Cotton Textile Shortage
Reported Growing Worse
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Mar. 31.-Cotton
textile markets remained quiet this
week, with no prospect Of improve
ment in supplies for the civilian
market, which faced the tightest sit
uation thus far in 1915.
Mills were in a sold-up condition
on Government orders and declined
to book further pending clarifica-
ton of the wage and ceiling ques-
tions and expected amendment OF
the new apparel order, M-388.
Small lots of print cloths, sheet
ings and baggings goods were sold
from time to time on high priority
Mills were assigned quotas on bag
ging goods involving class A and B
slleetings for delivery by April 10
and destined for Canada. There was
some additional business on the ex-
tended childrens wear program The
Navy wanted 1000, 900 yards of drills.
Wool goods were scarce with the
situation worsening for civilian mar
kets. Mills repeatedly received pre-
liminary notification Of third-quar-
ter Government needs.

BY DOROTHY DUCAS

days earlier and in better condition than he
might otherwise.
Physical therapy is coming of age in the
United States 1t is used in civilian hospitals,
industrial clinics, public-health agencies and
physicians Offices. Today it offers a promising
future as postwar career for men and
women.
Men injured in industrial accidents patients
suffering from arthrits, neuritis, rheumatic
feve-, children with infantile paralysis - all
can be relieved and improved by various kinds
of physical therapy.
But there are not enough PTS to go around
today. The demand for PTS so far exceeds the
supply of qualified workers in this field that
it is estimated another 5000 could be employed.
Free Scholaxships
10 MEET this critical shortage, The National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, which felt
the lack so keenly during last years infantile
paralysis epidemics, is offering free scholar
ships to men and women with proper pre-
requisites. Those trained under the scholar
ships will not be required to devote themselves
exclusively to patients with infantle paralysis.
1T will be enough to know that qualified
workers exist, to be called upon in time of
emergency" explained Miss Catherine Worth
ingham, director of technical education for the
National Foundation.
In hospitals throughout the land PTS are
at work Their activities range from bed exer-
cises for patients recovering from abdominal
surgery to ultraviolet and infra-red ray treat
ments for bodies crippled by disease and acci-
dent. Their uniforms are like nurses -
but some wear the blue, yellow and white
insignia of the American Physiotherapy
Association on their left arms. Remember
them. They are the health workers of the future
- have proved themselves in two wars and
on the home front - are welcomed wherever
broken bodies seek strength for normal mo-
tions
They are doing fine job. They will do even
more when the future brings more of them to
the wards and clinics where war veterans and
civilians alike seek the long. hard road back
to health and vigor.

School of Physical Therapy, received her clini-
cal practice at Valley Forge General Hospital.
Phoenixville Pa She was then transferred to
the Medical Department with rank of End
Lieutenant Until March. 1945. she served in
hospitals in the United States.
Lieutenant Matchett is especially interested
in the problems of men who have lost arms
or legs. She is able to offer them much-needed
encouragement, because she has seen men re-
gain normal functions in hospitals here at
home. Half of the battle is assuring the vet
erans of future awaiting them in the United
States.
PTS are most important in amputation
centers abroad But they also work in general
hospitals at home Physical therapy. used

injuries, can help a man get out of bed many
