Vigorous and far-reaching but quite efforts are being made bv leaders In the medical profession in North Carolina to strengthen ttu sentiment within the state legisla ture in favor of the pendingpro posal fo authorize the sale of whis key by licensed drug stores on phy sicians' prescriptions for medicinal purposes, according to incomplete reports obtained today from several well informed sbarccs here. Dr. A. J. Crowell, president of the State board of health, is one of the leaders In this movement, whieli took definite form about six months ago. Dr. Crowell is the only prominent member ot the pro-* fesston identified with this move ment. who lias ‘'come into the open" and he appn -ently is the leader of the politically strong North Carolina Medical society's in terested members. The support that the doctors of North Carolina have given the pro hibition laws consistently since en actment of the eighteenth amend ment and tlie Volstead law is not lessened by the advocacy of the Person bill, according to expres sions of opinion by physicians here, each of whom, however, desired to avoid, at least .for the present, be ing quoted on this subject The chief aim of the physicians ap parently is to make the North Caro lina laws conform to the national law, under the provisions of which about 28 states now permit the pre scription of whiskey for "medicinal purposes, available reports indicat ed. The continuing influenza epi demic has had the effect of em phasizing more definitely than hardly any other way rould have been done the need of whiskey for medicinal purposes at certain times, said recognized leaders here in this profession. The impression seems to exist generally among Charlotte’s doctors that rather large quantities of blockade whiskey have been used in connection with individuals' self treatment of influenza. ~ Imposition of a license tax by the state government of some amount, which might vary from $25 to $100, on drug stores serving as authorized depots for medicinal whiskey would be a means of assist ing in raising additional fund for the state equalization fund for public schools, according to comments ob tain'd from several well-known physicians here, in this connection. Dr. John Q. Mvers. former president of the State Medical society, speak ing iR an individual, said that such a possible tax could oe made a rather important benefit to the' school system. He refrained from making at 'hi* time nublic com ment concerning his attitude to ward the medicinal whiskey pro posed.

On Ccr tain screened porches arc groups of patients, some of them-oddly attir ed. talking to themselves or pacing up mu! down. Around these diver tissements. the visitors cluster, gog gling piseatorially. munching gum and eating apples. Momentarily,, one expects peanuts to be thrown , through the meshes.

As a matter of (art. such delusions are extremely rare. The writer has seen probably six thousand it.sane per sons and never has seen one who believed lie was Napoleon. Instances of lndentification with famous per sons do occur, but unfortunately they are rare. Tf. Instead of the many cases or imbecility, terrible depressions and deteriorations that really form the mental hospital, pa tients could not believe that they were famous and wealthy, they would be a; happy and easy to han dle as any pudgy matron who fan cies herseh as the real Lillian Gish. ' "One cannot, of course, blame the present generation for this ignor ance and heartlessness. For many years, insanity lias born one of tlje standbys of the communal clowns who write the shows, do turns in vaudeville and draw comic strips. “The psychology is, of course, ele mentary. Muddling along through a vaguely perceived and little-compre hended world, the average citizen is rejoiced to find one in worse case than himself. Here is one from whom, he thinks.

Colorado Plan To Save On Schools Denver, Ctlo. A plan to rave the taxpayers of Colorado thousands ol dollars was recently put under way by advocates i f a consolidation of the state's schools of higher learn ing. - Colorado supports six coll y . or universities in w hich, it v as pointed out. courses of stilly are duplicated at great expense to I tie taxpayers. The School of Mines ornrated par ticularly for the training if engi neers and offers exclusively courses in engineering and chemistry. A Colorado university -and Colorado Agricultural college these courses i are duplicated to a certain extent. Under the proposed plan, Colorn - i do Aggies, School of Mines, Western j State college, the State Normal at. 1 Alamosa and the Agricultural col lege at Fort Lewis would bo abolish ed and reorganized as departments of the University of Colorado. All state schools except the Uni versity of Colorado could he abolish ed by the state legislature because they were formed by amendments to the Constitution. The University was created by the granting of a charter; therefore any change in its organization would have to go to the people for vote.
