Baltimore. Md.--The growth of medical science in the last 50 years has radically changed the prerequisites. subject matter, methods, duration and cost of medical education, declares anj; article on training physicians in a report isaued by the Rockefeller Foundation. Knowledge and the technique of Its application have increased enormously. Demands on the time and energy of teachers have grown heavy and exacting. Expenses for laboratories, teaching hospitals, salaries and supplies have mounted rapidly. Under the new conditions the earlier apprenticeship system ha- disappeared, although close association between student and teacher Is valued and Is retained In the beat contemporary schools. The proprietary medical college manned and managed by a group of jpracticing physicians has been unable to maintain Itself In competition with privately endowed or publicly sup*: ported schools. Private practltlocers^ however, still constitute the great body of clinical teachers In most medical schools the world over. The new conditions, according to the article, have produced the typical modern center for teaching and Investigation -- the unified university medical school. In a stimulating scientific and cultural environment, controlling Its laboratories and hospitals, under the direction of lull time staffs To Back Medical School, Few university schools in the world have reached or approximated this standard. Tht tendency, however, In all advanced countries Is toward this university type. Traditional preconceptions, the vested Interests of practitioner professors, unfamlllarity with new Ideas and methods and lack of funds are the more obvious obstacles to progress. A leading aim of the Rockefeller Foundation. It says, ia to further the development of medical schools of the university type by diffusing Information, training personnel and, in Important centers, by making appropriations toward endowment or buflldings. or both.1 M" Predicts Change la Methods. To attempt to teach the medical student all that Is known r.bout health and disease is, on the face pf It, absurd, the writer points out There Is complaint already that too much is being forced upon him and that he has no time to think for himself. It Is agreed that an undergraduate medical course should not seek to give a complete education, but to ground the student In fundamentals of knowledge and technique and to Inspire In htm a scientific spirit and a sense of social obligation. These uecessary limitations are resulting In 'he development of graduate teaching. The time is coming, the writer predict*, when all surgical and other specialties and advanced laboratory work will be taught as graduate subjects. The raising of standards, with consequent lengthening of the medical course and its Increased cost to both individual students and to aoclety, gives rise to a number of serious questions, the article sets forth. Some advocate shortening the combined elementary and secondary school period by two years, to reduce the age at which a physician may begin his Deadly Snake Sent to Woman by Mall Peoriajll.--A poisonous snake fell upon the floor when Miss Susan Landers of this city opened a package she received In the mail.

Another suggestion la that more scholarships be granted to promising students. There is agitation for a shorter, less expensive type of training to maintain the supply of general practitioners, on the theory that many superficially trained doctors will settle in rural districts which now lack resident physicians. Many foresee a system of local hospitals serving surrounding areas by outpost dispensaries and visiting nurses. While some differentiation nay be expected between physicians who go into general practice immediately and those who pursue graduate studies In the specialties, there is no reason to suppose that in advanced countries standards of medical education will be lowered. The tendency at pfiait is in qultfe tKe opposite direction. AUSTRIA IS RECOVERING RAPIDLY FROM THE WAR General Financial Conditions Throughout Country Are Good. Austria la recovering rapidly, from the effects of the war, according to a cable received by the Department of Commerce from Trade Commissioner William Ford Upson at Vienna.

Vj 'j 'i * * *r Boston, Mass.--Much has been written lately about the simple tastes and unassuming wayfe of Calvin Coolidge, now President of the United States, and of Mrs. Coolidge, ai'd those who are well acquainted with them say this simplicity permeates their , life. When Coolidge was governor of Massachusetts he and Mrj. Coolidge made their home at the Adams house, and their regular waiter there, "Mac," who is known to many hundreds of Bostonians, told a writer for the Boston Sunday Advertiser a lot about their ga*trouomical tastes. Said he: "Their breakfust order .was always the same--^'Two Special No. l's, grapefruit for Mrs. Coolidge and orange for ine.' "Special No- 1 never varied. ; It consisted of two small pots of coffee, grnhaiu muffins and fruit. "Mr. Coolidge would give the order and call for a clean £htss and a whole orange. He would squeeze the orange himselt Intb the glass, and drink the juicu. 1 Silent at Meal*. Mrs. Coolidge always had half a grapefruit. "They were generally alone at breakfast, as their boys were at school and •>nly visited them in vacation time. Once, though, when the boys were there, they wanted ham and eggs for breakfast. Mrs. Coolidge ordered it for them, but when the governor found it out, he frowned on giving the kids meat for breakfast. "They were seldom at my table for lunch, as they were both often gone all day. But they "would be back for dinner, unless they were dining out. "Then Mrs. Coolidge used to order a chop--the way you do," Interpolated "Mac," who has an uncanny memory for the likes and dislikes of every one of Ills patrons. "Sometimes she would have a steak. But Mr. Coolidge always made his dinner on cereal--usually grape nuts and tea or milk. "He was just as quiet at their family meals as he Is In public life. Hardly ever said a word. Breakfast over, be would go away in silence ' "They seldom had guests, except Mr, and Mrs. Frank W. Stearns, who were with them frequently. "Sometimes there would be one or two others with them at dinner. On those occasions Mrs. Coolidge would try every way In the world to get him to join in the conversation. Nothing doing. He would look and listen, but hardly ever opened his mouth--except for his grape nuts. Once In a while ha would shoot a little smile--like this--* and for a fleeting instant "Mac" wa» the living image of the President. Lapsing back to his natural expression, which Is intense but amiable, "Mac" continued: ' He is a bard man to get at, If yon know what I mean. But when yon once do get at him, you find he haa one of the best hearts In the world. All Liked Mrs. Coolidge. "But for kindness and a charming manner combined, Mrs. Coolidge wal the one. Every waiter in the dining room liked to serve her. She was always considerate, always appreciative for anything done for her. If Mrs, Coolidge once knew you, she knew you everywhere, no matter where she happened to meet you. In the hotel corridor, or in the street, she would always bow. She's a fine woman. 'I used to look at those boys, and their good manners, and wonder how she djd it. But then, bringing up six. (Six little McKeoughs, remember). "I said to one of my boys the other day, 'Look at young Ca!vin Coolidge. His father's President of the United States, and he's looking for farm work at $3.50 a day.

OLD GOLD MINE YIELDS WEALTH TO AGED KANSAN Owner Recouping fortune , Which He Lost Thrice. Hays.

So Hays believes, and ruminates on the vagaries of clmnce. Yost built the first large flour mill in western Kansas. That was forty years ago. He had three In Hays. He was among the first big grain buyers and millers in western Kansas and made a fortune In the business despite three fires In which his mills and elevators were destroyed.

His next move was to Denver where he has been connected with different business enterprises with varying success. Now at seventy-four years of age. the touch of Midas has favored Yost again, but Hays has had only one Yost and knows him well, and. according to an old friend, "he may be 'broke' today and a millionaire tomorrow."
