Docs Economic ROyalists?

Compared to other profes-
sional and business men, 1t is
astonishing to realize how really
independent the average M. D.
is.
The doctor has really been the
economic royalist of a. the pro-
LESSONS, because the public has
looked upon him with reverence
and let him get away with every
thing he demanded.
Exorbitant fees, very con-
venient office hours, and pro-
lection against any layman's in
quiry or questionings into his
competence or general ethics are
some.
A general investigation will
find the average doctor occupy
ing an office a little more pros
porous than the attorney. &C
countant, engineer, or business
man. He will generally drive a
better car, dress better, and live
in a better house than those
others mentioned.
The argument is generally
presented that a doctor has to
spend so much time in -chool in
preparation for his profession.
The Washington times., 1938-01-18

Yet, a man will fall in love
and plunge into marriage just
for the sake of a dimple or a
pair of comehither eyes, or be-
cause some girl has gone to his
head and caused his pulse to
skip a beat under a summer
moon.
But what woman ever went
so far as to marry a man for
the beauty of his elbows or his
well-turned ankles or the way
his eyes glistened in the moon
light?
A man will wander all over
the face of the earth in search
of adventure. But a woman is
content with the troubles and
distractions which come to her
daily of themselves, and sees no
need to exert her strength in
searching for more excitement.
A man will get up at dawn

Two Ships for One

That person who wrote the
Voice limiting that bridges are

obviously unfamiliar with the

lection of him and his from pos
sible violation by enemies. In
this air and fast-ship age, we

that they have paid millions to
develop that very notion.
Before going further, let's
get this straight. I am NOT
whamming Modern Education.
To the contrary, I enthusiastic
cally indorSe most Of its
methods and aims. But I also
believe that in certain funda-
mental matters-such as the
attitude of the Young World
beater toward his job-we could
use a little common sense. It's
all very we'll to plumb a young
ster's depths and develop his
assets, provided he has any. But
it is much more important to
prepare him to be Regular Egg
in case he doesn't happen to
turn out an Einstein. And there
is where our old American atti.
tude toward work is mighty
helpful.
America once knew, without
any fancy charts, that WORK
IS WORK in any language and
that, regardless of your per-
sonal brilliance, there is no job
which will suit you, or your boss,
all the time.
Yes, it is pleasant to do the
thing for which you feel best
fitted. But it is far more impera-
tive to be Generally Handy and
Good-Natured in any chore,
under any circumstances. No
worker is good in ANY position
until he has learned to stand
the gaff of ALL positions to
make those common contacts
and adjustments and stand
those common strains which
are the basis of all successful
labor and decent citizenship.
Waiting for the right job?"
Then you'll wait forever,
youngster. For there are no
right jobs. There are only
RIG IT MEN. fellows who have
WHAT 1T TAKES, regardless.
If you can pass THAT test, you
have the industrial chart by
the tail. Otherwise, though
you possess a dozen degrees,
you're still JUST A KNICK-
KNACK.

Or suppose England and the United States should

much more than those in the

Were he willing to devote his
unsparing effort to his profes-

mands would be overlooked; but,
generally, you will find that his
hours are 9 to 4. with one or
two afternoons off a week for
his golf or tennis, and every
evening in the week off, as a
rule.
He certainly does not stop to
consider the convenience Of his
patients, who have to take time
out of their employment to visit
the doctor during the office
hours he keeps. This, in itself,
discourages frequent visits to
the doctor, and minor ailments
are allowed to become major
ailments.
Let the doctor, no matter how
much of a specialist he may be,
keep his office open on Saturday
afternoon and evening and a
couple evenings a week as well.

Reed to Supreme Court

THE Presidents nomination of T. S. Solicitor Gen
i eral Stanley Reed to the Supreme Court looks like
a good nomination to US Mr.. Reed if the Senate con-
firms his nomination as it is expected to do, will re-
place Justice George Sutherland, whose retirement
takes effect today
Mr. Reed has had much experience in the Supreme
Court fighting for the Government side in many of
the New Deal cases of the last three years That
wouldn't develop judicial attitude, but it would
famiIiarize man with Supreme Court procedure and
custom.
By and large, we think Supreme Court justices
should be drawn from the lower Federal courts and
that the Chief Justice should be appointed from
among the justices the court at the time the Chief
Justceship falls vacant
But Mr. Reeds record looks good to US, and we hope
the Senate will confirm the Reed nomination.
