The first college in the world for
the exclusive training of women phy-
sicians was the Women’s Medical
College of Pennsylvania, and it re-
mains the only one in this hemis-
phere. It has sent forth more than
1,600 graduates to fight disease and
restore health to suffering humanity
in every corner of the globe, writes
Mary Doroba in a railway magazine.
It was founded by four courageous
men who not only dared violent pub-
lic criticism but actual financial ruin.
The Philadelphia school, first such
institution to be legally constituted
for this purpose, bore much of the
brunt of controversy over the move-
ment to admit women to the study of
medicine. It is the only American
medical college for women that has
survived.
Hanna Longshore was one of the
first eight daring women who
triculated, worked and was gradu-
ated. “Hanna Longshore, M. D.” was
the sign she hung up three-quarters
of a century ago in Philadelphia
while curious mobs gathered in the
streets to jeer and deride. They
shouted contemptuously and plagued
her with insults. The public avoided
her. Druggists refused to fill her
prescriptions. But quietly and effi-
ciently she went her way of healing
and restoring sick and worn out hu-
man beings until she won their love
and respect and established a lucra-
tive practice.
There now are 7,219 women li-
censed to practice medicine and sur-
gery in the United States, 533 in
England and 1,600 in France. There
are nearly 1,000 women medical stu-
dents in this country.—Chicago Trib-
une.
Is Typical Speech
This would fit into the speeches of
the majority of men who run for the
Legislature, but when you examinb it
they haven’t said anything, and when
such a member gets here, he votes
for increased appropriations, for any
new taxes, for any new board, and
there isn’t anything he can do about
soaking Wall Street. This does not
apply to every candidate, but it does
to a majority, and these members
know it.
Candidates for the Legislature oft-
en are unduly frightened and under-
estimate what counts with the pub-
lic. Because the old age pension
amendment to the Constitution car-
ried, 4 to 1 in the general election, it
was taken for granted that all must
make a lot of promises. But, as in
the case of Roberts of Pettus it does
not always work that way. As a
House member he voted against sub-
mission of this amendment, and
voted against the bill when on the
floor. He also opposed tax increases.
But when he ran for the Senate, he
did not even have an opponent in his
district, and he was frank in telling
his citizens of his record In the Leg-
islature. He is modest, hard-working
and clean cut, and his district de-
cided to promote him to the Senate.
A number of other members are in
the same class and experience.
But when one calls names, unfor-
tunately some are omitted who also
are in this group, and the incident is
mentioned merely to show that a
candidate does not have to be radical,
extreme, a rubber stamp or “prom-
ising” in order to win public appro-
val.
Banking by mail is a service, developed for our
depositors tfo be used when it is inconvenient for
them to come to the bank in person. However, we
like the personal contact with our customers and
prefer to see them whenever possible, rather than
transact their business through the mails.
OKLAHOMA CITY. — So you’ve
found the one and only?
That’s great—but how long will it
last?
Dr. W. A. McKeever of Oklahoma
City’s “Lover’s Church” hopes he can
help a good many of his proteges to
stay happily married.
“It’s time we dealt with the prob-
lems of married life,” announced Dr.
McKeever.
“Married love is quite as big
problem as unmarried love.
“A large percentage of married
couples are in a row most of the
time, and in not a few cases they
don’t get along together because
they don’t recognize the little causes
and problems with which to deal.”
He said this three-point teaching
program would be instituted:
1. Detailed methods of conciliating
quarrels.
2. How to tolerate each other’s ir-
regularities.
3. Definite ways of side-stepping
divorces.
“A good many couples go into
marriage under ideal courtship re-
lations,” he said. “Then they find
out to their sorrow they have been
tied up for life with someone who
has an extreme eccentricity or a dis-
turbing incompatibility.
“Sometimes such a situation might
not appear prominently at first. But
they seem to grow worse. Then, the
worst part of all comes—each one
begins to remind the other of faults.”
Teaching couples to avoid such a
fault-finding attitude, he said, was
difficult to do.
“But if they’ll give it up, they’ll go
a long way toward smoothing
troubled waters,” he added.
He said children probably hold
some discordant couples together,
but declared “they are no sure cure.”
Dr. McKeever said he would con-
tinue to devote part of the church’s
time to problems of unmarried per-
sons when its fall sessions begin
Sept. 5. The psychologist said the
“Lover’s Church,” now in recess, has
brought many couples together, but
none has married.
Voters To Blame
But there is little blame for them.
The voters of the districts, who cer-
tainly knew all about them, sent
them to represent them. It is not un-
usual in campaigns for legislative
seats, for a candidate to appeal to the
voters sympathies by telling them
frankly he needs the job. Thousands
of citizens have been prompt to re-
spond to this appeal, showing good
heartedness but no regard for quali-
fications in their balloting. The vot-
ers likely do not realize that this
man who needs the $10, if he wins,
will be dealing in many millions of
dollars taken from taxpayers.
In this same group, the majority
not only welcome regular sessions
lasting four months, but want to see
as many special sessions as possible
and the members so express them-
selves.
There are some substantial, sound,
patriotic, self-sacrificing members in
the Legislature. Only a very small
per cent of substantial Texas citizen-
ship however will ever consider run-
ning for the Legislature, even though
it is the most responsible of all pub-
lic offices. They don’t like to trouble
themselves with the mire of cam-
paigns, and they feel that their busi-
nesses would suffer if they spent six
months out of every year in the Leg-
islature.
Burden on Some
Some of the present members find
it burdensome to serve and sustain
financial losses. Some declare they
won’t come back any more, but they
usually do. The thing gets into the
blood. But these men are the stal-
warts of the Legislature.
The member elected who has had
little experience in life or business
or government not only is confronted
with the intricate tax and appropria-
tion problem, but he is face to face
with all the problems affecting oil,
banking, insurance, soil and water
conservation, agriculture, labor, edu-
cation, transportation and business
in general for 6,000,000 people. He
tells his citizens he believes in the
welfare of all of them, but, guarded
by general terms, it means nothing.
The average candidate of this type
will tell his people: “I favor economy
in government. I am opposed to the
creation of any more boards, com-
missions and bureaus. I am in favor
of education and the schools, and am
strong for labor and the farmer. Use-
less State boards should be elimi-
nated and taxes should be lower. I
will soak Wall Street and the oc-
topus. I am for Texas always, the
greatest State in the Union, which
has as its President, Franklin D.
Roosevelt, the greatest President in
American history. I need your vote.
I am a young man (or old) and need
this job and will serve you to the
best of my ability.”
WASHINGTON. — Tip to house-
wives:
If hubby wants to know what’s
happening to the food allowance
write to the National Industrial Con-
ference board for the dope on changes
in the cost of living for wage earn-
ers.
For one thing, the board will tell
you that food costs in July of this
year were 43.5 per cent higher than
they were in that dark spring of ’33.
By BYRON C. UTECHT
In Fort Worth Star-Telegram
AUSTIN.;—While the Texas Legis-
lature deals in millions of dollars in
appropriations and taxes, there are
many members who are barely earn-
ing a livelihood and who are glad to
receive the $10 a day pay during a
session.
Naturally, a member in this classi-
fication has had little or no experi-
ence in lawmaking or business trans-
actions, or in economic structures or
in basic governmental problems. Yet,
he is a factor in deciding how to
raise and how to spend about $150,-
000,000 a year.
The personnel of the House shows
close to 40 in this group. . Very few
of them pay taxes, but oddly enough,
most of them are loudest in their
cries for tax increases and increased
spending. Most of them are very
young, but there are some oldsters
in the group, glad to get the $10 a
day.

Scalloped Apples — Three apples
(chopped), one-half cup sugar, one-
quarter teaspoon cinnamon, two ta-
blespoons lemon juice, grated lemon
rind, two cups buttered crumbs, one-
quarter cup water, one-quarter tea-
spoon nutmeg. Melt the butter and
add the crumbs. Mix the sugar, spice
and lemon rind. Put one-quarter of
the crumbs in the bottom of a but-
tered baking dish; then one-half of
the apples; sprinkle with one-half of
the sugar and spice. Repeat, sprinkle
the lemon juice over this and put the
remaining crumbs on top. Bake 35
to 45 minutes. Cover during the first

Haiti’s coffee harvest this year
yielded about 25,000,000 kilograms,
about 6,000,000 kilograms below the
average for the last ten years.
Leftover mashed sweet or Irish
potatoes may be fashioned into small
cases, rubbed with melted butter and
browned for five minutes in the oven.
Such cases are good to use for held-
ing creamed leftover vegetables,
meats, fish or fowl. When they are
colorfully garnished they are fit for
a party.
Society reporters have little room
for exercise of the imagination in
their stories. For instance, a shower
given for a young bride varies only
in the name of the party for whom
it is held and the gifts. A marriage
ceremony is of two kinds, deter-
mined on whether the newlyweds
take a trip or do not. A bridge party
varies from another only in the mat-
ter of the name of the prize winner
and the day on which it is held. In
writing up the refreshments, most
reporters limit themselves to a selec-
tion between nice, dainty, lovely, ap-
petizing, delectable, delicious and
delightful. After a society reporter
learns the adjectives the rest is rou-
tine.—Lewisville Enterprise.

NEW YORK. — Every pinochle
player remembers, surely, what hap-
pened to Frank Frankenthal when he
picked up a hand that
eight aces. He fell dead.
But what on earth ever became of
the man who bit the dog—to make
its ears prettier, he told the judge—?
Or to Holgar Hansen, the one-armed
paperhanger?
Has Mrs. Elsie Unterfachtberger of
Mays Landing, N. J., won any more
rolling pin throwing contests lately?
Are the codfish up Cape Breton way
swigging around with any more dia-
mond bracelets in their bellies, like
they used to?
One doesn’t hear so much about
these things lately. Where today, for
instance, is a man like Dr. F. R.
Kuehrich who came over from Eng-
land in 1927 to sell razor blades?
Nothing unusual about selling razor
blades, true; but it seemed unusual,
considering that Dr. Kuehrich had a
beautiful long beard and had never
shaved in his life.
That was the same year that Sam-
uel Schaer, delicatessen clerk in the
Bronx, routed the robbers a la Mack
Sennett, with custard pies slap-bang
in their faces.
John Sheridan was working in the
kitchens of the old Waldorf-Astoria
then, and was lamenting the lot of an
oyster opener.
“I’ve opened about 25,000,000 oys-
ters in 37 years,” said Sheridan sad-
ly, “and never found a single good
pearl.”
Yet about the same time Sheridan
was taking inventory of his non-as-
sets, a fisherman up at Cape Breton
was hauling a codfish that had a $6,-
000 bracelet in its innards.
Eight years ago men were spend-
ing $1,050,000,000 a year being pret-
tied in barbershops, and they were ’
yelping about how the ladies were
spending too much money in beauty
parlors—a mere $1,825,000,000. That
was when tree-sitting was a vogue.
It was about that time, too, that the
good burgers of Hartsdale, N. Y.,
voted to engage six men to operate
their fire truck, but voted down a
proposition to buy the truck. Won-
der what ever happened about that?
Things like that just don’t seem
possible. Neither, for that matter,
would you believe that a man could
stand on Broadway and offer to sell
$20 bills for a nickel without finding
a buyer.
That was 10 years ago. A New
York Newspaper thought it would be
interesting to try to sell a few twen-
ties at a discount. At first, the bills
were offered at $5 each, and every-
body guffawed. Gradually they low-
ered the asking price until they were
pleading with passersby to buy the
bills for five cents. But New York-
ers are too smart. There must be a
catch in it. Not a single $20 bill was
sold.
Animals are generally surefire
I news topics. There was the man who
contained I sold homing pigeons. The trouble
was that aftei’ he sold them they had
a habit of flying back. Of course it
couldn’t be helped. If a pigeon gets
nostalgia, that’s his business.
And Frank Favora caught a mack-
erel with a rubber band around its
middle; trying to reduce? Who can
tell?
Almost incredible was the case of
the boomerang that was sent from
Australia through the mails to Tor-
onto. Things got mixed up and the
boomerang would up back in Aus-
tralia. No boomerang ever boomer-
anged so far.
But most of all, what ever hap-
pened to the couple who won the
world’s kissing championship at Co-
ney Island four years ago? That kiss
lasted three hours and two minutes.
Nothing like it ever has happened
before.
Nothing like it has happened, for-
tunately, since.
There have been fewer foreclos-
ures on mortgaged farms in the five
counties of this area this year than
at any time since 1933, according to
officials of several companies mak-
ing farm loans.
The counties mentioned are Tar-
rant, Denton, Wise, Parker and John-
son.
The officials said collections this
year have been better than in the last
five years.
The same improved financial con-
dition of farmers is reflected in rec-
ords of the Fort Worth National
Farm Loan Association, according to
Len E. Sweatman, secretary-treas-
urer. This organization makes loans
through the Federal Land Bank at
Houston.
95 Per Cent Collected
“Our association,” he said Satur-
day, “collected 95 per cent of all
loans which matured for the 12-
month period ending June 1. We
have 850 loans in these five counties
amounting to approximately $2,500,-
000. More loans have been paid in
full this year than at any time in the
last five years and we have less mon-
ey out on extension of loans than at
any time during the same period.
“Three years ago when I would
make a tour of these counties I no-
ticed houses and farm buildings were
badly in need of repair. It is a dif-
ferent picture today, for everywhere
one sees that repairs have been made
and houses painted.
“We also have made more loans
this year to farmers who are buying
their places than at any time since
1932. All this evidently means the
farmers are in better condition than
they have been in some time. The
wheat crop and livestock prices have
aided farmers.”
Lending on Increase
Insurance companies are lending
more money on farms than they have
for some time. Officials said this is
because money is plentiful and the
improved condition of farmers war-
rants loans being made.—Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.

For some time the life insurance industry has been

Curiously enough, many regard life insurance purely
as death insurance, protection for the dependents

This, of course, is an outstanding function of life in-
surance, but it does a great deal more. It is being
increasingly used as a means of guaranteeing the
education of one’s children, to assure an adequate
income in old age, to protect against business re-
verses, to build an estate or rebuild a depleted one.
