YOUNG RECRUITS MAY SPECIALIZE
Opportunity to Learn Trade or Profession Is
 Given Army Volunteers

The United States Army offers a rich field of opportunity to ambi- tious young men desiring to earn a good livelihood, as the field for study and self improvement is lim- tied only by the individal's inclina- tion and ability.
 In an interview with Col. John L. Rice, corps area recruiting offi- cer, the colonel stated that upon enlistment, yong men will be given an opportunity to prepare them selves for specialists work if they so desire. For example, the Army Med- ical Center in Washington onducts two courses each year for approxi- mately for months duration for the prpose of developing X-Ray labora- tory, dental, mad veterinary techni- clans. Also at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania, home of the Medical Field Service School, two months course is conducted annually or am- bilious youths.
 The X-Ray technicians course of- fers an opportunity to qualify in practical X-Ray work, while the training in routine, clinical and laboratory technicians corse offers pathological laboratory work. Men so trained can sterilize laboratory apparatus, prepare culture media sociological examinations and per- form other tasks of value in either Army or civilian laboratories.
 The dental technicianS course provides training for selected enlist ed men in dental mechanics. dental hygiene, and dental X-Ray work SC they may construct crowns, bridges dentures, and splints, scale and pol ish teeth, and develop X-Ray photo graphs.
 If a graduate of this or any other medical school decides to make tht Army his career, he may confident. l ly count upon promotion and in. creased pay. If he elects to return | to civilian life, he will find his medi. cal department training to be O material help in procuring desira' ble position in an extremely inter esting and well-paid field of en deavor.

 Barbour let his ample body sag slowly down into a blue mohair chair. Sayler remained standing in the center of the drawing room. His shoulders were bent back, rigid, but his head hung forward at slight angle.
 George and have just had a little chat very pleasant, {" Sayler said. we've settled lots of things"
 Rhoda sprang to her feet. "Why do you have to do this to us? Why do you have to torture us? Can't you just get 1t over with?' Tears glistened on her cheeks.
 There's no need to get hys- terical," Sayler said coldly.
 Dale had risen with Rhoda and had thrown protective arm around her quivering shoulders She's not hysterical. She's just telling you what all of us are thinking. Why don't you get on with your bloody business?" Sayler,s piercing eyes were lev eled on Dale for moment. Sud- denly his jaw clenched tightly. Very well you asked for it.
