To Their Business.

Birmingham, Ala, April 13.-Bir,
mingham newspaper publishers have
fatty denied the request of com
mittee OF retail olothiers that news of
the overall movement" throughout

iers' committee that their papers
would continue to report the overall
movement, which they considered le-
gitimate news

overalls as means OF fighting the
high cost of clothing, which origin
ated in Tampa, has spread to many
cities in the South, where business
and professional men as we'll as other
workers are going about in blue
denim. II was reported today that

u. V. M. MEDICAL SCHOOL
TO BE OPEN TO WOMEN
Step Taken to Remedy Shortage o.
Physicians in Many New Eng
land Towns.

Burlington, April 13.-Acting
President Guy w. Bailey of the Uni
velsity of Vermont and Dean II. c.
Tinkham of the College of Medicine
announced yesterday that, beginning
with next fall, women will be admit
ted to the college of medicine. This
action was decided upon at recent
meeting of the board of trustees be-
cause of the shortage of physicians,
particularly among the rural districts
of northern New England and New
York states.
Although other departments OF
the university have been open to
women for some time this is the
first time that women have been ad-
mitted to the medical college
1t is the opinion of Dean Tink'
ham that women viii con6ne them
selves especially to the institutional
and laboratory work and to the dis
eases of children. Few, he thought
at present will specialize in surgery
According to the dean there are a
large number of women in New Eng
land colleges who have the neces
sary qualifications for the work.
Until seven or eight years age
students here admitted to the Yer
mont College of Medicine with nc
preliminary collegiate training nee
.essary. AS the entrance conditions
to medical colleges were raised
some, requiring several years of col
legiate preparatory work before
commencing the study Of medicine
the university required "pre-medic'
course of a year.
