the immediate facts; we are in no position to
judge the merits of the controversy between the
tire rationing board and the physician. What we
have in mind is the poignance of the whole mat-
ter. The larger aspects of the situation of coun-
try doctors are important.
A doctor whose practice is mainly outside
towns is most certainly exposed to hardships. The
roads, in most sections, are likely to be bad; most
of the patientsrare likely to live away from paved
roads. In a great many cases there are a lot more
people living in these country districts than the
swift-moving motorist on paved roads realizes.
It has never been necessary, up to’ this time,
to compel doctors to answer calls in the coun-
try. but, with a new stringency in effect, it is evi-
dent that some provision will have to be made to
insure the necessary services in time of emer-
gency.
That is important in town and country, par-
ticularly in the latter, because the risks and ex-
posures are_greater there. In this particular case,
we are not trying to say anybody is right or
wrong, but we know there are in all such cases in
escapable human and physical factors which can-
not with justice or safety be ignored. — Tulsa

the press?
There has been introduced in the
United States congress, at the in-
stance of Attorney General FRAN-
• CIS BIDDLE, a bill which would
suppress all news issuing from
government sources, except that
which the heads of departments
may wish to have made public.
This bill would make it possible
for all kinds of foolish things to
be done by federal agencies and
departments, without a word about
them reaching the people who are
footing the bills for these agen-
cies and their'activities.
The measure would permit the
covering up of all errors and mis-
representation by federal officials,
because those facts would never
get to the public, if a department
head blue penciled them.
As we see it, the freedom of the
press does not mean near as much
to the newspapers, as it does to
the people of the country. There
will always be news to print, but
if it is adulterated news, it is the
people who suffer.
And it seems to us it is high
time for every citizen who believes
in representative government, in
freedom of speech and the press,
and the other privileges we enjoy,
to protest to their congressman and
senators against this measure.

After that, Sharon heard the
deep growl of men’s voices
lowered, heard the metallic click
as guns were loaded. “A young

Sharon remembered now as many
facts came out into the clear to
be fitted into a logical picture. Of
course. This was the warehouse

are converted to war work. Industry is
on the job today, quickly expanding its
output of weapons for the fighting forces
of free people all over the world. And
partly as a result of that expansion half
the women of the country will be wage
earners within five years—at least, that’s
one prediction that has recently been
made.
Not only are more women on the job to-
day, but in many cases they are doing
.better work than the men. Because their
hands are smaller, they are often more ex-
pert at delicate industrial operations than
men are. Many companies maintain
schools to train them in these jobs and
help them get off to a flying start.
Even though this war is being fought
thousands of miles away in places with
foreign, unfamiliar names, here at home,
we’re all in it. Stories like these make that
fact clear and certain. We all have work
that we can do to win our victory. And,
whatever our job, is it’s up to us to do it
better than ever before.

TREASURE ISLANDS

Today we can make that dream come

All the growing distrust that
had been fraying loose from the
edges at her thinking for the part
several days began to tangle now
in a knot of determination.
Fumbling her way through the
dusty darkness, she tried to locate
Dennis. Ears straining for the
sound of his voice, she stumbled
along, feeling a treacherous path
through the piles of sacks, coming
up smartly against the sharp cor-
ner of a packing case every now
and then.
Suspicion
She had pushed her way nearly
to the end of the warehouse before
she discovered him. Posted like
a sentry not ten yard* from the
foot at the gang-plank. Dennis
stood—holding a machine gun! No
one moved up the gangplank now.
No one moved on the darkened
boat behind. She wasn’t even
sure it was Dennis standing there
so tense, so stil. Until he chal-
lenged her in a harsh whisper.
“Who is it?"
“Me, Dennis,” she answered,
