at work repairing tho flooring of
the Canadian River bridge; these
repairs to hold until the materia)

Inducements to Medical Graduates to
Come and Practice for Them—Rem-
edy for Shortage la Seen in Plan to
Have States Develop Some Organiza-
tion for the Medical Service for
8mall Towns.
Small towns and rural districts In all
parts of the country are worried over
a shortage which the city dweller can
scarcely comprehend. This Is the short-
age of, doctors.
In the cities and largfc**Industrial
towns about every square has a doc-
tor's sign. Whole office buildings are
given over to medical men. And if you
still doubted that$' doctors constitute a
fair quota of the population, a glance
at a classified city directory would show
you exactly how many columns of doc-
tors stand ready to tide you over any
attack of germs, writes Frederic J.
Haskin In the Chicago News..
But go out In the country, or even
to a remote town, and you might have
to send 25 miles or rnoi;e for a doctor
in case of an emergency. And there
would be no ambulance to take you
to a hospital on short notice.
Tills Is a difficulty so serious that
the neglected communities are trying
to do something about It. It Is widely
advertised that In Massachusetts doc-
torless towns are offering bonuses to
young medical graduates to come to
practice for them. Similar Inducements
are held out In other states. In some
cases a house has been offered to the
doctor, a weighty argument in a time
when houses are. If anything, more
scarce than country doctors. In al-
most every case noted the community
seems to be able to assure the physi-
cian that he tvlll have plenty to do and
that he should make $2,000 or more a
year.
Some of the doctorless towns have
conducted their drive for doctors with
success. Others are still hunting. It
generally takes more than a house
and a prospect of $2,000 a year to lure
a doctor to the country nowudnys.
Doctors Hard to Make.
The fact Is, ft costs so much money,
time and work to become a doctor now
that the graduate feels that he de-
serves a large reward. It Is not so
long since two years was the length
of the medical course and a high
school diploma was not always re-
quired of the medical student. From
that point, the medical colleges have
been steadily raising their standards'
until now a first class, university de-
mands either an A. B. degree before

80,000 Men.
Officially the forces of the soviet
are divided Into 22 armies, writes a
correspondent to the Dally Telegraph,
but of these only 17 exist in reality.
On paper every army has from three
to Ave divisions of Infantry and at
least one cavalry division. The total
number of Infantry divisions la 60
and there are 18 divisions of cavalry.
Bach division, cavalry or Infantry, Is
divided Into three brigades, and these
In their turn consist of three regi-
ments. An Infantry regiment Is com-
posed of three battalions of three
companies each. Three cavalry
squadrons form a regiment.
Every company should have 180
men In the fighting line and a squad-
ron 150. Therefore the total num-
bers of combatants in the infantry
and cavalry should be respectively
870,tKt0 and 70,000. The real figures
are nearer 600,000 and 50,000 men re-
spectively for tiie two arms.
Man 10,000 Machine Guns.
To every infantry regiment belong
from 20 to 24 machine guns, and from
10 to 12 in the cavalry. The Red
armies dispose, therefore, on paper,
of at least 10,000 machine guns.
These are of various systems?---Maxim.
Colt and Lewis. The artillery has a
nominal establishment of 4.800 guns,
light and heavy, but the real number
Is considerably less, and does not
probably exceed 3,000, including all
field artillery. Each division has spe-
cial signaling, aviation, motor trans-
port and army service units. The
number of non-combatants in a di-
vision Is extraordinarily high, and
nearly equals that of the men in the
fighting line.
According to the latest Information
the armed forces of the sovlets are
distributed In the following manner:
In the northern Caucasus, on the
Black sea coast. In Azerbaijan and
In Persia, 120,000 men; in Central
Asia and Siberia, 100.000, and at least
400,000 on the western front (of these
about 10 per cent are cavalry).

er regular college subjects which will
lay the best .foundation for medical
work.
The medical course which follows
this college preparation Is four years,
and after that the doctor very often
spends two years as An Interne In a
hospital.. The graduate Is therefore
25 years old, at least, before he can
begin his career. He represents an In-
vestment of $4,000, Columbia university
figures. About $1,200 of this he has
paid in tuition and the rest the college
has estimated.
Every branch of medicine constantly
shows more problems to be solved by
men who can give some time to re-
search. Then there la a demand for
even more expert service than the
of old generals, with Brussiloff as
chairman. But it has no Influence
whatsoever.
Reports on the quality of the Red
army vary to an extraordinary de-
gree and force one to> the conclusion
that Its component parts are very un-
equal In quality. Some units seem to
be tolerably good, a few are very
good fighting material; but a consid-
erable number seem to deserve only
the name of conscripted rabble. Arm-
ament and technical appurtenances
seem to exist more on paper than in
rea:Wty.

really a police force. Is ahotit 80,000
strong, and Is quite Independent of

so the young doctor often combines
practice with further study to become
• specialist. Neither of these lines of
work leads him far afield. He stays
dose to his university or goes to some
other city where opportunities for
study may be even more desirable.
Majority Cling to City. >.
Even If he decided to be a general
practitioner, the graduate, doctor still
clings to the city. In the city he has
tba benefit of consultation with other
doctors. There are medical societies,
hospitals, clinics and libraries where
he can keep In touch with progress.
Ib a rural district; unless tt Is near
a city, he must forego these advan-
tages. and there la added the further
tumble of transportation difficulties.
It costs around 10 cents a mile to run
an ordinary car ea a good road. 15
cents on a poor road. At this rate
a doctor who Is called to a home five
miles out has to spend a dollar to get
there And back. And five miles Ui ac-
counted a short distance In the coun-
try. ■
To make mth visits takes up a goad
deal of the doctor's time. Usually he
discounts this loss. But he does add
a charge for distance to hla fee when
he has to travel beyond certain Used
limits. This makes the fee higher
aragtd t* In a &i§. and any
cut down his income In the long run
because pal tents can afford to send

To rhe owner of a new car who Is
Just -testing hi* wings, so to speak, on
the highway it may seem ghoulish to>
talk of what to do in case an accident
happens to his car or through it. But
we all know that accidents involving
motorcars do happen, though in a ma-
jority of cases the car owner is not to
blame.
No mailer'how guiltless of wrong
the motorist may he unless he knows
what to- do at the time the accident
occurs, knows how to protect himself,
in other words, he may find himself in
an unpleasant predicament simply be-1
cause lie has fulled to take certain pre- j
cautions. 1 ^
Note All Circumstances.
To begin with, the car owner should
try to kee|| his- mind as calm as pos-
sible and note all the attendant cir-
cumstances afe (he time of the acci-
dent. He should get from any by-
standers their names and addresses
and also those of people In nearby
buildings, provided those persons wit-
nessed the accident. ,
If the motorist knows that the fault
has not lain with him he should point
out to the people whose names he has
gathered particular phases of the ac-
cident, measure any distances that may
be germane to the subject by pacing,
if no' other means is at hand. Be cer-
tain to get gum* corroboration of the
rate of speed at which the car wos
being driven. If the horn or other
warning signal was sounded be sure to
have witnesses ready to help prove this
fact.
In ease the- accident has occurred at
the Intersection e# two streets, it la
important to' prove that the vehicle
had been slowed down before coming
to the crossing.
Rightful Place ot Car.
Oue of the most Important points of-
fered for a Jury's consideration ia
whether or not the car was in its right-
ful place in the street. Was It on tho
right hand side af tho thoroughfare,
where It belonged? Testimony to thla
effect will help the defendant, if the
emergency brake was firmly set, un-
prejudiced Witnesses may he shown
this for later use in court.
When an accident happens R night
it I* important to prove that the lighta
were properly burning and In order.
When the mishap occurs In rainy
weather or when the streets aVe slip-
pery it should be shown If possible that
the nonskld chains were in place an
the tires.
In case the troublo came when the
car was making a turn, call attention
to the fact that it was making a wide
turn, la accordance with the statutes,
and was on the proper side of the
road.
If a person has been injured, try to
remember his conduct Just before the
accident. .Was he behaving in a way
to make Mm guilty of negligence, as,
for Instance, sheltering himself under
an umbrella, and not keeping a prop-
er lookout? Were you, the operator,
looking ahea^ and tiding to 'your
driving, or were you talking or other-
