strong appeal to them, accustomed as
they are to the gentler temperatures
They come here to make homes, in

Yet there is no indiscriminate in

Men Of their own race prevent it.
Men and women leaders of the race,
many of them long resident in Los

into the Commercial Council of Los
Angeles, the object of which is to con-
troll immigration, to see that only the
desirable come, and when they have
arrived to assist them to become estab-
lished in homes and in business. The
Commercial Council performs for the
colored people the functions Of a
chamber Of commerce and housing
and settlement bureau combined.
Through its efforts there are coming
to this city industrious and thrifty
men and women, many of them pos
essing considerable means, who en-
gage in useful occupations and bust
ness; their energies and resources are
directed towards fostering and Great
ing manufacturing and commerce,

One might venture the prediction
that increasing numbers Of colored
women VII study for the medical pro
fesSion indeed the increase has al
ready begun. The new and emphatic
note in progressive medical thought
today that physicians must recognize
the important task Of maintaining and
developing the health of individuals.
in addition to their former obligation
OF correcting defects. curing disease,
and preventing disease, will stimulate
women to prepare themselves for the
greater demand for physicians trained
with that viewpoint Perhaps the
health specialist will be the popular
physician Of the future.
/ The new idea of health broadcast
| by the National Board OF the Young
/ Women's Christian Association and
numerous other womens organiza-
tons is based on the principle that
health is not merely the absence Of
disease but is the development OF all
the latent vitality Of the individual
Their view Of health Is that Of an in
tegrated body, a well-baanced mind
and a soul capable Of love and fellow
ship. Their health education program
aims to make ii matter of personal
unacceptable, singing conviction in the
minds OF individual women that how
well they arc depends, primarily. on
how they personally live If they can
get that idea translated into a force
working in the daily habits OF large
number OF women, then they have
done something for womanhood and
the race OF which the benefits are
scarcely calculable

the advantages obtaining for an Eng

so scandalous for a woman to be a

groups in conservative sections Of this
country to the black woman who at
tanned the knowledge and authority to
ractice medicine can be easily con-
occurred One can without difnculty
imagine what some Of these dark
skinned women physicians must have
