Dr. John Barr Stevens, of Stroud Green Road, N., successfully sued John Dunkley, of Trinder Road, Crouch Hill, at Clerkenwell County Court for £3 10s. for medical services to Dunkley's landlady.

Dr. Stevens had described how he treated the woman for bursitis ("second cousin to 'housemaid's knee' as the Re- gistrar put it).

These proceedings were exten- sive," said Dr. Stevens. "I had to wash my hands before and after treating the wound. I thought al- together that I was charging reason- ably."

SHANTUNG BOMBING

Hsuchow, Mar. 14. Various important stations on the northern secilon of the Tientsin- Pukow railway have been subjected to severe aerial bombings by Japanese during the last few days.

Numerous civilians were killed and houses were wounded, while many demolished.

Three bomb were dropped on a theological seminary established by an American missionary at Tenghaten, while four landed on a German Catholic Church. Over 20 people were reported to have been killed or, wounded at these two points.-Cen- tral News.

SHENJI TOWN RAIDED

Shanghai, Mar. 14. At a Japanese press conference this morning, it was announced that one of the longest air raids of the war was carried out on Nancheng in the extreme south-west of Shensi, near the-Szechuen. border... The Japanese.

Do you really seriously suggest; that in a case of this sort the loclor applies his mind, so far as fees are concerned, to the washing of his hands? It is,a part of the thing.

The Registrar: I have never heard a famous surgeon adds ten guineas such a suggestion. I suppose, then, to his fee as a charge for preparing for an operation?-He may do so.

"Then I repeat," and the Registrar (referring to a recent remoric he made in court about "The Citadel," by Dr. Cronin) "that a certain book about doctors may not be allogether wrong."

Dr. Stevens: I am not responsible for the book.

NOT EXORBITANT Dr. Martin, Joseph Healy, the patient con- family doctor of the cerned, said he thought Dr. Stevens had made a very good job of the

arm.

Glving judgment for Dr. Stevens with cost, the Registrar said there was no foundation for the suggestion that the doctor caused any unneces sary pain or suffering.

Eliminating from my mind Dr. Stevens statement that he took washing his hands into considera- tion, it scerns to me that there is no Justification for the suggestion that his charges are exorbitant."
