ices Branch, which handles the recruiting of volunteer workers for the Army, Navy, Red Cross and all war agencies. In other words, when volunteers want to contrib ute their services, the OCD War Services Branch acts as clearing house to see that they reach the war agency which needs them most and for which they are best qualified.
 If the House vote is not rem
 edied by the Senate, the Army,
 Navy, Red Cross and all the oth-
 CT agencies will now have to set
 up their own volunteer units,

(NeW Haven Journal Courier)
 Probably no announcement of bad news within the Yale family unless it be the bombing of the un- iversity by Nazi planes-Would be received with as much regret around the world as the news that William Lyon Phelps is seriously i'll in the hospital. The best loved pro- lessor of the last generation prob- ably has more friends among Yale men than any other personality they have met in New Haven But beyond the university circle, Dr.. Phelps has also many warm friend ships.
 One part of the Phelps person. ality that impressed everybody was his intense interest in activity. He seemed to exemplify the idea of Robert Browning on the subject of the full life. While Professor Phelps's advancing years-le is now 78-have slowed down his own par ticipation considerably, they have not dimmed his interest in the &C., tivities of other people. Now illness will enforce for time idleness and a separation from other people. The good wishes of all go to Billy" Phelps, together with sincere hope for his recovery.

Editors Note:

Editors Note:
 This is the introduction to series of talks Dr. Brady gives for his friends the Or timers. These articles will prove of great prac- ticaf value for young and middle aged adults who want to remain young or to retard the encoach- ment of age. Physicians interest cd in geriatricS will find that Dr. Brady'S advice supplements their work with their elderly patients.
 In the past five years there have been numerous new books dealing with geriatrics. Probably you have no idea what geriatic means. Hav- ing dipped into the new books pretty extensively I wonder if the people who knocked 'em together know what it means.
 Well, perhaps you know what pediatrics means. Just in case, let's make believe you don't and so I can tell you it means the branch of medicine dealing with children (pais or paidos being Greek for child, boy), their hygiene, physiol- ogy, nutrition, diseases. As spe- cialist the pediatrist takes over as soon as the obstetrician has made sure the baby is breathing all right and bids fair to be a good Democrat. and hangs on, in many instances, until the child eventually cuts loose and actually supports himself. say by the time he turns thirty.
 Geriatrics is that branch of med icine which deals with the hygiene, health and diseases of the aged (Geron being Greek for an old man, iatrikos meaning treatment or med cine).
 The new textbooks on the sub ject have practically nothing to say about the aged, their hygiene. health or diseases. Except in the preface. They are, like most medi- cal books of the day, obviously knocked together to sell; not writ ten by the nominal author under his own power or inspiration.
 The great beloved Dr. Abraham
 
 of pediatrics, although he never made a noise like specialist in all his life. Dr. Jacobi, born in Ger many in 1880, gave the first course of instruction in treatment of dis eases of infancy in 1859. and. true to tradition, the general medical profession of the time sneered at the new idea. That the Headers of medical thought were narrow minded and arbitrary, is evidenced by the fact that it was not until 37 years later that the first textbook of pediatrics appeared.
 In 1940 there were thirteen mil lion persons past 60. nine million past 65 years of age, in the United States.
 High time that the physical well being as well as the economic se- curity of all these people received some consideration.

against OWI, all but three were from the South. What reused them was a pamphlet Negroes in the War" issued by OWI. But what Southern Congressmen did not know was that Navy Intelli- gence and the FBI had reported a dangerous 5th Column cam paign inspired by Japanese to per- suade the Negro that this was white mans war.
 So the Armed services wanted the Office of War Information to issue booklet showing how ne- groes were. doing important things to help wi nthe war and were an actual part of it.
 In return, Southern Demo- crats voted to abolish the owl Domestic Branch.
 NOTE: Though all but five Re- publicans voted against OWI's Domestic Branch, 1t was headed by staunch Republican Gardner CoWles, Jr., of Iowa, publicity ad- wiser to Willkie; while it's new chief is Republican Palmer Hoyt of the Portland Oregonian, staunch supporter of vice-presi- dential candidate Senator Me- Nary.

 In times of peace, people are of- ten curious about religious matters, but when the hard realities of war come down upon them, they stop arguing about religion and begin to make inquiries about the possibilities of receiving spiritual help. Some people scoff at this, poke fun at those who begin to think about re- ligion as the hour of danger ap- breaches.

Because of albumen content is egg white injurious to the kidneys, if one has two raw eggs a day? (E. G. W.) AnsWer-No. The albumen in egg has nothing to do with kidney dis. ease. Raw eggs are all right if you prefer them raw but eggs cooked as you may prefer are more com-" pletely digested and hence more nurishing of the raw albumen is not absorbed. As for digestibility or case of digestion, it makes no difference how eggs are cooked best way is the way you like 'em cooked.
