(Down Stairs Store, Gallery, at Thirteenth and Market St.) $25 $23.50 $15 $16.50 By RICHARD J. BEAMISH Every person desiriD? to practice the healing of human brings in Pennsylvania, whether ly medicine, surgery, or any othur form of treatment, will be duly examined and if found sufficiently educated and tiualilied. ordiDg to the tenets of his particular school, will be certificated n-rnl antliorr ized by law, if a bill sponsored by phyeicians representing niedical societies is passed by th" Legislature. All persons so certificated would be required to register every year.

These proposed drastic changes in the State laws governing the practice medicine were discussr in a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Aldine Hotel, of the Medical Legislative Conference of lVnn-ylvania. composed of physicians representing the Pennsylvania Medical Society, the Pennsylvania Momeopathic Society and the Kcleetic Society of Pennsylvania. Two bills are being prepared lor submission to the rext Legislature by Kepresentative James A. Walker, of this city. "The object of the bill regulating examinations and admissions to practice," explained Dr.

tJoorge A. Knowles, of this city, president of the conference, "is to create one board containing representatives of all recognized methods, which shall examine applicants who have complied with specified educational requirements. Education Main Factor TThese. requirements shall be the fame as those now specified in State legislation for licensure as practitioners according to allopathic, homeopathic or osteopathic teaching. These call for a four years' high school course, one year of preparatory medical etndy, four years of college work and one year's service as interne in a hospital.

"The Conference takes the stand that education is the main factor for the protection of the public. If a roan or woman goes through these prescribed years of preparation there will come a measure of intelligence whether the college be a medical institution or a voodoo school. If tbv candidate passes the tests which will probe his general education and his knowledge of the particular cult he wishes to practice, Lae will be authorized to operate, prescribe medicinally, rub or powwow, according to bis fancy. "Wo are taking this action because Pennsylvania is overrun with charlatans of little education, whose ignorant practice of various hearing ideas is taking toll of human lives and causing great suffering. I have checked up thirty-nine cults in which healers work.

The damage that is wrought by some of these is appalling. I have in mind a case in which an ignorant man broke as he termed it. a cancer. "What he did was to send the disease broadcast through the system, removing whatever chance the patient had of cure through operation upon the affected locality. "I have been told by a hex doctor 5n Lancaster that he can bring five hundred persons to testify to cures worked by him through sheer voodoo-ism.

That is a sample of the way the public is fooled. Goiters are kneaded broken with disaster to the patient. Persons suffering with appendicitis are massaged until their condition becomes hopeless.

This association represents many of the business firms located along Chestnut street.

The letter follows: "Pear Mr. Kendrick i "At a meeting of the board of directors of the Chestnut Street Association, held March 13, 102-1, a resolution was passed unanimously, congratulating the Mayor on his formulation of progressive plans for the development of our city and expressing the association's approval of bis determination to enforce all laws and ordinances strictly and impartially.

Earnest Actors Meet Rebuffs The Hedgerow Theatre of Rose Valley, announced for a third Philadelphia repertory engagement this week, cancelled its performance for last night at the Playhouse of the Plays and Players, formerly the Little Theatre, and announces that neither of the scheduled Saturday performances will be given. This action has been taken by the organization on the grounds that the interest of Philadelphia audiences in the Hedgerow Theatre type of repertory work, though genuine and warm during the company's previous city engagements, is at present not sufficiently solid or wide-spread to warrant the offering of regular repertory productions of the Hedgerow standard. Jasper Deeter, the director, is taking his organization back to its home theatre in the country, there to continue the work of building company and repertory in preparation for its spring and summer season, in Rose Valley.
