AYOAIEN DOCTORS. “In certain fields of medicine, such as maternity work, child welfare, and tlie public health services, women doctors are firmly established on their merits. So far they have not sucecded in competing extensively with men. cither in general practice or in tlie specialised branches of research, surgery, and consulting work. The only reasonable attitude surely is fo allow moil and women equal rights of entry into tlie profession, in the certainty that public- demand will settle the amount by the employment offered to each sex.”--“Yorkshire Post.''

ROADS OF THE FUTURE. “T mu sure I am right in asserting that the future road will he as white as possible, thanks to its ‘holding.’ granular surface. That must he so in the interests of higher night speeds on the highway. And it is in hours of darkness that high speed can be most safely indulged in. for there is less traffic about, and the vehicle carries with it that best of all warning signals, a ray of light. One tiling t feel sure the road of the future will not have, and that is the high-con-crete kerb at each side. I can conceive nothing more futile or more potentially or actually dangerous. In the event of a skid occurring they are a veritable death-trap, for the sideways travelling wheel cannot mount them. It simply crashes into them and gives the vehicle every possible chance of turning over and causing one of the worst sort of accidents than can occur.” —Major H, 0. D. Segrave,
