How Sober Hoskins
Cot His Name

Everybody kids Sober Hoskins
about his name. Of course, they
allow that it's appropriate. Sober
never drinks anything stronger
than u glass of beer. And a
harder worker in the fields there
never was.
"Shuclks," says Sober's dad.
1--WE named Sober Sober just
because he looked that way
when. he was born. Like we
called his sister Gay and his
other sister Prissy.' And it's had
its effect Oh all Of 'em," he adds
with spirit. (Prissy is the old
maid in the HOskins famiIy.)

From where I sit, there may
be something in what Sober's
dad says. Naming children after
virtues is d fine old American
custom. Look at the names of
our pioneers and pilgrims: Faith,
Pious, Charity, Hope, Ernest.
Maybe we should use such
names more often. And one I'd
like to add is Tolerance" If we
all had Tolerance for a middle
name, and lived up. to it, we'd
have a better, happier world.

National DENTAL Program
For Children Proposed

Establishment of national pro-
gram Of dental care for all children,
regardless Of family income, has
been recommended by leading dental
and professional men, following a
conference called by the Children's
Bureau.
The suggested program called for
appropriation Of Federal funds to
the Children's Bureau, which, in
turn, would make grants to State
health departments to provide dem
tai care, DR.. Martha M. Eliot, asso-
ciate chief of the bureau. said.
The conference recommended that
as beginning for such a broad pro-
gram of dental care, priority should
be given each year to children as
they enter school with followup care
throughout the school years. AS per-
sonnet and facilities increase, serv-
ices would then be expanded to take
IN both the older children and those
Of preschool age.

House Leaders Plan
To Call Up Nurse Bill
For Action on FRIDAY
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

House leaders planned today to
call up Friday the nurse draft bill
which got the green light from the
Rules Committee yesterday.
The measure is to reach the floor
after the House disposes of the de-
ficiency appropriations bill, which
was scheduled for consideration to-
day and is expected to require at
least two days.
If the debate on the deficiency
bill runs into Friday, the nurse bill
may be deferred until Monday
though Majority Leader Mccormick
expressed hope 1t could be consid-
cred before the end of the week.
Senate Action Uncertain.
Administration supporters in the
House agreed that it should act
promptly on the urgent request OF
the War Department for action to
meet the critical shortage of nurses
regardless of what attitude the Sem
ate may take. There has been little
indication of what is likely to hap
pen to the measure in the Senate
where interest has been centered In
the snarled-up manpower bill.
While the nurse bill has not been
made a partisan issue, and num-
Der OF Republicans are supporting
it, sharp opposition is expected when
1t reaches the floor.
The Rules Committee recon-
mended to the House that general
debate on the measure be limited
to two hours and that all germane
amendments be in order. Numer-
Gus amendments are expected to be
offered.
The bill was introduced by Chair
man May of the Military Affairs
Committee AS reported out by the
committee, 1t authorizes the selec-
tive service director to require the
registration of all nurses who have
reached the age of 20 and are not
past A and to induct into the armed
forces those eligible under the act
Specifically exempt would be mar
ried nurses and those classed BY
the War Manpower Commission s
procurement and assignment serv-
ice as engaged in essential civilian
work. Draft boards would be re-
quired to exhaust qualified gradu-
ates Of the Cadet Nurse Corps be-
fore calling nurses in general prac-
tice.
11,000 Are Needed.
Ofhcers of the Army Surgeon
Generals Office told the Military At
fairs Committee last week that 49,
900 nurses were needed as soon as
possible. This would make the total
number of Army nurses 10000, and
still more may be needed, it was
conceded, depending on future cas-
ualtieS.
The Nays estimate of its needs
have run from 1000 to 1000, and
officials Of the Navy Department
are supporting the legislation, al
though their requirements are less
urgent and they feel these will be
met by volunteers.
The May bill provides that nurses
may continue to volunteer, even
after the bill becomes law.

Federal Aides,
80 10 3, 70 Lose
Draft Stays
Must Hold Scientific
Or Technical Jobs
To Retain Status
By MIRIAM OTTENBERG.

A majority OF the Government
workers in the 1898 age bracket
are going to lose their occupational
deferments unless they are doing
scientific or technical work, Dis
trict draft spokesman said today.
This official said he expected the
stricter deferment regulations for
men in this age group, made public
over the week end, would hit hard"
at Government laborers, clerks mes
sengers and others who were de-
ferred simply because they held
Government jobs.
In the future, he said, working
for the Government will not be suf-
ficient reason to warrent deferment
Of a man in the 1898 age group.
The mans job, he explained, must
be necessary"
Hopes for Delay.
Edgar Puryear, chairman of the
Review Committee on Government
Deferments, said he hoped it would
not be necessary at this time to
draft great many of the men in
this age group, but added that here
after his committee will apply the
stricter rules for deferment in line
with the new regulations.
AS for the men under 80, Mr.. Pur-
year said he realized the Govern
ment will have to lose q great
number" Of these men.
He pointed out, however, that
outside of the Army and Navy, the
Federal agencies had only 6,770
physically At men under 80 deferred.
Included amo lg them are the Dis
trict's youngel policemen, firemen,
auditors, building inspectors and
other municipal employees.
The Review Committee is one of
the Is Government groups charged
with recommending deferment Of
indispensable and irreplaceable"
men under 30. Mr.. Puryear said his
committee is now working out the
details of selecting the men whose
deferment will be recommended.
To Choose by Age.
Under the new draft instructions,
II was learned, men will be drafted
by age groups instead OF by their
status as fathers or nonfathers
and fathers in the 1929 age group
before going over 80 for nonfathers
and finally fathers. Previously, sin
gle men in all age groups were
called ahead Of fathers who were
also in Ia.
On the score Of losing deferred
status, District draft headquarters
explained that deferred men under
30 will keep their deferments until
the new deferment requests are filed,
until the deferment expires or until
April l, whichever is earlier.
Men in the 1898 age group. it was
explained, will keep their deferments
until they would normally run out.
until the draft board goes over
all files to make more men avail
able to fll a. call or until the Dis
trict Board Of Appeal is given their
cases to review. The appeal board
gets the cases to review when the
men work here but are deferred by
boards in other Jurisdictions.

pointed to succeed Gen. Watson
one as a military aide and the other
