BACK TO GOVERNMENT SERVICE 185 



Of course, there are some fellows who do not 

 feel settled anywhere, and they keep filing 

 request after request for transfer from one lo- 

 cality to another. I was one of this kind myself ; 

 I "always wanted to be where I wasn't." But 

 these fellows are the exception, not the rule. 



Anyhow, to my mind, it is a pretty punk spec- 

 imen of the veterinary profession that can not 

 beat the Bureau salary and comforts to a frazzle 

 in practice! Any ordinary little practice will 

 net a fellow nearly as much as the Bureau salary 

 amounts to; and you can be a human being at 

 least, — which is something, too.
