One of the magnificent things
that the veterinary is compelled
by the nature of his work to do
that l wish physicians would learn
to do, is to make a diagnosis of
what is the matter with his pat

see and feel and infer. A vet
erinary's patients cannot tell him
their story. Sometimes this is an
advantage, because he does not
get a false idea as human doctors
do by listening to their patients.
I remember a patient we had
once in the clinic, a very stubborn
Individual, who readily submitted
to taking off all his clothes but
would not tell us one thing about
where he had a pain or what he
was suffering from. All he would
say was Find the sickness" and
we finally had to do it just as the
veterinary does it.

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON-A nice, gloomy
note for the taxpayer in connection
with the preparedness program is
the fact battleships are going to
be even more expensive if they
are actually to be made airplane-
proof along the lines suggested by
Secretary of the Navy Edison.
Naval experts have figured it
would take a protective shell OF
Z IL inch armor plate to render
a battleship invulnerable to tn e
latest type of 2000-pound bomb.
Not only will that kind of sheath
ing be expensive, but applying it
as a standard thing would practic-
ally mean starting from scratch
and building a lot of vessels. Ex-
listing ships just couldn't carry the
weight.
That, in turn, would mean bat
tleships much larger than any now
in existence. Some navy people are
talking about ships of 10000 or
70, 900 tons, at costs estimated a.
round $l25, 900, 900 apiece.
Existing craft could be given
shields that would protect t h e m
adequately from small bombs and
that would cut down casualties
from flying splinters and stray bits
of gear. But these couldn't, say
the experts, get 100 per cent pro-
lection.
BIG BATTLESHIPS
GOOD NEWS?
Just to show you the scale in
which some people r viewing the
defense program for the next de-
cade - it is being argued in some
quarters that these $125, 600, 600,
turtle-backed battle wagons actual
ly come under the head of gooc
news for the American people.
The argument goes like thi:
nobody on earth could afford tt
build that kind of ship excep'
Uncle Sam. 1t might almost breal
him, but he could do it; and since
nobody else could, he would pres
emily have the only airplane-proo:
