NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1023, HEALING WTHOUT USING ANY DRUGS Drugless Assn. Holding Conven- tion fn New York ' New York, Sept. 21.~If you know of anything wrong anywhere in this| complex cosmes, hitherte erroneously | called a vale of tears, lake it to Al samon Ira Luci says he'll fix) it, Just at the moment he is devot. ing his energies to presiding - and presiding is such a weak word in con- neetion with Dr, Lucas's energies »— over the third annu the American Drugle was its founder, as well as founder of such little activities as the Rochester Home Hetterment club, 18 rooms and baths, and the SBuper Race foundation The big convention is being held in an otherwise normal hotel, with & complaint eclerk and everything on Beventh avenue, between Thirty-sec- ond and Thirty-third streets, There Dr, Lu nd his colleagues are com- pounding sweetness and light out of such diverse elements as Freudian paychology, the electronie reactions of spectro therapy and the American #chool of matrimony, Bridgeport, Conn,, whose founder and dean, Si. mon Louls Katzoff, M. D, Ph, D, LL, D., is honoring the meetings with his presence and will lecture tomerrow on “"Appendicitis,” A Wide Range of Topics There was o busy day yesterday for the first day of the convention, It was an extended and diversified pro. gram, ranging from a symposium on “The Trend of the Times" to an address on “Pre natal Consideration in Disoage Prevention,” by George Warfield Clark, D, D, 8,.—the symbol usually assoclated with doctor of den- tal surgery——from FKFort Dodge, Iowa. Yet it would be even within the bounds of Dr. Lucas' modesty to say “Magna pars quorum ful." He and the progran{ had not only the cure, but the prevention for every catastrophe from the stork that gets the genders mixed to the raging taxi- cab that cuts down the aged and de- crepit in what ought to be thelr prime, Furthermore there was proof of all of the achievements mentioned. Not a soul present—and there were 23—had ever been cut down and killed by a taxicab. And the doctors and the charming Mrs. Lucas' children, Alzamon Ira Lucas 1I, and Margaret Vivierne Lu- cas, were there too. Their parents say in all truth that long before birth the sex and -the vocation of each child was determined by the conscious desire of the parents and the doctor's unique methods of making these de- sires effective. Doctor As Gender Guide How many parents can say as much? Ninety-seven pairs, says the doctor, In that number of cases, he says, he has succeeded in guiding the gender of the carefully planned for infant, though he bas not been able to predetermine their vocations in so many instances. In the case,of his own son, now five, he is an anatomist by predeter- mined vocation. He is also the most wonderful child ever born into this world, according to his father. And, unlike other fathers, he summons lit- tle Al 2d right up and proves it. -The youth can lisp the name of every bone in his body. He knows them al. intimately, some of them by their first | names, by which he does not hesitate to call them even in such mixed com- pany as the American Drugless asso- ciation. The openness and largeness of the doctor’s program is typified by the fact that the American Drugless asso- clation doesn’'t mean that-the doctor or the organization is opposed to the use of drugs. He wants to bring it all together in peace and harmony, from chiropractic to gland surgery and from psychoanalysis to what he calls ‘“state medicine.” One of the chief objects of the convention is to act against legislation that prevents others than members of the medical associntions practicing or accepting fees for their practice. For insgance, in addition to the den- tist who discussed prenatal disease prevention last night and the dean of the school of matrimony, who will discuss appendicities today, Theodore Hubert Larson, M. D, a surgeon from Milwaukee, will discuss tomor- row the method he demonstrated re- cently before the Tri-State Medical association for the transplantation of For Sale—New Single House.

When the jazziest of ! music is played, it is hardly possible for the dancers not to respond. “Improper deportment on the floors halls has become a rarity in the last three campaign conducted by the National Association of Danecing Masters for clean dancing is partly responsible for the change. It also is to be crediated to the people them- selves, “Private e¢lubs and ¢afes have heen beyond the influence of the associa- tion, and in these privileged places jazz dancing in the éxtreme may still | prevail, but the bulk of the nation's | dancers, thosé who attend schools and | Munich, Germany.—During a five- day athletic festival here recently, visitors carried away with them as mementoes 5,000 beér mugs, 480 knives and forks and thousands of plates. public halls, are dancing with as much modesty, propriety and resérve as ever was seen in the days of the waltz, polka, schottische and their running mates.
