PHYSICIANS RECOGNIZE
NEED OF DOCTORS

Raleigh, June 10. -Recogniz-
ing the imperative need Of more
medical men for the army and in
view of the fact that doctors are
holding back and not volunteer
ing as they should, the North
Carolina State Committee on
National Defense, medical see
ton, met in session here last
night and passed a resolution
recommending that the plan Of
selective draft in order to secure
adequate medical service for the
army be adopted by Congress,
This forward step on the part Of
the North Carolina Committee
was taken for two reasons: first,
because it would give. an ade-
quate medical service to the
army and, second, it would
relieve individual physicians of
the responsibility of decision.
The members of tine State
Committee who met in session
were Drs. j. w. Long and Chas.
Banner of Greensboro, Robt. L.
Gibbons and |. W. Faison of
Charlotte, II. F. Long of States
vile, NJ. II. Fletcher and J. NJ.
Lynch of Asheville, d. T. Tayloe
of Washington, Chas. O. II.
Laughinghouse of Greenville, B.
X. Hays of Oxford, H. A.
Royster and W. S. Rankin of
Raleigh, and M. H. Biggs of
Rutherfordton.
The action of the Committee
at this point was not influenced
altogether from the fact that
North Cardinals list of medical
is far below her
quote, but for the fact that the
whole country is falling short OF
what is expected of her or is
needed in the way of medical
care for her soldiers. Out of the
100000 doctors in the United
States, only about 2, 100 have ac-
cepted service. The number in
North Carolina to apply, not to
service, is about 300 out
Of about |, 700 or 1900 doctors. |
Right Honorable Arthur J. Bal
four, on his recent visit to Amer
lea, said that the greatest war
service this country could
render was the sending of
men Immediately to
France. He further urged that
America avoid the mistake made
by England of failing to provide
care for her soldiers at
the front.
The resolutions passed by the
committee are as follows:
WHEREAS, the justice,
wisdom, and effectiveness of the
selective draft have been recog-
nized by Congress in raising
strong army fromour civilian pop
ton, and
WHEREAS, the advantages
Of the selective draft apply with
equal force to securing adequate
service for the army:
therefore,
BE 1T RESOLVED, that we,
the North Carolina State Commit
tee on National Defense, Medical
Section, recommend to the Gen.
eral Medical Board of the Coun-
ell of National Defense that the
said Board use its influence with
Congress in having the principles
Of the selective draft adopted for
securing an adequate medical
service for the army.

While the Christmas festivities were in full swing the sick soldiers at Camp Sheridan were not forgotten and were made happy by the good people of Mont somery.
 At every window a Christmas wreath, tied with bow of red ribbon, was nung and in each ward was a gaily bedecked Christmas tree, loaded with gifts for the i'll men. The state of Pennsylvania sent these gifts to the base hospital 'he people of that state having asked that they be given a base hospital to send cheer to- so the one at Camp Sheridan. in the heart of Dixieland, was chosen. Just at twilight Christmas eve about 60 pupils of the Margaret Booth school stole quietly into the wards and sang Christmas carols, telling the old story of Peace on earth, good will to men"

Locomotives Supply Heat

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 A large manufacturing plant at Ar lington, N. J., was cold as a refriger- ator one winters morning and there was no immediate relief in sight. It seemed as in the three eight-hour shifts of 5000 employees might have to be dis missed. There was no time to install new heating plant besides that would have been too costly. The superinten- dent wanted Just enough steam to fur nish heat for few hours.
 Two Erie locomotives were placed on side-track, steam line connection was made between the hot water pipes and the steam dome of each engine, and the plant was heated at an expense of $50 for the day, which was the cost of the engines and fuel Cold water was supplied to the tenders by an under ground pipe.

Montgomery Never So
 Gay as in Holiday
 Affairs for Soldiers
(Continued from Page one)

(COntinued from Page One) Mrs. Lamar Law at Cloverdale, stock ings were hung by the good doctor and his wife for several lonely soldier lads. and they had a wonderful time early Christmas morning looking for the gifts from Santa Claus.
 It was truly a happy day for lovers, and several hundred girls journeyed from the far away state of Ohio to spend Christmas with their soldier sweethearts.
 FINDS HER SWEETHEART
 In one instance, MT. and Mrs. c. Guy Smith. two of Montgomery's best known musicians. who have been more than kind to the soldier lads, carried with them in their car to Camp Sheridan a pretty Ohio girl. who. under the chap eronage of friends, came to Montgomery to pass the holiday season. She had not seen her soldier lover, and camp could not be reached soon enough, but on the arrival of the party there, they were doomed to disappointment, for they were told that his company had started a short while before to the rifle range. One of the officers. realizing her disappoint- ment. told her that he would be allowed to step out of line and chat wit hher for five or ten minutes. if he then re- joined his company. When the young soldier saw his sweetheart coming to- ward him he did not wait on ceremony, but rushed out of line and gathered her in fond embrace
 Everyone cheered and the soldiers all began to whistle the wedding march. This was two days before Christmas and it is needless to say that there were no happier persons in Montgomery on Christmas day than this soldier and his girl.
 During Christmas week all of the Y. M. c. A. huts at Camp Sheridan gav with their decoration of mistletoe and holly, were the scenes of delightful en- tertainments
