About 986 percent of medical students hmc '\tl least three years of college preparation and about 76 percent have baccalaureate degrees, At its meet- ing of October 27, 1942, the Association of American Medical Colleges expressed its willingness to accept two years of college preparation. Though this is regarded as inadequate, the Army would reduce it 6till. further to less than four semesters of accelerat- #d instruction. The conflict that has arisen deserves far more public attention than it has recefved | An army of 11,000,000 will need at least 71.500 doctors—more than half of those in actual practice. To obtain these and still leave enough for primte practice presents a problem which naturally causes much concern to both the Procurement and Assign- ment Service and the Association of American Medi- cal Qolleges. The solution cannot be found in the Army’s proposal without lowering the high standards of medical education. As it is, the performance of | students is admittedly not so good as it once was, | partly bbcause the abolition of vacations and long hotirs of study have manifested themselyes in fatigue | and staleness, partly because of the drain of the armed forces on medical faculties.

HEART AND HOME: Women |should be cautious under this con- figuration which is most unfavor- !nblc for them. Success in novel | occupations belonging to war in- dustries will cause discussion con- cerning equal pay. Jealousies may | be prevalent in certain planu‘ where the introduction of girls is objectionable to old employes. The stars however appear to presage adjustments of misunderstandings. Tact. and diplomacy, silence and efficiency will win approval and friendship among men. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers who have predicted. radical modification in international finan- cial system warn American bankers extreme tests next year when the full meaning of | war will be expressed in the great-| est national debt in all history.

On the committee in charge were John Reck, M. L. Stepp and W. R. Garster Everything about the dance was to be Irish, decorations, music and hall. Willard L. Bradley, resident engineer for the Glacier Highway with the U. S. Bureau of Roads, had resigned his position with the bureau and was to leave for the South on the Princess Mary on his way to San Francisco, where he planned to enter other business. Mrs. Bradley lnnd their little son were to accompany him. Definite information was received by Gov. Scott C. Bone that the Brooklyn Eagle Touring Party was to reach Juneau on July 3. Two years previously the Eagle had conducted a tour to Hawaii and the previous year to South America. P. R. Bradley, General Manager of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company, and in charge of the Treadwell interests in the North, was expected to return to his headquarters in Juneau about April 1. He had been examining some of the Bradley properties in the West and then had gone to California. A memorial introduced in both Houses of the Legislature was de- signed to secure Alaskan former service men land grants from Congress covering 160 acres of land on the unappropriated public land in the Territory. * Speaker of the House Cash Cole appointed Representatives Raelson, Murray, Johnston, Wilson and Callahan as House members of the joint committee which would make an inspection of the Pioneers’ Home in Sitka. No members had yet been named by President Hunt of the Senate. Weather forecast was snow or rain. Maximum temperature was 35 and minimum was 32. f Daily Lessons in English % 1. corpon b e —— ) WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, “I laid down to rest.” Say, “I LAY down to rest.” The past tense of LIE (to recline) is LAY, not LAID. .

If one were introducing a woman to the president or ruler of some | country, shouldn’t she be presented to him? A. Yes; in such a case, the woman is presented to the man. Q. When a man and a girl are dancing, and another man wishes to “cut in,” is it permissible for either the girl or her partner to refuse? A. It is extremely rude to do so, and very embarrassing to the other | man. | Q Would five cents be sufficient to tip for a fifty-cent meal? | A. No. Ten per cent is all right when the amount is more than a | dollar, but ten cents is considered the minimum tip for a meal. Other- | wise, it is better not to give any. LOOK and LEARNA C.
