stage. "There should be nu understanding with the workmen that this examina tion Is not for the purpose of prepar ing him for the scrap pile." he said, "but for the purpose- of maintaining a condition of bodily health that will materially prolong his working days, together with a higher degree of earn ing capacity and efficiency. "T w o general methods hnve been In use for some years by forty two repre sentative railroads of this country, with the general predominance In fa vor of the hospital organization, where the men themselves contribute a < cr tain monthly amount toward tbelr maintenance. Twenty-four of the for ty-two railroads are today using the hospital organizations, some of which were established ns long as dfty years ago. This was primarily brought about on account o f a certain uumber of these roads running through a very sparsely settled country, where settle ments nnd doctors were few find far between, and there were no hospitals, nnd where It was found that men of ten suffered and sometimes illed be cause of lick of Immediate nml proper care. By a small contrlbutloiij by the mpti they were enabled to receive the proper care by good men and to enjoy the comforts that were necessary to ward their well being, nnd 'Vlth but small cost to themselves. "The other eighteen roads employ surgeons nnd hospitals and trqwt their men for occupational Injuries, paying nil hills for such treatment and care without the small monthly assessment contributed hy the men. There have been many arguments by learned eeon omlsts both for nnd against each method." "The Transportation o f (.'onautup- tives” was exhaustively considered In a paper by Dr. Henry B. Hcmenway of Evanston, III.

Under various disguises Prepare fo “Shed” Your Elk Horns lation of the Law. Marshfield, Or,, July 17-—A decision given by Justice C. L. Pennock here in Elk horn case has caused some anxiety on the part of owners of such orna ments, Pennock found Jordan Schapers guilty o f violation o f the law, and fined him $50 for having in his possession a pair o f Elk horns which it was shown had been killed by his dead brother in 1910 and which were in Schapers’ possession before 1913, when the present law went into effect. Notwithstanding this, Pennock held Schapers guilty because he had the horns. He holds that there is no qualifying clause in the law. It is taken that anyone owning elk horns is subject to the same prosecution. Alfred Bayne gathered 19 pair o f old horns, claiming that he was to use them at the Elk’ s convention in Los Angeles. One pair he secured fiom Schapers. The state game warden has ordered Deputy Game Warden Thomas o f this place to ship all the horns to Portland.

These in vestments have proved ruinously unsound. French money invested in Russia in order to prepare the way for a Muscovite invasion of Germany is hopelessly lost now that that invasion has hopelessly- failed. The condition of the Eng lish joint stock banks with similar holdings of depreciated paper everywhere is no less deplorable and threatening. To cover the failure of such pol icies and in the hope— which, with odds in their favor, seemed a cer tainty—of recouping their for tunes in one final and desperate throw of» prepared dice through the conquest of Germany, finan ciers in both countries welcomed the great war. 00 YOU KNOW # That when Premier Asqiiith said lately- in Parliment that “ rather than sacrifice the cause of liberty, the English would fight to the last drop of bloed and the last farth ing of money,” he meant French, Russian and Italian blood and American money?
