DR.. H. H. Shoulders of Nashville
Tenn, farm-raised, farm-ownine

of q crossroads practitioner that
traces a trend:
Automobile Factor.
"He was happy there and busy
but the roads over which he Travelled
on horseback or by buggy became
paved roads. The farmers bought
cars. and 80 did he. In a short
while, he discovered that his pa
tients were going to the town a few
miles away for their medical care.
So he moved to town, and served
his patients from the town."
Many doctors moved. Others died
or retired. The pattern of rural
life changed, and the pattern of
medicines methods changed, too.
The automobile replaced old Dobbin
and the laboratory replaced the bag
full of mobile equipment.
But the chief factor in the short
age Is uneven distribution OF
physicians.

Because there is no single cause
there can't be single remedy A
search for solutions is in progress
Albert s. Goss, master of the Ma
tional Grange, said rural America
is rapidly getting up in arms over
the inadequate service"
MY organization does not be-

he said. I'VE believe there should
be a better way. Nevertheless, We
believe in adequate medical and
hospital service. and if it cannot be
found in some other way, I am very
sure the farmers win turn more and
more to State control"
Federal Grants May Help.
The consensus was that all parties
concerned should cooperate In
evolving plans. The problem is be-
ing studied by medical and farm
groups.
Much of the hope for improve

Northern Ireland to inspect the first

LONDON.-Amidst the gathering
gloom of a decade ago relatively
obscure prince and his consort were
crowned King and Queen Of the
British Empire and Commonwealth
May IL, 1887.
The world, though interested, was
not greatly impressed nor very ex-
cited. After Edward WIS dramatic
remuneration of his throne for love
Of an American woman and the in
tense emotionalism OF the previous
six months the coronation Of George
VI and Queen Elizabeth seemed one
of history's anticlimaxes.
In reality, OF course, 1t was a
finer moment than most people
realized. A highly important and
potentially dangerous transition had
been achieved with the least possible
fuss.
Edward Had Way.
Whatever the loyalties to the
former sovereign-and they were
many and strong - whatever the
feelings of resentment on the part
of many persons against what they
considered the drab respectability
of their Prime Minister, Stanley
Baldwin, and of the Archbishop Of
Canterbury; whatever the conflicts
in mems minds, the mother country
and the dominions and the crown
colonies rose generously to the sup
port of the new King.
With splendid common sense the
British people had weathered a
major crisis, but not before they
had endured many an anxious hour
Edward, who reigned so briefly, was
enormously popular, especially
among tough manual workers, GER
tain groups of the inte11igentsia and
the playboys and butterflies of cafe
society. His brother, the Duke Of
York, was not. Would bitterness
arise grave enough to shake the
solidarity of the worlds mightiest
empire?
Stabilizing Influence.
The coronation made it clear that
not only had all such fears been
groundless but that the throne and
the empire had, If anything, been
strengthened.
Once the flood of emotionalism
over Edwards abdication had sub
sided, people grasped that George
VI and his Queen would exercise
a stabilizing influence on the mon
archy and on Britain.
The new Kings difficulties were
obvious and manifold. A man of
no sharp, commanding personality,
he followed a genial, ebullient, i'm
petuous man known as an ambassa-
dor of good will the world over,
champion of the under-dog, gay fel-
low, despiser of cant, debunker Of

authority will come to the fore.
Two major conditions are neces-
sary If India Is to succeed in achiev-
ing nationhood. First, internal peace
must somehow be restored through
the transitional period. Second, the
country must be free Of external
threats until some stability Is
achieved.
On the external front, India will
clearly turn to Britain and possibly
to America for aid in warding of
any prospective poachers until it is
able to plan its own defense.
This country will also, according
to the present signs, look increas-
ingly to Britain and the United
States to help 1t get on its feet
economically. If internal order is
maintained, the market for western
goods and technical services will
probably be limited In the next
few years by the available amount

A Family Unit.

What would Shakespeare, who dealt
so brilliantly with ancient kings
make of the nervous newcomer, the
King Of whom 1t was said that he
would be a nonentity without the
reflected glory of his lively, amiable,
shrewd and quick-witted consort?
Men and women, finding a mere
practical level, came quickly to look
upon present majesty not as tow

vidual. but as family unit. The

quently.
The King and Queen, with their
two young daughters, rose steadily
in public estimation as exemplars of
irreproachable domesticity, as re-
vivers of simple traditions and ideals
and pleasures. Significantly, the
public mind gained a new respect
for the altars Of home life.
Disillusionment, Illustration, ran
cor, fierce antagonisn1s inherited
from the First World War, were
part Of the legacy bequeathed to
King George vi.
Rallied the Commonwealth.
Even as the King and Queen
made their coronation tour OF Scot
land, Wales and Northern Ireland
in that uneasy summer of 1887,
Britons wondered how soon they
would be obliged to use bomb shell
tiers and safety trenches. A year
later. when they paid state visit
to France, the most astute minds
considered war inevitable.
The little trips and ceremonial
functions Of 1887 and 1888 were
only q prelude to the royal tour
Of Canada and a small part of the
United States in May and June,
1889. In slightly more than a
month the encourage traversed the
continent, was entertained in Wash
ington by President Roosevelt and
saw the New York Worlds Fair
With war but a couple OF months

of rallying the commonwealth and

Conscientious Worker.
The King has become more
thorough, more painstaking, anc
more insistent upon clarity in state
craft. He gives minute attention te
all state papers.
He is considered to be thoughtful
follower of world events, through
consultations with his ministers and
others in the government, his con-
facts with foreign leaders, and close
examination Of newspapers and
periodicals.
Yet after 10 years of rule, at the
age of 81, King George VI, in the

subjects, stands with prestige un-

grandiose schemes.
/ Northern Italy vital.
According to some Of the more
Italkative Of Mr.. Togliatti's followers,
Rome and Southern italy are Of
little account In the Russian scheme
of things, but Northern Italy Is Of
vital Importance. Not only does it
contain the bulk Of italian industries
and some OF the most important
mercury mines In Europe, but 1t Is
so placed geographically that 1t links
the Slavs with France, the big Com
munist prize in the west.
Mr.. Togliatti is said to be biding
his time until American troops leave
Italy. Then, under the excuse that
the Rome government is still Fascist
and in the pay Of American cap
italisn, he is said to be planning
| to establish a truly democratic"
republic In the north, with Milan
as its capital.
The Communists north Of the Po
River are well armed and trained
to fight the weak and demoralized'
forces of the Rome government.
Mr.. Togliatti is also said to reckon
on full support from Marshal Tito,
who has recently strengthened con-
siderably the 4th Army, which is
poised on the Italian-Yugoslav
border.
The ratification Of the peace treaty
with Italy Is considered now not only
by substantial number Of Senators
but by the State Department, too,
according to reliable information, as
something which is no longer press
ing, In spite Of the fact that the
Senate committee has acted on the

Final Alternative.


The final alternative-the pre-
MUM price plan--was used success
fully during the war. The high-cost
producer could continue working a
n1ine-receiving from the Govern
ment the difference between his cost
of production and the price he can
get for the ore. Market prices are
not affected. This sliding-scale sys-
tenn, which originated in 1912 as a
means of getting critical metals for
war, would be extended under pro-
visions of the bill now before Con-
gress. 81
Whatever form the remedy takes,
there is general agreement that a
co-ordinated national minerals plan
must be brought into effect before
the existing program expires. Since
ore recovery is in the public interest,
the remedy is not in the caprices
of the open market: 1t Is in Govern
ment aid.
