NOW TESTING AEROPLANE FOR ATLANTIC FLIGHT Atlantic City, N. J., June 24. The 3,300 delegates to the American Med ical association today attended many sectional meetings arranged for an exchange of view on public health. This year's session has already taken higher ground with regard o reeom- mendations than any previous year. A higher standard for entrance Into medical schools, is one o the recom mendations. More general co-operations of the practitioner with the lay- man Is another. Unrelenting war on nostrums Is still another. Probably the most radical vet Is that nubile welfare would be conserved If every Petitions man, woman and child were to be subjected" to a compulsory examina tion at to physical fitness once a year. The Infant Incubator has been more of a failure than a success, Dr. E. Chapln. of New York, reported In a paper before the section on dis eases of children. Out of 150 personal experiences with tho Incubator for Infants, he could not report one sat isfactory result. Dr. M. P. Ravnnal of Madison, Wis., before the section of preventive medicine and public health, discussed the plan of public examination ns a preventive disease.
