Leg o' Iamb and bonnet new, two
Easter traditions. But leg o' lamb i3
not the only roast suitable for thi3
Sunday which Etands out above all
other Sundays of the year. You can
have as much fun selecting jour
lamb roast a3 you do your Easter hat
and there are almost a3 many
styles from which to choose. "Be your
family large or small, be your budget
rigid or elastic, be the dinner stately
or simple, there is a lamb rcast to
meet your need," says Inez S. Yillsou,
home economist.
Spring vegetables rally valiantly to
the cauce when planning you Easter
menu around lamb; they seem to have
a special affinity for thi3 delicately ;
flavored meat. Fruit3, a3 an appe
tizer, make an excellent beginning
for the Eacter dinner, or you may
punctuate the meal with a fruit salad,
or finish with a flourish by serving
a simple fruit dessert.
In the menu suggested below any
lamb rcast may be used instead of
the leg and the menu may be added
to or taken from to make the din
ner more elaborate or simpler, a3 one
wishes.

All kinds of commtrciat print
ing done promptly atthe Journal
Army in Service
to Battle Disease
in the Nation
Survey Shows That Hundred Arc En
listed to Save Human Life
From Disease.
New York, N. Y. A standing
army, roughly estimated at more than
a million and a half persons, is en
listed, directly or indirectly, in
caring for the sick and preventing
disease in the United States. This
great force includes the skilled group
of physicians and surgeons together
with dentists, nurses, osteopaths,
chiropractors, naturopaths and heal
ers of various kinds. In its rank and
file are pharmacists, drug clerk3,
laboratory and clerical assistants,
hospital workers and superintend
ents, and medical social workers, a
recently annexed group which has
already contributed definitely to the
healing art.
Analysing this standing army, -statisticians
cf one of the leading life
insurance companies list 161,000
legally qualified physicians at its
head. The statisticians state that
the number of doctors per unit of
population has been declining stead
ily since the beginning of the cen
tury, although the United States still
has tho highest per capita propor
tion of any country in the world.
They report 125 physicians per 100,
000 inhabitants in 1930; 137 in
1920; 164 in 1910, and 173 in 1900.
Thi3 decline is attributed to a stiffen
ing of the qualifications demanded
before a license to practice medicine
is granted.
The number of physicians in the
country appears to be adequate. But
the tendency of doctors to congre
gate in the larger urban centers.
which in many instances are prob
ably overstaffed, leaves many rural
areas suffering from an under-supply
of physicians. j
"One interesting phase of the prob
lem of medical care," the statisti
cians comment, "is the direct rela
tion between the per capita income
in different sections of the country
and the concentration of physicians.
As income increases, so, too, does
the ratio cf physicians. In the South,
with the lowest per capita income in
1929, there was the smallest number
of physicians per. 100,000 population,
namely, 100 per 100,000 in the East
South Central states, 107 in the West
South Central states, and 111 in the
South Atlantic states.
"On the other hand, the Pacific
coa3t. New England and Middle At
lantic states, with the greatest con
centration of income had the largest
ration of doctors, that is: 159 per
100,000 in the Pacific Coast states,
140 in New England, and 138 in
the Middle Atlantic states."
The ratio of trained nurses to
population i3 reported as increasing
rapidly from 16 per 100,000 in 1900
to 90 in 1910, 141 in 1920. and 240
in 1930 an increase of 1,400 per
cent in 30 years. In 1930, 55 per
cent of the graduate nurses were en
gaged in private duty; 9 per cent
in public health work and industrial
medical service; and 36 per cent
served in hospitals and clinics.
Nurses also have a tendency to set
tle in the larger communities, where
wealth is greatest and hospitals most
numerous. In addition, about 150,
000 women of all degrees of skill
meet a real need in time cf sickness
by acting as practical nurses.
About 500 physiotherapists and 1,
400 clinical laboratory workers are
also reported as serving physicians
directly. To this number must be
added 3,000 masseurs, some of whom
work under doctors orders, while
ethers do not.
TheEe statistics are not as definite
as could be desired, but the insur
ance company's statisticians consid
er these estimates as accurate as they
could be made by the committee of
the costs of medical care "after sev
eral years of research.
Dentistry, which ha3 become re
cognized as an important form of
medical service, has shown real pro
gress since the beginning of the cen
tury. In 1900 there were about 30,
000 dentists in the United States, or
39 to every 100,000 in the popula
tion; in 1930 there were more than
70.000 dentists, or 58 to every 100,
000 persons. Dental assistants and
attendants have increased from two
per 100,000 in 1910, the first year
the United States census listed this
occupational group, to 11 in 1930,
which is equivalent to 14,000 work
ers. In addition the committee lists
more than 2,000 oral hygienists, 10,
000 dental technicians, and 10,000
other dental assistants of various
kinds.
Among those providing a variety
of health service, the 1930 census
lists about 36,000 other practicion
ers, or about one fourth the number
of qualified physicians, classified as
osteopaths, chiropractors and "heal
ers." It also lists what may be term
ed "secondary practicioners," such
as 47,000 mid-wives, 5,000 chiro
podists and 20,000 optometrists, who
perform only certain specified serv
ices. In the standing army must also be
included a group of 570,000 people
divided as follows: hospital superin
tendents and personnel, 553,000; the
other clinical attendants, 5,000; the
health department workers, 11,500,
and several thousand workers in pri
vate health organizations.
In 1931, there were also more than
200,000 people engaged in compound
ing and dispensing medicines. These
were divided into about 125,000 reg
istered pharmacists, 17,000 assistant
pharmacists, and 60,000 apprentice
pharmacists.
These, with the increasingly im
portant group of 2,500 medical so
cial workers, complete the enumer
ation of the personnel engaged in
providing health services for the peo
ple of the United States.
Commission to
Send Men to
Washington
Nebraska Will Join Other States in
Opposing Holding Bill in the
United States Senate.
The railway commission voted Fri
day, Commissioner Bollcn dissenting,
to send Commissioner Maupin and
Attorney Vail to Washington to rep
resent the interests cf the state in
several important matters before i
congress and the federal communi-j
cations commission. I
The two will attend the senate
hearings on what i3 known as the
holding company bill, and join the
other forty-six states that have com
missions in opposing various pro
visions in the measure.
"Public attention has been so gen
erally centered on the bill," said
Chairman Drake, "because of the
holding company section, which is
only one cf a number. The intent of
the sections which we oppose i3 to
remove from state commissions the
regulation of public utilities and
center it all in a gigantic bureau at
Washington. Thi3 js not in the pub
lic interest, and we propose to help
all we can to defeat thi3 new effort
to centralize power at the national
capital."
Over Bollen's objection the com
mission voted to ask each party to
the suit brought by Bollen against
Auditor Price to halt the issuance of
refund checks to farmers who paid
excess corn inspection fees thru the
commission to file their briefs with
in the shortest possible time and ask
for an advancement.
The supreme court will cease hold
ing sittings in June, and it i3 desir
able that a speedy decision be ren
dered, it is set out in the resolution
adopted. It also recites that the leg
islature has directed the commission
to refund these excess fees; that Bol
len sought and was denied in district
court an injunction, but has appeal
ed to the supreme court; that the
matter is of great importance to the
farmers, and that submission can be
secured at June 3rd session cf at
torneys will expedite filings.
NORMS ALTERS HOLC BELL
Washington. Without a record
vote, the senate adopted an amend
ment to the home owners lean bill
to permit new applications by dis
tressed home owners for mortgage
loan3 for sixty days after enactment
of the measure.
The liberalization was added by
Senator Norris to the house bill
which increased the bond-issuing au
thority of the Home Owners Loan
corporation from 3 billions to $4,
750,000,000. Final passage of the
bill went over until Friday.
The senate previously had adopted
43 to 30 an amendment by Senator
Russell barring employment of men
who are officers or employes cf pri
vate firms engaged in lending money
on real estate. Any such men now
on the HOLC payrolls would have
to be dismissed within ninety, days.
DANCED TO VIRGINIA REEL
Reedsville, W. Va. The charming
Virginia Reel, danced by courtly
gentlemen and their ladies when
America was jounger, is the favorite
square dance figure of the first lady
of the land.
At the personal request of Mrs.
Roosevelt, that tune was played by
barn dance fiddlers while she danced
with her homesteader friends at the
Arthurdale subsistence project on an
unannounced visit one week ago. It
was all "off the record" so the home
steaders said nothing about it until
Mrs. Roosevelt fist described the
dance at Washington Thursday.
200 Miiiion
Rail Crossing
Plan Outlined
President Announces Friday Govern
ment Will Snsh Money Out
of Work Belief Fund.
Washington, April 12. rrerldent
Roosevelt announced Friday the fed
eral government will rush a 200 mil
lion dollar grade crossing elimin
ation program out of the work relief
fund.
Pointing to the tragic death of 14
school children in a grade crossing
accident at Rockville, Md., last night
as convincing proof of the need of
immediate measures, the president
said this procedure would be follow
ed: 1. The federal government will
pay the entire cost of the projects,
except for the land which must be
purchased by the states or munici
palities. 2. Only grade crossings on main
line railroads will be included in the
program.
Eurden of Roads.
The president said the work would
be administered by the agriculture
department's bureau of roads.
Because the railroads have been
abandoning many branch lines, the
president said elimination cf grade
crossings on nsytbing but main lines
might be wasteful. He declared bus
and branch line traffic on railroads
unprofitable.
Cites Importance.
With the advent of high-speed,
stream-lined trains on main lines,
the necessity of grade crossing elim
ination becomes increasingly import
ant, the president said.
He discussed the program with Un
dersecretary of Agriculture Sugwell,
who will direct the work.
The president also took up with
Robert Fechner, Civil Conservation
Corps director, plans for enlisting
300.000 young men into that organ
ization from the ranks of the unem
ployed within two months.
EXEMPTIONS ARE ATTACKED
I'rcmont, iscd. uisirici juagei
Frederick L. Spear, in a ruling hand
ed down here, sharply criticized the
state law exempting religious and
charitable institutions from taxation.
The decision was in an action of the
Evangelical Lutheran Good Samari
tan organization which operates a
hospital and old people's home here.
Judge Spear upheld its plea for tax
exemption.
At the same time, he criticized the
philosophy behind the exemption
statute, contending that in effect it
compels taxpayers to contribute to
support of charitable and religious
institutions which they otherwise
would ignore.
NOT A C0JIMUXIST REGIME
Mexico, D. F. Four months of un
certainty as to whether the govern
ment of President Cardenas planned
to establish a communistic regime in
Mexico were ended when he said
"communism is not my doctrine nor
the inspiration of my policies." At a
time when strikes are sweeping the
country, the president declared him
self openly in favor of the strike as
a weapon of the worker in obtaining
social justice. But at the same time
he predicted a rapid end of current
difficulties and said under his gov
ernment private enterprise "can
count on full guarantees and secur
ities." WHEAT VOTE SET MAY 25
Washington. Wheat growers will
be given an opportunity by the AAA
to vote on May 25 on continuance of
the production adjustment program
for 1936. 1937, 1938 and 1939. Ad
justment contracts which growers
signed in 1933 expire at the close of
the present crop year.
The farm administration said it
proposed to continue the adjustment
program along similar lines, calling
for transfer of wheat lands to grass
and pasture and reduction of the
crop to domestic corumption plus
whatever export outlets are avail
able. HONEY IN TRUCK FEES
Fall3 City, Neb. The sheriff's of
fice has brought a total of $2,546.50
into the state's coffers as the result
of the war against foreign trucks
not adhering to Nebraska license
laws, says Sheriff Irvin Gates. Most
of the trucks have been from Mis
souri and Kansas and fees in many
instances have run as much as $200
and $250 per truck. Of the amount
collected, 70 percent goes to this
county. During the past sixty days,
sixty-six foreign trucks have been
held up until licenses were purchased.
