The Surgeon General of the Army has notified the College that he wishes to consider all its graduates for immediate ap. pointment, and that he probably will need five thousand more Aides. This is five times the estimate of las summer. Aides in Physio-therapy are em ployed by the War Department to assist returned soldiers to recover the use of their functions.

Ore More Conservation On September 3rd the Priorities Commis- sioner of the War Industries Board, issued Circular No. 21. Among other things this document, saving certain exceptions, absolutely prohibited, all NEW construction, except such as might be allowed under definite regulations touching the Issuance of permits. With the purpose of learning whether a modi fication of the order would be consistant with the Gc'crnnif nt's needs a committee representing state and regional organizations of retail lumber dealers, comprehending a membership of approximately ninety-five hundred, came to Washington to confer with the Priorities Commissioner, Judge Edwin B. Parker. The situation was canvassed In a broad spirit. The retailers' committee urged that as the order stood it might result In unnecessary curtailment of farm improvements and thereby in a measure indirectly handicap the all important subject of food conservation. While recognizing the force of this suggestion, the Government officials, however, reasoned that the supreme need of the hour was LABOR FOR ESSENTIAL AND DIRECT WAR WORK. To permit building operations, even on the farm, to go forward unchecked would Inevitably weaken the nation's war labor need and this at a time when the Government was seeking to put in play every ounce of our power, both in men and resource, to crush the enemy of all humanity. Finally, after the earnest representations of the committee it was agreed that Rule 2 of Circular No. 21 be changed to read: "REPAIRS OF OR EXTENSIONS TO EXIST ING BUILDINGS INVOLVING IN THE AGGRE GATE A COST NOT EXCEEDING TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS (12500.00), AND NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR FARM PURPOSES ONLY INVOLVING IN THE AGGREGATE A COST NOT EXCEEDING ONE THOUSAND ($1000.00) DOL LARS.T The committee gave its pledge to the Priority Commissioner that the industry would in every way in its power see to it that the thought was brought home to the purchaser that skilled labor should bo employed ' only in ease of absolute necessity. IN OTHER WORDS, WHEREVER POSSIBLE THE BUILDING WORK SHOULD BE DONE BY THE FARMER AND HIS OWN HELP, AND NO NEW WORK UNDERTAKEN EXCEPT WHERE ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. It Is therefore up to the industry to keep faith with Washington. The roost important thing in life right now is to utterly crush the Hun. No personal interest, no selfish purpose should inter fere with this great need. THE YARDS OF THE TUM-A-LUM LUMBKIt CO. INTEND TO DEMONSTRATE TO OUR GOV ERNMENT THAT THEY A KB WORTHY OF TIIH TRUST IMPOSED IN THEM. OREGON FUEL NEWS Portland, Oregon. The method I adopted by the oil t companies of f rcing garages to remain closed from 6 a. m. to 6 p. m. and on Sun-1 (Hys by refusing to soil g.i.scliue or dis IP.ate to the dealer until he first agrees not to sell during the pre scribed hours, and claiming author ity from the U. S. Fuel Administra tion for so doing, has been referred by Fred J. Holmes, Federal Adminis trator for Oregon, to M. L. Requa, Director of the National Oil Division of the fuel administration at Wash, ington. The state administration will abide by the national decision. "No order or recommendation for making no sale of oil and gasoline on Sundays and holidays or after 6 p. m. on other days has been issued by any governmental authority or with any governmental approval," reads a ruling Issued from Wash ington under date of August 1. "The fuel administration has urged that wasteful practices in the use of oil and gasoline shall be stopped and all reasonable and proper measures of conservation shall be observed. No limitations, however, have been placed upon the sale of these products." W. O. Beall, assistant counsel of the oil division of the fuel adminis tration at Washington, states in a letter to Mr. Holmes dated October 23, that "in regard to the question of limitations upon the sale of gasoline, the attitude of the fuel administration remains the same as on August 1." Some of the companies claim to have received instructions from the Pacific Coast oil division, but D. H. Folsom, oil director, has asked only for "voluntary cooperation of dealers." J. K. Firth, Jr., Secretary of the Pacific Coast War Service Committee, which some of the oil companies state have issued orders, said in a letter to Mr. Holmes, dated October 25: "This office will not issue In structions that distributors of gas oline and distillate on the Pacific Coast confine their sales to the hours between 6 a. m. and 6 p. m. We are asking for the voluntary cooperation 01 an oisiriDuiors. we trust you will cooperate with us in asking distributors to voluntarily limit their sales to the hours be tween 6 a. m. and 6 p. m." Neither has the State Council of Defense issued any closing odars, but only a request for a closing, which is purely voluntary. "I shall cheerfully cooperate In any measure inaugurated by the government," said Mr. Holmes, "but until I am so advised, I shall not sanction the enforced ' closing of garages by oil companies in the name of the fuel administration."
