THE THING that's keep
ing me busy these days is a
land grant case I've been
fighting out in oregon since
I filed the first papers as a
young attorney out there in
1907. The case is still going
strong, and it will probably
still be going on long after
I'm gone.
Il went out to see the Con-
gresSional ball game this year.
Il was captain of the Re-
publican team in 1911. l was
just IS years old then. We
played August 7 on the old
Georgetown Athletic Field at
Georgetown University. l
think they made me captain
as sort of a joke. l was
what they called a Progress
sive Republican.
"As a matter of fact, in
1912 / was nominated for
Congress on both the regular
Republican and the Bull
Moose tickets.
That ball game in 1911 was
interrupted while all the
players and spectators looked
up to watch an airplane fly
over. 1t was piloted by 1t.
H. H. Arnold, on his way from
College Park to Fort Myer.
The color was really great
at this years game. All the
drill teams looked very good.
But when it came down to
the playing well, they
weren't as good as we were in
1911. Not any better, anyway.
Il guess it's human nature
to look back on something
that happened years ago as
better than anything that
could happen today.
when l first came down to
Congress, l was a compare
lively young man. But l was
already looking back to days
of 1901 as better than 1911.
It's like Lord Byron said:
He seems to have seen
better days, as who has not,
who has seen yesterday"

It's still Q-W-E-R-T-Y!


After a four month experiment
to determine whether a sim
olified typewriter keyboard should
replace the standard keyboard,
the Government has decided to

The top line of letters of the

One Group Retrained
One of the group of typists
was retrained to use machines
with the simplified keyboard
After this group had attained
speeds they had shown on the
standard keyboardS, the second
group of standard keyboard users
was brought in.
The two groups were then
given supplementary training to
increase proficiency on their re-
spective keyboards.
Dr. Strong gave these conclu-
sions:
Simplified keyboard typists
showed less improvement in
speed and less accuracy than did
the standard keyboard typists
over the whole period of the ex-

Alexandria Hospital boasts its

Student doctors from over the
world are learning the healing
arts at the nearby Virginia in
1t isn't unusual to hear
a dozen languages during a tour
of the hospital.
During recent years. nearly all
of the intern and resident ply
sician staff have been foreign
born. At present the hospital
has seven foreign residents and
eight interns. A new group ar
rived yesterday.
A hospital spokesman said
many small hospitals accept
foreign student doctors. He said
there aren't enough graduates OF
American medical colleges to fill
the intern and resident physician
requirements of the Nations
hospitals. Hospitals associated
with medical colleges get most of
the graduates of American
schools. Alexandria Hospital
does not have an affiliation with
a medical school.

States and the people of other
countries"
Charles M. Golf, Alexandria
Hospital administrator, said the
applications of the foreign doc
tors are carefully screened by an
Intern and Residency Committee
of the institution. The commit
tee is composed of four members
of the medical staff, who also
map out the training program.
After their applications are ac-
.cepted, they must be issued a
permit by the Virginia Board of
Medical Examiners before they
can be employed by the hospital.
Applicants must be accepted for
training before they can enter
the United States.
Better Facilities Here
Mr.. Golf said most of them
come to this country because
better hospital facilities are avail
able and to observe American
medical practices. All are grad
yates of foreign medical schools
and. in many cases. have served
IinternshipS in hospitals abroad
or in this country before they
come to Alexandria Hospital.
The interns and residents work
under direction of staff doctors.
They receive Sl35 to $3.50 a
month and room and board from
the hospital The majority are
single and live in buildings
owned by the hospital.
One Of the new interns is DR.
YuHua Chao. a Chinese woman
who said she came to America
because she wanted to learn
much"
Her husband, who stayed be-
hind, is a history teacher. She
said she will return to FormoSa
after serving here a year and
probably set up her own practice
in obstetrics.
A new resident physician is
Dr.. Ludovic j. DeVocht of Ant
Werp, Belgium. He served an IN
ternship and one year of res
idency at Cincinnati hospitals

Army for nearly three years
where he was a captain in the
Medical Corps. DR. DeVocht has
become a United States either

County Weed.
Committee To
Redirect Efforts

A survey of petitions for the
creation of a legal weed district
on a countrywide basis showed that
the necessary 51% Of the land In
Richland County had not been
signed UP, according to Arthur An
derson, Weed Committee chair
man.
As a result of the failure to ere
ate a weed district over the entire
county the committee decided to
recirculate petitions this fall COW
ering the portions of the county
that are definitely in favor of a
District According to the Mon
tana Weed Laws a legal weed dis
trict can be formed in any desig-
mated portion of a county.
The portion of the county def
nitely in favor of a weed district
included all the irrigated Land and
and the main dryland farming
areas of the county. Areas of the
county having large tracts of
rangeland were not interested in
the formation of a district.
BY circulating petitions over the
entire county the Weed Committee
feels that farmers and ranchers
in all sections of the county were
given an opportunity to express
their wishes.
The committee also feels that
it is a must to create a weed
district in the main farming areas
of the county to keep the peren-
NAL weed problem from getting
out of hand as 1t has in many
counties of the state.
