EMPHASIZES NEED
OF NEGRO DOCTORS
Howard University Seeks to
Secure Funds for Medi-
cal School.

Need of colored physicians. dentists
and nurses among the negro race in
the United States is so great as to
make imperative the proposed addi-
lions to the Medical School of
Howard University, officials state in
appealing for s1S5.00O to be secured
as the remainder of the public's
share of the endowment fund, to be
raised by July 1:
In the request for assistance, it il
emphasized that the Federal Govern
ment provides only one-tenth of the
current expenses of the medical
school, and that this appropriation
might in any year be stopped en-
tirely or greatly decreased, as Gov
eminent assistance is not a matter
of law.
Statistics show that there is one
colored doctor to every 3,194 of his
race, one colored dentist to every
2O,560 and one colored nurse to
every 4,039.
Officials further explain that the
American Medical Association now
places the medical school in Glass
A, such colleges having a $4,000
income, exclusive of fees, the money
being necessary for research and
allied needs. The standing of the
school will be lost if the campaign
is not successful, it is stated.

5000 Oyster Farmers
Seek Maryland Leases

BALTIMORE, Feb. 10.-Applica-
tons for more than 5000 oyster
bed leases have been received by
the conservation commission. This
is several hundred acres over the
total for 1922.
Swepson Earle, engineer Of the
commission, said that advancing
prices and the general scarcity of
oysters pointed to a large demand
during 1923.
Development of oyster planting
in Maryland is restricted by the
policy of the State, which restricts
leases in tributaries of the Chesa-
peake Bay to thirty acres each.
Men with capital to invest who
desire to farm" large areas are
going to Virginia, which is more
liberal.
