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. Except for the

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.”

The Larlewse Beauty Bureau was established by the
Godefroy Manufacturing Company to study methods
of preserving women's natural beauty, and to make
the results of this research available to the public.
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.
