The Country Doctor
;
Columbia University,
Dear Columbia:
Congratulations oj| cooperating
with a Qooperstown hospital in a
project to teach medical students
some of the qualifications and tal-
ents of the country doctor. As 1 get
it the proposition is to try to inject
into the doctor of today something
of the mood and humility of the old
fashioned rural "sawbones,” and I
am all for it. What this country
needs is some more old fashioned
doctors who don’t want to make
money too fast and will get up in
the middle of the night.

Mother is on a beach—the young brown forms racing to and fro, with the
word "Mother” ringing like hells in the air.
Such findings, from such sources,
drive home the truth that our indus-
trial squabbles, strikes and other
flareups that animate class feuds
are the deliberate products of pro-
fessional mischief-makers. . . . That
our happiness and peace are being
besieged and barraged by fifth col-
umnists, largely Communists or
Communist-Influenced fools. . . .
They find their most fertile fields
among the minorities they can agi-
tate into discontent, many of whom
they make miserable and self-con-
scious, although they were not ob-
sessed with a sense of injustice un-
til they were harangued into It. . . .
Especially do these aliens and un-
patriotic Americans work on the
growing generation.
Youngsters are pliable, cal-
low, credulous. . . . They must
be restrained, because they
have not attained mature sta-
tus, with its rewards of recog-
nition and emolument.
I find the attitude of our teen-
agers alarming. ... I often lecture
at schools and universities, giving
my time freely because I hope I
can set some of the immature
minds a bit closer to the straight
road laid down by their forefathers.
. . . The questions they ask are too
often angled, too repeatedly indica-
tive of suspicion, even resentment,
of our established forms of life. . , .
They almost always start oil by
asking whether I belong to a union.
. . . When I say I do not they look at
me as if to say, "Then what do you
know about anything?"
I now counter that query by say-
ing, “Yes, I belong to a union—the
union of the 48 states.” . . . They
think that pretty corny. . . . That
sort of union does not impress
them. . . . One impertinent punk in
a journalism class shot back, "Oh-
then you’re scabbing on the job!”
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
A 32-YEAR-OLD Wife in
ZA Dallas wants to know
1 which should rule, in
marriage, husband or wife?
The question probably dates
back to the exodus of Adam
and Eve from the Garden of
Eden, and the answer has al-
ways been supremely unsat-
isfactory to women. They
have been told for centuries
that the man must rule; she
must obey, as well as love
and honor. “Wives, be sub-
ject to your husbands."
Laws affecting wives have
changed enormously in the last hun-
dred years. No longer may a man
will away his unborn child to whom-
soever he chooses. No longer may
he lawfully beat his wife, with a
“rod no thicker than his finger."
No longer does a woman’s oldest
son inherit the entire family for-
tune, including her home. No long-
er is the discovery of pre-marital
sexual frailty cause for annulment,
with the assignment of the children
to the father.
But the fundamental injustices are
rooted far deeper than in the laws
of men, and Denise Franklin, the
writer of the afore-mentioned letter,
is perhaps at the age and in the
position to feel them most. Denise
writes me that she has never been
very strong, that she and Parker
have four very young children, that
they cannot afford, or indeed find,
domestic help.
I “Parker is the very epitome of
health and strength,” writes Denise.
"He plays golf and tennis so well
that he is always a guest at one
j club or another, and maintains
[ memberships in two. He goes
hunting and fishing, sleeps like a
j baby, eats enormously, loves every
minute of his life.
Tired, Sick, Tearful.
"I was a professional dancer when
j we met,” the letter goes on. ”1
love life, too. My father, widowed,
lived only for me, we travelled a
lot, I was nine times a bridesmaid
before I married at 23. Now I don’t
dare look in the mirror at the tired
pale woman whose work is never
done. I love my three girls and fat
baby boy. I’d like more children.
But to be always exhausted, to be
sick and tearful so often, to be Im-
patient and angry with the babies,
to wash, cook, shop for them, to
bathe, feed, dress, discipline them,
is work for three women, let alone
one.
"Parker isn’t the helpful domes-
tic type, but I don’t mind that. But
to have him hold all the authority,
handle all the money, make all de-
cisions and smile at my objections
or resentment—is that fair? Parker
is close with money; what he spends
on clubs he gives me scrupulously,
it comes to about $25 a month, my
'allowance.' Never another cent, he
shakes his head at the mere idea.
He pays bills, goes to market. His
business is one in which personal-
| ity pays, and he has personality.
He works hard, doesn't drink, saves
I money. They say he will be a rich
man some day. In other words,
Parker has everything, and I
drudge away humbly In the back-
ground, agreeing with everyone that
I have a wonderful husband, and
hating myself for saying it.
"What has especially infuriated
me, and spurred me into writing
you,” the letter ends, "is the dis-
covery that Parker has had a hand-
some raise a year ago, and has in-
vested it all, without mentioning it
to me. This is treating me like a
child or a slave, and I won’t stand
for it. How can I get aut?"
He waited for me after class, fell
into step. . . . "Mr. Lait,” he said,
"Our professors din it into us, that
only by organizing, only by fight-
ing tlie capitalists, can we have
democracy. . . . That our history is
the bunk, glorifying slave-drivers
and exploiters of the worker. . . .
Even when they don’t come out
cold turkey and say so, they play
up the utopian Russian system. . . .
One told us labor unions were good
—now; in the end, they would not
be needed, but now they were the
only instrument of the oppressed to
keep in power the spirit of the revo-
lution. ... Do you think we’re going
to have a revolution?” I shook my
head. I didn't fear a revolution. But
I did feel a revulsion.
Dignity and Courage.
I'll tell you how you can get out,
j Denise. Just by living through it
with dignity and courage. These
He works hard, saves money . ,,
YOUR INNING
WILL COME
Married life generally places
the heavier burden on the
woman. A man has outside
interests, the stimulation of his
job, a chance to get away from
the home every day. The wife
and mother, however, is tied
down. For long years she must
care for the children night and
day. There are so many dreary
little tasks to be done, whether
she is sick or well, tired or
fresh, that it is no wonder
many women often wish they
could get away from their re-
sponsibilities, They are envious
of their husbands' freedom.
Miss Norris tells Denise
Franklin, a Dallas, Tex., wom-
an with four young children,
that her inning will come, if
she will just live through these
difficult years as gracefully and
bravely as possible. Her hus-
band, Parker, is a big hand-
some man, successful in busi-
ness and social life, a fine ath-
lete, a good if somewhat frugal
provider; he is faithful and, in
his way, affectionate.
What is driving Denise to
distraction, however, is his
breezy unconcern for her la-
bors and difficulties, and his
autocratic way of managing
everything. He gives her an
allowance, and that is all.
Money affairs are strictly his
province. He comes and goes
as he pleases, plays golf and
tennis, with little regard for
tired, overburdened Denise.
This is the way of the world,
Miss Norris counsels Denise.
Many men are careless, seem-
ingly indifferent about their
wives’ problems. The way out,
concludes Miss Norris, i; not
a divorce, but patience and
hope. Better days will come.
I grant you that the modern doc-
tor makes fewer mistakes and is
away out in front in techniques but
the country doctor, even when not
too sure whether it was measles or
nettle-rash, had a way of making
the patient feel better anyhow. And
whatever your ailment was you
could get out of it without a couple
of bank loans.
It was his manner, his gentleness,
his warm personal concern that
helped as much as some of his pills.
You didn't link him up with a ma-
jor financial exploit every time you
called him in.
I hope that Columbia and this
Cooperstown hospital will try to
resurrect something of the spirit of
this old boy. If you could couple his
humanity with the modern doctor’s
skill you would have a medical
wonder.
The old fashioned country doctor
would go anywhere, anytime, for
anybody. He knew your first name,
your wife’s first name and your
youngsters’ first names. He even
knew the dog and canary. Anything
any college can do to bring back his
fine human qualities will be so
much velvet.
Sincerely,
Elmer.
Automobile prices are being
upped again and we seem in for
a revival of the old days when

A Vegetarian President
The Questions
Dr. John Maxwell, 81, of Chicago,
will run for the presidency of the
United States, according to the
newspapers, on a vegetarian ticket.

have always had meat-eating presi-
dents . . . and look where we are!

needs is a man in the White House
who does it all through a vegetable
plate.
VANISHING AMERICANISMS
"Shave—15 cents."
"Do l get a month’s concession on
the rent.3"
years are Parker's, but there are
golden years to come that will be
yours. When that quartette of chil-
dren is in school, when Parker’s
rather despotic rule and thrift have
borne fruit, when you have a coun-
try home and a comfortable bank
account, then you will begin to reap
the harvest you deserve. Mother-
hood is the crown of any woman's
life; children fill up a home, make
life rich. And in the days of pic-
nics, birthdays, early hospitali-
ties Mother gets much more from
them than Dad does. While Dad
is going the same old round, selling
his personality to dull men from
Buffalo and Detroit and Dallas,
Mother is on a beach, her back
propped against a sand-sunk log,
the lunch-basket beside her and the
young brown forms racing to and
fro, with the word "Mother” ring-
ing like bells in the air. Mother is
the one to whom the feverish young
eyes turn in hours of illness, Moth-
er is the one to hear secrets, to
grant favors, to say proudly to cas-
ual acquaintances, “my sons and
daughters.”
Believe me, nothing in life com-
pares to that for sheer pride and
achievement. In 10 years, my tired
little mother, your days may be all
times of happiness and pride; in 10
years you may be glad of that
financial foresight that means an
assured middle age. Men do have
the advantage of women in some
ways—granted. But women have
their glorious innings, too, and it
has always been my personal con-
viction that a smart woman can
make her life a much more tri-
umphant thing than can an equal-
ly smart man.

up the prices with a Simon Legree
attitude toward the consumer, and
nowhere is it more pathetic than at
the amusement parks this summer.
Believe it or not, the kids are
charged 10 cents to throw three
baseballs, the rifle ranges sock ’em
six shots ftjr a quarter, the roller
coaster in some parks sets 'em
back 20 cents and the nickel merry-
go-round ride is pretty much a
thing of the past.

X-Rays for Arthritis
X-ray treatments give "satisfac-
tory relief from pain" to sufferers
from arthritis, bursitis and allied
diseases of the joints, according to
an article in Radiology magazine.
The authors of the article, Drs.
Ernest A. Pohle and James A. Mor-
ton of University of Wisconsin med-
ical school, Madison, Wis., said
X-ray treatments "definitely have
something to offer" to the nation’s
7,400,000 arthritis sufferers.
Their conclusions were drawn
from a study of 100 patients.
