Morgan town. W. Va„ June.—A ]
pressing demand for physicians who
live and practice in rural communi
ties is the moit important problem
confronting \Vest Vaginia, according
to the authorities of the school of
medicine of the University of West
Virginia here.
Summerville, the county seat of
Nicholas county, does not have a
doctor, and Clay county has only
one to look after the people living
in its 322 square miles. In some of
the other counties, many people live
from ID to 20 miles from the near
est physician, and in some of the
mountain counties it has been found
almost impossible to get doctors to
make visits into the country dis
tricts. On the other hand, the cities
of the state are very well equipped
with medical men, Charleston, the
capital, with a population of 39,
G09. having 102.
"It is not always (rue that the
city or town doctor makes more
money than the country doctor,"
says a statement by Dean Simpson
of the School of Medicine. "Country
people do not object to paying good
fees for medical attention. They us
ually are glad to get it at any price."

of ruby velvet, banded to the length
of its considerable train, with Kol
issky bell shaped sleeves, also fur
banded, and had streamers of velvet
which lent both grace and majesty
to the robe. A floor length of deep
cream lace was visible from the knee
down.
