Prejudice against women doctors
has kept the number of women
practicing medicine in the United
States proportionately smaller
than in Russia, England, and many
other European countries. In addi-
ton to being unfair to thousands
of capable women, such discrimi-
nation is depriving our nation OF
much-needed medical care, and
of the special talents women bring
to caring for the sick, according
to Selwyn James. Discussing the
obstacles lady physicians have to
battle against, in Redbook Maya
zine for June, he points hopefully
to the growing public recognition
they are beginning to receive.
To-day there is growing aware
ness among the lay public that
women doctors are endowing the
medical fraternity not only with
the skill and knowledge that
makes good physicians, but also
with those age-old feminine tai
ents for patience, endurance,
manual dexterity and simple hu-
man kindness.
"The hostility to female physi-
clans is depriving our nation of
much-needed medical care. The
health of millions of Americans is
jeopardized today by a chronic
shortage of doctors, variously
estimated at between 10000 and
10000. Given half a chance,
women can make up a sizeable
part of the deficiency.
"At present they get somewhat
less than half a chance. Fewer
than 5000 women are practicing
medicine today. Contrast this with
the situation in backward Eu-
rope. In Britain, for instance,
more TIM seventeen per cent of
all licensed physicians are women.
And behind the Iron Curtain a
patient probably would be aston
ished if man doctor treated him,
for Russia's medical corps is
eighty-five per cent female.
"a nationwide survey con-
Quoted in 1916 by the New York
Infirmary showed that forty-two
per cent of our hospitals still kept
their doors closed to women in

Address Given

This reporter believes, however.
that a measuring stick should be
whether or not, you as citizen
have lost or may lose your individ-
ual freedoms guaranteed you by
the constitution and the bill Of
rights; whether controls by the gov
eminent to keep employment on
the farms and factories up and
prices down are socialistic; wheth-
er taxation plays such role in
your economy as TO become I'M
bearably oppressive.
So let's hear what the folks in the
home town think OH this subject:
Is the government moving towards
socialism? Write me, if you will

All Are Branded

The housing and slum clearance
bill, federal aid to education bill,
the bill for compulsory health in
surance, expansion of social secu-
rity laws, the various proposals to
create river valley authorities, any
bill which would provide for a fed
eral grant-in-aid to the states, the
Brannan agricultural program and
numerous other measures all
have been branded as definitely
socialistic in nature by one or more
of the large organizations which
maintain Hobbies here to influence
legislation.
Even our farm cooperatives have
been branded with the socialistic
label. 1t has come to the point that
every so-called liberal piece of
legislation which comes before con-
gress is being measured by the
socialist yardstick. Of course there
are as many definitions for the
word liberal as there are writ
ers, but as this reporter views it,
liberal legislation is any measure
which has for its objective the elm
ination of any inequalities or tribu-
lations of any great mass of the
people through federal help in
money or regulatory control.

Socialism Defined

The dictionary says socialism is
reconstruction of society on the
basis of cooperation of labor ard
community of property; or govern
ment control of economic activities
so that competition will give way to
cooperation and the rewards of
labor be equally apportioned. That
is the orthodox Marx brand of
socialism, but the modern or gar
den variety of socialism appears to
be content with a more adequate
distribution of wealth through So
cial reforms by political agencies.
They want naturalization of such
resources as railroads, mines and
other properties, but do not advo-
cate abolition of the profit system
nor the right to own private prop
erty.
Although anyway you view it
socialism does not fit into the
American system of free COMPETE
ton and individual freedoms, the
question arises-does any reform ad-
vocated by the Socialist party be-
come socialistic in fact? For in
stance as far back as 1908 the
Socialist party platform advocated
conservation and development of
natural resources; scientific re-
forestation; storage of flood waters
and utilization of water power; es-
adjustment of minimum wage
scales; five and one-half-day week;
old age pensions and survivors in
surance: a graduated income tax;
equal suffrage; direct primary;
vocational education; a separate
labor department and conservation
of public health and establishment
of an independent health bureau.
These reforms are in the law today.
Are they socialistic?

pirate to themselves the great
redemptive work accomplished
by the Son of God; Who was
in very deed and truth "God
manifest in the flesh"
/ When Jesus said to Thomas,
"He that hath seen Me hath
seen the Father" He meant
that though men, in a measure,
had seen God in angels, pro-
iphets and apostles, when they
saw Him, Who was the image
of the person of the Father, the
brightness of His glory, they
saw God Himself. Every man,
therefore, who by the eye of
faith sees Christ, "God mani
fest in the flesh" sees God the
Father; for in Christ dwelt call
the fullness of the Godhead
bodily" and the Holy Spirit
was given to Him without
measure.
Of all men and women who
neglect their souls, it may
rightly be said that they are
lost. If tomorrow, as you are
standing on the sidewalk in
Chicago admiring one of the
skyscrapers, you see a man fall
ing out of fourteenth-story
window, you will no doubt re-
mark to those around you, "He
is dead!" Yes; He is in the
same position as the man who
neglects his soul and is living
in sin; for the same force that
brings the falling man down
the first ten feet will carry him
headlong the rest of the way.
And when the law of sin reigns
within, that man is lost; for the
Bible says, '"The soul that sim
meth, it shall die"
This applies not only to bias
phemers, atheists, worldlings,
but to millions of Church men,
bers who only neglect-neglect
neglect.
To neglect the House of God
means to be lost, ruined, and
doomed. And to many Church
members the Lords Supper has
no significance; they remain
away from the Lords Table
without a single qualm of con-
science. They neglec Gods
House, the Lords Table, they
neglect the family altar, the
Bible, the Prayer Meeting, and
they neglect private prayer.
They do nothing in the service
of God.

of man. Nature is memorable
and will collect the. price every
time! There is no escape from
it. You say, "The Devil did
this" "The Devil did that"
"The Devil put this Cor that)
upon me-" when the truth is
you brought it on yourself in
violation of law. The Devil did
not destroy that strawberry
bed; he did not destroy that
herd of horses, he did not make
an imbecile of the man who
wholly neglected his mind;
but NEGLECT is the answer.
It is generally thought that!
the only people who go to hell
are those who are openly and
VIGOROUSLY wicked, those who
commit vile sins, but that is
not so. Every man who neglects
Salvation will go to hell. He
may never have lied, never
taken the Name of God in vain,
never have committed adul-
terry, nor been dishonest, nor
touched tobacco or liquor, -
and yet he is lost and doomed.

statements in the Bible, the
truth of which is verified by
the study of Nature, her laws,

from violating her laws.
AS neglect of the body caus-
es it to become bestial and robs

being, just so neglect of the
soul will atrophy, dwarf,
shrink and paralyze it.
Nature deprives a mole of
it's sight because it lives where
it has no need of eyes. In Echo
River, three hundred feet be-
low the top of Mammoth Cave,
are fish that are blanched per-
fectly white. Scientists who
have made a special study of
the Crustacea in Mammoth
Cave say that as one looks at
some of these specimens one
will see what appears to be
pair of eyes, but on examina-
| ton the optic nerve is discov-
cred to be paralyzed and shriv-
eled until it is smaller than the
| finest thread. When fish chose
to live in the darkness of Nam
moth Cave they had no use for
eyes, and Nature rewarded
them accordingly. Jesus. ask
ed of certain people: "Having
eyes, see We not? and having
| ears, hear We not?" Therein lies
a marvellous truth. Let your
| right arm hang at your side
long enough and it will become
paralyzed and utterly useless.
The same thing is true of any
talent which you possess. Nom
use means loss. God punishesI
men and women not only for
the abuse of their talents and
powers, but for the nonuse of
them.

Little things often change the
course Of a human life. That was
true in the case of Alfred Russell
Wallace. While he was In young
manhood, he spent a short period
as a teacher at the Collegiate School
in Leicester, England. He enjoyed
the work hardly at all. but he be-
came the friend Of another teacher,
Henry Bates.
The little thing" which changed
the life of Wallace was the fact that
Bates liked to collect insects. Look
ing at the insects which his friend
had collected, young Wallace decid-
ed to follow the same hobby. Often
he made trips into the country
around Leicester to collect butter
flies and beetles. Within 10 miles OF
the town he found hundreds OF
kinds of these insects.
Shortly after he adopted the hob
by. Wallace read book written by q
man who had visited the valley OF
the Amazon River. He talked abou,
the book with Bates. and spoke OF
the vast number OF butterflies and
