Volume 11 FEBRUARY 15, 1934 Number 2

To Abilene, KansasWe add below a report sent in

by Dr. L. M. Hanna of Clay Cen-ter, Kansas, on our recent tripthere. May we add that the weath-er was ideal, the roads were fineand the car purred along like akitten. We have not had such anenjoyable trip for a long time. Wewant you to see just what they dothere in Kansas. Notice that thisgroup brought sixteen coaches tothis meeting, some of whom trav-eled over seventy-five miles beforethe dinner hour.- (Editor.

North Central Kansas Districtheld a very successful meetingat Abilene, the night of January23. Dr. H. V. Halladay broughta deal of information to thecoaches and doctors present. Histalk was directed primarily tothe coaches, arid from his ex-periences with the public schoolathletics of Des Moines, coveringas it does some 20,000 athleticinjuries, he was able to showthe results of prophylatic as wellas curative treatment. His dem-onstration of knee and anklestrapping should do much to re-duce the damages resulting fromstrenuous exercise of weak struc-tures. A round table of ques-tions and answers was heldafter the talk and problems ofcoaches were threshed out. Boththe coaches and doctors werewell repaid by the new knowl-edge gained.

Those present were:Dr. Chas C. Boyle, Benning-

ton; Mr. R. G. Vickers, Benning-(Continued on Page 3)

Osteopathy -- Surgery

By J. P. Schwartz, D. 0.,F. A. C. 0. S.

[When we look for some one tomake authorative statements, weseek those that by their deedshave proved their close applicationto the subject. We, therefore, donot hesitate to offer the followingarticle by Dr. Schwartz. Followinghis graduation from the A. S. O.in January, 1919, he immediatelycame to Des Moines for post-grad-uate work. This was in turn fol-lowed by a year at the Des MoinesGeneral Hospital as an interne,and he continued for two years asHouse Physician. During this timehe also taught at the College andwas associated with Dr. S. L. Tay-lor in his clinical work. In 1925Dr. Schwartz was elected a mem-ber of the Board of Trustees ofthe College and made Dean of thefaculty in 1926. For the past eightyears he has been President of theDes Moines General Hospital andSurgeon-in-Chief.

Aside from his duties at thehospital and as instructor in Sur-gery at the College, he finds timeto attend meetings and act oncommittees for the expansion ofOsteopathic principles. At the Na-tional Convention -in- -1933, Dr.Schwartz not only represented theState of Iowa as its delegate butalso represented the College. Atthe recent meeting of the Amer-ican College of Osteopathic Sur-geons he was awarded a fellow-ship. which is a distinct honor.He is in demand as a speaker andmakes frequent trips for this pur-pose. To appreciate the fine workof Dr. Schwartz you should sit inhis class and watch his work atthe hospital.-Editor.]

The science of Osteopathy astaught in our recognized collegestoday comprises a system of thehealing art which is limitedonly by the skill and knowledgeof its practitioners. Its broadscope necessarily divides itstherapeutic measures into cer-tain specialized fields. Surgeryis one of these special fields inthe practice of Osteopathy.

It can be said without fear ofcontradiction that the basiccourse required for a graduatein the science of Osteopathy of-fers a most admirable founda-

Osteopathy -- Obstetrics

By R. B. Balchman, D. O.[Experience is a teacher. Yes,

but the student must be of thereceptive type of fellow. Witheighteen years experience, cover-ing an important Osteopathic spec-ialty, we can be sure that Dr.Bachman will not make any ser-ious errors. The observation ofover four thousand cases in thisbranch of our work enables thewriter to speak and write with as-surance. Dr. Bachman graduatedin 1916 from Still College. Hiswork in the clinic was exceptional.For the past seventeen years he hasbeen a member of the faculty ofthe College and in charge of theObstetrical Clinic. The record ofthis work in the College is unique.Over three hundred cases havebeen taken care of this last yearby students, supervised by thehead of the department. Look atthe record of the graduating classand see what can be done in thisdepartment.

Dr. Bachman has been a memberof the Board of Trustees of theCollege for nine years and for thepast six years has been Treasurerof the Board. Even with an exten-sive practice and his work in con-nection with the College, he findstime for many outside interests.He is a member of the Rotaryand active in church affairs. Hisrecreation is camping during thesummer and not only has a fixedcottage in Minnesota but built ahouse trailer that is a triumph inworkmanship.-E'ditor. ]

Conclusive evidence of thevalue of Osteopathy in Obstet-rics can easily be found if onewill spend a little effort in in-vestigating those cases that re-ceived pre-, intra-, or postpart-um Osteopathic treatment andcompare them with those thathave not.

During the course of preg-nancy one is very apt to lookupon the minor ailments ofgestation as natural and makean effort to institute routinetreatment only after these minordisturbances become distressing.Take for instance morning sick-ness: It is given as a symptomof pregnancy. If it is natural tothe course of pregnancy why areonly eighty-five percent -of thecases effected -Tith it? Should

Dr. Will Beebe, famous for hisunder-sea photography and stud-ies of deep sea life, was a recentguest of Miss Ava Johnson. Dr.Beebe was enroute to Ames, Ia.,where he was scheduled to talk.Time did not permit an appear-ance at the college, but he toldMiss Johnson that he wouldhave been glad to spin yarns forthe student body. ...

At Ames, Dr. Beebe and MissJohnson were entertained at theAlpha Delta Pi house, were in-vited for a conference withPresident Hughes, and wereguests of the Science depart-ment.

Dr. E. R. Booth[The Forum has already given

you the detail of the life and workof the historian of Osteopathy. Ithas been the honor and pleasureof the Editor to know Dr. Boothfor thirty years. We have on ourdesk a fine letter from his son,Bob, with whom we used to playyears ago, and a paragraph fromit is well worth quoting. It ex-plains why, at the age of forty-seven, he studied Osteopathy andpracticed it in its purest form 'fornearly thirty-three years in thesame office in Cincinnati.]

"In the nineties, Mother'shealth was poor. She had con-sulted the best specialists in Cin-cinnati, St. Louis and elsewhere,but nothing was accomplished.In 1895 or 1896, Dr. HermanStill, son of Dr. A. T. Still, open-ed the first Osteopathic office inCincinnati. Willing to try any-thing once, mother was taken tohim. It was a desperate trip,three times a week, from thesuburb where we lived. She wastransported to the station in awheel-chair and up-town in

a street-car, I think. At anyrate, Dr. Still diagnosed her caseand treated her until he leftCincinnati. There were definiteevidence of improvement, whichwas very slow. Dr. George Som-mers succeeded Dr. Herman Stilland mother continued with him,still improving.

"Father was always a studentand at the end of the schoolyear, 1898, decided we shouldspend the summer in Kirksville,so mother could get treatmentsfirst-hand. Father was so con-vinced of the merits of Osteo-pathy by September that he ob-tained a year's leave of absenceto study and thus it was that heentered the old American Schoolof Osteopathy. Before the firstyear was up, he resigned fromthe Cincinnati Technical School.As you know, he graduated inJune. 1900."

Entered as second classmatter, February 3rd, 1923at the post office at DesMoines, Iowa, under theact of August 24th, 1912.

ATLAS ,CLUB NOTESThe Xiphoid Chapter extends

congratulations to Bros. Stevi-son and Kessler, two membersof the January, 1934, graduatingclass.

The semi-annual banquet, heldat the Chamberlain Hotel, re-ceived radio publicity duringthe "Talk of the Town" programfrom K S O.

The pledges have challengedthe actives to a basketball gamein the near future. The loserswill entertain -the victors at atheatre party. This game is to bean annual affair in the future.

Xiphoid Chapter takes greatpleasure in announcing thepledging of C. A. Johnson andNeal Johnson. The former fromTexas, and the latter from Mich-igan.

The annual bridge tournamentstarted last Sunday afternoon.We received an even break withthe Non-Frats, each getting 14points. Certain members of ourteam are receiving the Bronxcheer, and maybe they deserveit who knows?

Hell Week is scheduled to be-gin Monday, Feb. 5. That is themost enjoyable week of the en-tire school year . . . to the Ac-tives!

We understand that Bros.Andreen, Schefold, and Lodishare on the blacklist. Getting toomuch knowledge is often a dan-gerous thing. For further in-formation, consult any one of theabove mentioned Doctors.

Pledge T. D. Bell returned toschool this semester, after ahalf-year's absence. Glad tohave you back again, "Doc."

About two weeks ago, Bro.Morehouse "got religion." Hischange was only temporary,however, and we welcomed himback to the "Knights of TheSquare Table." He now holdsthe office of Banker in that or-ganization.

Practical work has been verywell attended this past month.Dr. Ruth and Dr. Parisi, both ofthis city were the instructors,and much valuable informationwas given us by them.

Pledge Bumpus has moved inthe house this semester. Glad tohave you with us, Frank.

Our Jay says, "Any time thatBernie wants a fourth Jay, lem-me know."

We understand that a seriousaccident happened at Dr. RoyMounts hospital. Fortunately theDoctor was immediately avail-able and expert repairs weremade on practically everythingdamaged.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAPhi Sigma Gamma extends a

hearty welcome to all new stu-dents, with best wishes for asuccessful career.

We take pleasure in announc-ing pledgeships conferred uponEdwin Zyzlewski, Detroit, Mich.,Stanley Wilkas, Detroit, Mich.,J. B. Miller, Dayton, Ohio, andDon W. Dykstra, Knoxville, Ia.

Brother Diekow engineered asuccessful party February 2, atthe chapter home, which wasboth educational and entertain-ing. Diekow learned that warmcream won't whip, and all pres-ent reported a good time.

Brother Durlam was "thatway" about a certain local girland pressed his suit (get it?).Well anyhow he is now a mar-ried man and every brotheragrees the lad did right well.Congratulations to you, Ken-neth, and every wish for happi-ness, Mrs. Durlam.

Bits about 'em. Bros. Hooseand Hecker practice girth con-trol. The pledges declined freetickets to the Policemen's Ball,all because they forgot to fix itup for the actives. Pledge Storyis back, after a semester's ab-sence. Glad to see you around,Bud. Pledge Penquite was ap-pointed callboy because of hisunique ability to keep the musi-cal note in his voice unsulliedand still get the sound sleepersaroused.

Bros. Wilks, Gibson and Jer-genson now receive their mailand telephone calls in the "OB"room.

IOTA TAU SIGMAA new semester and a promise

of a new lease on life -schoollife. Of course the usual finan-cial worries accompany this par-ticular period, but it seems thatthe majority of the brothershave been able to scrape upenough of that necessary leucreto carry them through anotherhalf year, - at least they havepromised to. Pledge Pfuhl wasnot quite so fortunate. Due tomonetary difficulties he wasforced to withdraw from school.He expects to be back with usnext year. Brother Lyle receivedremuneration from home, henceafter a half year of rest (?) heis back in school again. Goodluck, brother Lyle.

The result of fraternity elec-tions held last month were asfollows:

President-V. C. Pohl.Vice President-D. MacIntyre.Secretary-G. H. Beghtol.Brother Whetstine, '33, left

month for Boston, where he willinterne at the Boston Osteopath-ic Hospital. Brother Whetstinejust recently completed a four-months' internship at the DesMoines General Hospital. Wehope that he will make as gooda record in the East as he didhere.

Money gives and the lack ofit takes away or some old pro-verb like that. Bro. Maloy, dueto difficulties along the financiallines, has been forced to with-draw from school and therefore,

Des Moines. We hate to see himLeave. During his stay here withus, he has proved himself to beone of the most colorful mem-bers of the house; his servicesto the fraternity have been in-valuable. Our one consolation isthat he will be back with usnext fall.

The bridge team got off witha roaring start. We had a ratherdifficult time getting the boystogether-the cause lying in thefact that a number of them areby no means exponents of thatgreat American indoor sport.However, when we did succeedin coraling them, there was noholding them back. The resultswill vouch for that. Althoughthe score is in a deadlock, we'restill proud of our showing.

DELTA NOTESOn January 26 there was a

notice on the college bulletinboard stating that Dr. John M.Woods would not meet classesthat morning. Rachel Hodgeswas also missing, but no oneknew that at that time both theDoctor and Rachel were saying,"I do," at the First BaptistChurch. The wedding was veryquiet, with only their closestrelatives and friends in attend-ance.

Rachel's blonde beauty waswonderfully enhanced by anivory taffeta gown of Colonialstyle trimmed with lace ruffles,which were draped in scallopsby wreathlets of rose-buds andforget-me-nots. A coronet ofblue dotted with dainty rose-buds adorned her hair, whilehalf blown salmon-pink rosesand fragile blue sweetpeas com-prised her bouquet. The "some-thing old" was Rachel's great-grandmother's jewelry-a neck-lace, earrings, and bracelet ofold gold.

After the ceremony, Dr. andMrs. Woods left immediately fora brief honeymoon in KansasCity. Delta Omega wishes itspresident a life filled with joyand happiness.

We also want to welcome ournew co-ed, Miss Caroline Hochof Sibley, Iowa. We are certainlyglad to have you with us, Caro-line, and hope that you will soonregard Still as your true-notadopted-Alma Mater.

The January, '34, Class

The notable achievements of therecent graduating class makesit obligatory on our part to addthis report to the news of thatclass as given in our last issue.It would be difficult to selecteight members of any class andtotal their record to an equal ofthe whole class of January, 1934.

THE LOG 'BOOK

Association Membership(A. W. Clow, D. 0. Wash-

ington, Iowa.)The recent drive for members

in the state association broughtforth some interesting points.Most of those making the drivesto call on fellow Osteopathsturned in, along with their re-ports, data gathered by the vis-its with the individual practi-tioner.

The writer found these side-lights most interesting. Know-ing the individuals in many ofthe cases, personally, made thereports more interesting. Weasked for these reports in orderthat we might get nearer to acomprehensible understanding ofthe individual line of thought ofthe Osteopaths in general. Whenyou meet an individual in his orher office they are quite likelyto open up in a frank discussionof affairs in a manner totally un-heard of in an association gath-ering.

When the recent state drivewas planned we had in mindthese other things as well as themembership fee. We believe itwas much worth while. The cashobtained, possibly consideredalone was rather small consider-ing the effort put forth, but tak-ing all things into consideration,we believe it was a much worth-while effort. This seems to bethe opinion of those making thedifferent drives.

One thing we must mention,was the willing spirit in whichthe various drivers undertookthe work. After all it is askinga lot of a man to leave his prac-tice and drive one to two hun-dred miles doing something thatshould be done without any sucheffort. One small section of thestate was uncovered. In thisarea we tried three or four dif-ferent people and could get noresponse. We wonder just whatis the trouble in that particularlocality. In every other sectionthe first individuals asked sameright back with the reply: "Sendon your stuff . . . we'll do ourbest." And they did.

It has always been our con-tention that more time andthought should be given to sell-ing our association to the indi-vidual practitioner. Sometimesit seems we forget the big tentin our varied balahoo for theside-shows. We spend time andmoney in the interest of clinics,legislation, conventions, etc. andforget that the main attractionis the association. Now pleaseget our meaning, because it hasbeen our misfortune to statecertain things heretofore in suchan ambiguous way that ourstatements have received variedand strange interpretations. Wefeel that all these things-leg-islation, clinics, etc. are absolu-tely right and necessary, and wealways kick in to the best of ourability-but do you not thinkthat if we should stress associa-

tion membership and sell thatone thing to the profession thatthese other activities would betaken care of?

We may be wrong. On theother hand it remains yet to beproven that we are. We havebeen practicing in Iowa someeighteen or twenty years; dur-ing our time there has neverbeen a genuine membershipcampaign staged on the basis ofmembership alone. We believethat at least sixty percent of thepractitioners could eventually besold on the idea of associationmembership. Do that and wewould have more money forclinics, legislation, etc., than wenow have, providing this mem-bership could be maintained atthat general average over a per-iod of years. And we believethat this could be done. As amatter of fact, our percentageshould be much higher thanthat.

May we take this opportunityof thanking the doctors over thestate for the reception given andthe response made to the ten ortwelve men who co-operatedwith us so splendidly in the re-cent membership drive.

Osteopathy-- Surgery(Continued from Page 1)

tion for the physician aspiring topractice Surgery. The very prin-cipal upon which Osteopathyowes its birthright is: "Normal-ization of structure, that func-tion may not be impaired," andthis too, is the aim of surgicalpractice. Conservation has al-ways been the keynote of Osteo-pathic practice nature, with theassistance we may be able togive it, is capable of repairingwell advanced pathological chan-ges in tissues. Thus the Osteo-pathic trained mind in Surgeryas well as in its other branchesdoes not capitalize on excisionand removal but rather the res-toration of normal functionswith the minimum loss of bodytissue. This inherent respect fornature's powers as learned in ourOsteopathic concept of the cureof disease is invaluable to theoperating surgeon in his finalanalysis as to whether or not acertain disease condition re-quires surgical intervention.

It may be further said thatthe Osteopathic surgeon enjoysadvantages that no other systemof therapeutics can offer him.These great advantages arefound in Osteopathic pre-opera-tive preparation and Osteopathicpost-operative care. The statis-tics of our Osteopathic hospitalsin post-operative lung conges-tion, penumonia and atelectasisshow them to be diseases of al-most negligent consideration,while these same diseases areordinarily considered commonpost-operative complications ofsurgery. Thrombosis is anothercomplication of surgical practicerarely seen in our Osteopathicinstitutions, yet common inother systems of the healingart. One of the greatest adventsin anesthetics was the introduc-tion of spinal aneasthesia into

surgical practice, one of its chiefadvantages being the lesseningof pulmonary complications. Ifthis was the only advantage ofspinal anesthesia, Osteopathicsurgeons would not need it, asthese complications are rare intheir practice.

The normalization of circula-tion and the freeing of nerve im-pulses as produced by preoper-ative and post-operative Osteo-pathic treatment offers the sur-gical patient more normal func-tion of every tissue of the body.Oxygenation is increased, wasteproducts more rapidly eliminatedand circulation accelerated tobathe the tissues in pure blood.

Osteopathy and surgery, itwould seem, go hand in hand.The fundamental principals un-derlying their practice are iden-tical. Surgery is a necessarybranch of Osteopathic practice'and Osteopathic treatment offerssurgical practice advantages un-equaled in any other therapeuticfield.

The Trek to Sioux City

Jack Hart, an old past, pres-ent and (we hope) future friend,wrote us some time ago to comeover the 22nd of February andget a square meal at the MartinHotel in Sioux City, for whichplus $1,800.00 he would let ustalk for about an hour on thesubject of Cervical Technic. Wedid all this except the eighteenhundred, the collection fallingshort of the original estimate afew cents. It was a real pleas-ure to meet with this groupmost of whom have sufferedthrough our classes in the past.The Martin was entertainingpharmacists from all over thestate but in spite of this medicalinfluence we had an excellentmeal and managed to talk forthe required hour. Ray Gil-mour and Rex Martin took an-other hour to try to convinceeach other that Osteopathy wasO. K. after all and the meetingended bl the speaker invitinghimself to come back and makeanother talk early in April.Elizabeth Mochrie, a classmateof the editor, assumed the dig-nity for the group.

We arose early the followingmorning and drove to Bronson,Iowa, for 'breakfast with someold friends and arrived homeshortly after lunch, nearly froz-en but very glad to have madethe trip.

Believe us, that group aroundSioux City is an osteopathic one.They are thinking and giving alot of Osteopathy and don't goaround there talking anythingelse.

Dr. Woods SpeaksAt Omaha

Dr. and Mrs. John M. Woodsdrove to Omaha on Wednesdayafternoon, February 14, wherehe was invited to speak to theDouglas County Osteopathic As-sociation. His subject was "TheAbnormal Blood Pressure."

The meeting, following a ban-quet nearby, was held at the of-fice of the president, Dr. H. H.Brinkman of the class of 1927 ofD.M.S.C.O. Among the membersof the association were severalother Still College Alumni,which made a very close link.Greetings were forwarded toother teachers and friends.

This Association has been-do-ing some very good work bothin their own improvement andin presenting Osteopathy to thepublic.

Osteopathy-General Practice

By J. M. WOODS, D. O.

(We are not sure about classingDr. Woods as an "old timer." Thetitle is applied to those whosegraduation date goes back twentyyears or more, but we are gettingto the age when we would rathernot mention dates and preferaccomplishments" instead. Dr.Woods started his career at theold school in Kirksville, where heassisted in the Pathology labora-tory. He graduated, however,from Des Moines Still College,and during his last two years incollege, superintended the labora-tory work in Anatomy. During hislast year in college he also as-sisted in the Obstetrical depart-ment. Following his graduationhe was elected to the faculty andhas been in this service since1923. For the past five years hehas sserved on tht R -Ranrd f Triiq_tees of the college and takes anactive part in all college affairs.Dr. Woods is called frequently tofill speaking engagements at con-ventions and will attend the na-tional meeting in Wichita thissummer, being already scheduledfor two addresses. He maintainsan office in the city of ,Des Moinesand is called, as his paper indi-cates, on every variety of casethat an extensive family practiceoffers. It is with pleasure that wepresent this viewpoint of one whohas specialized in general prac-tice.-Editor.)

At the present time there isa greater demand for the oldfamily physician type of generalpractitioner than there has beenfor years and the graduates ofour Osteopathic colleges aremeeting that demand most suc-cessfully. Their thorough scho-lastic and clinical training plusthe effectiveness of Osteopathictreatment enables them to ob-tain such excellent results intreating a wide variety of con-ditions that more and more en-tire families depend upon theseOsteopathic physicians.

Osteopathic Ophthalmol-ogy & Oto-Laryngolovg

By H. J. MARSHALL, D. 0.

(The remarkable thing aboutdigging into the past of a numberof people is the astounding factthat some can accomplish a greatdeal in a very short time andothers never get anything done.The remarkable record of Dr.Marshall bears certain evidence oftime exceptionally well used. Dr.Marshall has already made forhimself a name that will becomea part of the history of develop-ment in Osteopathy. His earlystart in his chosen specialtybrands him as one of the pio-neers. During the years 1918-19-20, he acted as secretary of theAmerican Osteopathic Society ofOphthalmology and Oto-laryngol-ogy and was elected to the presi-dency of the society in 1921. Hewas a member of the board of thesociety from 1921 until 1932. In1929 he became a member of theexamining board of the Interna-tional Society of O. & O. L. and aFellow of the International So-ciety in 1931. Along with thework necessary in attending to apractice he has taught Eye, Ear,Nose and Throat at the St. JosephP. G. Course, has been presidentof the Iowa State Association, amember of the state board oftrustees, Editor of the State Bul-letin, and a member of the StateBoard of Osteopathic Examiners.For five years he was delegate tothe national meeting from theState of Iowa. In 1929 Dr. Mar-shall was chairman of the Gen-eral Arrangements for the na-tional convention held in DesMoines.

At the present time he is sec-retary of the Des Moines GeneralHospital, a member of the facultyof the college, a member of theCorporate Board of the college,and active in civic affairs. He sayshe will be at the national meetingin Witchita, but will only lookand listen. Capable people arebusy. That is why we knew Dr.Marshall would write of his spec-ialty in the fine way that he has.-Editor.)

The Osteopathic Rhinologistand Oto-Laryngologist occupiesa unique place in the realm ofOsteopathic Therapeutics. It isfor him to supply the principleslaid down by Dr. A. T. Still inthe treatment of Nose: and

Osteopathic Trainerfor Reds

We quote below from the Cin-cinnati Enquirer of February18th, with reference to the se-lection of Dr. Dick Rhode asphysician for the Cincinnati ballteam. Dr. Rhode is a graduateof Still College and received histraining in college, as do all Stillseniors, working directly withone of the local teams. We con-gratulate both the managementof the team and Dr. Rhode.

"Rhode, who is a graduate os-teopath, has specialized in themuscular and other ailments pe-culiar to athletes. He trainedthe Columbus team for the pasttwo years with conspicuous suc-cess and there was seldom alame arm on the squad. He willaccompany the team on all itstrips this year and will set uphis equipment in a hotel room,ready to cater to the needs ofthe players morning, noon ornight. Larry MacPhail says thathis methods will be an improve-ment on those used by any othertrainer in the league. So theReds are going to be very nearlyphysically perfect, if not quite somuch so artistically."

ATLAS CLUBAnother hell week has passed

and taken its toll of "bubbling"youth and vitality, aching jointsand "whatnots." The activitieshave slowly begun to recover andthe candidate, no doubt, can finda common meaning in the fol-lowing lines-"The road is wideand the stars are out and thebreath of night is sweet." Newmembers are Costello,, RichyStimson, Eddy, Ketman, Hall,Evans, Bell, Wyman, and Die-gar.

It is encouraging to see howthe new members are takinghold of things. Brother Cos-tello already holds an importantoffice and has organized a gymclass which meet every eveningfrom 10 p. m. to 12 p. m. onthe mezzanine floor of the AtlasClub-bring your own suits(birthday's accepted). Even the"knights of the square table"leave their smirky surroundingsnow aind then to take a turn ortwo with the old Sacro Iliac."Affliction's sons are brothers indistress."

A dance was held at the houseFriday night, and the generalverdict was that it was a howl-ing success, not too howling,however. Stags Costello andRichy didn't miss a dance. Ifthere is anything that disturbsthe harmony and feeling ofbrotherly love within a fratern-ity it is to start a discussion asto who had the best looking girl,the loveliest armful, or in otherwords the Queen of the dance.Brother Lodish always enterswholeheartedly into these littlediscussions and lauds his candi-date with all the vigor of hisPolish nature.

The club basketball team hasbegun to practice up. A returnencounter with the KirksvilleAtlas Club team looms in the im-mediate offing and the boys wantto make a good showing. Agroup of nearly twenty visitorsis expected so boys get out yourtelephone numbers and fix 'emup.

Brothers Halladay and Twa-dell took a spin down to Kansaslast week end.

Brother Bell also took a tripto Sioux City to visit the "littlewoman."

It has been announced thatopen house is to be held everySaturday night from now on sofellow brothers, bring yourdames and friends and come onout.

Loitering around the variousbridge games on Sunday after-noons one is struck by the dead-ly, determined faces of the non-frats. Looks like we are goingto have to get busy.

It has been nosed about thatGlen Bigsby is living in thehouse now. Glad to have youback Glen.

IOTA TAU SIGMAAs spring approaches (right

now at the time of this writingit does not appear much like it)our thoughts lightly turn to thesubject of moving and not love.This has been going on for sev-eral months. Hdwever, now thatthe warm weather is expectedour thinking finally has devel-oped into actions. For a weekor more now the boys have beenhunting and haunting real es-tate agencies. We had no ideathat the large houses were soscarce. No doubt they have allb e e n turned into roominghouses. That seems to be thegeneral trend of conditions.

Once again Bro. Maloy is seencareening crazily through thestreets of Des Moines in his al-leged automobile. It seems thatthe car (?) has been layed upfor repairs in Carroll, Iowa.How it got up there is a questionthat only Bro. Maloy can answer.Last week end he inviegled Bro.Gerow into accompanying him toCarroll in order to return thecar. Just ask Bro. Gerow howhe likes to ride in an open caron a cold morning, and anotherthing, we are waiting with ourfingers crossed until after the3rd of April.

Brother Hurd has taken uphis abode in the house again af-ter a semester absence. Heplans continuing with us untilthe end of the year when hegraduates. We take this oppor-tunity to welcome Bro. Hurdback to the fold.

Bro. Beghtol is having trou-ble again because ladies con-tinually call him up disturbinghim in his studies. Everytimethe phone rings he is seen to set-tle back with a satisfied grin on'his face and just waits for some-one to call him to answer it.For some reason or other it isgenerally for him. What is thesecret of your popularity, S. G.?

Tempus didn't fugit quite fastenough for the pledges lastweek. Except for sore feet theycame through well and with fly-ing colors.

Bro. Kinter, '28, was a re-cent visitor at the house as alsowas Bro. Belden, '31.

A gentleman rapped at thedoor the other day and asked ifcould purchase a fly-wheel forhis car. Noting a puzzled look,he said, "Pardon, but don't youdeal in scrapped parts?" Bros.Beghtol and Lyles cars were sit-ting out in front.

'The fraternity didn't fare sowell in the bridge tournament.The competition in the housethough is keen. There is an un-founded rumor about that Bros.Beghtol and Maloy are cham-pions. No one, but themselves,recognizes their prowess inbridge.

Congratulations to Bros. Ger-ow and Herbert. They are nowfull fledged members of thatnew but honored society, "Car-riers of the Mail."

'The next time Bro. Beghtol

wants a date he is going overto the pediatrics ward of theIowa Methodist Hospital. Webelieve there are more cradlesthere than any place else he canrob.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAApparently (?) another hard

winter is breaking up, at least atthe Phi Sig House, where theactive pledges have all becomeveritable heralds of spring. Thepledges have shown a renewedinterest in the house, and eventhe time honored treating tablehas had every squeak removedthanks to Morgan; and orchidsto the pledges who have glued,nailed, wired, sewed and paint-ed wherever an odd-job neededto be done.

Mrs. Robinson and Miss Craw-ford were guests at dinner a fewSundays ago. We always liketo have guests and invite themback.

Wnat would it mean to youif: Brother Bartram received apackage from an official jewelerand then trekked to Ashtabula,O'hio, in great haste? We don'teither, but he did!

Bill Rees is mapping his fu-ture meanderings strengthenedby Joe's examples.

A well rounded man: Broth-er Owen does his saturday after-noon work to Grand Opera-thisscribbler was entertained brief-ly with an account of what LucyLammermore is all about!

A gentleman of the first wat-er: Brother Moore and howhe stands that cold water soearly in the A. M. is more thanI can see.

Two of a kind: Brother Way-land and his car (Ford), neitherone appears to get in a hurrybut both are capable of carryinggreat loads and always get therenone the worse for wear. Afteran O. B. call the "automobiles"finishes the night in the drive-way and Byron on the davenport-yet both are up in time topush bigger cars and bigger boysto eight o'clock classes.

A man of good taste: BrotherMattern, we agree with you.

Interfraternity BridgeTournament

The interfraternity bridge raceis in the home stretch with theNon-frats and the Atlas battlingfor first place. The Non-frats arein the lead by nine points. Thisis the largest difference in pointsbetween the two teams so forin the tournament. The PhiSigma Gammas and the IotaTau Sigma are fighting to keepout of the cellar position withthe P. S. G.'s leading by sevenpoints.

Sunday, March 11th, marksthe grand finale and the begin-ning of post mortems. The cir-culating trophy, which at pres-ent is in the custody of the At-las Club, Will be awarded to thevictor at theigma Sigma Sigma Phiassembly.

L The Sigma Sigma Phi wish to* congratulate the participants on

their interest and sportsman-1 ship during the tournament. Not

even one match was won by for-feit. Any criticism on-the rules,etc., and remarks will be wel-comed.

Watch for announcement forthe coming kitten-ball tourna-ment. Spring is around the cor-ner. Let's go, fellows. Beginto get organized.

The Medics Failed

The clinic at the college con-tinues to furnish us with casereports that a few years agowould be classed as spectacularor called a miracle. These curesare so common in Osteopathicpractice that ordinarily we payvery little attention to them. Thecase of Miss M. G. is unusual inthis way. She gives what mightbe called a "blank" history, thatis, there was nothing of any im-portance in either physical orlaboratory examination t h a tshowed a reason for the symp-toms. An osteopathic examina-tion of the spine revealed mark-ed lesions. These were correct-ed and the case recovered.

This patient came into theclinic with Aphonia and Anuria,She had been to one of our wellknown medical clinics and hadbeen examined by several medicsnone of which gave her any en-couragement. :She had not beenable to talk for three years andhad to resort to the use of thecathater for the bladder condi-tion for over two years. Lesionswere found at 1-2-6 cervical, 1-2-7-8 Thoracic and 4-5 Lumbar.We quote from the student's re-port.

"I treated her daily for twoweeks in which time I took spe-cial care in treating her neck andthroat. 'She was greatly reliev-ed of her nervousness and theheadache came only in the eve-ning and left when lying down.She was improving rapidly so Ihad her come in three times aweek instead of every day.

"On November 23rd she calledme on the phone with her natur-al voice and I could not believeit was she talking until I heardand saw her the next day. Amstill treating her two or threetimes a week to clear up thebladder condition. At times thebladder function will return fora week or two at a time, thenshe will have to cathaterize her-self again. I am sure that it willsoon return to normal. Herother symptoms have all disap-peared and at the present timeshe is working in a grocerystore.

,She offered the followingstatement when asked what shethought of Osteopathy. "I can-not find words to express myselfconcerning the Osteopathic fieldand my Osteopathic doctor."

A complete record of this casecan be found in the clinic of theDes Moines Still College of Oste-opathy. Names and dates canbe furnished if necessary and thepatient will be glad to tell ofher recovery.

Osteopathy Without Limitation

Name the Town!

About this time of year wehear a good deal of talk aboutthe matter of locations. Everymember of the Senior class knewexactly where he or she wouldlocate when they were progress-ing through their first two orthree years work but now findthemselves "locationless." Asurvey of the number of practic-ing osteopaths in the countryand a glance at any recent listof deaths makes us think aboutthe same question but in a verydifferent light. We wonderwhere is the town that is so fill-ed with Osteopathic physiciansthat there is not room for onemore. Is there a town of anysize in the United States thathas absolutely no use for oneor more of our profession? If soI would like to know its name.Do you mean to tell me thatevery resident of every commun-ity in this country is informedabout Osteopathy and in thiscommunity that you have inmind every resident is satisfiedwith the therapy they have avail-able? Do you mean to tell methat here is a town that is 100per cent against Osteopathy? Ican't believe that such a placeexists. I do know that it will bemany years before we as a pro-fession will reach the pointwhere we will need no more Os-teopathic Physicians. It will bethe same year that the publicwill have no further use forphysicians of any kind, so veryfew of us here now nted to wor-ry much about it.

Osteopaths are needed every-Where. Be sure that you go toa place that you will like. Aplace where you will want tolive and be a part of the com-munity life. It will be yourhome. These are the founda-tion stones for your success. 'Se-lect the state, blindfold yourselfand stick a pin in the map. Thattown is a good place to practice.

Dr. Golden Appointed

Dr. L. L. Wade, Winterset,Secretary of the Sixth Districthas informed the State Secretarythat the officers of the 'Sixth haveappointed Dr. Mary Golden ofDes Moines to fill out the termof late Dr. C. M. Proctor, flormlal-ly state trustee from that dis-trict. We feel confident the ap-pointment of Dr. Golden willmeet with state wide approval.

Polk County Association

When Polk County decides todo a thing it is done right. OnFebruary ninth Dr. R. N. Mac-Bain of Chicago was the guestspeaker and over fifty attendedthe meeting, many being fromout of the city. Dr. MacBainmet the student body of the col-lege in the morning and gavethem some sound osteopathic ad-vice. Being a member of thefaculty of the Chicago collegehe felt perfectly at home herebefore a group of students andhis remarks were highly appreci-ated.

The dinner, held at 6:30 p.m. at the Chamberlain Hiotelwas followed by several enter-tainment features planned byMrs. R. B. Kale. Dr. MacBainthen addressed the group on thesubject, "The Involuntary Nerv-ous System." It is needless toadd that those who heard himleft with a much clearer under-standing of the principles uponwhich the science of Osteopathyis based. Entertainment for thewives of the visiting doctorsconsisted of bridge during. theaddress.

Mrs. Kale's entertainers wereMr. and Mrs. Anderson in songs;Miss Nutt dancing, and MissBachman (daughter of Dr. R. B.Bachman) a harp soloist.

The following by their pres-ence and applause plainly indi-cated their approval of the en-tire program:

Osteopathy-General Practice

(Continued from Page 1)long trail, there are many timesin that patient's life when Os-teopathic care will enable himto enjoy the greatest possiblehealth and happiness. As theinfant passes from the colic tothe. croup stage the parents ap-preciate the immediate relief af-forded their gasping child by ourform of therapy. Later as hereturns from school with mea-sles or some other contagiousdisease, he obtains relief andescapes complications under thesame doctor's care. Then foot-ball, basketball, "shinny," andother rough and tumble gamescause him to appreciate the re-lief Osteopathic hands a n dbrains afford. He depends uponhis Osteopath not only for phys-ical care but for all types of ad-vice during these adolescentyears. His sister may obtaineven greater results from Osteo-nathic care during this period ofdevelopment. These youngsterscome to know through personalexperience that Osteopathy is acomplete system of therapy andto depend upon it in every caseof injury or illness.

Conditions often arise at var-ious times in a person's lifewhich seem to require surgicaltreatment. In many cases opera-tions may be rendered unneces-sary by Osteopathic treatmentwhile those cases operated uponby the Osteopathic surgeonmake more rapid and completerecoveries due to the treatmentsgiven before and especially afterthe operation. The family Osteo-path can watch and treat thesepost operative cases in such away that normal function is re-stored to the greatest possibledegree in the shortest possibletime.

As the doctor's young patientsmature and establish homes oftheir own they perhaps learn toappreciate that Osteopathic ob-stetrics means a great deal bothfor mother and child. The pre-natal care, which safeguardsboth precious lives, the lessenedsuffering and greater safety dur-ing labor and the effectivenessof Osteopathic care as the moth-er returns to normal and thechild develops causes the parentto rely upon their Osteopath incase of any future "blessedevents."

Most people spend the firsthalf of their lives fighting infec-tion and the last half resistingthese degenerative processesthat tend to develop as the yearsgo by. However, these degenera-tive processes such as hardeningof the arteries and weakening ofthe heart muscles, are much lessapt to occur if deviations fromnormal body structure are cor-rected by Osteopathic treatmentbefore they unfavorably influ-ence body function and causethese degenerative processes tobegin. In most cases these de-generative processes are the re-sult of abnormal blood and

nerve supply, and our school oftherepy has for years echoedthe axiom of our founder, Dr. A.T. Still, that "the rule of theartery is supreme," and by Os-teopathic treatment we have inmany cases so normalized thisblood and nerve supply to thediseased part that function isgreatly improved and in somecases restored to normal.

So from the cradle to thegrave, the patient may dependupon his Osteopathic physicianto efficiently care for him andhis family in sickness and main-taining health.

For the doctor, general prac-tice offers many rewards: a re-spected place in the communitylife, a comfortable living, a use-ful old age, a warm spot in thehearts of many grateful patientsand the satisfaction of a life wellspent in service to one's fellowmen, and in advancing the sci-ence of Osteopathy. Such a lifeof service should appeal tomany young men and women,and they will find that the Os-teopathic colleges offer them theneeded preparation for such acareer.

She has been anoutstanding physician in hercommunity, loyal and progress-ive, and has identified herselfwith the various movements andenterprises tending to advanceOsteopathy. Dr. Ella Gilmourwas the first woman president ofour state society. I had the pleas-ure in 1926 of seeing her giventhe honored seat between theoutgoing national president, Dr.Asa Willard, and the incomingnational president, Dr. Ray Gil-mour, who is her son. It was ajoy to see the twinkle in her eyeand proud expression on her facein that feeling. We were honor-ed that Iowa could furnish a na-tional president.

Dr. Della Caldwell comesnext, as she graduated from DesMoines Still College in 1902. Shehas been honored by her profes-sional associates with the officeof President of Iowa State So-ciety, an honor that is indica-tive of her high standing andprestige in her profession. Shehas always been a woman of pub-lic spirit and has taken her fullshare of responsibilities in com-munity and professional under-takings. Dr. Caldwell is a mem-ber of the National, State, Dis-trict and County Societies. Sheis chairman of the Iowa Osteo-pathic Adult Health Clinic,which, at the Iowa State Fairfor the past two years, has donemuch to get Osteopathy beforethe public in an educational andscientific way. Such women asDr. Della Caldwell and Dr. Ma'ryGolden are helping the profes-sion to make this possible. Weneed more students and partic-ularly women students to tossthe torch, to carry on.

Dr. Mary Golden comes as ayounger Osteopathic physician,having graduated from D.M.S.C.0. in 1912. She has the person-ality and the technical abilitythat makes for success in theOsteopathic profession, of whichshe is a prominent represent-

the assistance in consultation ortreatment must come from anOsteopath. This explains whymost general practitioners insiston consultations and specialtreatment, or surgery in thesebranches, being done by the Os-teopathic Eye, Ear, Nose andThroat Specialist and not bypractitioners of other schools ofpractice who have an entirelydifferent viewpoint both in diag-nosis and treatment and which,because of lack of unity inthought and harmony in action,must result comparatively un-favorable.

In the event that surgical ornon-surgical interference be-comes necessary by the consult-ing Eye, Ear, Nose and Throatspecialist, the general practition-er in charge of the case is skill-ed in the after care. This aftercase is strictly Osteopathic inprinciple and in practice and isone of the factors which hasdetermined our remarkable suc-cess in the handling of Eye, Ear,Nose and Throat diseases thruthe co-operation of the Osteo-pathic general practitioner andthe Osteopathic Eye, Ear, Noseand Throat specialist.

It is of great interest to noticethat Osteopathy played a not un-important part in the recentlycompleted Iowa State H i g hSchool Basketball Tournament.

The West High team of Wa-_jrl1oo- one of the prize quintets

of 'the turniey was treated :and"cared for by Dr. Burton M. Got-shall, Osteopathic physician ofWaterloo. His team swept thruall opposition to the finals andin the championship game wasdefeated by the narrowest ofmargins, 20 to 19, by East ofSioux City.

It was the first time an Os-teopathic physician was everasked to work in connectionwith athletics in the schools ofWaterloo and the splendid suc-cess of the team speaks well forOsteopathy. Congratulations onWest's fine record, Dr. Gotshall!

Washington Eliminated

Evidently the town we werelooking for was not in the stateof Washington. We know thewriter and we know several outthere and it is a wonderful placeto live. We may be out that wayon a vacation tour this summer,but WHERE ARE THE OTHER47 STATES?

Here is a state secretary thathas the kind of confidence thatwe admire above everything else.We knew he believed in Osteo-pathy. "We are now certai¥n thahe believes in WashingtonState.

Gentlemen:Your article, in the Log Book

of March 15, called my attentionto the fact that we need moreOsteopathic physicians in theState of Washington.

I believe that we have themost ideal situation here in theState of Washington for a newdoctor out of school than anysection of the country. We haveeverything here that one couldhope to have: climate; naturalresources; shipping; farming;dairying; manufacturing; log-ging and lumbering industries.

If there are any of your stu-dents interested in the State ofWashington, I will be glad tohave them get in touch with me.

Very truly yours,Clarence B. Utterback.

Osteopathy-and Athletes

By H. V. HALLADAY, D. O.

It seems strange for a studentof Still to write Dr. H. V. Halla-day-it is so formal. Better andmore natural to just say "Virge."The fact that all students, soonafter matriculation, fondly ad-dress him as "Virge" speaks elo-quently of the position he holdsin the hearts of those who thuscome into contact with him. Tothe alumni and his many friendsin the profession he is also"Virge." Where ever you find Os-teopathic physicians you find menwho know and speak highly ofVirge Halladay.

Dr. Halladay graduated fromthe A. S. O. in January, 1916. Heassisted in Chemistry, Anatomyand Histology during his schoolterm and taught Anatomy duringhis senior year. He was appointedto the faculty at the request ofthe "Old Doctor" and completelyreorganized the teaching of Anat-omy in the laboratory and wrotea manual on the subject. Providedwith funds by Dr. George Still, heproduced the flexible spine which

Dr. Halladay came to DesMoines as a teacher in 1924 andhas served as a member of theBoard of Trustees of the Collegesince 1926. He has an internation-al reputation as a teacher and re-search worker in Anatomy. He isin constant demand as a speakerand has appeared on the programof the national association eachyear for the past fifteen years.

He is deeply interested in fra-ternity work, having been GrandNoble Skull of the Atlas Club andGrand President of Sigma SigmaPhi. He is at present Historianfor the Grand Council of the At-las Club and chairman of theboard of trustees of the GrandChapter of Sigma Sigma Phi. Heis also a member of Square andCompass and honorary member ofAcacia Club.

Dr. Lonnie L. Facto is an out-standing example of the youngergeneration of militant Osteopathicphysicians. He is a natural stu-dent and is constantly in touchwith late developments in allbranches of the healing art. Tothe students he is truly a friendin need as he is never too busyto answer questions and give ad-vice and a helping hand to all whoare in need of a bit of aid.

Dr. Facto graduated from Stillin 1926 and was elected a memberof the faculty. He resigned, how-ever, to take a position as headof the clinics of the OsteopathicHospital and Clinic of London,England. Returning from abroadhe was in private practice for twoyears, giving this up to becomea full time instructor on the fac-utly of his Alma Mater.

ATLAS CLUBSome tell, some hear, some

judge news, others make it. TheKirksville boys are certainly noslouches at the latter. After thefrivolities of a very active week-end, we managed to get themstarted in the general directionof home but it seems that an ob-serving Des Moines patrolmannoticed the absence of a veryimportant part of the anatomyo--one of the cars. Feeling thatthe law should be no respecterof persons, said patrolman pro-ceeded to tuck the boys safelyaway until the matter could beinvestigated. The owner of thecar hails from Costa Rica and,due to some delay, had failed toreceive his license plates in timefor the trip. Poor Costa Rican'sstory did not set well with theauthorities. They wished an ex-planation of his presence in theU. S., his purpose in this city,his citizenship papers, etc., andas things were getting bad, theboys called for help. Four hourslater, after much pulling ofstrings and heated arguments,Governor Herring, himself, gotout of bed and took things inhand. As a result the boys werereleased and went merrily ontheir way.

Spring was officially inaugu-rated at the house last Sundaymorning with the annual yard-cleaning. Everyone was upbright and early to smilinglylend a willing hand to the work.Oh, yeah?

A number of the brotherswent home for Easter. Andreen,Richey, Landy Johnson, Belland nledge_C. A, Johnson.

The Club welcomes BrotherForbes back to the fold aftertwo years absence.

Brother Schefold has beenconfined to bed for the past fourdays with bronchitis.

The Sigma Sigma Phi danceoccasioned several new springoutfits among the more well-to-do members. Believe it or not,there are one or two of thatgroup left. It also occasioned theusual Saturday afternoon rowover hot water. Brother Bigsbyinsisted on taking his Saturdaynight bath in the afternoon-much to Brother Bell's indigna-tion.

Election of officers will beheld Monday, April 16. It ishoped that every member willfeel under obligation to attendand help elect men who willcapably carry on the work atthe house next year.

Don't forget the kittenballand golf tournaments. Betterstart training, boys.

Guess what Bro. Owen plansto do this summer-you may besurprised. Pledge Rice plans tocatch up on some sleep lostwhen he played "callboy."

The old homestead has beenin various stages of vacancyduring the past few weeks. Sev-eral jumped the gun a weekearly and made longer trips totighten the home ties.

I am deeply appreciative of theopportunity afforded me of onceagain taking up the editorship ofthe Log Book, after an absenceof two years.

Many alumni and prospectivestudents were, during my prev-ious tenure of office, very con-siderate in taking the time tosend in criticisms, suggestionsand contributions, all of whichwere of inestimable value. It ismy sincere wish that all of youwill do so in the future. It isthrough such co-operation thatthis publication can be made toserve its intended purposes tothe highest degree.

Working on the Log Book wasone of the greatest enjoymentsof my collegiate experience andI feel sure that it shall be soeven to a greater degree duringthe coming year.

To those who were so kind asto take an active interest in mywork two years ago I extend acordial invitation to do so again.To my new acquaintances I sendgreetings and the wish that Ishall shortly have the pleasureof hearing from you.

-J. Robert Forbes.

Osteopathy and Athletes(Continued from Page 1)

contributed to the success ofathletic events would be an ex-tremely hard job. It would befar easier to list those who havenot. Without knowing it, ourprofession has followed a per-fectly natural course in this re-spect. We have, without the in-tent in mind, made ourselvesconspicuous in this field and theanswer is another bit of logic.

To the majority of us an ath-lete is perfection in physique.He or she has no organic dis-ease-he is in the "pink" ofcondition. The matter of prepar-ing for this high efficiency froma physical standpoint has meantmonths of training. The nextproblem is to maintain thisstandard and if anything shoulddevelop to have at hand an ex-pert on physical man. Duringthis process of training the ath-lete has not been taking drugs.He has avoided everything thatmight be detrimental to his phy-sical well-being. His traininghas been largely mechanical andhe has a high appreciation ofthe value of a knowledge of bodymechanics. Many times duringthe process of his training he hassought the advice and care of amember of our profession, know-ing that our school of therapystresses the idea of body me-chanics.

What does the winner in anathletic event have that thelosers lack? It is not a betterbrain than the others in the raceexcept in the light of a controlcenter. It is perfection of bodymechanics that puts him in thelead whatever the game may be.His ability to respond at theright time, to be prepared andready for the break when itcomes, to have that reserveenergy needed at the crucialmoment, to be able to do themost with the least effort, andto be appreciative of his ownlimitations.

The Osteopath trained by lec-tures and demonstrations is farbetter fitted to care for athletesthan any other type of physician.We think of the body as a ma-chine and in this type of workthe machinery of the body mustbe kept in perfect condition orthe athlete will fail to come upto marks that he has alreadyestablished. We make an exten-sive study of the bones and ar-ticulations and unless the jointsof an athlete are in perfectworking order his efficiency isnot up to normal. They are theactive tissues that produce themovement of the joints and theirelasticity must be maintained.The 'Osteopath knows the nerv-ous system and has a very fineappreciation of its physiology.We know that the response of amuscle depends entirely on therapid transmission of a sensoryimpulse, the immediate transfer-ence of this to the motor systemand the speedy flash of power tothe muscle intended. This nervepath must be cleared of everypossible factor that might inter-

fere with the completion of thisnecessary reflex which oftenmakes or breaks an athlete.

In Des Moines every studenthas the opportunity of makinga study of the care of athletes.Working as we do with the pub-lic school system and otherschools and colleges in the city,we have under our care as manyas one thousand athletes duringthe football season alone. Thisis extended to basketball, swim-ming, wrestling, track and base-ball. Our graduates are given aspecial course of lectures in thiswork which is followed by ac-tual experience with the ath-letes. You go into the trainingquarters and work with them.You get dirty and sweaty withthem and win with them. Youare as much a part of the teamas any member of it and it isappreciated.

Your work is the care of trau-matic injuries. This does notmean that you have to go toathletes to find this type of path-ology. In your regular practiceyou have many such cases. Falls,body blows, wrecks, and otheracute injuries produce the sametype of pathology. Even if younever officially take care of ateam, your training should in-clude a thorough course in thecare of traumatic injuries. Thesecontacts should be made in col-lege and you should be preparedby actual experience with casesthat will certainly convince youand the patient of the efficiencyof Osteopathic methods.

Many of our profession actregularly in the capacity oftrainers and physicians f o rteams in their home town. Sometravel with organizations duringthe season. The last five yearshave brought out many changesin methods and rapid recogni-tion of the ability of the Osteo-path in such cases. The care ofathletes may be classed as aspecialty but it is such a naturalpart of the practice that everyOsteopath with the proper train-ing is an expert in this line.

Osteopathy in theInfectious Diseases

(Continued from Page 1)quantity of bacteria poisons,bacteria themselves, and theproducts of tissue destruction.This brings forth a reaction, inwhich antibodies are produced,that have for their purpose theneutralization of toxin and thedestruction of bacteria. Thosetissues that are able to respondby the formation of specificantibodies are scattered through-out the body and include manydifferent kinds of cells in manydifferent organs. It is the abilityof these cells to react in thisway that enables the body tomake a curative response in thepresence of infections.

Nature's reaction to the infec-tions in general are fever, rapidpulse, increased respiratory andelevated basal metabolic rates.All are expressive of the in-creased catabolic changes inci-

dent to the toxin and bacterialdestruction. Therefore, it is ob-vious that the ideal and scien-tific treatment of infectious dis-eases should be directed towardthese curative reactions. Intreating acute infectious dis-eases Osteopathically we assistthe body in bringing about thesechanges. The effects are far-reaching and bring about vaso-motor influences and a shiftingof body fluids that affect everyorgan and tissue of the body.

The general treatment con-sists of a thorough relaxation ofthe tissues of the neck, theshoulder girdles, of the dorsaland lumbar regions, and of thepelvis; the raising of the ribs;the correction of Osteopathiclesions that can be easily cor-rected; and the establishment ofas much spinal articular move-ment as is consistent with theamount of passive motion thatthe patient should receive. Thisincreases the amount of lymphinto the general circulation fromall over the body, bringing abouta quickened stimulation of anti-body formation by the reticulo-endothelial system. If the treat-ment is given during the incu-bation period it will often abort,or render the course of the dis-ease much shorter and less sev-ere. Given during the convales-cent period it will materiallylessen chances of relapse.

If the Osteopathic care ofacute infectious diseases werelimited to the general treatmentabove described, it would stillbe the most effective and sci-entific therapy available at thepresent time. But in additionthe spleen, liver, thyroid, andadrenal glands may be stimu-lated for specific effects.

The spleen aids the body indisease by producing antibodies,and as its antibody content isgreater than that of any otherorgan, it is easy to understandwhy it is so effective when weincrease its function. The hy-perfunction of the spleen isbrought about by manipulat ' -

which increases thie ---ciculationof the organ. This is done byplacing one hand under thespleen, with patient in dorsalposition, the other hand overorgan in front. A slow, easybimanual compression with ab-rupt relaxation is given. Whenthe spleen is diseased or adjac-ent inflammation is present thisshould not be done.

The liver also produces anti-bodies, converts toxic wastes andbacterial toxins into inert, orless harmful substances, and isa storehouse for glycogen, whichis used in abnormal quantityduring infection. We increasecirculation of the liver (by thesame method used to stimulatethe spleen) in infectious dis-eases to increase the formationof antibodies, toxin destruction,and to accelerate glycogen mo-bilization.

The hyperfunction of the thy-roid gland during acute infec-tious diseases, furnishes the tis-sues with a secretion that in -

THE LOG BOOK

As the time for our 1934 StateConvention draws near we aregiven to wondering if the pro-fession realizes the importanceof convention attendance.

The writer, in the early daysof his practice, when attendinga convention, always had inmind just one thing. That onething was to get everythingworth while offered. To do thisthe entire program was listenedto with rapt attention. Not theslightest detail was to be miss-ed. The result was that aftertwo or three days of followingevery speaker with the closestpossible interest one was quitelikely to go home with rather ahazy idea of the entire programand a definite workable knowl-edge of no particular thing. Tolisten closely to speaker afterspeaker is simply to go stale.

Then we learned that the bestway to handle a convention wasto treat the program much aswe would a well filled banquettable. That is, not try to eateverything in sight but selectthose things which particularlyappealed to us. This. plan worksmuch better from the stand-point of actually taking homesomething new of which we hadmastered a workable knowledge.Not only that but we returnedto the office filled with a newvigor and enthusiasm instead ofmentally and physically ex-hausted.

Greeting old friends, makingnew acquaintances, swapping ex-periences, all are a very impor-tant part of a convention pro-gram. The social and entertain-ment side are just as importantin their way as the technicalknowledge displayed on the plat-form.

This year's program is an es-pecially happy arrangement. Re-gardless of the doctor's partic-ular taste, he or she is going tond' something to his particular

.rnr;g. g-A-- perfectly wonderfultechnical program balanced by adelightful arrangement of enter-tainment and social activitieswill offer something pertinent tothe desires of each individual.

The past years have been leanand hard. We are possibly downin the dumps. This year, of allyears, it behooves us to attendthe State Convention. We needto be drawn out of ourselves;we need to get out of the rut;we need to build up our enthus-iasm and hopes by meeting theother fellow with a cheerfulword and a hopeful countenance.Above all we need to brush upon our technique. Do not tell usthat you haven't taken a slump-that you are on your toes.The only time that happens iswhen business is booming. Dulltimes mean dull Osteopaths. Re-member that the patient getsfed up on the same old thingdone in the same old way. Cometo Des Moines, May 3 and 4, andthen go back and fool them. Dothe same old thing in a different,

creases the catabolic phase ofmetabolism. This gland is stim-ulated directly by manipulationover it of the soft tissues aroundthe gland, or indirectly by stim-ulation of those segments of thecord from which nerves pass toregulate its output.

The adrenal glands increasetheir activity during the acuteinfection, for the increased car-diac activity, the maintainanceof blood pressure, and elevationof temperature is due in part totheir secretion. It also activatesthe trypsin of the leukocytes,stimulates the thyroid gland,aids in the mobilization of gly-cogen and increases general me-tabolism. These glands cannotbe affected by direct manipula-tion, but it should be possible toincrease their secretion by stim-ulation of those segments of thecord from which the sympathet-ic nerves to the glands originate.

To summarize the manipula-tive treatment of acute infec-tious diseases, it would includethe correction of all lesions thatcan be easily corrected, thethorough relaxation of all con-tracted tissue, the securing offree spinal articular motion, andthe specific stimulation of thespleen, liver, thyroid and theadrenals.

Osteopathy and theLaboratory

By Glenn En. Fiser, D. u.

Dr. Glenn E. Fisher is in chargeof all laboratories of D. M. S. C. O.and conducts classes in Compara-tive Therapeutics, Inorganic andOrganic Chemistry. It would seemthat a heavy schedule like thiswould be very demanding upon Dr.Fisher's time, and it is, yet healways is able to find time to ad-vise any student or aid those inclinic with the problems of labora-tory diagnosis that inevitablyarise. He is never too busy to aidin running a gastric analysis, ablood sugar estimation or anyother necessary procedure. This isexemplified by the students them-selves in always saying, "Let's askDr. Fisher" whenever they are un-able to solve problems in drugs,chemistry, or laboratory work.

Dr. Fisher holds a B. A. degreefrom Penn College, a B. Sc. fromthe University of Iowa, and a D.O. from this college. He transfer-ed to Still from the Iowa U. Col-lege of Medicine and graduated inJanuary, 1933. He was immediatelygiven the chair he now holds onthe faculty. Before entering IowaU. he taught chemistry and phy-

ns t H.g .o..-A -td~-"g '- ot . ..oT 'eI:Iowa, for three years.

He is a member of Acacia, Sigma Sigma Phi and the Atlas Cluband takes an active interest infunctions of these organizations.

Dr. Fisher's hobbies are his fam-ily, golf and motoring.-(Editor.)

The use of Laboratory meth-ods in clinical diagnosis has be-come recognized as a necessityin modern practice of the heal-ing art, so that clinical pathol-ogy is now considered an im-portant specialty.

Laboratory tests are merelyan extension of our specialsenses. The microscope detectswhat the naked eye cannot, butthe reverse is also true. The moreaccomplished the clinician, themore discriminating he is in theuse of the laboratory.

The following are the simpleroutine tests given in order oftheir utility:- Urine analysis,chemical and microscopic; Hem-oglobin estimation and bloodcounts: Pathogenic organisms


Osteopathy andX-Radiance

By B; L. I. asih, D. O.

When journeying to Des MoinesGeneral Hospital one meets amost friendly, courteous and kind-ly group of physicians. Amongthem will be found Dr. Byron L.Cash. chief roentgenologist, phy-sio-therapist and director of lab-oratories. The work of Dr. Cashis known far and wide and hisskill has earned an enviable repu-tation for the X-Ray Laboratoryof the Hospital. Oftentimes hemay be found in the laboratoryartfully preparing pathologicalspecimens to add to his alreadyextensive and valuable collection.

Students of Still College valuehis council and always find himeager to aid them in any way pos-sible. He is a welcome guest atfraternity and college functionsand his wit and never-ending fundof humor are always anticipated.

Dr. Cash was graduated fromD.M.S.C.O. in 1917, interned at DesMoines General Hospital and tooka year of P. G. work in 1920. Withthe exception of three years spentin private practice he has been amember of the hospital staff since1920.

'He" is professor 'ot' hy anidPhysio-Therapy and assistant pro-fessor of Urology at Still Collegeand consultant to the collegeclinic.

During the war Dr. Cash servedin the Laboratory Division of theMedical Corps and was one of thefirst Osteopathic physicians ac-cepted for that service. He servednine months overseas and, althobut a sergeant, had completecharge of the laboratory in whichhe was stationed.

He is a member of the Iota TauSigma and Sigma Sigma Phi fra-ternities. His hobbies are his fam-ily, photography and gardening.-Editor.)

This topic chould be of greatimportance to every OsteopathicPhysician and Surgeon.

ATLAS CLUBIn spite of the fact that our

annual picnic was held on aboutthe hottest day of the year,everyone who went expressed acomplete and wholly satisfiedopinion that the function wasabout the best ever. There wasplenty of everything and, intruth "a good time was had byall."

The kittenball tournament isnow history. Atlas came throughin real old time style to clinchthe cup with three straight vic-tories. The final game was play-ed Sunday with I. T. S. and weemerged on the long end of a 12to 5 score.

Saturday night was openhouse and a large number turn-ed out. As usual everyone enjoy-ed the evening with little or nostrain upon the pocketbook. Theaffair was in honor of Bro. Bell'swife, who was visiting him oveithe week-end.

A number of the Brothersfrom Axis Chapter of Kirksvillespent the night of April 28 withus while attending the DrakeRelays. Welcome, Brothers-come often.

Nine men will leave us thisspring: Brothers Johnson, Twa-dell, Stingley, Dierdorff, Ogden,McAllister, Tannehill, Mount andHalladay. Some will interne andothers will face the cruel worldat once. We know that thesemen have all prerequisites tosuccess and the best of wishesgo forth with them. Don't for-get us, Brothers; we want tohear from you often.

Monday, May 7, saw the lastof this year's practical worknights. Dr. Fired Campbell ofDes Moines, spoke to us on"What It 'Means to Be Able toSay, 'I Am An Atlas Man'." Thiswas undoubtedly one of the fin-est lectures we have been priv-ileged to listen to and we areproud to be able to call Dr.Campbell our Brother.

IOTA TAU SIGMASince the last edition of the

Log Book, Iota Tau Sigma hasbeen enjoying the new housewhich it took over the fifteenthof last month. To say that weare pleased with our new quar-ters would be putting it mildly.We were only able to realize our

present home after a year and ahalf of sacrifice on the part ofthe brothers who stood by thefraternity during those leantimes. However, now that thatunpleasant existance is but amemory, we have been able toget off to a fresh start and anassurance of continued good for-tune.

Iota Tau Sigma takes pleas-ure in announcing that FrancisYukl, Bennie Devine, and Har-old Dresser have recently becomeactive members of Beta Chapter.We congratulate these men andexpect great things from them inthe future.

In a recent election the follow-ing men were successful in be-coming officers of the fraternity:

President T. C. Hobbs.Vice Pres.-B. H. Devine.Secretary D. W. MacIntyre.Treasurer-R. T. ,Gerow.We look toward these Broth-

ers as our guiding lights in fra-ternity affairs for the comingsemester. It might here be add-ed that the writer has againbeen honored (?) by the Chap-ter in designating him to im-part unto the curious world theevents concerning the fraternalactivities.

Brother H. G. Morrow of Che-boyegan, Mich., was a recentwelcome visitor at the house. Heis a graduate of the Class of1930. During his stay in the cityhe attended the State Osteo-pathic Convention. Brother Bel-don, '32, also visited the housewhile he was present in the cityfor the convention. We certainlyappreciate those alumni who donot forget that they belonged toa fraternity as soon as they leaveschool.

Due to the fact that this isthe last edition of the Log Bookbefore the close of school we wishto take this opportunity to bidthose of us who are graduatingthis year, namely Brothers Her-bert, Herd, Lyle, and Hall, afarewell but never a goodbye.We wish these men to feel thatnow that their school life isabout to close, their fraternallife must continue regardless ofthe fact that they will no longerbe active members, but alumni.A good alumni is as important toa fraternity as a good activebody. It is too bad that so manyof our alumni fail to realizethis fact. However, we feel surethat these men will ever live upto those standards required ofgood ITS, whether they be activeor alumni, and remember thatthey belong to the one and only-Iota Tau Sigma!

Thanks!

On behalf of the student bodyof Des Moines Still College theeditor wishes to extend to theofficers and members of theIowa Osteopathic Associationsincere thanks and appreciationfor the privilege of attendingthe recent state convention pro-gram sessions as guests free ofcharge.

Such programs mean much tothe students, not only because ofthe educational feature, but be-cause it gives him a chance tomeet a great many men from thefield, it serves to awaken his in-terest in organization affairsand more firmly than ever makesfast his faith and interest in thescience of Osteopathy.

Many thanks I. O. A., we shalleagerly anticipate your meetingnext year-(J. R. F.)

Your Last Chance

Very soon another opportun-ity will have passed your doorand you with your back turned.The last of this month and thefirst week of next will be filledwith graduation exercises ofHigh Schools all over our coun-try. We wonder how many of youstarted two or three months agoto make the contact that youpromised yourself you wouldmake? How many of you havesecured lists of interested stu-dents who might take up thestudy of Osteopathy? What isthere in the field of professionalwork tffat- offers these fine boysand girls more than your pro-fession?

You have all the talkingpoints and it is merely a matterof taking a little time out andmeeting these young men andwomen who are really anxiousfor your information. We are in-terested in several state projectsthat have been initiated this yearand will look forward to newstudents from these fields. Isyour association dormant on thissubject? If so, you should feelashamed for unless you increasein numbers you will never in-crease in strength. If you arenot adding new life to your stateassociation the trouble is notwith Osteopathy but with you asan individual.-(H. V. H.)

Osteopathy andX-Radiance

(Continued from Page 1)history does not reveal the un-derlying pathology. This is es-pecially true in metastatic car-cinoma and primary sarcoma ofthe pelvis or spine. Also, to alesser degree, the cases of ab-normalities of development ofthe spine which may not havesymptoms until some minor in-jury produces marked pain anddisability.

Metastatic CarcinomaPatient, male, age 52, single.

Cattle man accustomed to ridinghorseback. History of pain thrugroin with marked pain on anyattempt to ride in a saddle. Tu-berculosis in the family. Pictureat that time showed complete de-struction of one ramus of thepubis. Diagnosed as metastaticcarcinoma but the original siteof carcinoma could not be foundand our diagnosis was disputed.No treatment was given. Eightmonths later the patient return-ed to us for relief of agonizingpain through the lumbar spineand pelvis. Picture at this timeshowed a complete destructionof the left ileum and the bodyof the third lumbar vertebra anda definite carcinoma of the sig-moid.

SarcomaWoman, age 45, history of

fall with bruise to the right hipfollowed by slight pain for oneweek with gradual increase insymptoms for two weeks whenpictures were taken and showedsome decalcification of the iliumat a point of muscle attachment.Diagnosis of tendon pull and in-flammation with decalcification,which usually follows such in-juries. The patient was not seenagain for eight months. Her painhad continued almost constantlywith a sensation at times asthough the parts of the hip orilium were tearing loose. Herdoctor informed her that thiswas all in her head and treat-ment was directed along thatline with salycilates for herrheumatism, as he called it. An-other physician had said neuri-tis. X-Ray picture at this timeshowed over half of the rightilium destroyed by Sarcoma. Thepatient had actually felt themuscles pulling loose from theirattachments as she had describ-ed.

Tuberculosis of the SpineToo frequently we have pa-

tients come to the X-Ray labora-tory with a marked hump in thespine who give no history of tu-berculosis of the lung or vis-cera; but a history of pain inthe spine and have taken adjust-ments (not Osteopathic) to re-lieve the pain and straighten thespine. One such case grew rapid-ly worse. Adjustments weremade above and below the pointof lesion. This caused more pain.Soon another physician was con-sulted. His diagnosis was cysticoyary, chronic appendicitis andretroversion. He recommendedimmediate operation. This diag-

nosis did not satisfy the patientso an Osteopathic physician wasconsulted. He ordered X-Raypictures of the spine and lung.X-Ray diagnosis was old healedtuberculosis of the lung, three-fourths of one lumbar vertebraedestroyed by tuberculosis with adefinite active process present.Abnormalities of Development

Frequently following injury apatient complains of pain in thatarea which, in his mind, is a re-sult of the present injury; but,on X-Ray examination we find alarge variety of abnormalities ofdevelopment which produce acongenital weakness at the pointWhy they have not caused symp-toms before is a problem. Along list of abnormalities couldbe listed under this heading,however, we will consider fourcases.

Laboring man, age 57, accus-tomed to heavy work. History ofslight injury by wrench of lum-bar area. Picture shows abnorm-ally long transverse processes ofthe 5th lumbar vertebrae whichwere ankylosed to the iliumwith fracture of the transverseprocess of the left side.

My instructions to the X-Rayclasses is "always get a picturewhen the patient complains ofmore pain after treatments ordoes not show improvement."

In conclusion let me remindyou of a most important and fre-quently overlooked cause of dis-ability. Focal infection withpains through the spine or pel-vis with disability. Numerouscases following injuries of vary-ing intensity on X-Ray examina-tion of the spine and pelvis showno pathology, but X-Ray of theteeth with removal of the focalinfection puts the patient backto work.

Man, age 51, history of fallingfrom freight car, landing withlumbar spine across the rail.Pictures at that time show nofracture. Bedfast three weeks,all types of heat, diathermia,mechanical therapy, medical andOsteopathic treatment for twoyears. X-Ray of the spine at thistime shows no evidence of frac-ture, displacement or arthritis.X-Ray of the teeth showed sixabscessed with marked absorp-tion of the alveolar processes.All of the teeth were removed.The man returned to work in twomonths. The insurance companywas delighted to pay for the X-Ray of the teeth.

This should be the first con-sideration in all severe fractures.Remove all foci of infection ifyou expect the best results.

Osteopathy at the Relays

(Continued from Page 1)and several additional who werenot aware of the service offeredby the college.

W. E. Rees was appointed totake care of Notre Dame and re-ports that the entire team want-ed Osteopathy and the coach,John P. Nicholson, asked for ourservice again next year. Reesalso took care of members of theteam of Abilene Christian Col-

lege of Abilene, Texas, and someof the boys from WashingtonState, where our old friend BillBohm is doing some good workfor Osteopathy.

Marquette came down with arelay team and Ralph Metcalf ofinternational fame. These boyswere on the list and Mike SanFelippo was assigned to them.Mike is a former classmate ofMetcalf and spent the greaterpart of his spare time with him.Contrary to a newspaper report,Metcalf's injury was not seriousand he was made sufficientlycomfortable by the treatment sothat he won the 100 in 9:7against a five and one-half milewind and came thru as anchorman in the 440 relay, winningeasily. He was seen a short timebefore he left for home and saidhe felt OK in every way. Othermembers of the team expressedtheir appreciation of the workdon by SanFelippo

Wayland took care of the teamfrom U. of S. Dakota and reportsthat they all asked for this ser-vice next year.

Perdue was assigned to Hast-ings College and also took careof boys from Ohio State. He re-ports the same as others, thatall of the boys feel that Osteo-pathy is essential to their wel-fare and they want to be assur-ed of Osteopathic care next year.

Coach Phillips of Butler turn-ed his team over to Cal Hauptwho took them thru all the pacesof an experienced trainer. Tookcharge of their diet and rest per-iods and treated them when nec-essary. Haupt reports that thecoach was highly pleased withthe work.

Cruser started out with acouple of High School teams un-der each arm but ended withthe boys from the U. of Missouriand part of the group from Abi-lene, Texas. Cruser also workedon several men from OklahomaBaptist U. and their coach, Mr.V. C. Hurt, has asked for thisservice in the future.

Oklahoma A. & M-. W-- d i-signed to Benny Devine, whowas given full charge of the boysby their coach, R. W. Kenny.Benny reports that he workedand got results. The boys andthe coach expressed their appre-ciation and want him again nextyear.

Reports are not in from sev-eral other schools and collegestaken care of, but it is the samestory over and over. The major-ity of our coaches over thecountry know Osteopathy andthe good work we can do if giv-en an opportunity to care forthe boys. The Drake Relays of-fer the students of Still Collegejust another opportunity to provethe value of Osteopathy by ac-tual contact and not by theory.

It is a great privilege to meetthese coaches and their boys andwe will be on the job again nextyear to do our part. We wish tothank the officials of the DrakeRelays for :their co-operationalso.'-(H.- V.- H.)

THE LOG BOOK

3 ( . A. Tlu1tttinFROM THE NEW PRESIDENT

What greater success couldbe requested of the National So-ciety than was realized by theIowa Osteopathic Society thisyear? Three distinguished exec-utives graced one day's pro-gram, Dr. Perrin T. Wilson,Pres. A. O. A., Dr. Russell C.McCaughan, Executive Secretaryof A. O. A., and Dr. John E.Rogers, Oshkosh, Wisc., Inspec-tor of 'Colleges for A. O. A.Their every contribution wasmost inspirational, and we thankthem. That the Technique Teamof the Chicago College was ap-preciated was attested to by thefact that more than 250 Doctorswere gathered about their fivetables where the most valuabledevelopments in technique weretaught (that is more than twicethe usual attendance.) The IowaSociety wishes the Chicago Col-lege to know that its membersappreciate these men being re-leased from their regular dutiesthat they might receive theirvaluable developments.

To the retiring President, Dr.A. W. Clow, Washington, Iowa,I wish to express the joy it hasbeen to have been associatedwith him for the past year in theaffairs of I. O. A. To our ableSecretary, Dr. Paul O. French,Cedar Rapids, Iowa, may I con-vey the great satisfaction itgives me to have him serve thisofficial capacity again. Fewreally know the loyal sacrificesthis man has made for us! Tothe great numbers who attendedour programs, I wish to tellthem that it gave the ProgramCommittee very great satisfac-tion for such endorsement of theefforts involved, and to the ho-tel management belongs ourloyal patronage for the splendidservice rendered this, the largestState Convention of the IowaOsteopathic Association.

It is hoped that the spirit-ll�--afaLst -atthis convention willcontinue to romp about ourmembership during the entirecoming year and that every com-mittee will feel as the AttorneyGeneral so properly stated it-that their committee is the mostimportant committee of the en-tire organization. Already onecommittee has devised ways andmeans of carrying on their af-fairs quite as Governor Herringcited in his reference to the Spe-cial 'Session-with a huge sav-ings. Power to them; we mustall expect to use more man pow-er when dollars are scarce. WHOHAS YET WORKED TOO HARDFOR OSTEOPATHY? It is yourbasic investment! Protect it!!

The smooth success of the con-vention was due in no small partto the untiring efforts of Dr.Harry J. Marshall, chairman oflocal arrangements, to Dr. EarlH. Phillips, of Garner, chair-man of exhibits, to Dr. D. E.Hannan, toastmaster, and toMrs. Sterratt, who so ably as-

sists our muchly burdened Sec-retary.

At the business session Dr.F. A. Gordon, Marshalltown,was elected president; Dr. LauraMiller, Adel, vice president; andDr. Paul O. French, Cedar Rap-ids, secretary-treasurer.

As for the stewardship youhave placed with me, I am grate-ful for the honor, and trust thatthe year may close with your ap-proval enhanced. Your construc-tive criticism is invited at alltimes. Come on-let's go places!

Dr. F. A. Gordon, D. O.President I. O. A.,

Osteopathy and theLaboratory

(Continued from Page 1)in exudates and sputum; Analy-sis of stomach contents; Exam-ination of feces for blood, para-sites and ova; Cerebro-spinalfluid examination; Blood group-ing and matching.

In the treatment of disease athorough knowledge, not onlyof the exact treatment to ad-minister, but of the exact anddefinite diagnosis of the casemust be had. This exact diagno-sis is better reached by the aidof the laboratories. It is the pur-pose of laboratory findings tocorrelate with the physical find-ings of the patient; in otherwords, the laboratory record isused as a further means ofreaching a final and correct diag-nosis.

In disease there is present inthe circulating blood, in the ur-ine, in the sputum and in otherfluids, exudates and secretions,large quantities of bacterialpoisons or toxins and by-prod-ucts of destruction of the body'sown tissues as a result of com-bating the pathology. These, aswaste products or as active sub-stances, can be detected andstudied by laboratory means, giv-ing us evidence of the nature andextent of the condition. Supposea patient has been given a phy-sical examination and thoughtto have a gastric disturbance;we shall go to the laboratoryand see what it reveals:- Theexamination of gastric contentsgives information on the empty-ing time of the stomach, its se-cretions and digestive capacity;Gastric retention, if present, isdemonstrated; Fermentation isshown by the characteristicodor; Malignant ulceration im-parts an odor of decayed fleshto the gastric contents; Markedhyperacidity is shown by chem-ical tests for total acidity, freehydrochloric acid and combinedhydrochloric acid; Lactic acid,an organic acid, is shown to bepresent on retention of stomachcontents.

After thorough laboratory ex-amination of the stomach, sup-pose we find the picture to be asfollows: Free hydorchloricacid decreased, lactic acid pres-ent, pepsin and rennin in largeamounts, mucous present in largeamounts, and a few small frag-

ments of mucous membranesfound to be present. On chem-ical examination of the feces wefind traces of blood present.From these laboratory findings,coped with the physical findings,we can draw our conclusionsthat the diagnosis is ChronicGastritis.

From the above elicitations ofthe different laboratory testscoupled with the physical find-ings we can accurately and in-telligently direct our Osteopath-ic treatment to the best advant-age to the patient and satisfac-tion to ourselves.

The laboratory not only helpsus to diagnose the case and di-rect our treatment, but it af-fords the means of following upthe case to determine the degreeto which the patient is respond-ing to Osteopathic care.

In the above mentioned casewe can obtain another gastricspecimen in a few weeks andnote the improvement by similarlaboratory tests. These tests canbe repeated as often as deemednecessary. By running a series oftests at intervals the patient'scondition is always known tothe doctor. The practicing phy-sician finds it to his advantageto keep a close check on his pa-tients. This can be done by theaid of clinical laboratory.

To summarize: the use of thelaboratory enables the physicianto arrive at an exact and definitediagnosis, direct him in thecourse of treatment, keep himinformed as to the progress ofthe patient and enable him toadvise the patient from a sci-entific standpoint how to main-tain and enjoy good health.

Osteopathy and Careof the Feet

By C. IRA GORDON, B.A., D.O.

Although Dr. C. I. Gordon is oneof the city's general practitionershe manages to devote some of histime to the college. Dr. Gordon isanother who exemplifies the spiritof ever willing helpfulness to thestudents which exists so abund-antly in the faculty of this col-lege. Lower and upper classmenalike find him a faithful friendand adviser.

Dr. Gordon was graduated fromEllsworth College with a B.A. de-gree following which he tookspecial work in science at theUniversity of Iowa. He dividedeleven years teaching and schooladministration work between theHigh Schools of Corning andGrundy Center, Iowa.

Upon his matriculation in D. M.S. C. O. he was appointed profes-sor of Physiological Chemistryand placed in charge of the Path-ology and Physiology Laborator-ies. He was graduated in the Classof 1931 and entered practice inthis city. He has retained the po-sitions of Prof. of Phys. Chemistryand Director of Path. Labs. and

Director of the Foot Clinic, a fieldin which he is doing much special-ization.-(Editor.)

It is impossible to discuss allphases of the care of the feetbut I would like to call attentionto the importance of foot care,foot mechanics and proper shoes.

Foot care is important becausean individual carries his bodyweight upon the feet and if thereis the slightest defect he sufferswhile walking, standing and evensitting. This importance is bestexpressed by Dr. J. M. Hiss inhis book "New Feet for Old,"where he says, "As the fourbones of the instep arch spreadapart and the foot twists out-ward under the body load, thecentral line of weight-bearingdown through the legs shiftswith it, indicating a false strain-and ,thus soreness and stiff-ness- in- the muscles of the leg,thigh and hip.

Osteopathy andProctology

By J. L. SCHWARTZ, D. O.

Dr. J. L. Schwartz is a graduateof the American School of Osteo-pathy in the Class of January, '19.Following graduation he came toDes Moines, where he took PostGraduate work at D. M. S. C. O.and established his practice.

Dr. Schwartz joined the facultyfive years ago and teaches hisspecialty-Proctology. His courseis a thorough and valuable oneand is highly esteemed by all stu-dents.

He has been associated with theTaylor Clinic since coming to DesMoines and is house physician, as-sistant surgeon, and chief proctol-ogist to Des Moines General Hos-pital. He also has charge of onedivision of the Hospital's summertonsil clinic.

In preparing himself for hisspecialty Dr. Schwartz spent sev-eral months in the Dr. BlanchardRectal Clinic, Springfield, Ohio.Following this he spent six monthsin Europe, attending Proctolog-ical Clinics extensively in Berlinand Vienna.

Dr. Schwartz is a member ofSJiga.. Sig-m a .P.hi and,. the -Atl.aClub Fraternities. -(Editor.)

Proctology is that division ofthe healing art pertaining todiseases of the Rectum. While.theoretically, any pathologicalcondition of the Rectum comeswithin the field of the proctol-ogist, those most commonly metin practice are Hemorrhoids andFistula. Perhaps one should alsoadd such conditions as Prolapseand local inflammations Prur-itis, Rectitis, etc. but these lat-ter are usually secondary in na-ture and thus not as a rule con-fined to proctological practice.

In Still College every effort ismade to present a thorough andcomplete course in Proctology.Aside from the classroom workDr. L. L. Facto conducts a Proc-tological Clinic each Tuesday p.m. during the school year. Whilethe school clinic confines itselfto ambulatory methods the hos-pital embraces all necessarymethods of procedure.

Senior Day

As is customary each year thegraduating class is host to thestudent body at the most eagerlyanticipated convocation of theyear. The Class of '34 did notdisappoint us and presented oneof the finest programs ever.

The stage was vacant exceptfor a radio, through which camethe voice of the announcer ofStation S' C 0. ' This~ broaddcastthe first portion of the program,proved to be not only interestingbut enlightening as to many ofthe here-to-fore intimate detailsin the lives of many of the Sen-iors and some of the Facultymembers. The low-down beingthus purveyed by one so com-pletely protected by space fromthe ire of those whose said low-down was thus being purveyed,the broadcast went on unmo-lested.

Next came the class presenta-tion. J. W. Halladay, Pesidentof the Class of '34, presented tothe College a beautiful cameraportrait of Dr. Robert B. Bach-man, to be hung in the fifth floorauditorium. This picture was ac-cepted on behalf of the Collegeby President C. W. Johnson.This class thus leaves with us amost worth while and appreci-ated gift.

The Class of '34

Twenty-six young men andwomen have realized that forwhich they have been strivingfor many years the degreeof Doctor of Osteopathy. Someare now taking up internshipsand others are preparing tostrike out into practice. Know-ing this class quite well it is safeto predict that full measure ofsuccess will be enjoyed by itsmembers.

Throughout the four years atD. M. S. C. O. the Class of '34has been outstanding. It furnish-ed a lion's share of officers forthe various social and honoraryfraternities; it furnished the col-lege with a number of laboratoryand clinic assistants; and 69%of its members received one ormore special awards for meritor-ious service or extraordinary ac-complishment!

A former editor of the LogBook, F. J. McAllister, graduatedwith this class. Mac took up thepen which this editor was forced,by the perversities of Fate, todrop back in 1932.

One glaring fault or, let ussay, unavoidable weakness ofthis class, a weakness commonto most graduating classes in thepast several years, is the far toosmall number of feminine mem-bers. Only two co-eds are foundin the class roster and thereshould be at least five times thatnumber. Osteopathy today offersthe sincere and ambitious youngwoman far more than any otherprofession or vocation availableto her. There is a crying needfor women physicians in our sci-ence and it is to be hoped thateach year will see more andmore co-eds in our colleges.

To the Class of '34 we say:"Do not forget us; we are alwaysinterested in you and your ac-complishments. Let each of youstrive to send your Alma Materat least one student each fall.May success, health and happi-ness be yours abundantly."-(J. R. F.)

Still Alumni!

Lord Moynihan, prominentBritish surgeon, points out thatalthough the death rate fromcancer has increased twenty percent in the last 20 years, Brit-ain's average death rate has de-creased about thirty per cent.

Osteopathy and Careof the Feet

(Continued from Page 1)nosed as 'Rheumatism,' a termthat has lost all meaning in thelight of modern knowledge.Even so, we moderns are proneto attribute stiff and painfulknee and ankle joints to 'Arth-ritis'. In 95 percent of suchcases one would be as far fromthe truth as the other. The dis-turbance in the central linedown through the legs causesnot only strain on the musclesof the leg, thigh and hip but al-so an unequal pull on the liga-ments of the knee and anklejoints, giving an uncomfortabledragging sensation. As a matterof fact, pain occurs regularly inthe ankle and knee in more thanhalf the foot troubles we set.That they have nothing to dowith arthritis and everything todo with misplaced bones in thefeet is proven by the fact thatfoot correction promptly dis-poses of them.

"I place a certain emphasis onthese points for the benefit ofthose many supposed lifelongvictims of arthritis in the lowerextremities who, for the mostpart, have nothing of the sort;and who, without enlightenmentto the source of their trouble,may fall victims of the craze forsacrificing teeth, tonsils, gall-bladder and any other remov-able portion of their anatomy onthe altar of 'focal infection.'What these 'arthritis' victimssuffer from in many cases is no-thing more than a disturbancein the weight-bearing mechan-ism of the feet."

By foot mechanics we meanthe perfect alinement of thefoot so that the weight of thebody is carried with poise andbalance. The normal mechanicsof the foot consists of the tarsaland meta-tarsal bones so ar-ranged as to form the longitu-dinal and transverse arches. Theefficiency of these arches is de-termined by the correct placingof each of the small parts andthen maintaining these parts intheir proper relationship by themuscles and tendons. Each partarticulates with its neighbor insuch a manner as to give thestrongest support. But supposeone of these small parts changesits relationship with its neigh-bor - what happens? Unduestress, strain and unbalance withinability to properly and com-fortably carry the load. It maybe called "fallen arches", "bun-ions" or what-have-you but thefact remains that it is an upsetin the normal mechanics of thefoot.

Some of the causes of such anupset are (1) Ill-made and ill-fitted shoes, (2) Trauma, (3)Lifting or carrying load in ab-normal positions, (4) Lesions inthe spine or hips, etc.

The treatment consists ofthree things: First, and fore-most, is Osteopathic manipula-lation. The gross amount oftrouble is nothing but osteopath-

ic lesions; correct them and yourfoot will improve. A case historywill illustrate: Female, overweight, suffered intense pain inknee, tenseness and rigidity ofcalf muscles, had been diagnos-ed as arthritis; examinationshowed marked lesions betweenthe Os Calcis and Astragaluswith entire foot thrown out ofbalance; correction of lesionsbrought immediate relief.

The second consideration intreatment is given to shoes. Inrecommending shoes there areseveral things to bear in mind-many shoes are, made to sell butfew are made to fit and wear.The proper shoe will be of theright width, correct length fromheel to ball, the insole perfectlylevel from side to side and withthe general contour of the shoeadapted to the contour of thegiven foot.

The third consideration is theexercise of the feet. This mustbe prescribed on the basis o;fthe needs of the individual case.

Osteopathy andProctology

(Continued from Page 1)the most common of Rectal path-ology. The ambulatory methodof treatment is by infiltration ofthe part hypodermically. Thenumber of treatments dependsupon the case, the number of in-jections given at each sessionand the type of solution used. Asa rule two regions are infiltratedat each visit and five or sixtreatments usually suffice. Thepatient returns for check-up ina month or six weeks. Othercases are treated surgically, theoperation consisting of completeremoval of the hemorrhoidaltissue. Palliative treatment, suchas astringent ointments, etc.,are valuable only for the tem-porary relief they afford and arenot curative.

A Fistula is a narrow canal,which may or may not have anopening in the skin or mucousmembrane of the Rectum, re-sulting usually from an imper-fectly drained abscess. It maybe confined to the Rectum or itmay communicate with the Ure-thra (Recto-Urethral) or theVagina, (Rectal-Vaginal). Manyfistulas are successfully treatedby the ambulatory method, in-jection, similar to hemorrhoids.Scarification of the walls of thecanal by diathermic electrode isused. However, many cases mustbe treated surgically before per-manent relief is obtained.'

Prolapse is an invagination ofthe Rectal mucosa. It occurs us-ually in infancy and old age andhas many etiological factors.The treatment varies with thecase: oil and astringent enemata,control of excessive strain, etc.,and manual replacement are in-cluded in the palliative treat-ment. In children improvementin muscle tone usually causesthe prolapse to disappear. Sur-gery is often necessary in olderpersons when the symptoms aresuch as to make it imperative.

Local irritations and inflam-

mations are treated symptomat-ically.

One of the greatest aids tosatisfactory proctology is osteo-pathic treatment and for thisreason osteopathic. physiciansare outstandingly successfulproctologists.

It is impossible in this articleto discuss proctology more thansuperficially-there is far moreto it than herein described.However it is a branch of prac-tice worth the consideration ofthe osteopathic physician.

ICircuit of Districts,

June 25 to 30

Approval for the membershipproject has now been receivedform all District Presidents, andthe first circuit program will belaunched during the last week ofJune. Specific Technique, asdemonstrated by the ChicagoTechnique Team at our recentstate convention, attracted suchexcellent attendance that manywere scarcely able to witnesswhat they came to get. It hasbeen therefore deemed advisableto provide a better opportunityfor personal instruction of thisvaluable work. This and theother programs of the circuitplan will be absolutely FREE toall who have paid their state anddistrict -dues. At present theplan includes this June circuitand the regular October meet-ing, and another, which will bemutually agreed upon by theState and allied districts, andwill occur later during the year.Who can afford to miss any ofthese most valuable meetings?

While you are receiving theinspiration, and the values ofthese meetings you are also help-ing to enlarge our Iowa group,and thus make possible theachievements you all wish thestate to accomplish. Plan nowto attend all of these meetings.From the spirit manifest by thevarious committees we are surelydue for definite Osteopathic ac-complishments in Iowa this year.

This first Circuit Program willroute Dr. Stinson, and your Pries-ident through the six districtsfor meetings that will last from1:30 to 10:00 p. m., as follows:

1st District Cedar Rapids-June 25.

6th District Ames-June 26,Memorial Coliesum.

4th District Clear Lake-June 27.

5th District-Storm Lake-June 28.

2nd District-Red Oak June92.

3rd District-Ottumwa-June30.

It is the present intention forthis columnto contain interest-ing developments of our societyas the various committees reportthem. The following committeereport should relay the immensevalue of County Organization.This report is submitted by Dr.Laura E. 'Miller of Adel,' vicepresident of your Society andchairman of committee on Indus-trial and Institutional Service,and Federal Relief.

County Indigents."The matter of compensation

for county indigents was discuss-ed at our regular meeting, and acommittee was appointed to waitupon our supervisors. We hadquite some difficulty in obtainingthis conference, but the day cameand there ensued c6nsiderabledis 9 ussipn as to the 'type' ofcases which Osteopathy handles.This barrier was broken only to

learn the real issue. The CountyTax League was bearing down onthe supervisors. When this com-mittee produced evidence thatthe cost of Indigent care wouldbe reduced if competitive bidswere received, it was then de-cided to have the Tax Leagueput the question of Osteopathiccare to a vote. Publicity rela-tive to this victorious ballot re-sulted in Osteopathy receivingconsiderable discussion over thecounty. Now that equality hasbeen established, the cleverlyworded contracts which previ-ously eliminated care by anOsteopathic Physician are nolonger required to receive feesfor our services. Our committeeand the supervisors agreed thatfrom and after that date, any in-digent applying to us for servicescould be handled by us upon re-ceiving authorization that thecase was an indigent. Thus mak-ing fee basis equal to all, andfurther granting likewise thatany emergency treatment couldbe given without contacting thesupervisors."

Thus achievement of organi-zation for mutual benefit. Thiscan, and should be accomplishedin every county. Your by-lawsprovide for sub-divisional soci-eties where five or more so elect.How about your county? Wouldyou believe that such organiza-tion has resulted in the memberstaking a lump contract which hasbeen ample to cover the cost ofCounty, District, State,and Na-tional dues, and there were yetsufficient funds to secure pro-fessional insurance for all itsmembers? Suppose we get to-gether? Dr. IMiller will gladlyconfer with any county groupwho wish further assitance inthis matter.

The Efficiency of Oste-opathy

(May 18th, Dr. H. V. Halladayreceived a telegram from theDean of Women at the Universityof Arizona stating that his daugh-ter, Frances, was very ill. Dr. C.E. Towne took care of her andbrought her thru a case of Para-Typhoid so successfully that shewas normal ten days after the on-set. We asked Dr. Towne to tellus about the case and make somecomparisons with others that wereaffected at the same time. His re-port is well worth your time.-Editor.)

On Saturday, May 12th, sixgirls, members of the Delta ZetaSorority at the University of Ari-zona, were taken sick. The symp-toms varied some but each hada temperature and high pulserate. There was some diarrhea,some nausea and other indica-tions of either an infection or aserious type of food poisoning.The following Monday four morewere taken sick. These caseswere all sent to a local hospital,to the college infirmary or takenhome. No definite diagnosis wasmade. Temperatures varied from100 to 105 with correspondinghigh pulsie rates.

On Wednesday Frances Halla-day was running a temperaturebut refused to give up until thefollowing day when she cameinto my office and I ordered herback to the sorority house andlater transferred her to a nurs-ing home. The reason for thiswas that she refused to go whereshe would have to take the regu-lar routine treatment and in-sisted on nothing else but Oste-opathy. Thursday night she hada temperature of 104.2 and apulse of 138. Her recovery wasuneventful, the temperature andpulse coming down gradually sothat in eight days after her ad-mittance into the nursing homeshe was again normal. Duringthis time she had from one tothree treatments each day and aspecial nurse to attend to herdiet and to see that she was elim-inating the poison 24 hours aday.

Laboratory tests confirmed thediagnosis of Para-Typhoid B. andin less than two weeks after theonset she had the two negativetests necessary for her discharge.It was her first serious illness ofany kind. She has never beenvaccinated nor has had anyserum injections of any kind.

Investigations proved that theHouse Mother was the carrierand that the girls got the infec-tion through some food preparedby her and served the day beforethe first group became ill. Ofthe fourteen affected, Franceswas one of the last to give in tothe infection.. She was the firstto recover and is now at home inDes Moines while some of theother girls are' still in the hos-pital or infirmary here in 'Tuc-son. (June 5th.)

It has been impossible to getaccurate reports'' of the othersbut we know of one girl who,having started,: with the infec-tion May 12th,,is still under thecare of a physician on May3 31st.Another is reported to be still

It has 'been highly gratifyingto be able to prove the valueof Osteopathy in such cases.The board of health stillinsists that Frances' case was ex-tremely light accounting for thebrevity of it and the early nega-tive reports. We believe thatthe Osteopathic treatment had agreat deal to do toward incitinga more rapid response to the in-vasion of the Para-typhoid andwe know that her recovery wasnot delayed by the administra-tion of additional poisons intoher body. It was a real pleasureto sees her response to good oldfashioned Osteopathic treatment.

Noeler's full name and middleinitial contains 13 letters whichis another 13 for him.

The Noelers have nine child-ren living. The latest one hasbeen named June Arlene.

Dr. E. W. KapferSets Record

A record of accomplishment ofwhich he may well be proud hasbeen set by a Still alumnus, Ed-gar W. Kapfer, '29. Since locat-ing in Burrton, Kansas, on June30, 1930, Dr. Kapfer has rungup the following accomplish-ments:

The Wichita ConventionWe suppose that the first

thing you told the folks whenyou got home from Wichita wasthe way, you suffered thruthe.intense heat. What kind ofweather did they have at homewhile you were away? Our guessis that in the majority of casesthere was not much difference inwhat the thermometer said. Cer-tainly it was hot but bearableand everything possible was donefor the comfort of the visitors.

We wonder if you noticed thevast amount of publicity theprofession got thru the local andstate papers. All of these publi-cations will have to be compli-mented for their generosity. Dr.Hulburt was busy all the timeand his able touch showed veryplainly in every issue of thepapers during and before themeeting.

We liked the layout at theForum very much. It gave usroom to get around and breathe,which is more than can be saidfor some of the places we havehad our annual meeting. Fromwhat we could gather the exhib-

The InterfraternityAssembly

For the past three years sev-eral members of the professionhave been working to perfect anorganization uniting our manyOsteopathic fraternities and so-rorities. The first object of thisassembly was to concentrate thework of registration at the an-nual reunion during the A. O. A.convention. The activity of theassembly was demonstrated atthe recent convention in Wichitaand its continuance assured, forall associated appreciate the ser-vices rendered. The local Wich-ita committee and the officialsof the A. O. A. co-operated inevery way possible and next yearat Cleveland we feel sure thatthe various frats and sororities,having a better understandingof the objects of the assemblywill be prepared to make thework of the assembly much eas-ier.

In the past each organizationthat planned a reunion or ban-quet had to provide a desk andsome member to attend to theselling of tickets and registra-tion of members. This was con-fusing as no definite locationwas given this group and it wasdifficult to find the organiza-tion's headquarters. This year atWichita this work was all donefor each organization by a com-mon registrar. Also, this deskwas placed at a convenient siteso that each member of the A.O. A. was compelled to pass theassembly registrar following A.O. A. and local registration. Be-fore registration was completedon Wednesday of the conventionweek thirteen different organiza-tions were represented on thecard system. Miss Frances Halla-day, acting as registrar, ablytook care of this detail.

The following organizations,each represented by an official,met on Tuesday, July 24. Aftera discussion they decided to con-tinue the work of the assemblyand elected officers.-- .t-las Club, C. R. Starks.

officers were elected for the com-ing year:

President, J. A. Cozart.1st V. Pres., H. E. Litton.2nd V. Pres., Anna Northup.Secy.-Treas., H. V. Halladay.A financial report in detail is

not available yet as three of theorganizations have not paid thepromised fee. However, there

will be a sum on hand to apply Th Medics FiledAIn hi WxnrL of UthIi dcnlhlUTe eaUOi 11; W U1AV Ul Lltn CaUs slly Jnext year and the annual feewill not exceed four dollars foreach member. Only one organi-zation has sent in to the secre-tary a complete list of the grandofficers. Please do this at yourearliest convenience as the as-sembly must have these lists inorder to do the work as outlinedby the group at Wichita.

In anticipation of the work ofthe assembly at 'Cleveland wewish to continue the same man-ner of registration as was initi-ated at Wichita. This has beenpromised us by the A. O. A. Wealso want to aid in every waythe work of the local committeein making and completing plansfor the annual reunions of theorganizations that are a part ofthe assembly.

The officers feel that this or-ganization can secure properrecognition for our Osteopathicfraternities and sororities inBaird's Manual. At the presenttime they are listed mainly withirregular and unclassified fra-ternities and sororities. This willbe corrected if we can get re-plies to letters that will be writ-ten to the grand officers.

A number of other suggestionshave been made that would aida great deal in improving ourOsteopathic organizations. How-ever, the assembly feels that atpresent it does not have theauthority to issue certain ordersand will await the meeting inCleveland, at which time moreextensive plans can be made.

Some mistakes were made thisyear. They will be corrected andwill not be repeated next year.The fraternities and sororitiestaking part in the assembly wereunanimous in deciding to con-tinue as a united group. The In-terfraternity Assembly is assur-ed and will function just *as ef-ficiently as your co-operationwill permit.

BirthsBadqer

Born to Mr. and Mrs. R. J.Badger, a daughter, RobertaMarie, on July 10, at Montezu-ma. Iowa.

Mrs. Badger was formerly Dr.Mildred Trimble, '27.

1.3 degrees F. is the averagefall in body temperature be-tween 4 and 5 p. m., when bod-ily functions are most active,and 3 a. m., when they are attheir minimum. The cycle is re-versed in those who work atnight and rest in the day time.

$2,225,000,000 would not de-fray the wage loss, physician'sexpense, and overhead insurancecosts resulting from accidentsin the U. S. in one year.

(Editor's Note: The followingcase report was submitted by Dr.W. R. Finley of Meservy, Iowa,and will be, we are sure, of gen-eral interest.)

A white girl, age 27, came tome on Feb. 14, 1934, complain-ing of complete loss of sensationand movement of the left arm.No pain and otherwise in goodhealth.

History: On Feb. 1st she com-plained of headache. The familydoctor, an M. D., was called andadministered four tablets andleft. In about 15 minutes she be-came stuporous, fell onto thebed face down with both armsunder the abdomen. She slept inthis position all night and couldnot rise in the morning. Hermother aided her up but she im-mediately returned to bed, asshe was dizzy and had lost theuse of both arms. At noon shearose and sat in a chair. The fol-lowing morning she had regain-ed use of the right arm but theleft refused to move and wascold. This was her conditionwhen I first saw her about twoweeks later. Over a period ofseven months she had had en-cephalitis, chicken pox, and amild attack of flu, followed byan anemic condition which wastreated at a nearby hospital.

Examination: Weight 100 lbs.Teeth good; tonsils removed;blood pressure 100/50; hemo-globin (Adams Scale) 50%. Pa-tient appeared very weak andmoved with apparent effort. Up-per dorsal region flat and mus-cles very rigid; cervical arearigid with lesions of first andthird to the right; first rib onleft was very tender; and aslight sacro iliac twist. The leftarm hung limply and could notbe moved voluntarily; no sensa-tion in the arm to heat, cold orsharp instruments from the el-bow to the finger tips. Fingersdrawn up claw-like while thumbhung almost at a right angle.Arm was cold to the touch.

Diagnosis: Pressure paralysis.Treatment: First treatment

given after examination and con-sisted of loosening muscles andapplying heat from a lamp. Itreated her every other day andat the second treatment movedthe first rib and corrected thecervical area. Following thistreatment an area below the el-bow about three inches wide wassensitive to the dull and sharpinstruments and this increasedwith each treatment until follow-ing the fifth she had completeuse of the arm and hand. Be-tween treatments I had her ex-ercise the hand and arm by us-ing a soft rubber ball and, whenthe arm became tired, to placeit in a sling.

Comment: The medic who ad-ministered the four tablets and

treated her the two weeks be-fore she came to me told herthe case was hopeless and thatshe would always be paralyzedin that arm.

-W. R. Finley, D. O.,Meservy, Iowa.

As Usual

Following an old Halladaycustom the family drove out toMesa Verde after the conven-tion. Believe it or not, they re-port frost in the higher altitudesof Colorado. Virg reports thatprivacy in the park is a thing ofthe past. Dr. E. L. Davis andfamily of Macomb, Ill., and Dr.R. H. Peterson and family ofWichita Falls, Texas, were thereat the same time. No use tryingto hide from Osteopaths or Os-teopathy any more.

After a few days rest in MesaVerde the Halladays drove theMillion Dollar Hiway and Mon-arch Pass to Colorado Springs.Another custom was adhered toin the form of an Osteopathicpicnic, this time at the cabin ofDr. Fred Johnson. Together withDr. Gaddes, over 25 membersof the profession and theirfamilies gathered to test the abil-ity of Fred as a chef. Edna My-ers thumb helped to flavor thesalad. It was a most enjoyableaffair from every standpoint.

Work For YourProfession

"If you work in a profession,in heaven's name work for it. Ifyou live by a profession, live forit. Help advance your co-worker.Respect the great power thatprotects you, that surrounds youwith the advantages of organi-zation, and that makes it possi-ble for you to achieve results.Speak well of it. Stand for it.Stand for its professional su-premacy. If you muct obstructor decry those who strive tohelp, why-quit the profession!But as long as you are part of aprofession, do not belittle it. If

you do, you are loosening thetendrills that hold you to it, andwith the first high wind thatcomes along you will be uproot-ed and blown away and prob-ably you will never know why."-(Charles G. Dawes.)

Dr. Andrew Taylor Still(Reprinted from the Log Book of

Aug. 1931, by request.)

"The mass of men worry them-selves into nameless graves, whilehere and there a great unselfishsoul forgets himself into immor-tality."-Emerson.

* * *

August Sixth was the one hun-dred and sixth anniversary ofthe birth of Dr. Andrew TaylorStill, founder of the science ofOsteopathy. It is well that wepause and pay tribute to thememory of an immortal genius-this man whom Emerson's bitof philosophy so aptly fits.

Son of an itinerant preacher-physician; a youth whose strug-gles to obtain a good educationrival those of other famousAmericans; a young doctor,prompted by a family tragedy tosearch for a better means oftreating human ills than medi-cine; a man who completely sub-merged self and personal com-fort and pleasure, who bravelywithstood opposition and perse-cution that he might be of bene-fit to mankind; all these makethis man a personification of "agreat unselfish soul" who truly"forgot himself into immortal-ity."

Albert Edward Wiggam said:"Without the few geniuses whohave, by chance or the grace ofGod, discovered themselves, man-kind would have no history wor-thy of the name." To such menas the "Old Doctor," men whohave had the courage and moralstamina to face established be-liefs and battle against over-whelming odds, do we owe ouradvanced civilization. Were itnot for these souls, the humanfamily would still be mired inthe murk of the Dark Ages.

The only progress this oldworld has ever made has beenby men who have dared to standfor something that everybodyelse was not standing for; bymen who stood above and be-yond their fellows and refusedto die of dry rot in the rut laiddown for them by conventionalpeople. It has ever been, in hu-man history, that he who form-ulated some new doctrine or idearevolutionary in scope shouldsuffer persecution, ridicule, abuseand even death. The one featureredeeming society is that, pro-viding the new idea possessedworthiness and truth, mass in-telligence eventually caught upto that of the genius and ac-cepted his brain-child, eventhough he, himself, might havelong before passed on. We may

all be thankful that Dr. Still waspermitted to live until he sawhis discovery mark a new era inthe therapeutic world and be-come permanently enshrined inthe hearts of mankind.

The founder of Osteopathywas one of those rare mortalswho left the world a far betterplace for his having lived in it.He unselfishly and courageouslydevoted his life to the allevia-tion of human suffering; he gaveof his talents with no thought ofreturn; he strived to adhere toNature's inexorable laws. We,his followers, can do no betterthan to pause occasionally andpay personal homage to thememory of this great man andfrom that memory take inspira-tion to bring Osteopathic truthsto all mankind. Doing this, weknow that the name of AndrewTaylor Still, together with thenames of other great public bene-factors, will ring with ever-in-creasing resonance through thehalls of fame. -(J. R. F.)

Cosmotology Is An Ancient, Art0

"Vanity, thy name is Wo-man. Among the most lucrativefields of endeavor today arethose purveying to femininebeauty. Hundreds of factorieswork day and night to supplythe ever increasing demand forcosmetics; the radio, magazinesand all other advertising agen-cies constantly shout the meritsof variaus brands of "poudres,""odeurs," all-purpose creams,etc.; countless schools of beautyculture all over the land withlarge student bodies; and beautyparlors as numerous as fillingstations. What a tremendouslystaggering sum must be femi-nine America's annual beautybill! Yet milady's search for ar-tificial beauty is an old one.

The women of Athens, in theGolden Age of Greece, were ap-parently the first to use sun-light as a beauty aid. Aspasia,mistress of Athens' most spark-ling salon in the days whenGreek culture was at its height,laid great stress upon the valueof sunlight in maintaining prop-er complexion and skin condi-tions. It is not recorded whether"sun tan" was held in esteem bythe Grecian maids or Old Solwas merely an aid in keepingthe skin free of blemishes.

The ancients of many landshad a surprisingly completeknowledge of cosmetics andmany of their formulae havebeen little changed through theages. For instance, Galen, thegreat Roman physician, used the

following cold cream formulawhich has been slightly modifiedin twenty centuries: "Whitewax, 4 oz.; oil of roses ompha-cine, 1 lb.; melt in a doublevessel, then pour into another,putting in cold water by degreesand often pouring it out of onevessel into another, stirring un-til it be white; last, wash it inrose-water, adding a little rosevinegar."

Chas. Lerner, a New York der-matologist, says: "During thereign of the fascinating Cleopat-ra the use of cosmetics probablyreached its peak. Authoritativereports give it that Cleo usedblack and green eyebrow paintand carried abroad a rouge withwhich she generously dabbedher cheeks as soon as the dusthad taken away the first bloomof her morning beautifying art."

Coiffure also was deemed im-portant by the Greeks and Ro-mans. Henna, still used, was afavorite hair dye. For a blondtint Roman women sent for"herbs of Germany"; and acaustic soap imported from theTeutons was said to impart redlocks to she who laved her tress-es with it. Those who manufac-tured hair dyes and dressingswent to such extremes in theuse of harmful ingredients thatthe leaders deemed it expedientto take steps tn protect the wo-men. Ovid commanded: "I tellyou cease drugging your hair."Pliny warned women using Mer-cury dyes to hold oil in themouth as a prophylactic againsta condition that was presumablymercurial stomatitis.

Facial packs were common tothe Roman women, one madefrom large beans cooked in but-ter being a favorite.

Even during the middle ageswhen women were considered"temptations of the devil" theycontinued their use of cosmetics.The practice r e a c h e d suchheights that the English Parlia-ment during the 17th centurypassed the following law:

"That all women, whateverage, rank, profession, or degree,whether virgins, maids or wid-ows that shall from and -- atersuch an act impose upon, seduceand betray into matrimony, anyof His Majesty's subjects, by thescents, paints, cosmetics, washes,artificial teeth, false hair, Span-ish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, or bolstered hips,shall incur the penalty of law inforce against witchcraft and likemisdemeanors and that the mar-riage upon conviction shall benull and void."

This drastic ordinance appar-ently failed to wean Miss Eng-land away from her jars andbottles of prepared beauty. Thepractice has continued to thrivewithout a lapse down to the yearof Grace 1934 and all indicationsare that it will continue to do sothrough the centuries to come.

I3 (!. As. A uItItnA. 0. A. Convention

The Wichita convention of theAmerican Osteopathic Associa-tion is now history. A hot timewas had by all! Yet with thedry air, and the constant wind,the heat was really less objec-tionable than the same tempera-tures would be here in Iowa.Wichita was a wonderful host,and to the largest attendancefor several years of national con-ventions, slightly less than 1,000being registered. Especially com-fortable were all sessions heldin the air-cooled rooms of theAllis Hotel. As we were quiteunable to attend the generalsessions, and sections at theForum some two blocks away, itit impossible to state the com-fort of that place.

About the usual Iowa faceswere in evidence as are encoun-tered at other national conven-tions. The program bears evi-dence of many of our good Iowadoctors presenting papers, whichall will want to read as they ap-pear in the A. O. A. Journal.Indeed, very great praise is dueDr. Louis Logan of Dallas, forhis untiring efforts in arrangingand presenting what proved tobe a most inspirational program.

We are happy to report thatthe business sessions of yournational society were most har-monious and fruitful. The reg-ister of the House will show thatyour delegates, Dr. Golden andyours truly, were in constant at-tendance. The proceedings ofthe Legislative Council will re-veal that your chief executiveserved as recording secretary, inthe absence of Dr. Grow of In-diana, and was unanimouslyelected to fill that office for thecoming year, also to serve asthird member of the Exec. com-mittee of the Council.

Dr. George Conley, Presidentof the A. O. A., stressed the im-portance of a larger membershipfor the desired accomplishmentsof your parent society, and it ishoped that Iowa will respond tothat suggestion with at least thetwenty-five more required toseat another delegate at the 1935Cleveland convention. Who canafford to be without the splendidreprinted papers that are con-stantly appearing in the Journal?

State MembershipAs promised earlier, we are

designating the Trojan support-ers of your state efforts. Dr.S. A. Helebrandt, MembershipChairman, of Cedar Rapids, fur-nishes the following list of activemembers, as of August 1st.

The Wichita Convention

(Continued from Page 1)itors were well pleased even thothe crowd was not quite up toexpectancy. Some of the section-al work could have been ar-ranged a little better but takenas a whole everything was quiteconvenient. The ramp nearlymade old men and women out ofthe crowd but all sacro-iliac les-ions acquired by running downwere corrected at the clinic onthe first floor.

The program was well plannedand carried out. Our speakersshould have preliminary trainingin the use of the microphone assome really did better without it.Perhaps the system was nottuned to the voice and if thiswas the main trouble it can becorrected in the future. With alarge crowd listening and manycoming and going all the timeit is necessary for an amplifica-tion of some kind.

The most painful thing to usis the weak start we make atthese meetings. It seems that wecan not get to the opening meet-ing on time and with sufficientnumbers to avoid embarrassmenton the part of our officials. Theprogram chairman and those as-sociated with him are workingthruout the entire year for us.We should show our apprecia-tion by responding when thetime comes. Too many were out

Ji. _t r1 o re. ect N 1 Aoin the corrictors greeting olctfriends and looking at exhibitswhen they should have been at-tending the fine programs plan-ned for their benefit. It mightbe a better plan in the future tohave no speakers listed for Mon-day and let the crowd take thatday to shake hands and gossipand loaf with exhibitors and thenget down to the work of the con-vention the next day.

The most fortunate membersof the profession this year werethose listed as delegates. In thepast they have had to meet in arather stuffy room and withoutthe privacy needed. This yearthey were four blocks from theForum and housed in a room,cooled and air-conditioned.

We hear that the preliminarymeeting of the associated col-leges held at Kansas City was asuccess and their business wasdispised of in record time. A fewmeetings were held at Wichitato complete it.

The Nomenclature committeemet on Sunday before the con-vention and completed its work.This group is to be commendedfor the excellence of its report.Two years of intensive work withthis group has shown results thathave been tried many times inthe past twenty years. The mostgratifying fact gleaned fromthis group is that our collegesare anxious to co-operate witheach other, especially in the mat-ter of purely Osteopathic prog-ress.

We are sure that Still CollegeAlumni left the meeting withjust a little warmer feeling forthe college. Mrs. Robinson veryably handled the crowd at the

0. B. Clinic SetsNew High

Still College has long beenproud of its remarkable obstet-rical clinic. The clinic has wonnational fame and is undoubted-ly one of the greatest of its kindin this country. Since its incep-tion it has demonstrated a steadygrowth until the year endingMay, 1934, showed a record of344 cases handledlT This meansthat students of Still College hadthe opportunity of handling thislarge number of cases, a numberwhich, by the law of averages,makes it certain that all mannerof deliveries will be afforded.Students of this institution leavehaving actually carried out man-agement of every conceivabletype of obstetrical procedure.

Statistics, as Dr. C. W. John-son remarks, are usually dry butwe feel that these will be foundworth while and remarkably in-teresting. The figures are takenfor the period from June, 1933,to May, 1934, inclusive:

The Flint Hospital News

A few months ago another os-teopathic institution opened itsdaors and embarked upon whatwe are sure will be a successfulcareer of service. It is onlythrough the establishment ofsuch institutions that Osteopathycan grow as it ought, and eachnew organization within theprofession, be it hospital, schoolor what, deserves the unqualifiedsupport of all osteopathic phy-sicians.

The new Flint Hospital pub-lishes each month a little bulle-tin named "The Flint Osteo-pathic Hospital News." Thisbulletin is edited by Edward R.Smith, D. 0., founder of the hos-pital, and serves admirably itspurpose of familiarizing one withthe work and problems of thenew osteopathic institution. Weare very glad to be on the mail-ing list of this leaflet and shallcontinue to anticipate its arrivaleach month.

To Dr. Smith and his col-leagues we extend our sincerewish for the unbounded successof the Flint Osteopathic Hospital.

Health Clinic

The Iowa Osteopathic HealthClinic, operating under the aus-pices of the Iowa Society of Os-teopathic Physicians and Sur-geons, brought to a close itsthird annual clinic at the IowaState Fair. This clinic serves thefive-fold purpose of advertisingosteopathy, educating the publicas to the scope and- thoroughnessof osteopathic examination,- in-teresting prospective students,bringing the participating doc-tors closer together and, mostimportant of all, detecting manydiseases in an early stage which,if neglected, would become veryserious and perhaps cause thedeath of the patient. All of thesethings were accomplished andmake this unique institution adistinct asset to our profession.

This year the number of pa-tients was less than that in prev-ious years, due mainly to a reg-istration fee of $1.00 which keptout those merely curious. Sever-al out of state patients were in-cluded. Many of the patients hadno previous osteopathic contacts.Next year will undoubtedly seean increase in the number if thesatisfaction expressed by those

57.6% of his patients came tohim during this period havingbeen referred by other physi-cians or patients. 30.1% were re-ferred by Osteopathic Physicians;8.2% by Homeopaths; 1.4% byAllopaths; 6.1% by Optomet-rists; 7.6% by !Sanipractors;1.5% by Chiropractors; 15.8%by patients, former patients ortheir families; and 3.5% camethrough those met in a businessor social way.

This list does not include thepatients who came privatelythrough Dr. Siemens' contacts inthe Children's Clinic, or throughseeing his window sign, etc. Itwas interesting to note that 12patients came directly followingand as a result of the A. O. A.Convention in Seattle in 1931.

Space does not permit a moredetailed enumeration of themany facts given in Dr. Sie-mens' paper but it is very inter-esting to see just how a special-ist acouires his practice.

The of-ficers at .this time wish to ex-press their appreciation of theco-operation in this hurriedwork.

It is hoped that when mattersof this kind come up in the fu-ture that the response will bequicker. The new issue of Bairdswill show our Osteopathic Fra-ternities and Sororities classifiedproperly and with a text andcuts that will compare with sim-ilar organizations in our largestcolleges and universities.

(Continued from Page 1)There has been no deviationfrom our original work or plansof a year ago, although naturallymuch else of value has been un-dertaken.

When the legislative commit-tee's cousel in this calls on you,take time out to manifest yourinterest. Ask questions and fityour ability to aid in preservingand forwarding Osteopathicrights to the plans in hand. Wedo not intend to stand still, orpermit the legitimate scope ofour practice to be defined by un-friendly sources. Nothing of val-ue in this world can survive un-less those from within continueto press forward, sanely, reason-ably, and with logic.

The Speculum, Widely Used ByAncients, Was Lost For

Centuries.

It is hard to realize that therewas a time when physicians hadto make diagnosis on the basisof what they could see with thenaked eye and feel with thenaked, ungloved hand. Not onlydid they lack the facilities toopen the belly and ransack itscontents, but they could lookinto the upper end of the diges-tive-respiratory cloaca only asfar as the tonsils, and into theother body apertures not at allL

We would dread facing prac-tice without the otoscope, bron-choscope, cystoscope, larygo-scope opthalmoscope, speculum,and all other aids by which wesee through narrow passagesand around corners. Yet some ofthese are so new that there aremen now in practice who havenever learned to use them, evenby proxy.

The beginnings of the specu-lum are lost in the mists of an-tiquity. It seems certain that theCatopter, described by Hippoc-rates two and a half milleniaago, was actually an anal specu-lum. He also described "uterinetubes" which may have beenspecula or, as Hausmann thinks,cervical dilators.

About 200 A. D., Galen refer-red to an instrument which wasundoubtedly a vaginal speculum,but it could not have been newat that time because the MuseoBorbonico, in Naples, containstwo specula which are far frombeing simple, crude tubes andwhich were dug up, in 1818,from the ruins of Pompeii andare attributed to the year 79 A.D.

In the fourth century A. D.,Aesius compiled a synopsis ofmedicine as it was known andpracticed in Alexandria at thattime, and in the book on Dis-eases of Women, he spoke ofthe use of the vaginal speculumas a matter of course and des-cribed the diseases in which itsuse was indicated.

But when the decline and fallof the Roman Empire, of whichGibbin wrote so tiresomely andat such great length, came on,the speculum was, together withall the practices of scientificnature which the Greeks had de-veloped, swallowed up in themiasmatic fogs of bigotry andsuperstition which enfolded theDark Ages.

Which Is My Class

In looking over a group ofclippings and notes in an oldfile, bits I had accumulated somethree years ago when previous-ly editing the Log Book, I cameupon one clipped from a publica-tion of the Kansas State Osteo--pathic Association dated in thefall of 1931. I was struck withits intrinsic truth and howsquarely it hit the nail upon thehead. I take the liberty of re-producing it here, and feel surethat it will be found well worthwhile.

"Not long ago a prominent ed-ucator was reported as sayingthat there are just three kindsof people in the world: the fewwho make things happen, theslightly larger group who ob-serve them happening, and thegreat majority who never evenknow that they are happening!

"This grouping is very appar-ent in the workings of our soci-ety (the writer might save said"profession"-Ed.). Every or-ganization in the Osteopathicprofession has a small numberof men who make things happen;they recruit the students for ourcolleges, which instutions consti-tute the very life blood of Oste-opathy; they build, maintain andsulport our hospitals financiallyand otherwise; it is they whofight our legislative battles, keepour laws intact and as favorableto the practice of our professionas possible; they are the oneswho plan and execute.

---- About such men is a largernumber who watch them work,who find out what is going onand who may even profit materi-ally and financially by their ob-servation. Surrounding this isthe largest group, which goesabout oblivious at least to thecause of what is happening.These persons go on enjoying theprotection, prestige and benefitsaccruing from all these efforts ofothers without realizing or car-ing how it all came about.

cognized its value and translatedthe classics of Greece into theirown language, to be retranslatedinto the tongues of Spain andItaly centuries later and so re-stored to us.

While the Arabians were cus-todians of medical lore, gyne-cology languished because malephysicians were not permitted toexamine the genito-urinary or-gans of Mohammedan women.Thus, to the great Arab healers,the speculum was merely some-thing to speculate about in anacademic manner. Even Albucas-sis did little more than describesomething he had heard or readabout but never used.

The idea of such instruments,however, kept popping up fromtime to time and eventually theycommenced to come into useagain. Gordon spoke of speculain 1305; so did Reuff in 1587and he seemed to have usedsome sort of a tri-valve affair todilate the cervix. In the writingsof Ambroise Pare are figures ofspecula. Roderic a Castro, a Por-tugese, seems to have been thefirst to mention using such aninstrument, in 1628, in surgicaloperations upon the vagina.

The earliest complete volumeon diseases of women was writ-ten by Jacobus Primerose, aScot, in 1655. In it the speculumis spoken of as essential.

Imagine how we would fare ifwe had to make 'all speculumexaminations by natural day-light! It was not until 1768 thatArnaud first suggested the useof artificial light in connectionwith these very old instruments!

Martin Sims is credited withdiscovering perineal retractorsbut Ulrich, of Vienna, and Si-mon, of Rostock, had such appli-ances previously. It was Sims,however, who popularized them.In 1845 Sims was called to seea woman with a displaced uter-us, and it was on this eventfuloccasion that he made his histor-ic experiment with the bentspoon and spake the dramaticwords, "I saw as man never sawbefore!"

From these beginnings wehave progressed until today wepossess astonishingly elaborateand accurate implements forpeering into all nooks and cran-nies of the human body. Onesometimes wonders, though,whether these artificial aidsmight not have a tendency torob us, partially at least, of theacuity of our five senses?

Citrated BloodThe American Mercury for

March, 193 4, gives a resume ofthe experiments and proceduresof Professor Judin of Moscow,Russia, in using citrated bloodobtained from dead individualsfor intravenous injection intothe living. He has used themethod successfully in over threehundred cases. He has obtainedblood from individuals dead aslong as twenty-four hours andhas used for intravenous injec-tion blood almost one monthafter it was obtained. Many ofthe donors have been suicides byhanging, deaths by accident ordrowning, or heart disease. Theage makes very little difference,and arteriosclerotics are as goodsubjects as vigorous young ad-ults. The average yield is fromtwo to three pints. The blood iscitrated with 2 c.c. of 4% citrateof soda in 500 c.c. of blood. Con-trary to popular belief, blooddoes not coagulate immediatelyafter death and remains fluid forhours. The citrated blood is kept

before being used and is strain-ed through about eight plies ofgauze.

The application of this methodof obtaining blood for transfu-sions would offer much in war-fare. Aside from the useful ap-plication of the principles in-volved, however, the successful-ness of the procedure changesmany of our ideas as to whenthe body really dies, when theblood coagulates, how long theblood remains sterile in acorpse, etc.-(M.

(Continued from Page 1)July 9 to 15, 1933; most deliver-ies in one month-43 in May,1934; least deliveries in onemonth-18 in September, 1933;most girls-18 out of 26 in Feb-rutry, 1934; most boys-32 outof 43 in May, 1934.

At the present rate the clinicwill, this year, exceed this highrecord of deliveries. The train-ing in obstetrics alone makesthis college one that should re-ceive the earnest considerationof anyone contemplating thestudy of Osteopathy.

Dr. Bachman, head of the de-partment, and Dr. Shaffer, as-sistant to Dr. Bachman, deservegreat praise on the success withwhich these cases have beenhandled, some under very unfa-vorable circumstances. The rec-ord speaks for the thoroughnessof their instruction.

Dr. Claire E. Owens, '21, Ex-eter, Neb., received the Demo-cratic nomination for State Rep-resentative from Fillmore Coun-ty, Neb., in the recent PrimaryElection. Dr. Owens served inthe Legislature during the regu-lar and special sessions in 1931.The race for nomination wasvery close and Dr. Owens won bya margin of but two votes. Everywish for success in the Novem-ber Election is extended to thisprominent alumnus of D. M. S.C. 0.

It may readily be seen, how-ever, that dealing with a bodycharged with the responsibilityof governing a great nation is adifferent thing from dealingwith a state legislature repre-senting a political division of anation. The members of the pro-fession in Great Britain are tobe commended for facing thisHerculean task. One can notdoubt that victory will be theirsand that Osteopathy will receivethe recognition it has earned.

Not only because of its ex-planations of the legislative sta-tus do we enjoy reading the "Re-view", but because it keeps usin touch, so to speak, with pro-fessional affairs and progress onthe other side of the Atlantic.We shall eagerly look forward toreceiving subsequent issues ofthe "Review", and may the goodwork for Osteopathy in GreatBritain continue.

Des Moines Baseball ClubBoosts Osteopathy

We are proud to print an un-

solicited testimonial receivedfrom the Des Moines Base BallClub expressing satisfaction with

the care given the "Demons" bya senior student of Still College.Once more the superiority of os-teopathic care in athletics isclearly demonstrated.

"To Whom It May Concern:"As in the past several sea-

sons, the management of the DesMoines Base Ball Club of theWestern League made arrange-ments through Dr. H. V. Halla-day for the services Still Collegeoffers to athletic teams. Fromthe beginning of Spring Trainingthe club was in the constant at-tendance of W. C. Andreen, ablyassisted by J. C. Ennis.

"The work has been satisfac-tory from every standpoint, mem-bers of the team have availedthemselves of the treatments atevery opportunity, which bene-fited them materially.

"We feel that the expert train-ing these students of Still Col-lege receive enables them to rec-ognize injuries quicker and applythe proper treatment sooner, thusshortening the time period thata player must be out of the game.The treatments have been of es-pecial benefit to muscle injuries,yet all types of cases have beenwell taken care of, even the moreserious types of injuries that ballplayers are subjected to.

"We wish to express ourthanks for this service and willask that the College be given thesame opportunity to serve us inthe future.

"Yours very truly,"Harold Irelan,

Vice-Pres. and Genl. Mgr."Alex N. Gaston,

Manager."

ATLAS CLUBThe first month of school has

gone by and we are settled forthe year. It is with great pleas-ure that we announce the pledg-ing of the following men: MarkGerlach, Wilson Simmons, HenryLeslie, Brenton Schiffer and Rob-ert Dawe, all of Detroit, Mich.,Leigh Beamer, James Hagertyand Lawrence Ford, all of Ke-wanee, Ill., Edward Hensel, Man-istee, Mich., Arthur Haight,Highland Park, Mich., DeWittGoode, Bloomington, Iowa, andPaul O'Shana, Mason City, Iowa.We are proud of this bunch andwelcome them to our house.

We are glad to welcome intoour midst Bro. Graham Stewart,who comes to us from HyoidChapter in Chicago. Here's hop-ing you'll enjoy being with us,Stewart.

It was our very great pleasureto welcome six Atlas men whowere in Des Moines for the con-vention of the American Collegeof Osteopathic Surgeons. TheseBrothers are: Drs. W. CurtisBrigham, Los Angeles; Edw. B.Lamb, Denver; George M. Laugh-lin, Kirksville; J. P. Schwartz,Des Moines; M. S. Slaughter,Webb City, Mo.; and AntonKani, Omaha.

The chapter house has alreadybeen the scene of several enter-tainments in the form of "openhouse nights," conducted on Sat-urday nights. The semi-annualPledge Dance was held Oct. 6and was a huge success. Let ushope that the entertainment com-mittee continues to function insuch fine style.

O- ne of our brothers has de-cided to enter that state of lifewhich, we hope, will be termed"married bliss." Our congratula-tions to the bride and groom,Mr. and Mrs. Fred Green."WIGITS"-It seems as tho Bro.Porter is also pledged-to gripecontinually. Stick to your guns,Gus. * * * Several of the freshieshave already become "doctors"-Sheik Gerlach in the vicinityof Drake and Bobby Dawe when-ever he's around that certainred-head * * * Several fightersamong us have joined the Army.They'll all be Generals next week* * * Those who make beds withcracker crumbs should have tolie in them-or else * * * Wehave a "Dr. Johnson" among ourprominent seniors.

Blisters after our one and onlybasket-ball practice * * * Ket-man baked a good cake butMorehouse didn't think much ofit in his bed-how we love ourfreshmen!

IOTA TAU SIGMAWithout a doubt the highlight

of the school year was the con-vention of the American Collegeof Osteopathic Surgeons with thesubsequent banquet, which weall enjoyed, and the chance torenew acquaintanceship with at-tendent members of our fratern-ity, namely, Drs. Geo. J. Conley,H. C. Wallace, Orel F. Martin, E.G. Drew, and Heasley. The com-panionship and talks by thesemen was helpful and appreciatedto a high degree.

We take pleasure in announc-ing the pledging of George C.Boston, Davenport, Iowa; Wil-liam L. Daniels, Elizabeth City,North Carolina; and Clyde Hy-ink, Des Moines, Iowa.

The chapter house enjoyed acomparatively quiet week-end,due mainly to the fact that "agi-tator" Vic Pohl strayed far fromthe beaten track to take a lookat the Queen of Kirksville andin doing so, persuaded "noisy"Dresser to accompany him, hencethe comparative peace and quiet.

We wonder more and moreeach year why, if babies do haveto be born at four and fiveo'clock in the morning, we can'tjust once, have seniors in thehouse that can hear the phonebell? No reflection on our sen-iors but does a slight touch ofdeafness go hand in hand withthe fourth year of Osteopathy?

Due to rather harsh and un-due methods of expressing af-fection for our Brother Happelwe are forced to be wary of fly-ing fists as he promises to start"swinging" tomorrow if theaforesaid affection is not curbedto some extent.

The chapter house took on thegood old "Festival" air Fridaynight of last week when themembers attended an informal"get-together" which includedall the necessary "fixin's" tomake it a real party. The extentof the good time can be vouchedfor by Dr. Cash, who helped thefun with a few of his "Oirish"stories.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAOn Friday evening, Sept. 28,

J. B. Miller, Stan Wilkas, andEddie Zyzelewski received theirfirst degree initiation into themysteries of P. S. G. The degreewas held at midnight in the base-ment of the house with all ac-tives present. A buffet lunch,prepared by the pledges, wasserved following the work.

The fall cleanup campaign isin full sway. Pledge duties havebeen assigned and the house israpidly assuming its usual com-fortable winter atmosphere.

The following men have beenpledged: Jerry O'Berski, RobertHoefer, Robert Luby, LeighWhitney, Myron Bos, and DonMcClure. Welcome, fellows, and

good luck as you travel therocky road of pledgeship.

We notice that . . . Wild BillMoore seems haggard and wornafter his week-end excursions.Take it easy, pal; since BudStorey went home he has morevim, vigor and vitality; Bob Gib-son and his trusty V-8 know allthe answers-about nurses.

Now that the World Series isover all bets are being placed onthe grid clashes. With Dex Riceas leader of the Michigan root-ers, Bill Reese feeling very un-happy over W. and J., Fred Hec-ker losing sleep over Marquette,and the rest of us strongly butsilently pulling for our ownstate team, the Saturday after-noons are packed full of thrills.

If you notice a certain dense,blue smoke pouring out of adownstairs window, think noth-ing of it, for it is just the after-dinner bridge club in session.With all pipes going full blastand the kibitizers occupyingevery available space, the con-tests are hot and heavy. So farit's a tie for the strongest pipe,but brother - those boys sureknow their trumps.

The social committee hasplanned a series of house func-tions for the winter. The first,a dance, was held Oct 5, andwent over with a bang. Let'shope for even bigger and betterones in the future.

The latest arrivals at thehouse are Don McClure and Dr.F. C. Schaeffer. McClure is afreshman and hails from FortDodge, Iowa. Dr. Schaeffer, agraduate of '32, is from Colum-bus, Ohio, and will take a post-graduate course this fall. Wel-come, fellows, and make ourhome your home.

We were glad to have HalWalters walk in the other morn-ing quite unexpectedly. Glad tosee you, Hal.

Congratulations are in orderfor Bill Moore, who was initiat-ed into Psi Sigma Alpha, andBud Storey, who was recentlypledged to that organization.

DELTA OMEGAThe girls of Still are very glad

to welcome two post-graduatesinto our midst. Dr. Black, ofMiami, Florida, whose AlmaMater is Kirksville, is takingshort courses in Pediatrics andObstetrics. Dr. Myers, who prac-ticed for some time in Minneap-olis, is an old student of Still.She is a Beta girl and graduatedin 1919.

Three new Freshman womenare roaming our halls. We shalltell more about them at somefuture date. It is sufficient nowto name them Miss BurnanetteMoeller, Rockwell City, Iowa;Mrs. Ruth Paul and Mrs. AnnaSlocum, both of Des Moines.

Six of our old members sawfit to return to school this fall:Marybeth Ziegler, Clarise Kieft,Dorothea Failing, Evelyn Ket-man, Helen Butcher, and LillianPeterson.

All the girls except Evelynand Dr. Myers spent a very en-

joyable evening on Sept. 26. Fol-lowing a picture at Virge's, con-cerning trips east and west, wewent to the home of Drs. Johnand Rachel Woods, where gamesand refreshments, cider anddoughnuts, were enjoyed. Duringthe course of the evening welearned a new reducing exercise.Turn the head first to right, thento left, repeat several times-bythis stage the doughnuts, etc.should be gone. We really enjoy-ed ourselves and appreciated thishospitality. Thank you, Drs.Virge, Rachel and John.

Kansas, Ahoy!

Listen, Kansas!!! Plan yournext state meeting when the ballgames are over. It is asking toomuch of a weak minded Cardinalfan to concentrate on osteopath-ic technicalities with the baby-'sshoes in the pot and the crucibleboiling.

It was an ideal drive down toManhattan and back. Weatherperfect, Fall coloring vivid, roadsexcellent and the car alive tothis perfection and meeting itscompetition.

Met some old friends at theHotel Wareham Sunday eve andthe usual bull session ensued.Another perfect day Monday,with many arriving. We followedDr. R. C. McCaughan of the Cen-tral Office, and thoroughly en-joyed his talk. It was certainlyto the point, and left all appalledat the vast amount of valuablework being done by our officials.

After lunch we tried ratherunsuccessfully to compete withGraham McNamee. However, theprogram must go on, and it did.Next year at Cleveland, if yousee some Kansans with their earsstretched out, they will be theones who attended this state con-vention. They got that way try-ing to listen to the program ofthe association with one ear andthe ball game with the other.

Over 200 at the banquet thatevening. John Deason acted asan able toastmaster and met eachsituation in the typical Deasoniistyle. During the evening Dr.Bennison was declared dead sev-eral times, but finally ended theexchange of toasts in betterhealth than for several years.

Don't worry about the fate ofosteopathy in Kansas. It is inexcellent hands, and it is a privi-lege and pleasure to meet witha group having such high osteo-pathic ideals. Kansas believes indry osteopathy, so leave yourwet goods at home.

We enjoyed the entire trip.-H.V.H.

The "New Deal"There are many of us who

support the "New Deal" with fa-naticism; there are others of uswho are favorable to it and in-tend to allow it to have its fullmeasure of trial and opportun-ity; there are still others, theminority it would seem, who op-pose the present regime at everyturn. All of which merely goesto show that there is very rarelyunanimity of opinion on any sub-ject.

There is one moot point, how-ever, upon which we should allshare the same opinion that ofadvancing and building the pro-fession of Osteopathy. You canhelp a "New Deal" for Osteo-pathy by beginning to recruitstudents for the next class whichmatriculates in January.

The backbone of the depres-eion is broken, we are slowly butsurely salvaging the shatteredfragments of our economic struc-ture and are more securely thanever before welding them into anew and substantial whole. Thetime was never'better, as Dr. H.I.. Collins reminded us duringthe convention, for commencingthe study of a professionalcourse. Osteopathy should be theprofessional course of choice.

Let us all organize a sort ofone-man "New Deal" for our col-leges and make the January,1935, class the largest mid-yearenrollment in the history of theschool. Let's go! -(J.R.F.)

Osteopathic HospitalCompletes Addition

Doctors 0. O. Bashline and W.F. Rossman, for the past 20 yearsosteopathic physicians and sur-geons of Grove City, Pa., havecompleted construction of a 20-room addition to their hospital.New sffices and treating roomsoccupy the first floor, and a den-tal office is provided.

With the new wing to the hos-pital, room accommodations forfifty patients are available, in-cluding 27 private rooms, sevensemi-private rooms, two wards,and a nursery with seven bas-sinettes. The number of bedsmay be increased as needed. Alarge reception room is providedfor office patients, and waitingrooms on each floor are open toguests of hospital patients.

The building comprises 80rooms on its three floors, andhouses two heating units, laun-dry, kitchen and dining room, in

addition to the hospital quarters.Automatic fuel oil heaters assureconstant temperature at all times.A meeting room is furnished forthe Osteopathic Hospital Auxili-ary. A library and classroomserve the hospital staff.

The hospital presents an im-posing appearance with its whitestucco exterior. The interior isfinished with cream coloredwalls, and ivory and mahoganywoodwork. Outside walls are in-sulated with cork, while the in-side walls are celotex and plasterconstruction. Floors are of plas-tic magnesia construction.

Complete hospitalization facil-ities are afforded for surgery, ob-stetrics, x-ray examination andtreatment, radium treatment,cardiography, cystoscopy, oph-thalmology, dentistry, osteopath-ic, thermogenic and colonic ther-apeutics, physio-therapy, and di-athermy. The field of surgeryincludes ear, nose, throat, ab-dominal, pelvic, orthopedic andfractures. In fact, the entirefield is covered.

Eight doctors of osteopathyare included on the hospital staffand the services of a dental sur-geon are available.

Any patient requiring treat-ment for other than contagiousdisease may be admitted to theOsteopathic Hospital. The insti-tution and its facilities are opento all licensed physicians andsurgeons, whether of the allo-pathic, homeopathic, eclectic, orosteopathic schools of medicine.The hospital serves a wide areain western Pennsylvania and

eastern Ohio; having more thanfifty visiting physicians. Quar-terly clinics are conducted forinstruction and to render ser-vice to worthy needy patients.

In addition to the graduatenurses employed, a staff of 14student nurses is enrolled. In-struction is offered by the super-visors and members of the hos-pital staff. The nurses' home isadjacent to the hospital.

Special Assembly, Oct. 3A special assembly was called

for Wednesday, Oct. 3, and thestudent body was privileged towitness two films presented thruthe courtesy of the American Col-lege of Osteopathic Surgeons.

The first was a two-reel pic-ture of "Management of a Nor-mal Breech Presentation." Thisdepicted the management of abreech all through the entirelabor to delivery and resuscita-tion of the child.

The second was a three-reelpicture showing the surgicaltreatment of indirect inguinalhernia. The first reel showed thedissection of the lower quadrantof the abdomen of a male cada-ver, while the second and thirdreels showed the actual surgicalprocedure.

These films were a source ofworth while information to thestudent body and it is earnestlyhoped that Dr. Facto's sugges-tion of having such pictures of-ten will bear fruit.

Convocation, Sept. 28The first appearance of Dr.

Halladay's newest edition of theStill College Orchestra greetedthe surprised student body as itentered the auditorium. Its open-ing selection was "The PrizeWaltz" and, considering the lackof sufficient rehearsal, was donewith gusto and dispatch.

Dr. Halladay, after the tu-multuous applause had diedaway, turned the meeting overto Ronald Wilburn, a senior stu-dent. Mr. Wilburn told us hissister was a member of the Gil-bert and Sullivan Comic OperaTroupe which was in Des Moinesfor presentations of "The Mik-ado" and "Pinafore." Afterthese remarks he introduced hissister, June, who favored uswith two vocal solos. In singing"Until" and Oley Speak's im-mortal "Sylvia", Miss Wilburndisplayed an excellent contraltovoice. She was especially effec-tive in her low register and it ishard to believe that she has ben-efitted by only six months study.She is a winner of the AtwaterKent Auditions for the state ofSouth Dakota and it is to behoped that she continues herstudies, vocal talent today is notbeing developed as it should beand when such a promising voiceis discovered every opportunityfor development should be af-forded it.

Mr. Wilburn next presentedMr. Herman Larson, a memberof the Opera Co., whb sang atenor aria from the forgottenopera "Rigonello." Mr. Larsonwon a South Dakota AtwaterKent Audition and also a Chica-go District audition which gavehim a scholarship in voice. He isthe possessor of a very pleasingtenor voice and, like Miss Wil-burn, it is to be hoped that hewill be enabled to continue voiceculture.

The third member of the groupwas Miss Betty Fowler. MissFowler was formerly the "GypsySweetheart" of Station WOWVO.To her fell the duty of present-ing the popular type of song andshe rendered the perennial fa-vorite "Chloe" and "It Was SoBeautiful." As a special encoreshe presented a reading "At theBeach" which was very mirthfuland exceedingly true to life.

Dr. Virge again mounted thedais and led the symphony in"Goofus." This, as Dr. Halladayannounced, was the chaser. Allagreed that this was one of themost entertaining assemblies ofthe current year and we trustthat it will prove a model forfuture programs.

Convocation, Sept. 21

This convocation, dedicated tothe Freshman, was opened by Dr.Johnson and immediately turnedover to Dr. Halladay. Withoutfurther ado, the new studentswere called to the platform,where each stepped forward andintroduced himself (or herself)by stating name and home cityand state. Iowa, of course, ledall states numerically, but Michi-gan was a surprisingly close sec-ond. Some of the older studentscan remember when Ohio wasthe leading state in student rep-resentation, but in late yearsMichigan has far outdone theBuckeyes.

After the freshies resumedtheir seats, the students return-ing after being out a while wereintroduced. Next those who havetransferred from other schoolswere basked in the limelight.Those of the faculty who- ̂ _wr-P-present were given an opportun-ity to take a graceful bow, whichthey did most mellifluously.Last, but by no means least, tomake an appearance, were thosewith us for post-graduate study,namely, Dr. Mitchell of Kansas,Dr. Black of Florida, and Dr.Myers of Minnesota.

An invitation was extended to-the entire student body to attendthe Polk County Osteopathic As-sociation Banquet to be given Oc-tober 2nd in honor of the Ameri-can College of Osteopathic Sur-geons. With the prospect of suchan opportunity to look forwardto the convocation was dis-missed.

Man will deny his ear music,his mind culture, and his heartlove in order that he may amasswealth with which to enjoy thesethings by and by. But too often,when the expected time comes,the power to enjoy them hasfled.

This delicacy wasfurnished by Dr. Marshall, whobagged the elk while on hishunting trip in the Rockies. Thiswas one of the high spots in At-las activities for the year and anexceptionally good time was had.Besides members, pledges and al-umni, we welcomed as our guestsDrs. C. W. Johnson, J. A.

A Halloween celebration in theform of a hard-time party washeld Saturday, Nov. 3. The holi-day was celebrated in the time-honored and ancient manner, agood time being reported by allpresent.

Pledges Beamer, Schiffer, Hag-erty and Ford recently made aflying trip to Kewanee, Ill., for aweek-end. Aside from visiting,the two nimrods of the groupfound time to trod hill and dalein search of game and theybrought back various and assort-ed lifeless forms of denizens ofthe woods and field thus provingtheir prowess as marksmen.Those who dine at Doty's enjoy-ed the privilege of eating theseesculent morsels, a rare gusta-tory treat.

Pledge Gerlach recently enter-tained his Mother and Cousinwho came from Detroit to visit.We had the pleasure of havingthem with us at the house andenjoyed their all too brief staywith us. We hope they enjoyedbeing here and will return againsoon.

Many are making plans to gohome for Thanksgiving. The De-troit boys are devising ways andmeans, itinerary, etc. while thosewho live a bit closer have thetime-figured down to the second.Those who can't get home thistime have consolation in the factthat Christmas is but a fewweeks away.

IOTA TAU SIGMA(By Vic Pohl)

The champs are with us againand with due reverence we bow

before these mighty personages.Last year they were with us andit looks as though we'll be af-flicted with this horrible maladyagain this year. Will we find re-lief next year? That friends, isour fondest and most cherisheddesire.

Perhaps you are a bit curiousas to the identity of these ven-erable beings. Ask anybody atschool who is acquainted withthe house and they will, withhesitation, inform you. But wish-ing to spare the individual, wewill impart the information toyou. It seems it all came aboutover a bridge game. The twobrothers involved have had a runof phenomenal luck and havemet and defeated all comers sofar, althouh they've taken it onthe chin a few times themselves.But notwithstanding this, theyhave proceeded, without, you un-derstand, the sanction of any-body else in the house, to callthemselves "the Champs". Isn'tit peculiar how success will goto some people's head? We havetried to discourage them by allmanner and means but so farour efforts have met with rebuffand so they continue merrily on,much to the bewilderment ofeveryone else, to let themselvesbe known as the "Chumps" -pardon-"Champs." It would bethe proper time to let these per-sons be known so that you canoffer your congratulations, butwe haven't the heart now. Neith-er of these persons can affordnew hats, they've had to buytwo already and another onewould break them all up. Butif you really want to know themhang around Pem's a few morn-ings and you can't miss the'Champs."

Brother Bob (Chris Krusty)Happel, as all of you know, re-turned to school after threeyears' absence. The boys here atthe house thought at first it washis great thirst for knowledgethat brought him back, but nowwe know better. Brother Happelit seems has a great passion formoustaches as you can tell bythat beautiful little gadget hehas under his nose, but his girlback in Dayton objects to them,so Bob throws over love, family,position for his one great weak-ness moustaches.

Brother Dresser and PledgeBoston shouldn't be so gullibleand take every girl at her word,especially a strange one. Thatlittle fruitless trip out to Twen-ty-fourth and Hubbell avenueshould teach you quite a fewthings about the wiles of women.Incidentally Brother Dresser, itis our advice not to keep our co-eds out as late after this, espec-ially on a school night-it's notthe best thing for them - thenext day, you know.

PHI SIGMA GAMMA(By J. J. Herrin)

We are pleased to welcome J.B. Miller, Stan Wilkes and EddieZyzelewski to membership inPhi Sigma Gamma. Their formalinitiation was held Sunday, Oct.13, followed by open house. ADutch lunch, complete in all de-

Our newest pledge is Joe Hullof Des Moines. Welsome, Joe,and good luck.

It seems that: Zizzie is quite acrooner; Luby picks blondes;Michigan has tough breaks-says Dex; Whitney and Schaefferlike Ottumwa; Sproul is restlessfor Canada; Hoose's voice ischanging; slot machines are hardto beat; Hoefer pines for Ohio;,Cedar Rapids needs Bud; thecall-boy job is unwanted; Mat-tern likes Perry; certain peopleshould not crash apartments atlate hours; Hecker blushes eas-ily; certain pledges should bemore respectful, or else.

The most recent purchase bythe house is the new 1935 modelMaster Philco radio. Built alongthe latest sturdy lines and witha wide variance of selecting andtuning power it will last for sev-eral years, and is one of whichwe are justly proud.

We received a letter the otherday from Dr. C. L. Naylor, bet-ter known as "Charlie," who ispracticing in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Glad to hear from you, andlots of luck. How about somemore of you P. S. G.'s writing in?

By way of initiating the newradio a party was held November2. Dancing and bridge constitut-ed the evening's entertainment.Old fashioned apple cider anddoughnuts were served.

The Sophomore class was giv-en the use of the house for theirparty on Nov. 9. Glad to haveyou, Sophomores.

she radiates forcefulness andenergy.

"She has needed this force-fulness, for her family was notat all in sympathy with her sud-den inspiration as a girl to be-come an Osteopath. After ayear's medical training, how-ever, she won consent to go tothe Des Moines Still College ofOsteopathy for three years ofstudy. Post graduate work laterin Chicago fitted her for hercareer and she returned to De-troit to open an office.

"With her mother Dr. Harveylives on Grosse Ile, where sheplays golf constantly. She likesdriving her car, sports of allkinds, walking out of doors. Butmost of all she likes dealingsympathetically with the prob-lems of people."

Osteopathic Thought InMedical Column

Very frequently one reads adecidedly Osteopathic article inthe various syndicated healthservices appearing in newspapersthroughout the country. Ofcourse Osteopathy is not men-

--tioiied, neither 4s-any credit evergiven to Osteopathy for discov-ering the yery things being writ-ten about. The only exception tothis is found in the writings ofDr. Win. Brady.

James WV. Barton, M. D., has adaily column in the Des MoinesTribune and following are por-tions of one of his liscinssionswhich appeared in the issue ofOct. 23.

"Lower back pain and sciaticais due in most cases to sometrouble between the last bone ofthe spine and the central orwedgeshape bone between thetwo hip bones.

"The injury causes the abovementioned bones to get too closetogether so that there is notenough room for the nerves fromthe spinal cord to pass out prop-erly."

Comment would seem unneces-sary but one would think thatOsteopathy should be given cred-it for proving the existence ofP,-P4-l_ T ..... 1· - · I ,- -4 _-Iii ix-. III VlU I i1',JvIiU ClUllm ,! ;a..s.

The Medics Failed

The following case report fromthe records of our obstetrical

.t.- ffliisr- --v, e think, well worth-relating.

Mrs. P. registered while in thefourth month of pregnancy witha bad case of toxemia. Examina-tion disclosed weight 76 lbs.;hemoglobin 45 % erythrocytecount low; marked case of pyor-rhea; advanced malnutrition;feet and limbs so swollen thatshoes could not be worn; extrem-ities numb; frequent attacks ofvertigo followed by inability tostand or walk; left sacro-iliaclesion. History revealed two pre-vious pregnancies, both miscar-ried; medical physicians had toldher that she could never bring achild to term and that anotherpregnancy might prove fatal toher.

Pre-Natal treatment consistedof 18 hours bed rest daily; dietof one qt. milk and 1/2 pt. creamdaily, liver feeding and rich dietof vegetables and fruits; hema-tinics and cod-liver oil were ad-ministered; and Osteopathictreatment was given severaltimes a week. Urine was exam-

ined weekly and blood analyseswere made at frequent intervals.Extra precautions were takenwhen a diagnosis of twins wasmade.

Some improvement was notic-ed and the patient gained someweight and the hemoglobin esti-mation reached 60% at time ofdelivery. She came to term atthe expected time. Due to the un-certainty of the patient's condi-tion labor was hastened. Anepisiotomy was performed, deliv-ery was spontaneous and thebabies were born eight minutesapart. Repairs consisted of sevendeep and two superficial stitches.

rost-rartum treatment con-sisted of bed rest for three weekswith resumption of exercise verygradual. Hematinics and cod-liver oil ordered continued in-definately together with nourish-ing diet. Recovery was unevent-ful.

At present the patient weighsabout 96 lbs. Osteopathic treat-ment has reduced the sacro-iliaclesion. Hemoglobin is 75 %, ery-throcytes about normal. Cod-liver oil and a hematinic arestill being used.

The twins, whose picture hereappears, weighed 6 lbs. each atbirth. Both have always beenstrong and healthy, in fact atthe Iowa State Fair Baby Con-test they finished with a score ofC R CA AO/_ 1 lrin-r m I ro+ f -L 1^ ;ir

points merely because they hadnot been vaccinated. They werefed by bottle, a Carnation formu-la being used. They are now 17months old, weigh 25 lbs. each,are 31 inches tall, and are theprod-j-- ossesso o rs -f-- 1i 6 --perfeet-teeth each.

It is of interest to note thatmedical physicians warned thisMother that she could never phy-sically carry a baby to term andthat pregnancy would probablybe fatal to her. Yet under Osteo-pathic care she not only deliver-ed twins weighing an aggregateof 12 lbs., but she improved ingeneral health more than couldordinarily be expected.

The student body and facultyentered the auditorium for thisconvocation to the wierdly en-chanting strains of "Play, Fid-dle, Play" as interpreted by Dr.Halladay and the Jazzo-Symph-ony.

Dr. "Virge" then introduced

Mr. Gerome Demonto, demon-strator for Soprani, Inc., manu-facturers of the famous "So-prani" Piano Accordeans. Mr.Demonto is an accordianist ofinternational repute and his tech-nique upon his chosen instru-ment leaves nothing to be desir-ed in the way of near perfection.His first two selections were ofthe gypsy variety, "Two Guitars"and "Bright Eyes." Such musicis peculiarly fitted to the pianoaccordean and, when treatedwith the artistic touch of Mr.Demonto, is most enjoyable.

The next selection was the oldfavorite from the "Gay Nineties"on ti it+ "T p ls IIe PVs Tl -Txr AT7_71t+7. "9fu 11 U I U I wu 1 LU a U51U8 VV asILZ(

The fact that our grandparentsswayed to this lovely waltz mere-ly shows their good taste, as wedid the same. Mr. Demonto clos-ed his portion of the programwith a popular medley consistingof "Cuddle Up A Little Closer,""The World Is Waiting For theSunrise" and "12th Street Rag."We appreciate the opportunity oflistening to Mr. Demonto andhope that he may visit us againsoon.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz next madea number of announcements andcommented on the activities ofsome of the students.

The convocation was broughtto a close by the rendition of"You've Got to Be a FootballHero," by the Jazzo-Symphony.

Convocation, Oct. 26The assembly was opened by

the orchestra playing popular se-lections.

Following the musical pro-logue Dr. Halladay unlimberedthe motion picture projector andshowed a two-reel movie of Gla-cier National Park. This film wasfurnished through the courtesyof the Great Northern R. R.

Maps which charted variousroutes were first shown. Meansof conveyance and residence ac-commodations on the trips aswell as the drives, glaciers andglorious peaks which mark theway appeared. The scenery whichmakes the features of four dif-ferent tours, two being moun-tain lake trips, is marvelous andmade one wish to start on amountain sojourn at once.

The orchestra played anotherpopular selection which servedas a musical epilogue.

Convocation, Oct. 19

Following the playing of RuthEtting's theme song, "Shine OnHarvest Moon," Still Collegecelebrated "Big Game Week."Dr. Halladay introduced Dr.Marshall, who had just returnedfrom a big game hunt in theWyoming Rockies.

Dr. Marshall briefly relatedthe trip to the Double-L-BarRanch where headquarters weremaintained. The Ranch is nearCody, Wyoming, and the huntingwas done about 35 miles up inthe mountains. A guide servedDr. Marshall and his companionof the hunt and a cabin far upin the mountains served as abase of operations, altituteabout 9,000 feet. The Doctorand his group performed the dif-ficult feat of shooting mountainsheep, most elusive and trickyanimals to hunt. They also bag-ged d-er- a - - - -; .- .- . ..-

The method of packing andpreserving the meat was explain-ed. Horns from one of the moun-tain sheep was proudly displayedby Dr. Marshall and was a splen-did trophy of the hunt. Dr. Hal-laday illustrated the talk by pro-jecting on the screen the snap-shots taken by Dr. Marshall andcompanion during the trip. Dr.Marshall's remarks were very in-teresting as well as instructivefor those who shall someday pur-sue the huntsman's sport.

Following the announcementof the All-School dance the meet-ing adjourned to the strains of"Lazybones."

Assembly Nov. 2

The assembly of November 2had as its principal speaker MissPrudence Tomlinson, of the Tom-linson Nursery School.

Following the opening numberby the orchestra, "Moon Song,"Miss Ava Johnson gave a shorttalk on the part that relief workplays in the care of children.She then introduced Miss Tom-linson who gave a very interest-ing and educational talk on theyoung child. She explained thatthe nursery is an extensiondownward of the public schoolyStll -e--- -foi children between the

ages of 18 months and fiveyears. It is an informal type ofschool, having no class periods.The children arrive betweeneight and nine o'clock in themnrnirn a n d undrlo fa.n erx.TYm

ination of the nose, throat, andskin. If found unhealthy they arenot allowed to remain.

Free play is the dominanttheme of the school. Each childis allowed to do as he chooses.under supervision, and is taughtto play in a manner that willbenefit as well as amuse him.Children learn by physical con-tacts, and they are thereforetaught to work and play by theuse of blocks, boxes, and othersimple playthings, that can beused to experiment with. No me-chanical toys are used.

The old conception that child-ren should be seen and notheard, is, according to Miss Tom-linson, out of date. The newidea is to place the adult uponthe child's level and to seethings from its point of view.To him noise, objects to touch,anything within his level ofeyesight, are the importantthings.

A typical day's program at thenursery, designed to build men-tal and physical health, is toplay until 10:30 when a rest per-iod is held during which timeeach child is served with tomatojuice. At 11:30 they get readyfor lunch. This is followed by an-other rest period and the noonmeal. Table manners are taughtby allowing each child to serveanother with food. Luncheon isfollowed by a nap, and an out-of-door play period until 3:30concludes the day.

Following Miss Tomlinson'saddress Bennie Devine, on be-half of Sigma Sigma Phi, pre-sented the scholarship cup to thePhi Sigma Gamma fraternity forhaving the highest average dur-ing the past year. Second placewas awarded the Atlas Club, thetotal number of points being90:40 for Phi Sigma Gamma and90:39 for Atlas.

The assembly closed with thenumber "Here Lies Love" by theorchestra.

-(J. J. H.)

Convocation, Nov. 9

The Jazzo-Symphony openedthe weekly student conclave byrendering "I Saw Stars." It wasassured that the name of theselection had nothing to do eith-er with the effects of the music

onn the listener or the efforts

(See Other Side)_.... _-

of some fraternity brothers todiscipline the pledges.

Dr. Halladay had made ar-rangements for a cowboy singerand one-man-show to appear butfor some obscure reason the tal-ent failed to put in an appear-ance, so the program was some-what rendered nil. However, Dr.Johnson filled in admirably whenhe held an election to ascertainwhether or not the student bodydesired to celebrate ArmisticeDay on Monday, Nov. 12. It isalmost superfluous to report thatthe vote'was overwhelmingly inthe affirmative. Consequently weshall rest from our arduous la-bors and celebrate the cessationof hostilities, which ended theWorld War and started the De-pression, just one day late. Dr.Johnson then closed his portionof the program with a few re-marks relative to student con-duct.

This all too short assemblagewas closed with a rendition ofthe more familiar portions of"It's Winter Again," featuringMarcus Gerlach, drummer, onthe wind whistle.

In the August issue of the LogBook appeared an article headed"Dr. E. W. Kapfer Sets Record."This article told of the Doctor'srecord since locating in Burr-ton, Kansas. The October issue of"Medical Economics" containedalmost verbatim reprint of thisstory under the heading "NoThurdays Off."

Massage Saves Limbs

Again we quote from an Asso-ciated Press article, released in-ternationally, extolling the mar-velous "new" discoveries ofmodern medicine.

"Saving people from threaten-ed amputation of limbs by anew massage treatment was re-ported at the opening session ofthe American College of Physi-cians. This treatment, used totreat diseased blood vessels inarms and legs, has saved thelimbs of people who otherwisewould have had to ha-v'-tfh'renFamputated, because it preventedtheir infection with gangrene,said Dr. E. M. Landis, Philadel-phia.

"The treatment also has beenhelpful for ulcers, blueness ofthe skin and some forms of painthat result from blood vesseldisease, said Dr. Landis."

Such articles as this, hailingold Osteopathic truths to be newmedical discoveries, are .appear-ing with ever increasing frequen-cy in the public press. It is in ourpower to make each and everyone react strongly to our ad-vantage by calling attention pub-licly, whenever and whereverpossible, to the fact that thesediscoveries, so new and amazingto medicine, are as old as Osteo-pathy and universally under-stood and practiced by Osteo-pathic physicians.

Again we repeat the words ofDr. Ray G. Hulburt, "The Trendis Toward Osteopathy."

Fall Causes Death ofDr. E. R. Hoskins

Chicago, Nov. 30.-Dr. EarlR. Hoskins, head of the X-Raydepartment of the Chicago Col-lege of Osteopathy, died lateThanksgiving night of tetanusresulting from a peculiar acci-dent on November 20. Dr. Hos-kins slipped on a wet porch stepthrowing all of his weight onone Ileg, twisting: his body tomaintain his balance. The forceof the muscle pull fractured histhigh just above his knee andthrust the fragments of bonethrough the flesh. The resultinginfection, despite the adminis-tration of tetanus antitoxin andthe greatest nursing care, claim-ed his life nine days later.

Dr. Hoskins was born at Riv-erbank, California, August 31,1887. He graduated from thePolytechnic College of Engineer-ing, receiving his Bachelor ofScience degree from the Univer-sity of 'California in 1907. Hegraduated from the College ofOsteopathic Physicians and Sur-geons' at Los Angeles in June,1915, having held a fellowshipin X-radiance.

Dr. Hoskins was active in thework of the A. T. Still ResearchTnstitnute frnm thIO harn-innin onf

Faculty Meetings

October 22nd marked the be-ginning of the regular facultymeetings for the year. Dr. J. P.Schwartz planned the programbeginning with generous discus-cni, nn a ATT;.h OI rn+ da.siuons WILn suggestions 'for tnebetterment of teaching methodsand improvement in the regularspecified courses. As is the usualcustom a member of the facultyis called upon to discuss a sub-ject in his own department butapplicable to the others. Dr. H.V. Halladay explained in detailthe new nomenclature and thereasons for its adoptiomn by theA. O. A. and the Associated Col-leges.

The meeting December 7thfollowed the regular trusteesmeeting of the college and tookup first, the matter of studentswho are not up to standard intheir work. Dr. Glenn Fishergave the group an exceedinglyinteresting and instructive expo-sition of the recent advances inbio-chemistry. The discussionwhich followed brought outsome very important points ap-plicable to the theories and prac-tice of Osteopathy.

Dr. C. W. Johnson is slatedfor the discussion of reflexes atthe meeting to be held in Janu-ary.

Faculty meetings this yearhave been attended much betterthan in previous years and theinterest in the subjects offeredfor discussion shows plainlythat the Osteopathic concept isparamount. Dr. Schwartz is tobe complimented on the pro-gram outlined for the vear.

THE LOG BOOK

ATLAS CLUB :With Christmas vacation just

a few days away, most of theboys are planning on leaving thebeloved institution and journey-ing toward their homes. Bros.Eddy, Evans, Stimson and Secorand Pledges Schiffer, Dawe,Leslie and Gerlach will venturetoward that barbarous regionknown as Detroit. The majorityof the rest of us will proceed toour more civilized homes andenjoy a pleasant vacation-wehope. We understand that acouple of the young men are sonearly in love that they may notspend their vacation at home atall.

We were left very lonesomeduring Thanksgiving vacation bythe absence of a number of ourfellows. Several of the Detroitboys went home and took Tinyand Bumpus with them. Bothof the visitors were glad to getback here again.

Due, no doubt to increasedstudy activities, much of theformer social whirl has beencalmed down, and the househas been rather quiet for thepast several weeks. There is apossibility of a huge Christmasparty before vacation if we canonly get the boys away fromtheir books.

The basketball team is quitepuffed up over a single victory,and Capt. Evans is doing hisbest to return Curly Bumpusback to earth so that he mayagain star in the forthcominggames. Bro. Bigsby is officialteam physician, which seems toput the boys in a good mentalmood. knowing that they havesuch splendid care.

"Wigits" -Bros. Barquist,Morehouse and Farmer are nowdoing major surgery; the opera-tion was successful, but we have-n't heard much concerning thepatient-Evans has nice eyelash-es and is going steady again-Goode spends as much time inIowa City as he does in DesMoines and was recently snowbound (he says)-Dawe spentvery little time at home Thanks-giving but roomed out duringThanksgiving vacation-we wererecently visited by Bros.

PHI SIGMA GAMMAOur guest speaker November

26 was Miss Burkholder, HeadSurgical Nurse at Des MoinesGeneral Hospital. Her interest-ing talk on problems confront-ing the doctor and nurse wasvery entertaining and instruc-tive to all present.

Hell week was held the weekof December 10, under the di-rection of Pledgemaster Storeywith the able assistance of allactives. No fatalities occurred,but from the looks of all con-cerned the week is one whichwill be long remembered.

Dinner guests Sunday, Dec. 9,were Dr. and Mrs. S. H. Klein.Following dinner Dr. Kline gavea very useful demonstration oftechnique. Thank you, Doctor.

Congratulations are in orderfor Dex Rice and Joe Bartram,who have been pledged to SigmaSigma Phi.

December is the month ofdeparture for two of our mem-bers. Dr. Fred Schaeffer has re-turned to Worthington, Ohio,and Dr. H. H. Sproul returns tohis practice in Newcastle, N.B., Canada. We have enjoyedtheir stay in the house and wishthem the best of luck in prac-tice.

Our pledge list grows withthe addition of Kenneth Bland-ing, Greenville, Michigan.

Dinner guests the evening of

INovember 27 were Dr. and Mrs.Byron Wayland, and Dr. andMrs. J. R. Shaffer, and son. Wehad suspected for some time andour suspicions were confirmedwhen Byron took the fatalplunge into the deep well ofmatrimony. Jack Wilkes, aftera very timely speech, presentedthe newlyweds with a sack ofglittering coins to be used asthey saw fit. We miss his drollhumor around the house, butas we all misstep sooner or later-Good Luck and Best Wishes,Byron.

The snow may be beautiful tothe poets, but to those whotrudge wearily to and fromschool each day it is just an-other problem to figure out-especially when the 0. B. phonecalls come in. Slipping and slid-ing and pushing cars out of ice-bottomed snow banks is theprincipal occupation of the boysthese days, and we are remind-ed of the stories we heard aboutwhen Dad was a boy and walk-ed miles to school. Well, gener-ations change, but - "WhatPrice Education?"

Bob Gibson is recoveringfrom a tonsillectomy whichkeeps him indoors these days.We have a sneaking suspicionthat he likes all the personal at-tention he is receiving, and whoblames him?

The blue-jerseyed boys of P.S. G. fought a hard but losinggame in the first scrimmage ofthe basketball tournament. Withbut six men able to play thedefeat was made easier by theknowledge that each man gavehis best against a fast non-fratteam.

And now, with snow fallingon the window sill and Christ-mas vacation not so far off, I'llsay, in behalf of Phi SigmaGamma, "Merry Christmas toyou all. -J. J. Herrin.

Followinghim, Dr. Fisher narrated on "Os-teopathy and Drugs." He dis-cussed the relative merit of thefew necessary drugs includingthe specifics and curatives. Dr.Woods talked on 'Expectations.'This discussion really gave thosepresent something to thinkabout. Dr. J. P. Schwartz closedthe meeting with an excellentdiscussion on "The SexualFilqa___.tion." In his unusual manner ofdelivery he left some impres-sions that will be hard to forget.It is a pleasure to have speakersof the caliber of those namedabove, and those attending wereindeed very fortunate.

Basketball TourneyOpens

The first round games of thecurrent intramural basketballtournament were played Thurs-day evening, Dec. 6, at the Jew-ish Community center. Those at-tending enjoyed a very excitingand entertaining evening.

The first game was hardfought between Phi Sigma Gam-ma and the Non-Frats. The lat-ter won 29 to 5. Although theP. S. G. boys worked hard theycouldn't connect with the bas-ket. Storey looked good for theGreeks, while Huffen led thescoring for the barbs.

The Holiday Season

The Christmas season has al-ways been exemplified by goodwill to all and brotherly lovefor the whole of humanity. Thisidealistic behavior has, ofcourse, never been realized ingreat enough or wide-spreadenough quantities to changegreatly the course of humanevents. We still have wars, ra-cial animosities, murder, crueltyand persecution; we still havethose who would, through legalor physical force, foist theirown particular ideas or fetishesupon their brethren regardlessof what these brethren mightthink about it.

Yet Christmas time, regard-less of our belief or creed, some-how awakens many dormantsympathies and friendly inspira-tions within us if we are at allnormal. Let us hope that wecarry a bit more of this spiritwith us through 1935 than wehave in previous years; let usmake the New Year a livingissue with a keynote of toler-ance, forgiveness and open-heartedness; let us bury ourpersonal differences and devoteourselves to the advancement ofourselves and our profession.

In this spirit the editor, onbehalf of himself and the entirestudent body, extends to allsincere wishes for a very enjoy-- ,I- r '" -'-4 - -- - --

(Continued from Page 1)markable. He spent almost 40years from the first until successcame to him; 40 years in whichhis family many times did nothave the conveniences of ordi-nary living; 40 years of fierceopposition and personal animos-ities. Yet he lived to see suc-cess, to see Osteopathy flourishand begin to assume its right-ful place in the therapeuticworld. This is the heritage heleaves us, his one request wasthat we should carry on and weshall. On Dec. 12, 1917, he pass-ed away at the advanced age of89 years. Until the last he rarelytalked anything but Osteopathy.With his ideal before us we can-not fail."

Dr. Johnson next introducedan old Still College classmate ofhis, Dr. George E. Moore, DesMoines, who graduated some 35years ago. Dr. Moore was aclose personal friend of ourfounder, Dr. S. S. Still, a cousinof Dr. A. T. Still. "Dr. S. S.was," said Dr. Moore, "one ofthe hardest, deepest and mostpersistant students of science Ihave ever known. In 1893 heran a store in Marysville, Mo.,where I was teaching science inthe Marysville Seminary. Inspite of his business he was in-terested only in science and hespent many hours with me indiscussion and argument on sci-entific questions. He studied Os-teopathy under the Old Doctorand came to Des Moines, wherehe organized this school. Hewas not only an unusual stu-dent but a very fine teacher. Hegraduated in Law at Drake butnever practiced it as he merelytook the course for his own edi-fication. He was a fine astron-omer, and so on. But on top ofit all he was a true friend-hewould go out of his way to do akindness. He enjoyed a goodjoke, particularly if it was uponhimself. Today is the anniver-sary of his birth-he was bornDec. 7, 1851. We cannot praisehis great genius too much butit all may be summed up by say-ing "he was everyone's friend!"

The last speaker was Dr. J.P. Schwartz who paid tribute tothe memory of Dr. George Still."Dr. George Still died a tragicdeath from an accidental gunshot wound when he was but 41years old, his death coming Nov.23, 1922. He was the son of Dr.S. S. and Ella Still. He was pre-cocious having graduated fromHigh School at the age of 15.He then attended KirksvilleState Teachers College andDrake University. He was theyoungest graduate of Drake atthat time and was presented bythe University with a micros-cope as a reward for his out-standing scholarship in science.

"He went to Northwesternwhere he received his M. S. andM. D. degrees. Returning to DesMoines he became city bacteri-ologist and police surgeon. Hestarted his study of Osteopathy

at this school but finished inKirksville, teaching physicaldiagnosis and surgery in bothschools. He pursued post-grad-uate work all over the UnitedStates and in 1913 studiedabroad. He was a lover of na-ture and a fine sportsman. Hiswork in surgery was outstand-ing. He was the first to usepost-operative Osteopathic treat-ment routinely and linked upsurgery and Osteopathy. Duringthe war he tught the Frenchhow to remove the bark fromdogs and the bray from donkeysso that these animals could bemore successfully used near thebattle front. Dr. Morehouse,president of Drake University,delivered the eulogy at Dr.George Still's funeral and fit-tingly closed his remarks saying'he was a genuine friend toman'."

George Sutton sang "Invic-tus," -accompanied -by ----RobertTessien. Both young men aremembers of the student body.

In closing Dr. Schwartz calledattention to the Student LoanFund Seals and urged all tobuy them.

Later in the day a delegationfrom the college went to Wood-lawn Cemetery where a wreathwas placed upon the grave ofDr. S. S. Still as a tribute fromthe faculty, alumni and studentbody of the college he founded.

Special AssemblyNov. 13

President Johnson called aspecial assembly on this date sothat the students might have theopportunity of hearing Dr. JohnH. Rogers, an alumnus of D. M.S. C. 0. and examiner for theBureau of Colleges of the A. O.A. Dr. Rogers always brings amessage worth while and it isa distinct pleasure to have himwith us on his visits of examina-tion.

"The A. O. A.," said Dr. Rog-ers, "has approximately 3,700members out of some 8,300 D.O.'s in the field. If all thesenon-members would join itwould give the National organi-zation a potentiality of $204,-000.00 per annum, the turnoverbeing four times yearly. Theshortcomings of both the A. 0.A. and our schools are so smallthat we should all overlook themand get behind each and boost."

Dr. Rogers went on to saythat the oldest Osteopathicschool was but 42 years old andthat Still College has been inexistence only 36 years. Theoldest American medical schoolhas been functioning about 234years! When these figures arecompared it becomes apparentthat the progress of Osteopathiceducation has been little shortof amazing.

The speaker enumerated themanifold advantages of D. M.S. C. 0. "This college," hesaid, "has the clinic, outstand-ing men and women instructors,in fact all opportunities are af-forded for a thorough profes-sional education. You students

should measure up to these op-portunities. The future of Os-teopathy is upon the shouldersof today's students."

Dr. Johnson closed the assem-bly with a glowing tribute tothe sincerity and earnestness ofDr. Rogers in his efforts towardthe unification of Osteopathiceducation.

Convocation, No-. 16The Jazzo-Symphony opened

the convocation with what start-ed out to be an expert renditionof the presently popular "StarsFell On Alabama." However,about mid-way in the opus mae-stro Halladay signaled for amodulation into an intermediarystrain with fear and trepidation.Some of the musicians had a bitof difficulty finding their land-marks in the Key of G but Virgegraciously signaled for a halt.After allowing a moment forreflection the boys started in anddid a great job of completingthe number, proving that theyare the masters of the Key of Gproviding it does not sneak upupon them unbeknownst.

A most instructive movingpicture was presented by Dr.Halladay and Dr. Facto, the titlebeing "Cardiac Irregularities."Dr. Virge operated the machinewhile Dr. Facto interpreted thefilm in a most expert fashion.The film embraced the followingconditions: The Normal Heart;Disturbances of Impulse Initia-tion including Phasic Sinus Ar-rythmia, Sinus Bradycardia, Si-nus Tachycardia, Disturbancesin Auriculo-Ventricular Rhythm,Premature Systole, VentricularExtrasystoles, Paroxysmal Tac-hycardia, Auricular Fibrillation,and Ventricular Fibrillation;and Disturbances of ImpulseCondition including Incomplete,Partial and Complete Block.

The film included diagramaticillustrations and pictures of theheart of a dog with the variousconditions produced by electri-cal stimulation. The picture wasexcellently photographed andwas one of_ the mositvahmuble_yet presented. The student bodyanticipates the continuation ofthis series of scientific films.

Mark Garlach announced theFreshman Dinner-Dance to beheld at the Mayfair, Nov 23.

Bennie Devine, on behalf ofSigma Sigma Phi, presented Dr.J. P. Schwartz with a scroll up-on which was written the namesof the entire faculty and stu-dent body of D. M. S. C. O. Thescroll was presented as a tributeto the outstanding achievementsof Dr. Schwartz in the fields ofOsteopathic surgery and Osteo-pathic education. Dr. Schwartzmade a brief reply of apprecia-tion for this honor.

The students returned to theclass rooms to the strains of"Star Dust" as interpreted bythe orchestra.

Fall Causes Death ofDr. E. R. Hoskins

(Continued from Page 1)reports of his work had just be-gun in The Journal of Ameri-can Osteopathic Association.

Dr. Itoskins had been con-nected with the Chicago Collegeof Osteopathy and the ChicagoOsteopathic Hospital since 1918.

He was a member of the Lin-colnshire Country Club, a 32ndDegree Mason, a Shriner, andKiwanian. His hobbies were golfand gardening.

He is survived by Mrs. Hos-kins, the former Verna J. Bahmof Elmhurst, whom he marriedin July, 1932, and by two child-ren, Doris 11 years of age, bya former marriage, and Earl Ro-land, Jr., 7 months.

Convocation, Nov. 23Duke Ellington's famous

"Blue Prelude" was the over-ture to this convocation. It wasrendered with the usual faciletechnique of our orchestra.

Dr. Halladay introduced Mr.Clyde Sharrar, traffic managerof the United Airways, who pre-sented a two-reel film entitled"Flying Across America in 18Hours with the United AirLines." As well as providing ex-cellent entertainment the filmand Mr. Sharrar's lecture left uswith a new conception of mod-ern flying and aircraft.

The Boeing Wasps now in usemaintain a speed of three milesper minute. The United operates60 of these planes which aremade of duralumin at a cost of$55,000 each. The operation ofthe airway includes aircraft, ex-pert pilots, trained groundcrews, up-to-the-minute weatherreports, etc. Each plane is rig-idly inspected after every flight,90 systematic checks are madebefore any plane can leave theground, and radio weather re-ports are sent every 20 minutes.Pilots are in constant commun-ication with the ground throughtwo-way radio. The planes carry1,000 lbs. of baggage, 10 pass-engers and a crew of three twopilots and a stewardess. Motorsare overhauled after every 15hours of service and junkedafter 2,000 hours.

Scenes across the transconti-nental routes were viewed andthe various major airports wereseen. This line uses the muni-cipal airport at Des Moines. Weenjoyed this picture very muchand assure Mr. Sharrar and theUnited Airways that we appre-ciate their courtesy in showingit to us.

The assembly was closed bythe orchestra playing "TheSweetheart of Sigma Chi," re-spectfully dedicated to Cy Pot-ter.

Washington Takes Lead:Will Others Follow?

The Washington OsteopathicAssociation recently set upmechanism for a real studentrecruiting campaign. Dr. C. C.Heckman, Seattle, is chairmanof the Washington Student Re-cruiting Committee and is do-ing very admirable work. Fol-lowing is a summary of a reportof the committee which containsmany facts of interest to thosewho might consider Washingtonas a state in which to locate. Itis headed "Wanted: 200 Osteo-paths in Washington."

The State of Washington witha population of 1,560,000 hasonly 140 Osteopaths; Seattle, acity of more than 365,000 hasbut 40 D. O.'s. The 140 D. O.'sserve only about 900,000 of the1,560,000 people in the state.Six towns of over 3,000 and 9of over 2,000 have no D. O. LosAngeles with a population lessthan the state of Washington(1,200,000) has 800 D. O.'s.Washington has one D. O. toevery 11,000 people. Colorado'sratio is one to 7,000; Iowa,Kansas and Main's about oneto 6000; Missouri one to 5000,and California one to 4500. LosAngeles has one D. O. to every1600 population. Seattle hasone to every 9000.

Is it reasonable to assumethat Washington should haveone D. 0. for every 4000 in thearea now served by our profes-sion and one D. 0. for 6500 inthe remainder of the state?This Means 300 Additional D.O.'s Are Needed!

The Mercy Hospital

A new mimeographed sheet,the Mercy Hospital Bulletin, re-cently made its appearance inthe field of Osteopathic publica-tions. This double sheet is pre-sented by the Mercy Hospital ofSt. Joseph, Mo., and is devotedto items of interest concerningthe hospital, its staff and thosephysicians using the hospitalfacilities. The sheet is newsyand cannot help but aid the hos-pital materially.

Dr. F. J. McAllister, '34, aformer editor of the Log Book,edits the pamphlet which comesto us monthly. Congratulationsand keep up the good work.

Dr. L. M. BeemanPasses Away

The Osteopathic world suffer-ed a great loss on Dec. 27, 1934,when Dr. L. Mason Beeman diedit the age of 63. Dr. Beemangraduated from A. S. O. in 1908and established practice in NewYork City, where he remained,hroughout the remainder of hisife. He commuted to Philadel-phia. for a number o-f years- ---order to serve on the faculty ofthe Philadelphia College of Oste-)pathy.

To Dr. Beemanl belongs thecredit of bringing the New YorkCity Osteopathic Clinic into be-ing and maintaining it at itsconsistently high standard. Al-nost every office in the A. O. A.and the New York State Osteo-pathic Association was, at sometime or other, urged upon himbut he ever remained steadfastin his determination not to holdelective office.

Following Dr. Beeman's deathall the major press services car-ried the notice calling attentionto the fact that he was the phy-sician who discovered, describedand. named the condition knownto the therapeutic and athleticworld as "tennis elbow."

Funeral services in New YorkCity, Dec. 29, were attended bya great majority of the Osteo-pathic physicians of the metro-politan area as well as by scoresof former patients and friends.Interment was in Glendale, Cal.

Graduation, Jan. 25

On the evening of Friday,Jan. 25, D. M. S. C. O. will grad-uate another class. This class,though small, amply makes upfor its numerical weakness byits scholarship and firm graspupon Osteopathic therapy.

Class day exercises will be heldin the morning of the 25th inthe college auditorium. Eachgraduating class strives to outdoits predecessor in the presenta-tion of a class day program andthis one will be anticipatedeagerly. Special awards and cer-tificates of merit will be present-ed at these exercises.

The upper senior class ismade up of the following men:Edmund C. Baird, Louis H. Car-leton, Albert W. Dennis, John C.Ennis, Lester P. Fagen, DelbertF. Johnson, Howard F. Kale,Hudson H. Sproul, Russell B.Stephens, and Byron Wayland.

Polk County OsteopathicAssociation

On December 14 the PolkCounty Osteopathic Associationmet as guests of Still College forthe regular monthly session. Abountiful dinner was served toall present, the fourth floor lab-oratory being used as the diningroom.

After the smoke cleared thegroup was conducted to the As-sembly room for the program.This was a symposium on theKidney. Dr. Virge Halladay gavethe Anatomy; Dr. G. E. Fishertold of the Laboratory Exami-nation and its Clinical Signifi-cance; Miss Ava Johnson's sub-ject was the Physiology; and Dr.L. L. Facto spoke on the NerveCenters and Control.

The first monthly meeting ofthe new year of the Polk 'CountyOsteopathic Association was heldFriday night, January 11, at theHotel Savery, at 6:30.

The subject of the eveningwas "Infantile Paralysis." Dr.John M. Woods was leader ofthe discussion.

Convocation, Dec. 14

"Two Cigarettes in the Dark"was the opening selection playedby the Still College rhythm band.

Dr. Halladay then announcedthat we would view another ofthe scientific films that have fre-quently graced our programs re-cently. "The title on the filmbox," said Virge, "is obscuredand all I can make out are theletters 'L and H', I presume thismeans lungs and heart." Theprojector commenced its grind-ing and, as we all got in a stu-dious frame of mind, the titleframe flashed on the screen andour amazed eyes read "Laurel &Hardy in "Flying Elephants."

As can be imagined this prov-ed to be a most hilariously jo-cose opus. The time was thestone age and the action con-cerned he-man modus operandiof subduing and capturing mem-bers of the feminine population.Needless to relate, the antics ofthis pair of buffoons kept ourstudent body in a state of ex-treme jubliation. So successfulwas this venture into the realmof cinematic facetiousness thatVirge promised more for us inthe future.

The chaser provided by themusicians was "Stars Fell onAlabama."

Convocation, Dec. 21Without orchestral preiiminar-

ies Dr. Halladay introduced agroup of fair damsels from theAmerican Institute of Business,who entertained us with popularmelodies. The group consisted ofa u YUUrtUU aVIVL. lly CauVilllJ-

anist. The first number present-ed a contralto soloist with thequartette in an expert renditionof "Be Still My Heart." Therethen followed the hit tune ofthe day, a pulchritudinous mem-ber of the quartette announcedthat the four maidens dedicated"My Big Worry Is You" to Dr.Halladay and they proceeded tonot only sing this for Virge butat him as well. Our soloist thensang "Out in the Cold Again"and, with the aid of the quar-tette, a medley consisting of"Walkin' in the Winter Wonder-land' 'and "With You in MyArms." So great was the ap-plause that the girls favored uswith an encore, "You're the OneFore Me." We greatly appreciatethe opportunity of hearing thesetalented girls and they are to becomplimented upon the masterlyfashion in which they presentthese tunes of the day. Comeagain, soon!

Following the A. I. B. girlsthe D. M. S. C. 0. jazzo-sym-phony played "I Saw Stars" and"Blue Prelude," featuring Geo.Sutton in the vocal refrains.

Moving pictures once moreformed the spice of the program.Virge Halladay presented Mickey

Mouse cavorting about thescreen in two inimitable por-trayals, "Barnyard Dance" and"The Galloping Gaucho." 'Tissaid that President Rooseveltalways requests a Mickey MouseCartoon on the White Housecinema programs and, judgingfrom the enthusiasm whichgreeted the famous rodent's ap-pearance at Still, our studentsseem to share the President'staste in this respect.

"Good Night Sweetheart" wasthe chaser.

Washington Takes Lead:Will Others Follow?

(Continued from Page 1)modern 40-bed Osteopathic hos-pital. The state of Washingtonhas one of the best Osteopathiclaws in the United States-un-restricted rights to practice asthe family physician. We canpractice obsterics and, after aninternship, surgery. The surgi-cal license gives unlimited priv-ileges in treating industrial in-surance cases.

What benefits will accruefrom increased numbers inWashington ?

First:-County and state as-sociation activities will bestrengthened. There will resultbetter state convention pro-grams and more definite educa-tional efforts.

Second:-Public opinion willbecome increasingly favorable.

Third:-The public will bene-fit in improved service. Therewill be a more accurate evalua-tion by the public of Osteopathyas a therapy. Consultation possi-bilities will be improved. Os-teopathic specialists will coverthat field more adequately andOsteopathic patients will beserved 100% by Osteopathicphysicians. We will have moreand better hospitals open toD. O.'s.

Fourth: The Osteopathicphysician and surgeon as an in-dividual will benefit. The aver-age volume of practice will in-crease. More people will look tohim as the family physician.There will exist less confusionwith the drugless schools ofpractice. There will be more in-ternships and post-graduatecourses. We will be nearer to anOsteopathic office building inSeattle and a unit in the KingCounty Hospital (Harborview).There will be a greater assur-ance of retaining and extendingour legal rights.

Post Graduate StudyThe recent post graduate

study just concluded at the Chi-cago College of Osteopathy wasmost carefully planned, and effi-ciently executed. Of outstandingvalue, and precise application,was the complete considerationgiven the subject of OsteopathicTechnique. - Symposiums onHeart, Thyroid, and Posturewere interwoven with practicallectures on Neurological, Patho-logical, Obsterical, and Labora-tory subjects. The scientific ac-complishments of the late Dr.Earl Hoskins in his work onPosture is something that everyOsteopathic physician can justlypoint out with pride. The entireprofession suffers an irreparableloss in his passing.

Ninety-five doctors from allparts of the middle west werein attendance, with five fromIowa. Such rich calibre of mater-ial was offered that all express-ed the desire to return next year.The dominant thought that per-vades the atmosphere was ablyexpressed by Dr. Riley, quote:"Osteopathy is equal to the task,unless, perchance, the patienthas delayed your call, or thatyou are not equal to effecientapplication when called."

On the evening of January 3,the entire group attending wereguests of the Chicago Osteopath-ic City Society, at their regularmonthly meeting in the ElinorClub, at which time Iowa wasaccorded the honor of the floorfor a brief interval.

-F. A. Gordon, D. O.State Membership

The state membership com-mittee received very little sup-port during the past month.Christmas shopping and variousother association drives were nodoubt responsible for the lack ofinterest. Dr. Mable Andrews ofPerry came to the rescue, how-ever, and her membership keptthe month from being a blank.

February is the month for an-other round of district meetings.Speakers will soon be selectedfrom the list voted on at thefall meetings. Your state mem-bership card entitles you to at-tend these district meetings andalso to the reduced registrationfee at the annual state meeting.State dues are now long pastdue and are urgently requestedat this time. Legislative actionis already under way and thecommittee will need a greatdeal of financial support, andfrom every source available.

Start the new year right bygiving yourself a paid-up mem-bership to the Iowa Society ofOsteopathic Physicians and Sur-geons. You will be well repaidfor the small cost, and if youlend a helping hand, a new mem-bership record is certain to beestablished.

-S. A. Helebrant, D. 0.National Membership Contest

Iowa is entered in the nation-.wide -cngto f-r- morye A. 0. A.members. On Dec. 1, there were574 more A. O. A. members thanon the same date one year ago.

It's a case of East against, West and may the best side win.3 Win or lose, we are all working, to make the A. O. A. a larger

and stronger organization. Wordhas been received from Dr. E. S.Merrill of California, captain ofthe "west side gang," to help

l lick the "east side crowd," andt can we do it?

With something like fifteen- additional members, Iowa willbe entitled to one more delegate3 at Cleveland and you non-mem-

bers of the A. 0. A., it's up toI you to get them there. Members

can't help now, they did theirI part-it's up to the non-mem-t ber to join.

This is a legislative year for a- good many states besides Iowa- and we are not intending to lets any other state out-step IowaY California is the only other

"west sider" with a larger nur merical gain.

Reporting to Captain Merrill-Iowa is in the race to win.When the battle is over, Iowaexpects to kick shins with therest of the gang and eat at the"East's" expense, even if theycan afford nothing better thanbaked beans a very favoriteEastern delicacy, we understand.Sergeant French of Iowa report-ing.

Choose Still CollegeMany Educational Advantages

Des Moines Still College wasfounded in 1898 by a group ofmen, headed by Dr. S. S. Still,whose purpose it was to create acollege imbued and permeatedwith an atmosphere of learning,presenting to its students unlim-ited advantages in securing athorough Osteopathic education.

alumni practicing in every stateand many foreign nations testifyas to their success.

LocationThe college occupies a mod-

ern, fire-proof building locatedat 722 Sixth avenue, easy of ac-cess to all persons no matter inwhat section of the city theymight reside. The Oak Park,Highland Park and West Ninthtrolley lines pass the college.The building is but four blocksfrom the business district thusenabling many students to dopart-time work without interfer-ence with their college schedule.

FacultyThe faculty of Still is carefully

chosen, the majority being full-time instructors. The presentgroup has been practically intactfor years and is known far andwide not only for its pedagogicalability but its attainments in Os-teopathic science. Eighteen menand women make up the per-manent staff and a number ofAssociate Professors are choseneach year for occasional lecturesor demonstrations. Didactic andlaboratory work as taught bythis faculty is second to noneand includes all subjects taughtin Class A medical OnstItutionsplus Osteopathy.

Tuition and ExpensesTuition is reasonable, $250.00

per school year, or $130.00 persemester. This sum includes allcharges which are listed separ-ately by most colleges under"registration fees, laboratoryfees, obligate fees," etc. Thereare no such fees at Still.

The cost of books and per-manent personal equipment isnot excessive and should be ade-quately covered by $10.00 to$30.00 per semester. Living ex-penses are discussed elsewhere.

ClinicsStill College possesses a clinic

which is, compared to the sizeof the student body, as large orlarger than that of any otherAmerican college of therapeutics,medical or Osteopathic. Clinicsmaintained are General Osteo-pathic, Gynecologic, Nervous andMental, Obstetrics, Ear, Noseand Throat, Athletic, Surgical,


Teaching Osteopathy

By C. W. JOHNSON, B.S., D.O.

Dr. C. W. Johnson, President ofD.M.S.C.O., is a graduate of IowaState College and holds the degreeof Bachelor of Science from thatinstitution. He received his D. 0.from Still College in 1900 and hasserved his Alma Mater as deanand president for some 28 years.

He is known throughout the en-tire profession for his outstandingwork in Gynecology and Psychiat-ry. He conducts classes in Ner-vous Physiology, Gynecology andNervous and Mental Diseases andhas charge of one division of theGeneral Clinic and the Gynecologicand Nervous and Mental Clinics.

Much of the credit for the col-lege's great success in educatingphysicians is due to Dr. Johnson.Before studying Osteopathy he wasa public school superintendent anda great portion of his career hasbeen devoted to pedagogy.-(Edi-tor.)

What constitutes an educa-tional institution has been an-swered from many angles. Thecomposite resulting from thesuo.:1 Tot-x^ta1tth rtoT-nfenig .

into an educational unit dependsupon the view point of the foun-ders and the supporters, and up-on the object and scope it is toserve. It is said that "Mark Hop-kins on one end of a log and astudent on the other would be auniversity." If the log univer-sity be taken literally, then allour great expenditures of moneyand time and effort in erectingadequate buildings with theirmuseums, laboratories and lec-ture rooms, equipped with thebest agencies and apparatus thatscience has produced is an ino-vation of small merit approach-ing the border lines of uselessidealism.

The sponsors of Des MoinesStill College support the largerview. Their objective is to buildan institution whose base isbroad enough to support all thatscience, invention, research hasbrought to light and perfected.They may never reach this Uto-


Why Osteopathy?

By J. P. SCHWARTZ, D. 0.

Dr. J. P. Schwartz, Dean of D.M.S.C.O., graduated from the Ameri-can School of Osteopathy, Kirks-ville, Mo., in 1919. Coming to DesMoines he became associated withthe Des Moines General Hospital.Deciding to specialize in surgeryhe devoted considerable time inP. G. work in the nation's greatestsurgical clinics and today he isone of the foremost surgeons inthe Osteopathic profession. He isPresident and Surgeon-in-Chief ofDes Moines General Hospital.

Dr. Schwartz has been Dean ofthe College since 1926. He con-ducts classes in Surgery and Proc-tology and Urology and has chargeof the Surgical Clinics.

Under his leadership the Surgi-cal Clinics have earned for them-selves an enviable reputationthroughout the entire middle west.-(Editor.)

The seeker of higher educa-tion is confronted with difficultproblems in this present age.First, it has been a problem tosecure the necessary funds tosupport one through severalyears of college education, andthen, if one has been able tocomplete his college course,there have been but few oppor-tunities for employment in thefield in which he has educatedhimself. Thus the high schoolgraduates hesitate to embark onsuch an uncertain course as acollege education.

From a business standpointthe young man or young womanmust therefore consider thesetwo points mentioned. First,select a course of study com-mensurate with your financialmeans and, secondly, choose acourse of study which upon com-pletion offers an opportunity forwork and advancement. The costof education in our Osteopathicinstitutions is very nominal andopportunities for part-time em-ployment are many. In our owninstitution approximately 80 percent of our student body partial-ly support themselves. The mostoutstanding example of contin-


Study in Des MoinesAn Unexcelled Educational

CenterIt has been said that "It is a

liberal education to live in DesMoines." This is very true, par-ticularly when applied to thosestudying Osteopathy in this city.

Des Moines has a populationof over 140,000 and is the cap-itol city of the State of Iowa. Itis served, b^ nin:e, rai sbus lines, one transcontinentalair line and may be reached onpaved highways from all direc-tions by those driving.

Clinical AdvantagesIt would be impossible to find

a city more perfectly suited as alocation for an Osteopathic col-lege than Des Moines. The cityis large enough to provide un-limited clinical material whileyet not so large that the collegeis submerged in a tremendoussea of humanity, its fame andscope limited to a rather narrowand confined area and its loca-tion not readily 'accesible to alarge number of persons. StillCollege is one of the foremostinstitutions of Des Moines, it isfavorably known throughout thecity and its clinic is drawn notonly from indigents but fromsome of the finest homes in ex-clusive residential sections.

EducationDes Moines is also the home

of Drake University, an institu-tion of some 2,000 students witha national reputation. Drake pos-sesses one of the country's fineststadia and field houses whereMissouri Valley Conference foot-ball and basketball may be seeneacIh~ ' seasoin and. wqier ea,'"spring, is held the international-ly famous Drake Relays. Inci-dentally, Still College studentsare chosen each year as trainersfor the competing teams in theserelays and the opportunity isthus afforded of treating the lu-minaries of the track and fieldsport.

Drake and the city jointly ownan observatory located in Wave-land Park which is open to thepublic and where the heavensmay be viewed through a hugetelescope and the firmamentdescribed by excellent astrono-mers.

The State Medical Library con-sists of all worth-while medicaltexts and publications and itsreading rooms are open to Stillstudents and its volumes are lib-erally lo'aned to those holdingcards supplied by the collegeoffice.

THE LOG BOOK

S. O., Kirksville, Mo., on Dec.10, 1898. Thce founders- decidedto make the organization purelyOsteopathic in nature and thusthe fraternity was named afterthe first cervical human vertebrainstead of receiving the conven-tional Greek letters. Since itsinception the fraternity has en-joyed constant growth until to-day it has outstanding chaptersat each of the recognized col-leges of Osteopathy: Xiphoid atD.M.S.C.O., Axis at Kirksville,Mastoid at Kansas City, Hyoid atChicago, Styloid at Philadelphiaand Cricoid at Los Angeles. Thealumni number over 1,800.

Government is vested in ahouse of delegates which meetsannually and elects a GrandCouncil, the duty of which is toconduct all national business,provide the chapters with bad-ges, insignia, etc. and to publishthe "Atlas Bulletin." Colors arered and white and the flower isthe red carnation. The officialbadge is a replica of the firstcervical human vertebra.

Xiphoid Chapter was installedat Still in 1916 and is located at1725 Sixth avenue, ten blocksnorth of the college, on the mainnorth and south thoroughfare ofthe city, with the Oak Park andHighland Park street cars pass-ing the house and providing fiveminute service to all parts of thecity. The house possesses amplespace for a large number of menand is excellently furnished.There were 35 actives and threepledges during the semester justclosed, nine of the actives grad-uating in the Class of '34. The"Xiphoid Bulletin" is a publica-tion issued four times per schoolyear by the chapter for its alum-ni. The activities of Xiphoid aremany: social events, athletics,scholarship, inter-fraternity com-petition and research and prac-tical work of Osteopathic natureall play an important part onthe calendar.

Atlas men represented on thefaculty of D.M.S.C.O. are: DeanJ. P. Schwartz, H. V. Halladay,R. B. Bachman, J. M. Woods, H.J. Marshall, G. E. Fisher, andJ. L. Schwartz.

Xiphoid Chapter of the AtlasClub is ever anxious to be of ser-vice to any one contemplating

the study of Osteopathy at StillCollege and it will welcome theopportunity to assist anyonewriting to the chapter house.

IOTA TAU SIGMAIota Tau Sigma is a national

Greek letter society, designed tofurther the teachings of Osteo-

pathy in the minds of its stu-dents and to assist them in theirschool life. Alpha, the first chap-ter, was founded at the Ameri-rn Reohnorl Of Ont.onnn thv Kirki-

ville, Mo., May 21, 1903. Sincethat time it has grown to a na-tional organization with an effi-cient and well organized alumniassociation.

The fraternity is governed bya Grand Chapter, consisting ofone member from each activechapter and is further aided bythe alumni association and Su-preme Council of the alumni.

Beta Chapter of Iota Tau Sig-ma was founded June 6, 1903,shortly after the first chapterwas established. We have an at-tractive home, located in thebest residential district of DesMoines, 1161 Twenty-Second St.,conveniently located near twocar lines and within easy walk-ing distance of the college. Thehome itself is modern in everyrespect and is one of which wemay well be proud.

Iota Tau Sigma welcomes allnew students to Still College. Aletter to the Chapter house atthe above address will bring animmediate reply, giving any as-sistance or information desired.Feel free to call on us!

PHI SIGMA GAMMAThe history of Phi Sigma

Gamma is one of many trialsand tribulations. Certain mem-

bers of a local fraternity in theChicago school seem to have beenthe brains and the inspiration ofthe formation of the present or-ganization. After much corre-spondence, this fraternity form-ed a new organization with fra-ternities at Lios Angeles andhere at Des Moines. This newgroup became Phi Sigma Beta, anational organization, in 1915.

The activity produced in thisunion attracted the attention ofPhi Omicron Gamma of Kirks-ville and Kansas City. On Sun-day, April 30, 1916, represent-atives of Phi Omicron Gammaand Phi Sigma Beta met in theoffice of Dr. Wells, in Chicago,and agreed on terms of consoli-

dation of the five chapters andproposed one for the Philadel-phia school. After the variouschapters had agreed upon themerger, Phi Sigma Gamma be-came a reality as a national fra-ternity. The national publicationof the fraternity became "TheSpeculum" and the colors ofNavy Blue and White wereselected.

Delta Chapter is located at2141 West Grand avenue, in oneof the better residential districtsof Des Moines. The three-story,eighteen-room house furnishesample room for the fraternal ac-tivities and a comfortable homefor the members and pledges.Mrs. Clopton, the house mother,keeps the boys fat with her ex-cellent cooking, besides keepingthe house clean. Many pledgesin the past would have thoughther presence Heaven sent on Fri-days, when they had to cleanhouse, in t e Tace of an earlydate.

Twenty-two members and fivepledges finished the last semes-ter with only one, Cal Houpt,graduating. We are expectingthe return of the entire bunchnext fall. The odd thing aboutit is that most of the men areunderclass men, since only fourare graduating next year. Pres.Hecker and his officers reallyhave something to look forwardto and to work for.

Phi Sigma Gamma extends ahearty welcome to new studentsat D.M.S.C.O. We will be glad tobe of any assistance to strangersin our midst. Anyone desiringinformation, please feel free towrite to the house at the aboveaddress.

DELTA OMEGADelta Omega Sorority was

founded at the A. S. O., Kirks-ville. Mo., in 1909. Its purposes

iare L proviue social ana intel-lectual advantages for girls incollege and to interest youngwomen in the study of Osteo-pathy. There are four activechapters; the national publica-tion is "The Alpha," the colorsare green and gold and the flow-er is the yellow chrysanthemum.

Beta Chapter is located at D.M.S.C.O. The alumni body is or-ganized and entertains the ac-tives in joint meeting each monthduring the school year. Thisgroup, together with the honor-ary members made up of wivesof faculty members, aids the ac-tive chapter in all ways. Theclose association with AlphaChapter at Kirksville is a sourceof enjoyment and mutual in-struction.

The chapter has furnished aroom at Des Moines General Hos-pital which is known as "TheDelta Omega Room." The furn-

ishings are exquisite and werechosen with admirable taste.

Dr. Mary Golden, of the fac-ulty, is a member of Delta Om-ega.

Delta Omega, Beta, welcomesall girls who may be consideringOsteopathy as a profession andwill be glad to aid all who maywrite to the chapter.

On Being A Still CollegeStudent

The student coming to D.M.S.C.O. from some other institutionof higher learning is amazed atthe spirit of co-operation andhelpfulness manifested by facultymembers. No student problem istoo unimportant to receive theearnest consideration of the pro-fessor to whom it is presented.This puts personality into educa-tion and its advantages over thedistant, aloof and abstract kindusually purveyed in colleges isinestimable. Classes are not solarge that contact between pro-fessor 'and student is lost but,rather, the entire schedule is de-signed to enhance this contact.Still College students appreciatethis fact and make the most ofit.

The store of didactic and lab-oratory knowledge and clinicalexperience possessed by eachgraduating student of this collegeis limited only by his ambitionand initiative. The school pre-sents to him unexcelled lecturework, completely equipped lab-oratories and unlimited oppor-tunities for all kinds of clinicpractice. The Still graduate en-ters the field with actual clinicand bedside experience which thegraduates of many schools ofhealing must secure for them-selves after starting practice.The aspiring scholar leaves Stillwith a well rounded, intenselypractical education that has de-veloped his ability and initiativeto~ the highest degree.

The students are friendly,courteous and of good character.The various organizations func-tion on terms of mutual co-oper-ation and friendly rivalry. Allare ever ready to aid the new-comer in every way and the newmatriculant will at once findhimself among a group of friendseager to make his days at Stillpleasurable. It is a tribute to thecollege that very few studentsever transfer to other schoolsand that many, after enforcedabsences, return at the earliestopportunity.

Still students are proud oftheir college and they invite allthose contemplating the study ofOsteopathy to come and jointhem and enjoy the many ad-vantages of attending this pro-gressive and efficient institution.

I like the man who bubblesover with enthusiasm. Better bea geyser than a mud puddle-(John G. Shedd.)

For Young Women OnlyBy MARY GOLDEN, D. 0.Because of the present eco-

nomic situation, it is very essen-tial to the young woman, wheth-er she marries or not, to be skill-ed ix some trade or profession.Not the quick, immediate returnshould be looked at but the pres-ent return with the possibilitiesof the future.

Let us consider, pro and con,Osteopathy as a life work for ayoung woman. First, it will makeher a better wife or mother inthe home or a skilled profession-al woman. Second, it will bringno set income. If on a salary theworker may toil twenty-fourhours and receive no more pay;if professionally employed thelonger time working the greaterthe daily income, in other words-the sky is the limit. Third, theprofession of Osteopathy is notcrowded; there is a patheticlack of women in the field.Fourth, it is one professionwhere a woman's income mayequal that of her brother forservice rendered. Fifth, it en-hances the social standing of theindividual in the community.

It enables a woman to affordher home, luxuries and pleasuresin life which most of her fellowworkers would enjoy but mustgo without. During this depres-sion the Osteopathic woman phy-sician has not been hired andfired by some corporation, boardor financial institution, but herpatients have come to her forhelp. The income may have beencut but much less in proportionthan perhaps any of her businessassociates.

Osteopathy as a profession fora young woman has one of thebrightest futures of any knownlife work.

Why Osteopathy?(Continued from Page 1)

uous work in spite of the de-pression has been that of thephysician, and while it is true'his income may have been re-duced, yet it has been sufficientfor support and his business stillremains an independent one.

The independence of one'swork in life cannot be overstress-ed.' The professions offer thismore than any other field ofwork. A profession is not ser-iously affected by the fluctua-tions of the business world andin spite of all adversities thatmay occur, a physician is stillhis own boss and maintains hisown business in his own way.

The science of Osteopathy hasalways appealed to the alert,virile type of young man andyoung woman, probably becauseits practice is of a physical na-ture and its laws are based uponsimple physical, mechanical andchemical facts. The practice ofOsteopathy requires a keen, an-alytical mind, reasoning fromcause to effect based upon pro-ven facts and not all theory. Infact, the entire advancement ofOsteopathy in the past sixty

years has been due to the in- dances for young persons.dividual practitioners success in It is impossible to enumeratedemonstrating the efficacy of his further the manifold advantagessystem of therapeutics where of attending college in Desothers have failed. Moines. Let us invite you to

Teaching Osteopathy

(Continued from Page 1)pia yet it charts a plan for theiractivity.

The college presents -a well de-signed and built structure. TheLocation is ideal from all angles.It is near the center of the city,thereby accomodating studentswho are employed; it is of easyaccess to clinic and is in closerelationship to the business andprofessional interests of thecity.

The environment of a studentis a large factor in determiningwhat the finished product willbe. The city of Des Moines fur-nishes an ideal setting as an en-vironment for educating one'sself for a professional career. Itaffords advantages along educa-tional lines outside of the col-lege, that is, forums, lectures,concert music, operas, plays andmotion pictures. The churchesand civic organizations may playa large role in the student's so-cial and cultural life.

The college directs its effortsin organizing and conducting aneducational institution in whichall departments, didactic, labor-atory, practical and clinic aregiven equal consideration. Inother words, it strives for an in-stitutional equilibrium, not onelong on laboratories, for in-stance, at the expense of effi-cient didactic work or clinic.

In plassing we may say thatour adequately equipped labora-tories are designed to aid thestudent in his investigation andresearch in the basic science sub-jects; anatomy, histology, phy-siology, chemistry, biology, path-ology and bacteriology. They arethereby a potent factor ingrounding the facts of the didac-tic phases of the subjects pre-sented by lectures, quizzes andvisual instruction. The latter ismade possible by micro- andopaque projectoscope and thelantern. This mode of instruc-tion affords a highly effectiveavenue for imparting informa-tion.

Corrolated with the teachingof basic subjects are those ofthe fundamentals and principlesunderlying the philosophy ofOsteopathy. Allow me to quotefrom our literature our presen-tation of the Osteopathic phaseof instruction: "This courseconsists of daily lectures on theprinciples and philosophy of Os-teopathy, and demonstrations indiagnosis and the laws of phy-sics and mechanics. the humanbody is dealt with as a machineand treated from the standpointof levers, pulleys, the wedge, thescrew, hydraulics, chemistry,forces, etc. We wish to empha-size that our endeavor is to re-duce every treatment to a math-ematical demonstration of theabove laws, based upon an exactdiagnosis from the same stand-point; tracing every effect to theboney lesion cause.
