Osteopaths Return From Lancaster Convention
Harrisburg osteopathic physicians have returned from the Pennsylvania Osteopathic Association meeting held last week in Lancaster. It was the largest gathering yet with prominent doctors from this and other states in attendance. A highlight was Australian Thomas Skeyhill’s banquet address recounting his regained sight after war injuries and two years of blindness. The group laments President Wilson’s failure to grant osteopaths Army hospital practice rights, arguing they could have treated many soldiers.

Captain Jack Alcock of the Vickers-Vimy plane announced plans to test the craft next Thursday and attempt the trans Atlantic flight for the $50,000 prize if weather allows. Locals doubt the timing as rain-soaked fields hinder preparations and no relief in sight. Admiral Mark Kerr, also vying for the prize, will return to Harbor Grove but wet weather may delay his attempt.
