He remembers men carrying guns as a matter of course and the sight of bleached buffalo bones lining the railroad tracks. In fact, he remembers the West as it was before mechanization and law caught up with it The first paid job he had was as printer's devil on a small newspaper.

We bumped along with only two main top struts and two at bottom holuing the nose and tall together. "We reached our home field with enough gas for four hours' flying and wanted to land but we were ordered to land at a North England field where the runways were longer.

As Great Western Postwar Power Bertrand Russell, 71-year-old English mathematician and philosopher, believes the United States rather than Britain will come out of the war as the great Western power of the future and that the prospects for lasting peace after the war are "not very good." He made that lugubrious forecast because, he said in an interview, "the two greatest world powers America and Russia have not arrived at any long-run In order to arrive at world neace. Russia must have a long-run under standing with England as well as the United States, and he added: "Russia will be a good deal to blame for the faulty peace because she doesn't want a world government and nothing less will secure world peace."

Richard H. Lightflne of 23 Delmar Garden City, Long Island, said he felt like crying when he saw the body curled beneath the tree. All the way home across the Channel, Lightflne had struggled desperately to control the crippled Marauder bomber, its wing flaps gone and its landing gear shattered by flak over Cherbourg. Then as he was coming down on the emergency coastal landing strip he saw some 100 Britisn soldiers scattering Serious Dentist, Doctor Shortage Seen in Few Years A serious shortage of doctors and dentists In the next few years is predicted by Dr.

Willard C. Rap-pleye, dean of Columbia University's Medical School. The shortage, he says, will result from a War Department ruling which will reduce by 50 percent the number of students assigned to medical colleges by the army. Instead of admitting 5,800 medical and dental students, as was originally planned, only 2.800 will be assigned to medical schools in the term beginning in January, he said. Dr.

Rappleye expressed fears that "we shall not have enough students to fill our clases after this year." To relieve partially the prospects of empty medical schools he recommended a return to the 12-month schoolyear. Under present accel. erated courses medical doctors are graduated in three years instead of the usual four, and new classes are admitted every nine months. According to Dr. Rappleye, this has resulted in lowering of medical standards which he prefers to see raised since the army is apparently satisfied with the number of doctors lt will get under the new quotas.
