He didn't offer me but $10 a week, and I didn't want to take $4 lose than I had been gittin' and I told him so. 'Mamie,' he said, 'I don't make much myself, but whatever I promise to pay you you'llt git it and you won't have to wait for it.' When I goes on a job I gives my whole time, night and day, 'cept for 4 hours a day rest period, that any doctor'll tell you a nurse has gotta have if she is to stay on the job and be able to do what the patient needs her to do. Now you knows $10 a week ain't nothin' to pay for day and night services, and white folks wouldn't think of expectin' white nurses to work for such a little bit, and them white nurses does a heap less than me.

    Selection and training
    The Orphan Branch General Miles indirectly blamed the Army's promotion policy for G2's inability to attract talented officers. After the war, he told Congress during the hearings on Pearl Harbor that military intelligence never attracted the numbers of top-quality officers that he would have liked. He acknowledged that, because many of the best officers preferred combat commands, "We did not have a free field for the selection of personnel, and quite rightly. We did the best we could with the personnel and the funds we had available."

    NASA Goes Back in Time to Find the Sources of the 1930s Dust Bowl
    Image Above: Dust storm approaching Stratford, Texas. Dust bowl surveying in Texas. April 18, 1935 Credit: NOAA Photo Library, Historic NWS collection. More Dust Bowl Images In 1931, the middle of the U.S. was hit by a long-term drought that brought fear in handfuls of dust. Rain stopped falling from the skies over the Great Plains, and crops died. Then, the "black blizzards" began, as dust from over-plowed and over-grazed fields blew across the land. By late spring of 1934, the Dust Bowl drought was named the worst in our country's history, severely drying out 27 states and three-fourths of the country. By the time it ended in 1939, the U.S. economy had been devastated.
    While droughts like this are rare, it is important to understand why they occur. Now, a team of scientists from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, headed by Siegfried Schubert, have an explanation. In a study published in the March 19th issue of Science, Schubert and colleagues used a NASA computer model developed with modern-era information from satellites to look back and reconstruct the climate of the past 100 years.
