The above picture shows former Ambassador Josephus Daniels
greeting Dean E. J. Kyle in Mexico City this past summer. This
meeting was the first stop made by Dean Kyle on a Central and
South American tour. Dean Kyle is now reviewing his entire trip
in Administration 404 and plans to supplement the course with
motion pictures that he took. The course is offered Tuesdays at
11 o’clock and is held in the Physics Lecture room.
Specialized Fields Needing Manpower
To Have Worker Deferments Granted
Urging the necessity of serious
ly considering for deferment stu
dents in certain specialized fields
in which dangerously low levels
of manpower exist, General J. Watt
Page, State Selective Service Di
rector, today warned local boards
against classifying registrants
without regard to the fact that
they are in training or preparation
for activities essential to the na
tional health, safety, or interest,
and war production.
This is particularly pertinent,
General Page pointed out, in cases
of engineers, chemical, physics,
medical, and dental students. Quot
ing from a directive received to
day from National Selective Ser
vice Headquarters, he said:
“Although admittedly there is
an overlapping of the military and
civilian requirements of a nation
at war, it must be borne in mind
the one is dependent upon the oth
er. It is estimated that the ex
panding Army will eventually re
quire doctors and dentists in num
bers heretofore unknown. They
will not be available if those stu-
denst who show reasonable promise
of becoming doctors and dentists
are inducted prior to becoming
eligible for commissions.
“War industries are undergoing
a hitherto unknown expansion.

Let Him Stutter,
Penn College Prof
Advises to Parents
State College, Pa. (AGP)—The
most practical way to handle a
child who stutters, a Pennsylvania
State college instructor in clinical
speech advises, is to let him stut
ter.
Eugene T. McDonald said the best
thing to do if the child stutters
is not to call attention to the de
fect, let him speak slowly and
never ask him to repeat.
“As soon as a child becomes
aware of the fact that his parents
are concerned about his stuttering,
he attempts to control it and his
fear brings on more stuttering,”
McDonald said.
He added no single cure-all for
stuttering has been discovered. Im
provement may be effected, he
declared, by distracting attention,
constant suggestion, reading sylla
ble by syllable or making the pa
tient conscious of the movements
necessary to produce sounds.
Mills College Girls
Entertain Army Posts
Oakland, Calif. (AGP)—Girls of
Mills college, oldest women’s col
lege west of the Mississippi, are
doing their bit for defense by en
tertaining groups of soldiers from
nearby army posts.
The first group of 25 service
men were entertained at tennis,
bridge, badminton and swimming
in the afternoon, served a buffet
supper, and were guests at inform
al dancing in the evening.
Chemists are essential to insure a
sufficient flow of material for the
armed forces, and industry must
look to the engineering, chemical,
and physics students now in train
ing to meet their present and fu
ture requirements.
“It is equally important that in
structors in these fields be serious
ly considered for occupational de
ferment. Shortages Of qualified
instructors are known to exist.”
General Page emphasized that in
applying the board provisions of
this policy, there will be no devia
tion from the statutory prohibi
tion against group deferments.
The local boards will consider all
evidence submitted and decide each
case on its particular facts with
serious regard for the nation’s
manpower requirements in these
specialized fields, he said.
Avoid Undue Alarm
Concerning the War
In defense to the coming gener
ation, adults should keep their
conversation about war calm and
assuring, for undue alarm or pessi
mism may do much harm to chil
dren in the household.
That’s a warning from Dosca
Hale, Extension Service special
ist in parent education and child
development, who says calm cour
age in adults will save children
from much fear and worry.
“In these perilous times one of
the greatest hazards we face is the
threat to family life,” the special
ist says. “So time spent in learn
ing to understand the needs of
children under rapidly shifting
conditions is time well invested for
the protection of our homes and
the future security of this nation.”
She points out that adults are
being called on to spend more and,
more time outside the home on
defense jobs, and to meet this sit
uation children should be shown
that if they take on more home
responsibilities they are helping
in the defense program. There
are many other ways in which
small children may help. For ex
ample, they can save waste paper
and help get it delivered to the
proper authorities. They can help
to save light and heat by turning
off unnecessary lights and stoves
and by reminding others to do so.
Most important of all is the
feeling this work gives the child
—the feeling that he is needed and
that he, along with all the other
people around him, is doing his
bit in the great Victory program,
the specialist explains.

Musical Meanderinqs
By Murray Evans
Dance bands are losing more
men to the draft these days than
they can readily replace. Piano
men are especially difficult to find.
The music field is a fertile one for
the army to pick on, for most mus
icians are young and foot-loose.
Because there have been so many
drafted lately there is developing
an acute shortage. In a way, that’s
good, for it gives youngsters with
fresh talent and new ideas a chance
to enter the business and display
their wares.
But dance band men will do well
to get into army brass bands when
they enter the service. If they ex
pect to learn anything out of orch
estra work there, they are due
for scads of disappointment, for
the army as a rule doesn’t apprec
iate good dance music by the better
bands. Outside of occasional offi
cers’ dances, the average draftee
bandsman will do well to make
coffee and cakes.
Jane Frazee, a picture person
and one of this writer’s favorites,
is a triple threat bundle of fem
ininity. She has a very nice voice,
carries it around in a good-looking
frame, and sings in such a way as
to thoroughly sell every tune al
lotted her.
She did all right for herself first
singing “Wish You Were Here” in
the picture “Buck Privates.” Then
she dubbed in very acceptably with
the Merrimacs in “San Antonio
Rose.” All of which prompts this
column to wager a small wager
that she will be starred in grade
A pictures before many moons.
University of Minnesota exten
sion division is offering 26 new
courses, ranging from, camera-
craft to Greek Mythology.
Average expenses of students at
Yale university are estimated at.
$1,800.
