Books Sent to Russia For War Relief
American medical and surgical textbooks sent to the Soviet Union by hundreds of American medical men and students through Russian War Relief, are helping to prepare new doctors for work with the Red Army and among Russia's 40,000,000 evacuates from invaded territory, it was revealed in letters sent
to Russian War Relief by students in the First Kbarkov Medical Institute.
The Kharkov Institute, one of the largest medical schools in the world, was moved to Chkalov when the Nazis occupied Kharkov. Classes were in full swing within a week after the faculty and student body left Kharkov.
A letter written in painstaking English and signed by six first year students said that "our Institute, in spite of war conditions, is preparing many new physicians for the front and the rear and we work hard at it."
It also reported that "on Sundays we work at the plants and so help the front."
Seeks Correspondence
"We students thank you for the books which you have sent for us," the note concluded.
Another letter, signed by a girl student, Lida Kalinina, 19 years old, invited correspondence with American students.
"My father is at the front," she wrote, after expressing thanks for the text books sent by Russian War Relief. "I study at the Medical Institute. At school I studied German, at the Institute I study English. It is a very interesting language.
"I shall be happy to receive an answer from you."
Vello Stanbach, another student who wrote in English, also expressed a hope that he might hear from American students or physicians. Medical Books Wanted
"I am sure that after the war we shall be able to extend and strengthen our relations," he said.
Both Miss Kalinina and Stanbach may be addressed in care of the Public Relations Department of Russian War Relief, 11 E. 35th St., New York City, which will forward letters.
Russian War Relief is seeking all kinds of up-to-date medical textbooks for Soviet medical students and for the Central Medical Library, in Moscow, which is used by both military and civilian doctors.

Proposes Plan To Use Stamps For Currency
Evanston, Ill.—(ACP)—A plan for substituting currency stamps for small coins to meet a threatened shortage of currency in small denominations has been proposed to government officials by Dr. Paul Haensel, professor of economics at Northwestern University.
Recommending that the currency stamps be printed with the usual postage stamp plates but on durable paper and without perforation, Dr. Haensel said the great advantage of such currency is that it may be printed in the shortest time and in all possible denominations.
"I am inclined to think that the use of metal for currency is only an obsolete tradition which sooner or later must be done away with entirely," he said. "In Great Britain the public very soon realized that pound sterling treasury notes and ten shilling notes are much more practical that sovereigns or half-sovereigns. During the first World war the Tsarist government issued such currency stamps, printing them with the usual postage plates. As a member of the council or board of directors of the Bank of Russia at that time I can testify that this measure was a success."

Children Cared for by Jayhawk Money
Approximately 30 small English children between the ages of 2 and 5 are being cared for at the Jayhawk Nursery, Rugby, England, the interior of which is shown above. These children are war orphans either because a parent has been killed in the war or because both are working in the army or for the government. A
Last year about $3,200 was subscribed by students, faculty and townspeople to maintain the home. The nursery is managed by a competent matron with the assistance of a nurse, who is also a dietitian, and a cook and housemaid.
HOLD THAT LIGHT
Three on a match may not be lucky but it will be patriotic from now on. Matches consume large quantities of wood and metal, by reducing the length of wooden matches a quarter of an inch and cutting the length of the stitch on book matches another quarter, WPB is hoping to save 7,000,000 board feet of wood and 100 tons of steel a year. Americans, incidently, use 500 billion matches a year.
