For example, sur
geons treating a badly-scarred young
man found il necessary to graft to
his chin piece of skin from another
part of his body. No beard grew on
the grated skin, of course, and there
was an unsightly, SCARED spot on the
young mans face.
DR.. Pickrell artfully tattooed into
the graft suitable pigment, so that
pattern resembling natural, bearded
skin was formed.
In some other cases he has built
up likenesSes of eyebrows and hair
lines on the lips.
The doctor considers this tattooing
chiefly useful for giving natural col
oring to facial skin CRAFTS.

Captain Patterson explained.
''The need for medical techni-
clans in Army hospitals is in
creasing daily, as is the need for
women to serve in other assign
ments," the officer declared,
but the Army realizes that
though many women desire to
enlist, they wish to remain at
home during the holiday season.
The result is an extension of the
ordinary deferment period of 80
days to include the Christmas
holidays"
Those women enlisting as
medical technicians will be
given six weeks basic training,
upon completion of their defer
ment period, after which they
will be sent to an Army school
for training in the specific job
they have chosen, Captain Pat
terson said They will then be
assigned to duty in an Army
hospital.
There are numerous jobs open
in the field of medical technol-
ogy No experience is necessary
for acceptance under the medi-
cal technology program, the only
requirements being that a wom-
an be between 20 and 49 years
of age, without children under
IA and Rossessor of at least q
high school education. Women
with two years or more of high
school education or better may
also enlist in the Women's Army
Corps for general assignment
provided they are between 20

WASHINGTON SCENE
BY George Dixon

7 AM almost going nuts from
l. curiosity. President Roosevelt
has a picture which has made
half the Senate and most of the
cabinet double up in hysterical
laughter-but / can't find out
what the picture is about.
1t must be terrific because
everybody who has seen it goes
off into uncomfortable outlaws
at the mere mention. But not
one will give me the details.
They just leer.
All l have been able to learn
is that the picture has some
thing to do with Donald Nelson
and his trip to China.
MY OPERATIVES covering
WI the meeting of FDR and
Churchill in Quebec have just
sent back this dopey story:
They said Churchill became
perturbed because Roosevelt
was attracting the attention OF
the populace. while the prime
minister was being virtually
ignored.
AS they told il. huge crowds
swarmed around Roosevelt,
pointing and gesticulatlng,
everywhere he went. But utter
silence greeted Churchill.
So Churchill hired a spy 10 20
among the Roosevelt-acclalmlng
throngs and find out what they
were saying. When the spy re-
turned. Churchill said:

down again and they were point

French. What were they say

gave her the cold eye but she
remained impervious. Finally

Tor proteins. II one were in
clined TO carp at Nature one
could point out that one of its
major mistakes, IL not its major
mistake. was in not giving
plants the power to take nitro
gen out of the atmosphere, as
they do carbon dioxide.
In order TO build their pro-
teins they must get the nitro
gen from the soil. Some of the
plants are very good at this
the legumes, and this is be-
cause OF all living creatures only
certain kinds of bacteria can re-
move nitrogen from the air and
these bacteria inhabit nodules
on the roots of the legume fam
lily. Leguminous plants so
blessed - particularly soybeans
provide the most promising
substitute for animal foods

known.
The protein molecule is
huge loose structure made up of
a number of amino acids. Our
edible plants furnish with
-mnSt-of- the essential amino
acids and the animal body syn
thesizes these into proteins of
building blocks of the animal
body. The building blocks are
fairly easy to get from plants.
but growth proteins are not so
certain on purely vegetable
diet, and for that reason we OBJ
tam them in practice mostly
from animal foods. The lac
tating glands Of animals which
produce food for the young

glands which produce the germ
OF the young-eggs, naturally
contain these growth elements
and we use them.
Besides the energy and the
protein plants extract from the
soil the calcium, phosphorus,

which we need.
