DOCTOR FITTED FOR LEADER,
Much in Knowledge of Medicine to:
Equip Man for High Pub
lic Service.
There Is much In the knowledge of j
medicine to fit a man for the high call
ing of lawgiver and leader of the
people, says Dr. Frederick Peterson, in ■
the Century. He continues:
“To reach the goal of national |
health, the physician's accumulated i
knowledge and experience must be j
brought to bear upon the laws which
relate to fit marriages, to housing and
the food supply, to education, occupa
tions, recreations, hygiene and sanita
tion, to contagious diseases, alcohol
ism, poverty and crime; in short, upon
every law which relates directly or in
directly to the health and well-being
of the people. His interest reaches
into the depths of sociology, biology
and philosophy, to the relations be
tween persons and groups, between na
tions and races. The interests of medi
cine are fixed only by the boundaries
of life itself. When the great state,
with its great free municipalities is at
length established, when war and pov
erty and disease and unemployment,
as we know them, have been banished
to the vast rubbish heap of man’s out
grown ignorance and folly, It may be
that the physicians of that nobler time
will be expected to frame wise laws
not only to insure individual health
but to prevent the disease to which
the organism of the state, the body
politic, has in all earlier social stages
been subject.”
WOMEN DRIVE MOTOR TRUCKS
Not So Dressy as Some Jobs, but It’s
Healthful, According to One
of Them.
To release skilled mechanics for
other work and thus give some help in
the war, there are seven girls at one
motor factory Avhose daily tasks con
&1M iu uuvuig ucnij juuioutu vuio
the factory to the shipping dock.
And the girls won’t trade jobs now
for any of the purely feminine pur
suits, says the Washington Times.
They get greasy and dirty—they have
had to throw away chamois and pow
der puffs because they are futile—but
still they like the job and they all say
they would not trade it for a place at
the kitchen sink or on the firing end
of a sewing machine.
“It’s a much better job than being
a department-store detective,” Mrs.
Lotta Dupuis, who formerly tripped
shoplifters and sneak thieves in a
downtown store, says. “Of course it
isn’t so dressy, but it’s healthier and
I like it better. Also I can make more
money for the support of my three
kiddies.”
Mrs. Wanda Ludeman backs up Mrs.
Dupuis. She formerly was a govern
ment operative in rounding up viola
tors of the Harrison narcotic law.
“I took the job because I wanted to
help the government, and every wom
an who does one man’s work releases
a man for the firing line,” said Mrs.
Ludeman.
The Modern Way.
The conversation in the lobby of a
Washington hotel turned to the sub
ject of modern methods when a little
story along that line was contributed
by Congressman Claude Kitchin of
North Carolina.
Some time ago a young man became
enamored of a beautiful girl, and
after a courtship of sqme months he
mustered sufficient courage to tell her
of his great love.
“Tonight,” said he as they sat one
evening in the alluring gloom of the
veranda, “I am going to your father
and ask for your hand in marriage.”
“That is very fine, Harry," the pret
ty one replied, “but don’t be so old
fashioned.”
“Old fashioned,” returned the lover,
thoughtfully. “I don’t quite under
stand.”
“Don’t ask him,” was the prompt
explanation of the girl. “Tell him.”—

Welsh Intermarrying.
A remarkable instance of Welsh
family Intermarrying is given in a
quaint chronicle of local events kept
by one Peter Roberts, notary public,
of St. Asaph, who died in 164G. He
wrote: “Upon Saturday evening, the
xxviith day of Novr., 1624, Thomas
Mostyn, Esq., and Gwen Parrie, wid
nu? tho lota ifa rtf t lui lotu fflthpr
in God, Richard Parrie, late Lord
Bishop of St. Asaph, deceased, were
married; and als;o William Mostyn,
gent, son and heir apparent of the
said Thomas Mostyn, and one Anne
Parrie, one of the younger daughters
of the said late Lord Bishop, were
likewise married the day and year
aforesaid; and Richard Parrie, son
and heir of the said late Lord Bishop,
and Marie Mostyn, third daughter of
the said Thomas Mostyn, were then
married.”
Lusty Old Age.
What time of life can Be compared
to the time of lusty old age? Does
white hair betoken falling powers?
Nay, no more than the snow that
crowns the giant old pine betokens
any weakness or decay of the tree.
The head and the hairs of our coming
Redeemer shall be “white like wool,
as white as snow.” Herein is the
mystery of the strength of old age.
As is a lusty tree, so is a lusty old
man. He knoweth the secrets ot
heaven and earth, and he beareth \
fruit to the last. He dieth not easily,!
but like a great oak, whose roots go;
deep into the earth; he is laid low i
only by a mighty cataclysm of nature,1
