CAPITAL TALKS
by
Peter
Edison

There is only one known way to
relieve q doctor shortage. and that
is to find another doctor and move
him into the area where the short
age exists That sounds easy, but
any time YOU try to shove doctors
around you run into difficulties.
First you have to find a doctor
who Is willing to be showed. Maybe
the community won't like the new
doctor Maybe. if the shift in
wolves crossing a state line. the
state into which the doctor would
otherwise te willing to move won't
Grant him a license. That actually
happens. Its the old bugaboo, the
interstate trade barrier which also
hampers the operation of truck
drivers and milk statesmen and the
dispensers of oleomargarine.
Every doctor must pass stiff
examination to get his license to
practice medicine within that
state. but no state will honor
the licenses of other states, and
a doctor licensed in New York
can't practice i'll New Jersey un-
less he first masses the New .Jer-
sev examination. He can treat
New Jersey people who come to
his New York office. but not
the other way around. A uni
form law TO correct this nuis-
ance hv providing for tempo
rary licenses has been recon-
mended to the state legislatures
by the Council of State GoXern-
ments, but it would take sew
eral years to have this correct
ed in anv reasonable number of
states. and as matters stand today
only SO states of the Union have
reciprocal arrangements for trans
fer of licenses and nine states
require the transferring doctor

from one to 10 years.
One way to get around those re-
strictions would be tc commission
doctor in the US. Public Health
Service. He would then be a fed
eral officer and he could be moved
into any part of the country.

THERE'S 4 WAY

If the commissioning Of civilian
doctors in us. Public Health Serv-
ice has to be resorted to as a de-
vice to permit physicians to be sent
into any war production center
without violating state laws, such
an arrangement might be worked
out. But it would be last resort,
and if viii be for the duration
only.
There are approximately 400 war
nrodl ,tion communities. Public
T+ealth Service gets reports from
them every week, They pay par
ticular attention to places where
there pre- acute SHORTAGES Of medi-
cal help. Then, through a COM
mittee on medical assignment, a
concentrated effort is made to get
sdditicnal doctors into these areas.
TO date over 200 doctors have ac-
t;lally been relocated, and the job
is just beginning

HOWL is HEARD

To some people it has seemed that
compulsory mobilization in this
manner is the only possible solu-
ton to the shortage of doctors now
developing in some war prediction
areas. But as soon as any govern
ment planner even so much as
thinks about this. a big yell goes
up from the spOkesmen for the
American Medical Association,
which fears this would be an en-
tering wedge for the socialization
of medicine, the big bogeyman that
fol. 20 wears CT more has been both
erir1g the medical profession.
Private doctors hate and fear So
cialized medicine. What they are
afraid Of is that U. S. medical
practice will go the way it has in
New Zealand and few other coun-
tries. where doctors become SER
wants of the government. work tor
2 government salary instead OF
for fees paid by their patients. and
where the patient pays no doctor
or hospital bills but instead pays
health taxes to the goVernment
which uses the money to proVide
free health service.
As mamtter of fact there is no
apparent plot on the part or even
the social planners in the govern
ment to Use the present emer-
gencv fer further socialization Of
medicine.
The antitrust division Of the
Department of Justice is bucking
the American Medical Association
fer its opposition TO group health
rlans. yes The Federal Security
Administration is interested in
furthering the Social Security pre-
gram along broad lines, yes. But
the us. Public Health Service.
which is also a part Of the FSA and
whose commissioned public health
officers arc primarily regular phys
icians. is not out humping the tub

On the top is, appropriately enough,

Although 1t has nothing to do
with February 1Eor maybe because
of that reason-we'd d like to mention
a new cosmetic bar that's causing
a great deal Of favorable comment
about town. Resplendent with blue
mirrors, light wood and all kinds Of
cosmetics, it's an ideal place to ex-
pertinent with makeup. You can
perch on a high stool and try new
shades Of face powder, for instance,
ultimately deciding which one is best
suited to your personality. The local
store whose brainchild this is re-
ports that women are delighted with
the convenience Of it and that the
response to this service has been
worth all the effort involved.
Word-to-the-wise: All the cos
metic representatives we've chatted

full and 1t looks as though you

OF course, the ideal wife Is q
myth. There is no such animal,
and, il there were, no man would
want one for a household pet. He
would have nothing in common
with her and she would present too
invidious a comparison to his many
faults and weaknesses. But, toying
with the idea that such a she
angel might exist, and you had 10
points to award for the qualities
that go to make a good wife. how
would you distribute them? Bobby
Burns, the Scottish poet, divided
them in this wise: He gave four
parts to good temper, two parts to
good sense, one part to wit and one
part to beauty. The remaining two
parts he divided among miscellan-
eous virtues and attractions, such as
fortune, education, family and such,
like embellishments to 8 wedding
cake.
Now, naturally, we all have our
different tastes in wives, but If I
were selecting the 10 points that
make a woman a desirable mate I
would begin by giving common
sense three points because I be-
leve 1t to be the most important
quality that wife can possess and
the one that will go farthest
toward making q marriage a sue
cess. For the woman who has COM
mon sense does not expect too much
Of either marriage or her husband.
She does not expect marriage to be
either q perpetual petting party or
the do-nothing stool on which she
can sit down and fold her hands
In idleness for the balance Of her
life. Neither does she expect her
husband to be a human phenome-
non who will combine the outstand-
ing characteristics Of Job and Henry
Ford and Clark Gable. She knows
that both marriage and husbands
are fallible institutions, but still q
woman's best bet, so she takes them
"as is" and makes the best Of them.
would give two points to amia-
bility. After all, q man has to live
with his wife's disposition, and
whether he is happy or miserable
depends upon whether she is easy
to get along with or keeps him
walking on eggs for fear he will do
or say something that will rile her.
I would give beauty only one
point, because it Is q luxury instead
of q necessity in q wife. Undoubt-
edly it must be pleasant for q man
to have q wife who Is q treat to
the eyes, but unfortunately after .
man has once hung q picture, living
or otherwise. on his walls, he is
likely to take 1t for granted and
not spend his time gloating over it..
And, anyway. the man who marries
just for beauty is bound to lose out
in the end because time withers
the fairest rose and turns the
glamour girl into just another mid
dle-aged woman.
I would give two points to q wo-
mans conversational ability. Sche-
herezade should be the patron saint
of wives. She kept her neck by

Glazed Chintz Back

Glazed chintz, long forgotten, Is
assuming an important role on the
stage Of fashion. 1t will be seen in
a variety of clothes this year, from
kitchen dresses and afternoon
dirndls to fioor-sweeping skirts for
evening. 1t is even finding a place
in the sun and at the beach.
There is something very different
about these chintz flower prints.
While they were always colorful and
gay when new, after the first few
washings the fabric lost its glaze
and took on a wilted appearance.
This years version of chintz has
a special glazed finish and will hold
its gloss after frequent washings.
1t is being made on a lighter-weight,
softer muslin which can be tucked,
gathered and pleated without be-
coming bulky.

Budgeting takes on special I'M
portance this year. Many persons
have incomes that ere larger than
last year. Fifty-three per cent of
the people are now earning the
same amount, another 3S per cent
have larger incomes and per cent
have smaller ones.
The SO per cent who earn the
same actually have less to save or
spend for luxuries, due to increased
costs Of living and climbing taxes
The 38 per cent who have larger
salaries will have to do some watch
ing or the entire increase will be
eaten up before they know it. The
9 per cent who have smaller incomes
will need to use skill as never before
to make ends meet happily.
Mrs. Mary Berkely Finke, bud
keteer with a New York bank, Is
spending much of her time helping
those who have to meet the rising
cost of living on the same income.
Here are some of her maxims:
l. Don't get in panic If you find
yourself poorer.
2. Don't put of buying an UNI
brella until it starts to rain. Plan
now what you would do If emergency
catches up with you.
3. Don't add to your basic obliga-
tions.
4. Keep yourself mentally, spirit
ually and physically fit.
We can't afford under-par health
now. 1t takes physical and spiritual
stamina to see us through. Start
by adding mild setting-up exercises
to your day. Here's an easy one:
Stand erect with the arms raised
sidewise. shoulder height, palms
facing toward the ceiling. AS you
raise the arms over the head to clap
the hands together. bend the knees
halfway down. Rise on the toes
as you do so and keep the back
straight. Straighten the knees,
lower heels to floor and lower arms
to shoulder height position. Repeat
10 times.
