HURJA’S ADVANCEMENT MERITED. Time, newsmagazine, analyzes the appointment of E. E. Hurja, former Alaskan newspaper man and | one time Secretary to Charles A. Sulzer, then Dele- gate to Congress, as a step by National Chairman Farley to sort of supervise the distribution of patronage in the Public Works Administration. Mr. | Hurja is now administrative assistant to Secretary Ickes as Public Works Administrator. Whatever the cause, the advancement of Mr. Hurja was merited. He deserved the post for the valuable services he rendered the Democratic party | during the Roosevelt campaign last Summer. He | handled the statistical end of preliminary estimates of the vote-throughout the country. His figures were used by Mr. Farley in his campaign forecasts and proved absolutely reliable. Since the election, Mr. Hurja has been in Washington doing various kinds of work for the Administration and making good at all of them. As Time commented, he is a man of dynamic personality, is finely poised, and get things done that are assigned to him. He will make an able administrative assistant to Secretary Ickes and give that hard-worked officer help that he must have if he is to stand up under the terrific burdens connected with his manifold duties as Secretary of Interior, Public Works Administrator and Ad- ministrator of the Oil Industry under its NRA code. Alaskans who have known him since he was a youth fired with an ambition to accomplish something are pleased with hls_adyancrmcnt in the Roosevelt Administration and expet he will be a'credit to it. WEATHER’S PATTERN SAME FROM ONE MONTH TO NEXT. Abnormal weather tends to create more abnormal weather, says the Weather Bureau, United States Department of Agriculture, which recently analyzed a set of long-time records for Iowa and adjacent States. For example, the meteorologists point out, an unusually hot June is more likely than not to be followed by an unusually hot July, and a colder than ordinary January by a February with an average temperature below normal. This weather sequence is most apparent in midsummer and mid- winter, they say, and the greater the abnormality the more certain it is to repeat itself. In many States June gives the key to the weather for the rest of the Summer. Thus the records for Illinois show that in 7 out of 10 cases when June temperatures average three degrees or more above normal July temperatures were also above normal, and in 8 out of 10 cases when June temperatures averaged three degrees or more below normal aver- age temperatures for July were below normal. Nearly every hotter-than-normal June in Illinois has been followed by a dryer-than-normal July and each cooler-than-normal June by a July having more than normal rainfall. Over much of the Mis- sissippi Valley July precipitation is always below normal if June temperatures have beén three de- grees to four degrees above normal. In Iowa higher-than-normal temperatures for June are a good indication of higher-than-normal temperatures for the next three months. In many States July weather has a well-defined tendency to perpetuate itself through August. The January-February relationship, another im- portant weather sequence, was also brought out in the recent sutdy. In many parts of the country a cold January is more likely than not to be fol- lowed by a cold February and in several States a warm January is quite generally followed by a warm February. TOO MANY DOCTORS? The medical journals and associations are some- what exercised about the widely publicized state- ment that “there are 25,000 more physicians in the United States than there should be” and that “there is one physician for every 780 inhabitants.” | The medicos contend that statistics of this sort . distort the problem, as statistics often do. And they flatly deny that the trying conditions in the medical profession are due to overproduction of {‘ doctors. The gentlemen of medicine have many good arguments on their side. What appears to be over- production, we know from our economics, is usually overproduction at a certain price, is maldls!ributiun‘ or under-consumption. Possibly the critics of the| M.D.’s have not considered these other possibilities. That there is maldistribution is apparent. Many less pppulous areas are without sufficient medical service. But how many of these localities could afford any more medical service under conditions ‘now existing? Any how many physicians could be expected to go into those regions to practice when, even with a monopoly of medicine in their “trade areas” probably they could not make a living? There is likewise the possibility that our current . _stock of doctors would bz none too great if various s in the cities could afford all the medical |of the War Against Depression. tention they require. Unquestionably there is a gap in our elaborate medical and hospital service between the magnificient free facilities afforded to charity patients and the luxurious service provided for the wealthy. At any rate the simple observation that there | are “too many doctors” does not fit the facts. There is too much wheat, too much cotton, too much copper, probably too many lawyers, too many plumb»} ers, too many or too much of nearly everything except purchasing power. In medicine as in more | strictly economic matters we must look at some- thing besides the current supply to find a solution. If counsel for the petitioner seeking a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the Eighteenth Amendment and National Prohibition Act are invalid will postpone his arguments for 60 days, the voters of 36 States will settle the matter be- yond all peradventure of a doubt. Another definition is being added to the already long list for NRA—No Rackets Allowed. The September drive of the NRA seems to have all the earmarks of being the Argonne offensive A Gold Shackle Loosed. (Boston News Bureau.) Within the legal framework of exercised pow- ers to control the nation's gold, the President has now moved to extend a rather long and sorely needed relief to our domestic miners of the precious metal. We want, as does every nation in the universal scramble to add to gold reserves, to add all we can to the store which we have been jealously raking together and fencing.about. But in that very latter process we managed to put, perhaps unwittingly at first, a grievous burden alike on big company and lone prospector who sought to ex- tract the yellow grains. Meanwhile in every other of the world’s gold fields there was created a new incentive for the miners in a largely risen price. The regime of re- leased currency units had brought about that increased quotation. But our own diggers for gold were -still restricted to the old price, as inherited from an ended order, of $2067 an ounce. They might not reap the advantage as well as the incentive of the altered world price. Now that shackle is to be stricken off, and a new access to world markets afforded. This comes | as a climax to several gradual liberalizations of | previous limitations in allowing the exit of one or another form of partly processed ore. Now the newly mined gold as such is emancipated. It is a freed but also somewhat carefully regulated market that is provided. The Treasury and the reserve banks are to act as agents for the gold miner. They may sell his wares to foreign buyers or to domestic users in art or industry. |The Secretary, somewhat like Secretary Wallace | lin the agricultural realm, is to be the almost autocratic manager of the scheme. There is obviously a wide difference between almost $30 an ounce and $20.67 in both return and incentive. If gold, as some think in Britain, should | go beyond 120 shillings to 135 or 140 shillings, that premium would be still more enticing. So, in a double-barreled measure, we get this new agency as reaching a free gold market, if not yet the latter in complete form, and at the same time a closer watch on our gold stores and those | perhaps boarding them. Iceland Has Visitors. (New York Herald Tribune.) Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh may have supposed that in dropping in on Reykjavik, Iceland, they would be safe from crowds. Yet on a casual visit to the postoffice of the little sub-Arctic city they suddenly found themselves so hemmed in by admir- ers that they were obliged to escape by a back door. Fast as they may hop about from one remote hum- mock of the earth to another, their fame, like a nemesis, keeps pace with them. One is moved to condole with them, knowing their passionate preference for privacy. And yet in this particular instance there was a measure of poetic justice in their discomfitures. What are they engaged in if it is not a survey of an air route which promises to throw Iceland into the stream of trans-Atlantic travel? What about Iceland's privacy and peace once it becomes the way station they would make of it? Its good citizens in milling about to get a glimpse of the Lindberghs were merely rewarding them with a bit of their own medicine. They were letting them know that,| thanks largely to adventurous flyers like themselves, the world is about to lose what remains to it of inaccessible nooks where heroes can pass unnoticed. Adaptable Individualism. 5 (Houston Chronicle.) It is no discredit to an individualistic society that in the fact of great social danger it can lay aside individualism and turn to conformity and mass action, to a common effort on a plan authoritatively laid down. In fact, it is to the credit, we might almost say the glory, of that society that it can drop its individualistic ways for a period, and then, after the danger is passed, whole-heartedly return to them. And make no mistake, that is what America is doing and will do. We did it in 1812 and 1861 and 1898 and 1917. Each time we turned from the pursuit of individual purposes’ to conformity of action in a single cause, and each time, after that cause was served, we returned resolutely to our individualistic ways.

A e B Site of First Blooded Cattle Sale Is Marked CHILLECOTHE, Ohio, Sept. 7.— Direct descendants of Felix Ren- ick, who introluced the first pure- bred shorthorn cattle to America about a century ago, still owns the farm near here where Renick car- ried on his stock-breeding opera- tions. Renick and associates formed the Ohio company for importing English cattle in 1834, and import- ed seven bulls and 12 cows, the nucleus of purebred shorthorn herds, destined to displace the longhorn in the old west. In 1836 he held the first auction of pure- bred shorthorns in the United States on the farm here, where a tablet has been erected by the Ohio Shorthorn Breeders Asso- ciation afd historical societies. ;.

Miss Grace Edgren and Miss Mamie Morgan took passage on the Princess Sophia for the pur- pose of re-eniering school in the States. o The school library was to be indexed and catalogued so that af- ter October 1 a small room could be set aside for use by the general public, Work was being done in prep- aration to the opening of school on Monday morning. The fact that there were only six school rooms and twelve teachers made it mnecessary for Professor Greene and those assisting him to ar- range the hours of study to do some artistic juggling.
