I NEGRO DOCTOR AND THE WAR RELATIVELY FEW CALLED THI S FAR; IF DOCTORS ARE DRAFTED MAY RELOCATE MANY NORFOLK, Ya., Oct. 1 (ANP) If the shortage of doctors, due to the large number of physicians who are being called to war, g ows moru serious, it may be necessary to re locate physicians, moving those who are established in cities wh- re t!><*re are plenty of practitioners, fo aieas where there are not nearly enough doctors to so around, i Dr. Thomas J. Parran, U. S. Sur geon,General, said in Washington, Irst week that about 58,000 physic ians would be needed by the army Of these about 25,000 have already been called. Just what this will mean to Ne gro physicians is not certain. A relatively few Negro physicians have b en called to the colors or 1 even been permitted to volunteer | thus far. Surgeon-General Magee j of the army has rigidly held down ; the number of Negro doctors admit ' ted to the service. Most of these have been in low ranks, first- lieut enants, who have been sent with combat units. These men for the most part serve in what is more or Jess a first aid capacity and rarely get an opportunity to do real surg •al or hospital work. It is only in hospitals that higher ranks are at tained. Surgeon General Magee did yield enOugh to establish the station hos pital at Fort Huachuca and there) will probably be a dozen majors, a couple of lieutenant colonels and a larger number of captains emerge from that outfit.

AN ON THE JOB IS AUTHORIZED TO TAKE MONEY. re are Only Four Authorized Men in il 1140. They are Pete Bell, Walter dland and Kelly Gates at the Omaha *e, and Henry Schaefer at the Mead je. hospital at the flying school at Tuskegee. Huachuca is the only are i in which Negro medical men can advance to higher ranks. There are less than 50 medical men at Huach uca. Lt. Col. M. O. Bousfield is in command. If the war. grows serious enough, however, even if Negro doctors axe not taken into th army some cf them may be moved into the rural areas where frequently there is n< a doctor within a radius of 20 to 30 miles. Even in normal times i'. Alabama, for example, there is on! One physician to 1,360 people, white and colored. That is typical cf tii backward south. The charge is made that the younger Negro phys I icians are unwilling to adopt a mis sionary attitude and prefer to settle where comforts, luxuries and dense populations offer greater financial advantages. In cities like Chicago for example there are some 300 col ored physicians. If an order is issued for a draft of medical men, doctors will be com pelled to go wherever.sent. That would be a war time measure and regimentation in the last degree. It is probable such a move would he the definite introduction of real soc ialized 'medicine in this country and if ever adopted it probably would be a permanent fixture. The possibility exists that white patients may yet have to depend up on Negro medical practitioners toe service. This should not be regard ed as impossible .for in many north ern cities, particularly in areas lu which foreign born people live, Ne gro physicians have more white pa tients than colored. In Chicago for I example. Dr. T. K. Lawless, the noted skin specialist, probably the highest income colored physician in the country, has a patronage 95 pet | cent white. Thus far the matter 0f deciding which doctors shall be pemitted to go to war has been in the hands of the Procurement and Assignment serice for physicians, dentists and veterinarians, now an agency of the War Manpower commission. Negro es have a separate but recognized, procurement and assignment body, developed from among members of the National Medical association. In the past this post has been re garded as something of a plum. The first two incumbents, Drs. BOus£ield and Roscoe Giles, both of Chicago, having been given respectively, titles as lieutenant colonel and ma or. The result was that after the recent NMA convention jn Cleve land, three prominent doctors des cended on Washington to suggest to the war department that each or either of them be named chair man of the Negro assignment and procurement division. The depart ment declined to name either of the three and appointed Dr. John W. Lawlah ,dean Of Howard Medical school and superintendent of Freed men’s hospital in Washington. Dr. Lawlah is a product of Provident hospital in Chicago, the same insti tution which produced BOusfield and Giles and which furnished most Of the top men at Ft. Huachuca. Dr. John T. Givens, secretary of the NMA, discussing the matter of relocating and the opportunities be fore the Negro physician, has this | ON THEIR WAY UP LT. LEWIS ALLEN McGEE. JP„ IT. WTLMORE B. LEONARD to say: “There is certainly need for re locating Negro doctors so that some will go to the sections where they are most needed. Very f-w phys icians .however, will b? willing to leave the ci.ies to go to the coun try. In the first place, the country has very little to offer the ir-edTiI man who has spent so many years of his life in schools. And with the f improved roads and transportation it is easy for patients to go to the city to consult the physician. “The real need, however, is not so much relocation as it is the need for additional Negro doctors. Our two medical schools are graduating too lew rloct-rs to tal-e the place of those who die each year, to say nothing of those called to the army, public health and institute work. We need increased facilities that would be able to turn out at least 200 colored physicians a year, where as now only 85 or 70 are being grad uated in the whole United States. "Out of 400 or mor» who apply to each medical school, there are only about 40 to 60 who are admit ted each year to each of our two schools. The present facilities | would have to be tripled before the problem of scarcity of doctors cull be solved. “It is safe to predict that tile army will take at least a tenth of the Negro physicians which will be about 500. In fact, the army will i take most of the single men under 45 and will take all under 37 wheth er married or single. The colored physician is slow to realize that the ' small town Of frOm 5,000 to 40.000 people offers hint the best field that could be obtained for general prac j tice.” 3 NEGROES ON DRAKE SQUAD | Des Moines, la., Oct. -1 (ANP)— Three Negroes, two freshmen and a junior, are expected to see action Dn the Drake university football team in the Missouri Valley confer ence race.

Youth is Queen! Most of us who have grown accustomed to the sight of'a piquant bow of ribbon iu the liair of middle-aged friends, fail to ponder the trend of events which have made mother and daughter rivals on the fashion stage. High school girls go to women's shoe de partments for the stylish models. And mothers are found in junior or misses' dress shops searching for youthful casual clothes. Like all styles which are genuinely comfort able and flattering, we predict that the “little girl look” in fashion has come to stay. If you are twenty-five or over, you will want to know the processes by which you can, with no incon gruousness, look the part of a jolly junior. First of all, dress comfort ably. You can’t have steel stays in your corset and not have ij: restrict your ease of manner as well as those parts for which it was in tended. You can’t look as if your feet hurt, in shoes too small, and heels too high, yet wear the gay, casual demeanor that goes with a jiinafore. Wear low heels if they are more comfortable for you, and whittle your body down with diet and exercise to a shape that is In keeping with the youthful mode. Yet with the best will and ward robe iu the world, you'll never suc cessfully wear ribbons in your liair, if that hair is gray. Color it! A woman is a fool who doesn’t use every resource of science and art ti> improve on what nature has given her. Be cautious. Choose a reputable hair-coloring and then grow younger over night. If you are experiencing the first, early, de pressing signs of age, joa cun enjoy no swifter, more thorough transition in mood, looks, and personality than by recreating your own youthful coloring. Women who take cosmetics for granted, who employ all the artifices in the book, are sometimes known to hesitate to color their hair. The excuses are numerous, and mostly they are caused by a lack of in formation. If you go to a good cos metologist, or choose an established brand and follow the directions of the manufacturer, hair coloring is easy, safe, and inexpensive to apply. The ethical bugaboo is as naive and negligible as the one about lip stick, suffered by our grandmothers. Gray hair is not necessarily a sign of age. You’ve seen doddering old sters with hair that is coal black, and young women of thirty with hair 'that is white. It is simply a physiological phenomenon which you can accept if you are so in clined. But if you would rather assume the modern "little girl look’* with unquestionable authenticity, don’t betray yourself by being old above the neck. Get plenty of sleep if you would look young. l!e healthy. Kat prop erly, drink milk. Get outdoors and exercise. There is one other prescription that is sure-fire . . . that you, and you alone can provide. If you can manage it, fall in love and stay that way. For that “little girl look” this has all the formulae of fashion ex perts and cosmetologists beat a mile. What arc your beauty problemis?
