" STATE-CONTROLLED HEALTH FORECAST Medical Profession’s Duty in Public Education Stressed by Dr. Glenn Frank. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, October 19.—A medical revolution threatens to eliminate the private practitioner in much the same way as the industrial revolution did away with the handicraftsman, Dr. Glenn Frank, president of the Univers- ity of Wisconsin, told the American College of Surgeons at its closing meet- ng last night. Unless the medical profession suc- ceeds by itself in educating the public to a program of disease prevention, he sald, insurance companies, industrial concerns, and even the State may step in and take over the control of health. The savant predicated his assertions upon statistics showing that the annual economic loss caused by preventable sickness and postponable death amount- ed to 350,000,000 days, or $1,800,000,000 annually. Estimated Reduction. “It is estimated that this loss could be cut to a point where, over and above the costs of prevention, a balance of something like $1,000,000,000 could be left in the pockets of the working pop- ulation and the industries,” he said. Instead of contifuing only in an gmergency capacity, Dr. Frank said, the medical profession must change the American mind so that the private doctor will be consulted at regular in- tervals in a sickness-prevention pro- gram. “Our only hope of a healthier Nation, unless we go bag and baggage to state medicine, lies with the unselfish doctor who will consciously reduce his income by giving sick patients advice that may keep them from falling sick again,” the speaker sald. Mending of Bones. Relization of the need of research in * traumatic surgery—the medical term for mending broken bones and fractures #nd caring for injuries requiring surgery ~—was described by many surgeons to be the major accomplishment of the con- gress. ‘The interest, heard on all sides, was summarized by Dr. Frederic A. Besley, ‘Waukegan, chairman of the board traumatic surgery in the college. It not a lessening of interest in’cancer, goiter and other maladies, but a con- has been E “Thirty years ago a fractured leg was given major attention by the sur- geon,” he said. “Then interest turned to research in cancer, goiter and other diseases to the neglect of traumatic sur- gery. But today the large number of automobile and industrial accidents are g the subject to the fore.” th this realization the college is beginning to be appreciative of the necuflt{ of nsoring the establish- ment of hospitals, clinics and medical colleges specializing .in traumatic cases like cancer institutes, he said. He pointed out that there is no such hos- pital or clinic today. JOHN OLIVER CRANE TAKES BRIDE IN ROME Son of Former U. S. Minister to China, Man of Wealth, Weds Count’s Daughter.

By the Associated Press. ’ CHICAGO, October 19.—A stomach ulcer operation by which food is per- manently shortcircuited from the ulcerated area through a new opening in the stomach, which is connected with a new opening in the small in- testine, was described yesterday by Dr. Mathias J. Seifert, surgeon of Columbus Hospital, Chicago, before & sectional meeting of the American College of Surgeons. ‘The operation, devised by Dr. Seifert, and announced to have been successful in 200 cases, allows the ulcerated area to heal readily, the speaker said. Mo- tion pictures covering the entire tech- nique of the operation were shown. “The old type of so-called ‘classic’ stomach operation causes an immediate emptying of the stomach as soon as food is ingested,” said Dr. Seifert.

Recptacle Created. “A gastric receptacle is thereby created for the mixing, churning and digestion of food,” Dr. Seifert said. “The food accordingly is at least par- tially -digested lng the stomach is emptied upward in a manner approxi- mating that of nature.” He also related that through the actual new opening in the stomach, as against the slit of the ‘classic” opera- tion, there was no danger of the artifi- cial orifice closing.

Realtor National 0753 Evening Phone Georgia 2900 z We Salute It-is given to few men to look over the span of fifty years and see with mortal eyes the blessings their genius has showered upon a grateful people— rarely is it possible for grateful people to express to a living man their appre- ciation of his gifts and accord him those simple, friendly tributes which are beyond all bronze and beyond all marble. Light’s Golden Jubilee is that sort of tribute to Thomas Alva Edison. Sponsored by " THE ELECTRIC LEAGUE of WASHINGTON, D. C. the Conqueror of Darkness A tribute to the genius of a great man on the occasion of the fiftieth anni- versary of his invention of the incandescent lamp. Through his invention of the first practical incandescent lamp on the 21st night of October, 1879, Thomas Edison swung wide the portal of Electricians. Newton, Watt, Haladay and Steinmetz contributed much to the final discovery, but their magnificent additions to this key discovery serve only to magnify Edison’s final achievement. Like the Egyptian Sphinx of wisdom, he rises sut of the darkness of ages—the Sphinx of Light. Light’s Golden Jubilee Electric Home Watt, founder of the epoch of steam, is history. Edison, founder of the Age of Light, is with us in person, and the night of October 21, 1929, will witness the greatest national demonstration the world has ever known. Theaters, business houses and civie organizations will join in the tribute. The Electric League of Washington, a non-commercial organization of the electrical interésts of Washington, will center its contribution at an Electric Home at 6203 14th Street N.W., in the new Sheridan Park devélopment of the This home will be interesting, educational and inspira- tional.

The exterior of the building and the grounds will be decorated in a novel and spectacular manner with colored lights. The Electric Home is easiest reached by driving out Sixteenth Street to Sheridan Street from whence the visitors will be guided to the home by the _path of light.
