 EnIisime,nis
 Sought Now
Opportunity for Those with Qualifications 10 Join
 U. 5. Service

Now is the opportunity for any man, over 18 years of age, high school graduate and physically qualified, to be enlisted in he Alaska Communication System for duty in Alaska or Seattle, who can touch type at the rate of 8 words minute or send and re- ceive the International Morse Code at a rate of 15 words per minute, or have other technical qualifica- tions which would make them de- sireable for Signal communication work. This statement was made to- day by Roger H. Stevenson, Opera tor Charge of the Signal Corps. United States Army, in Juneau
 The pay to start in Alaska is approximately Sl20 per month, but during the past year due to the large increase in the Army, those who were already enlisted, advanced in grades and ratings very rapidly. Any applicants accepted at this time, will probably find advance ments come quickly at the present time and in the near future, due to this expanding army This is a career that should appeal especi- ally to amateur operators. at least for an enlistment or two. Further particulars for applicants may Le obtained at the Radio Office of the Signal Corps in the Federal Building s...
 The Alaska Communication Sys- tenn has lost approximately 80. of their most experienced operators in the past year due to transfers to the United States to be used as key men in forming Of the many new Signal Companies and Battalions created by the increase of the Reg ular Army to 1,200,000 men.
 The System has also received an increase in. personnel, and this in- crease together with replacements for the men already transferred. 1 must be filled from voluntary en- listments in the Army for the AL aska Communication System '
 It has been very difficult in the past few years to obtain qualified operators to fill vacancies, and at the present time it has become ex- tremely difficult to find any ap- plicants Of any suitable qualifica- tions whatever, due to new jobs being created in civil life, enlist ments ill the Army and Navy in the States and possibly due to the conscription. In order to try and fill quota of about 80 vacancies on the System, the qualifications have been considerably lessened.

Swings Upward
Throughout World
War and Overtime Work
Are Blamed for Rise
In Incidence of Disease
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,


NEW YORK, Nov. 28-Signs that
tuberculosis, which has been on the
decline for many years, IS taking an
upturn of worldwide degree, were
announced today by the New York
tuberculosis and Health Association.
War, and the heightened hours
of defense work, appear to be the
principal causes. The warning was
made by G. J. Drolet, statiStician
and assistant director of the asso-
citation, in reporting the first figures
for tuberculosis in 1910 from 46
American cities.
while from Europe" Mr.. Drolet
says, reports already are being re-
ceived of a decided increase in tu-
berculosis mortality, in the United
States so far. outside of isolated in
stances, the rate has been held down
somewhat.
Danger Signs in United States.
But in certain communities dan
ger signals are appearing in l941.
For instance, in New York City, from
January ! to November IS. new tu-
berculosiS cases number 1856 or 231
more than for the same period a
year ago.
"With increased activity and over
time work, it is urgent, that CORE
spending increased vigilance against
tuberculosis be maintained"
The British Medical Journal of
last week reported an estimated
1912 tuberculosis deaths for Glas-
gov for this year against 800 in
1888. Honk Kong reports 5,751 last
year against 4.443 in 1899.
In the As American cities the tu-
berculosis death rate rose in 10-a
little less than half the total.
For this entire Nation the rate
was 459 per 100000 population,
against All the year before.
Large Cities Highest.
But the large cities death rate
was 26 per cent above the Nation
at large.
San Antonio, with 144, had the
highest rate among the cities; st.
Paul the lowest with %.
In the five cities with more than
100000 population the ratios were
Philadelphia, IS; Chicago, 81: New
York. 81; Detroit, 81; Los Angeles, So
In the nine cities of half million

lowest rate, 35; Baltimore the high
est, 95. The others: Buffalo, At;
Pittsburgh. 54; st. Louis, ST; Cleve-
land. So; Boston, Sc; San Francisco,
81; Washington, 80.
Low Rate in Minneapolis.
IN the l6 cities between 100000

faith and morale of the trainees, he
said, the boys will come out of the
service with their faith shattered,
morals broken and an entirely
different outlook on life. He stressed
that this responsibility would be
particularly urgent should the Ma
tion go into war.
The speaker also emphasized that
churchwomen today should work
to safeguard the Christian aspect
of modern education. If the United
States is to be safe in the future,
he asserted, it will not be primarily
because of large armies, navies and
air force, but because Christian peo-
pie have made education Christ
centeTed.
1t is incumbent upon the church
so to strengthen its Christian in
stitutions for education that when
the crisis comes the people will be
! too we'll prepared and morally GER
tain to permit destruction of the
freedom thai comes out of Chris
tan education, he declared.
Mrs. N. j. Gould Wickey was
chairman of the luncheon and in
troduced the guests. Mrs. George
A. Ross, council president, was
among those at the speakers table.
The guests included DR.. Oscar
Blackwelder, president of the Wash

spoke briefly; DR.. William r. Barn

Americana nAmbuIances
Have Taken $4,000
From Raid Scenes
Fleet Of U. S. Mercy Cars
Has Driven Million Miles
During Duty in England
BY HELEN KIRKPATRICK,
Foreign Correspondent of The Star an

AhAANAhA 81 AeANhhS
Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicaso Daily News.
LONDON. May"2-In its year of
existence american AmbulanceS of
Great Britain" with its woman
driven fleet of mercy cars, has
chalked up a record of 100000
miles Travelled in line of duty and
at least $4,000 patients carried from
scenes of Nazi-wrought death and
destruction to base hospitals, Off
cials of this corps disclosed today.
Organized last spring by Amer
ican businessmen of London, who
donated the first group of ambu-
lances, the corps, headed by the
American Gilbert Carr, now boasts
IA ambulance centerS in England.
Its sleek, long. gray cars. distin-
guished by a red stripe and ~. S. A"
painted on their sides, streak night
ly through the sound and fury of
the Nazi blitz.
No Raid Too Hazardous.
Their gray forms etched against
the silhouette and flame of illumined
holocaust. these ambulances remove
wounded from front line casualty
hospitals" to base hospitals in the
countryside or else, in cases of
patients too critical for travel, to
nearby surgical cars.
No night raid is too hazardous
for this American-sponsored am
bulance corps. AS the Nazis rained
hell on Plymouth, for the fifth night
april 29-30) in 10 days, units
rushed in to relieve the sorely tried
ambulances which were further
handicapped by serious damage in
fiicted on local hospitals.
In token of gratitude the Duke of
Kent visited one unit in Tonbridge
Wells, which had gone to the as
mouth when those ports were sky
blitzed. Mr.. Carr will make tour
of inspection next week He will
visit the corps training headquar-
ters in Leeds and units in the
'front lines" at Birmingham, Bris-
tol. Cardiff and Manchester.
In my recent tour of England's
nine worst-ravaged ports saw these
heroic amoulances at work. Stricken
and homeless citizens everywhere
gazed in silent appreciation as the
messengers of mercy sped back and
forth.
Evidence of Z. S. Help.
Probably nothing does more to
bring home to Britons the extent
of American sympathy than the
sight of these vehicles with their
smartly uniformed women drivers.
American clothing, medical supplies
and food are now a commonplace
to raid sufferers, but fortunate citi-
zenS who have so far escaped from
inflicted death. regard these
ambulances as visible evidence of
American aid to British civilians.
American ambulance corps units
from Nottingham and Birmingham
made hundreds of trips to Coventry
when that Midlands city suffered
its tragic Luftwaffe raids. Surgical
cars, with X-ray machines, operat-
ing tables and doctors gave the
speediest aid to victims who could
not survive Journeys to hospitals.
Both the Red Cross and the Brit
ish War Relief Society maintain this
brave ambulance corps. 1t costs
$4,000 week to keep it up.

That's Just the point. He Is living

those selfish men who jeopardiZe
the freedom Of others but insist on
having their own.
Women who have "given the best
years Of their life" to man usually
do 90 because It gives them the
greatest happiness to do SO. They
seldom. II ever. are willing to pay
tor their happiness. and I honestly
believe that we do pay for happi-
ness and do 1t willingly.
A woman Is very foolish to allow
one man to monopoiize her time.
unless she Is a philosopher. willing
% take life as It comes. or she Is a
gambler and q good loser. One de-
voted man Is naturally going to
keep others away. But there may
not be others. and she may be eager
to accept the one mans devotion. In

It's quite understandable that a

that she can see. without having 1t

the woman feels that she has little
