CELEBRATED year. Tests for both the
military and civilian student bodies
ended yesterday. -
Students may be admitted topboth
departments at the opening OF any
one OF the four terms. The humber
anticipated, however, is small, sev-
eral civilians in the foreign service
courses have qualified for degrees.
but there will be no formal gradu-
alton in either department this win
ter. The college courses will con-
tinue as scheduled during the next
term.
Army and Navy men attending
the medical and dental schools are
on somewhat different schedule
and closing exercises will be held
there on December 10.
Col. Joseph S. Dougherty, in COM
mand of the ASTP at Georgetown,
said the Army cadets had worked
hard and deserved furlough. Less
than the expected 10 per cent had
been weeded out of classes since the
start of the new training program
and the remainder, he said, had
done well.
Though the accelerated program
is stiff one, Col. Dougherty said,
the Army feels that it is important
to maintain military discipline and
some military and physical training.
The Army trainees are mainly
privates who recently completed
basic military training.

The most notably successful fea-
ture Of the 9th American Philatelic
Congress, Pan-American Union
Building, was round table discus
sion of the cultural value of stamp
collecting, in which four distin-
guished educators participated last
Sunday afternoon.
According to Mrs. Icyl M. Kramer,
representative of the Chicago Board
of Education, stamps may be used
in teaching virtually every scho-
lastic subject" Francisco Caspedes
of Panama argued to much the
same effect, contending that stamps
tell a story more completely than
any school text" Miss Esther r.
Brown of the United States Office
of Education agreed that: Postal
paper is the most influential means
of acquainting teachers and stu

PARKWAY Liberia, the only re-
public on the African continent and
co-signer with the United States OF
lease-lend agreement, is having It's
imitation problems, too, according tc
Dowo Ketalo, Finnish-born Seventh
Day Adventist missionary on leave
from his post there with his wife
and daughter. This missionary fam
lily is now living in Takoma Park
after a 7-year term of service in
Liberia.
Wages in Liberia have jumped as
much as 300 per cent since the be-
ginning of the war. This upward
spiral has been brought about in the
main because of the greater employ
ment afforded by the establishment
of the two airfields built by the
United States, which make possible
an air journey from Monrovia, the
capital, to New York City in three
days. Increased production on the
rubber plantations, owned or sub
sidized by the Firestone Rubber Co.,
also has been a considerable factor
In prewar times, unskilled labor
received only to 9 cents a day
Now it receives approximately 20
cents an hour.
U. S., Is Best Customer.
Uncle Sam long has been Liberia S
best customer and biggest supplier
About the size and shape of Ten
nessee, Liberia was coloniZed by
freed American slaves in 1922, under
the auspices of the American Col
onization Society. Its national
motto is, The Love Of Liberty
Brought Us Here" an insignia which
appears on its seal. additionally a
protege of the United States, it's in
dependence was established in 1847.
It's principal yields include COCO
nuts. a good grade of coffee, cocoa,
cotton, rice and pepper. Practically
untapped sources of wealth are gold,
diamonds, copper, iron ore and zinc.
With hot. humid climate. an an
nual rainfall of l60 to 100 inches,
no railways, no good natural har-
bors, few navigable rivers and only
one main road from Monrovia into
the interior. malaria, sleeping sick
ness and diseases peculiar to the
tropics flourish because of an in
adequte knowledge of sanitation
and medical care.
Trained in London.
Trained in the Livingston School
of Tropical Medicine in London, Mr.
and Mrs. Ketalo, at the risk of their
lives and health, administered fear
lessly to thousands in the interior of
Liberia at the three mission stations
set up by the Seventh-Day Adventist
Board
In every case where it was pos
sible. medical treatment was not
given as a free-will offering but in
return for some specific service the
recipient could render, so that his
self-respect might be maintained
In all instances the closest Coop
Grafton was maintained with the
Liberian government at Monrovia
and Mr.. and Mrs. Katalo treasure

their efforts by the government SUI
perintendent of schools.

With Christmas almost literally
"just around the corner" and stores

morning until closing hours, the
problem of completing Christmas

Of the common items one was &C

But in the face Of these difficulties

Naturally" Mr.. Ketalo says, "the
contrasts are very great between
the 10000 enlightened Liberians in
government employ in Monrovia
and the 100000 to 100000 who
are in the interior"
The big chiefs are polygamous,
often with from $50 to 200 wives
and countless children. Monogamy
is practiced by those who are too
poor to afford more than one wife.
Progress is being made, through
education. in breaking up the prac-
tice Of the communal family eating
bowl, into which, twice a day, all the
members of family group dip for
their food. without any sanitary
precautions.
Caps, Shirts Prized.
Caps and shirts are general
badges of honor and are eagerly
sought by the natives. the shirts
being worn over the top of their
loin cloths. 1t is also the fashion
for the native mothers to braid
shells and leopards teeth into their
children's hair. British and Amer
lean pennies are highly priced as
permanent hair ornaments. One of
Mrs. Ketalo's proudest achieve
ments was when she induced a Lii
perian jungle mother to have her
child's hair washed and treated at
one of the missions, thus starting
new style of wearing charms
around ones neck or in bracelets
instead Of as part of an unwashed
head covering.
"Yaws," one of the most distress
ing native Liberian diseases. is gen.
orally communicated through the
hands and feet, and leads to general
Gripping and softening of the bones
when it is not treated Mr.. and Mrs.
Ketalo are proud of their high per-
centage Of cures and arrested cases
Of this dreaded ailment.
They had many attacks of a ma
laria themselves, as did their little
daughter during their mission work.
Despite all of the hardships and
dangers of their work in Liberia
Mr.. and Mrs, Ketalo are looking
forward to returning to their post.

President Roosevelt has COM
mended to all citizens the obser-
vance of the brotherhood of Man
in February. In his proclamation
he states:
THE perpetuation Of democracy
depends upon the practise of the
brotherhood of man. The Ameri-
can conviction in war as in peace
has been that man finds his free
dom only when he shares it with
others. People Of every nation every
race, every creed are able to live
together as Americans on this basis.
We are fighting for the right of
men to live together as members
of one family rather than as mas
tiers and slaves. We are fighting
that the spirit of brotherhood
which we prize in this country may
be practised here and by free men
everywhere. 1t is our promise to
extend such brotherhood earthwide
which gives hope to all the world
Many churches have for years
observed Race Relations Day on the

invalidating closed shop agree

The unions represent about 10000

contracts were against public pol

suffering on the part of our citizens
are willingly made in order that the
young men at the front will be
better prepared to cope with the
enemy" .sss.sss a..
The suit to abrogate the closed

new SCHOOL.
TAxMEA5URE
HITS WOMEN

A now school tax bill, introduced
in ii Hou by Rep. Andrew Gun
dersen, soon will come up for final
passage, amended to include wo-
men workers and also amended to
make the SIS levy apply to all per-
sons between the ages of 81 and
SIS.
Under the present law, women
are not taxed, men over so do not
have to pay the tax.
The amendment to include wo-
men was offered by the House Ways
and Means Committee, and the
amendment making men between
SO and SIS liable was introduced by
Rep. Christian A. Roust.
The bill is expected to greatly in
crease the school fund.
Women who are unemployed and
depend wholly upon the support of
their husbands who have paid the
tax would not be included.
