BECOMING A DOCTOR 1§ A LONG TABK In-the old days, learning how to be a doctor was something like lesrning how to be a:lawyer. The young aspirant studied for a year or 8o in & medical college, got wsome practical experience as assistant to a physician—and then he was ready to_hang out his shingle. It's a different matter now. Long years of study are necessary, as well "as the expenditure of a great deal of money. It's a complicated ' _and no young man can afford to ‘ make the start without knowing ex- actly what's ahead of him. With graduation time in high school and college approaching, this question is uppermost in the minds of thousands of young people. To answer it, The Herald has asked Dr. Marris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, to write a series of six articles, telling just what the steps are in fitting one's self for the medical prefession. F: 4 These articles tell just how much . time the procedure takes, how much: money it costs and what the pros- . pective docter can expect to earn in hia first years of practice. They are 1o time and, of course, authoritative, The first of them will ajpear Monday eon ths Woman's Page. Watch for it.

ALASKAN JUSTICE REALLY HAS WINGS ndgs Uses Pane o Hold Court Fairbanks, Alaska, June 1. P— “Winged justice™ has ceased to be & mere figurs of speech in Alaska. It is an actuality, Alagka's “floating court,” which visits the islands and other remote places along the wild, rocky coast, long has been famous, and now the “flying court” has been firmly estab- lished in the interior. The “flying court” is that of the fourth judicial district, which n. ‘cludes central and northern Alasks, and has its seat at Fairbanks. Be. fore the advent of commercial fly- ing, steamboat, gas-boat and row- boat furnished means of transporta- tion in summer, and dog teams in winter, but now legal proceedings are speeded by air. % The tirst official trip was'made by air in 1926 when the court and at- tendants flew to Wiseman, 150 miles wtihin .the Arctic circle. It was the first term of United Statea’ district court ever held there because of the remoteness of the place. The trip was made 1n ‘2 hours and 4§ minutes. By boat. it would have re- quired two weeks. The airplane now is in general use of the court, and officials of the district attorney's office and the United States marshal's office make requent trips to remote sections to bring in prisoners and witnesses. Recently a deputy marshal flew from ‘Fairbanks to Ruby and re- turned an insane woman. The trip required six hours flying time, where the same journey by deg team would have required 22 days.

June 1 (UP)—Ggbriel Tornell last his right leg when he was 16 years old but instead of turn- ing into an invalid he became an athiete.

Barely Eacaped Death For days Tornell was on the verge ofs dying and for weeks afterw: the wound caused him agony. Fini ly, the amputation, and Tornels, one leg gone, his body shattered by the catastrophe was an invalid. “First,” he sald, "I made up my mind that I must live. Then [ de- termined that I would mnot be an irvalid. I decided that my calamity a challenge to my spirit and, fighting it out within myself, my courage returned.” 8o important to Tornell was the conquest over his infirmity that he now believes many invalids could restore themselves to normal if they fostered the growth of their wills and’made up their minds to con- quer hardship. Able to’ walk on crutches, Tornell went to the Mcxico City Y. M. C. A. immediately after he had emerged trom the hospital and began the slow, almost heart-breaking process of ‘building himself anew. He start- ed with calisthenics and with a strength born of desperation gradu- ally developed a pair of arms and shoulders that were Herculean. Then followed trials at the paral- lel bars and other gymnasium appa- rutus. As his balance on one foot'; became more perfect, he tried other sports, and often to his own sur- prise® learned quickly. Champion Pistol Shot Within nine years his skill had developed so that he gave his first public exhibition in 1921 at a Cen- tennial celebration. Diplomats and delegations of Americans who came to Mexico especially for the celebra- tion wére among the thousands to see- the remarkable one-legged man perform amasing feats of strength and agility. The year before this exhibition Tornell had won the pistol-shooting championship of Mexico in a com- petition at the Military College. At the moment, Tornell’s great in- terest is in his work as playground director. The plan of the federal dietrict authorities calls for the con- struction of 28 playgrounds. At pres- ent there are only four. The task of obtaining equipment for these parks and training assist- ants to aid Tornell apparently will be an undertaking of several years. “It can be done if we only have the spirit,” Tornell says, adding,—"My ideal is to develop real sportaman- ship among the youth of Mexico.
