Under the present law any hody, with or without a degree, has a | right to hang ont his shinglé as an| osteopath and start practice. The recognition by the Court of Appeals eay members of the Osteopathic Asso ciation, caused a big spurt in thé de-| mand for osteopathic degrees, which | could be obtained easily and cheaply Investigators working for the Osteo. pathic Association have been unnhl-l to determine exactly how many took this three-day course, but they have established that a considerable num- | ber with this sort of degree still are practicing in the District. Many of them are not listed i theé directory or telephone hook. but work in various Government departments and _solicit practice among their fellow-employes. Suffering Great Damageé. The attention of the Osteopathic} Association has been directed to this condition in the District for some time, but it recently was brought to a head when a holder of one of the three-day degrees attracted unfavor- able publicity in connection with a criminal case. a thus, the osteo paths claim, reflected discreditably on the whole proféssion. Dr. Albert H. Parham, sécrétary of the Osteopathic Association, today said that the osteopathists here with earned degrees are suffering irrépar- able damage because of this condition, which he has beén largely instru- mental in uncovering. This profés- sion, he said, is now reéquired in most States to pass the same examination as regular doctors of medicine, and in soéme States members are allowed to practice either osteopathy or medi- cine. In every State except the Dis. triot they are a recognized profession. Innocent Are Jeopardized. But, said Dr. Parham, a patient ad. vised to seé an osteopathist is likely to consult any one, unless he is fa- miliar with the situation in Washink- ton, Few persons, thé regular ostéo- pathists feél, realize the condition of the District law which allows a per- son to practice without any creden- tials at all. Consequently, inmocent patients, it 18 asserted, fall ipgd tHh hands of men who have no knowledge of the fundamentals of tréating the human body and place themselves in immediate danger of death. A real osteopathic education, Dr. Parham said, costs very nearly $8,000. This includes tuition, board and lodg- ing for four vears and the books and instruments necessary for the indi- vidual student. A class of about 60 osteopaths were trained in this way at recognized colleges as trainees of the Veterans' Bureau shortly after the war, and have just begun to practice. At least a high-school education i§ necessary to enter such a course, and the colleges are beginning to insist on two years' training in an academic college, in line with the practice of medical institutions. The osteopath, Dr. Parham said, realizes the limits of his profession. | and would not think of dealing with a case where administration of some sort of medicine was necessary. If he was not allowed under the law to give such treatment himself, he would refer the case immediately to an M. D. But, faid Dr. Parham, it is hard to believe that any man with only three daye’ training in osteopathy can even recognize the simplest symp- toms “It is imperative,” Dr. Parham said “for people who consider ccnsulting | an osteopath to select a man who has taken a recognized course. and not get into the hands of oné of these three-day men.’ YOUNG DENIES GUILT.

Time Is Lacking. Inasmuch as it appears to be a physical impossibility for new diplo- mas to be printed in time for the graduations next week, pirticularly in view of the fact it takes 34 hours merely for them to dry, to say noth- ing of the laborious job of engrossing them, the use of “dummy diplomas™ must be resorted to.

Opposes Inferior Product. Dr. Ballou laid emphasig on the fact today that school officlals have never contémplated nor will they countenance ‘“acceépting an inferior product in the interests of financlal economy.” Need for the new system of having diplomas printed, which involves the owning of a set of plates by the School Board and the purchase of the paper at thé Government Printing Office, was brought about, according to school officials, to correct what was believed an unbusinesslike policy pur- sued in the past. Plates Caused Situation, Hitherto the board each yeur has been compelled to pay for a new set of plates through the system of bid- ding, it is alleged by school officials, In short, the board over a period of 20 vears has paid for plates for the dipiomas as many times. To correct this, the hoard of appor- tionments arrived at the new system employed this year, that of supplying both plates and paper at a saving of 2.9 cents per diploma. MRS. E. L. BAGBY DIES.

In the absence of a quorum today, the commission took no definite action on any project. but the members present discussed the question general The commission heretofore has ex- pressed Itself as in favor of such an iasue, but the discussion today brought out a desire on the part of some of the members to have more information on an amortization plan. The consensus was that it would be most economical to purchase all of the required land at this time. The statement was made that if the Government waits for 'small annual appropriations the lands will in- crease so in value that the prices may become prohibitive, and further delay may wipe out some of the needy projects entirely. May Require $10,000,000. It is estimated that it would re- quire an issue of $10,000,000 to pur- chage all of the land included in the commission’s city-planning project as now laid down. Col. Grant will compile the data on the amount of money needed to carry out the parking scheme and is ex pected to include in his report a de- tailed statement for his amortization plan for retiring the honds which will show on its face the vast economy from which the Government will ben- efit from such an act. The commission gave its approval to, the Capper-Zihiman bill, which would provide protection to proposed park land While awaiting condemna- tion; proceedings. The purpose of the bill 48 to prevent any owner of private property included within the park projéect from taking any steps to de. stroy its natural beauty after the Government has started condemnation nroceedings against it. The commission discussed at some length the proposed bill for controling the architecture of private huildings on property which fronts on any Gov- ernment reservation. The commis- sion members expressed themselves as favorable to such legislation. Zoning Limitation Studied.
