Putting up a Big Frent

except the law of openness and SINGER
itv which makes one refrain from de-;
liberately giving a wrong impression.
They Pounced Upon the Fact
Naturally when the group whom she
had sought to impress with her pur-
chase discovered that the car was
second hand they pounced upon the
fact with gusto and made much fun
of her.
1 wonder that the fear of being
found out and made fun Of doesn't de-
ter the people who put up big front.
Surely they have seen other people
who did it and We're found out, and
know how much they are made fun Of.
Why should they expect to escape the
same fate? I suppose because we are
all ostriches in such matters and don t
see what we don't want to see.
Of course there are times when it
is advisable not to let any more be
known about one affairs than can be
helped. But between beihg dislreet
and retcent, and trying to give false
ly large impression there is surely a
wide gulf.

FOR UNIVERSAL MEDICAL TESTS
Santa Ana Register: Members of the
National Board of Medical Examiners
in session recently considered, among
other things, plans for the establish
ment of q single qualifieatioa~eXamina
tios for medical practice. 1t is the in
tention that applicants passing this ex-
animation will, be admitted to the prac-
tice of medicine in any state without
having to pass kate examination also.
The standard is tSbe made so high that
there can be no doubt of the qualifica-
tions of doctors who pass.
Twenty-one states already accept the
certificates issued by the national
board, and ten others have signified
their willingness to accept them when
state laws can be amended to allow
such procedure. The further stiffening
Of these tests will advance their popu
-aritv and in itself help to maintain the
already high standards of the medical
profession.
Neither medical facts nor human
bodies change intrinsieally wit II
state boundary lines, and a man who is
qualified to practice in one state
should be fitted to do so in another,
As in teaching, the artificial barrier
should be removed.

were tested than in States where the
