GOOD MORNING,
DOCTOR
One day when I was working at
my first job and was needless to
say hard up, I developed a severe
pain.
A stranger In New York, I had
read in the newspapers the name of
a diagnostician who was interna
tionally famous. I went to his of
fice, which was in his beautiful
home, at eight o'clock in the morn
ing. The waiting room was already
full. There was a rich man who
tugged impatiently at his watch.
There was a haughty woman. And
there were also half a dozen shab
bily dressed folk, Including a poor
mother with a very sick baby.
Without favoritism, each was ush
ered into the consultation room in
the order of his arrival.
Presently my turn came.
I said to the doctor: "I cannot
afford to consult you, but my health
is my entire business capital. There
fore, I feel that I simply must come
to headquarters."
He gave me a careful examina
tion, wrote a prescription, and told
me that I would be all right again
In a few days.
I pulled out my pocket book,
which contained two weeks' salary.
"How much are you earning?" he
asked.
I told him $25 a week.
"Well, if you'll promise not to
tell anybody," he answered, "I'll
charge you five dollars."
In the intervening years I have
become the father of three children,
and my salary has been raised a
couple of times. I have had occa
sion to employ Beveral physicians
and three different surgeons. Some
of the bills have amounted to hun
dreds of dollars. But I have never
received a bill that seemed to me
unreasonable or even adequate, con
sidering the importance of the ser
vice rendered.
I have known several doctors who
married rich wives, and some who
have made money In real estate or
the stock market I have met a
number who gained modest for
tunes from their practise, but none
who became really rich.
And the amount of free work
done by even the biggest man In the
profession has always been a marvel
to me.
As an advertising man and a for
mer sales manager, I feel that the
health business is still too much an
old-fashioned one.
I should like to see dozens of big
clinics in every city, each with its
group of specialists. I should like
to see them use newspaper adver
tising, and draw most of their rev
enues from the healthy rather than
from the seriously ill. I believe that
if we Americans paid twice as much
to good doctors every year it would
be the best money we could possibly
spend.
Some developments of this sort
will come in the next generation.
They are beginning already. Mean
while, I feel a great sense of grati
tude to the doctors. If my exper
ience is typical, they are a swell
group of men.
VOICES
The head of a college of music
has got into the newspapers by an
nouncing thatj the pitch of Ameri
can girls' voices is getting lower,
and attributing this to "yelling at
football games and smoking cigar
ettes." It is much more probable that the
American type Is changing through
the admixture of races, and that the
average American girl has a better
muscular development than her
grandmother had. Physical train
ing rather than cigarettes would
tend to enlarge the breathing pas
sages which affect the pitch of the
voice.
If the change which this teacher
has noticed is general, so much the
better. The high-pitched American
female voice, almost shrill, grates
on sensitive ears. Women may ad
mire sopranos, but most men prefer
the deep-toned contralto voice.
JUNK
Nearly a year's experience with
the plan, adopted by all of the large
automobile makers, of offering a
bonus to dealers for "junking" used
cars, seems to have had a good ef
fect, not only in stimulating the
market for new cars, but in re
moving dangerous vehicles from
the roads.
Ford Is paying $20 for each hope
less Ford car delivered at the fac
tory. Other makers allow from $20
to $40 to dealers for each car junk
ed in the presence of reliable wit
nesses of factory representatives.
The dealer has to find his own
"graveyard" for the wreck, and that
is a difficult problem in some local
ities. Almost every abandoned
quarry and mine has been filled to
the top with old cars. On some of
the undeveloped streets in the su
burbs of New York ancient automo
biles virtually line the roadway on
both sides.
There is a fortune waiting for the
man who will discover a cheap and
speedy way of reducing ancient
cars to their original raw steel.
NOISE
Hiram P. Maxim, son of one great
inventor and nephew of another,
and himself the inventor of the
gunman's pet, the Maxim silencer
for firearms, has found a way, he
tells the world, to keep noise out
of the house even with the windows
open.
The principal use of such an in
vention will be, of course, In the
large cities, where noise interferes
not only with sleep, but with the
health of those who get no respite
from it through the twenty-four
hours. But everywhere there will be
a demand for a silencer of this sort,
for hospitals and rooms from which
all external sounds must be exclud
ed, as well as for places near rail
roads and other sources of noise.
TAXES
One of the things we are going to
hear more about in the next two or
three years Is the proposal for a
Federal Sales Tax on all merchan
dlse, or on a good many items. At
present the Government levies a
sales tax on automobiles, corpora
tion stock sales and some other
things. A few states have tried the
sales tax as a means of raising
revenue. The gasoline sales tax is
in general use, in almost all of the
states, as everybody knows. New
York levies a tax on the sale of
stock.
Advocates of the sales tax contend
that it is the fairest of all forms of
taxation, being based upon definite
transactions in which money
changes hands. Since the war many
European countries have adopted it,
and it ranks second only to the in
come tax as a revenue producer.
Germany gets 15 per cent of her
public funds from the sales tax, Bel
gium, France, Austria, and Czecho
slovakia somewhat more.
Whether our Federal Government
ever tries it on a large scale or not,
the effort to pass a sales bill is likely
to be made in the next Congress.

Service
The measure of Electric Service is as
accurate as your grocer's weights or
your marketman's scales. Every me
ter is doubly inspected before instal
lation. Periodically it is tested to en
sure that you pay only for service
you actually use.
No matter what amount of Electric
ity you make use of, its cost dwindles
to nothingness compared to the con
venience you enjoy through it. Is
there anything that brings you more
at less cost?

"Always at your Service"
the other night as "the man who
has created a new universe." Eight
men, each in his own time, had
changed our conception of the uni
verse, Shaw said. They are Pytha
goras, Ptolemy, Kepler, Copernicus,
Aristotle, Galileo, Newton and Ein
stein. Each of those scientists gave the
world a new conception of natural
laws. Each in his turn proved that
the others had been wrong, but each
of them served the purpose of his
times. Over a period of two thous
and years man is gradually learning
the truth about the world he lives
in. A few hundred years from now
some scientist, equipped with betr
ter measuring instruments than are
available today, may prove that Ein
stein is wrong in his theory that a
straight line is not the shortest dis
tance between two points and that
light travels in curves instead of In
straight lines. But his theory will
stand until somebody finds an unes-
capable fact which contradicts It
That is the way scientific know
ledge grows. Man probably will
never know all the facts about the
universe, but we are learning faster
now than ever before.

Hens Need More Grain
Longer, Colder Nights
As nights become longer and cold
er, successful poultrymen increase
their grain ration for the high-producing
birds, and also vary the am
ount with changes in production,
says H. E. Cosby, extension poultry
man of Oregon State college.
"Styles" in feeding change along
with other methods, and' new grain
is being fed by most poultrymen In
hoppers or troughs instead of in the
litter as formerly. Sanitary factors,
ability to check on the amount eat
en, and great ease in finding the
grain on dark tfaernoons outweigh
the supposed advantage of more ex
ercise from litter feeding, he says.
Between 300 and 400 Oregon poul
trymen are keeping up with the
latest developments In their busi
ness through a radio study course
from the state college over the col
lege station, KOAC, this fall. Week
ly lectures are given on various
phases of poultry raising every Tu
esday evening by A. G. Lunn, head
of the poultry department at the
college. Copies of the material may
be had by enrolling in the course.
