effort would be amply compensated by the results.

With regard to the Orient, Dr. Geiger said that Public Health Service was one of the biggest pro- blems China has to face and that if he had five years of his life to spare he would rather spend it out here in China doing public health service. "This is provided I am given the money and facility and absolutely responsibility and no political interference, "he said.

There was notice saying "No spitting allow ed" with a penalty of $5. She called the conductor to ask if that regulation was enforced and the man replied "God Bless You, no Spit where you like."

Dr. Wellington said that it was one thing to tell people what not to do and quite another to im press them with what they should do.

That's Different. Mr. Jones began the mid- looking, young man,
