Company. said he took up the ques-
ton with an operating official of the
company, and that official told him he
had heard of u few cases in which
conductors sold out their tickets.
Asked if the company had an ample
supply of tickets Mr.. Bowen said that
was his l. Outstanding.
II think. said Mr. Bowen. that the
complaints resulted from the fact that
some individual conductors were met
with a heavy demand for tickets and
sold out while on the road. believe
that " hatever difficulties occurred this

Mr.. Bowen said il would be the aim
of the company TO keep the conduc.

persons were compelled to pay cash
fares.
\ few complaints of this kind Were
made by passengers on the line OF the

SHORTAGE OF PHYSICIANS
OFFERS FIELD TO WOMEN
Former Prejudice Against Them as
Doctors Almost Swept Away
by War Sequences. :

LONDON, November 1 Correspond
ence of the Associated Press).-Short:
age of physicians in this country,
which was greatly increased by the
war, is giving women a golden OBJ
portunity to enter the medical pro-
fession. Hundreds Of demobilized
war workers, especially nurses, are
taking advantage of it.
Before the war few facilities were
offered Englishwomen for training as
physicians, and, furth ermore. they en-
countered a prejudice on the part of
all classes that was strong enough to
daufif even the most determined. That
prejudice against woman doctors"
was almost entirely swept away by
the heroic and efficient medical serv-
ice performed by women during the
war.
Hospital schools Of medicine. from
which woman students formerly were
barred, are now open to them. Many
hospitals. and other health institu-
tions include women on their boards
of management, and public positions
which used to be filled only by men
are now open to woman doctors as
well. Resident hospital posts have
been made available for qualified
woman physicians, enabling them to
secure extremely valuable experience.
Except Oxford and Cambridge. all
the British universities have opened
their medical degrees to women.

Liqhtfoot's Long Swim.

The Big River was very wilde. 1t
would have been long swim for
Lightfoot had he been fresh and at his
best. Strange as it may seem. Light
foot is a splendid swimmer despite his
small, delicate feet. He enjoys SWIM
ming.
But now Lightfoot was terribly tired
from his long run ahead of the hounds.
For time he swan rapidly, but those
weary muscles grew still more weary,
and by the time he reached the middle
of the Big River it seemed to him that
he was not getting ahead at all. At
first he had tried to swim toward
clump Of trees he could see on the OPP
posite bank above the point where he
had entered the water, but to do this
he had to swim against the current.
and he soon found he hadn't the
strength to do this. Then he turned
This made the swimming easier, Tor
the current helped him instead of
hindering him.
Even then he could feel his strength
leaving him.. Had he escaped those
hounds and the terrible hunters only
to be drowned in the Big River" This
new fear gave him more strength for
a little while. But 1t did not last long.
He was three-fourths of the way
across the Big River, but still That 9th
err shore seemed terrible distance
away. Little by little hope died in
the heart of Lightfoot the Deer. He
would keep on just as long as he
could and then-well. it was better to
drown than to be torn to pieces by
dogs.
Just as Lightfoot felt that he could
not take another stroke and that the
end was at hand. a foot touched some
thing. Then. all four feet touched. A
second later he had found solid foot
ing and was standing with the water
only up to his knees He had found
little sand bar out in the Big River.
With little gasp of returning hope.
Lightfoot waded along until the water
began to grow deeper again. He had
hoped that he would be able to wade
ashore. but he saw now that he would
have to swim again. So. for a long
time he remained right where, he was.
He was so tired that he trembled all
over, and he was as frightened as he
was tired. He knew that standing
out there in the water he could be
seen for a long distance. and that
made him nervous and fearful. Sup
posing a hunter on the shore he was
trying to reach Should see him. Then
he would have no chance at all. for
the hunter would simply wait for him
and shoot him as he came out of the
water.
But rest he must. and SO he stood
for long time on the little sandbar
in the Big River. And little by little
he felt his strength returning.

Getting the Turkey Ready.

Carefully pluck the bird" says an
old family cook book, "singe it with
white paper and wipe it thoroughly
liver and gizzard. and be particular
not to break the gallbag. as no wash
ing will remove the bitter taste it i'm
parts where it once touches.
You may feel that all this prelim-
mary work does not affect the mod
ern housewife, for she buys her tur-
key all picked and drawn. But there
you are wrong. For there are ever
SO many folk who go foraging. for
their own turkeys nowadays: Pro-
vided you have an automobile Of any
description, you may do this, and
thereby considerably reduce the cost
of the Thanksgiving orr Christmas
bird. Always within distance reach
able by your car there are farmers
who may have a few turkeys. and
by making arrangements beforehand
you may be able to get one of these
more agreeable to you and your purse
than the bird that you would buy
at the butchers. But, of course.
there is the disadvantage that you
have to pluck and SINCE the bird
yourself. But it is not very diff
cult task.
Wash it inside WELL" continues the
old rule, land wipe it thoroughly with
a dry cloth; the outside merely re-
quires wiping nicely. Cut OF the neck
close to the back. but leave enough
of the crop skin to turn over; break
the leg bones below the knee. draw
out the strings from the thighs and
hatten the breast bone to make It
look plump"
Then the old family cook book goes
on to tell you how to stun the BIRD,
and then goes on: BE particular
that the turkey Is firmly trusse6.
Dredge it lightly with flour, and put
piece Of butter into the basting
ladle; as the butter melts,. haste the
bird with it. Serve with a tureen Of
brown gravy and one of bread sauce.

Differs With Judge Brown.

Il cannot agree with the decision
of Judge Brown in Rhode Island that
the eighteenth amendment necessi-
tates the declaring of war and ma
tional prohibition acts unconstitu-
tional.
What Congress has done is in the
interest of public welfare and public
morals. If plaintiffs not entitled to
compensation, the prohibition laws
being valid, may sell and distribute
their product among people of the
welfare has been done, and never can
be undone. If the action Of Congress
was wise-and SO we must assume 1t
to be; believing the prohibition acts
to be lawful-even were the question
here involved doubtful, we would have
to resolve the doubt in favor of the

Kansas Precedent Cited.

Referring TO the national prohibi-
ton act. Judge Carpenter in his deci-
sion said:
IF the state of Kansas under its po-
lice power had the right to prohibit
the manufacture and sale of ardent
spirits, so had each one of the other
forty-seven states in the Union. If all
of the states had the right, granting
that the federal government under
the Constitution while prosecuting the
war was entitled to exercise police
power necessary and proper for the
efficient carrying on of the war, there
is no reason why the central govern
ment could not provide against the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors in all of the states, and that
without compensation to the owners
and Dealers
The judge further said:
Congress had the power before the
eighteenth amendment was passed to
make police regulations in the aid OF
war. This amendment certainly did
not destroy that right. If that amend
ment had been passed in January.
1917, with the one year of grace for
the liquor interests to readjust them
selves and their businesses, could any
one in reason contend that Congress
had not the power in April, 1917, to
prohibit, the manufacture, sale or even
use Of ardent spirits. q. =, 81 a T.
