BRITONS SHATTER AIR SPEEI] MARK Various Diag_nostic and Treatment Pro-| England Captures Schneider Trophy With Average of 328.63 Miles. By the Associated Press. RYDE, Isle of Wight, September 7.— A fiying bridegroom on a silver comet | of a seaplane hurtled to victory for Great Britain in the race for the Schneider Trophy today, establishing a new average speed for the 218-mile course of 328.63 miles an hour, which is just a bare fraction under 5': miles a minute. This is an improvement of 49 | miles an_hour over the speed record by | which Great Britain won the last! Schnelder Trophy race at the Lido, | Venice, two years ago. The victerious British pilot was Fly- ing Officer H. R. Waghorn, Royal Air Force pilot and a bridegroom of two months. He is the only married man among the six daring British and Ttalian high-speed pilots who today risked their necks for the sake of sclence~and speed supremacy in the seven eircuits of the course marked out over the Solent, between England and the Isle of Wight. Second Record Falls. Another British aviator, Flying Of- ficer R. L. R. Atcherley, on a machine J{dentical to Waghorn's, captured an- other world speed Britain during the passed the fa: man anywhere, shooting through air on two of his laps with a mark of 332.49 miles an hour. Atcherley had the misfortune to be disqualified for the total distance for failing to pass outside & pylon marking one of the course points, but an official announcement made it plain that his world speed record would stand be- cause he attained it on two different laps. The first was on his fourth lap and the second. rqulfln‘ his terrific speed. on the seventh and last lap. The Italian ace, Dal Molin, was the only Italian to finish the course, but his time was fass enough to give him sec- ond place ahead of Flight Lieut. D. D'Arcy Greig. Fliea de Bernardi's Plane. Dal Molin averaged 284.2 miles an hour. Greig averaged 282.11 miles. Dal Molin flew the same machine in Wwhich Maj. Mario de Dernardi set up & straightaway record of 318.43 miles an hour last year. An impressive array of British and Italian battleships and yachts provided 2 colorful background for the fiyers’ ex- ploits. The presence of the British prime minister and the Prince of Wales among the spectators added to the bril- liance of the spectacle. Widely scat- tered over the many miles of coast line the crowds were not impressiye in them- selves, but they dotted the beaches and wooded shores, viewing the spectacle from widely separated points. The weather was bright and the day sizsling hot for England. Although the race was an Anglo- Italian duel for air honors, it was really a contest against time. The Italians, after the tragic accident which resu'ted in the death of one of their leading aces, Capt. Motta, two weeks ago, they would go through the ri as a sporting gesture. They also experienced delay in finishing macht for the race. Nevertheless, the vi. performed valiantly under handicap. Italian Pilot Is Burned. Two of the three Italian pilots, Lieut Rano. Cadringher and Lieut. Giovanni Monti, both fiying Macchi_67s, were forced out of the race..

BY THOMAS gaged in an exhaustive study of the nosis and treatment in the District. A meeting will be held some time patient will be discussed and plans line with the desire of the doctors will be thoroughly in accord with medics ©One proposal, to which several of the leading physicians in Washington prac- tically have committed themselves, is for the establishment of a diagnostic clinie, served voluntarily by the city's ading specialists, which would give thorough physical examinations to pa- tients referred to it by general practi- tioners at & minimum charge based upon costs. This plan already has been presented in The Star in an effort to determine the public reaction. Problem Is Involved. But the entire problem 1s so involved and deals with such delicate relation- ships that there is no complete agree- ment as yet among the committee mem- bers as to the best course to follow. Some hold that such a diagnostic clinic would be at best a temporary ex- pedient, although possibly & necessary one, and that it is necessary to go far deeper to get at the underlying diffi- culties. The American public, according to one physician, s passing through a stage of belief in specialization that | amounts almost to a superstition, in some wi to the detriment of medical practice. It has reached a point “where many people diagnose their own ailments and then go to a specialist to confirm their diagnosis.” The economic adjustment between physician public must come, some physicians maintain, even- tually through the return to the family | physician and the creation througn education of a type of general pract: tioner not only w¢ rained in medicine and its specialties, psychology and psy- chiatry particularly included, but broad- ly educated in the vast domain of hu- man biology, capable of understanding | | the social and economic problems of the members of his community. Such a one will conduct his practice accord- ing to the highest standards of medical ethics and with a priestly devotion to the people who commit themselves to his care. The entire history of the | modical professidn, it is pointed out, has shown that the physicians of this type are the natural result of correct medical education and ideals. The relation be- tween them and their patients is quite | different from the business relationship which tends to develop ‘between th2 specialist of a certain type and his cli- entele. But the specialist ‘“supersti- tion” on the part of the public. together with the necessity of the individual physician to make an economic adjust- ment In a society which measures suc- cess by wealth, is driving out this bet- ter type of general practitioner.

It is, he feels, contrary to the practice of applying mass production ideas to medical diag- nosis, such as is implied in the creation of the proposed diagnostic clinic. ‘Whether a group of specialists func- tioning in this manner represents an | adequate type of medical diagnosis is open to serious doubt. They devote themselves primarily to different organs or regions without sufficiently consid- ering the human individual as a whole and. largely committed to the organic | basis of physical ailments, too often | neglect the equally important functional side, with the result that many false ready proposed for securing befter economic adju: made for the to work out for themselves a solution which al ethics and traditions. | relat | or arbitrary organization and selfish | cialist, is just beginning. | voted to: keeping the human organism R. HENRY. A voluntary committee of prominent Washington physicians now is en- e factors affecting the costs of medical diag- this month at which various plans al- stment between physician and continuance of the study, in diagnoses are made and recommenda- tions for needless surgical operations. Medical Cost Problem. A large part of the solution of the medical cost problem, he insists, lies in the further development of constitu- tional or synthetic medicine—the treat- ment of the patient in the light of an intimate knowledge of the biology of the individual, covering physical, men- tal and moral make-up. A physician with this knowledge often can correc: diagnosis where corps of specialists with their exncmon instruments have utterly failed. . Once reduced to a basis of constitu- tional medicine administered by the general practitioner, he believes that the economic adjustment would take care of itself, since it would be removed from the realm of business account- ancy to that of personal relationship be- tween & man pledged to a high stand- ard of self-sacrifice and persons with Mhose economic status he is acquainted. | The success of this relationship, he admits, would depend largely upon the character of the physician, and there are bound to be a certain number of dishonest and selfish men in an: fession. But the whose history of mes icine, he points out, absolves the pro- fession as a whole from the stigma of self-interest. The afctor that has preserved the unselfish ideals of medical service has been the confidential relationship of physician and patient. ~ Disturb this jonship by universal specialization interesis will gain the ascendency. Growth Just Begun in U. S. This practice of constitutional medi- cine, he says, is now undergoing great development in Germany, but its growth in this country, with a corresponding decline in the importance o{"!.h‘n‘ l:e- e- in healthly adjustment on the three planes upon which it functions, namely. the physical, mental and social plan 1t looks upon any ailment as a mala justment pecullar to the individual, rather than as disease entity, an | upon medicine as an art as well 2s a | science. This, he points out, makes full use of the dynamic relationship between the physician and the patient, which is apt to be lost sight of in an atmos- phere of highly organized specializa- tion. It is this dynamic relationship, difficult to define, which is responsible not only for some of the best work of the family doctor, but also for the much advertised ““miracles” of quacks who, not infrequently accomplish cures | by virtue of this even when they pro- ceed upon an altogether false diagnostic | basis. It is thus expressed in an article by Dr. William A. White, superintendent of St. Elizabeth's Hospital: “The neces- sary implication that man's wish for im- mortality has been the force that called medicine into being is that the energy at the disposgl of this wish or desire must be very great indeed. and. further, that it is this fundamental desire that represents the dynamic assets of the patient with which the doctor has to work and that constitute the greatest source of the doctor's power.” But with the development of con- stitutional medicine waiting upon the training of & generation of men with & thorough grounding not only in medi- cine and general human biology but also in psychology and psychistry, this member of the committee admits, the changing social order may demand some such adjustment as the diagnostic clinic. He is studying the methods followed and the progress of diagnostic clinics already established, together with other members of the committee, to de- termine whether a feasable plan can be worked out for Washington. As a result of an outline of the plan published in The Star several responses enthusiastically indorsing the plan have been received. including those from phyicians and nurses familiar with the great economic difficulties encountered by many families who are caught by long continued iliness. “PALACE OF PEACE” STONE IS PLAGED League of Nations Observes, 10th Birthday With Pro- gram at Geneva.

EDGERTON, Aviation Editor of The Star. ‘What actually hgppened aboard the ill-fated transport plane City of San Francisco before it dashed itsell to pieces against the rocky sides of Mount Taylor in central New Mexico during a raging storm last Tuesday probably never will be definitely known, but it is not difficult for those who ha flown over this section of the line to pieture something of the struggle of the two pilots to save their ship and five passengers. The battle with the storm which finally resulted in destruction of the besutiful big tri-motored transport plane and probably the instantaneous denths of all eight persons aboard was waged over one of the wildest and most desolate stretches of country in the United States.

In the passsnger cabin the planes courier, M. M. Canfield, ruddy faced. young, a most pleasant fellow, prob- ably was going up and down the aisle. as was his habit when the going was rough, quieting the more nervous of his five passengers with a word of en- couragement.

Must Have Been Struggle. Mount Taylor, jutting up out of a| waste of broken desert land, must have loomed up through the storm like n black wraith of destruction, dead in front of the ship. There must have been a terrific struggle as Stowe at- tempted to whirl his big ship up and away from the trees and rocks. He failed.
