ton and such white visitors as find their way to the river villages are tolerated rather than welcomed. In language alone do the Djuka pay tribute to their comparatiely brief association with Europeans. for their speech, called "talkee-talkee." is a mixture of English, Dutch. Portu- gese, French and corrupt West African dialect.
 Perhaps the strongest tie that binds these self-reliant blacks to the land of their ancestors origin is their art. The men are expert wood carvers, and the designs they cut into stools, paddles, drums. combs and ladies are readily traceable to West Africa.

RURAL DOCTORS
 GOING RAPIDLY
Their Diminishing Ranks Must
 Be Filled

Albany, N. Y, May 51 CP-An attempt to recruit the dwindling ranks of country doctors is to be made by the Albany Medical college through d new department of re- Sional extension of medical practice which will seek to place young pfly- sicians in rural areas.
 Although the experiment is de- signed chiefly 10 aid this section of New York state the problem il Is attacking Is found throu2hout the nation. From many sections come reports that country practices are not attracting newly graduated medical students and that the places made vacant by the country phSsi- clans removed by death or retirement are not being filled by generation that seeks the lure Of "big money" in the cities.
 Dr. Matthias Nicoll, Jr., health commissioner Of New York state, makes the prophecy that if the present decline in the number Of rural physicians continues the health of thousands of persons throughout the United States will he "seriously jeopardized within a comparatively short time"
 Dr. Nicoll further asserts that half of the physicians now situated in the rural areas of this state will not be in active practice in ten years He bases his prophecy on a survey, made by the local college, of 20 northeastern New York counties, which may be fairly taken as a cross section Of the nation.
 "The survey shows" says the commissioner. that of the 5S9 phy- sicians in non-urban districts of this region cS4 have been practicing for more than 30 years. Of these l50 have been practicing for more than over 60 years of age. As a further example, in New York state 30 rural health officers died during 1927. Of these o1 averaged 60 years of age at death. The ages Of 13 ranged from sl to 13 years.
 "The survey indicates two of the most important factors in the na- tional and state problem of decreas- ing medical attendance in rural areas. Those factors are the high average age of rural physicians and the small number of young men who are entering practice in coun- try communities.
 Prom the point of view of med ical attention being available alm ost immediately when required, the sit uation in the United States will be- come critical unless trained physi- clans. graduating today. locate in larger numbers in rural areas"

tenor, will appear in a recital at the
y NJ. T. A. B. hall on Tuesday eve
