LONDON.—Shortage of physician
m this country, which was greatly
increased by the war, is giving wom
en a golden opportunity to enter
the medical profession. Hundred-*
of demobilized war workers, espe
cially nurses, are taking advantage
of it.
Before the war, few facilities
were offered English women for
training as physicians, and further
more, they encountered a prejudice
on the part of all classes that was
strong enough to daunt even the
most determined. That prejudice
against "women doctors" was almost
entirely swept away by the heroic,
and efficient medical service per
formed by women during the war.
Hospital schools of medicine from
which women students formerly were
barred are now open to them. Many
hospitals and other health institu
tions include women on their boards
of management, and public positions
which used to be filled only by men
are now- open to women doctors as
well. Resident hospital posts have
been made available for qualified
women physicians, enabling them to
secure extremely valuable experi
ence.
Except Oxford and Cambridge,
all the Bt itish universities have
opened their medical degrees to
women.
BRITISH ARE BUYING
FOR BALTIC TRADE
LONDON'.—British interests are
purchasing American goods to sel!
in the new Baltic states as part of
their plan to "get in on the ground
floor” commercially when turmoil n
that part of the world ceases.
The American Chamber of Com
merce in London understands that
Estnonia has sold to Great Britain
its exportable surplus of timber for
the next eighteen months in return ■
for supplies which Great Britain can
not now produce and which are be
ing purchased in the United States ;
in order that the contract may be
carried out.
It is pointed out that 40 percent
of Russian exports normally pass •
through Lettish ports. The cham
ber strongly advises American busi
ness firms to try for some of this
business.

Menana. Where Kails and Rivers Meet
Telegraphic- communication with
the States was interrupted at an
early hour this morning by a break
in the wire somewhere south of Gul
kana. And the weather was such
this morning that the linemen re
fused to leave their station to hunt
for the break and make the neces
sary repairs.
A wireless report relayed to Xe
nana this afternoon from Cordova
stated that the line was open as far
as Wortmans and that a blizzard
was raging in the vicinity of where
the wire parted, so it seems doubt
ful if repairs can be made until the
storm abates.
Should any news reach Xenana
from the Outside before the break
is mended, it will come by wireless
relay, but none at all is expected
before a very late hour this after
noon or evening.
The telegraphic news appearing
in The Xews today was received last
night, before the break occurred.

REMINDED OE TAX
Officials of the Xenana school
board have requested The News to
remind taxpayers that a penalty of
10 percent will be assessed against
those who have not paid their school
taxes by Thursday night, January
15, the date on which the taxes will
become delinquent.
Assessor Carl Schmiut reports
that a considerable amount has al- ■
ready been paid into the school
treasury bv taxpayers, and he ex
pects to be kept especially busy dur
ing the next two days giving receipts ;
to those who have not found it con
venient to make early payment, but
who will not permit their taxes to ;
become delinquent.
The payments thus far made com- ’
pare favorably with those of last
year, and no difficulty is anticipated
:n collecting the remainder due, es
pecially in view of the fact that the
tax is considerably less this year.

Arrivals from Fairbanks bring th
; report that the authorities of th
|upper town have been particularl;
iactive of late in an apparent effor
to put a stop to the liquor traffi
and gambling.
A force from the marshal’s of
fice, untier the leadership of Deput;
Marshal Pete McMullen, is said t'
have conducted a raid at :he Nor
gale hotel on Saturday night, in •
search for booze. The building wa
iiansacked from cellar to attic, bu
not a drop of the forbidden liquoi
!could be found. At any rate, nt
I complaint has been lodged again;'
.the proprietor, and it is assume?
that the search was fruitless, oi
corn less, or rubber-bootless, or what
lever they use in Fairbanks.
‘ Later the same evening, so the
: report goes, the reformers swooped
i down upon the Pioneer hotel, where
(gambling was reported to have been
(carried on. But there was nothing
doing when the raiders arrived,
1 neither the rattle of chips nor the
(Quiet gurgle of home brew,
j The raids are said to have been
•skillfully planned and carefully ex
ecuted, and the logical conclusion
jof Fairbanksans is that the hotels
jwere unjustly suspected by the of
ifieers of the law.
Forty chickens belonging: to Janus
t eastcr of Fairbanks were burned
to death at an early hour this morn
ing, when the frame shack in which
they were housed was destroyed by
lire. 11.. ;ire department responded
promptly, but did not arrive at the
scene in time to save either the
building or its contents.
Two pigs were lost, in addition to
the chickens.
The tire is suuposed to have been
caused by the stove which was used
to heat the building.

! I from the Aitken galena property
'! in the Kafttishna district is moving
L ; now in a steady stream from the
: j mine to the Kantishna river a;
Roosevelt, where it is being cached
' ion the river bank for shipment to
a smelter in the States after the
' opening1 of navigation next spring.
In fact, the stream of ore coming
1 from the ledge has reached such
’ | proportions that Ed Bartlett, who
I has the contract to deliver the ore
:at Roosevelt, is finding difficulty
keeping up with the mine output,
j which is considerably greater than
he anticipated, and it is considered
.probable that he will be compelled
to put on additional teams.
Frank Glass, well-known Nenana
ite, who is now working with the
j Bartlett outfit, arrived in town from
jthe Kantishna last week, having
made the trip out to the Govern
:ment railroad with one horse and a
double-ender, to secure a few neces
sary supplies. He reports that Bart
lett is now hauling about seven tons
of ore a day, and that the ore
j sacked at the mine ranges from
! seven to eleven tons. That means
•that the ore is accumulating rapidly
at the mine, necessitating action of
jsome sort at an early date to insure
delivery of all the ore at the river
i before the trail goes to pieces.
The Bartlett teams have been han
j dicapped. Glass says, by cold weath
' er, which has prevented loading as
heavily as might otherwise have
jbeen done
I i ne sacks arc supposed to av
erage about 100 pounds in weight,
i but Glass says that occasionally one
is found which will weigh nearly
i 200 pounds, indicating a much larg
er percentage of galena. The ore ts
getting better all the time as the
'work progresses, and Glass is en
thusiastic over the outlook for the
Kantishna country, as a result of
the rapid and very successful devel
opment of the Aitken property.
Glass plans to start back tomor
row. That is, he will take the train
tomorrow for the Thirtvmile road
1 house, where he left his horse, but
he will not attempt to make the
trip across country until the weather
moderates. It is necessary to “si
