The bell of the telephone on tha wall tinkled and a tense Voice came over the wire: "That you, doctor? * reckon the time has come. How soon kin you get here?" r Ten miles of unspeakable mire, and the horses tired from a long day's work! "All right, Jed, I'll be along as soon as I can. Probably take me a couple of hours, the way the roads are, but I'll do my best. Hang a lantern on the gatepost so I won't drive paat, or have to strain my neck watching for your place when I can't see anything at all. Tell the ^ife to keep up her courage and everything will be all right." The Medical Pocket Quarterly is telling all about it. And then two hours of that particular brand of Sheol about which most of the youngsters in medicine know only by hearsay, and don't half believe, at that, though such roads are still to ?>e found, in a mitigated form, in some remote sections, even todny. It was a girl! Two decades later; and another anxious husband wanted the doctor in a hurry. He had phoned, as soon as the emergency arose, of course, but his house was miles off the concrete highway and the roads were nonetoo-good. It would take the medico _ an hour and a half, the best his auto could do. The doctor must be u little bit nutty, the husband opined too, because when he answered the call he had said: "All right, Bill. I'll be- there as soon as I can. Hang a bedsheet on the windmill." Queer thing *lo do; but then it's a pretty good idea to do what the doctor tells you. After the sheet was hung and the wife encouraged a litttle, Bill thought he'd call again to see if the doctor had started; but just as he was about to take down the receiver he heard the roar of a motor. Of course, it couldn't be the doctor, in that length of time, but he'd take a look. It was the doctor, though, just "sitting down" in the "oast forty alongside of the big barn! He had flown to the assistance of those who looked to him for. help! The first physician in the world to buy an airplane and use ft Tegularly in making professional calls was Dr. Frank A. Brewster, of Holdredge, Kan. That was back in 1M9, when few planes were for sale and no hangars and few aviation mechanics were available. Curious neighbors were a serious nuisance to the "flying doctor" in those days. In the twelve years since that momentous first purchase, Dr. Brewster has used about as many planes, which have cost him, altogether, around $50,000. He now has three in service, to be prepared for emergencies, and says that the whole idea has proven a good investment, as he has been able to turn off a mass of work that, otherwise, would have been wholly impossible. His hours in the air run well into four figures. Dr. Brewster can. of course, fly his own planes, but mostly ho doesnt. It would take too much of his energy, which he needs for more momentous matters. So he hires a sane and reliable pilot, who has eliminated all the air-foolishness from biiv system. The Brewster planes do about as much "stunting" as the Twentieth Century Limited. Moreover, as the Doctor plans to keep on with his practice for some years yet, the best .planes that money can buy are none too good to keep the life insutance people m good humor. Good planes, flown sanely, are the secret of not cracking up. 1 >r. Brewster operates two hospital-. in towns 135 miles apart, a- the auto go*--, and flies the 11<> bee-line milt-s between them practically every day. j He i<n't a wealthy man. according to the banker's figure-'', because most I of his nr"f:?s t make his servicei {more effort. ^ I But in that u?-??.?-rn country, where J a hedsheet fa-:< r.ed to the windmill jcoming t>> he a familiar sight, he | has aniH'-e 1 a -tore of human love land gratitude that make him rich beyond counting, in those intangible a-set> which art . as a matter of fact, the only things that last.

Although hp. has been absent from Mexico for seven years he maintains a keen Interest in the political and economical events there end hopes some day to return nnd devote his tlme> to bettering conditions "of the poor class," He said the outlook for the Mexican people Is "gloomy." Vallejo discussed the events preceding his Might from Mexlca when General Calles and Adolfo de la lluerta were beginning their campaigns for the ('residency in 1023. lie said he supported l>e la Huerta and events followed In quick succession. The governor soon ordered the execution of the hoard members of the De la Huerta party in Campeche," Vallejo said.

Life on Border Shows Change in Forty Years I?1 I'nso, Texas.?ltorder life wus much different forty years ago than it is today. Here are some of the recollections of E. Strauss, who now lives In Juarez. Mexico, across the border from ,E1 I'aso. Forty years ago, according to Strauss: You went to Juarez In a mule-drawn car. You Insulted your girl friend If you took her into a cafe. There were three saloons in Juarex and scores In El Paso (it's much different today). Gambling was allowed in Juarez hut once a year, but EI Paso was "wide open." .o?Vice of every description flourished In El Paso, hut Juarex.residents were unconcerned about it. Juarez had n population of nbout 15,000 persons; El Paso about 8,000. Americans took girls to Juarez to high-class dances nnd parties. It wns a disgrace for a girl to he seen In a saloon. Americans did all their drinking on the American side. "Yes. sir. those were the days," sighed Strauss. Motors Killed 34,000 in U. S.

Hough on the old Chesterfield road a short distance beyond Dwight brought profound sorrow to thousands in thia county on Saturday afternoon when the car in which he was riding collided with a truck driven Harley Barr. A negro boy named Leonard George was driving Doctor Hough's car at the time of the accident and the coroner's jury which investigated the death held th*$ the accident was caused by the inexperience of the colored boy as a driver and they exonerated Barr from any blame as to the accident. iDr. Hough was called to attend Barkley Stogner early Saturday afternoon as Mr. Stogner had suffered injury when the limb of a tree which he was cutting fell upon him. The accident occurred as Dr. Hough and the negro boy were only about twenty yards from the Stogner home. The road at this place was fairly wide and two cars could pass easily but for some reason or other the negro boy evidently pulled over to the wrong side of the road. There' was some contradictory evidence at the inquest as to how fast the negro boy was driving but Leonard George and Mr, Barr said that the Plymouth coupe in which Dr. Hough was riding was not going more than 25 or 30 miles per hour when the collision occurred. It is probable that the car slowed up considerably as they were about to their destination when the accident occurred. Mr. Barr testified that the Plymouth car was wobbling from one side of the road to another as though the driver was drunk. The truck was also travelling at only an average rate of speed, Witnesses testified as to seeing Dr. Hough hurled from the car into the field at the side of the roatf. His forehead was crushed and a fracture of the skull was observed. Ho lived for about twenty minutes after reaching the Lancaster hospital where he was taken in the Parr ambulance. The negro boy, Leonard George, testified at the inquest that he was not experienced as a driver and that he did not have a driver's license. He said that when he and the doctor started out from Lancaster he was told by the doctor that he would be taught to drive. Dr. Hough drove the car out of the city but turned the wheel over to the boy as they got out from town. He said that as they approached the Stogner place that I>ootor Hough told him to slow down. Although the boy did not say that he had trouble in steering the car it is possible that the tire on the left front side of the car may have blown out and caused the car to swerve and .to have made the driver lose control of the machine. There was a tear in the inner tube of this tire although there was no abrasion on the outside as ,the full force of the collision was made on the tire on the right front side. Dr. Hough died without regaining consciousness. Just as they were about to crash the negro boy said that the doctor exclaimed "My God" and then they collided. Because of his generous nature and friendliness Dr. Hough was loved by thousands in this county. He will be missed here where he was a familiar figure on the streets. Because of his many acts of kindness and his generosity he will long be rememborod. Just a day or two before his death he rode bare back on a mule for four miles to reach a, patient in one of the out-of-the-way places in the county. It is said that Dr. Hough had a premonition of death and he talked about something happening to hem or. the morning that the tragedy occurred. He had made such statements on many occasions formerly.?
