that district because they must
be men of good physical condi-
ton. which is exactly the type
required for agricultural work.
The men in city are less
likely to be of the same eco
nonic value to the nation as
those in the country sections,
so the ratio should be reversed.
/ do not say that il runs
exactly as ] have stated il
everywhere--it may be just the
other way around in some places
sA-but there seems to be no
studied system of ALLEGATION.
COME of the draft boards,
~ fearful of squawks of favorit-
ism. send in all Corners without
trying to exercise even a little
common sense about the matter.
I think it was the late Gen.
Hugh Johnson who laid down
the principle of selective draft
ing that mans neighbors
should know better than any
one else whether or not a man
should be drafted, meaning that
they should be aware of any
reasons why he should or should
not be exempted, but even the
neighbors seem a little mixed
up just at present.

OUR draft system seems to be
" working a little cockeyed in
some respects at the moment,
and I hope and trust that the
boss man. General Hershey. will
bear with me while / give out
with a bit of friendly criticism.
/ think the wrong men are
being drafted just now. I hold
that il is foolish to be calling
middle-aged men into military
service when the woods are still
full of much younger men better
qualified physically, as the most
casual survey of any community
will prove.
At 40 and beyond the average
man is of no account for gen.
eral military purposes but is
merely an excellent prospect for
the pension list that future gen.
erations will have to bear.
These men should be used
only in industrial and other
productive war work unless
God forbid!-this nation finds
itself with its back to the wall
and needs every man-Jack of US
under arms.
TT IS said that IS per cent of
Il the men in our war industries
are under 80 years of age and
that so per cent of these are
not dependent upon their jobs,
which should be filled by older
men.
Yet the latter are being called
by draft boards throughout the
country. in some cases only to
waste the time of the examining
physicians and in many to the
economic detriment of the ma
ton.
The method of ALLEGATION to
the draft boards of men to be
drawn seems to be somewhat
awry.
For example, a board in an
agricultural section may be allo-
Gated 300 men while a board in
a city may be allocated only 200
men. The taking of 300 men
from any agricultural district is
obviously calculated to seriously
disturb the productiveness of

Il actions are guided by the
fact that we are TO move on

There is the matter OF food.
We buy almost no new food for
almost a month. We are de-

So day after day we live on

We eat chill con carT1e. We
eat canned lobster tails. We eat
all sorts of quick meals out OF
glass and tin. We don't dare
buy anything lest we have some
. thing left over. Toward the end
Of September. we get almost
frantic in our determination 10
eat every bit of bread. every old
potato, every darned onion,
every drop of butter in the
place.
OUR last meal in the place we
" are leaving is always a
gourmets nightmare. Nothing
is saved. Nothing is spared.
Everything is put on the table.
A handful of watercreSs. A bit
OF sour cream. An old fragment
of meat loaf. A remnant of
lamb chop. A slice or two of
rye bread that should have
joined its fathers long ago.
Even the pup. Cindy, must do
her share. She is asked 10 cat

We solve il this way:

be eager to serve and able to
fudge their way past the doc
tors, but who are clearly unfit
for any further active service.
/ do not say that these men
should not be called at all, but
do say they should not be

saloons are cleared of younger
men and then the old fellows
should be used to replace the
youngsters in the Office and war
production jobs.
The future of the middle-aged
men called to the service be.

employers want them as IL Is
and after the war they will have
little chance indeed against the
competition of the young fell

THE annual meeting of the
l. American Medical Asso-
citation is for most doctors in
North America the greatest
postgraduate educational oppor-
tunity of the year.
The lecture sessions in every
branch and speciality of medi-
cine present papers which rep
resent the newest discoveries
and Investigations.
A new section was added this
year on General Practice, which
is a healthy sign of the times,
when laymen ask me nearly
every day why they can't get
a good family doctor, TO whom
they can turn over all their
medical problems.
THE exhibits of manufacture
Il ers of drugs, instruments,
foods, baby foods, beds, pub
fishers of medical books (there
are at least II large firms OF
this character in North Amer
ica) provide sound education
and inspire the doctor TO reno
vate his equipment and keep up
with the times.
But the third educational fea-
ture of the session, the scientific
exhibit. has grown during the
last few years until il is really
first in educational value.
These exhibits. entirely non
commercial in character. are set
up by private doctors TO show
the work they have been doing
in their home town hospitals,
clinics or laboratory.
BY actual demonstrations or
photographs. in many cases
beautiful and elaborate draw
ings, and small motion picture
exhibits, the new ideas are
shown in a succession of booths
like a glorified county fair, on
the basis that one look at an
actual demonstration is worth
more than 1000 words read
from any manuscript.
