The Value ofCo-operation

Never have those of us here inDes Moines realized the realvalue of co-operation until weentertained the A. 0. A. conven-tion. The local arrangementcommittee met on an average ofonce a week since last fall. Noneof the three have ever missed ameeting and never was there theleast dissension among them.

When a meeting of all thechairmen over the state wascalled, everyone responded butone and there was a very goodreason for his absence. Time andtime again Osteopaths of the citycalled and asked if there wasmore that they could do andwhen the folks began to arrive,every Osteopath in Iowa had hiscoat off and was ready to go towork and those of you who at-tended the Des Moines conven-tion know the results of our ef-forts. Of course we made somemistakes, but if you ever give usthe opportunity of entertainingyou again, we will do our best toplease you one hundred per cent.

Fraternally,H. J. MARSHALL.

FACULTY OF SPECIALISTS

DR. C. W. JOHNSON

In Charles W. Johnson, B. S.D. 0., Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy has as its president ahappy combination of scientist,experienced educator and practi-cal osteopath. His initial train-ing in fundamental science wastaken at Iowa State College,where he received the degreeBachelor of Science, at the com-pletion of four years of majorstudy in the natural sciences.

From his collegiate training C.W. Johnson went immediatelyinto executive educational work.During that period he attainedmarked recognition in the vari-ous educational "institutes" overthe state, because of his directmethods in presentation ofscience and his organizing.

It was early in the history ofDes Moines Still College, at thattime the S. S. Still College, thatits present head entered the thennew science of osteopathy. Hewas a member of the third classto be educated from the school.For five years Dr. Johnson con-ducted a successful generalpractice in northern Iowa, andthen was recalled to the DesMoines school to become a mem-ber of the faculty. He hasserved in various capacities; di-rector of clinics, director of ob-stetrics, instructor of generalscience, instructor of the specificnervous sciences, and was forfourteen years dean, prior to hishaving become president. Dur-ing all these years he has con-ducted a general practice, so thathe comes to his classes andclinics with twenty-seven yearsof experience in the field ofpractice and twenty-two years ofconnection with the school and

DR. J. P. SCHWARTZ

The title "Dean" has comethrough the traditions of educa-tion to carry a conatation of af-fection. The Dean, of all mem-bers of an educational force, ifhe be a true dean in the fullestmeaning of the word, is belovedof the students. He stands asbuffer state between them andtheir faculty; them and theirpresident; and when need be, be-tween them and the public.

There is no other position in acollegiate organization so essen-tially a personal matter, andnone requiring so definitely aspecific personality. The Dean ofDes Moines Still College is anexample of the perfect Dean.Amia"Ty known as "J. P." tonearly all, and (affectionately)known as "Pinkie" to many, Dr.John P. Schwartz came to thedeanship a number of years agoin an aura of student devotionwhich would justify his position,were there no other qualifications-but Dr. Schwartz has many.

If close association with aschool in many capacities is aqualification, the present deanscores there. Having receivedhis degree of D. 0. from theAmerican School of Osteopathy

The 1929 A. 0. A.Convention

It was a great convention.Noteworthy in many ways, disap-pointing fromn the standpoint ofthe local committee in a very fewdetails and setting up new pre-cedents in a number of instances.

One of the newer things thatseemed to make a decided andfavorable impression upon theconvention visitors was the newarrangement of the programoriginating in the mind of Dr.Chester Morris, the programchairman. The plan of holdingthe section meetings in themorning and the general sessionsin the afternoon worked out in avery efficient manner. For thefirst time the members of theHouse of Delegates had an op-portunity to hear something ofthe program and parts at least ofthe section programs.

If any criticism could be of-fered as to the program it wouldbe to the effect that it was toogood and kept those in attend-ance too well occupied. One ofthe few "kicks" registered withthe committees in charge wasthat the doctors did not have achance to visit the exhibitorsenough.

A splendid set of officials waselected to preside over the asso-ciation for the coming year; theHouse of Delegates set up somenew and far reaching policies-inre-education and legislation; theTrustees inaugurated some newand interesting plans for agreater and more practical ser-vice to the membership of thesociety; the OWNA started someplans that will go far toward giv-ing it a real opportunity to servethe profession in a telling way;the AOA took steps to get moresolidly back of the research workof the science. A finer compli-ment could not be asked by anyman than was given to our newpresident, Dr. John MacDonald,in his unanimous election to leadus for the coming year. All inall it can be said that manyevents in the future history ofOsteopathy will be dated fromthe 1929 convention.

The total registration, almost1300, was a disappointment tothe committee, but not a greatsurprise. A number of factorsoperated to that end. The pastthree preceeding conventionshave all been held within a

oatmeal, bran bread, fruits andbulky vegetables such as lettuce,spinach, cabbage, sprout, carrots,turnips, onions, apples, prunes,dates, figs; also orange juice andlemon juice.

Eat bran bread and take someorange or lemon juice each dayand constipation will usuallydisappear.

Mineral oil is serviceable fortemporary use in obstinate casesand has no drug effect. Dietshould be the mainstay in bowelregulation.

Teeth and TonsilsMany serious diseases come

from infection in the mouth, ton-sils, throat and nose.

Rheumatism is caused by agerm usually found in tooth-sacket, or tonsils.

main in your mouth. Have thempulled without delay. They maycost you your life.

If your mouth is full of goldwork and fillings or caps and youfeel ill-especially if you are rundown and have rheumatism-

Eat freely of bread and butter,egg yolks, cereals, milk andcream; also vegetables andfruits.

Sleep out of doors. Get plentyof fresh air. Breathe deeply.

Cancer-any lump, especiallyon the breast, any irregularbleeding or discharge, any sorethat does not heal (particularlyabout the tongue, mouth or lips),persistent indigestion with lossof weight, calls for an imme-diate thorough examination by areputable physician.

Prevention of ColdsTrain your skin to resist drafts

and changes in temperature bycool bathing and cold spongingof neck and chest.

Avoid alcohol and tobacco.Avoid constipation.Use a mild menthol oil spray

in the nose at first sign of a cold.Take frequent doses (level tea-spoonful) of baking soda inwater. Take a hot foot bath,drink hot lemonade or hot flax-seed tea. Take no alcohol.

If you are subject to frequentcolds, have your throat and noseexamined and any obstruction orchronic infection corrected.

Be CheerfulDon't be a grouch!If you can't smile there is

something the matter with you.If there is nothing the matterwith your body the trouble iswith your disposition.

Obstacles should mean nomore to you than an invitationto take off your coat and getbusy.

You can run into debt, butyou have to crawl out.

Appreciations

In an interview with Dr. Gil-mour, the immediate past presi-dent of the Iowa Association andgeneral chairman for the conven-tion arrangements, the editorwas given some facts that are sohighly complimentary to some ofour instructors and local Osteo-pathic physicians that he cannotforbear passing them on.

Dr. Gilmour was very insistentupon passing all the credit forthe success of the big conventionto the executive committee con-sisting of Drs. Marshall, Cald-well, Halladay and Stryker to-gether with the local committeesoperating under the chairman-shop of Drs. P. L. Park, S. H.Klein, Ava Johnson, Mary Gold-en, R. B. Bachman, C. W. John-son, Avis Payne, N. B. Love-groce, J. P. Schwartz, H. E.Samp, J. M. Woods and others.

He said that in all his experi-ence in organization work he hadnever seen a more striking ex-ample of unselfish service andconsistent hard work than thatafforded by these men andwomen throughout the entireyears preparation as well as dur-ing the actual convention time.

The 1929 A. 0. A.Convention

(Continued from page 1)radius of 600 or 700 miles andthat in itself would operate tocut attendance. The early dateof the convention kept manyaway. Large numbers of the doc-tors habitually attend the con-ventions and then go on to avacation following it. The datewas too early for such as these.

In other respects this conven-tion established some all timerecords to date. The list of ex-hibitors was larger than at anyprevious A. O. A. convention andthe income from exhibits alsosurpassed all previous records.This in itself is evidence of theposition of Des Moines as a lead-er in convention cities.

The banquet on Thursdaynight established two recordssurpassing all previous ones. Atotal of about 1100 guests wereseated in the Shrine Temple ban-quet room, this number exceed-ing the previous largest attend-ance by more than 250 persons.Another record was establishedin that there was not a singleafter dinner speech and this fea-ture seemed to be a very populardeparture from the usual custom.

Instead of the customary pro-gram of addresses the crowd waswonderfully entertained in theShrine auditorium by an hourand a half of splendid vaudevilleand variety acts staged by"Dutch" Schmidt, the officialconvention master of ceremonies.Following this the crowd ad-journed to the ball room for sev-eral hours of dancing to splendidmusic.

A very welcome innovationwas noticed at the reception andball for the president on Mondayevening. Instead of the usuallong drawn out handshaking, in-cident to the receiving line, thepresident and his official familywere gracefully introduced to theassembled guests and the pro-gram of music, vaudeville actsand other entertainment imme-diately followed. On a hot sum-mer's night this was a decidedrelief both to the officials and tothe cro.wd.

A tribute to the local commit-tee on arrangements cannot wellbe left out of such a review asthis. The remarkable smooth-ness with which every event con-nected with the program and en-tertainment was carried outshowed the efficiency of the com-mittee. The explanation is simplebut like all simple things it hada background of constructive ef-fort. The background consistedof a well thought out programset down in black and white andthen a very careful organizationof men and women built to fol-low the program through to theletter. There seemed very littleof the usual confusion, duplica-tion of effort and lack of definiteplan evident in so many conven-tions.

The machinery of registration,location of meeting places, pro-gram publications and distribu-tion, entertainment, information,paging, and all such servicemoved without a single hitch sofar as could be seen. A new andvery welcome service was the dis-tribution of the next day's pro-gram and outline of entertain-ment, to the room of every con-vention visitor that could be ]reached during the night. It wasa relief to see at a glance each 'morning, soon after rising, justwhat the outline for the day wasto be. This service was furnishedthrough the courtesy of the Pro-fessional Insurance Corporationand many complimentary re-marks regarding the service wereheard during the week.

The faithful attention to de-tails by the various committeemen and women working underthe direction of Drs. Marshall,Caldwell, Halladay and Strykermade the convention one of real tpleasure and benefit to the ]guests present.

The program of entertainmentleft little to be desired. Begin- tning with the reception to thepresident on Monday night, ethrough the variety entertain- sment staged by the conventionexhibitors on Tuesday night, thereunion of clubs, fraternities and tsororities on Wednesday night, Ithe big banquet and entertain-

Faculty of Specialists

DR. CLAUDE E. SPRINGThe foundation of Dr. Spring's

preparation is scientific. He re-ceived training leading to the de-gree Bachelor of Science at IowaState college. He almost imme-diately took up the Osteopathiccourse as his specific graduateline of specialization, and hasbeen in active practice sincecompleting it. Following a fewyears of practice in Boone, Iowa,Dr. Spring returned to DesMoines and has since shared histime as practitioner as memberof faculty at his professionalalma mater.

Every year, as Dr. Claude E.Spring finishes all work with anyone class, he invites them to hishome for the Annual Springparty, which is equally a peren-nial success. He is famous forthem, as he is famous for hissense of humor, his splendid as-sembled programs, his sympathyand understanding, and whateverit is that makes class after classaffectionately call him "Daddy"Spring.

Nor can humor, sympathy andparties be all that he has to of-fer. For Dr. Claude Spring hashas been teaching Theory, Prin-ciples and Symptomotology inthe Des Moines Still College fortwenty-four years. This is a rec-ord of success and satisfactionwhich must have roots in richpreparation, a wealth of experi-ence and definite ability in pre-senting a subject.

Through this combination ofqualities we see our president ofDes Moines Still College, de-veloping his work as director ofthe school, along definite linesand principles. The directing ofvarious departments must be di-vided and each man at the headmust be responsible. All effortsin the school point to one goal-the best we can give the student.

A faculty which is trained, sin-cere, able and working for theinterests of the student andschool. The continued develop-ment of a clinic organizationwhich will be of greatest benefitto the public and greatest valueto the student; a clinic, thegreatest which the professionknows. At all times organiza-tion, co-operation and the needsof the students foremost inmind.

Faculty of SpecialistsDR. J. P. SCHWARTZ

(Continued from page 1)at Kirksville, Mo., he came toDes Moines for post graduatework, and while completing it,took the position of instructor inbacteriology.

But listing his titles-Chiefsurgeon and president of the hos-pital, head of the department ofsurgery at the college, imposingas these distinctions are does notexpress Dr. Schwartz' paramountfitness for deanship. It is hisclose relationship with the stu-dent activities. They never havefound him too busy to listen totheir troubles, real and fancied,major and minor, and are as-sured of his help. Added re-sponsibilities have not crowdedthem out. Dr. Schwartz is stillgiving the students a great dealof his personal time and energy.And they in return acclaim himthe perfect dean.

Danger SignalsPain is Nature's most potent

danger signal. But there aremany less startling signals that,if heeded, will keep us from pro-ceeding on a closed road until weare confronted with the red dan-ger signal-pain, and forced toturn square around. How fewpersons would consult a phy-sician and discontinue the indis-cretions of eating and other in-jurious habits of life were it notfor the aches and pains that callattention that something iswrong!

We should watch for thesemilder signs of oncoming ail-ments. Any lack of energy, dullheadache, backache, or anysymptoms not fully explainedshould be heeded, and our habits

Danger Signals

(Continued From Page 3)of life so regulated as to prompt-ly overcome them.

Most illness is, in reality, Na-ture's method of repairing dam-age already done. What we com-monly know as disease of any; given name is the end product ofl certain pathologic changes thathave been going on in the bodyprevious to the establishment of

1 disease as we recognize it, and- no doubt many little signals have

been passed by unnoticed untilt we are confronted with the redt light of pain and established ill-

ness.Usually if we stop at the first

Y signal and investigate the cause, we will recognize the fact thatd the bowels are not functioning as

f they should, or that the stomacho is being overworked, or perhaps

P the strain of everday work iscausing a run-down condition. If

I we heed the first warning, we aret surprised how efficiently Nature- will correct the condition. If we

E are in the least doubt as to ther- cause of our symptoms, weLe should go to our physician andLs have a thorough check up. Hed will make the necessary struc-by tural adjustments, and by his ad-k vice will help us to make the:y necessary corrections in diet,)f change in daily routine, so thatle the strain of everyday life willot be lessened.

Morning walks and routineel physical exercise will often pre-v- vent a serious illness. This isre giving Nature a chance. It is soas much easier to keep well than toJs get well. It is so easy, as longer as we keep well, to expect thatas we always will and overlook the

little warnings that come to usrl, from time to time. While mostde symptoms of approaching illnessrs are easily recognized, there aree- those conditions that develop sodis insidiously as not to arouse ourep suspicions, and for this reasonng everyone should go at regular in-nd tervals to their Osteopathic phy-

sician for a complete examina-ry tion. And particularly is thises- true of children and growingelf boys and girls who are prone toou postural defects due to habits ofon play and wrong posture atIf school.-T. L. NORTHUP, D. 0.

For twelve years, Dr. RobertB. Bachman has been the obstet-rics specialist of the Des MoinesStill College staff. Consistentlyand persistently the work in thisfield, which is so signally of im-portance to the Osteopathicphysician, has developed andgrown under his direction. Theobstetrical clinic of Still Collegehas ranged from 100 to 180 casesa year, the closing of the schoolyear of 1929 a new record wasestablished in the number ofcases handled during the year-195 cases were taken care of bythe obstetrical department, andis the wonder and envy of manyof the sister schools of ourscience. This has been under thepersonal direction of Dr. Bach-man for the past twelve yearsof his membership with the fac-ulty. It represents the culmina-tion of years of interest and de-votion to one science, and is oneof the features of attainment towhich the school may point withjust pride.

Following two years of liberalarts work in Des Moines College,Robert Bachman entered DesMoines Still College. After oneyear in practice, his marked suc-cess in his line of specialty justi-fied the Still College board inmaking him a member of thefaculty. Altho technic for fourand one-half years and generalclinic for two and one-half yearshave been included in his sched-ule, it is as the school.s obstet-rican that Dr. Bachman has beerknown. He has brought to hisclasses during this time, resultsfrom an extensive practice thetwelve years have offered, ancthe latest work that the obstetrical literature offers. The Doctor owns one of the most extensive obstetrical libraries in thispart of the country.

Endowment Policy

A subject creating much in-terest and comment in osteo-pathic circles is that of the StillCollege Group Endowment Policyas underwritten by the RoyalUnion Life Insurance Companyof Des Moines, Iowa.

To be at their best our collegesshould always, in a sense, be inneed of money.

Every well-meaning Osteopathwho has the interest of the pro-fession at heart, owes a duty toour schools. We owe it to theprogress of our profession.

There is the need of the Col-lege itself for more funds thanit dare ask of its students, lestit discriminate, and there is thelatent, but poignant, desire ofthe loyal graduate and the out-standing Osteopath to have hisname go down through the yearsas the sons of the College.

The Still College Endowmentis appealing-it has tremendouspossibilities.

The Still College plan is vastlydifferent from any other Endow-ment project we have ever ana-lyzed. Under this plan the prin-cipal recipients of the benefitsgained are the members of ourown families or our estate.

The endowment interest of theSchool is very secondary. A life

The Doctor is also associatedwith the Des Moines GeneralHospital and conductz Clinics in



AVA L. JOHNSON

Miss Ava L. Johnson, B.S., M.B. Sc., H. Ec., member of ourFaculty of Specialists, received asignal honor in 1927, when anabstract of her thesis for MastersDegree was published in theProceedings of the Iowa Acad-emy of Science. The subject ofthe thesis was: "Certain Rela-tionships Between Physical Con-ditions and Physiological Vigor",and in its development demon-strated the effect of the stu-dent's physical condition upongrades, extracurricular activitiesand personality.

Miss Johnson is one of the, out-standing members of the faculty,along with a pleasing personalityand method of presenting hersubjects before each class. Thesubjects taught by Miss Johnsonare Physiology, Dietetics, Sanita-tion and Bacteriology. The sub-jects are brought before theclass in a manner that everymember enjoys and derives agreat deal of benefit.

Miss Johnson spends nearlyevery summer studying somespecial work so that she maybring before each new class thebest there is in literature andtheory of the scientific world.

Miss Johnson also instructs atthe Des Moines School of Phar-macy.

These few brief statementswill convince anyone of herability and the reason why thestudent has such a thoroughknowledge of his work when hecompletes the subjects statedabove.

Denver College HonorsDr. Golden

Dr. Mary E. Golden, osteopath-ic physician of Des Moines, wasunanimously elected president atthe. sixteenth annual meeting ofthe student body of the DenverPolyclinic and Post Graduate col-lege recently.

According to word receivedfrom Denver, where the electionand meeting was held, Dr. Gol-den is the first woman to holdthe position. Doctors from 21states and Canada were regis-tered for the affair.

Dr. Golden's home here isapartment No. 2, McCoy apart-ments, 1220 Thirty-first street,and her office is in the Equit-able Life of Iowa building. Shehas been active in the work ofthe Des Moines Business and Pro-fessional Womens club.

Dr. W. G. Chappell of MasonCity, Iowa, was elected secretaryand treasurer of the group; Dr.I. C. Huneryager of Sand Spring,Okla., was chosen vice president.

The woman osteopathic physi-cian left Des Moines the lastweek in June for an extendedtour through the west and is ex-pected to return in the nearfuture.


DR. B. L. CASH

Dr. B. L. Cash, D. O., anotherof the excellent Still Collegefaculty who instructs X-Radianceand Physio-Theraphy at the Col-lege and is the head of this de-partment at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital.

Dr. Cash is an experiencedman in the X-Ray and Physio-therapy and presents to hisclasses, examples, technic andcases which indicate such treat-ment. The Doctor has a thoroughknowledge of this work from hisexperience and the hospital en-ables him to bring forth manyrare and interesting cases.


DR. H. V. HALLADAYDr. H. V. Halladay, D. 0., the

type of a man every collegeshould have, but many fall short.Dr. Virge, one of the few menwho had the opportunity to growwith Osteopathy. Dr. Halladaylived in Kirksville when the firstschool was started and had thepleasure of knowing and seeingthe accomplishments of the foun-der of this great profession.

The Doctor's speciality is An-atomy-Bony and Muscle. Virgeis considered one of the best An-atomists in the country and is,without a doubt, one of the bestinstructors that can be foundanywhere. His thorough knowl-edge of anatomy gives all thebenefit to the students who at-tend Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy. Dr. H. V. also hascharge of dissections and hismethod brings to the students aclear and wonderful conceptionof the human body.

Dr. Halladay is not only skill-ful in Anatomy, but is a talentedmusician and has developed theoutstanding Osteopathic CollegeBand in the profession. Virgedevotes a great deal of his timeto training members of the bandand developing them into asmooth working organization ofwhich any school would be proud.

Dr. Halladay is in demand byall Osteopathic associations forhis excellent addresses and prac-tical anatomy, which he demon-strates with a movable spine,the original ligaments and inter-vertabral discs of which are pre-served by a preservative inventedby the Doctor and known only tohim. The secret is a wonder tomany scientific men who havehad the privilage of viewing thiswonderful specimen.

The Doctor is known thruoutmany of the large colleges ofthe country for his Athleticwork, including treatment of allathletic injuries which common-ly occur to all athletes and manyways in which injuries can bereduced by the cleverness ofeach athlete when being downed.

Endowment Policy(Continued from page 1

insurance policy is issued inunits of $1,200 at an extremelylow rate, on account of the groupnature. In fact, the annual de-posit for one $1200 unit is aboutthe usual rate for $1000 of ordi-nary insurance.

In the event of death, $1000goes to your family and 200 toStill College. In the structure ofthe policy, if you live for twentyyears, Still College receives $200as an endowment.

It is almost a parodox, but byfar the greater interest in thisunusual project is maintained bythe donor himself, and hereinwe believe lies the strength ofthe plan.

While helping ourselves and in-creasing our own insurance es-tate, we are at the same timehelping build an endowment forone of the best schools in ourprofession. The possibilities ofthe Still College Endowmentplan are so large and appealingas to beggar description, and atthat, it is only a tiny corner ofthe acreage at our disposal asOsteopaths.

You and I have laughed before,We may laugh tomorrow,

Why should we with frowns de-plore

Troubles we must borrow?

There are countless pleasureshere

Never bought with money.

Blended with the sorrows deepAre the pleasures many,

And the richest joys we keep,Seldom cost a penny.

Prof.Gordon is a graduate of Ells-worth College and took post-graduate work at the Universityof Iowa. He taught science inpublic schools of Iowa for elevenyears before joining the Still fac-ulty. Besides being able to pre-sent each class with an excellentlecture, the Professor has an in-terest in each student and is al-ways willing-to aid them in any-thing, since his interest lies inStill College and the Doctorswho are graduated each year totake their respective places inthe field.

From the Field

Word comes from Dr. C. Mac-Kenzie Jones that he opened anoffice August 6th, 1929, locatedat 532 C. C. Chapman Building,Broadway at Eighth, Los Ange-les, Cal.

He shall conduct a generalpractice including Obstetrics andcomplete laboratory service willbe available.

We take great pleasure inmaking this announcement andwish the Doctor success through-out the years to come, in hischosen profession.


Z. A. INNES

Mrs. Z. A. Innes, LaboratoryTechnician of Chemistry, Bacter-iology, and Clinical Diagnosis.Under the instruction of Mrs.Innes, every student receivesperfect technic in all of his Lab-oratory work. Mrs. Innes comesto her classes with a wide ex-perience in Laboratory work.Before joining the Still Collegefaculty, she was Technician inseveral of the Des Moines Hos-pitals for a number of years,where she had complete chargeof all laboratory work and de-rived a vast amount of knowl-edge in this work.

Mrs. Innes believes in absolutetechnic and nothing else cantake its place with her, but whenthe student finishes his courseunder this supervision, he canstep in and do real and up-to-date laboratory work in such amanner that it is astonishing tomany practitioners who havebeen in the field for a number ofyears.

Before each class takes place,there is a demonstration givenalong with each lecture, whichmakes it absolutely clear to eachmember what is expected of himand the results to be obtained.The student derives the 'actualbenefit when he has the oppor-tunity of watching the technicfor each test along with the lec-ture and supervision in eachlaboratory.

In a recent issue, an articleconcerning the WashingtonBoard and two Still Collegegraduates, a statement pertain-ing to the passing of the BasicExams was made from informa-tion received.

We are informed by Dr. W. T.Thomas, one of the examiners,that only one Osteopath has everfailed to pass the WashingtonBoard.

We gladly make this correc-tion and sincerely hope that theDoctor will accept our apology,for we were misinformed in re-gards to the results of the othermembers taking the Board.

We thank you, Doctor, for in-forming us, and would appreci-ate hearing from you at anytime.-(Editor.)

Dr. H. V. HalladayReturns

Dr. H. V. Halladay and familyreturned from an extensive tripthroughout the west. The doctorhas been gone about six weekson a vacation along with givingsome special work at the DenverClinic held recently. Dr. Halla-day is in great demand by everyassociation for his splendid lec-tures and demonstrations inAnatomy and Physical Diag-nosis. The Doctor is now con-ducting the Osteopathic Booth atthe State Fair and through hisefforts Osteopathy is getting be-fore thousands of people alongwith the splendid literature thatis available.

From the FieldWe take great pleasure in an-

nouncing the opening of Dr. L. C.Nicholsen's office at Northwood,Iowa. The doctor has a verycompletely equipped office and isdoing very well in his chosenprofession. His practice consistsof general work including ob-stetrics and minor surgery. Thedoctor would be pleased to hearfrom his classmates and the na-ture of their practice.

Prospective FreshmanClass

The incoming Freshman classso far has the prospects ofbeing the largest class ever en-rolled in Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy.

A number of new studentshave already enrolled for thecoming school year, and the of-fice has answered an enormousamount of inquiries in regard tomatriculation and credits givenfor different subjects previouslytaken at some other college.

With the dismissing of ath-letics from the college routine sofar there seems to be no changein the prospective class. Otherschools have increased their at-tendance after the dismissal ofathletic events and so will StillCollege. Every new prospectivestudent appears only to be inter-ested in Osteopathy and this isan encouraging fact that ath-letics was not the drawing cardfor the school.

The college received the high-est rating of any school of theprofession at the national con-vention and this alone should bethe convincing factor to all newstudents.

Polyuria and PituitaryDysfunction

E. B. Verney, B.B., F.R.C.P.,Professor of Pharmacology, Uni-versity of London, in The Lancetof March 16, 1929, reports theresults of studies made concern-ing the association of polyuriaand disturbances in the functionof the pituitary body.

He primarily directs attentionto the work of Van den Velden,who was responsible for the dis-covery that polyuria of diabetesinsipidus in man could be con-trolled by subcutaneous injec-tions of a suitable preparation ofthe posterior lobe of the pitui-tary body; and since the urineobtained from the isolated kid-ney of the dog resembled in itscomposition that typical of dia-betes insipidus, it was decided toexplore the possibility of the twoconditions having a commonetiologic basis.

Pituitary extract was there-fore introduced into the circulat-ing blood of a heart-lung-kidneypreparation. T h e polyuriapresent was inhibited in a dra-matic fashion, and analysis ofthe urine showed that the chlo-ride percentage had risen to ahigh figure and the output ofchloride was markedly increased.Such changes in water and per-centage of chloride output invar-iably occurred, while every othermeans adopted to decrease theurine flow, such as lowering ofthe blood pressure or the addi-tion of Adrenalin, failed to bringabout that rise in the urinarychloride which is now believed tobe a specific effect of pituitaryextract.

His inquiry next was to deter-mine, if possible, whether thisaction of pituitary extract on theisolated kidney is of any phy-siological signficance in relationto the activities of the normalkidney. Does the pituitary body,through an internal secretion,continually hold in check thoseprimitive instincts in the kidneywhich, when given rein, resultin its reversion to the type ofgland characteristic of the fish,in which power to secrete a urinehaving a greater molecular con-centration of chloride than thatof plasma is absent?

If it be a fact that thepolyuria which gradually ap-pears when the isolated kidneyis perfused is due to the gradualdisappearance of the internal se-cretion of 'the pituitary bodyfrom the blood, it might be ex-pected tlatlthke passage of some


Danger or Safety?By E. A. COLE, D. 0.

It is admitted by all that drugsare largely poisonous; that theiruse as medicine is dependentupon diagnosis; and when that ismissed that the treatment is nul-lified or worse than that, is pro-ductive of harm.

Now the question arises, howoften is a correct diagnosis madeby the average doctor? One ofthe best authorities in Americaon this subject, Dr. Cabot ofHarvard University, says:

"Post-mortens show that thebest doctors miss the diagnosisat least 50% of the time; andthe average practitioner workingwithout the aid of specialistsmust go wrong oftener."

Treatment is often faulty evenwhen diagnosis is correct. Thisreduces the effectiveness of thedrug system still more. Thequestion naturally arises, doesnot the harm arising from wrongtreatment, when the diagnosisand treatment are missed, morethan overbalance the possiblegood when they are correct? Ifsuch an argument holds goodagainst the work of skilled men,surely it must apply with greaterforce against taking drugs, pat-ent dope, etc., indiscriminately.If the first is dangerous the lat-ter must be doubly so.

Osteopathy on the other handis safe. There are no poisonsadministered, and if the treat-ment is given by a skilled oper-ator it will not do harm. By ad-justing tissues to the normal,quickening the circulation ofblood to the affected areas,which is nature's method offighting disease, much good isdone, even though the diagnosisperchance should be missed.Thus the drug system is inher-ently dangerous while Oste-opathy is entirely safe. Drugtreatment that does not help in-variably injures in some waywhile Osteopathy invariably doesits patients some good in a gen-eral way, even if unable to curethe condition for which treat-ment is taken.

Polyuria and PituitaryDysfunction

(Continued From Page 1)of the blood of the heart-lung-kidney preparation through thehead of a dog would result in theblood becoming recharged withpituitrin, and so lead to an in-hibition of the rate of urine se-cretion by the isolated organ.This expectation was fulfilled asthe result of some experiments.

The isolated kidney was usedas a -test object by means of

-which' the blood flowing throughit might be biologically assayedas to its content in pituitrin-likesubstances. The pituitary bodyof an animal was exposedthrough the temporal route andthe urine collected from eachureter until sufficient for pur-poses of analysis had accumu-lated. Subsequent to the re-moval of the pituitary, after alatent period of 50 minutes, pro-fuse polyuria and a fall in thepercentage of chloride in theurine took place-which changescould be negatived by the intra-venous injection of pituitrin.

Professor Verney interpretsthese results to indicate thatpituitrin is contributed by the

pituitary body to the blood, andthat there can be no doubt thatthe copiously increased flow ofurine in the case of the isolatedkidney was due to the absence ofpituitrin.

In diabetes insipidus, accordingto the view of some, polyuria isdue to a disturbance of thehypothalamus, leading to a fail-ure of this part of the brain toregulate the output of water andchloride by the kidneys. Othersare of the opinion that thepolyuria in this condition is dueto interference with the normalfunctions of the pituitary body.Professor Verney made 33 ex-periments in which polyuria ap-peared to a marked degree sub-sequent to the removal of thepituitary body, following an ave-rage latent period of 30 minutes;in all of these an increase in thewater output of the kidneys anda fall in the percentage ofchloride in the urine was noted.Moreover, by infusing slowly asolution of pituitary extract, thekidneys immediately respondedby a diminution in the wateroutput and a percentage rise inthe excretion of chloride. He didnot determine, however, whetherthe oxytocic or the pressor factoris responsible for the control ofa polyuria brought about in themanner described; but notedthat the water passes from thetissues to be excreted by thekidney without producing anyobvious signs of its transit norproducing any detectable changesin the state or composition of theblood. The latent periods notedbefore polyuria appears, he be-lieves, are directly due to thegradual disappearance of the pit-pitary hormone circulating inthe blood.

In associating polyuria fol-lowing water ingestion, Profes-sor Verney believes that whenwater is introduced into thestomach and absorbed, the in-creased load of water in thetissues produces a temporary in-hibition of the secretion by thepituitary body of antidiuretichormone, and the consequent ex-cretion by the kidney of acopious dilute urine which canbe completely inhibited and de-layed for a period of four to sixhours by the intramuscular in-jection of small amounts of anextract of pituitary gland.

Professor Verney graphicallyillustrates the role played by thepituitary body in disturbances ofurine secretion as follows:

Thirst -water ingestion-in-hibition of pituitary gland-polyuria thirst.

Professor Verney concludesthat in man diabetes insipidus isa disease affecting young people,in which a diminution in the re-serves of the kidney leads to adiminution in the antidiureticresponse of the pituitary gland;and he believes that no good evi-dence exists at the present.:timethat the polyuria of diabetes in-sipidus is not due to an inhibi-tion of pituitary functioning.And these conclusions are sup-ported by the fact that polyuriadue to either diabetes insipidusor increased water ingestion can

be inhibited by pituitary extractadministration.

Professor Verney's interestingstudy points to the value ofposterior pituitary hormones ina series of conditions far re-moved from those for which theyare most commonly prescribed.The result of his studies, plusthose of Drs. Curtis and Picker-ing, King's College, togetherwith the findings of Dr. Kamm,who first separated the oxytocicand pressor hormones of theposterior pituitary body, all tendto show the wide application ofthe pressor principle in condi-tions requiring adjustment ofwater and chloride balance.

Research along these lines hasprogressed to the point whichshows confirmatory findings onthe part of widely separatedworkers. Such unison of scien-tific opinion has paved the wayfor rational clinical application;and there is some reason to be-lieve that in a relatively shortperiod of time Pitressin, P., D.& Co., will be widely used forthe purpose of preventing dehy-dration from various causes aswell as for the purpose of has-tening chloride elimination.. Harehas long since recommended theadministration of Pituitrin forcertain cases of dropsy. P. D. &Co., Therapeutic Notes.

"Sick Men and SickMonkeys"

(Continued from page 1ever, there is a slight difference,in that monkeys are almostequally susceptible to b o t hstrains of mammalian bacillus,though deaths from tuberculosisare mainly due to the humanvariety. Little is known aboutthe virus diseases of monkeys,but only in primates is it pos-sible experimentally to developyellow fever, poliomyelitis, andperhaps measles. Other humanvirus infections can, of course,be transmitted to them, but inthese three diseases the monkeyappears to be the only alternativehost to man. Among the internalparasites virtually all the proto-zot of man are found in apes ormonkeys, but it appears to bepossible that the malarias of manare distinct from those of apes.

"Dr. Andrew Balfour drew at-tention to the fact that in SouthAmerica epidemics in monkeys ofwhat might have been yellowfever often preceded epidemicsin man of what certainly was yel-low fever. The evidence, how-ever, is still inconclusive. Cer-tainly here, and in some otherconditions, the monkey has beenan essential laboratory aid, butto the hygienist his significanceis relatively slight. In fact, asProfessor Leiper pointed out,such of man's diseases as arecommon to him and the loweranimals result from food habitsand contact; and domesticationis a much more important factorthan blood relationship."

That apes are not the onlyanimals subject to human ornear-human diseases, appearsfrom the following dispatch from

Philadelphia, printed in the NewYork Times:

"How lions and many otheranimals are subjected to thedeath-dealing ills of man was de-scribed tonight to the AmericanPhilosophical Society by Dr.Herbert Fox, professor of com-parative pathology of the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania.

"Dogs, bears, raccoons, andhyenas along with the lion arespecially subject to intestinal dis-eases. Bright's disease is aweakness of squirrels, rats,beavers, and porcupines. Hoofedand horned animals as a classshow culnerability of the heart.

"The apes and monkeys suffermuch from tuberculosis and in-testinal disorders. On the whole,said Dr. Fox, the animals do notlive out their allotted life spanany more than do humans. Hisstudies were based on 2,571 ani-mals, covering twenty-five years'research at the Philadelphi Zoo-logical Garden."

Eternal Youth Doctor'sHope

BOSTON (A.P.) -A newmethod of rejuvenation that re-quires neither monkey glands oroperations was described to theThirteenth International Physio-logical congress Friday by Dr.Camimir Funk of Paris.

He has isolated the vital prin-ciple of masculinity, or one ofthem known as the male hor-mone, and credited with beingthe effective agency behind re-sults of gland grafting. This ex-tract has been employed thus faronly on animals, but Dr. Funksaid his purpose is to attempt toreduce it to tablets that can betaken in ordinary fashion at phy-sician's prescription.

Vitamin DiscovererDr. Funk has a worldwide

reputation in medical science asone of the discoverers of vita-mins and the man who coinedthe name.

This masculine hormone hasbeen sought for some years andthere have been other reports ofisolation of extracts containingit.

Dr. Funk showed the congresssome remarkable pictures asproof of the power of his pro-duct.

The pictures first showedroosters whose combs had wiltedand whose wattles had shriveledbecause of loss of masculinity.

In Only Ten DaysThen he threw on the screen

a picture of the same fowl tendays after receiving the her-mone extract, and the picturesshowed the combs erect and wat-tles filled out. These rejuvena-tion effects he said had requiredonly a few days compared withweeks for the shriveling process.

Dr. Funk said that clinical ex-periments upon applying the hor-mone to human beings will beundertaken in New York.

Challenges DeathChallenge to the belief that

death is inevitable also was laidbefore the scientists Friday byEusebio A. Hernandez of the Col-lege of France, Paris.

He appealed for formation ofa worldwide scientific organiza-tion to study means to "preventthe phenomena of death."

"Proof Exists"Proof already exists, he said,

that death is not altogether soinescapable as fatalists havetaught. Physiologists possessevidence to the contrary ob-tained by keeping single organsalive after death of the otherparts of the body.-Des MoinesTribune.

Class of 1933

The freshman class althoughnot exceedingly large in numbersmakes up for itself in quality.The new members have startedeagerly and with determinationto master the Invincible Art ofHealing Osteopathy.

The new replaces the old andwith their coming the new fresh-man class brings a fine group ofstudents to D. M. S. C. O. Weare proud of this new class andextend our heartiest welcome.Many of the class have had pre-vious college work which makesit certain that much can be ex-pected from them.

Many of the old students whofound it necessary to drop outfor awhile have returned so withthe registration of old and newstudents the office force has hadmany rush hours. Everythingwas handled in fine shape andthe first semester is now underway.

Effects of the newness is wear-ing away and everyone of thenew students are getting accus-tomed to the routine.

Sophs Lay Down LawGetting off to an early start

for the year's interclass activi-ties, the sophomore class laiddown the traditional law for thefreshmen during the first weekof school. The following day amajority of the class of newcom-ers blossomed out in the mostapproved fashion with black tiesand hose, green caps, etc. As isusual there were and still are afew of a more reluctant natureand it is up to the Sophs to seethat they are "shown the light"and brought to time.

In the past some rather noveland unique methods have beenintroduced for the enforcementof the Sophomore rules and it isexpected that this year will beno exception. It will be remem-bered that last year both theFreshmen and the Sophomoresvied in seeing which could dothe most for the other fellow.If the Sophomores treated theFrosh to a buggy ride, the year-lings could not wait, but had toreturn the compliment beforesunrise. The ingenuity displayedby the individual members of theclass was remarkable and thefestivities lasted until Home-coming, when the annual Push-ball game decided the victors.

From what we know of thesophomores, they are a resource-ful bunch and should be able toput over some good ones, but atthe same time, the freshmen donot impress one as being asleepat the switch. Strut your stuff,fellows! What's next on yourprogram?

Rules for the Class of 19301. All Freshmen must wear

the regulation Freshman cap atall times, Sundays, national holi-days and formal social functionsexcepted, until the end of thefirst semester. Freshmen are notpermitted to write upon or to de-face them in any manner. Thecaps are to be worn in militarystyle, i. e., set straight upon thehead with the visor down overthe eyes.

2. Freshmen are not permit-ted to smoke on the west side ofthe street, between Center andPark streets, at any time.

3. Freshmen may not hold anyclass function without first se-curing permission of the Presi-dent, Dean or Secretary.

4 Freshmen must wear blacksocks and black ties.

5. Freshmen must speak re-spectfully to all upper classmen.

6. Freshmen must learn the"Freshman Speech" and repeatthe same at the request of anupper classman: "Des Moines


BandThe Still College Band was

called for rehearsal Thursdayafternoon by Dr. Halladay. Anumber of the members werelost through graduation but fromreports from the freshman classtheir vacancy will be filled by thenew students and this year willbring forth another outstandingband of the Osteopathic profes-sion and one any school wouldbe proud of.

The band had the splendid op-portunity of opening the NationalConvention held in Des Moinesthis spring and was received bya hearty applause from all. Dr.Halladay received many compli-ments upon his splendid work indeveloping such an organization.

Denver Post-GradOsteopathic physicians from

twenty-one states and Canadagathered in Denver, the first twoweeks in August, for the osteo-pathic post-graduate course ar-ranged by Drs. C. C. Reid andR. R. Daniels, for the sixteenthannual session of the DenverPolyclinic and Post-graduate Col-lege. A good percentage of thesedoctors had attended the collegein previous summers and soknew the quality of work theywould get. More than one-fourthof them stayed for the specialtycourse given by the same collegeduring the next two weeks, in ad-dition to the others who came es-pecially for it. When one recallsthe amount of time which thisrequired them to spend awayfrom their offices and the cashoutlay involved, it speaks muchfor the quality of work they weregetting.

The faculty and subjects givenduring the regular two weeks'course included the following:Drs. C. C. Reid, efficiency andeye, ear, nose and throat; W. C.Brigham, diagnosis and treat-ment in diseases of the abdomenand pelvis; R. R. Daniels, foods;W. H. Gillmore, injection treat-ment of varicose veins andulcers; L. C. Chandler, diagnosisand treatment in diseases of thechest; George W. Reid, solarsurgery and osteopathic technic;F. I. Furry, official surgery; H.Virgil Halladay, applied anatomyand technic; L. G. Cody and M.R. Howard, diseases of themouth; W. O. Hellery, treat-ment in gastro-intestinal condi-tion; D. L. Clark, osteopathictechnic; H. A. Fenner, venerealdiseases, and Jenette HubbardBolles, special lecture.


The Halladay Tour of1929

Local, state and national prob-lems beginning the first ofthe year, putting so much pres-sure on the writer that when theA. O. A. Convention closed wewere about ready for music at 15miles per hour. We know oneremedy for that all-gone feeling.For us it is to get in the wagonand go somewhere and when weget there go somewhere else. Re-peat, presto. Then came thedawn.

Six A. M. July 6th found uswending a watery way northwardin order to hit gravel to Omahaand points west. Six P. M. lo-cated us 408 miles from DesMoines at Kearney, Neb. Campedand hitched our cart to anothertank full of gas and landed in Ft.Collins, Colo., at 4:42 P. M. No-thing of importance happened onthe way except Aunt Mary (ourhousekeeper) got h e r headbumped several tines due to un-marked dips in the road going,through Nebraska. Aunt Mary-made a safe landing in Ft. Coll-.ins and planned to stay there un-til we should have enough bump-ing around. We could pick herup on the return trip of therewas anything left to return.

Now comes the trip. Our firstobjective was Salt Lake City.Leaving Ft. Collins we drove toLaramie, Wyo., and on west over'fine roads and interesting if bar-ren country. Parco is a beauti-ful little town built by the oilcompany of the same name. It isalmost like a page out of fairy-land to see this clean stucco town'spring out of an almost desert.Camped at Rawlins and nearlyfroze to death. Even with plentyof blankets we were cold andthere was frost to be seen in themorning. Lunch the next day atGreen River, a beautiful spotwith immense rock formationsall around. Visited old Ft.

Be careful on that 18 milehill coming into Salt Lake City.It is a wonderful sight to winddown through the mountains formiles and then suddenly burstinto the magnificent valley andsee the city below.

ATLAS CLUB NOTESOnce again the Atlas Club

halls ring with merry laughter,intermingling pleasantly with thelight pattering of tiny feet-when Fedson is not around.Everyone is more than glad toget back and buckle down towork once more.

We take great pleasure in an-nouncing the pledging of the fol-lowing freshmen:

Robert Forbes, Ft. Dodge,Iowa.

Walter Rose, Iowa City, Iowa.Reginald S u t t o n, Pontiac,

Mich.Dick Phillips, Wahoo, Neb.The Atlas Club smoker was

held Tuesday, Sept. 10th. Dr.Halladay was the speaker of theevening and gave an extremelyinteresting talk on the early his-tory of Osteopathy, its gradualdevelopment and increase in size,power and importance, and thefounding of the organizationsconnected with the science.

Refreshments w e r e servedlater on in the evening, whichcombined with the cigars, cigar-ettes and fellowship made up amost successful evening. We areglad to welcome the newcomersto the school, and hope that theensuing year will be both profit-able and pleasant to them.

After an absence of a year anda half, Brother Wire has comeback to us. Out of the land ofbobcats and sheep (Montana, ofcourse) came this Lochinvar ofthe west. Its' certainly great tohave him back once more.

The matrimony bug that hasbitten so many of our brotherslately has at last weaved its spellover Joe College, alias PaulWynn. His marriage to ArdyceEdgington on Aug. 31st came asa great surprise to the boys. Wewish them both every successand happiness.

We received a most interestingletter from Dr. "Ole" Nicholsenof Northwood, Iowa. We werecertainly pleased to get it, andhope that the other field mem-bers will also write us.

IOTA TAU SIGMAOnce again the call of Oste-

opathy has been strong enoughto draw its prospective followersfrom practically all the states ofthe Union, but Ohio continues tohold first place in the house.

Both old and new students re-port a prosperous summer and ifan "Used Car Department" is anyindication of prosperity, their re-port must be correct. At present,the "Lot" contains eight perfectspecimens of ancient history. The"open chariot job" owned byWigal and Spaulding Co., Inc.,holds the place of honor in frontof the "gate" and the proud

owners are expecting a quicksale.

Things seem quite naturalaround the house due mainly tothe fact that "Noisy" Herrick hasreturned and will soon be backin his glory as a "Pill Pusher."

The habitual class sleepershave lost no time in starting ontheir annual records. At present,Harry Kale appears to be a safebet as he has two points to hiscredit which he obtained the sec-ond day of school. Brother Her-rick is expected to furnish plentyof competition if he is able tohold the past he set last year.

Brother Hewlett has adopted anew method of obtaining knowl-edge of the Science of Oste-opathy. He claims that his cor-respondence course has advan-tages unknown to anyone exceptthose "laboring" under his con-ditions. He also suggests that aperson should be a member ofmore than one fraternity so thatin case one pin is "lost" the losercan use the other piece of hard-ware. For more details inquireof Brother Hewlett in person.

We extend a hearty welcome toall the new students and wishthem a successful year of study.

We take pleasure in, announc-ing the pledging of George G.Hall, Dayton, Ohio; Robert F.Happell, Dayton, Ohio, and Rich-ard Wilson, Colesburg, Iowa.

P. S. G. NOTESWith the greatest of pleasure

Deltah Chapter announces thepledging of A. E. Reynolds,Buckeye, Iowa; E. B. King, Mar-ietta, Ohio; B. E. Poundstone,Clarion, Iowa, and H. G. Wilt-row, Fred Hecker and M. J.Schwartz, all of Milwaukee.

We are very glad to see BobsHubbard and Allen back with usagain and hope they may be ableto stick with us this time.

Tiny Lofthus and Dixie Reevesreturned minus their PINS-con-gratulations boys.

Patterson and LaChance re-turned late, but better late thannever.

Grau and Toepfer arrived inDes Moines for the purpose ofbettering the musical talent ofthe city.

We are glad to be able to saythat we are all back and ready tomake this a most successfulyear, even down to the aid of astalwart mascot in the form of"Master," a thoroughbred Ger-man police dog.

From the FieldDr. J. P. Schwartz,401 Liberty Bldg.,Des Moines, Iowa.Dear Doctor:

Do you have any recent grad-uate who has not located andwould like to take a practice overfor three months or longer Iwould like to have someone tocome here and take charge ofmy practice while I go away.Kindly hand this letter to some-one who is interested.

(Continued from page 1ces tried to dive with the ex-pected bad results. We tried thecoaster but it is not as good asthe old one. A shower spoiledour fun at Saltair so we cameback to town and took in amovie.

Pop Clayton advised us to stopat Bingham on the way southand see the largest copper minein the world. We did and saw awhole mountain in the process ofbeing mined. Thirty-one ex-posed levels are visable. Wesaw them blasting and haulingaway the ore and stood within10 feet of one of the big whistleswhen it blew a warning note. Ifyou want to be vibrated all overit's a fine place for that kind ofa treatment. Gilda had nothingon us for a few seconds. Thatbig whistle makes everythingshimmy within half a mile. Thetrip up the canyon is well worththe time without the remarkablesight of the mine. There is onlyone level spot in Bingham so wegot out and stood on it just tosee if we still had our sense ofequilibrium.

We next turned south througha farm valley that looked verymuch like other farms. Plentyof fruit and small grain but ofcourse the corn was not so tall.From Richfield on south we gotinto low hills and graduallymountains as we approachedBryce Canyon. The 18 mile driveoff of the main highway waswonderful. Red prediminated inthe coloring as we wound aroundto gain the top of the mesa, adrive across to the canyon fa-mous for its coloring. Bryce isa new national park and every-thing looks more like nature in-tended it should than some ofthe older places that have beencommercialized to a high degree.Bryce is like many other naturalbeauty spots in our country. Youcannot describe them. They haveto be seen. For variety of colorand oddity of formation Brycewins the prize. We took a hikedown into the canyon from therim and its beauty grows thelonger you stay. Some drive upto the rim and stop a while andget back in the car without let-ting the engine cool and thinkthat they have seen Bryce. Youcan spend a week there and en-joy every day of it.

On the way to Zion NationalPark we stopped at CedarBreaks. This little beauty spotis much like Bryce but smalland rather hard to get to. Whena better road is built there willbe much more patronage. Onthe way to Cedar Breaks fromBryce we passed several fields ofwhat at first looked to be plowedground. Closer inspection re-vealed the ground to be roughblack rock completely covering agood many square miles. Partof the road winds through thisformation which looks as if ithad just recently been broken upand leveled here and there. Someone who pretended to know toldus that it was a lava formation.

"Every summer," answeredGrandma Tuttle, proudly; "everysummer of the three years he'sbeen gone."

"And did he bring his wifewith him?"

A Scotchman found it neces-sary to notify his wife that hemight not be home that evening,in which case he would phoneher. This is what he told her:

"I'll ring you at 6 o'clock.When you hear the bell you'llknow it's me. Don't answer it,and I'll get my nickel back."

"That's her natural color,"said the uncle.

"Is she black like that allover ?"

"Yes," replied the uncle."Gee, Uncle," said the lad, ad-

miringly, "you know everything,don't you."

At Cedar City we stopped forsupplies and to make plans. Alldown the line we heard that theroad to the south rim of theGrand Canyon across the newbridge was impossible, impass-ible, the worst in the world andwhat haven't you. The three ofus went into a huddle and de-cided that no road would bluffus out so the next day we startedfor the North Rim taking in Zionon the way. Zion is different.Instead of clay walls as we foundin Bryce and Cedar Breaks, Zionis sheer rock half a mile high.You nearly break your neck try-ing to see the top of some points.There are many trails after youenter the canyon but these mustbe made on horse or foot andbeing anxious to fight the badroads we hurried on.

THE GRADUATION

The college president called hisname, and when the boy ap-peared

No doubt he thought it was forhim the throng of peoplecheered,

No doubt they thought it was forhim they loudly clapped theirhands,

But they were paying tribute toa mother in the stands.

"Well done, my boy," the presi-dent remarked as he stoodthere,

"I am very proud this morningyour achievements to de-clare."

But the glorious diploma markeda mother's triumph, too,

For that day of graduation sawher fondest dream come true.

Oh, the days of tedious stitching!Oh, the miles of hem andseam

She had braved with aching fin-gers to achieve that singledream.

And I wondered if he knew it,as he proudly walked away,

How she'd worked for that di-ploma and that graduationday.

Denver Post-Grad(Continued From Page 1)

This outline tells its own storyto those familiar with the osteo-pathic profession. In this shortreport it will not be possible, ofcourse, to discuss in any detailthe work done by the various in-structors.

The Denver Polyclinic andPost-graduate college is charter-ed by the State of Colorado andrecognized by the American Os-teopathic Association. It is theoutgrowth of work given toclasses some years ago when Dr.C. C. Reid began to emphasizethe importance of a knowledgeof office efficiency.

"I hope to live to see the day,"says Dr. Reid, "when every os-teopathic college in the countrywill give a course in the art ofpractice-or if you want to callit that, in business efficiency.

"There are doctors who objectto the idea on the ground thatthey are professional men andnot business men. If they couldonly know how much better pro-fessional service they could givetheir patients as a result of prac-ticing the principles of efficiency!

If we could only realize what awaste of energy most doctors areguilty of, and how much bettertheir patients would fare if thedoctors would use ordinary goodbusiness methods in handlingtheir professional work, therewould be an insistent demandthat could not be denied, for thecollege to teach the on-cominggeneration of doctors how to ar-range and manage their offices,how to meet the public and howto handle educational and finan-cial matters."

The fact that so many doctorscome gack for additional coursesafter taking the work one sum-mer is an indication that whatthe college gives makes a strongappeal to them. A doctor can at-tend these classes in connectionwith a summer vacation trip, butthe vacation part must come inother weeks than those duringwhich the college runs. Inten-sive class work this year beganat 8 o'clock in the morning andcontinued all forenoon, all after-noon, and into the evening withthe exception of Saturday fore-noons and Sundays. It is plannedto make some changes in futureyears, so that those attendingwill be able to concentrate on oneor two subjects if they prefer,doing connected reading relatingto those subjects during otherhours of the day and having thefees arranged in accordance withthe courses taken.

At a meeting of the faculty,Drs. Reid and Daniels outlinedother plans for a considerablebroadening of the scope of thecollege, including work whichthey hope to do in the way of ex-tension courses. This it is hopedwill make it possible for an in-structor to give an intensivecourse of lessons to the doctorsin some other part of the coun-try, issuing to each of them acertificate from the college show-ing the work done.

Among the resolutions adoptedby the class were the following:

"Believing that a great need ofthe Osteopathic Profession todayis the application of efficientbusiness principles to the busi-ness side of our professionalwork, as well as the advance-ment of our professional skill,we unqualifiedly endorse theDenver Polyclinic and Post-grad-uate College as conducted by Dr.C. C. Reid and his associates, inthis, the sixteenth annual Post-graduate Course.

"Be it further resolved that weextend this further expression ofour appreciation to the visitinginstructors, Drs. C u r t i s W.Brigham and Louis C. Chandlerof Los Angeles, Dr. Virgil Halla-day, Des Moines; Dr. W. H. Gill-more, Minneapolis; also to Drs.W. O. Hillery and G. W. Reid forso unselfishly giving of their timein telling us of their specialwork.

"Be it further resolved that,we as a class go on record, inrecommending to the profession,the promotion of a finer spirit ofco-operation and an increased re-spect for professional ethicsamong our Professional Asso-ciates.

"We are grateful to the Den-

ver Polyclinic and Post-graduateColege, for the arrangementswhich gave to us the privilegeof instruction from Dr. WalterHarry Gillmore, Nationally rec-ognized Osteopathic pioneer andoutstanding authority in thetreatment of Varicose Veins andUlcers.

"We feel that our entire pro-fession owe a great deal to Dr.Gillmore for his background ofresearch in the field and to hisefforts, and interest in giving hiswork to us. Especially do we asa group extend to him our ap-preciation of his untiring effortsin this Post-graduate Course, inaffording us special clinics andmost pleasing lectures.

"After this experience we canwell realize why all those whohave had Dr. Gillmore hold clin-ics for them speak so highly ofhis ability, in this essential fieldof practice."

The officers elected by the stu-dent body were: President, Dr.Mary Golden, Des Moines; vice-president, Dr. I. C. Huneryager,Sand Springs, Okla.; secretary-treasurer, Dr. W. C. Chappel,Mason City, Iowa.

At this writing, the specialtycourse is still in session, and itis hoped, later, to give an ac-count of that.-R. G. H.

Sophs Lay Down Law(Continued From Page 1)

Still College of Osteopathy wasfounded in 1898 in a reconstruct-ed building just opposite thepresent location. The fall of thefollowing year they located inthe building that is now knownto the world as Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy. The col-lege was founded by Dr. S. S.Still, Dr. Ella Still, Col. and Mrs.A. L. Conger, Dr. W. L. Riggs,and Dr. Helm. It was first knownas the D. S. S. Still College ofOsteopathy but was later chang-ed to Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy. A prenominalgrowth and a faculty of the bestin the Osteopathic world hasplaced. D.M.S.C.O. among thefirst of the Osteopathic institu-tions. I have chosen D.M.S.C.O.as my Alma Mater, believingthat this college meets all therequirements that an institutionof its kind should, and will everwork for the advancement of thescience. I will strive constantlyto carry on the work, and to up-hold its traditions and honor."

Ifthere is anything we like betterthan hard mountain driving it ismore of the same thing. Whatis an eighteen percent grade witha Buick loaded with campingequipment plus a man and twochildren. Some of the gradeslooked straight up but we made'em and passed a lot of carsdoing it. Now here is a questionfor Nebraska drivers. Why don'tyou go out on a race track anddrive around for a week or twofor your vacation? Why will youinsist on driving mountain roadsand getting in everybody's way.Everyone else drives on the rightside of the road and gives uphalf at the signal but nine out often from Nebraska will drive onthe side next to the mountain allthe time. To keep from havingto drive over to the edge of theroad they will park next to themountain and motion for you togo by on the wrong side of theircar. Later on I met Bruce Rossof Central City, Neb., and he andhis wife almost beat me up fortelling that on Nebraska drivers.I never had the agony of drivingbehind Bruce, but maybe he isthe one in ten. There is once ina while one that is not scaredto death in the mountains. Onmy next trip west I am going totake along a bushel of handgrenades and I'll bet the Ne-braska cars will not stay in themiddle of the road ver.y long. Ohwell, we finally passed them andmade a short stop at the PipeSpring. It is an old fort builtmany years ago by the Mormonsover a spring that furnishes onehundred thousand gallons ofpure, clear, cold water every day.An oasis in the desert and aneeded one. Well worth the hardtrip and it got us in the humorfor the harder one ahead. En-joyed immensely by all and werested peacefully in Fredonia,Ariz., that night.

The first twenty miles south ofFredonia is desert country andthen you jump almost instantlyinto one of the most magnificentforests in the country. Tallstraight pines mostly withpatches of silver maple. Thiswinding graveled road maintain-ed by the government throughthe Kaibab forest is a wonderfuldrive. Add to the beauty of thetrees hundreds of deer runningat the sound of the car and avariety of squirrel found no-where else in the world. Bigblack fellows with dog ears andbushy white tails looking morelike an ostrich plume than any-thing else. We were fortunatein getting movies of both thedeer and the squirrels.

Changes in Clinic

Through the efforts of the

two assistant clinicians and the

clinician, changes have been

made in the filing of clinic rec-

ords. In the past the clinic sheets

were filed according to patient's

name, but now they will be filed

under the student's name and he

shall be responsible for such

records. From now on there will

be an improvement in the clinic

form, since the instillation of

such a method will show the ac-

complishments of each student,recommendation will be madewith more ease and accuracy toeach student.

If such cases should want tobe referred to in later years forsome reason, it can be easilyfound and conditions at thattime shown to investigator ofsuch case.

Another improvement alongwith the filing of clinic recordswill be the enforcing of treatingcoats to be worn in clinic andwhen meeting appointments.This is a wonderful improve-ment in the appearance of eachindividual and the effect it playson each patient. It adds much tothe professional appearance andaids in convincing patients thateach member is a competentphysician in whom they can relyupon in any condition which mayexist.

If a student fails to complywith the above requests he shallbe dealt with accordingly whentime comes for recommendationand aid in field. Lack of interestin this method will be a loss onlyto the student, for when suchcases come before him in prac-tice he will be absolutely ignor-ant of routine to be followed outin every case.

The senior class of Des MoinesStill College of Osteopathy arebacking the new changes withevery effort possible. The requestfor treating jackets was broughtup by the senior class and isbeing enforced by every member

The members are to be congratulated upon their decision:and actions being carried outSuch progress not only aids thestudents, but increases clinics iinumbers and distinguishes ifrom other clinics that are novbeing conducted.

I once knew a girl who tooksix weeks in Columbia of workshe had never studied before.Then she came home and waspaid a good salary by one of thecity organizations for teachingit. A frank friend said that mostcertainly was turning brass intosilver. There is no silver in thisarrangement, but there mostcertainly would be brass if I at-tempted a dissertation on Eng-land. For I was only in the Brit-ish Isles five weeks, and as Ilook back on it, most of thattime seems to have been spent

I cannot discuss politics (athing, by the way, every Englishman and woman does do), forI know nothing about them. Ican't speak about the Osteopa-thic-Medico situation; I seem tohave forgotten to ask. I did havea delightful evening with Drs.Mollie Webb and Gladys Cowan,both graduates of this school, inLondon, but our conversationhinged on the personal. Theyboth were keenly interested inthe whereabouts and well beingof class mates and friends, andsent many messages of greetingsto them.

As I cast back thru my recol-lections of the summer, I seemedto have garnered very little val-uable information. I recall somestrange, unrelated things whichsurprised me at the time of see-ing them.

Introduction of FacultyThe band made their first ap-

Immediately after the splendidshowing of the band under thedirection of Dr. Halladay, Dr. C.W. Johnson, president of D. M.S. C. O., introduced the newmembers of the faculty, Drs.Beveridge and Facto. Both Doc-tors expressed their delight inbeing connected with the collegeagain. Dr. Facto explained hisduties as physician in charge ofthe outpatient clinic and the nec-essary requirements from the pa-tients. Next in line was Dr. J.M. Woods, who welcomed thefreshman class and expressed hisdisappointment in not havingthe pleasure of working withthem. Dr. I. C. Gordon followedDr. Woods and gave his personalconception of Osteopathy and theCollege, which was practicalknowledge for the new members.

Does Football Influence

Students ?

From the professional school

side it does not play any import-

ant factor in decreasing or in-

creasing the student body. Since

the abandoning of athletics at

D.M.S.C.O., there has been many

discussions as to the effects it

would have on the future enroll-

ment at the college. Many were

for the disbanding of the athletic

program and many against it.

The majority always rules, so

the athletic program was dis-

carded.The enrollment of the fall

classes was to be the deciding

factor, and here it is; the Fresh-

man class of 1929 equaled thenumber of members in the 1928fall class when football was stillactive in the college. Along withthe new members equaling theprevious year's enrollment, everyone of the members of the ath-letic teams returned this fall toresume their work. These areconvincing facts that such majorsports as football do not act asa drawing card in professionalschools.

When a student enrolls in aprofessional school with the rep-utation that Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy has, hedoes not have in mind the ath-letic side, but the educationalpoint is the important part. Ayoung man or woman who is en-deavoring to become a physicianhas no time to spend leisurelyfor such sports. His time is al-ways taken care of by his work.

The abandoning of athleticsby the corporation board of thecollege has proven to be bene-ficial to the students alone, inmore ways than one. Many ad-

t ditions have been made to thecollege in the way of equipment,additions to the faculty-all forthe benefit of the student body.The money which was expendedfor athletics is now used to makeadditions as mentioned above,when the board sees fit to do so.

The previous facts mentioned1 are convincing to all that the- athletic policy at Still College

did not hamper in any way theenrollment of new students, andit is believed that it will in-crease the student body, becauseof the many advantages it willgive the student, where in the

,past it was nearly impossible, onh account of the vast expenditure

on athletics.

lack of exercise and similar se-dentary factors favor the devel-opment of mineral deficienciesresponsible for goiter growths,"he said. "These factors are moreoften present in the environmentof girls than in boys and as aresult we find goiters more pre-valent in women than in men."

Dr. Sloan offered figures show-ing that during the last yearthere were 1,301 operations per-formed in the Sloan clinic, ofBloomington, which he heads.Of this number 402 were opera-tions on women for goiter and80 for goiters on men.

"Sex is indirectly responsiblefor the predominance of goitersin women," he said. "Every en-vironental factor in our past civ-ilization has been made favor-able to the wholesome develop-ment of a boy than of a girl.The majority of goiters are firstnoticed between the ages of 14and 19 years and the the resultof iodine deficiencies in the body.

"Would it not be a good planin childhood," he asked, "to sub-stitute yearly a course of iodinefor the familiar sulphur and mo-lasses? I believe goiter might be-come a rarity if such plans wereuniversally carried out.

"The boyish girl who lives anactive life rarely developes goi-ter," Dr. Sloan said. "The inci-dence of goiter that appears inlater life is almost as largeamong men as among women,"he added.

The Health ManC. H. Moody

The doctor, from time imme-,morial, has been regarded as asickness man, that is, a man tobe called or consulted only incase of sickness or injury. Whenwe hear a friend inquiring forthe name of a good doctor or seehim entering a doctor's office, wejump to the conclusion thatthere is illness or accident, orboth. The approach of the doc-tor, like that of the fireman orpoliceman, is considered an indi-cation of trouble by thousandswho have been brought up withthis idea. "Keep clear of the doc-tor," is a familiar saying thathas almost become a slogan withsome people.

The true doctor is a healthman-the man who can help youto keep your health and improveit, as well as help you to regainit if you have lost it. He is thepilot who can steer the ship thrusafe channels, not merely thelifeboat man who rescues ship-wrecked folk. And there will bemore good health, more physicalwell-being and consequentlymore efficient, happy living,when we get the idea that thedoctor is an expert who can as-sist us to keep in fine trim allthe time, just like the expertswho call regularly to adjust ma-chines in factory, office or home.

The best doctors concentrateon the study of the body inhealth, because they cannot helpthe sick unless they thoroughlyunderstand health, the conditionlost. And all osteopathic physic-ians are trained on the positiveside. They have a practical ac-quaintance with the body inhealth and strength, as well asin sickness and weakness. Thedoctor who is not thoroughlyconversant with the normal-knowing all its signs and phases-cannot be adept in detectingvariations from the normal. Thebackground of all his work is aclear working knowledge ofevery detail and manifestation ofhealth. And every osteopathicphysician is first and foremost ahealth man.

TheIowa Corn Song was next pre-sented by all, and on the secondchorus the Osteopathic interpre-tation. The freshman class thenresumed their seats, and severalof the recent graduates madetheir appearance, and expressedtheir delight in attending oncemore the splendid assembliesheld every Friday morning.

Dr. Halladay called on Dr.Spring to come to the platformand make his contribution, sincehe was absent when the facultywas introduced. The Doctorgreeted the new members and

of people who came with bowedand bared heads to express againtheir loss which 15 years havenot blotted out.

There were flowers on thetomb of Mary, Queen of Scotts,in Westminster Abbey the day Iwas there, and it has been nearerfifteen hundred years since itwas erected. There were long-stemmed pink and yellow rosesthat might have been boughtfrom the tray of a curbstoneflower seller in The Strand; (atleast, we had seen roses therejust like them), and arrangedwith love, or anyway, care, forthey had never been thrown atthe marble shelf on which theylay. I wanted very much to knowwho had put them there.

On the moat about the Bish-op's Palace at Wells, there areswans which (one hesitates overnot saying who) ring a bell whenthey are hungry. The daughterof a Bishop taught the then ex-isting swans the trick, some 60years ago, by ringing the belland then feeding them. Everygeneration of swans has pulledthe string and waited for food,ever since. We saw four out offive of the birds doing it; andwhat's more, when they had hadall the-bread they desired, theyfloated away. The verger, aclergyman guide, said the otherone was equally as proficient,just, apparently, not hungry;and the verger looked like anhonest man. Now, is it education,imitation, or heredity? There'sa problem for the evolutionists;a problem which makes being afundamentalist seem easy.-(Ava L. Johnson.)

Introduction of Faculty

(Continued from page 1new members. Miss Johnsonwas brief in her welcome, but as-sured all the pleasure she hadin meeting each one, and thatshe would see them all in class,where they would become betteracquainted.

Dr. Halladay needed no intro-duction, because nearly everynew member met the Doctor be-fore classes were taken up. TheDoctor greeted the new class andexpressed his appreciation forthe new members who are musi-cians for showing the interestwhich was exhibited during thefirst practice.

Dr. Johnson again took theplatform and explained routineof assembly programs to be fol-lowed out this year. Every fac-ulty member will be in charge ofone assembly and will choosetheir own speaker for the occa-sion. This will bring a varietyof speakers before the studentbody, and the benefit derivedwill be invaluable to all. Theband closed the assembly withan inspiring march, and every-body departed for class roomswith the Still College spiritaroused within them once again.

THE LOG BOOK


(Continued from Last Issue)We spent one day on the

mules taking the trip down theBright Angel Trail. Mrs. Gins-berg of New York furnished thefun. I could tell you about itbut I can't write it. You do notreally see the magnitude of thecanyon until you view it from thebottom and the trip should betaken by every American citizen.To me it is the biggest thrill.The children enjoyed it so thatthey wanted to go down againthe next day. Too mucha damon. We spent the next dayvisiting the many points of inter-est along the South Rim andsaw the Hopi Indians dance latein the afternoon. At night wevisited the campfire talk andlearned more about our greatwestern scenic spots.

Near Flagstaff, Ariz., we visit-ed Walnut Canyon and spent acouple of hours looking aroundcliff dwelling ruins. There arenot many here but it is a de-lightful spot and on the way outstopped and saw where the statedepartment is doing some exca-vating to preserve what is prov-ing to be some very interestingand valuable Pueblo ruins.

The Petrified Forest near Hol-brook is a wonderful sight. Wehad no idea that there was sucha quantity of petrified trees any-where in the world. We drive formiles with enormous petrifiedtrees on all sides of us anddidn't see but a small part ofthis national preserve. Theranger in charge was most cour-teous and we hope that he willvisit us on his way east this fall.Also near Holbrook you can geta remarkable view of the PaintedDesert. Perhaps one of the mostenjoyable hours we spent wasviewing a collection of animalsthat a Mr. Miller has at the edgeof the Painted Desert. The chil-dren got in the cage with moun-tain lions and all sorts of nativewild animals and we have moviesof them. I think we could havestayed all day but there wereother things to do.

From Gallup, N. M., to Ship-rock you have 86 miles of thefinest gravel road in the country.You can make every inch of it inhigh at 50 per and you want tofor it is nothing but desert coun-try broken about every fifteenmiles by a small settlement witha gas station of course. Don'tworry about getting out of gas.It may cost you plenty but theyhave stations so close now thatyou never have to carry any ex-tra. Mesa Verde was our nextobjective and we hurried to makeit before night.

Two years ago we visited thislittle park and had such a won-derful time that we could notpass it up and never will on atrip west. Mr. Nusbaum, whohas charge of this park is a wonderful host and his rangers areall so courteous and pleasant thaiin a short time you feel as iiyou had known them always

And then there is Jim. Jim Eng-ish is the boss of the horse con-cession. He looks and dressesike a cowboy. Whatever he ishe is one of the best fellows in;he world and will do anythingto please you. We met Jim twoyears ago and just slipped up onhim this time without warningand he called us by our firstnames. We spent three delight-ful days in Mesa Verde seeingthe cliff dwellings that we hadseen before and then Jim took usand showed us some that we hadnot seen. The drive to the parkis over a wide winding steep, butvery safe road. When you geton top of the mesa you can seeinto four states. Don't ever makea western trip without includingMesa Verde. It is the only na-tional park that preserves thework of man. It is different andthose in charge are different too.Charlie Manby of Battle Creek,Mich., owns a half interest inJim and the children and I ownthe other half. We will be gladto loan him to you any time yougo out there, but you must prom-ise to return him in good condi-tion.

Leaving Mesa Verde withmany regrets that we could notstay longer we headed for theAztec ruins in New Mexico. Thisis one of the largest pueblos thathas been partly excavated. Thatnight we returned to Durango,Colo., and were the guests of Dr.and Mrs. Childress. This was amost delightful break in the tripand the hour was late when wefinally went back to the tent inthe camp grounds.

The circle is almost filled in.We still had a mountain driveacross southern Colorado andmade the trip from Durango toPueblo in good time. Stop sometime in Pagosa Springs and takea drink of their hot mineralwater. It may cure you of some-thing. At the top of Wolf CreekPass we found snow and playedaround in it for awhile. Thedrive across the San Luis Valleyis very interesting and you soonleave high mountains havingcrossed the divide early in theday.

At Pueblo we visited relativesand took off one layer of dirt.On to Colorado Springs to renewour friendship with its attrac-tions and to visit Drs. Givens andGivens, also relatives. CheyenneMountain is one of the newertrips and is filled with thrills.Don't fail to make the CorleyMountain Highway drive. Thisis over the old bed of the oncefamous Cripple Creek Short Lineand takes you through severaltunnels. You can easily spend aweek in the Springs.

Having work in Denver madeit necessary for us to hurry onand as luck was always with uswe got an apartment with thesame people that took care of ustwo years ago during the conven-tion there. This was just likegetting back home. Our trunkwas there and in a short time wewere settled for the two weeksP. G. Course. The few days be-fore the work began were spentmaking short trips to various in-

teresting points near Denver, to-gether with a trip to Boulderand Rocky Mountain Park tovisit relatives and be a part of)ne of those never-to-be-forgot-ten picnics. We also took a runip to Ft. Collins to see if AuntMary had recovered from thetrip across Nebraska and foundthat she had planned a picnic forus, more for Frances than forMorry or myself for Frances wasabout to have a birthday.

The last two weeks were spentin Denver lecturing to those whoattended the P. G. Course. Itwas certainly a privilege to be apart of this fine program. We en-joyed the stay and want to goback some time.

We have returned. We hur-ried across Nebraska passingeverything on wheels but thenew Fords. It's terrible the waythose people in Nebraska drive.Whiz along at the breakneckspeed of twenty-five or thirtymiles an hour. Something willhave to be done about it.

We arrived late Tuesday after-noon, August 20th. The StateFair started the next day and thecollege had a booth in the collegesection so we are at work andglad to be back and a part of theorganization again.

We all feel fine now. We arein a good humor which is morethan could be said about us whenwe started. We traveled 6,000miles and made the trip onschedule just as planned. We hadno trouble of any kind that heldus up so that time was lost. Weare going to drive east next yearmaybe as far as Lake Cobbosee-conte. Anyway we will drivethrough to the convention inPhiladelphia.

Mother's Milk AbleTo Destroy Bacteria

Dr. Friedrich Schlaeppi, bac-teriologist at Berne, Switzerland,has experimented with milkfrom nursing mothers and foundthat the milk has bactericidalpower to a very high degree. Ifthe milk is kept at a mean tem-perature this power may be dem-onstrated for sixty hours ormore. Such bacteria as get intoit are at least very much retard-ed in their development, if notactually killed. The milk is evenable to destroy bacteria which donot normally occur in it. Boiledrailk has not this power. Theboiling destroys the milk's germ-icidal properties.

Dr. Schlaeppi has succeeded infiltering milk, obtaining a cleargreenish liquid which containedalbumin but no fat. The germsnaturally contained in the milkstayed back with the fat, but thepower to kill bacteria remainedin the clear filtrate. This wasproved by adding germs to thefiltrate which detroyed them.-(Victor News.)

Dr. C. L. Musselman has re-turned to resume his practice atGuthrie Center after his mar-riage to Miss Dorothy Kelter ofZanesville, Ohio.

Dr. Mac Friend is now takingPost Grad work at D.M.S.C.O.after finishing his interneship inthe East. Dr. Friend is majoringin surgery and also conducting apractice.

Building Up WeakThroats

What can osteopathy do forweak throat?

This question interests a greatmany people. Many sufferersfrom catarrh, tonsilitis, "colds"in the throat-especially singersand public speakers-would beglad to have their throats "builtup" so that they could depend onthem just as much as the labor-ing man does on his good rightarm.

Why should the throat be sucha capricious servant? We do nothave to defer to the peculiarwhims of other parts of the bodyto any such degree. Delicate asare the eyes and ears, they aremuch more reliable than thethroats of the majority of us.

There are probably severalreasons for this condition. Wehave here a delicate mucousmembrane constantly exposed toevery change of temperaturecommon to our variable climate.It is likewise continually assailedby an almost constant stream ofirritating dust and infectiousmaterial such as is constantlyfloating about, especially wherepeople congregate in large num-bers.

A sudden exposure to somecurrent of cold air, a state oflowered tissue-vitality, a bloodstream that has not been prop-erly renewed, all united, causea weakening of the blood supplyat that point. The blood stream,already impaired, becomes rela-tively stagnant. Stagnant bloodgives off ammonia, which is atissue-irritant. The result is thatoften in a few minutes we de-velop a "raw throat" and in thecourse of a few hours a violentinflammation which puts us onthe sick list for several days ata time.

But why should the throat beso peculiarly subject to this con-dition?

AssemblyThe assembly of Sept. 27th

was entirely under the supervis-ion of Dr. H. V. Halladay. Theassemblies of Dr. Halladay arealways looked forward to be-cause of the extra music that isalways assured when he is incharge. The band played severalsplendid numbers to open themorning session.

Dr. Halladay introduced Dr.F. D. Campbell, speaker of theoccasion. Dr. Campbell is knownto many as the Will Rogers ofOsteopathy, for his witty jokesand merriment that is alwaysavailable when he is around. Butwhen it comes to being serious,the doctor can always assumethe role. The address was oncase history and proceedures tobe carried out. Many impressivethoughts were brought forth byDr. Campbell, which will in thenear future be invaluable toevery student. Personal casehistory and interesting caseswere presented by the Doctor,showing the importance of keep-ing the eyes open, and littlethings that will mean much toevery patient. The Doctor is afirm believer in entering everysick room with an encouragingsmile and some cheerful joke todetract the patient's mind offhimself and to aid in betteringtheir mental attitude.

The band entertained againwith a group of infatuatingnumbers, and a hearty applausereturned the appreciation ofevery student for the splendidorganization produced throughthe untiring efforts of Dr. Virge.

The smile that spread overevery face convinced the Doctorthat the occasion was indeed avery enjoyable one, and thateveryone is looking forward toanother opportunity to attendhis entertaining programs.

George Bernard ShawOn Osteopathy

"Meanwhile the vogue of os-teopathy grows; and no wonder.Go to an ordinary doctor and-well, I don't say that one cancure and the other cannot; butI do say that the moment theosteopath's fingers are on you,you know that you are in tech-nically skilled hands. You do notget that sensation from the or-dinary doctor; and you cannotmistake it. You may not be ableto play a piano, but you can dis-tinguish a professional from anamateur."

From the FieldThe following was received

from C. N. Clark, business man-ager of the A. O. A., and we areglad to pass it on to you:

"I am sending you a copy ofa definition which has beenworked out as an official defi-nition to be used in legislaturesor courts or wherever there maybe occasion for its use. It is notperfect or all-inclusive. In fact,I don't know of anybody who candefine a definition of osteopathyin a very acceptable manner. Wehave had thousands of defini-tions submitted during the pastfew years but can pick all ofthem to pieces. This one perhaps,is about the best that we can gethold of.

"We will be glad to have youbroadcast it to the students andit might be a good idea, in viewof the fact that so many of theDes Moines students are inter-ested in this, for you to have itpublished in the Log Book. Thenthey can all have a copy."

THE DEFINITION"The terms osteopathy and

osteopathic as used in this defi-nition by the American Osteo-pathic Association are distin-guishing words adopted by thatschool of medicine and surgerywhich teaches that correct struc-tural adjustment of the humanbody mechanism is the most im-portant factor in restoring andmaintaining normal function andphysical, chemical biological andpsychological principles astaught in the curriculum adoptedand required by the AssociatedColleges of Osteopathy recog-nized by the American Osteo-pathic Association."

The Greatest Thing ThatCan Happen

Service is the greatest thingin the human calendar, and thebetter we equip ourselves, thebetter we serve, because in theexpansion of the mind comes thebetter understanding of how bestto serve. No matter what yourfortunes in life, the greatest com-pensation that will come to youtomorrow or next year, or theclosing year of your life, will bethe consciousness that you havesomehow been of service, eitherto your friends, your state, oryour common country. That isthe greatest thing that can hap-pen.-Harding.

He that can have patience canhave what he will.-BenjaminFranklin.

Alterations Completed atDes Moines General

from this vault, giving no oppor-tunity for fire to occur.

The interior has been newlydecorated throughout.

A new bell call system hasbeen installed, assuring the pa-tients the best of service. Thereception room and lobby havebeen newly built and offer a mostinviting entrance. A new me-chanical operating table has alsobeen added to the surgical de-partment.

Altogether the new additionsand improvements offer the sickpatient a homey and comfortablehospital, where they may conva-lesce in comfort.

Along with the extensive im-provement program of the DesMoines General Hospital, theonce dismal walls of the labora-tory have changed to gleamingwhite, and now vies with theoperating room in "spick andspan" appearance.

The laboratory department isin most instances the nucleusfor successful diagostic work.It is a department that is takenfor granted and unless it is giv-en very careful supervision itsmethods soon become obsolete.This soon gives way to ineffic-iency, which eventually reflectsin the work done by those whodepend on the laboratory for di-agnostic purposes.

The laboratory is fully equip-ped to do all routine clinicalanalysis. The daily routine, in-cludes urinalysis, blood count-ing, blood chemistry, basal me-tabolism, and all the variousother analytical processes. Tissuespecimens from the operatingroom are examined and "run up"into mounted slides, as well asnumerous other essential piecesof work that becomes the dutyof the laboratory to perform.

The laboratory at the DesMoines General Hospital is underthe able supervision of Dr. B. L.Cash, who also serves the insti-tution as Roentgenologist, phy-siotherapist and pathologist. Thework done in the laboratory isof the highest quality. When in-terpretations are required theyare conservative and wellformed. All of this is in accord-ance with the splendid policy ofthe institution, and is one of thefactors which enables the hos-pital staff to render genuineservice to the osteopathic pro-fession.

O. B. Report(Continued From Page 1)

tained. During a period of thirtyhours the students took care ofnine cases in this brief time,along with attending the con-vention. This is one of the in-stances which show the entensiveobstetrical experience that maybe attained at Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy.

There has been an addition tothe 0. B. department within thelast week. when thei Cnrnn'rrpinn

board of the college purchased anew automatic electric sterilizerfor this department. This addsa great deal to the proficiency ofthe members in their steriletechnic and more cases may betaken care of in a shorter periodof time, due to the ease andrapidity of sterilizing the instru-ments in making the examina-tions.

Starting the first of the year,a new rule has been enforcedcovering all hospital cases. Thedelivery is made by the head ofthe department, with explanationand personal attention to theeight students called on thecase.

The members of the depart-ment are to be congratulated up-on their progress and harmony,obtained through vigorous anduntiring efforts put forth by eachobstetrician.

AssemblyThe assembly of October 4th

was in charge of Doctor J. M.Woods. The band opened theassembly with a new sensationalmarch with the the trombonesection featured in several scores.A hearty applause respondedto the excellent opening number.

Following the opening num-ber, Jud Koch played a specialxylophone number, "Falling Wa-ters," accompanied by the band.The number was received withhearty applause, and to pleaseeveryone, Jud featured the trioof one of the marches played bythe band. Again hearty applausebroke forth for more, but thistime everyone had to wait untillater on in the program formore music.

Dr. Woods advanced upon theplatform to take over the rest ofthe program. The Doctor intro-duced Dr. Carpenter, Polk Coun-ty coroner, former instructor ofDes Moines Still College of Os-teopathy. Dr Carpenter's ad-dress was on the subject of "Re-lationship between the Physicianand the Coroner." The office ofcoroner is very important inmost of the states, and especiallyin Iowa, where every mysteriousdeath must be investigated bythe coroner to determine thecause of death. It is his duty todetermine whether or not deathwas accidental or caused fromsome violence. The Doctor dealtupon suicide as being the mostpopular way in this day of de-parting from the world. Manycommit suicide when such caseas cancer and other malignantdisease exists within their bod-ies, to avoid the misery that ex-ists in such cases. Explanationsof many other causes of death,and how they are dealt with,were brought before the assem-bly which otherwise would notbe clear to each student untilthe time would come when hewould have to deal with suchcircumstances. The procedureof autopsy was also explained inevery detail, which proved to beof great interest.

The following questions shouldbe asked in all cases: wheredeath took n1lace. when. cause-

whether negligence or murder.Modes of death was next in line:respiratory failure, heart failure,and coma. Conditions whicharise in the cerebrum last forseveral days, but instant death,such as heart failure, is general-ly due to obstruction of coronaryarteries. In closing, Dr. Carpen-ter emphasized the importanceof harmony between the physi-cian and the coroner, so that athorough investigation and sat-isfactory reason may be given inall cases. The appreciation ofevery student was shown by theenthusiastic applause rendered.It is always a great pleasure tohave Dr. Carpenter as speaker,and everyone receives somethingwhich will be invaluable to himwhen he goes to the field topractice.

The band played another de-lightful number before the nextfeature on the program.

Mr. Stan Stanley was intro-duced by Dr. Woods. Mr. Stan-ley travels the country over,showing how the muscles can becontrolled ,and different thingsthat may be done. This provedvery interesting to all.

The band closed the assemblyin the usual manner with an in-spirational march, and Dr. John-son announced that the morningclasses were concluded, whichwas greeted with a mighty cheer.

Miss Marjorie MartensWeds Dr. Shaw

The marriage of Miss MarjorieMartens, daughter of Mr. andMrs. William Chambers of Coun-cil Bluffs, and Dr. David N. Shawof Shelby, Ohio; took place onWednesday. evening in the chap-el of Plymouth Congregationalchurch.

At 7:45 the ceremony was per-formed by the Rev. R. J. Cornellin the presence of sixty relativesand friends.

THE LOG BOOK

Horrors of RemovingTonsils Avoided

The clinics of the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital were started al-most nineteen years ago, andhave been conducted in about thesame manner from the inception.Practically every kind of opera-tion is performed, including ma-jor as well as minor surgery. Aswould be natural, the minor op-erations in the clinic have beenfar the greater; tonsillectomies,adenoidectomies and circumci-sions predominating. In the lastseveral years these clinics havenumbered about two thousandeach year. This, of course, doesnot include any of the privatemajor or minor operations. Asmany as ninety-six operationshave been performed on one Sat-urday, and it was found that apatient was brought to the oper-ating room, operated and re-turned to bed every six and one-fourth minutes. Even at thisrapid rate, and what seems al-most incredible, the operatorspent five-sixths of his time inscrubbing and waiting for thenext patient. In other words,most of the operations were per-formed in about one minute.

The pride of this clinic is thatthe throat structures after thetonsils are removed are left ex-actly as they were before the op-eration was performed.

Our operation is known as thesnare method and is the best op-eration, we believe, used today.The technique is made just assimple as possible. As a matterof fact, it is always true that thesimpler the technique, the betterthe work. After anaesthesia hasbeen produced, either by local in-jections or a general anaesthetic,the mouth is opened and the ton-sils seized by a special forcep,the tonsil is drawn up, and a pairof curved scissors is placed be-tween the pillar and the tonsiland the blades slightly separated,the mucous membrane is simplyslit; a blunt dissector is nowused to enucleate or shell out thetonsil. The snare is then passedover the tonsil and the smallpedicle squeezed off. There isno actual cutting in any part ofthe operation. The secretionsand blood are kept out of themouth by an electric aspirator.This gives the operator a clear,clean field in which to work. Hetherefore works continuouslyfrom the beginning to the end ofthe operation.

By this technique the patient'smouth is kept free from blood,and therefore the patient doesnot have to gurgle and gurgle inhis own blood, which is the hor-ror of all parents. Parents can-not keenly appreciate this unlessthey have seen their own chil-dren go on the operating table.How the mother's heart sinks tothe depths of the abyss of de-spair when she hears the feebleebbing away of her child's lifein the weakening gurgle of itsown blood.

The Des Moines General Hos-pital staff, :by using this tech-nique has greatly reduced the

hemorrhage. It is the rarestthing that a patient bleeds afterleaving the operating table. Thetechnique developed at the DesMoines General Hospital elimi-nates the horrors of tonsilecto-mies.

Building Up WeakThroats

(Continued from last issue)Change of temperature, dust

and germs, after all, must belargely secondary; otherwise allof us always would be having thesame trouble. The deeper causelies in the fact so often repeat-ed by osteopaths that there issome mechanical interferencewith the nerve and blood supplyto this delicate part. The verte-brae of the neck are peculiarlyliable to slight displacements.This is true for several reasons.They have a further range ofmotion than the larger vertebraeand are more easily movablefrom their attachments. Theyalso have flatter articular (orjoint) surfaces and are moresubject to violent jerks than thelower vertebrae, while at thesame time they are smaller andmore delicately adjusted. Forthese reasons we find osteopathicslips and displacements in theneck more frequent than in thelower portion of the spine.

While those "lesions" may anddo affect all parts of the body,they are especially likely to af-fect the soft, delicate structuresdirectly in front of this part ofthe spine. We find, therefore,that a great many cases of weakthroat are caused by some suchintereference to the nerve andblood supply of the neck.

Correct this cause and thusdrive out the stagnant bloodlodging in the throat tissues witha supply of fresh, active nutri-tive blood and the weak, sensi-tive membrane has a chance toregain its natural tone. Then thevoice and throat once more be-come strong and healthy.

While this may sound like amere spinning of theory it is themost practical kind of commonsense based upon experience. Theworld's most noted singers andpublic speakers are making useof osteopathy more and more tokeep their throats in order. Someoperatic stars have their privateosteopathic physicians accomp-any them so as to give theirthroats the care they need in anyemergency.

And osteopathy does all thatis expected of it in this connec-tion, too, when applied with per-sistence and intelligence. Ofcourse, it is unreasonable towait until an hour or two beforean engagement and then expectan osteopath to put your throatin perfect condition for an eve-ning of hard work. Yet, even so,much relief is often afforded onshort notice. A cure depends up-on intelligent provision, lookingafter the condition as soon aspossible-even in advance of ac-tual need-and as long in ad-vance as necessary to effect acure.

Surgery of Gall-BladderThe technical side of surgery,

that is, the surgeon's ability toperform a neat, safe, quick op-eration, is of considerable impor-tance to the patient. In this partof his work, the surgeon is a ma-chine. No matter how neatly hesews his seams, no matter howdeftly and quickly he ties hisknots, no matter how skillful hisdissection-nothing is requiredbut mechanical ability. Anyseamstress could handle a needleand thread as skillfully; any pi-anist could put the surgeon'smanual dexterity to shame. Someof the greatest surgeons do workwhich, mechanically speaking,does not bear close inspection.Some of the poorest surgeonsturn out work that is beautifulto behold.

The patient is not so much in-terested in how his insides lookas he is in how they feel andhow they function. A nicelyperformed operation, if poorlyplanned, would have been betterleft undone. The patient whogives up his appendix upon thealtar of surgery isn't very muchpleased to later find that his painwas coming from a kidney stone.The man who climbs upon theoperating table to have his right-side hernia repaired is much per-turbed to discover upon awaken-ing that his surgeon has per-formed a most beautiful opera-tion upon the left side. The girlof delicate health who allows askillful surgeon to remove hergoiter is much disappointed andconsiderably damaged to learnlater that it was tuberculosis shehad, instead of goiter.

It is in surgery that surgicaljudgment is of paramount im-portance. The surgeon who mix-es brains with his surgery enjoysa much lower mortality and mor-bidity record than does the sur-geon who just-operates. It isnot how to operate-it's Whereto operate, and when. Anybodycan take his knife in hand andenter the sacred tissues of thehuman body; but it always takessurgical judgment to get out ofthose tissues, leaving them in asgood or better condition than atfirst.

There is the whole secret in anutshell.

The desire for a surgical ca-reer is born in one. Manual skillcomes from practice. Surgicaljudgment can come only as a re-sult of much study and an un-quenchable thirst for knowledge.

All of which is preliminary toa discussion of some of those dis-eases of the gall-bladder in whichsurgery is considered the treat-ment of choice.

If the gall-bladder were athing apart, independent of allother organs, the decisions nec-essary in planning its surgicaltreatment would require no men-tal effort. If the gall-bladdercould be removed with no effectupon the functioning of theneighboring organs-as can theappendix-there would be littlereason for hesitating to removeit when it is the seat of path-ology.

But the removal of the gall-bladder oftentimes becomes aformidable undertaking. Its re-moval is sometimes followed bya train of troubles that provemore serious than the originaldisease.

On the other hand ,a gall-bladder that is menacing the lifeof the individual, whether by'acting as a cesspool of infection,by acting as an irritant to thesystem of internal sympatheticnerves, or what not- to leave itis to court almost certain futuresuffering.

These questions require surgi-cal judgment.

The surgeons of America areinclined toward the belief thatdiseased gall-bladders should beremoved. But all surgeons arewilling to modify this belief incertain cases and to recognizethat the removal of some gall-bladders is not the wise course.

This question arises not be-cause of any desire to save thegall-bladder per se, but becauseof the desire to avoid injury tonear-by organs, which often re-sults following the removal.

Most authorities are agreedthat the gall-bladder is of littleimportance to the life of the in-dividual. It acts as a reservoirfor bile, and in order that it mayaccommodate the maximumquantity of bile, it extracts thewater until the bile becomesquite thick, almost syrupy inconsistency. When the processof digestion calls for the biliaryfluid, the gall-bladder empties itscontents into the common bileduct.

In case the gall-bladder is re-moved ,the common bile duct en-larges and apparently takes uponitself the bladder function.

The accompanying drawingshows roughly the gall-bladderand the larger system of bilechannels, as well as the closelyrelated vital blood vessels, andthe tube leading from the pan-creas. Closure of any one of theillustrated channels (with theexception of the short one lead-ing from the gall-bladder) meansdeath to the individual. One mayreadily recognize the potentialdamage hovering about the in-struments being wielded by theunskilled surgeon who blundersinto this vital area. A stitchor a clamp misplaced results se-riously if not fatally. And thesestructures are not in plain view.the surgeon must know wherethey are.

In the case of partial obstruc-tion in the common bile duct, in-fection is usually present. In-fected bile backs up into the liv-er and into the pancreas. In-flammation of the liver and in-flammation of the pancreas re-sult. If the obstruction cannotbe corrected, it is criminal toremove the gall-bladder, for insuch a case the gall-bladdershould be attached to the bowel(or stomach) and an openingmade between the two, so thatthe bile may be enabled to findits way around this corner intothe intestinal tract. After a freeflow is established, the liver andpancreatic inflammations quicklysubside.-"Better Health."

Band Dedicates Pave-ment

The Still College band, underthe direction of Dr. H. V. Hal-laday, had the honor of playingfor the dedication of the newstretch of pavement that extendsfrom Huxley to Ames, Iowa. TheChamber of Commerce of DesMoines requested that the StillCollege band aid in the openingof the new highway. A large buswas sent to the college, spon-sored by the Chamber of Com-merce, to carry the band totheir destination. This indeedshowed their interest in the or-ganization developed by Dr. Hal-laday. The band made the tripand were joined by a few mem-bers of the Ames band, whichwas placed under the supervis-ion of the Doctor, and severalsplendid numbers were played,along with the addresses madeby different members of thelocal Chamber of Commerce.

The band then returned toDes Moines and played the noonluncheon of the Des MoinesChamber of Commerce, whichwas held at the Savery Hotel.Following the luncheon, theband was honored by the organ-ization with a splendid luncheonto show their appreciation forthe part the band took in theopening of the new road, whichwill aid in advancing the Stateof Iowa.

This proved to be one of themost wonderful opportunitiesany band could receive, alongwith the Still College band be-ing chosen from among thenumber of bands that are avail-able in the city of Des Moines.The band consists of thirtypieces, not large in quantity-but quality plus when it comesto playing. The credit for sucha fine organization is extendedto only two-Dr. Halladay forhis untiring efforts in directingthe band and to the members forthe interest shown in every prac-tice and their willingness tocompete with larger and moreexperienced bands.

The members and Dr. Halla-day are to be congratulated upontheir wonderful progress soearly in the school year. Withthis outstanding organizationavailable in a college of the sizeand caliber of Des Moines StillCollege of Osteopathy, there isnot anything to be done thatwould be too much for everymember.

Be wiser than other people ifyou can; but do not tell them so.-Lord Chesterfield.

On Thursday, October 10, Dr.

J. P. Schwartz, Dean of D.M.S.C.O. and chief surgeon of Des

Moines General Hospital motor-

ed to Shenandoah to attend theDistrict Convention of State Os-teopathic Association.

While attending the meeting,Dr. Schwartz broadcasted overK F N F the famous Henry Fieldbroadcasting station. The Doctortalked on the subject of Osteo-pathy, which was undoubtedlyenjoyed by all from coast tocoast. This opportunity put Os-teopathy and Dr. J. P. Schwartzbefore the people throughout thecountry, making a big boost forboth.

The meeting showed enthus-iasm, progressiveness throughoutand eagerness for further gath-ering for the betterment of eachindividual, and the ParamountScience of Healing.

Presentation by SophsThe sophomore class of Des

Moines Still College of Osteo-patby has made one of the mostprogressive steps in the collegeby any class for a number ofyears. The class enforced theb ying of freshman caps and the1rofit made from them went intothe class treasury. A meetingwas held by the class and favor-able vote was cast by everymember to present the sum oftwenty dollars, made from thesale of the caps, to the band andto be used as they see fit.

The presentation on behalf ofthe Sophomore class was madeby Dave Grau to Dr. H. V. Hal-laday, director of the splendidband. Dr. Halladay expressed hisappreciation for such a fine giftand assured them that it couldbe used in many ways for theadvantage and progress of theband.

This is one of the finesiachievements made by any classwhile in the college and should


Freshman ReceptionThe first social event of the

school swung into line with thereception of the school in honorof the Freshmen and the newmen of Still College on the nightof October 18. The receptionline welcomed all the studentsand their friends to the halls ofthe Hoyt Sherman Place, wherethe walls soon resounded withthe dance music. What a night!

During the early part of theevening, the Freshmen dancedtheir distinguishing and featuredance of the evening, to the ap-plause of the students and fac-ulty. This dance was for Fresh-men only and some of themshowed much experience inhandling their feet on the dancefloor, and many a fair youngheart beat rapidly during thedance. During this feature dancethey were adorned with hatsand whistles for the occasion.Dr. Halladay added spice to theevening when he passed out thehorns and various other para-phernalia to those present, whenthey joined in the dance.

During the entire evening thestudents were crowded aroundthe punch bowl in the hall to en-joy the further generosity of theschool officials in their desire tomake a night long to be remem-bered by the Freshmen, theother members of the studentbody and the faculty of thecollege.

For those who didn't care fordancing, card tables were avail-able and all enjoyed themselvesin one way or the other.

Gradually the crowded hall-'thinned out, but only with thelast strains of the music fadingdimmly away, were the studentswilling to call it a night andwend their homeward way.

Another Score ForOsteopathy

In order to prove that a doc-tor can not only take her ownmedicine, but even enjoy it. Irecently placed myself for sev-eral days under the care of Dr.J. P. Schwartz at Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, telling himthat I was there to test out thehospital for myself to see if Icould safely recommend it to mypatients. I am able to testify toits merits.

One thing that greatly appeal-ed to me was that it is not too"hospitally"-it has a homey at-mosphere about it which distin-guishes it from others in whichI have been elsewhere, at thesame time efficient service andscientific treatment go alongwith it.

I had a pleasant, sunny room,splendid doctors and nurses, ex-cellent food, and above all, cof-fee t. i. d. What more couldthe heart of a patient desire?Those who remember my pro-pensity for that excellent Amer-ican beverage will readily under-stand how this added to my sat-isfaction.

After handling so many pa-tients in London, I feel now likea hen with one chick but Iknow that that "Chick" is onewith me in genuine appreciationof what is being done in one ofour best osteopathic hospitals.

Dr. A. J. Collard PassesBeyond

Dr. A. J. Collard died at hishome in Coon Rapids, recently,after a long, lingering illnessfrom heart trouble. Dr. Collardsuffered a nervous break downwent to Canada to attend thefuneral of a relative. He wasstricken on the way, before hereached his destination. Afterhe came home, it was thoughtfor a time that he would recover,but he gradually grew worse un-til the end came, relieving himof his earthly troubles.

Dr. Collard was graduatedfrom Des Moines Still College inMay, 1917.

Dr. Collard & Collard locatedin Coon Rapids in 1917, suc-ceeding Dr. Allen, another os-teopath. Until Dr. Collard's ill-ness, he enjoyed a good profes-sional business.

Assembly

The assembly of October 18thwas under the supervision of Dr.R. B. Bachman. Preceeding theaddress, the band played severaldelightful numbers which re-ceived a hearty applause. Thenext piece featured the trombonesection in "The Bull in theChina Shop." The increase in thetrombone section has made awonderful difference in the bandand especially in pieces of thiscaliber.

Dr. Bachman then took fullcharge of the morning sessionand gave a very interesting talkon "Sunlight and Its Value toOsteopathic Science." An ac-curate review of sunshine andits uses was given. The use ofsunshine started in 1816. Theuse of sunshine varies in thecases present. The action of thesun compared with ultra-violetis synonymous. It has two phases-destructive and Photochemis.The first use of sunshine and itseffects was in dermalogical con-ditions and its success waswonderful. In using the rays indevitalized patient one must bevery careful not to over-exposesuch individuals. The treatmentmust be given by degrees forbest results. After about onemonth the patient may receivean entire exposure of the bodysurface for about two minuteswithout any serious effects. Thedoctor in closing stressed theimportant factor of using sun-shine treatment in this day andage of chemical elements, ser-ums and air conditions.

Dr. Halladay announced theFreshman Reception to be heldthat night at the Hoyt Shermanin honor of the new class andrequested that everyone be pres-ent. Along with the precedingannouncement, the Doctor men-tioned that dissection wouldbegin October 21st.

Dave Grau, member of theSophomore class, and also of theband, presented Dr. Halladaywith a sum of twenty dollarsfrom the Soph class to the band,to use in its further progress.The money was raised from thesale of Freshman caps by theSophomores. Dr. Halladay ex-pressed his appreciation for sucha fine gift to the band and as-sured the class it would be usedin ways for the betterment ofthe band. The Sophomores areto be congratulated upon theirprogress and example set for theon coming classes.

The band again was the cen-ter of attraction when theyplayed several outstanding num-bers. Next came "Weary River"and everyone joined in on thesecond chorus. Dr. Johnson em-phasized that everyone shouldcome to the dance, because itwas a general mixer for everyone connected with the school.For those who could not dance,or didn't care to, card tableswere available. The band closedthe assembly in the usual man-ner and every one left with theappearance of having had a veryenjoyable morning.

Dissection

The first session of dissectionstarted October 21, under thesupervision of Dr. H. V. Halla-day. There were seven or eightbodies layed out for the studentsto start work upon.

A number of the seniors arefinishing up their work alongwith the juniors. Room for sev-eral sophomores were readilytaken by some of the members.The work is now under way andconsiderable interest is shown ineach member's work.

Assisting Dr. Halladay are anumber of prosectors from thesenior and junior class who havefinished their work. This plangives each table a man who hasfinished his work and is willingto assist those who are now justentering the work. Each memberreceives special attention, if heso desires.

The bodies were in fine shapeand many interesting factsshould be brought forth fromeach body. A strict check is be-ing made on each student so hewill be compelled to attend eachsession, same as attending anyof his class work. This will elim-inate all chances of complaintand undue criticism, which per-chance might arise.

AssemblyThe assembly held October 25

was opened by the Still Collegeband greeting all with a splen-did march, the student body re-sponding with a hearty applause.The next number to be presentedfeatured the clarinet section andbaritone, which proved to be acleverly arranged and pleasingnumber. The feature playing ofSelmar Dahl in the baritone sec-tion brought a great deal of ad-miration from the student body.The following number was an in-spiring march featuring JuddKoch and his xylophone on thetrio. This was a pleasing numberindeed, showing the quality ofthe band. A hearty applause re-sponded, showing everyone's ap-preciation.

Dr. Halladay introduced Dr.Foman, noted physician of Chi-cago, and originator of the out-standing medical review course.The Doctor addressed the stu-dent body on the subject of"How to Study." Dr. Fomanemphasized the fact that if thestudent conscientiously studieshard, he usually attains themost. He stressed the point ofalways retaining the outstandingdifferential points in every sub-ject. Outline your subjects andstudy them under subheads. TheDoctor demonstrated this im-portant factor stressing the pe-culiarities, essential and vitalfactors.

Dr. Foman outlined severalsubjects and carried out his formof studying, giving every stu-dent a chance to see his form oftechnic used. By this he provedthat 75% of every book couldbe discarded because of repiti-tion throughout, along with un-necessary reading. Dr. Foman'saddress was very interesting inmore ways than one. Many wereastonished by the easy way inwhich he brought forth everysubject and the clearness of hispresentation.

The Doctor received a heartyapplause from the entire gather-ing because of the interestingpresentation and the impressive-ness of the speaker's address.

The band played "CreolineDays" featuring again the splen-did baritone section, followingwhich the "American Patrol"was played, demonstrating theapproach of a band in a parade.Far in the distance could beheard the snare drum; graduallythe instrumentation became dis-tinctive, growing louder andlouder, until it reached thehighest point, then passing andgradually by degrees began tofade in the distance, until thedrums were the only instrumentdistinguishable. This number re-ceived an uproar of applause.

On the next number Doctor"Virge" again lost or went backtwenty years of his life whenthe band played his favoritemnarch, "From Tropic to Tropic."Dr. Halladay can relate a veryinteresting event in his life inregard to this piece, concerninga circus. "Virge" always enjoysthis number as it brings backhis early boyhood life. Everyone

Enuresis

The Journal of the AmericanMedical Association of July 27,1929, carries an article on Enur-esis by Dr. Ralph C. Hamill, anoutstanding pediatrician of Chi-cago, Illinois.

The doctor gives a very inter-esting paper concluding with asummary a vital part of whichis 1st, Enuresis is a conduct dis-order; 2nd, It is stopped whenthe child so desires; 3rd, It isof prime importance that thechild should assume responsibil-ity for its conduct in its sleep;4th, All other forms of treat-ment are against the child's in-terests. In 80 cases tabulated hegives a cure in 40% of the cases,the balance ranging from no im-provement to varying grades ofimprovement.

Enuresis is a condition thatoften gets the physician's goatto the extent that he tells theparents that the patient will out-grow it and washes his hands ofthe responsibility of the manage-ment of the case.

It is most true that medicinesas a rule have no influence uponthe condition and the writer ofthe above named article concurs.He says medicines are effectiveonly because the "child is readyto quit." Our personal experi-ence with medicines in Enure-sis confirms his opinion. Thatthe psychological aspect has itsbearing, also needs no argu-ment. Training the child to as-sume that bodily responsibility itconsistent and must of necessitybear good fruit.

To my notion the doctor goesto far when he says, "All otheiforms of treatment are againstthe child's interest." From theviewpoint of the Allopathi<School of practice we couldcheerfully say "Amen" to it, bulwe wonder how such a state

At the meeting of the Corpo-ration Board held Monday night,November 4th, at the collegebuilding, the members voted togive a fine amount for the pur-chase of uniforms for the band.

This will aid in the advancingof the band when they makesome more of their public ap-pearances, which lately havebeen frequent. The band con-sists of thirty members, all stu-dents of Still College, and is oneof the finest bands in the city ofDes Moines and outstanding inthe professional schools.

The band makes its appear-ance every Friday morning inthe assembly and features sever-al splendid numbers, which re-ceive hearty applause from allthose in attendance. The bandwill play at the American Insti-tute the 15th of November fortheir gathering and assemblyprogram, and in return some oftheir members will appear at thecollege in the near future to en-tertain the student body.

The uniforms will be the prop-erty of each member, and whenhe graduates he will have theuniform as a remembrance andsouvenir of his part in the bandand the good times enjoyed onits appearances before differentorganizations in and about thecity.

The band has made the fol-lowing important appearancessince the opening of the schoolyear: the Food Show, Dedicatingthe New Pavement, Chamber ofCommerce of Des Moines, Har-vest Jubilee, besides being thefeature musical organization atthe national convention lastspring.

This will be one of the mostvaluable aids to the band, andthe Trustees of the college areto be congratulated upon theirdecision in favor of the band,which shows their interest in thissplendid organization of D. M.S. C. O.

Suddenly

The death of Dr. L. V. An- tdrews of Algona, Iowa, comes as 2a great shock to every member iof the osteopathic profession. sDr. Andrews was president of theIowa Osteopathic Associationand was on his way to attend rthe 1st District Convention atCedar Rapids when he suc-cumbed to a heart attack.

Dr. Andrews was a very active ]man in the osteopathic profes- 1sion and for this reason waschosen to lead the Iowa associa- 1tion for the coming period. l

It is with a great deal of sor-row and regret that this newsof the death of the Doctorcomes to us. The funeral ser-vices were held at Perry, Iowa,November 7, 1929.

Senior A's Entertained

On the evening of November5, the Senior A class was veryably entertained by the DoctorsSchwartz and Halladay at thehome of the latter.

Dr. Halladay screened the

film, "The 1929 Halladay Tour",which consisted of the trip heand his family made this sum-mer through several western

states. We thoroughly enjoyed itand envy the Doctor possessing

such a valuable film.After showing this film and

,several others which the Doctorhas, Dr. Schwartz served a verydelightful lunch. We certainlydidn't realize that he was quitethe chef that he proved to be.

Dr. Foman who was presentas a guest, related some very

-interesting facts about variousexperiences he has had in Eur-

1 ope. We thought for awhile we. were going to see another wager- between Drs. Halladay and Fo-e man, but we hope to hear morep of it in the future.

The party adjourned about11:30 p. m. and we left feeling

- very grateful to our hosts forY the pleasant evening which we

had enjoyed.

Our Summer Clinics

D.M.S.C.O. offers to its student)ody a most valuable asset inhe form of its summer clinics.At this time the work is as var- ted as at any time during the xschool year.

The few students who re-nained here during the summermonths found that there was noworrying to be done as towhether enough patients wereon the list to keep them busy.Eight o'clock each morning us-ually found the students at workand usually they were busy un-til the building closed that eve-ning. 1

The type of cases treatedwere varied, giving valuable ex-perience with acute work as well ias the work which was less in-teresting. Many unusual caseswere in the clinics, some whichare seldom seen, such as Pagetsdisease.

For those interested in ob-stetrical work, our clinics wereoractically the last word. Ourworry was not whether wecould get cases but when wewere going to get a little sleep.Many of the cases were normalof course but we also had severalcases which were of particularvalue to us. Among these wereforceps deliveries, breech pre-sentations, Placenta previa, pre-mature labors and abortions.During the summer months aswell as during the school year,Dr. R. B. Bachman was alwayson the job, should we need hisassistance. Several times wewere able to be on cases withhim and learn from one who hashad years of experience. Had Igot no other work, I would havefelt well paid for my summer'swork, by obsterical experiencealone.

Three times a week we weregiven the opportunity to improveand learn hospital technique byassisting in the surgery clinic ofDes Moines General Hospital.The operations by Drs. Schwartzand Marshall were varied andmany of unusual interest, espec-ially the majors which are neverseen by the students during theschool year, unless it be a clin-ical case. In addition to watchingthe regular staff physicians, weobserved the work of such menas Drs. Ruddy, Edwards, Lari-more who come here to demon-strate technique, also for post-graduate work.

Dr. Johnson remained with usduring the entire summer to as-sist us in diagnosis and treat-ment. Dr. Johnson also conduct-ed the regular clinics held thru-


Attends Post-GraduateCourse

Dr. H. J. Marshall has re-turned from St. Joseph, Mo.,vhere he attended the Eye, Ear,Nose and Throat course underthe direction of Drs. Walker andReid. Dr. Marshall lectured onEye, Ear, Nose and Throat, ex-amined patients and operatedupon twenty cases. During theDoctor's time there he examinedforty cases and operated on halfof them. The report on the hos-pital was splendid, it will ac-commodate about thirty-five pa-tients and is an up-to-date insti-tutuion in every way.

While the session was goingin full swing, Dr. Walker honor-ed all present with a splendidbanquet which was immenselyenjoyed by all. During one of theafternoons while in St. Josephthe Doctor had the pleasure ofseeing the Ford Tour leave theairport for Des Moines, whichwas indeed a wonderful sightfor every one to witness.

During the recess many wereinvited to inspect the SavannahHospital for cancer. This provedto be very interesting because ofits equipment which is all elec-tric and up-to-date in every re-spect. Dr. Walker is in connec-tion with this splendid hospital.

Dr. Marshall then left forKansas City and on to MexicoCity, Mo., where he met hismother and started back for DesMoines. On the return trip toDes Moines a short stop wasmade at Kirksville and then thejourney was resumed homeward.The course proved to be progres-sive, interesting and showed theenthusiasm that exists amongthe Eye, Ear, Nose and Throatspecialists.

ATLAS CLUBOn Saturday, Nov. 2, we held

our second dance of the year. Itwas a "hard time" party, butno one seemed to have a hardtime getting along. The boyshad the house decorated to per-fection according to the trueHallowe'en traditions. The mu-sic was all that could be desiredand we had all day Sunday tosleep. We congratulate the com-mittee in charge for their con-scientious work in making theparty a success.

Pledge Sutton undertook tostage an "ape scene" betweendances and certainly lookednatural. Maybe we can solve this"missing link" problem yet.

Dr. Halladay and Francis Hal-laday were our honored guests.We are sorry that more of ourfield members were unable tocome.

Chris Fedson, John Anderson,Ken Moore and "Cupie" Rosemotored to Iowa City for theIowa-Minnesota game. From allaccounts they must have had awonderful time. Too bad we'renot all "rich people."

Don Hughes is the championcar owner of the club this fall.Three cars in two months is hisrecord. He is now the proud po-sessor of a beautiful Nash Open-Coupe-Sedan. It has all the verylatest sport lines, but it's thepaint job that really makes thecar.

We take pleasure in announc-ing the marriage of Elsie Max-son, Ames, Iowa, to Bro. LarryBoatman on Saturday, Nov. 2.We wish them every happiness.

Bro. Skinner looks mightysweet these days.

We cordially invite any fieldmembers to visit us at any timeand we would appreciate a letterfrom you.

IOTA TAU SIGMAAlthough it is a little late to

report on a Hallowe'en party,this is our first opportunity to doso, and we want our alumna andfield men to know that we didnot neglect staging this annualaffair.

The house was decorated in anappropriate manner. Pumpkins,corn, leaves, etc., were used tochange the atmosphere and thesegreatly added to the informalityof the party.

"Hard Time" costumes wereworn by all and much originalitywas shown in the various last-minute combinations of "Eve-ning Dress Suits."

The informality of the occas-ion, plus a good five-piece or-chestra, made the party themost successful and enjoyableone of the year.

The latest addition to our

house furniture is a new Victorcombination radio and Victrola.We are proud of our new musi-cal instrument and look forwardto spending many of the coldwinter nights at home and enjoy-ing entertainment from distantparts of the country.

The sick list has suddenly in-creased. Bro. Lester Nowlin hadhis tonsils removed and waswilling to remain in bed for acouple of days.

Pledge Happel has been suffer-ing from a severe attack of ton-silitis and adenitis. His condi-tion is improving slowly butsatisfactorily.

SIGMA CHI OMEGA(Harold Kinney)

Judging by the absence of ar-ticles in the previous numbersof the Log Book, concerningSigma Chi Omega, no doubt ourformer members now in the fieldhave assumed that the organiza-tion has ceased to function.However, this is not true, for weare very much alive and every-thing is running smoothly, ex-cept possibly the reporter forthe Log Book, who wishes toapologize for his delinquency inthis matter.

To review briefly our doingssince the beginning of thisschool year, we will go back tothe first meeting in September,which was devoted to organiza-tion and installation of officers.The next meeting was in theform of a reception for the newstudents and Dr. Johnson wasthe speaker for the occasion. Asusual, his talk was very benefic-ial to old and new students,alike. The remainder of the eve-ning was given over to variouskinds of entertainment and goodfellowship. Our next functionwas in the nature of a wienerbake held in Grand View park.As our guest on this occasion wehad Dr. Facto, a new member ofthe faculty. A good time was hadby all present.

Our regular meetings havebeen well attended and goodspeakers have been provided,who have given us discoursesalong many and various lines,which shall prove of value to usas practitioners.

Brother Dahl, who is chair-man of the program committee,is to be praised for his goodwork along this line. He certain-ly always on the job and neverfails to have something interest-ing arranged.

Our meetings are held at theY. M. C. A. every other Mondaynight and we extend to all stu-dents who might be interested,an invitation to attend.

Assembly

The assembly of Nov. 8th wasunder the direction of Dr. Bever-idge, one of the new members ofthe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy faculty. The bandopened the assembly with severalpopular numbers which receiveda hearty applause from everyone present.

Dr. Beveridge then introducedthe University of Commercequartet under the direction ofMr. Smith. The quartet sangseveral enjoyable numbers, suchas "Old Pal" and "Mighty Likea Rose". The quartet received amighty applause and returned tosing an encore for the splendidapplause that they received fortheir entertainment.

Dr. Beveridge then introducedthe speaker of the occasion, Mr.Ranson, representative of theHarrower Laboratory of Glen-dale, California. The history oflaboratory started about twentyyears ago by Dr. Harrower, for-mer instructor at Loyola univer-sity in Chicago. The laboratoryspecialty is Endocrine secretionsfrom which the source comesfrom the big packing houseswhere the ductless glands areremoved and kept in cool storageexcept the stomach and spleen,which are frozen. The productsare then shipped to the labora-tory in special cars where theyfirst enter the control room. Theproceedure of the control roomis to determine the organs so nomistake will be made in thefinished products. The productsare then defatted without anyloss of the vital parts and dried.Pulverizing is followed throughfive stages, then returned to thecontrol room for rechecking.

Osteopathy and glandulartherapy are claimed to be handin hand and in many cases theglandular therapy can be elimi-nated by the osteopathic treat-ment.

The assembly proved to be ofmuch interest to every one andan enjoyable morning was hadby all. Dr. Halladay announcedthat new uniforms for the bandwould be soon taken care of, dueto the good will and interest ofthe Corporate Board of the col-lege, who have set aside a sumof money for the purchasing ofsuch uniforms.

Scientific, Economic,Effective

The science of osteopathyoffers a new, effective service toincrease efficiency in any indus-try, helping to meet the exactingdemands of modern competition.

The industrial and insuranceworlds are rapidly recognizingthe economic value of osteop-athy. Steel plants, railroads andfactories all over the country arebeginning to test out the practi-cal value of osteopathic serviceamong their employees. Insur-ance companies are acknowledg-ing the benefits gained by thisservice.

The superintendent of an acci-dent and health insurance com-pany said to his men: "Osteo-pathy has saved us not hundredsof dollars but hundreds of thous-ands because in cases of simplecolds or flu or pneumonia, oraccidents, we get them to theosteopath at once and most ofthem are soon back on the joband long illnesses with dangerand complications are usuallyavoided."

The cost of full or part timeservices of the osteopathic physi-cian is of small consideration incomparison to the inefficiency orlost time of employees. The os-teopathic physician soon learnsthe innate causes of disability inany organization, checks un-necessary and potential hazards,fortifies employees of low vital-ity, corrects faulty habits ofliving, removes underlying caus-es of disability and in a veryreal and practical way reducesinefficiency and the toll of com-pensation.

Investigate industrial osteo-pathic service. It offers a meansof conserving continuously thehealth of industrial workers andthereby increasing materially theefficiency of any industrial or-ganization.

AssemblyThe band opened the assembly

of November 1st, under the di-rection of H. V. Halladay. Sev-eral splendid numbers were of-fered. Mrs. Innes presided overthe morning's gathering, andpresented the program in theform of radio schedule. Thebroadcasting started at nine-for-ty-five announcing station SCO,with the following program.

The first feature was an in-strumental trio composed of De-vine, Hubbard and King. Severalpopular numbers were played,and the choruses were sung byBob Hubbard. Next on thebroadcast was the incomparableJudd Koch of the xylophone, whoplayed his own arrangement ofthe popular piece, "LonesomeRoad". Judd received heartyfrom everyone present.

Following the xylophone solo,Russell Patterson gave two read-ings, accompanied by Joe Devineon the banjo. The readings wereenjoyed by everyone present,, es-pecially because they were re-cited by a member of Still Col-lege. Next the favorite piece ofall, "Roses of Picardy", wasplayed as a trombone solo byRobert Forbes, accompanied bythe band. This feature was re-received with great enthusiasmby the audience. Miss Halladay,guest artist of- the day, was nexton the period of broadcast, andgave several whistling numbers.The accompaniment was playedby Dr. "Virge". Miss Halladay'spart in the program was muchappreciated by the student body.

Chimes were heard in the dis-tance, warning the announcerthat the time for station an-nouncement was nearing. Thetime of day was announced andstation's call letters, and thenthe program of the network wasresumed.

The next in the series of theprogram was the feature dancingof Reeves, accompanied by De-vine on the banjo. Reeves gavean exhibition of what educatedfeet will do when the hot musicstarts up with the fascinatingrhythms that Joe Devine cabfurnish with his banjo.

Prof. Skinner and his trainedSeals mounted the platform andfeatured several splendid vocalnumbers. The members of thequartet are R. Forbes, W. Banks,Millard Hydeman and HarrySkinner. The first number theyoffered was "Kentucky Babe".They responded to the students'hearty applause with an encorenumber. Next was the outstand-ing number of the program, giv-en by one who needed no intro-duction to the listeners. Dr.Halladay presented several num-bers on his guitar, better knownto others as his strumming bedpan. The Doctor was applaud-ed by all for his part in themorning's broadcast.

The reappearance of a starfrom last year's program was re-quested, and Miss GenevieveStoddard, better known to theradio world as the Queen of theKitchen. Miss Stoddard slappedout several numbers with herfamous syncopating spoons. This

was a pleasure to all to hear thesnappy clink of the spoons. JoeDevine made his initial appear-ance for the morning's program,playing "Little Gypsy Sweet-Sweetheart". Joe is an outstand-ing banjo player who has justcome into the big family gather-ing and is indeed enjoyed by all.because of his mastery of thebanjo and the splendid pieces healways presents.

Time is now short, the chimesagain warned the feared-by-allannouncer that the time wasdrawing to a close for station SC O. The broadcast ended withthe strains of a march, played bythe band.

This proved to be one of themost enjoyable programs of theyear, and everyone is eager forMrs. Innes' return as Master ofCeremonies.

Entertains For BusinessSchool

The band made its first ap-pearance of the year at the Am-erican Institute, leading businesscollege in the city of Des Moines,on November 15, before the en-tire student body and was re-ceived with a hearty applause.

The morning program con-sisted of a musical recital, manynumbers were presented by theband. A combination made up ofthe band played several popularnumbers, featuring "Howdy"Toefher and the trumpet, andDevine and King playing thebanjos. The band was given ahearty applause for the splendidprogram and in return membersof the American Institute willentertain the college in the nearfuture.

The band returned to the col-lege to play the regular assemblyprogram held from now on at10:55 each Friday morning,where many splendid programsare presented, along with ad-dresses from the faculty, fieldmembers and other prominentmen of the city.

Band Makes NewAppearances

The Des Moines Still Collegeband made their appearance atthe outstanding boxing match ofthe year, held in Des Moines, atthe Colesium on November 12.Mr. Jack Dempsey referred themain fight of the evening and itwas an honor to all members ofthe band to play before such a.noutstanding gentleman of thesporting world. The band playedseveral numbers while the audi-ence was gathering and receiveda hearty applause from all. Thegathering for the occasion wasaround 2500 people who turnedout to see the most outstandingindividual in the history of box-ing. Jack Dempsey made a shorttalk and then the match beganand he proved to all that he wasas good at referring as he waswith the gloves on.

"Bob" Herrick the syncopat-ing drummer of the college bandis still wearing a broad smilethat runs from ear to ear, thereason is that Jack Dempseyautographed his snare drum andnow "Bob" has purchased aglass case to keep the drum in'and with a sign on it "handlewith care."

It was indeed a wonderful op-portunity for the band to get be-fore the general public and hav-ing the honor of being the onlyband chosen for the occasion.

For the pleasing manner inwhich the band was received,they were also engaged to playfor the wrestling match beweenStrangler Lewis, former heavy-weight champi'on-of the world,and Pat O'Shocker of California,champion of the west coast.

The ability of the band isputting it before the public andshowing the talent that D.M.S.C.O. has besides the ParamountArt of Healing-Osteopathy. Thecredit of this splendid organiza-tion goes to each member andthe untiring efforts of Dr. H. V.Halladay, director of the band.

A Little Jaunt

Urged by Bob Herrick andPete Peterson, we decided to vis-it Uncle Doc and Aunt Em inLee, Illinois. Bob was anxiousto go home to get his flivver andPete wanted to get his red flan-nels. Bob finally pushed theflivver in a day late, but Pete isnot suffering from the hives andwe suspect dirt somewhere alongthe red flannel line. Anyway, wegot started soon after 7' a. m. onSaturday, Bob and Pete makingthe last ten feet to the car in onejump. After we all got wedgedin and settled, Bob had to getout and go back for his purse.He stated afterward that therewas nothing in it, but that hewanted it to show the folks thathe needed another fifty for a newdrum. He has almost refused toplay on the old one since JackDempsey signed his name on thehead.

Near the edge of town wewere led by just another Buick,and an old wreck driven by amember of the so-called weakersex. Believe me, she had a heavyright hoof, for even thoough wewent up to seventy once or twicewe failed to pass her, althoughwe left the other Buick after asixteen mile chase. This pacelanded us in Fulton, Ill. at 11:30o'clock. As is our usual custom,we hunt up some poor unfortu-nate Osteopath along the lineand bum a meal. Dr. B. J. Sny-der proved to be the victim thistime. (We will have to confessthat this trick has been playedon Byron before and we don'tknow how long it will last, butwe are going to take anotherchance on him the next time wego thru Fulton).

This brief refueling pauseproved an incentive to add to therecord and we sped on, but notuntil Bob sent some kind of a

AssemblyThe assembly of Nov. 15 was

under the direction of Dr. J. P.Schwartz, dean of D.M.S.C.O.and surgeon-in-chief at the DesMoines General Hospital. Theband opened the assembly in theusual manner with several in-spiring numbers. The numberswere arranged so that an addi-tion was made to the band oftwo banjos, played by Devine andKing. Several popular numberswere featured with part of theband on the choruses, making itplenty "hot." Howdy Toefherbroke loose in several measureswith the hotest breaks since theChicago fire. The next number"Down Among the Sugar Cane",was plenty warm and took onthe musical effects and syncopa-tion equal to "Ruddy Vallee."

Following the musical pro-gram the rest of the morningwas turned over to Dr. Schwartz.The Doctor discussed the viewsof the practitioners towards thestudents in relation to the pa-tients referred to the clinic andtreatments they received.

Assembly

The assembly of Nov. 22, wasopened by the band with severalpopular numbers and on thechorus of "Pagan Love Song" atrio composed of the followingmen sang this splendid number:Hydeman, Skinner and Bankes.

The assembly was then turnedover to Dr. H. J. Marshall whocongratulated the band membersand Dr. H. V. Halladay on theirskill as musicians, as well asosteopathic physicians. The Doc-tor then introduced the speakerfor the occasion, Dr. Victor Eng-land of University Place, DesMoines, Iowa. Dr. England ad-dressed the student body on theimportance of Colonic irrigationto the Osteopath. The Doctor em-phasized the fact that Colonicirrigation isn't what the laymenconsider it as a high enema.There is an art in colonic workhardly any feces are ever washedout; the art is in removing themucous and other material inthe tract. Along with colonicwork, a strict diet must be car-ried out in every case to get thefinest results in any of the cases.Many case histories were relatedand the results were gratifying.

In closing, the Doctor em-phasized the fact that he wouldbe pleased at any time to giveto the seniors the technic re-quired in this art, if any wereinterested enough to call on him.

The address of the morningproved to be interesting and ben-eficial to all and especially thesenior class, who will be out inthe field in a few months. Ahearty applause from the studentbody showed their enthusiasmfor such an interesting lecture.

The band closed the assemblywith a spirited march and everyone left with a new insight on anagent useful in the paramountart of healing osteopathy.

"And what did you say thepatient did," asked the doctor,"when you ripped off the dress-ing?"

"Swore, doctor!" exclaimedthe nurse. "He swore fright-fully!"

"Splendid, nurse! I reckon youcan let him sit up tomorrow."

Nurse (to 8-year-old Bobby):"Would you like me to show youthe nice, cute, little baby thestork brought to your mother?"

Bobby: "Naw-show me thestork."

A medical student was havinga hard time with a written exam.One question was: "How wouldyou induce a copious perspira-tion?" He answered: "Have thepatient take a medical exam. inthis college."

Dr. Jones Did you hold amirror to her face to see if shewas still breathing?

Interne-Yes, and she openedone eye, gasped and reached forher powder puff.

Joe Say, Jack, are you stillengaged to that awfully homelyJill girl?

Jack-Well, I should say not.Joe-Good for you. To tell you

the truth, old man, you certainlyhad my sympathy. She was themost awful mess I've ever seenany place. How in the world didyou get out of it?

Jack-Married her.

The Prostate

Continued from Nov. 1 Issue)The urine is slow to appear on

urination then it is usuallyfeeble and the last drops arewithout control. There is some-times interruptions when men-tal impulses appear. Lumbarache and perineal pain are pres-ent especially with lesions of thelumbar spine. The ache may bemore pronounced on the perin-eum with an irritable rectum,due to straining on urinationand deffication because of theusual rectal prolapse.

In the later course of the dis-ease nocturnal polyuria is morepronounced with scanty highlyammoniacal urine, containingthe products of residual urinesuch as phosphate, blood, bac-teria, pus, etc. In time abdom-inal palpatation will show thatthe bladder never empties en-tirely and is greatly dilated.

Our medical brethren think ofthe catheter for emptying thebladder and bladder irrigationfor the septic conditions of thebladder, even before a very pro-nounced obstruction. As thecatheter life of an individual isestimated about five years it isup to the osteopathic physicianto resort to his prostatic mas-sage. Some say there is noknown means of reducing orpreventing hypertrophy, but ex-perience of massage sometimesprove quite gratifying. A shortmassage and treatment of thelumbar weekly or semiweeklyin winter is of great benefit tothe patient as well as profitableto the physician if it is a simplehyperthrophy. Care must be tak-en in treating the gland properas not to injure same. Looseningof the tissues at its base shouldbe done first on entering therectum and stroking the glandfrom its lateral edges and down-ward to its middle lobe is theusual technic.

Spring and spreading of theischii is of value, as it tends torelease the anterior commissurewhere it is attached to the sym-physis. Hot sitz baths and hotoil enemas are of benefit.

In the event you have an un-yielding cystitis boracic solution,normal saline, AgNO3 from 1:00to 10,000 to 1:4,000 is good ir-rigations for the bladder.

As prostectomy is not a tri-vial affair and mortality is largeit might be well to think twicebefore suggesting surgery. X-ray and a cystoscopic examina-tion may tell you lots besidesbeing a value to the surgeon.Surgery is the only treatment tosome conditions of course.

As prostatic massage is usedin chronic gonorrhea, sometimesthe physicians thinks it good inthe acute posterior urethitis,but massage tends to aggrevatethe condition.

So again it might be a goodidea to keep an open eye forsimple hypertrophied prostatesas the massage treatments ofseveral will pay the office rentas usually the results are goodenough the patients are morethan glad to pay cash. For manyof the glands of men have neverbeen examined even if they havebeen through some of the bigclinics, so get another rubberglove for prostatic examination.

on an equal with any of thepractitioners that were gradu-ated in the last few years, plustheir experiences in the field.The clinical experience brushesaway the rough edges whichotherwise would have to be ac-complished the first few yearsin practice. The routine of theclinic, if followed out properlyby the students, will be the nu-cleus and foundation for theirfuture practice and aid in de-termination of success that eachwishes to attain.

Dr. C. W. Johnson was nextcalled to the platform and re-emphasized the statements madeby Dr. Schwartz and congratu-lated him upon his interestingand convincing address, whichshould be of benefit to everystudent. The Doctor announcedthe changing of the assemblyperiod to the last period in themorning, so that no interferenceand neglect will be made in anyof the classes.

The rest of the morning'sprogram was returned to Dr.Halladay and the band. A re-quest for "Roses of Picardy"was played, featuring Bob For-bes on the trombone. A heartyapplause was returned for thesplendid performance of Mr.Forbes and accompanying bandmembers. The assembly closedwith the band playing the "NewColonial March" which everyonealways enjoys hearing.

A Little Jaunt

(Continued from page 1mysterious message to Sycamore.Arriving at Creston at exactly3:00 o'clock we circled the cityand found no trace of the fairmaiden. I told Bob that if he hadwanted the young lady to arriveat three he should have told herwe would be there at two. Well,we dumped Bob and Pete andwent on. Yes, we finally foundLee. But then you know it isn'tthe size of the community thatmakes it it's the people-andhow lucky for Lee that this istrue.

It would be useless to say thatwe were royally entertained, foryou know we were. The onlything was that it rained all thetime, but then what is rain

when chicken 'n 'nevrything isbeing served in the dinner?

We left Lee, Monday A. M.,and had it fixed so we would ar-rive in Fulton at noon on theway back for good reasons. Driv-ing slower on the return trip wearrived home late Monday, hav-ing spent three fine days overfine roads and visiting and meet-ing fine people. That's what wecall living.-"Virge" (Dr. Halla-day) and his two kids.

Osteopathic Care ofAthletes

(Continued from page 1the field and from those thathave been making the work astudy. It has been our privilegefor the last five years to, workvery intensively with severalintelligent coaches and to helpin the training of every malemember of the graduating class-es for the last five years at StillCollege. Let us give you somefigures.

Each year our seniors takecare of about 5,000 athletes.Every school in the city usesour boys in the senior class andin addition we furnish trainersfor several athletic clubs. Eachsenior is required to take careof some sort of an athletic team.Those working in the fall get atthe football squads. These arefollowed by the basketball andswimming teams and these bythe track teams. In the springwe have a group of about twentybusy for the three days of theDrake Relays and at that timeintroduce Osteopathy to about2500 young men.

Let us see what this is ac-complishing: It gives to ourseniors a training that cannot besecured any other way. Youcannot get up before a class andtheorize on the care of athletes.It brings the student in contactwith a group that is quick topraise or boo. You soon learn tocome across. Stalling will notget by with a gang of athletes.They are not playing that kindof a game and will not play withyou unless you are on the job.

We are introducing Osteop-athy to young people, that ifproperly impressed by it, willalways be our friends. We aremaking friends with the schoolauthorities, and the parents ofthe boys on the team. We areproving all the time that me-chanical injuries respond morequickly and surely to Osteo-pathic treatment than any otherkind. Our students know thatthere is such a thing as an in-nominate lesion and other les-ions. They appreciate a knowl-edge of the structure of the bodyand the part it plays in theirdiagnosis, prognosis and treat-ment. We are making Osteopathsand osteopathic converts.

A complete outline of workdone by this part of the clinic -ofthe college would take up toomuch space. Most of the casesdrop into muscle, bone or liga-ment pathology, but there aremany cases of boils, blisters,cuts and early symptoms of gen--rn-l infP.tinnc to bet dealt with.

The experience covers a widerrange than it would seem at first.[t is a type of practice that isgrowing in importance every dayand is already in the specialtyclass.-(Dr. H. V. Halladay.)

Advancement of Osteo-pathic Associations(Continued from page 1

considerable field. This samespirit of ADVANCEMENT pre-vails wherever one may chooseto go.

We who have been in touchwith Osteopathic education byteaching in our colleges, haveLong felt that the Osteopathiccourse has advanced by leapsand bounds; it has widened itsscope, developed its teachers, in-creased its equipment and hastaught from scientific basis. Itis most gratifying to see thatthe practitioners in the fieldhave kept pace with this prog-ress.

The spirit of learning is foundin every district meeting. Thisthirst for knowledge, this ad-vancement is clearly personifiedin our practitioners professionalstanding, their social prestigeand other financial status has in-creased, they are a well groun-ded, successful physician inevery sense of the word.

Reports of attendance frompost-graduate courses held thru-out the country are most grati-fying. It is significant of analert, active profession. Ournational convention was wellattended; the papers given wereof invaluable knowledge; it wasprogressive.

Speaking as one from a littlemore than a decade of experiencein our profession and viewingthe results of these few years,one can not help but feel thatour future is unlimited in itsadvantage. Truly, I feel proudthat I am a practitioner of thatmost progressive science-- OS-TEOPATHY.

From The Field(Continued from page 2)

McKinley Post, No. 106, of theAmerican Legion, I now dedicatethis memorial to the memory ofthose who fell in the service oftheir country by land and sea.Their lives are glorious beforeus; their deeds are an inspira-ation to us. As they served Am-erica in time of war, yieldingtheir last full measure of devo-tion, may we serve America intime of peace, so living thatjustice, freedom and democracymay endure forever.

"I dedicate this monument tothem and with it I dedicate thisPost to the service of thecountry and the preservation ofthe memory of those that fellthat liberty might not perish."

It is indeed with great pleas-ure that we are able to bring be-fore the field members from timeto time some of the activitiesthat our field members areundertaking and the honors thatare bestowed upon them.

CORPORATION BOARD,STILL COLLEGE.

AssemblyThe assembly of December 6th

was opened in the usual mannerwith the band playing -severalsplendid numbers. Dr. Johnson,President of D. M. S. C. O., ad-dressed the band members andDr. H. V. Halladay upon theiraccomplishments and the interestthey have aroused among all thestudents in the college. The bandhas more than taken the place ofathletics in Still college, andeveryone is enthusiastic over itsprogress, and boosts every timean occasion arises. Dr. C. W.Johnson then presented the newuniforms to the band.

The uniforms were purchasedby the corporate board for thefurther aid in advancing theband, which represents the col-lege in nearly every activity inthe city of Des Moines. Dr. Hal-laday accepted the splendid newuniforms for the band and alsothanked the members of theboard for their interest in theband and their splendid contri-bution to it.

The rest of the mornings pro-gram was turned over to MissJohnson, who introduced thespeaker of the morning, Dr.Kline, former student of Stillcollege, and now practicing inDes Moines. Dr. Kline praisedthe band and their progress. TheDoctor addressed the studentson the subject of Osteopathy, itsfounder, and the outstandingmen who have so generously giv-en their time to the advancementof the science. Several differentcases were given to show theability and the accomplishments


First Annual Polyclinic and Post Graduate Courseat Mercy Hospital a Splendid Success

During the interval October 7 to 21, 1929, a Clinic and PostGraduate Course was held at Mercy Hospital, St. Joseph, Missouri.Seventeen members of the profession, coming from eight differentStates were enrolled as students and the Faculty included severalnationally known men in the Osteopathic Profession.

The Course is sponsored by Dr. F. P. Walker, owner andChief Surgeon at Mercy Hospital. Dr. Walker is now working onplans for the Clinic and Post Graduate Course to be held againnext year.

In addition to Dr. Walker, instructor in Surgical Diagnosisand Technique, the faculty included Dr. C. C. Reid of Denver, Colo-rado, Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat. Also Dr. Reid's EfficiencyCourse." Dr. F. I. Furry of Denver, Colorado on "Orificial Sur-gery and Proctology." Dr. W. H. Gillmore of Minneapolis, "Var-cose Veins and Ulcers." Dr. H. J. Marshall of Des Moines, Iowa,"Ear, Nose and Throat." Dr. M. L. Hartwell of St. Joseph, Mo.,"Physiotherapy." Dr. Wm. P. Lenz, St. Joseph, Mo., "Genito-Urinary Diseases." Dr. R. H. Hurst of King City, Mo., "Pathol-ogy." Dr. H. M. Husted of Mercy Hospital Staff, "Eye Ear, Nose,Throat." Dr. A. J. Blair of Mercy Hospital, "X-Ray and Anasth-esia." Dr. Forest Kendall of St. Joseph, "Laboratory Methods."

The large number of clinic cases available made this coursea very practical one, both for the Specialist and General Practition-er as well. Over 150 patients were examined and approximately75 operations performed during the two weeks. The operationsranged from minor work to heavy major cases and the record ofnot a single fatality, indeed speaks well for the work done.

The following Doctors enrolled for the course: Dr. W. O.Pool, Wynnewood, Okla.; Dr. E. C. Smith, Topeka, Kans.; Dr.Paul O. French, Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Dr. C. I. Pray, Albany, Mo.;Dr. J. H. Mahaffey, Huron, South Dakota; Dr. E. L.Jay, Akron,Ohio; Dr. H. H. Brinkman, Bloomfield, Nebr.; Dr. Kessler, Cen-tralia, Mo.; Dr. J. W. Kennedy, Kansas City, Mo.; Dr. J. W. Eis-minger, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Dr. R. H. Van Wyngarden, Mexico,Mo.; Dr. W. C. Huefle, Eustus, Nebr.; Dr. James Humbert, Minne-apolis, Minn.; Dr. E. J. Remmington, Burlington, Colo.; Dr. Ther-esa Burnes, Creston, Iowa; Dr. Fannie Parks, Winterset, Iowa; Dr.J. F. Harding, Holdridge, Nebr.

Attendance at all classes and demonstrations showed the en-thusiasm and eagerness of the class to "get the stuff."

Some of the high spots of the two weeks were:1. P. G. Class the guests of Buchanan County Osteopathic

Association at a luncheon at the St. Francis Hotel, St. Joseph.2. P. G. Class the guests of Rotary Club of St. Joseph at lun-

cheon at Robidoux Hotel.3. P. G. Class motored to Savannah, Missouri and visited

the Nicholas Sanitorium. Dr. Matheney of the Nicholas Stafflectured on "Malignancy Its Diagnosis and Treatment."

4. P. G. Class motored to Kansas City to hear Dr. Harrowerof Glendale, California, on "New Discoveries in Endocrinology."

5. Farewell Banquet to Class, given by Dr. F. P. Walker.The Doctors attending the course all spoke highly of the

instruction received and many have signified their intention to bepresent again next year. Mercy Hospital is an ideal place to con-duct a P. G. Course, having plenty of available clinical material.The Hospital is completely equipped in every department and isoperated by an efficient personnel, under the capable leadershipof Dr. F. P. Walker.

Band Uniforms Arrive

The new uniforms for the D.M.S.C.O. band purchased by theCollege board have arrived, andevery one is mighty proud of theappearance of the band.

The uniform is of a dark pur-ple, cut in a coat-like manner,with patch pockets and large la-pels. On the right shoulder is afelt skull in white, and on thepocket is a letter "S" which des-ignates the school. The hats arepurple berets with the letter "S"on the top. The new uniformsgive the band a snappy appear-ance in all of their public ap-pearances.

Dr. C. W. Johnson presentedthe uniforms to the band afteraddressing them at the last as-sembly. The Doctor praised theband for their wonderful successand aid in putting the school be-fore the public in a pleasingmanner. The band has playedbefore many outstanding andleading organizations of the cityof Des Moines, and also manyout-of-town engagements.

Dr. Halladay accepted the pre-sentation and thanked the mem-bers of the board for their splen-did contribution for the furtheradvancement of the band.

The corporate board of the col-lege purchased thirty-six uni-forms to equip each member ofthe band in a fine uniform fortheir further engagements. Theband is the most outstanding or-ganization ever in the history ofthe college to arouse the studentinterest and for the furtheringof the college throughout thecountry.

The band is praised by every-one who is fortunate enough tohear its programs, and they al-ways boost it whenever the op-portunity presents itself.

Locating in WestVirginia

Most of West Virginia's largercities have from one to five or sixOsteopathic physicians. Wheel-ing Huntington, Charleston,Parkersburg, Clarksburg, Blue-field, Fairmont, Morgantown,Grafton and Martinsburg-anythese cities are possibilities. Noone could say a city of 60,000people with half a dozen Osteo-pathic physicians is overcrowded.

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAS CLUBIt was with great pleasure

that we received letters fromDrs, Rusty Wright, Bob Lustig,Musselman, Frank DornbushHarry Nossek, and D. Scott Al-den. This is indeed gratifying,for, besides being extremely gladto hear from field brothers per-sonally, it shows the far-reach-ing and lasting effects of frater-nalism, that one does not forgethis old associations, after gradu-ation.

To say that the boys are gladthat the Christmas holidays aren.-r r T-rnllll ho nTvcOiLe A fi r '

hard semester of work, the boysare more than exuberant overthe prospective trip home.

Our dainty toe dancers, Jaque-line Campbell and Georgette Ba-sore, are assiduously rehearsingtheir dance number entitled "TipToe Through the Tulips" in com-pany with that inimitable come-dian "Slats" Moore, in prepara-tion for their Hollywood debut.The exquisite dancing of Jaque-line and Georgette is bizarre,while the antics of the irresisti-ble "Slats" are bound to keep thefemale part of the audience in anuproar. It is undoubtedly thebiggest hit since Judge Utterbackbroke his arm.

On Friday, the 13th, we areholding our Christmas dance. Inspite of the date, an excellenttime is anticipated. We want aperfect climax to a successfulsemester.

Dad Duke Wire is back on thejob again. We are all pleased toknow that he has fully recov-ered from his recent illness. "JoeCollege" Wynn threw a scare inus by developing an attack of ap-pendicitis, which, fortunately,passed off in good style.

"Major Seagrave" Hughes hasapparently put his "Oregon rock-et" up for the winter, so we'llmiss his hair-raising dashes downSixth Avenue.

As this is our last opportunity,the chapter extends to all its bestwishes for a happy Christmasand a most prosperous NewYear.

IOTA TAU SIGMAOnce again, and for the last

time during the year 1929, wewill bring the-outside world up-to-date with our activities.

Much to the surprise of every-one, those who spent Thanks-giving week-end out of town, re-turned on time and were readyfor school the following Monday.Bros. Herrick and Peck estab-lished a new record as to drivingtime from Chicago to DesMoines. They claim that theirfourteen hour ride was due to

strong winds and too muchsnow, and since it sounds like areasonable excuse, we will haveto believe them.

Our last house party consistedof a radio dance held Saturdaynight, Dec. 7th. The radio danceprograms were unexpectedly fineand helped make the evening asuccessful one.

There are strong indicationsthat many of the Brothers aredesirous of more knowledge ofOsteopathy and one of the bestindications is the fact that overfive hundred dollars worth ofbooks were purchased recentlyby underclassmen and by thegraduating seniors. Books arealways considered a good invest-ment and we feel certain thatthere will be no exception in thiscase.

Bro. Rohde and Pledge Happelare now in style with the ma-jority of people making up thecivilized world. They decidedthat they .wanted company dur-ing their period of recoveryfrom the well known and muchdiscussed tonsil operation, sothey chose last Saturday as theeventful day. We are glad to re-port that both are progressingas well as could be expected.

Bro. Peterson spent the pastweek-end visiting in Ames, Iowa.We wonder if he is consideringAgriculture instead ofi Osteop-athy, and so far, he has failedto enlighten us concerning hisintentions.

We are all looking forward tothe nearing Xmas vacation. Inspite of a sixteen day vacation,some of the Brothers find it nec-essary to remain here during theentire time, but as usual, mosteveryone will be home with par-ents, relatives and friends.

Beta Chapter, of Iota Tau Sig-ma, takes this opportunity of ex-tending the Seasons Greetingsto all the readers of the LogBook.

Bro. Madson is now a man ofleisure. He maintains that night

work and studies do not mix.G. A. Purdie and the "Y" are

very well acquainted. He says,"A swim a day keeps the doctoraway."

Bro. Stoike desires all the up-to-date data on results of facelifting. He won't say whetherhe wants to specialize in it orbe the object of experiments.

Bro. Patterson was againcalled upon to release some ofhis oratorical prowess for theFrosh. If he can just recite, andand make one cry, I wonderwhat the girls do or say whenour "John Gilbert" makes love?

Our mascot, "master", hasbeen gone for at least two weeks.Funny how you miss even a dog.The house seems sort of emptywhen he's not there to greet you.We all hope he gets that Christ-mas homesick feeling and showsup.

W. L. Madson put tne Froshto decorating the house for theChristmas dance. His own origi-nal plans worked out beautifully,and the house simply radiatesthat Christmas spirit. We wantto make this dance the best ofthe season, and if the moodkeeps up it will be.

SIGMA SIGMA PHISigma Sigma Phi takes pleas-

ure in announcing the initiationof Andrew Ripley, RichardCombs, Howard Cook, SelmegDahl, Nicholas Gill, RichardStrittmater, Henry Scatterday,and Kenneth Moore. These menwere initiated on Tuesday, De-cember second. Following theinitiatory seremony, the men alltrekked to Uncle Charlies Chi-nese restaurant, where the usualrace for honors as to the best ap-petite was held and settled.Combs holds the record for themen that like steak, while John-son and his noodles are in a classof their own.

The last meeting of the organ-ization was held Tuesday, Dec. 3.

Now that Dr. Foman's lecturesare over, we can look forwardto larger attendance and re-newed enthusiasm.

Some of the fellows seem tohave taken on some excessweight since Thanksgiving, allof which speaks well of theirtable technique. However, nocase of "acute indigestion" havebeen reported, so all is well.

We are now looking forwardto the Christmas vacation. Manyare planning to spend the holi-days at home, and those of uswho are denied that pleasure,will welcome the brief respitefrom our daily toil and makemerry in other ways.

Most of the fellows have al-ready written their letters toSanta. Here are some of the re-quests:

1. Vic Reeder wants a newpair of spats, a fancy cowboyshirt and a package of life sav-ers peppermint flavor.

2. Parkinson a book on pub-lic speaking, pair of ear muffs,and bottle of hair tonic.

"Still looking for an honestman?" sarcastically inquired acop.

"No," he snapped, "for aparking place."

The doctor took one glance atthe new patient. "You'll have tocall in another physician," saidhe.

"Am I as sick as all that?"gasped the patient.

"No, but you're the lawyerwho cross-examined me lastMarch when I was called to giveexpert testimony in a certaincase. Now, my conscience won'tpermit me to kill you, but I'mhanged if I want to cure you, sogoodby."

GolfI got a letter from the editor

of last year's Pleiad the otherday. Says "golf has got him."He told me he didn't think Iplayed because he gave me creditfor more sense but I thought itmust be one of the requirementsof a good editor, if "Jimmie"played the game, so I tried it.

Have you ever golfed? It'sbally good sport. You take awooden stick with a flat piece ofiron on the end of it and hit alittle rubber ball into the holeson the course. Between timesyou use your clubs to pokearound in the grass and under-brush trying to find the ball.

Golf is a combination of base-ball and hide-and-go-seek.

You're supposed to say "fore!"when you drive off the tee sothat people ahead of you will getout of the way of the missiel;but Ive heard fellows say morethan that-especially if theysliced the ball into the rough.

Locating In WestVirginia

(Continued from page 1For those .. who like the largercities, we recommend the investi-gation of any or all of the abovenamed.

There are many small citiesthroughout our state without Os-teopathic physicians. It is in thesmall city the physician can se-cure a practice in a short time.However, we do not recommendlocating in any locality unlessthe Doctor is satisfied to livethere permanently. It is wise tolook a location over; study thesituation from all angles, beforespending time and money in es-tablishing a practice. If a mandesires to practice in a largercity eventually, it is best to lo-cate there at the outset and per-severe until he becomes wellestablished.

Appearances of the Band

Within the last week the bandhas made several more public ap-pearances before exceptionallylarge gatherings.

On Friday night, December 6,the band appeared before thelarge crowd gathered at the Coli-seum to attend the Legouri andFalegano fight, the main attrac-tion of the evening.

The band has made several ap-pearances before on such occa-sions, and from the way theywere received by everyone pres-ent, the management has askedfor their appearance on all suchoccasions hereafter.

On Tuesday night, the 10th ofDecember, the band again madeits appearance at the Coliseum toplay for one of the outstandingwrestling matches in the MiddleWest. The main go was betweenRalph Parcaut and Clem, whoare both claimants of the middleheavyweight championship. Thisproved to be a very interestingmatch, and everyone enjoyed it.The band played before the pre-liminary, and between matches,and was heartily applauded byevery one present.

THE DES MOINES STILL COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHY

Volume 7 January 1, 1930 Number 12

LOCATION: 720-722 Sixth Avenue. Thisis on the west side of the main north

and south highway thru the city. Acrossthe street to the east is the new Consis-tory. Grand Avenue, the main east andwest highway, is three blocks south. Thesite is convenient for patients and forthe student body, and yet away from thenoise of the business district.

STRUCTURE: Steel and concrete formsthe basis in the construction of the

building, making it fireproof thruout. Itis five stories in height and constructedwith the idea that two more floors maybe added. Alleys are found on threesides, insuring adequate light and ventila-tion. 28,000 square feet of floor spaceis available.

THE DES MOINESSTILL COLLEGE

OF OSTEOPATHY

STILL COLLEGE was founded in 1898 byDr. S. S. Still and wife, Dr. Ella D. Still,

together with a group of enthusiastic workerswho saw the need for an Osteopathic College ina city where clinical material would be unlimited.It was the first college to confer the degreeDoctor of Osteopathy and the first to be takenover by the profession as a non-stock holdingcorporation. Since its inception the college hasadhered to the original principals taught by thefounder of Osteopathy-Dr. A. T. Still-andboasts among its alumni many of the leadingmembers of the profession.

The college was first located at 1424 LocustStreet, but as the years made changes necessary,the college outgrew its old location and building,and was moved to the new site during the sum-mer of 1927.

Future prospects of the college are veryflattering. The student body has gradually in-creased and with greater clinical facilities and afaculty which is strengthened each year, thecollege is not surpassed by any of the recognizedschools of Osteopathy. Visitors are alwayswelcome.

We are proud of our institution and will beglad at any time to answer inquiries relative to,the College or the Science of Osteopathy.

Still College ClinicHE LAST TWO YEARS of the student's training is intensively filledwith practical work. In order for this to be truly practical, each

student must put in a minimum number of treatments and hours in actualattendance on cases. Many of these are in homes and are typical of the

general practice the physician meets outside his office. The proportion

of office to outside work is shown by the relative number in the tabulation below.

STILL COLLEGE claims the most complete and efficient Obstetrical Clinic

of any of our colleges. This service is extending each year. The care of athletes

is getting to be a real specialty, and eleven institutions in our city avail themselves

of this branch of our work. Our Osteopathic Hospital offers the student contact

with this important phase of Osteopathy:

Osteopathic Treatments (given in the college) ...................................... 60,000

Athletic cases cared for at the various schools...................................... 6,500

Obstetrical cases (each Senior in attendance at sevendeliveries).............................................................................................. 175

Hospital Clinics ........................................................ 2,700

Bedside Treatments (in homes)............................................. ..................... 3,500

OrganizationsTUDENTS OF OSTEOPATHY have for many years supported sev-

eral organizations that are national in scope. Those represented at

i Still College are: Iota Tau Sigma, Phi Sigma Gamma, Atlas Club, Delta

Omega and Axis Club. The official honorary fraternity of the profession,

the Sigma Sigma Phi, has established its Beta Chapter in our college.

The Sigma Chi Omega and several other organizations are local, but each fulfill

a need in the activities of the student body.

Recently we have been honored by the installation of the Still Square of the

Square and Compass Fraternity, an affiliated organization of the several Masonic

fraternities. Still College is the only Osteopathic College having a chapter in this

organization.

Thru the activity of these organizations, the social life of the college is main-

tained. Numerous parties, dances and other events fill the calendar thruout the

year and assures the student adequate recourse from academic staleness.

The Des Moines General Hospital

OT ONLY DO THE STUDENTS of the Des Moines Still College

of Osteopathy enjoy the advantages of an extensive Osteopathic clinicbut in addition, they have offered to them every courtesy of the DesMoines General Hospital, which is under strict Osteopathic management.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, president of the hospital and surgeon-in-chief, alsoacts in the capacity of Dean of the College. Dr. H. J. Marshall, secretary of thehospital, is instructor, and at the head of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat depart-ment. Dr. B. L. Cash, of the hospital staff, is instructor in X-Ray and Electro-Therapy. The two institutions are not operating under the same charter, butthere is co-operation in each department, which makes for the mutual benefit of all.

Extensive plans are under way for the erection of a new and strictly modernbuilding for the hospital which will replace the present structure. With the newcollege building a reality and prospects for a new hospital, the profession can betruly proud to point to Des Moines as a greater Osteopathic Center.

Students Entertained

Embryo Osteopathic physic-ians and surgeons of Milwaukeewere given a real treat by theOsteopaths of Milwaukee countyon Thursday, January 2, 1930,when they were sumptuouslybanqueted at the City Club.

The after-dinner speecheswere short but sweet, whichadded to the attractiveness ofthe affair.

As a fitting climax those pres-ent were electified by the an-nouncement of a patient, a Mr.Harriman, who stated that hislife having been saved by Dr.Kane after medical doctors ofMilwaukee had given him up andtold him he had a few days leftto live. Mr. Harriman promisedthose present that he would showhis gratitude to Osteopathy byraising the funds for a fine hos-pital and clinic for Milwaukee,and also raise sufficient fundsto endow them to insure theircarrying on successfully. A com-mittee was immediately ap-pointed to go over this matterwith Mr. Harriman.

Raising the funds for an Os-teopathic clinic for Milwaukeewould be an easy matter for Mr.Harriman, as his business is toraise huge funds for variouspurposes, such as for the en-dowment of schools and hospit-als and to maintain CommunityChest funds, also to manage thecampaigns of candidates for thevarious elective offices of thestate and nation. Further detailsof this will be given at a laterdate.

The Still College contingentof Milwaukee was represented100 percent at the banquet byFrederick E. Hecker, Harold G.Withrow, Carl Black, and Maur-ice J. Schwartz. There were twostudents from Kirksville and onefrom Chicago, also present.

Advantages For NewStudents

Prospective students, now isthe time to enter an OsteopathicCollege and get a thorough edu-cation for the degree of Doctorof Osteopathy.

Des Moines Still College of Os-teopathy offers to every studenta chance to become a competentOsteopathic physician. Still Col-lege has one of the largest, ifnot the largest, clinics to offerany prospective student who isinterested in the ParamountArt of Healing -Osteopathy!

The Obstetrical departmenthandles several hundred confine-ment cases each year and thisgives to the student every ad-vantage there is to offer.

The out patient clinic handlesnearly four thousand cases eachyear, besides the general clinicthat is conducted at the college.Clinics are held in Eye, Ear,Nose and Throat, Gynecology,Proctology, along with the otherclinics, so the student has theopportunity to handle nearlyany case that may arise andhave competent assistance frompracticing physicians who in-struct each class in the college.

The fraternities and sororitiesoffer social activities to theirmembers, as well as backing allthe activities and projects of thecollege.

Athletics have been discardedfrom the college schedule be-cause of the expense of keepingup good teams. The money for-merly spent for such activitiesis now being used for increasingthe equipment and giving thestudent every advantage there isin the healing art.

The much praised and talkedof Still College Band is theleading entertainer for the col-lege and more than fills theplace of the football and basket-ball teams which were formerlythe big gun of the students' ac-tivity. The band consists of 34members, attired in splendidnew uniforms which makes themone of the outstanding bands in

A Visitor From Japan

On December 16th, the stu-dents were privileged to attendan illustrated lecture on themanners, customs and habits ofthe Japanese. Mr. Arthur St.Amant, brother of Larry St.Amant, so favored us with hisexperiences of seven months inJapan. With two suitcases fullof novelties and souvenirs, alongwith an interesting explanationof each article, Japan wasbrought closer to us. Mr. St.Amant explained that Osteo-paths would have an excellentfield to practice their professionin Japan, for the natives are in-terested in mechanical therapy.Each and every Japanese, headded, is a skilled masseur. Apoint of interest brought out wasthe fact that some of the Jap-anese burn back to life what theycall a "sleeping nerve", and thatat the bathing beaches it wasnot infrequent to see burnt spotsalong the spinous process on thebacks of the Japanese. Mr. St.Amant is a metal specialist forGeneral Motors Export Co. Hetravels to all the foreign plants.We welcomed his visit, and hopehe will return to tell us somemore of his interesting experi-ences in foreign lands.

Advantages For NewStudents

(Continued from page 1)the city of Des Moines, and theOsteopathic profession.

Along with the above men-tioned advantages to students,one more outstanding opportun-ity is the hospital experienceavailable to each upper class-man. During the school year,each Saturday morning majorand minor clinics are held at thehospital, which everyone has theprivilege of attending.

From these few mentioned op-portunities any prospective stu-dent can easily see the futurethat lies ahead of him in theOsteopathic profession. All in-quiries will be given prompt at-tention, for anyone interested inattending Des Moines Still Col-lege of Osteopathy.

New Year Babe

Dr. J. F. Rader, former grad-uate of Des Moines Still Collegeof Osteopathy, was the attendingphysician. Dr. Rader has thehonor of bringing the firstyoungster of 1930 into theworld in the vicinity of Massil-ion, Ohio.

The following is Mr. Williamsofficial notice to Mr. and Mrs.Pahlau:

New OsteopathicHospital

Responding to the ever grow-ing need for Osteopathic Hos-pitals, I have opened an institu-tion for the treatment of dis-eases of the nervous system andheart. Years of hospital workand post graduate training inPsychiatry at a registered men-tal hospital, I believe, prepareme to efficiently conduct suchan institution.

Patients will live in the at-mosphere and privacy of acharming modern home, for thehospital is newly equipped withmodern, colorful furnishings inkeeping with its century old co-lonial architecture.

The treatment room is equip-ped to give modern, approvedtreatment, including colonic ir-rigation, on an apparatus of myown design which I have foundvery successful. Laboratory andX-Ray work will be handled byan expert technician. A register-ed nurse will at all times be inattendance.

The hospital is situated four-teen miles North of Philadelphiain an attractive neighborhood,between Moreland and EastonRoads, (the direct route to NewYork). It is surrounded by tenacres of lawn and orchard, madeeven more attractive by a smallstream and woods.

I shall be glad to furnish fur-ther information and answerany specific questions anyonemay care to ask.

FraternallyJ. L. FULLER, D. O.

Due to the rapid advance-ment of the science of Osteo-pathy, hospitals of every type arebeing erected thruout the entirecountry to meet the ever in-creasing demand of the public,who are demanding more andmore each day for Osteopathicphysicians.

This proves to everyone theadvancement being made by theOsteopathic profession and thetype of capable physicians beinggraduated each year from theOsteopathic schools.

The Osteopathic Defence Lea-gue is not at war with the reg-ular Medical Profession, butdenies its right to interfere withOsteopathy. We are against anylegislation which prevents peoplechoosing the healer they arewilling to trust. We want legis-lation which will give peoplefreedom of choice and protectthem and ourselves against ex-ploitation by incompetent andunqualified persons. Therefore,support the League.

Kind hearts are more thancoronets, and simple faith thanNcrman blood.-Tennyson.

AssemblyThe band opened the first as-

sembly of the year 1930 with arousing march to greet the stu-dent body. A hearty applausefollowed, showing the students'appreciation, as well as that ofthe guests who were present.Dr. H. V. Halladay expressed hispleasure in being back leadingthe band once more before thestudent body for the first timesince vacation.

A special number was playedby the band, featuring Toepferon the trumpet and Jud Koch onon the xylophone. The numberfeatured was an old favorite oflong ago that still remains popu-lar. The special number, "Beau-tiful Lady", received applausefrom everyone because of itssplendid melody and the abilityof the band to play the numberwith such skill.

The following announcementwas made by Robert Homan, edi-tor of the Stillonian, in regard-to the coming issue. Every onehave your money ready whenthe committee comes around.Everyone start saving yourdimes, so there will be a hun-dred per cent subscription. Allfield members who want a yearbook write in and send your fivedollars, and you will receive areceipt to account for your rightto a Stillonian.

The program was then turnedover to the Pan-Hellenic Counciland H. H. Cudden, president ofthe association, introduced thespeaker, Mrs. Max Mayer, presi-dent of Jewish Community Cen-ter, authority on World Courtand peace question. The addressby Mrs. Mayer was very welltaken, and much discussion andthought has arisen among thestudent body.

The band closed the assemblywith an invigorating march, andeveryone left well pleased withthe morning.

one of the students. The visitwas enjoyed immensely by thetwo young men, it being theirfirst time thru such a profession-al school. The dissection roomproved to be the most interest-ing item to the young men, andmay be the drawing card for twomore future Osteopaths.

The young men are requiredto write an article on medicalschools and this was theirchoice. They expressed their ap-preciation for the politeness andinterest taken in their visit. Aninvitation was extended to themto return at any future time foranother inspection, if they sodesired.

The teacher was giving theclass a talk on gravity.

"Now, children," she said, "itis the law of gravity that keepsus on this earth."

"But please, teacher," in-quired one small child, "how didwe stick on before the law waspassed?"

The Colorado Board

A letter was received from Dr.R. B. Head, Secretary-Treas-urer of the Colorado Board, ask-ing us to publish some facts onthe state board which have beenexaggerated by different individ-uals thruout the osteopathicschools. The statistics show thatin the last 12 years between 70and 80 percent of those takingthe board have passed it.

Defense League InEngland

The Osteopathic Defence Lea-gue has come into existence toserve a definite public purpose.It is not an Osteopaths' TradeUnion. There is already in ex-istence a professional organiza-tionwhich works within recog-nized limits for the benefit of theOsteopathic practitioner. Thescope and purpose of our Leagueare wider. Its membership iscomposed of people who wantOsteopathy to have fair play andfreedom to develop its possibil-ities as a new school of healingwithout interference from thedominant school of medicine inwhose interests the existing lawsgoverning medical practice havebeen framed.

Members of the League, forthe most part, have had personalexperience of Osteopathy as amethod of treating the ills thatflesh is heir to: they have triedthis new system of druglessmedicine and bloodless surgery:and they appreciate the Osteo-path's argument that orthodoxmedicine, with its entirely dif-ferent theory and practice, hasno right to obstruct the develop-ment of new principles and tech-nique in the treatment of diseaseor to dictate conditions underwhich the new system shall beallowed to prove its capacity tobenefit the public.

The prime purpose of ourLeague is to secure an altera-tion in the existing law, withthe object of placing Osteopathyon a footing of complete legalequality with orthodox medicine.At the present time, the law rec-ognizes only registered medicalmen trained in the school ofdrug therapeutics, and deniesrecognition to the practitionersof all other therapeutic systemsThe registered medical man enjoys privileges and immunitieswhich no other practitionerhowever well qualified and reputable he may be, is allowed tcenjoy. The "irregular" practitioner is regarded as outside thepale of the law. He is treatecas a quack and charlatan witlwhom no registered medical maiis allowed to associate professionally on any terms whatsoever. If a registered medicaman assists an Osteopath in an:professional capacity, whetheby administering anaesthetics oin any other way, he runsgrave risk of being struck o:the medical register-as thlate Dr. Axham was-and losinhis professional status.

The public is deprived offair opportunity of obtaining thbenefits of Osteopathic treament. Medical men who have become convinced of the soundness of the principles of meclano-therapy of which Osteopathis the scientific and standardizeexpression are so intimidatethat few of them will dare opeily avow belief in those princples. And the Osteopathic pratitioner finds himself hampersand thwarted at every turn ithe conduct of his practice t

THE LOG BOOK

the antiquated and rectionarymedical laws and the obstructiveand obscurantist attitude of theGeneral Medical Council wield-ing the power conferred upon itby statute. In this way the prac-tice of Osteopathy by properlyqualified graduates of reputableOsteopathic colleges is obstruct-ed in this country.

This is the state of affairswhich the Osteopathic DefenceLeague seeks to remedy by newlegislation providing for the in-dependent regulation of Osteo-pathy, for legal recognition ofthe Osteopathic practitioner andfor the establishment of thehighest possible standard of ed-ucation and professional compe-tence for the Osteopaths onterms of equality with ordinarymedicine.

It is not the intention of theLeague to interefere in any waywith the regular medical pro-fession. We are not asking forspecial privileges or immunitiesfor Osteopaths. We are not de-sirous of lowering the establish-ed standards of medical training.We do not seek the admissionof Osteopaths into the ranks ofthe regular profession. We wantlegal recognition and regulationof Osteopathy in order to pro-tect the profession from theintrusion of ignorant and un-qualified persons, and to makethe benefits of Osteopathyknown to the public. These areour aims. (From the Osteo-pathic Bulletin, London, Eng.)

Reciprocity and License onCredentials

"Whenever said Board deemsit is for the best interests of thepublic to permit an applicant totake a practical or bedside ex-amination in lieu of or in ad-dition to a written examination,it may do so, but no applicantshall be required to take a prac-tical or bedside examination ifhe prefers to submit his appli-cation solely on a written ex-amination.

"Applicants may be licensedon their credentials or upon abedside examination, at the dis-cretion of the Board. Applicantsfor practical examination, or li-censed on their credentials,must make a personal appear-ance before the Board and re-quest such examination."

"However, there is nothingin the law which says the Boardmust allow a license on creden-tials or allow a bedside exam-ination."

A number of osteopathic phy-sicians who have been out ofschool for several years havebeen licensed upon a practicalexamination given by the osteo-pathic members of the Board.

It is incorrect to jump at theconclusion that exercise is thecorrect treatment, even for con-litions which may be the resultof lack of exercise. People whohave neglected exercise all their.ives and have consequently suf-fered poor health, often turnsuddenly to muscular activity forthe relief of their symptoms.Sometimes the result of this isdisastrous. Some of these symp-toms may be due to an acute in-fection. If this is so, rest, notexercise, is what is needed.Other symptoms are caused bythe manufacture of poisonousproducts in the body. In thiscase, osteopathic removal of thecause and osteopathic elimina-tion is indicated, not exercise.

Lack of exercise for years, ac-companied by overeating, pro-duces high blood pressure in agreat many men. A sudden crazefor golf in such cases may provedisastrous, whereas osteopathictreatment and rest would bebeneficial.

Lots of people think that badposture can be cured by exercise.Incorrect posture is one of theresults of lack of exercise, butit does not necessarily followthat things may be reversed andthat the institution of the exer-cise will restore the correct pos-ture. If you want good posture,have your osteopathic physicianstudy your case. He will findthe cause, and remove it as faras possible, and then, and notuntil then, will he advise youwhether or not he wishes you totake exercises and will show youjust what exercises he desires+- A ~ A o;. h" +; i "1 1 I a v" .11 1.1 P_

Senior Class DayOn Friday, January 17th, the

assembly was turned over to themembers of the graduating class.The band opened the assemblywith the snappy number entitled"Hydrophobia," followed by themarch,' "American Legion."

Richard Rhode, president ofthe class, addressed the studentbody, giving the history of theclass throughout the four yearsof college life. Eleven membersstarted together, and the samenumber graduated, with only afew changes in the originalclass. Mr. Rhode expressed hisregret and that of all the mem-bers of the class on having toleave, because of the wonderfulfriendship which exists amongall the students of the college.In concluding, he thanked thefaculty on behalf of the class forthe interest that was shown inthem throughout the four years.

Following the address by theclass president, the band offeredtwo selections, "I'll Always Bein Love With You", and "GetOut and Get Under the Moon".

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Dean ofthe College, addressed the mem-bers of the graduating class andcongratulated them all upon thesplendid work accomplished byevery one. Dr. Schwartz pre-sented the honorary awards tothe outstanding members of theclass for their interest and abil-ity in their work. The follow-ing awards were made:

To Grace Abolt the certificatefor general clinic and gynecol-ogy, another gynecologic certifi-cate was awarded to Alice Paul-sen, obstetrical certificate toHarry Johnson, dissection awardto Percy Walley, dissection to


Dissection Begins

The second semester of dis-section will begin Feb. 10, forthe last session until summerdissection is taken up. The ma-terial for the dissection is insplendid shape and extensivework will be carried on by theclass, under the supervision ofDr. H. V. Halladay. The classwill be made up of Juniors andSophomores. All the upperclass-men are through and the major-ity, if not all the Sophomores,will be included in the class.

A few of the senior class whoare through with their work,will assist Dr. Halladay, actingas prosectors and this proves tobe of advantage to the new men,as well as a good review to theupper classmen.

Visitor at CollegeThe college was complimented

by the visit paid it January 27thby Dr. McTigue of Emmetsburg,editor of the Iowa OsteopathicBulletin. Dr. McTigue addressedthe members of the senior A andB, and junior A classes.

The Doctor stressed the factthat osteopaths are facing thekeenest competition ever re-quired of them. Every studentshould study with might andmain so he will be an outstand-ing man in the community inwhich he locates and keep thepeople's confidence whenever heis called. The moral side wasalso brought forth. It is veryimportant for every physician tobe of the best moral to havethe confidence of the community.Again the Doctor stressed theimportance of every student pre-paring himself for the keenestcompetition and patients that hewill meet when entering the field.The Doctor related a few inter-esting incidents which happenedwhen he attended the college afew years ago. We were indeedpleased to have the opportunityof hearing Dr. McTigue, andhope he will return in the nearfuture to address the membersagain.

Normal Spine WeekA definite date is set aside for

"normal spine week" in the en-tire profession, as March 15-21.

Our ideal should be to give allchildren their right to a goodstart in life, physically, mental-ly, and morally. Never be self-ish or limited to your commun-ity in which you live, but workfor betterment everywhere, sothat the total will be a conti-nent-wirde infllunce for oonnd

Normal Spine Week is a na-tional effort for the simultane-ous spreading of the gospel ofservice which we, as osteopathicphysicians, are trained to renderin the most efficient way.

Every community which hasthe personnel to maintain a clin-ic should have one. Those al-ready conducting a clinic shouldextend to their neighbors whatsupport it is possible to give.

A "Normal Spine Week"manual was prepared which givesin detail the scope and aims; howto start, a suggested plan, meth-ods of procedure, how to reachthe newspapers, contest and va-rious educational plans. Thismanual should be in your handsif you intend to participate inthe observance of Normal SpineWeek, or propose starting aclinic.

This is the seventh year that aweek has been designated as aparticular time for the conduct-ing of a clinic for the free exam-ination of children.

Dr. E. C. Brann, chairman Bu-reau of Clinics, and the CentralOffice, will co-operate in makingyour worthy efforts a success.-From Forum of Osteopathy,February, 1930.

Commencement

With the gathering of a fair-sized crowd to witness the gradu-ation of the mid-year class, Mr.George F. Ogden played the pro-cessional march as the elevenmembers of the mid-year classmarched forward to the memo-rial platform, the start of theirlife's work. After all were seat-ed on the platform, Dr. R. B.Bachman gave the invocation ofthe evening. Following the Doc--tor, Mr. Tyne M. Buck offered asplendid vocal number, accompa-nied by Mr. Ogden. Mr. Bucksang a very appropriate song forthe occasion, entitled, "I Am theBuilder".

Dr. C. W. Johnson, presidentof the college, then introducedthe speaker of the evening, Rev.Clifton E. Rash, who is the headof the First Federated Church ofDes Moines. Rev. Rash ex-pressed his appreciation of hav-ing the opportunity of speakingonce again to a graduating classof Still College. The ministeraddressed the members of thegraduating class on the subject,"Life of the Young Physician".It is a touching time when ayoung man or woman graduatesand is ready to take up theirlife duties. Every young physi-cian is influential in lifting thehuman race and aiding in ad-vancement of the world. Thespeaker brought out the thoughtconcerning the happiness thatmust be in the heart of everyfriend of each of the graduatingmembers. The world is about toreceive more competent physi-cians, who have a duty above


BandThe band again had the invi-

tation to play the outstandingfight at the Coliseum on Feb. 3,when Tony Legouri, the localDes Moines "pug", met TommyGrogan, one of the outstandingpuncher in the lightweightranks. The fight was short andsweet to many, for the localfighter went down in the secondround without accomplishinganything. The main go of theevening was preceded by severalgood preliminary events.

The band has had the pleas-ure of playing all the fights inthe Des Moines ring since lastfall and was indeed appreciatedand cheered by the crowds onevery appearance they made. Allthe credit of success of the StillCollege Band goes to Dr. Halia-day and the members of theband for their untiring efforts.

Bro. Armbrust is back againwith us after an extended vaca-tion at semester's end; He statesfor public enlightenment that hehad a fine rest. On the sly heinformed me that his true rea-son for leaving Des Moines wasto give the Omaha girls a treat

and the rest of us a break.Believe it or not!"Daddy Fritz" Hecker, with

co-author M. J. Schwartz, isabout to publish a new work,"The Inevitable Fate of ModernCivilization." Let's give them ahand!

What everyone wishes toknow is why Bro. Stoike is sosilent and unresponsive abouthis Valley Junction trip the oth-er evening. It will take morecuriosity than I can muster tofind out.

SIGMA CHI OMEGAWell! Here we are again, as

the escaped convicts said uponbeing returned to jail.

It gave us great pleasure toreceive so many letters from ouralumni, and we are very glad toknow they are doing so well,both as internes and practition-ers. \We assure you we are al-ways interested in your letters,and would welcome more ofthem.

Also, we shall be glad to re-ceive any suggestions relative toLog Book articles, as these ar-ticles are primarily for the pur-pose of keeping our former mem-bers in touch with the organiza-tion.

We have now entered upon thesecond term's work, and a newset of officers have been installed.Th'ey are: President, Purtzer;vice president, Vic Reeder; sec-retary, Scheidler; and treasurer,Parkhurst. Every one of thesemen has proved himself capable,and under their leadership wefeel that the organization willprosper, especially if we givethem our whole-hearted co-op-eration.

Our meetings have been mostinteresting, as well as instruc-tive. We recently had the pleas-ure of being addressed by Dr.Robert Bachman, who chose ashis subject, "Why the PhysicianMust Be Resourceful." His talkwas received with much interest,and we hope we may soon havethe pleasure of hearing Dr. Bach-man again.

Location

A fine location for any gradu-ating student is open at MountPleasant, Iowa. The populationis around four thousand fivehundred, with a county hospitalopen to Osteopaths. Osteopathyis well established in this loca-tion, and a wonderful opportun-ity for any young graduate. Dr.F. H. Garriston will sell hisequipment for one thousand dol-lars. Any one interested writethe Doctor.

What gets me is why theScotch are so fond of golf. Itmust be their only weakness-everyone has to have some vul-nerable spot. Maybe they playthe game so that they can lookfor lost balls. Exchange.

Personal Glimpse

(Continued from page 1)formerly secretary and treasurer.Besides being associated with theboard of examiners, he also wasvice president of the I. O. A. un-til the recent death of Dr. L. V.Andrews, then president. TheDoctor then ascended to the pres-idency of the Iowa OsteopathicAssociation until an election washeld, in which Dr. Johnson ofJefferson was elected president,Dr. Hannan retaining the vice-presidency. In regard to theI. 0. A. work, Dr. Hannan hasbeen an earnest worker since hisgraduation from college. Byhis efforts and interest in theprofession he has reached thepeak with admiration from allof his many friends.

In an indirect way, this prom-inent physician has been respon-sible for many privileges the Os-teopaths of Iowa now enjoy.Along with the above mentionedresponsibilities, the physicianholds the position as Boonecounty physician, which is in-deed an accomplishment for anyOsteopath.

We will now look into his im-maculate and perfectly equippedoffice. The office equipment isall housed in a new, modern andbeautiful office. Four treatingrooms care for his equipment.in the back room a complete X-ray machine with fluoroscopicand photographic units, alongwith a complete laboratory forurinalysis, developing of X-rayfilms, occupying the room. Go-ing into the adjoining room, wefind a complete diathermy ma-chine, treating table and smallinstrument cabinet. Enteringthe next room we find a largeinstrument cabinet filled withthe necessary equipment neededby any up-to-date physician, aMcManus table, ultra-violet lampwith air and water cooled units,infra-red lamp, electric steriliz-er. We then enter his privaterooml where he spends his sparemoments in taking care of allbusiness matters that call all act-ive physicians' attention. Last,but not least, the waiting room,a delightful and cheerful placefor any class of people. Theroom is equipped with a beauti-ful mahogany desk, wicker fur-niture, book cases, a pleasingand restful atmosphere for anyone.

Indeed it is a pleasure andprivilege for anyone to visit thedoctor for a few minutes andsee such a perfect office, ownedby one man. It has been judged

by many other active physiciansas one of the best if not the bestoffice owned by any one individ-ual in the state.

Continuing on, we now takeup important facts in regard topractice. In handling fracture,the largest percentage of suchinjuries are handled by Dr. Han-nan in the surrounding territory.This statement can be backed byhis opinion being asked by medi-cal physicians, and also beingconsidered an authority on X-raywork. His advice and opinionare constantly being consultedby medical physicians in all sur-rounding territories. This provesthe advancement of the Osteo-pathic profession through suchmen's efforts. Medical men seekosteopaths' advice, instead of os-teopaths seeking medical help.Not that this stands alone, butbrings co-operation between thetwo for furthering the art ofhealing, but also broadens eachphysician's mind in regard totheir different science of heal-ing, with benefit to the humanrace.

All kinds of minor surgery areperformed within this modernand well equipped office, such astonsillectomies, and circumci-sions, all of which confront eve-ry physician while in practice.Accompanying all the above-mentioned facts, Dr. Hannanspends four to six weeks everysummer studying in some promi-nent clinic in the east to furtherhis accomplishments and preparehim to give all that is possibleto his patients and profession.Besides having time for themany mentioned accomplish-ments, the Doctor looks after asix hundred and forty acre farmijudr:ed one of the best in thislocality.

This is the kind of articles wewish to receive from all StillCollege graduates, so we canshow' the accomplishments ofeach man. We know there aremany who have some importantfacts of which they can be proud.Please send them to us. Expect-ing to hear from many of yousoon.-Editor.

Senior BanquetThe semi-annual banquet, giv-

en each semester by the trusteesof Still College in honor of thegraduating members, was heldThursday evening, January 16,1930, at Younkers' Tea Room.

Although it was an exceeding-ly cold night, the attendance was100 per cent, including both fac-ulty members and graduates.

After a delightful five-coursedinner, a very entertaining pro-gram was presented.

The act of presiding as toast-mistress was very capably takencare of by Mrs. Innes. Very orig-inal, as always, she comparedour lives in Still College to thatof an aviator, taking us from thebeginning, as ground students,to the finished product, the ex-perienced pilot. In the course,several members of the facultywere called upon to describe indetail the various steps we took

3

along the line. We learned somevery interesting things aboutourselves, as well as some amus-ing incidents, especially fromMiss Johnson.

Mr. Rhode, who is president ofthe graduating class, gave thefarewell address. ' He said theusual, things, which are alwayshard to- say,: an'd'.; did it ' verynobly.

Several vocal selections weregiven by Hydeman, who isa student at our college. It is apleasure to have such talent inour school.

We would take this opportun-ity again to thank every memberof the faculty for the manythings they have done for uswhile in school, and to the Trus-tees again for the very delight-ful evening which was given us.

Resolutions PassedBy Nebraska Board

The following resolutions-werepassed January 28, 1930, by theNebraska Basic Science Board:

1. "In all questions of appli-cants coming from other stateswith application to the State ofNebraska for waiver of examina-tion in the Basic Sciences, itshall rest with the Basic ScienceBoard of Nebraska whether to

(1) Issue certificate of Abilityin the Basic Sciences upon exam-ination of grades received fromany other legalized Board of Ex-amiiners in any other state underconditions provided in section 8of Basic Science Law.

(2) Issue certificate of Abili-ty upon re-examination of paperswritten for any other legalizedBoard of Examiners in any otherstate.

(3) Reject. Such rejectionin itself does not bar the appli-cant from taking the regularBasic Science Board examina-tion."

2. "Under the present lawgrades of none other than legal-ized boards of examiners in thehealing arts of other states canbe recognized in the considera-tion for Certificate of Ability bywaiver. This would exclude con-sideration on the part of theBasic Science Board of examina-tions and grades given by Na-tional Boards."

Births

It is with pleasure that weannounce the birth of a daugh-ter, Alys Wilburta, to Mr. andMrs. Ralph Lathrop, December28th, 1929. Mr. Lathrop is amember of the junior class ofDes Moines Still College. Everyone extends their congratulationsto the young couple.

Senior Class PresentationThe senior class of January,

1930, presented to Des MoinesStill College a picture of Dr. H.V. Halladay.

R. J. Rhode, president of theclass, made the presentation toDr. C. W. Johnson in assembly.Dr. Johnson then presented it'tothe student body, but soon foundhe had it upside down. Thisgained a round of applause. Dr,Johnson added a few remarks,and accepted the picture.

Dr. Halladay then acknowl-edged the honor bestowed uponhim by the class, and added afew of his well chosen remarks,stating to the other faculty mem-bers that one of the fundamen-tals in getting your picture inthe hall of fame was "to get thegoods on the members of someclass", and all will be well.

Dr. Halladay is worthy of thishonor, because of his knowledgeas an authority on anatomy, hisuntiring efforts to better Osteop-athy, his interest in the college'band, along with its success, andhis popularity as one of the in-structors.

AssemblyThe first assembly of the newy:

semester was held Friday, Janu-ary 31st. The band opened theassembly with the faimous march,the "Emblem of Freedom," andthis was followed by a bass soloplayed by C. H. Fedson, accom-panied by the band. Hearty ap-plause followed the number inappreciation of the fine showingof Mr. Fedson and the band.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, presidentof Still College, came to theplatform and addressed the newmembers of the freshman class.He congratulated the studentsupon their attitude throughoutthe last semester, and stressedthe fact to make this an out-standing semester for every onein the college. The college isa democratic group, and the con-duct of every student is high,and all are to be congratulatedfor their efforts. The new stu-dents were congratulated upontheir entering D. M. S. C. O.,and everyone looks for muchprogress from them. They allhave the up-and-coming spiritwhich puts any science forward.Following the address, RobertHoman, editor of the year book,made an announcement concern-ing the progress of the new bookso far.

The band played several newnumbers and one request, andthe assembly was closed by theplaying of the popular march,"Men of Ohio".

One nice thing about playinga bum game of golf, you mostoften come back with more ballsthan you started out with. Youmay find as high as three ballsin a bad piece of rough while youare looking for your own.: Ifyou can do this it doesn't 'makeyou feel so badly when you can'"t-

find your own ball and you haveto count an extra stroke.

Commencement

(Continued from page 1)any other profession. He hasgreat responsibilities, cares, andmental anguish. He should nev-er consider the great amount ofmoney he can derive, but thecomfort he can bring to thosewho are in need of him. Thephysician is in debt, due to thevast amount of responsibilityplaced upon him by human so-ciety. His attitude should be ofthe type that will relate and al-low him to mingle with all typesof the human race. He must beneighborly, friendly, and kind toevery member of society, and heshould never draw himself awayjust for his science, but shouldmingle and give his communityall that he can in every respect.Members of the community learnthe qualities of each physician byhis associations. His interestshould rest in the public schoolsand aid in giving every oppor-tunity for each member to gofurther on in life. The churchaffiliations are of great impor-tance. They aid in advancingthe community, also being influ-ential to other members. Thecommunities need educated menand women; it always gives theimpression and assurance to thecommunity in which you are lo-cated that your support will al-ways accompany their efforts.Glory and recognition shouldnever be of any importance, theassurance to yourself that youhave done your duty to the bestof your ability and the happinessthat results from it. If thesefew ideas are closely followedout, sufficient success will cometo all conscientious physicians.Rev. C. E. Rash congratulatedDr. Johnson upon the splendidclass and blessed them in follow-ing out their science.

Mr. Buck again favored thegathering with a splendid vocalnumber, accompanied by Mr.Ogden.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz then pre-sented the class to Dr. C. W.Johnson, who conferred the De-cIr n Uotf LJU ft U .la njn n h -L

upon the following men andwomen: Grace Abolt, HughCrawford, Harry Johnson, Gay-lord Knowlton, William Olson,Alice Paulsen, Richard Rhode,Delmar Steninger, J. F. Steckler,Percy Walley and Robert Landry.

Following the presentation ofdiplomas, the members retiredto the mezzanine floor, wherecongratulations were bestowedupon them by their friends.

Fallacies of Exercise

(Continued from Last Issue)

The first sign of muscular de-ficiency is usually seen in theenlarging waist measure, the ab-dominal sagging. This is accomp-anied by sway-back, as theweight of the pendulous abdo-men drags forward the small ofthe back. Compensatory curvesup higher are shown in thecaved in back of the neck. Thisresults in the flat chest. Thispitiful picture is easy to prevent,but difficult to cure. It is a bat-tle between the force of gravita-tion and the vital activity of theindividual body. Laziness seducesthe individual into quiescence,thereby awarding victory togravity. Gravity's pull downwardis constant. Nature's fight to liftis intermittent. It is an unequalcontest. The individual is handi-capped from the start. His bodywas built to stand in a horizontalposture with a leg at each of thefour corners. In such a case, theforce of gravitation is always inthe right direction, and tendstoward normal posture. Then hetips this body up on one end,throws it all out of plumb andgravity thereafter is fighting himall the rest of his life.

Tone is the ideal towardwhich the individual shouldaspire.

Osteopathic survey of the in-dividual body at regular inter-vals is followed by osteopathicadjustment and osteopathic pre-scription of the specific exercisesindicated for the particular pur-pose in each case. Self diagnosisand self treatment, or mail ordertreatment, are not only foolish,but dangerous.

Legal and Legislation

The following is a recent opin-ion from the Commission of theDepartment of Labor and Indus-try relative to insurance claimfor Medical service by Osteo-pathic Physicians and Surgeons.This action is anotherstep to-ward the goal to which we areentitled.

This department urges all itsmembers who have had claimsrefused to write the Departmentof Labor and Industry for appli-cation blanks and file your claimsin the regular manner, regard-less of how small the claim.

The opinion reads as follows:Defendants deny their liability

for the charges in this case be-cause they allege the services ofan Osteopathic physician are notmedical, surgical and hospitalservices within the meaning of+h- n;i"l r /nninn J nf A Prt"+ TT nf

the Compensation Law. Wenot agreed with this contention

The practice of Osteopathy is.recognized in this state and thereis created by law a State Boardof Osteopathic Registration andExamination with power to li--cense persons to treat diseasesof the human body by the sys--tem, method or science of Oste-opathy. Persons licensed underthis statute have just as much.right to practice their professionas physicians and surgeons un-der the medical act, dentists, orlawyers under their respectivelaws. We believe that the legis-lature in passing said section 4,Part II of the Workmen's Com-pensation Law providing formedical, surgical and hospitalservices and medicines to injuredemployees did not intend to limitsuch services to only practition-ers licensed to practice under theact for registration in medicineit would have been a very easymatter to have said so. THETERM "MEDICAL" IS SUFFI-CIENTLY BROAD TO INCLUDEPRACTITIONERS OF OSTEOP-ATHY, which is a system recog-nized by law for the treating ofdiseases of the human body.The science of treating diseasesof the human body has developedin many directions, and whileone body of practitioners may beinterested in confining such prac-tice to their system or method,the law recognizes no such mo-nopoly. We have no hesitationin saying that the service of anOsteopathic physician is medicalservice within the meaning ofthis section of the Law. SeeTowers vs. Gilders and Levin,101 Conn. 169, Atl. 366, involv-ing a construction of the Con-necticut statute, which is similarto our own, cited by Commission-er Jacobs in the case of Marsdenvs. Ora E. Williams and Pennsyl-vania Surety Company, decidedNovember 27, 1929, No. 2301.

The award of the Deputy com-missioner denying the Petition-er's claim for compensation is re-versed and Petitioner's claim for$148.00 is allowed, which the de-fendants are hereby directed topay.

Dated and entered at Lansing,Michigan, this Fourth day of De-cember, A. D. 1929.

Commissioner, Isabel Larill,Commissioner, Theo Jacobs,

Commissioner.

The philanthropic lady wasvisiting a school. To test thebrightness of a group of ratherpoor pupils she questioned:

"Children, which is the great-est of all virtues?"

No one answered."Think a little. What is it I

am doing when I give up timeand pleasure to come and talkwith you for your own good?"

A grimy fist went up."Well, what am I doing, little

boy?""Please, ma'm, buttin' in!"

0. B. CommentsDuring the past few years

there has been a continuous flowof letters and inquiries into myoffice on various subjects anddisturbances, practically all ofwhich can be classified under Ob-stetrics. I have always an-swered these gladly and am will-ing to make comment on all thatI possibly can, but it has reacheda condition lately that makes itimpossible to keep up with mycorrespondence, private practice,and teaching. At the request ofa few of the osteopathic practi-tioners, I will endeavor to makea few comments on various sub-jects of obstetrics and will writean article on the topics mostfrequently referred to in the va-rious letters I have received.These articles will appear in theregular issues of the Log Bookunder the heading of "O. B.Comments."

I want to thank the Log Bookeditors for the space they haveso kindly allotted me for thepublishing of these comments asthey will appear from time totime and for the additionalspace of these preliminary re-


A Wonderful GiftSome of you have heard of the

original slides that Dr. Wm.Smith used in his lecture on Os-teopathy in the early days.These slides are still intact andthru the generosity of Mrs.George Still they are now theproperty of Dr. H. V. Halladay.These slides were in possessionof Dr. Smith's son, Cuspert,whom some of you remember,and were purchased from himby Dr. George Still.

The collection consists ofabout 100 slides, many of whichare views of the "Old Doctor"with some of the early studentsstudying and demonstratingtechnic. There are also severalviews of the first school andearly graduates and facultymembers. The value of this col-lection of slides cannot be esti-mated, from a historic stand-point. Dr. Halladay says that hewill see that they are placed inthe proper hands when he isthrough with them.

The classes that have seenthem consider it a great privi-lege to be taken back to theearly days of our science. Onefeature of special interest con-sists of several views of a paradestaged when the first osteopath-ic law was passed in the State ofIowa. The collection should beseen by every member of theprofession.

Don't miss this.Dr. Halladay is famous as a bandmaster and will have some sur-prises for you.

We are indebted to Dr. Della Caldwell for this early copy ofthe program and she informs us that the program will go thruas published and for you to make your plans accordingly. Comeand spend the three full days with us.

DR. H. J. MARSHALL, Local Chairman.

Care of AthletesThose who are interested in

the care of athletes will be gladto know that a section is to beorganized at the coming nation-al convention in Philadelphiaand that several have alreadydesignated their intention to getbehind this movement and makeit the most interesting of thevarious subdivisions of the workof the A. 0. A.

Members of the professionthat have not been doing workof this kind have been missinga great field for osteopathicwork that cannot be done by anyother class of physicians. It of-fers our greatest field in whichto show better results than ob-tained by other than osteopathicmethods. These phases and manyothers will be taken up at thepreliminary meeting in Phila-delphia. Dr. E. A. Ward of Sag-inaw, Mich., has been collectingdata relative to this work andbeing national chairman of theBureau of Industrial and Insti-tutional Service, is getting thiswork started in a most efficientmanner. All interested alongthis line should write Dr. Wardand indicate their intention ofhelping to put this across.

Watch for later announce-ments relative to more definiteplans on this line of work.

Visitor at College

The College was honored re-cently by the visit of Dr. D. E.Hannan of Perry, Ia. The Doctoris chairman of the State Boardof examiners.

During the morning's visit,the Doctor addressed severalclasses on different matterswhich were astonishing, yetamusing to every one of themembers. Important matterswere taken up which will proveto be of benefit to every studentwho had the opportunity ofhearing the Doctor.

Every one, when the hardestexamination comes, should notact on a quick impulse, butshould reason the matter out be-fore committing himself, whenlater he may realize that hewas entirely wrong.

Dr. Hannan received a mightyapplause from the different aud-iences he addressed and all hopeto have the opportunity of hear-ing him in the assembly againin the near future.

Father is glad that he hasfinished working his son's way.through college.

ATLAS CLUBOur practical work, given

every other Monday night bysome prominent physician ofDes Moines, is going fine thissemester. This work was muchneglected last semester and wasa great loss. Feb. 24, Dr. J. P.Schwartz gave a very interestinglecture and demonstration onphysical examination. His lec-ture will long be rememberedfor the value it will bring toall of us. March 10 Dr. ByronCash gave a lecture on Labora-tory Diagnosis Dr. Cash's lec-ture was on urinary finding ofdifferent diseases. The Doctorhas promised to return at a laterdate and give a lecture on BloodChemistry. We will all look for-ward to the time of his return.

A Valentine Dance was heldat the house on Feb. 14. Thiswas the first dance we have heldthis semester. We were enter-tained by that famous recordingorchestra "Shawver's Colleg-ians". Everyone claims this asthe best dance we have held thisyear. We hope the famous bandwill return soon. The big featureof the evening was a piano soloby Harold McDonald. Haroldthinks a lot of our new GrandPiano.

We hope for a speedy recoveryof Bro. Paul Wynn, who wasoperated March 6 at the GeneralHospital by Dr. J. P. Schwartz.

The members of the AtlasClub wish to extend their deep-est sympathy to Carl Routzahnin his hours of sorrow.

Dr. Guyis to be congratulated on thewell written article and also onbeing able to get it before theFrench physicians in such anable manner. The article intro-duces the subject by mention ofthe research work being done inthe institute in California, andthen, after a discussion of theprinciples of osteopathy, he takesup six cases in his practice thathave been treated successfully.Dr. Guy has done a great thingfor Osteopathy on the continentby getting into the Paris Jour-nal.

An Anatomists Advice

We take pleasure in givingto all, the poem written inFrench by Dr. Guy, taken fromDr. Halladay's saying.

Below is the French quota-tion of it and the English trans-lation of the French script.

An Anatomnist's AdviceIf sometimes care, with its fine

needle,Traces on your brow the outline

of a furrow;If your look hardens and your

brow knits,Eighteen muscles toil immediate-

ly in answer

But when a smile brightens upyour face,

Four muscles bring into play allthis beautiful work.

Spare then your features and behappy

Under the charming enchant-ment of your joyous looks.

Conseil d'AnatomisteSi parfois le souci, de son fin-

aiguillon,Trace sur votre front l'esquisse

d'un sillon;Si le regard durcit et le sourcil

se fronce,Dix-huit muscles peinent aussi-

tot en reponse.

Mais lorsque le sourire eclaire levisage

Quatre muscles en jeu font toutce bel ouvrage

Epargnez done vos traits, etfaites des Heureux

Sous le charme enchanteur devos regards joyeux.

Post-Graduate Workand Surgery

We take pleasure in announc-ing in the near future the Osteo-pathic profession will have twomore Osteopathic surgeons intheir ranks. The surgeon of to-day is in demand, especially theOsteopathic surgeon.

Dr. Ray McFarlane and JamesSchaeffer are now taking theiradvanced work at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital, where theyhave finished their year interne-ship. Along with the advancedsurgery at the hospital they aretaking their post-graduate workat Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy. Dr. Scheaffer andMcFarlane graduated from StillCollege in the mid-year class of1929, and have been very activein the work at the hospital.These two physicians have oneof the best opportunities to getsurgery and get it right becauseof the opportunity of workingunder Dr. J. P. Schwartz, sur-geon in chief at the Des MoinesGeneral. Dr. Schwartz is con-sidered among the most out-standing surgeons in the Mid-West today, and anyone havingthe privilege to associate withhim or work under him will getthe best that science has to offer.

It is with great pleasure thatwe make this announcement andcongratulate the Doctors upontheir work, and wish them themost success that is attainablein their chosen profession.

From the FieldFebruary 25, 1930

Dr. F. B. McTigue, Editor,Iowa Osteopathic Bulletin,Emmetsburg, Iowa.Dear Doctor McTigue:

I have your letter under dateof February 22d and am pleasedto give you what information Ihave in my files relative to ourbeing permitted to use for ourpatients State and County pub-lic Hospitals.

I want to commend you as theEditor of our Bulletin for yourvigilance in ferreting out thesematters which pertain to ourvery existence, and giving themto the profession which your bul-letin represents. I should havesent this to you without yourhaving to ask for it, but havebeen extremely busy of late, andwill try and do better next time.You know it is not my disposi-

tion to keep from the professionmatters of this kind.

Assuring you of my continuedcooperation, I am,

Cordially yours,DR. D. E. HANNAN.

The Opinions:"The question having been

raised by various County Hospi-tals and Medical Societies, I amwriting to request an opinion asto whether or not the trusteesof a county public hospital (asprovided for under Chapter 269of the Iowa code) have the pow-er to exclude Osteopaths andChiropractors from the hospital.

"One of the medical societieshas just raised the questionagain and has cited an opinionfrom your office under date ofJune 26, 1928, relating to Oste-opath: Indigent persons, as ap-plied to section 2181 of the lawproviding for commitment to theState University Hospital. Thequestion was raised as to wheth-er that interpretation would ap-ply to Section 5364."

In reply we would say that wedo not believe that the legisla-ture, when they incorporatedsection 5364 in the chapter per-taining to public hospitals in-tended to discriminate againstany recognized branch of Medi-cal service and that the hospitalshould therefore permit Osteo-paths and Chiropractors to havethe same recognition in CountyPublic Hospitals as is given toDoctors practicing a regularcourse of Medicine.

Trusting this answers your in-quiry, I am,

Yours very truly,(signed) GERALD O. BLAKE,

Assistant Attorney GeneralGOB: EC.

It is with much regret that wemake the following announce-ment in regard to the suddendeath of Dr. Clyde Conn of Iron-wood, Michigan, within the lastfew weeks. Dr. Conn was oneof the leading osteopaths in thelocality. Success had made itsappearance after hard work ofintroducing the profession, whenhis sudden death occurred.

Word has been received thathis equipment and practice arefor sale, and a wonderful oppor-tunity for a recent graduate tolocate, because osteopathy is wellintroduced, through the untiringefforts of Dr. Conn.

Anyone interested may writeMrs. Conn at either: 118 SouthMansfield St., Ironwood, Michi-gan, or at 1165 Prospect Ave.,Toledo, Ohio.

We extend our sympathy toMrs. Conn in the time of her be-reavement.

He WritesWe are indebted to Dr. R.

Platt, Jr., of Houston, Texas,for an excellent article by himthat appeared in the HoustonGargoyle of March 2. Goodwork, Reg. More of you in thefield should get into these localbooster publications.

Some Causative Factors ofAbortions

The exact causes of abortionsin the various case histories Ihave received are not always eas-ily found, so following I willmention a few that may give aclew or a suggestion that way behelpful in determining the dis-turbing factor, or factors. Thefollowing classifications I havearbitrarily chosen for conven-ience of tabulating some! of theetiological factors.

Ova, or sperm. It has beenproven through various experi-ments on humans as well as ani-mals that the question is not al-ways sterility, but lowered fer-tility that leaves a childlesshome, and if pregnancy doeseventually occur it often termi-nates in a few months. A spermor ova of low vitality may be theresult of depleted, run downphysical conditions, variouschronic diseases, overwork, lackof fresh air, lack of sunshine,lack of proper sleep, vocationaltoxemias, as fumes, chemicals,X-rays, etc., alcoholism, exces-sive use of tobacco, sexual ex-cesses, some contraceptives,marked differences in ages, de-mineralization of the body, ane-mia, dietary deficiencies, and in-discrepancies.

FPetal. Improper developments,teratologic disturbances, diseasesof the fetal body, or its append-ages, as diseases of the Chorion,amnion, cord complications.

Uterus. Cervical erosions andlacerations, hypertrophic, hypo-trophic and infected conditions;glandular hypertrophy and pol-ypoid growths, tumors ,apoplec-tic uteri, infantile uteri; uterinedeformities.

Pelvis. Ovarion Dysfunctionsand tumors, salpingitis, malposi-tion of uterus, adhesions of uter-us, tumors or new growths, cys-titis, and pelvic inflammations,trophic disturbances and faultyinnervation from osseous or os-teopathic lesions.

Body (maternal) diseases ofa highly toxic nature, suddenchanges in body temperature, in-terference with aeration of bloodas cardiac and pulmonary dis-eases, nephritic diseases, ane-mias, depleted constitution, de-pleting diseases, starvation, dis-eases of alimentary tract inter-fering with assimilation, over-work, body deformities and lackof compensation or organic hy-potrophy, endocrine disturb-ances.

Trauma. Direct; blows, actsof violence, examinations, etc.,and mechanical stimulating in-fluences; indirect: lifting, falls,injuries and mechanical stimu-lating forces of a contributorynature.

Drugs and chemicals. Medi-cation direct as a criminal ortherapeutic measure, indirect asa therapeutic measure in treat-ing constitutional disturbancesindependent of the gravid uter-

us; accidental: gases; fumes(turpentine, carbon monoxide,and the like), and vocationalchemical poisoning.

Abstract. Fright, worry, an-ger, grief, disappointments, andthe like.

With a careful check over ofthe points mentioned under thevarious topics, one can readilyrealize the list of disturbances agrowing ovum faces, and a caus-ative factor to the arrest ofpregnancy found. So in conclu-sion will say that the correctionof the causative influences ofabortion will be the prophylacticand curative treatment of recur-rent abortions.

-Robert B. Bachman, D. O.

Special AssemblyStill College band opened the

assembly with "The NationalEmblem", which was followedby the popular number, "I'll Al-ways Be in Love With You".

Dr. H. V. Halladay then intro-duced Dr. McCaughan of Indi-ana, who is Inspector of Os-teopathic Colleges and a memberof the Board Trustees of theNational American OsteopathicAssociation.

Dr. McCaughan commented onthe band and Dr. Halladay's ableleadership, and stated it was themost outstanding band in theosteopathic profession.

The Doctor praised the schoolfrom every angle, its differentdepartments, and faculty. TheDoctor said: "When a studentleaves D. M. S. C. O. he can makea success if he will but applyhimself."

The Doctor stressed the im-portance of the National A. O.A., which insures a uniformstandard of education of all theosteopathic schools, and putsthem on an identical basis. Itacts as a guide and strengthensOsteopathy. Every student isexpected to become a memberwhen he graduates. The bene-fits derived from it are unlim-ited.

Students come to school on afaith and leave with a sciencewith which one can reason outproblems from every angle. Theirfaith is justified on the resultsthey obtain, see and receive frompractioners in the field.

The outstanding osteopathsfeel sorry for the Medics in manycases, for they are helpless,whereas an Osteopath can domany things The principle ofOsteopathy is the same as inearly years, with the addition ofnew ideas. Correct all malad-justment, and function will be-come normal. We cannot cureeverything, but let us rememberthat Osteopathy is yet in the em-bryonic stage.

Some of the students must beimpractical and scientific so thatthe research work can be car-ried on. It would not do for allof them to be practical. The ad-vancement must be carried on,proving future results.

Hearty applause followed thesplendid address. New ideaswere carried away by many. Theband closed assembly with alively tune.

Clark of 402 Mul-berry street, Marietta. She is agraduate of the local high schooland of the Marietta CommercialCollege and was stenographer inthe foreign department of theSafe-Cabinet Company. She isnow stenographer in the foreigndepartment of the PhiladelphiaRubber Works Company of Ak-ron, with which company shehas been connected for the pastfive years.

Dr. Fiasco is the son of Mrs.Mary Fiasco of 556 Elma street,Akron. He attended Akron highschool and university and is agraduate of the Still College ofOsteopathy at Des Moines, Iowa.He is now practicing his profes-sion in Akron.

Dr. and Mrs. Fiasco were at-tended by Mr. and Mrs. PaulGerard of Akron, and followingthe ceremony a wedding- supperwas served at the Gerard home.Dr. and Mrs. Fiasco took a briefhoneymoon trip in the East andthey are now at home; at 729 BellStreet, Akron. On Sunday, Feb-ruary 2, Mr. and Mrs. RalphPipes (Olga Clark) of Hudson,near Cleveland, entertained witha dinner honoring the bride andgroom. Mrs. Fiasco and Mrs.Pipes are sisters.

Dr. Filasco attended collegewith a number of Marietta menand both he and his bride havemany friends here who will has-ten to send their congratulationsand best wishes.

Births

We take great pleasure in announcing the birth of a boy, David Edward, to Dr. and Mrs. JE. Weimer of Marietta, O., on S1Valentine's Day. Many remember Dr. Weimer, and especiallby the name "Gussie". Everyone extends their congratulations to the Doctor and MrcWeimer.

Visitor (at fraternity)-Yoboys must have a wonderfttime here all together?

Brother-Yes, just like a bitcongenial poor farm!

The assembly of February 28

opened with a new march andoverture which proved'to be de-lightful to all.

Dr. C. W. Johnson introducedthe speaker for the occasion.Mr. Foster was present at thelaying of the first cornerstonefor the first Still College build-ing which was erected on Lo-cust street. At this memorabletime Mr. Foster gave the prin-cipal address of the occasion.Many years have passed sincethen, and now Mr. Foster re-turns to address a new genera-tion of Osteopaths. Harmony isthe one great principle in suc-cess of a science and if there issuch in existance the Osteopa-thic profession has it. It fur-thers strength and future forany science with unlimited ad-vancement.

Mr. Foster, formerly an in-surance man and believer in theevolution of healing, at the timeof the first Still College building,the people of Des Moines werecongratulated upon having thewonderful scientific school estab-lished here. An ardent and firmbeliever in Osteopathy, the won-derful results shown and thescience which proves cure whereothers have failed miserably.Mr. Foster made the statementthat he belives that medicinehas killed more than it hascured by unwise use and over-use of drugs.· His view of the College ispleasing it is one of the great-est, if not the greatest, in thecountry today, with its enor-mous clinic and other privilegesunattainable in many schools.Success depends upon the indi-vidual because the institution isperfected to the best that can beobtained.

Patriotism breeds loyalty-loyalty means success and theOsteopathic profession has it tothe nth degree.

The devotions of every one'sefforts to their work will spellsuccess to anyone who laterpractices it. Several interestingexamples were cited in regardto early American history, whichsuccess was made possible b3harmony between a memorablegroup of men.

Every one must work and set. forth an effort to be good citi

- zens and obey all laws, majo:y and minor. The advancement o:

the world is beyond realizatioI- to anyone, the rapidity of thes. day is beyond words. Mr. Foste:

congratulated every one of thistudent body on being in sucla wonderful institution of learning and once again emphasizethat success was due to honest:

g, and harmony existing betweeieveryone - with the scienc

built on the right basis and astraight course.

In closing, Mr. Foster con-gratulated Dr. Halladay and theband upon their wonderful ac-complishments in the musicalfield. A hearty applause brokeforth to show the appreciationof the student body. The morn-ing was immensely interestingto everyone because of the his-tory of Des Moines Still Collegebeing related by one who waspresent and a firm believer inthe Osteopathic profession.

The morning closed in theusual manner, with the bandplaying a splendid new marchas everyone was ready to leavethe assembly hall in good spiritsand eager for the next Fridaymorning to arrive.

From Pawtucket, R. I.

Dr. E. R. Lamb has sent us acopy of the Clinic published inBaltimore, in which an articleappears discussing lesions be-tween the Atlas and Axis. Itcontains more osteopathy thansome articles we have read ap-pearing in our own journals.Just another proof that the Med-ics are gradually turning to os-teopathic methods.

AssemblyThe assembly of February 21

was under the direction of Dr.Halladay, who opened the as-sembly, with his now famousStill College Band, playing TheStars and Stripes Forever, andSongs of the Nation. both ofwhich were well received.

A few letters on file in my of-fice asked various questions asto frequency, causes, and treat-ment for sterility. I will in thefollowing article mention a fewfacts and make some remarksabout a condition that is moreextensive and of more vital im-portance than a person on firstthought often appreciates. Thefollowing figures may give a lit-tle idea of existing conditions insome of the English-speakingcountries.

The percentages given may beonly an indefinite conclusion, asit is not always the case that achildless home is the result ofsterility on the part of the hus-band or wife. Simpson of Ed-inburgh quotes 10 per cent;Sharp places it at 16 per cent;Duncan, in quoting from theScottish register of births, holdsit 15 per cent. England givesabout the same.

Dr. Halladay has advancedthis side line of Osteopathy tothe nth degree. He is in greatdemand all over the country forhis knowledge and splendidwork in the athletic field.

The Doctor has advanced DesMoines Still College to one ofthe best, if not the best schoolin the understanding and prac-tical application of Osteopathyas an aid to athletes.

Every upper classman gets hisexperience along this line byworking with all the high schoolathletes in all' sports, besidesspecial work at the nationallyknown Drake Relays. Everyupper classman is always in de-mand by the large university atthe relays, who praise them tothe utmost for their wonderfulwork.

Dr. Halladay then turned theprogram over to Dr. C. W. John-son, who introduced Dr. Gaddis,editor of the A.O.A. It is indeeda pleasure to have such a dis-tinguished man of the professionas our guest.

Dr. Gaddis first of all congrat-ulated the band and praised itand said he wished they couldplay at the National Conventionin Philadelphia. The band meansharmony and rythm which is es-pecially adapted in Osteopathicschools, because of the harmonyand rythm in Osteopathy. TheDoctor stressed the fact thatthere should be more studentsin our colleges, because Osteo-pathy is making wonderful ad-vancements and causing muchdisturbance in the medical pro-fession. If Dr. Fishbein contin-ues with his lectures he willbreak the medical societies holdon the remainder of the humanrace that Osteopathy has notalready converted. Osteopathyis now welcomed by all broad-minded individuals, along withmany medical brethren.

The Doctor also suggested anAlumni Day to get all the dif-ferent classmates in the locali-ties together and have a reunion-return to their home townsand deliver lectures to the HighSchool students and endeavor toconvince them to take up Osteo-pathy. Work with these studentsand get them interested. Havethem visit the nearest college,send them literature and impres-sive case histories to cite exam-

We congratulate these menfor their advancement and ap-pointment to this position. Weare especially pleased to an-nounce the Des Moines Still Col-lege appointments, because theyare three of the outstandingmen of the college, and we lookfor great progress from them inregards to the osteopathic field.

Special AssemblyThe band opened the assembly

in honor of Dr. Charles Still, sonof the Old Doctor. Dr. Still hasbeen an earnest worker throughall the years of Osteopathy, sinceits birth.

Dr. Halladay turned the pro-gram over to Dr. J. P. Schwartz,Dean of Des Moines Still Col-lege. Dr. Schwartz announcedthat new by-laws and otherschool matters would be delayeduntil some time in the near fu-ture for discussion.

Dr. Halladay introduced Dr.Charles Still, oldest son of theoriginator of Osteopathy, Dr. A.T. Still. To start the morningoff in the proper procedure, theDoctor told several interestingstories which created an uproaramong the student body. Theaddress of the morning con-cerned the history and early pi-oneering in the early days of thenew science. In the olden daysDr. Still and his sons were spo-ken of as the "lightning bonesetters" and caused a great dealof excitement wherever theywould go to introduce the newhealing art. Dr. Still was aprominent physician and surgeonin Kansas, and during this timehe lost faith in the medical sci-

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAS CLUBWith the arrival of spring,

the yard has received a thororaking and many other proced-ures which are common to seewith the arrival of such wonder-ful weather.

Word was received from Dr.L. C. Nicholsen, who is nowpracticing at Northwood, Iowa.From all reports, Ole is doingfine. Keep up the good work,"Ole".

We would be pleased to hearfrom the rest of the Brothers inthe field, to let us know howeverything is progressing.

Bill Rose, alias Elmer Kane,is now limbering up his pitchingarm for the inter-fraternity baseball games that will soon beunder way. From the looks ofthings, Rose is going to make itplenty tough for the opposingteams.

A big polo player has madehis appearance around thehouse lately with a gorgeousnew polo shirt. We wonder if heis going to display his abilitybefore the King this summer?

Whoopee Taylor is now betterknown as the Big FertilizerMagnet from St. Paul. Whatmakes the grass grow greener,Taylor?

We take great pleasure inannouncing the pledging of Jos-eph Devine of Des Moines.

IOTA TAU SIGMAIt hardly seems possible, but

there is but one more issue ofThe Log Book before we leaveour studies for a three-months'vacation. It is quite evident thatevery one will welcome May 29with a smile.

Bros. Herrick, Cudden andMurray motored to Chicago thelast week in March. On their re-turn, they reported having a finetime.

A very pleasant dance washeld at the house April 4. Musicwas furnished by Shops Piazzaorchestra. Every one apparentlyhad a wonderful time and arelooking forward to the next bigdance. Perhaps one of the thingswhich made the function verypleasant was the warm eveningand the beautiful moon.

Dr. E. S.Winslow of Water-ville, Maine, has been the guestof Bro. Leslie Spaulding for thepast ten days. Dr. Winslow wasa welcome visitor and we hopehe can visit us again in the verynear future.

Word has been received fromBro. Hovis, class of May, 1928,who is practicing in Detroit,Mich. We have also heard fromBro. Belf, who is also practicingin Detroit. We extend our bestwishes to both Doctors and want

them to know that we appreciate the "Attic" dtheir dropping us a line now andthen.

Bro. Delmar Steninger, classof January, 1930, was a week-end guest, and we hope that hecan come and see us often. Bestof luck from us all, "Stenny".

One of the most unusual GolfTournaments is to be held at theWaveland golf course next week,the contestants, Bros. Beldenand Hewlett are to play Bros.Routzahn and Koch for thechampionship of "World's WorstGolfers". Every golfer in thehouse is hiding his golf balls, asthings look now, this quartettewill use plenty of them.

Bro. Wigal decided that heneeded but one car this spring,so he sold his "Sport Touring"and is driving his roadster.

Bro. Peterson entertained afriend from Ames over the week-end. It seems that he receives alot of mail from that town itmay possibly be a "boy friend".

Bro. Red Lang has solved theproblem why two "red heads"can't get along. But try and getit out of him. Maybe Bro. JuddKoch knows something about it,too, he's also quiet.

We take great pleasure in an-nouncing the pledging of JohnAgnew.

Frank Shaffer demonstrateshis "leadership among men" inpiloting the P. S. G.'s throughanother successful dance, Fridaynight, March 21. Jay Stivensonlent his aid in skillfully puttingthe "Punch" in the party-notliterally but in the way of a de-licious, non-intoxicating bever-age. Keep your ears open for thedate of next dance, which willbe "bigger and better".

We hear that Scat will special-ize in colonies. As to his successor failure, we can only say thathe should succeed as "practicemakes perfect".

Walt Madson is in the spot-light now. The "Garage Mys-tery" is solved.

Who said that the Frosh wereinnocent of ability! Doc Naylorproves to us the erroneousnessof this misunderstanding.

Evidence reveals to us a verystartling disclosure. Mysteriousand incredulous as it may seem,we must accept the fact of thepresence of royal German heri-tage in our midst. Outside of re-ferring the reader to Br. Arm-brust, further information is im-possible.

M. J. Schwartz, "The Emi-nent" surely has a varied num-ber of talents, but when' he be-gins washing clothes, pushingbaby carriages, and playing thenurse-maid-well, what wouldyou think?

SIGMA CHI OMEGASince the last issue of The

Log Book we have held two veryinteresting meetings. On Feb. 26we had the pleasure of listeningto a lecture by Dr. Brock, D. D.S., who is in charge of the dentalwork at Polyclinic hospital. Heexhibited numerous slides andX-Ray pictures of dental pathol-ogy, giving the history and thesymptoms of each case.

It was also pointed out howoral focal infection is often theprimary lesion of a general sys-temic condition.

Equally interesting was themeeting March 10. On this oc-casion we were privileged tohave with us Dr. H. V. Halladay,who gave an illustrated talk onthe early happenings around thetown of Kirksville, Mo., showingthe first school, the "Old Doctor"and his associates. We are cer-tainly glad to have had this op-portunity, as many of the slidesare the only pictures now inexsistence.

We are now looking forwardto our annual picnic, and by allindications, this year's affairshould be a big success, as en-thusiasm runs high.

Osteopathy An Aid ToAthletes

The part played by osteopathyin keeping athletes physically fithas received comparatively littlepublicity. Te fact is, however,that some of the most prominentteams and individual athleteshave for many years employedosteopathic physicians to safe-guard their health and keepthem in the best possible condi-tion.

Every year more osteopathicphysicians are being engaged asphysicians to athletic clubs andteams, while the emergency callson members of the profession forosteopathic first aid steadily in-crease in number.

The Osteopathic Magazineprints the following by Dr.Thomas B. Powell, who has hadwide experience in athletic work.

"Nothing slows a man up inthe line so effectually as lesionsin the lower spinal area. On thetrack nothing is so potent in'cutting the wind' as a lesion inthe upper dorsal area."

Not only does osteopathy putthe men back in the game quick-ly, but it corrects those condi-tions which may lead to graverconsequences later on. Manyplayers suffer from slight sprainsand twists, which, dismissedlightly at the time, show in theirwork later, perhaps in some dis-eased condition which might wellhave been avoided if osteopathyhad been employed in time.

The gross injury, the fractureand the dislocation are usuallytaken care of at the time and thepermanent damage does not as arule come from these. It is theminor injuries expected to dis-appear without any special treat-ment which keep the men out ofthe game and often result ingrave pathology later.

To compile a complete list ofbaseball and football team thatare under constant osteopathiccare would be a long task. In-cluded in the list would be suchwell known teams as the St. Lou-is Cardinals in baseball and theNotre Dame team in football.

Gene Tunney had osteopathicattention every day during thetime he was training for thebout with Jack Dempsey whichmade Tunney heavyweight cham-pion of the world.

From Gene Tunney's own sto-ry of "How Osteopathy HelpedMe Win", published some timeago, we select the following par-agraph: "The success of everyman in any endeavor of life isdue in main to himself, but al-

ways there are factors and hu-mans who are vital cogs in themachine that lifted him upwardto the heights."

After receiving an injury froma fall while working in a Holly-wood movie, Tunney consultedseveral physicians, each one giv-ing some different diagnosis ofthe condition, but agreeing onone thing-that he was out ofthe prize ring, probably forever.

"Right now I want to say,"says Gene, that if it had not beenfor the osteopathic physiciansand surgeon, it is likely that Inever would have fought JackDempsey that September, and itis a positive certainty that Iwould not have been heavy-weight champion of the world."

O. B. Comments(Continued from page 1)

ing from 8 to 17. Eden, in a re-port of cases studied since 1890,quotes a 10 per cent sterility in675 marriages. Giles in 1919differentiated between the work-ing class and the leisure class,claiming a sterility of 10 percent for the former and 16 percent for the latter.

We have a few interesting re-ports given in the United States.While it is true that the researchwork may be more or less limitedbecause the tedious work is doneby individuals on their own re-sources, yet it would vary verylittle if a report were given onthe entire registration district ofthe United States.

Hickner of New York states10 per cent. Macumber of Bos-ton quotes 12 per cent. The wo-man's club of Massachusettsgives as a result of their survey13 per cent.

The report from one thousandquestionnaires in the militarydraft of 1918 of registrants whowere married two years or moreshowed childless homes in 18 percent. A larger series would haveto be reviewed, however, to givean acceptable figure.

The Harvard class question-naire of the secretaries for the25 year class showed 478 an-swered about marriage and chil-dren; of these there were 64childless homes, or 13 per cent.

In quoting from my personalrecords, I find childless homesin 9.1 per cent of 2,007 mar-riages. I do not quote these fig-ures as a representative percent-age, because of my specialty.

Three points must be borne inmind in reviewing these figures.First, birth control, second a truesterility, and third a lowered fer-tility. A careful study of achildless home ofttimes revealesa lowered fertility and not a truesterility. To explain more clear-ly lowered fertility and sterilityI will refer to an article in theJournal of Experimental Zool-ogy of 1918-1919 by Dr. HelenKing. In experiments on ratsfed on an average diet of hu-mans on standardized and calcu-lated diet, for a generation, com-plete, yet low in one element,the following was noted: On thefirst mating, 65 per cent wereproductive, and 35 per cent were

not. Remated again and again,the average fertility was 82 percent. In these experiments afact was established previouslyunknown, that sterile matings ofmoderately reduced fertility, ifremated with one of a high fer-tility, it would prove fertile toboth partners.

The following report of 117fruitless marriages may be ofvalue in determining the dis-turbing factor, so will mention afew of the more importantpoints. Pregnancy occurred in69 of the 117 couples. Informa-tion on some of the remaining48 couples is limited, droppedfrom sight or discontinued treat-ment, and 28 were absolutelyhopeless.

There were 11 males with deadsperms or none at all. Of thewomen I considered 19 hopelessfrom a pathological condition ofthe pelvis. Only in one instancedid I find both the husband andwife hopeless. Of the 69 preg-nancies, 15 conceived after pel-vic operations. Of the remain-ing 48, three had undergone op-erations that should have bet-tered their conditions, as the op-eration itself should not renderthem sterile. Yet they were notfruitful up to the time theydropped from observation. Hereis a point of unusual interest.Of the 16 cervical dilations andcurettement that were per-formed, only two conceived as adirect result of the operation.

Of the 69 pregnancies, nineaborted and three were prema-ture. Of the nine that aborted,two conceived again and went toterm. Two did not conceiveagain up until they dropped fromobservation. Of the remainingfive, I have no history.

In looking over these cases wecan draw the following conclu-sions: There were 28 hopeless,20 couples as far as known re-latively sterile, and 69 pregnan-cies.

The question then is not oneof sterility entirely, as abouttwo-thirds of these cases provedsuccessful to correction of ab-normal conditions, whether of aneurotic, physical, domestic, vo-cational or climatic nature.

In diagnosing the cause, acareful microscopic examinationshould be made, first, of an un-contaminated specimen. Notingmucus, starch bodies, hyalinebodies or casts, blood or eviden-ces of inflammatory changes inthe seminal vesicles, types ofsperms numbers, duration of mo-bility, that will give an index ofduration of life and vitality.This will give one the results ofa chemical reaction that so oftenhave been found to be antagonis-tic. These results noted, one cannow proceed in determining thecausative factor of the abnormalparty and pathological disturb-ances deeper seated in the geni-tal tract.

Irrespective of what our fu-ture may be,today is a portion ofeternity over which we have con-trol.

ence because it failed to give re-sults in so many cases. Due tothis, the Doctor started study-ing and attempted working withthe spine and accomplished manywonderful things. The newtreatment spread like wild fire,and in a short time the churchof which Dr. Still was a mem-ber read him out because theythought he was trying to imi-tate the healings of the divine.After such a crushing blow thefamily moved to Missouri, andafter a struggle to exist and ad-vance his science of healing, theDoctor finally convinced the peo-ple of his new method of heal-ing. After another struggle,the charter for the first schoolwas granted, with Dr. WilliamSmith as an instructor. Dr.Smith was a member of the Roy-al College of Surgeons, in Edin-burgh, Scotland.

The first class of the new col-lege of healing consisted of elev-en students eager for the newscience of healing. The classesgradually increased until todaythere are Osteopathic collegeslocated all over the country andproducing the most efficient phy-sicians of the healing science.Recognition is granted every-where now since the results ofthe science of healing have con-vinced everyone of the value ofOsteopathy.

It was indeed a pleasure tohave Dr. Charles Still with us,and we feel very much honoredthat he spared several hours ofhis valuable time to be with us.The history of the science wasgiven by one who actually knowsits origin along with the fightfor its existence. A mighty ap-plause followed Dr. Still's inter-esting address. Everyone isanxiously waiting for the Doc-tor to return in the near futureand continue with the wonderfulhistory.

Dr. Halladay again took chargeof the morning's program, andconcluded the assembly with sev-eral popular pieces and a pleas-ing march.

AssemblyThe school band opened the

assembly of March 21 with asplendid march which was wellreceived by the student body.The second number, "CrenolineDays", featured the baritone sec-tion of the band. This selectionis an old favorite of everyone.

The program was then turnedover to Dr. Spring, who intro-duced Mr. Harlan, who firstcongratulated the school uponits progress since the early yearswhen first it started and thengave a very fine talk on "TheIndian", One of the interestingthings he told was-that thereare only two distinct tribes ofIndians, but that they speakmany languages.

Applicants will be examinedin the following subjects: Chem-istry and Medical Jurisprudence,anatomy and embryology, physi-ology, Histology and Pathology,Diagnosis (Physical and Labora-tory), Bacteriology and Hygiene,Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sur-gery, Principles and Practice ofOsteopathy.

Applications should be filedwith the Board at least one weekprior to date of examination.

Applicants for reciprocity musthave engaged in practice for atleast one year in the state inwhich license was granted byexamination; and they must havemet legal requirements equal tothe requirements in force inWest Virginia at the time ofsuch license.

Application blanks may be se-cured by writing the Secretary,Guy E. Morris, D. O., 541-542Empire Bank Building Clarks-burg, West Virginia.

P. S. The West Virginia Os-teopathic Society will hold itsannual meeting on Monday andTuesday, June 16 and 17, pre-ceding the meeting of the StateBoard. This will give applicantsan opportunity to meet practi-cally all the osteopathic physi-cians of the state and discusspossible locations with them.

Dr. J. F. Steckler, Osteopathicphysician, of Des Moines, haspurchased my practice and willtake possession April 15. Hewill be in the office with meafter April 7, where I will bepleased to have him meet myformer patients.

Dr. Steckler comes well recom-mended and has had hospital andoffice experience in Des Moinesin general and obstetrical prac-tice. In conjunction with oste-opathy he will use the Hanoviaquartz light or ultra-violet treat-ment and the diathermy that Iinstalled some time ago that hasgiven excellent results.

Organize the physicians iryour community and you wilget results from every angle-such as the Osteopaths did ii

California. Results and advance-ment is all that is necessary toconvince any individual-every-one try! The statistics from Cal-ifornia show the results to bevery gratifying. In the osteo-pathic units the statistics show50% less deaths than the Med-ical unit, and less period of ill-ness. This proved to be the su-preme test and also the superior-ity which exists everywhere.

Osteopathy is being taught inthe most scientific way and isproducing competent physicianswho achieve marvelous results.Every one stand pat on everycase and give them the best inthe science of healing.

Dr. Gaddis was well receivedby the student body, all of whomappreciated his excellent addressand anxiously await an oppor-tunity of hearing him again inthe near future.

Mr. Harlan stated that it isvery interesting to pry into theIndian language and to find outthe meaning of their words."Young Bear" an alert youngIndian, is an associate of Mr.Harlan's. This talk proved to beespecially interesting to all be-cause of Mr. Harlan's interestin languages and also his beingknown as a State Curiour.

The band then offered JudKoch's arrangement of a newschool song, the student bodyjoining in with the words. Theplaying of new songs will be aweekly feature so that a newschool song can be selected.

Deaths

Mrs. Rolla HookIt is with much regret that we

make the announcement of thedeath of Mrs. Rolla Hook, wifeof Dr. Hook, who died suddenlyat her home in Logan, Iowa, onMarch 28, 1930. Mrs. Hook issurvived by a daughter, hermother, and the Doctor.

The members of the Osteo-pathic Association extend theirsincere sympathy to Dr. Hookand family.

Dr. Russell GladieuxIt is with a great deal of re-

gret that we make announce-ment of the death of Dr. RussellGladieux of Grand Rapids, Mich.The Doctor died on March 24thfrom pneumonia. The funeralservices were held at Toledo, O.

Dr. Gladieux was a member ofthe class of 1926, and word ofhis death will cause much regretto the members of the college atthat time.

The members of the collegeand osteopathic profession ex-tend their most sincere sympathyto the surviving members of thefamily.

The Oscillatory Move-ments of the Sacrum

This description is applied tothe movements at the sacro-iliacjoint, in an old medical textbook, "The Science and Art ofMidwifery", owned by Dr. W. A.Cate, a Homeopathic physician,whose son is a student at DesMoines Still College.

The following quotation istaken from this text, coyrightedin 1881, written by WilliamThompson Lusk, A. M., M. D.,who was a professor of Obstet-rics in Bellevue Hospital MedicalCollege:

"Zagless first pointed out thatin spite of the close union at thesacro-iliac articulation, a certaindegree of mobility between thesacrum and the iliac bones ex-isted. Thus, in defecation, whenthe body is thrown forward, thepromontory is tilted toward thesymphysis, and the inferior ex-tremity of the sacrum is thrownbackward, thereby enlarging theoutlet of the pelvis. MatthewsDuncan describes similar move-ments, only exaggerated in ex-tent, during pregnancy, andpoints out how they practicallycontribute to facilitate labor."

The author continues, in prac-tically the same clear and con-cise words as those used by Dr.H. V. Halladay in his lectureshere, describing the sacro-iliacmovements during labor.

To quote further: "Luschahas shown that in place of an in-tervening plate of cartilage, sec-tion demonstrates the existanceof a true synovial membrane,limiting a narrow but well-de-fined joint cavity."

1 Luscha's and Duncan's aret names familiar to all Anatomists,and Obstetriticians. Zaglass' is

more obscure, but-it is inter-t esting to note that some of the

"old timers" besides A. T. Still,

took their eyes off the pestil, andtheir noses from the mortarlong enough to observe humanbeings.

We might also suggest thatour "modern" medical brethrenwould do well to reread thewritings of their earlier in-vestigators, before awardingpalms for new discoveries. But-perhaps they have-?

H. D. C.

Visitor at the CollegeWaiving political affairs for an

afternoon in favor of a secondinterest which has engaged hisattention for several years, Dan-iel W. Hoan, socialist mayor ofMilwaukee, visited Des MoinesStill College on March 17.

With Mrs. Hoan, the mayorwas in Des Moines in the inter-ests of a political party whichhe hopes to establish in theUnited States within the twoyears. It will be a combinationof the Socialist party and theLabor Unions and will corre-spond to the Labor party inEngland.

With Maurice J. Schwartz,Harold Withrow and Carl Blech,all of Milwaukee, Mr. and Mrs.Hoan came to the college whereMrs. Hoan was given a treat-ment by Dr. L. L. Facto. Mean-while, the men took the mayoron a tour of inspection.

An Osteopathic enthusiast fora number of years, Mr Hoan wasshown the classrooms, dissectingroom, the treatment rooms, theclinic, and the laboratories. Hewas introduced to President C.W. Johnson and Dr. H. V. Hala-day.

Neither Mayor nor Mrs. Hoanknew that a college of Osteopa-thy was located in Des Moines,but during a visit earlier in theday with the Milwaukee studentsMrs. Hoan was asked to comedown for a treatment instead ofmerely going to her room torest before an appointment withher hairdresser. Delighted thatshe could get such a treatmenthere, she made the trip to thecollege for her appointment,thereby missing her other en-gagement with the beauty shop.

Upon their departure, both ex-pressed the pleasure derivedfrom the visit t o the college.They declared they were gladto see three Milwaukee men inthe work and invited them totheir home when they return toWisconsin.

Band Entertains I. O. A.

On the evening of May 13th,the Des Moines Still CollegeBand played a concert at theHoyt Sherman Place in honor ofthe Iowa Osteopathic Associa-tion. The state convention wasjust under way and many at-tended the concert, and on de-parting, praised the band veryhighly. Dr. Halladay was con-gratu-lated--- 'upo.n h-s success i--ndeveloping such a splendid or-ganization. The doctor statedthe fact that every seventh stu-dent in the entire college wasan accomplished musician. It isindeed an exception to find sucha comparison in any other col-lege in the country.

The program opened with themarch entitled "Gloria" follow-ed by the "American LegionOverture" and the concludingnumber of the first series wasentitled "Some of These Days".The next feature of the evening'sprogram was the Still CollegeQuartette, composed of MillardHydeman, H. E. Skinner, Wil-liam Bankes and J. R. Forbes,who accompanied them upon theBaldwin Grand. Several pleasingnumbers were offered by thequartette.. The next feature was "The

Addresses Science Club

Dr. C. W. Johnson, presidentof Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy, addressed the Sci-ence Club of Drake Universityalong with the pre-medical stu-dents. The meeting was incharge of Prof. Rider, one ofthe members of the club. Allmembers of the science depart-ment of the University werepresent, as well as the studentstaking pre-medic work.

Dr. Johnson addressed thegroup on the science, basic prin-ciples, fundamental and physo-logical factors of Osteopathy.A number of the pre-medicstudents have inquired as to thematriculation for the fall term,and this is a convincing factorthat the evening was a successin every way.

Dr. Johnson received manycompliments upon his addressand the anatomical demonstra-tion he gave along with the prin-ciples of the Osteopathic pro-fession. This is one- more boost-ing factor for the college, andthere is no one more capablethan Dr. Johnson to addresssuch an outstanding group ofmen upon a scientific subject.

Many interesting addresseswere given by the physicians onthe program and the interestshown by all who attended wasgratifying, not only to the gueston the program, but to the mem-bers of the state committee.

Dr. H. J. Marshall is to becongratulated upon his work aschairman of the group whicharranged the proceedures of theconvention. It was indeed fault-less and everyone is hoping foranother as successful in 1931,but with a larger attendance.

The following figures repre-sent the physicians who regis-tered during the convention-eighty-eight were listed in at-tending, with nineteen guestspresent. Although the attend-ance was small, the progressiveattitude taken by all was con-vincing enough to cause one tooverlook the small gathering.

During the business meetingWednesday, May 14, the follow-ing men were elected for thecoming year: president, Dr. J. K.Johnson of Jefferson was re-elected; vice-president, Dr. R. R.Pearson of Muscatine; and Dr.C. N. Stryker of Sioux City wasre-elected to serve at Secretaryand Treasurer.

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAS CLUBWith the school year of 1930

drawing close to the end, manythings of interest are keepingthe boys well occupied.

Our spring dance was a splen-did success because of the manythings of interest that happened.The dance started at two a. m.Saturday, May 10, and wasstopped by request at three-fif-teen a. m. Cars were assembledand everyone went for a ride andreturned to the house about fiveo'clock and the dancing was con-tinued until six o'clock. Follow-ing the dance, a two coursebreakfast was served at the Co-terie Tea Room. Then everyonedeparted expressing the wonder-ful time they had enjoyed. Themusic was furnished by Wray'sCollegians.

Dr. Warthman, a member ofthe class of '27, was present atthe dance. The doctor is here toattend the State convention.

We hope many of the doctorswill pay us a visit at the housewhile they are here for the con-vention.

Our semi-annual banquet willbe held on May 15, at YounkersTearoom, at six o'clock. Thiswill be the last banquet of theyear and also for the followingmembers: Myron Monger, Don-ald Hughes, E. L. Faus, AlanNelson, Norman Weir, NormanWelch, Harry Skinner, C. H.Fedson, Duward Wire, and L. A.Utterback. We regret in losingthe above mentioned men, butare glad they are going out intothe field to practice, and wish toextend to them our thanks forthe things they have done forthe Atlas club. We feel they willdo just as much for the com-munity in which they locate.

Dr. B. J. Jones of Cedar Rap-ids, dropped in to see us for ashort time on May 4th. We arealways glad to see the alumni,and, to hear from them.

Our spring tournaments be-tween the fraternities are aboutover. The base ball games wereof much interest and everyonehad a good time. At times itdidn't look like we would haveenough men out to play a gamebut by borrowing a player ortwo, we would find a team. Wedidn't win the cup but neverthe-less we had a very good time.The golf games are not all play-ed yet. They will be finished bythe middle of the month.

We learned last week that EdSchwartzbaugh of Dayton, Ohiowas formerly a resident of Mis-souri.

We are pleased to announcethe appointment of the following

men to the Detroit OsteopathicHospital: Myron Monger, Nor-man Weir, and H. E. Skinner.

IOTA TAU SIGMAAt last the final lap of the

school year has arrived, May,which is undoubtedly the busiestmonth for us, was welcomed byeveryone, including Seniors, al-though all of them hate to leavethe gang.

We are giving a banquet May16 at Younkers Tearoom, to befollowed by a dance at the househonoring the Seniors. The mengraduating and entering thefield, are: Bros. Cudden, Her-rick, Kinter, Lang, Morrow,Nowlin, Quartel, and Wigal. Weexpress our hearty congratula-tion and wish these men greatsuccess in the future.

We were honored by a visitfrom Bro. Russ Morgan of St.Ansgar, over the week-end ofthe Drake Relays. Bro. Morganstated that he is very anxiousfor school to begin and to beback with the boys.

Inter-fraternity base ball andgolf are right in full swing now,and for the first few days of thetournaments, there were somepretty lame backs and armsaround the house, but now allhave been hardened for the oc-casion. We have won our shareand hope to do better.

We have been fortunate thusfar this spring regarding sick-ness, having had very little, ifany, in the house since last win-ter, but every one is sufferingwith "spring fever".

Bros. Cook, Johnson, Obenaur,Hewlette and Belden, have deci-ded to remain in Des Moines thissummer, finishing their dissec-tion and to get in a few treat-ments. They should all be A-1students next fall, and show ushome-loving boys up.

We take great pleasure in an-nouncing the pledging of Mr.Dunham of Columbus, Ohio, andMr. Whetstein of Wellman, Ia.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAAnother year rolls by, and

-again we bid a sad farewell toour outgoing seniors. At thestag banquet, Wednesdty, May 14these men told how glad theywere to complete their work andhow anxious they were to get lo-cated. Our hopes for success areextended to: O. O. Taylor, M.V. Westberg, F. K. Smith, and J.E. Cochran.

The dance, Friday, May 16,last dance of the year, will be,we all feel sure, the best yet.When our readers see this theycan rest assured that it has beena huge success.

Bro. Ripley is surely "TheBusy Man." We scarce see himat all, but his countenance isonly the more restful to the eyeswhen we do. If he is as occu-pied five years from now as heis now, his way is paved.

A maid in distress-Schwartzto the rescue-oh! what chival-ry! See Stoddard for details.

F. Shaffer should go in for po-sition of "match maker." He is

so popular with the fair sex thatwhen you want a date-just askhim, state specifications, andshe's yours. He gets you, though,either coming or going, for some-thing or other.

Chuck Stoike says that work-ing overtime has been keepinghim out late these nights. Some-how his excuses don't seem toring true.

If some of these busy house-wives could have seen Bros. Mad-son and Poundstone come homeafter a Saturday night's bargainshopping, I'm about certain theywould have been hired.

Daddy Hecker takes to nightlycold baths. I know of one, how-ever, that was entirely involun-tary.

Bro. Naylor started in on hisnew job as house manager withclub swinging. I'm afraid he'llneed two clubs before he'sthrough.

Dr. Groff of Mason City visit-ed us. Glad to see you, Doc.

This being the last issue,here's wishing everyone a suc-cessful summer.

See you at the Convention.

AssemblyThe assembly of March 7th

was opened by the band playingthe favorite march, "Emblem ofFreedom", and the famouspiece, "Pilgrims' Chorus" fromTannhauser. These two num-bers received a mighty applausefrom the student body.

The rest of the morning's pro-gram was then turned over toDr. Facto, who introduced Mr.Fenton, organizer of the Ameri-can Institute of Business, who in-troduced his male quartet to theschool. The quartet offered sev-eral splendid numbers, and wereaccompanied by Mr. Noble at thepiano. Mr. Noble plays the pic-colo in the Des Moines Still Col-lege band. As a feature of themorning the quartet dedicated"Singing in the Bath Tub" to Dr.Halladay, Robert, Herrick and J.R. Forbes, all members of theband. We wonder why. Rathera dirty trick-Eh, what?

Mr. Fenton congratulated Dr.Halladay upon the progress ofthe band and stressed the factthat it is one of the outstandingbands in the city of Des Moines.

Hearty applause finally calledthe quartet back, and they sangas an encore, "Darktown Strut-ters' Ball." Following thisnumber another member gave areading which was enjoyed byall. A mighty applause was of-fered to show the appreciationof the student body for the finetalent that was offered on themorning's program. The assem-bly was then closed by the bandplaying a snappy march as eve-ryone departed from the assem-bly hall.

Christianity is the spirit andquality of life breathed into peo-ple from fellowship with Jesus.-Harry Emerson Fosdick.

AssemblyThe band opened the assembly

on March 28 with a march-"From Tropic to Tropic". A newschool song was then introducedbeing played first by the bandand then sung by a trio com-posed of Mike Cronan, Bankesand Hydeman, accompanied byDr. H. V. Halladay.

Dr. Halladay then turned theprogram over to Mrs. Innes, whois better known to the studentbody as "Sergeant" Innes. Theprogram was carried out verycleverly as a Spring Rodeo feat-uring "Eat 'em Alive" Skinnerin "Barber Shop Tonic" - butSkinner failed to appear, due toflat feet and housemaid's knee.

Slim Hydeman gave a vocalnumber which proved popularwith the school teachers of thewest. The solo, "AfternoonRises", received a hearty ap-plause. As his second number,Mr. Hydeman sang "Oh, SweetMystery of Life".

The next event of the Rodeowas fancy riding, bucking, etc.,featuring "Jud Kock" on thexylophone. The next part of thisfeature offered the combinationof Stewart and Koch.

Robert Forbes and Don Arry-ington then played a tromboneduet. They were accompanied by"Sergeant" Innes, who gave her-self away as to another one ofher talents. After a hearty ap-plause, Fedson, Dahl, Arrying-ton and Forbes played an instru-mental encore of many of the oldfavorites.

The next and supreme actfeatured Joe Devine on the ban-jo. This was followed by FredStuart, Devine and Friend, of-fering "St. Joe's Infirmary".

A tap dance by Friend endedthe Rodeo.

Everyone voted the SpringRodeo a huge success.

President --------- C. W. Johnsor


Editor - ..-. .......L. A. Utterback


The Editor's FarewellThe final logging has been

made and the school year israpidly drawing to a close. It iswith regret that the journey isabout to end and that the publi-cation must be turned over tothe new editor. It has been apleasure to record the activities

....of the college and profession forthe physicans, our students andfriends of the science.

Turning the logging over tothe new editor, Robert Homan,who will record its journey foranother year, I do so knowingthat he will direct his energiesand thoughts to furthering abetter paper, finer school andprofession.

So with this issue I bid a fare-well to all who have helped andwho have been so kind in aiding,especially the faculty advisor,Dr. H. V. Halladay, who gavehis time and advice.

I now turn the voyage over tothe new editor and bid himGod speed and success.

L. A. UTTERBACK.

Addreseses ConventionDr. H. V. Halladay addressed

the state convention May 14th,on the subject of "The CervicalRegion". The doctor reviewedthe anatomical structures of theregion so as to assure the im-portance of the area. The cervi-cal area was stressed as to itsimportance to the Osteopathicscience. The sympathetic systemwas also taken up and factswere stated that treatment inthis area would be all that isnecessary in the treatment if itshould be considered that way.Other important factors of thecervical region were emphatic-ally brought forth, such as thedistribution and course of six ofthe twelve cranial nerves thruthe area concerned.

Technic in the area was nextin consideration and the carethat should be taken when deal-ing with cervical technic. Thedelicate structure as well as im-portant ones in this area shouldalways be in the minds of everyOsteopath when applying thescience. Much injury can resultfrom unskillful and crude man-ipulation of this region.

The doctor received a heartyapplause as he concluded his ad-dress and it was indeed gratify-ing to see the interest taken byhis hearers. The address waswell received and should proveof benefit to all present, in moreways than one.

Des Moines GeneralHospital

The following is a report othe hospital work at Des Moine,General. The work at the hospital has been heavy and thisproves gratifying to those wh(have worked to make such aroutstanding Osteopathic institu.tion. Through the efforts of DrJ. P.

Visitor At College

Dr. McManis of Kirksville,visited the college a few daysago to give the senior class fur-ther technic with his famoustable. Dr. McManis introducedsome very interesting pieces oftechnic and cleared up manyfacts for the present members,just before entering the field.

The attendance was indeedgratifying to the doctor, becauseof the interest shown, not onlyby the senior class but by manyother lower classmen. Many areanxiously awaiting the doctor'sreturn to acquire more of hissplendid technic before enteringthe field.

Dr. McCaughan Writes

Des Moines Still College of Os-f teopathy is in many ways a de-

s light to one interested in Osteo-pathic education. Medical edu-cation of any sort is difficult toobtain. Medical courses are no-

) toriously hard work when com-1 pared to other professional cours-

es,- and the constant tendencyseems to have been to make therequired medical curriculummore difficult. This progress has

s spilled over into Osteopathicschools until today the time ofour students is filled with study,

; recitation and such practicalwork as never before.

Osteopathy is fortunate in hav-- ing built up a group of schools

which can offer these difficultcourses in a satisfactory mannerand can supplement these cours-es with practical clinics.

One of the most satisfactoryresponses to good teaching in Os-teopathic schools (and goodteaching in our schools is rapid-ly becoming so common as to es-cape comment) is the spirit ofthe student everywhere aparent.By this we do not mean the"spirit" that makes a student"willing to die for dear old 'Al-ma Mater' ". Nor do we meanthe "spirit" which the "old grad"may carry back to the Thanks-giving football game. We meanon the contrary the real enthusi-astic spirit, based on honest, in-telligent conviction, which impelsa student to spend four years ofhard, unremitting toil and laborin school. Because nearly allOsteopathic students realize,long before the green of theFreshman cap has faded, thatthe practice of Osteopathy willnever be a "soft snap" methodof making a living. It takesbrains and singleness of purposeto answer successfully the chal-lenge which modern Osteopathiceducational standards present tostudents. The teaching and theequipment have at last been pro-vided, sometimes at great sacri-fice of time, money, and laboron the part of the old guard, andit is mighty refreshing to watchthe student's response.

It appears probable that, notonly in Des Moines, but at allthe other Osteopathic colleges, avery decided emphasis is givento the so-called Osteopathic caus-es of disease and methods of re-lief, and that this Osteopathicconcept is more logically rea-soned out and presented thanbefore. It is difficult to see howa student could escape one of ourOsteopathic schools without theknowledge and belief that mal-adjustment of structure is theprincipal cause of disease andthat readjustment will relievethat pathology.

Osteopathy needs more prac-titioners (good ones) in the fieldmore than it needs any other onething. This does not mean thatit would help to fill our schoolswith a poorly prepared, sub-standard group of Freshmen.That would be too great a bur-

3

den on the Profession. But itdoes mean that every student inan Osteopathic school knows, athis home, another equally wellprepared who might be persuad-ed to take up Osteopathic educa-tion.

It is notably true that very fewwell prepared Freshmen fail tocomplete Osteopathic educationwith good grades. The courseis hard, but the veriest beginnercan instantly see the necessity ofgrasping every point made inclasses. Failure to get today'spoint means failure on some puz-zling case in the field, and thisis apparent to every student.

If every Osteopathic studentthis summer will devote sometime to persuading his friend athome that Osteopathy is the mostdesirable profession open to highschool graduates of ability, ourschools will show the increasenext September, and we will beable to answer in a small meas-ure the constant call for Osteo-pathic general practitioners andspecialists all over the world.The field is not "saturated" withOsteopaths. It's scarcely morethan "moistened".-Dr. R. C.McCaughan of Kokomo, Ind.,Inspector of Colleges.

Band Entertains I. O. A.

(Continued from page 1)vine on the banjo, assisted bythe band. Mr. Devine composedhis own part to this delightfulnumber, which was indeed theoutstanding number of the eve-ning. From banjo solos the pro-gram changed to the trumpetsection where H. C. Toepferplayed several numbers, accom-panied by the band. The enter-tainment was then continued byMiss Frances Halladay, whopresented two delightful whist-ling numbers, accompanied byMiss Evelyn Daniels.

Following the above, Mr. L.A. Nowlin, president of the sen-ior class presented a beautifulbanner to the school for use bythe band when making publicappearances. Dr. C. W. John-son, president of the college, ex-cepted the banner on behalf ofthe college and made the re-sponse.

The program then was re-sumed with the opening numberby J. R. Forbes playing a trom-bone solo entitled "Roses of Pic-ardy". Following this beautifulnumber, Jud Koch offered "TheWaterfall", a xylophone solowhich was well received. Thequartette made their last appear-ance and presented plenty ofbarber shop tonic which provedto be a delight to all attending.The band concluded the programby playing three pleasing num-bers, as follows, "Forget MeNot", "Home, Sweet Home", asplayed by different nationalities,and the snappy hit "Hallelujah"from the motion picture "Hitthe Deck".

Many congratulations were of-fered by all present and the eve-ning was indeed a pleasant onefor all.

THE LOG BOOK

I Like Texas

Of course the main reason isthat it is warm enough downthere to go without an overcoat.Well, yes, the people do have alittle something to do with thestate, too. Let's quickly reviewthe trip. I left here in time toarrive at San Antonio the eve-ning of the 24th of April. Istopped over in K. C. and visitedwith Dr. Peach at the KansasCity College for a brief hour, andvery much enjoyed the visit atthe college. My arrival in SanAntonio was not well timed. Itseems that they have a festivalthere each year called the Fiesta,and I got into the middle of abig parade the evening of arrivaland just got to the hotel in timeto be grabbed by Paul Peck andrushed over to the Original Mexi-can Restaurant, where about 100members of the profession weredrinking copiously of waterwhile eating sparingly of genuineMexican dishes. It was a grandand glorious feeling to be againwith so many of the old gang.And all so well groomed andlooking so happy. It's worth ayear of your life to go downthere and meet with that bunch.Some of my former Al front-row sleepers, wide awake and do-ing things. That's the big kickin the teaching game, to go downin Texas and see what these kidshave grown up to and done. I'mproud of them, and how!

Thursday was an experimentalday with them this year. It wasall clinic and a big success. Fri-day and Saturday over 100 werein attendance, and they stayeduntil the last minute. Fridaynoon Paul Peck took several ofus to the Rotary luncheon andwe had the opportunity of hear-ing General Buck paint perfectword pictures of the historicevents of Alamo times. Fridaynight was banquet night, andagain the appointments were per-fect. Attorney General Bobbetmade the principal address of theevening, and it was a delight tohear him.

Visit San Antonio. There aremany points of interest. TheAlamo, Breckenridge Park, KellyField and others. Plan to staylong enough to enjoy all that itoffers, and do not hurry as I hadto. Time forced me away viathe air, and then Old Mother Na-ture stepped in and threw a hel-luva storm into the machinery.

I left San Antonio Saturday at4:15 P. M., weather perfect, andwith Paul Vance at the controls.Paul has the rep of being thebest air pilot in the state of Tex-as, and that is a lot of territory,We went up to 3000 feet and en-joyed superbly the trip to Waco.It is just like sitting still andhaving the earth move underyou. Not a cringe in a cloudful.But at Waco we struck a 40-milewind, .and the report was thathail was in the air. Paul saidwe could make it to Dallas O. K.and off we were. Nearing Dallassomeone scooped the air out olthe atmosphere and left nothingbut a pocket or vacuum there

Down we went about a mile, itseemed, but Paul turned theplane over on edge, doing what Ibelieve is called a vertical bank,and in less time than it takes totell it, we were safe on theground, and then the stormbroke. Such a rain-and hail,too. It spoiled the trip, for Ihad to take an ordinary trainback to K. C. and home, andwhile I still say that I like Texasand want to go back, I am justa little afraid of their storms.

Dr. Louis Logan and Mary Louproved the old saying about thefriend in need, and before thetrain left they packed me full ofTexas fried chicken and all thegood things that go with it.

I suppose I should "gripe"about the return trip, but thatwouldn't "hep" matters any.

When looking for female ster-ility, one must mention someconditions involving the ovariesinterfering with the ovum reach-ing the tubes, as thickened cap-sule not permitting rupture ofGraffin follicles, adhesions, en-capsulating the ovary, cystic con-ditions and inflammations, faultyinnervation or blood supply in-terfering with the maturing ofthe ovum, and ovarian atrophy.Pathological tubes, occlusions oflumen, abscesses, adhesions andpressure from tumor. Malposi-tions of the uterus, angulationsof the cervix or disturbances tothe endometrium permitting noobstruction from mucus or catar-rhal congestions, antagonisticsecretions from uterus and cer-vix, stenosis of cervix and in-fantile uteri.

The constitutional conditionslowering the vitality of thesperm are applicable also to thefemale in lowering the vitalityof the ovum.

(To Be Continued)

Laboratory Advance-ment

The laboratory work previous-ly done by the students on theirclinic patients is now being doneunder an organized student de-partment. Specimens of urine,sputum, feces, and smears onslides are brought to the labora-tory and registered. A group ofstudents from the Senior A andB classes take care of the sam-ples and make out reports. Tworeports are made out on eachanalysis, one being filed awayand one given to the student whosent the specimen in for exami-nation.

Treating room 22 has beenconverted into an office for thelaboratory. In this room patientsreport to have blood taken forcounting, smears, and Wasser-man reaction. Collection of sam-ples for salivary urea analysisand renal function test are madein this room. Students also re-ceive their report from the lab-oratory in this office.

In about two months' time thelaboratory has turned out bet-ter than five hundred reports onvarious analysis These analysishave consisted of red, white anddifferential blood counts, spu-tum, fecal and urine analysis, aswell as the phenolsulphonthalienrenal function test, salivary urea,milk, and gastric analysis.

Assembly, May 2

The band openea the assem-bly of May 2 with a splendidmarch, under the direction ofMr. Crawford, in the absence ofDr. Halladay.

Dr. Mary Golden then tookover the assembly and asked Mr.Benz to introduce Prof. Poulterof Iowa Wesleyan College atMount Pleasant, Iowa. The pro-fessor is one of the leading phy-siosis of the country today. Headdressed the student body onthe subject of high pressure ob-tained in the laboratories underspecial cautions, because 6f itsterrific power. Mr. Poulter hasobtained pressure as high as sixhundred thousand pounds persquare inch in his laboratory atMount Pleasant. The details forsuch an endeavor were givenand proved to be of much inter-est to the student body.

Detroit Invites 1931Convention

Eighteen years have passedsince the last A. O. A. conventionwas held in Detroit. At thattime we had but a handful of Os-teopathic physicians in Detroitand Michigan, but in spite ofthat, we had a record-breakingattendance.

This year, Detroit and Michi-gan will be represented at Phila-delphia by a delegation eager tomake a strong bid for the 1931convention.

Detroit is centrally located,easily accessible to all parts ofthe United States and Canada bymotor, rail, boat or plane. Itshotel accommodations are sec-ond to none, and its conventionfacilities are unsurpassed and itshospitals adequate.

Detroit is the center of theautomotive and aircraft indus-tries of the world. Here you willfind innumerable places of inter-est, including Greenfield Villageand Ford Air-port. Golf coursesare available, and no less thanfifty different boat trips, to saynothing of the many theaters, of-fice buildings, and other placesof interest and amusement.

Climate and weather are idealin Detroit in July, with warm,sunshiny days and balmy nights.
