LOYD GEORGE has gone a long, long way since the “khaki election” which put him in office. His present plan for financing German rehabilitation and production is vastly different in spirit from his rather recent demand for 800 war-guilty Germans. There seems every reason to believe that his pres- ent proposals are more ‘sincere and practical than his _ Certainly the present scheme will arouse much less antagonism than Sir George Paish’s recent proposals.

To the Editor of The Evening World: The letter of William B, H., which appeared in The Evening World of Feb, 27, relating to income exemption for dependent children, is a timely one. There are so many cases where the exemption of $200 for each dependent child is so inadequate and so unfair that it is indeed strange that the press or the representatives of the people have not championed the cause for a more fair adjustment of this phase of the income tax.

MAKE FRIENDS—BUT DON’T DEPEND ON THEM. The man who doesn’t make friends isn’t worth his salt. Man is a social animal. He needs friends to talk to—and to listen to. They are, the solace of his leisure hours. They are his confidants in his time of trouble. - Without them he might as well be an outcast on a desert island. Make all tie friends you can, At best you will make but a few, for there will be but few men who will take you at your own value, and have enough interest. in common with you to be really your friends, But never use friendship as a means of advancement. Put business on a business basis, Be independent of friendship in your work. Ad- vancement obtained through friendship is obtained through favor. And what is obtained through favor is of no value. Never make the mistake of depending on a friend in a business relationship. Often your friend can and will help you. But that sort of help is not the help you want. Sooner or later, if you are going to get anywhere, you will discover that you must depend on yourself, and your- self alone. Your friends can advise you, they can sympathize with you, they can if they are honest point out your mistakes to you—provided you are big enough to let them. But neither by lending you money nor securing you po- sitions or promotions can they be of any true value to you. If they are rich and powerful, they will assist you not use of your deserts but because of their liking for you. Through such assistanee you will get a false idea of your importance, of your worth in the world. And when you wake up some morning and see your- self in your true lights you are going to be sadly disillu- sioned. Make friends and keep them, Make them, if you can, among men of different callings, so that you can exchange ideas with them and broaden yourself. bee: Interest yourself in what they are doing, and interest them in what you are doing. Spend your leisure with them, Enjoy their ‘comradeship. But never depend on them, Friendship was not meant for a ladder by which to climb to higher places in the world, It is too sacred for that, night, but is due to twenty-five years /had the guts and gumption to make of intelligently organized effort on at step in the true path of the part of millions of citizens who | pr comprise the real moral force of the nation.

WILIZAM J. SEDGMAN, % Madison Avenue, Muten ¥ 1920, Where to Find’ Your Vocation By Max Watson. Soma et tree, Pane | Medical Professinn. Opportuni for Entering ‘This Professinn.—The young man whe con- siders tne practice uf medicine as a future vocatfun should realize that here is no profession, which renders a greater service to sdciety and fom which society demands more. Unless there is a real calling of service for which the young man is willing to overcome many hardships and work unceasingly with comparatively amall reward this profession should not be vonsidezed. The medical profession may be di- vided into the four schools as fol- lows: 1, The Regular School—This in- dudes the greater percentage of doc- tors and its teaching and method have yeen handed down from the days of Hippocrates, the father of medicine. The treatment of disease is based upon the clinical evidence of such treatment as secured through observa~ jon v3 previous cases. The method ‘8 purely empirical and the deductions nust have a scientific basis. This i the school to which we owe our’ ad- vancement in experimental medicine and surgery. 2. Homoeopathic School. This school was originally founded as a protest against the strong medicine given by the regular.doctor, The homoeopath gives medicine in very small doses and usually by means of sugar pills. The treatment of the sicknesses of children is an important part of the practice of the homoeo- path, 3, The Eciectic School. This school was founded for much the same reason as the homoeopathic schgoi, The eclectic treats the patient ac- cording to his symptoms more than according to the disease. Most of the medicines used are prepared from plants. Animal serums are used but | very little, 4. Osteopathy. This is the newest schoo! and treats largely through chanical adjustment. The theory ad- vanced” 1 that most sickness caused by an impingement of the nerves of the spine or limbs and if this ean be corrected the disturbances will be overcome. Most osteopaths now practising are doing well and it is a field that offers a good oppor- tunity, Other than these recognized schools, there are many unlicensed practitioners whoge method of cure is usually based upon mental treat- ment, The following survey of field is taken from ‘Medicine a Profession,” by Daniel W. and E, W. Weaver: 1. Private practice in the city or country. 2. Government service in the army, navy, marine hospitals, public health, pension service, Indian service, Phil- ippine service, &c. 3. State or municipal service in health departments, food and drug inspection, vital statistics, sanitary work, institutional and school ser- vice. 4. County service as health officer, physicians to the poor or coroners, 5. Corporation service as a plant physician looking after the treatment of injuries and sickness of employees. 6. Special research work as con- ducted by laboratories similar to the . Rockefeller laboratories. 7. Fraternal service as the physi- cian for insurance company or fra- ternal brotherhoods. Schooling.—Nearly all medical col- leges demand from one to two years of college training in certain subjects before entrance upon a regular four- year course of medicine. Restrictions are becoming more exacting and only the young man who will apply him- self faithfully can expect to pass in good standing. Study by No means ceases with graduation, New methods and dis- coveries must be followed and time allowed for special research work. I has been figured that a medical edu- cation will cost from $3,500 to $4,000. About 3,500 new physicians graduate ach yen average inoome of the sicians throughout. the after three years’ practice is tbout $1,800 a year. After ten years it is about $4,500. Many physicians are ‘barely able to make a living, while others have incomes ranging from $25,000 to $75,000 a year. ‘The proper location is important In_pri- vate practice and must be considered carefully by the newly graduated physician. Physicians in public serv. lee receive from $2,500 to $4,000, as a rough average, Department heads ive from $7,500 to $12,000 jeations.—Tho following is en by a distinguished physician: You must bring with you keen eyes and accurate ears; a great gift for ob- tion; patience, and yet more patience for endless study: a clear, critical mind; an iron will ‘strength- ened by opposition, but yet a warm and tender heart, comprehending and feeling every sorro reverent spirit nd austerity tha jor to sensu- country ality, mon ninence; furthor- more, a de appearance, polished deme? adroit fingers and health ra of body and soul.” Remarks—An exhaustive study of this Vocation is given in the book by Mr. Weaver, mentioned above, ‘This book contains a complete bibliograph and 4 list of all schools. we —_ Irrigation in Egypt.
