STOP SMEARING
Business is making a good record
in this war. The public knows it
and business executives know it.
There is not going to be much
charity for a few selfish operators
‘whe spoil that record by seeking to
grab what they can out of the war.
Government, on its side, when it
punishes the malefactors, owes is
to the country to avoid serupulous-
ly any suggestion of “smearing” all
business and industry for the faul
of a few. »

Our FBI are to be commended
for “nipping in the bud” what
might have spelled great disaster
to our people and property. One
group of four German came ashore
in a rubber boat on Long Island,
another group of four came ashgre
by the same method on a Florida
beach. All were captured by ‘the
authorities. They carried complete
equipments of civilian clothes,
many kinds of forged credentials,
sunit cases with many secret com-
partments, and $170,000 in Ameri-
can money. Immediate execution
will be too good.

BET THE PROOF
In a recent conversation several
people admitted that they couldn't
prove they had been born if pro-
ducing a birth certificate was the
mecessary evidence. This is not
a rare instance as many of us have
found out when due tg government
requirements we must show a birth
certificate to secure certain posi-
tions. Most of us have taken our
birth for granted and not consider-
ed seeking official proof. We may
have the blood of ‘landed gentry’
flowing in our veins, may have
come from super deluxe stock
whose ancestry has made us proud
and boastful, but try and get a na-
tional defense job without a birth
certificate even if you are a des-
cendant of the ‘first families’. May-
be you had better get out the fam-
ily bible and begin to figure about
where to send for the necessary
data. It wouldn't hurt to have
them thar papers’ on hand.

STILL AT IT
Many folks that you know have
surplus sugar stored away. Some
have recently purchased cases of
tomatoes and when there was the
scare of lack of spices and oils peo-
ple bought heavily to put these in.
There are buyers who have started
to hoard coffee, tea and coca be-
cause of ‘priorities’ in this line. We
heard one woman say that she
would be willing to shoulder a gun
if it would enable her to keep her
coffee pot full. But our restric-
tions on sugar were mot so severe
that we are going without our
sweet. Sugar is still seld across
the counter, it still is found on our
dining table. We still have our
candy and cookies. Perhaps it is
time for wus to have a ‘run’ on
something else and maybe coffee is
the thing. Of course it doesn’t
matter perhaps, but coffee loses its
flavor when it ages even though it
might be vacuum packed. But
there always folks who will hoard
through fear. It is fear that makes
us act this way and fear plays the
devil with ‘morale’. Instead of
hoarding coffee, why not try hoard-
ing war bonds?
As we stated at about this time
last year. the worldly wise tell us
that European countries are facing
a terrible famine next winter. That
was last winter, and yet they man-
aged to pull through and live to
fight another day. But of the grief
facing Europe for this coming win-
ter there can be me doubt. €Con-
able to rebel because of the starv-
A teacher in a college at Athens,
when adked if the populace was li-
ing conditions, replied, “the people
are too weak to even carry a gun.”
So there lies the truth of all oecu-
pied countries perhaps. The fact
that a Finnish newspaper says that
Eurcpean countries are weary of
war may be typical of that country
in its fight with Russia. To have
a cettlement between this country
and its fight against Russia would
indeed be a victory over Hitler.
But we must remember that as to
the lowered morale of other na-
tions, it is the occupied countries
which are the sufferers in
to sthrvation. The aggressive na-
tions are looking to their lardet
and keeping their warriors suppli-'
ed in order to continue to fight.
Germany is not going to let its
army sjarve if it can get food from
the occupied lands. England and
Russia and our cwn country are
keeping stocked shelves and full
pantries and farms producing. The
voices of the people of occupied
lands call in hunger but they are
not the ones which will prebably
bring the war to an end.
CN Tay
We are at beginning to feel!
the colossal changes war has forced
on the economic and social life of
the nation. And, in fle next six
months or so, changes in a far
greater degree than anything we
have yet experienced will imevita-
bly take place.
¥t should be clear to everysme by
now that the American standard of
living, which has been infinitely
luxurious by cemparison with that
of most tHe rect of the world, will
be largely abandoned for the dara-
tion. This year, our national in-
ccme will be hae largest in our his-
teay. But the amount of money
which the people will have to
spend for gesds and services will
be down tc the lowest depression
levels and perhaps lower. There
are three principal reasons for that.
First, and most important, is the
tax burden, whieh will be felt in
the lowest income groups, and will
reach staggering proportions in
the middle and ‘Thigh income
greups. Secend, War Bond pur-
chases, whether voluntary or in-
forced, will take a substantial part
of everyone's remaining income.
Third, the price level is far above
that of 1932 and 1933.
For the most part, we have not
vet felt any particular lack of
“luxury goods.” While manufact-
ure of such goods was stopped
some time ago in most lines, stocks
on hand have Kept store inven-
tories adequate. Soon it will be
impossible to buy a refrigerator, an
automatic heating plant, a radio, an
cfficc machine, and ten thousand
and one other items, unless you
have a first-class priority rating,
and the item is necded for a pur-
pose directly ecnmected with the
wer. Rationing of public tran
sportation services may make plea-
sure travel impossible. And it is
generally expected that a card-
rationing system, similar to that
row in effect for sugar, will be ex-
tended to other foeds, te clothes
and to many additional necessities.
Whele professions are being
virtually wiped out. For example,
there is the plight of the salesman.
Taere is ng need for his services if
his industry is engaged in war
work. If his industry is mot in war
work, its preduction is swiftly de-
clining and ke has less and less to
sell. These people are being ab-
sorbed by war industry, for the
most part. After the war they will
face ancother difficult problem of
readjustment.

T. B. Chief Death Cause
Among Younger People
Although medicine and allied sci-
ences have forged ahead in methods
of treatment, tuberculosis remains
the chief contributor to the death
rate among persons 21 to 35 in the
United States, Dr. Dean A. Clark,
National Institute of Health surgeon,
told members of the health division,
Council of Social Agencies.
Washington has the highest tuber-
culosis death rate in the country, Dr.
Clark said, and is alse the highest
in venereal infections among cities
of 500,000 population or more.
Throughout the country, 40 per-
sons out of every 100,000 white and
200 from the same number in the
Negro population died from the
disease. But in Washington 89 deaths
for every 100,000 white population
were reported, Dr. Clark declared.
In the District of Columbia there
is also an urgent need for the addi-
tion of a mental hygiene branch to
the Health department, he said.
“There is no branch of medicine in
the district which is so inaccessible
to the low income group.”
Speaking of accidental blindness,
Dr. Clark said mishaps that occur
in the home are the largest single
cause of blindness. Poor housing
conditions were present in 32 per
cent of the cases reported.
little industry ~ before. In many
defense areas, population growth—
unprecedented in its rapidity—has
created an exceedingly severe
housing and _ transportation prob
lem. These preblems have not been
adequately solved, and they will
grew worse. They constituate a
major headache to governmental
authorities.
The population trend from coun-
try to city is intense. Agricultural
workers aftracted by the big wages
paid by war industry, are literally
leaving the farms in droves. The
farm operator can’t get enough la-
bor, and even when he can, he
must offer wages that in many
cases are beyond his ability to pay.
This has offset a good part of the
benefits of inereased farm income.
The foregoing simply illustrates a
few of the almost revolutionary
changes that are occurring in this
country. And they illustrate, by
inference, what our post-war
problems will be. Authorities in
both business and government
seem ccnvinced that none of the
problems are insoluble. They know
that there will be many mistakes,

can use sheep hurdles laced with

necessary earth, chalk or wire net-
ting supported on posts.

ihg splinters of glass by ‘ covering

Incendiary Bombs
. Cemmon types weigh from 2 to
5 lbs. Heavier ones cen weigh up
to 60 lbs. The common bomb does
not explode, but for the first 50
secends it looks very formidable
for jets of flame are omitted’ and
pieces of molten magnesium may
be thrown as far as 50 f:et.
A large bomber carries 1000 or
2,000 which are dropped in con-
tainers cf 10 to 20. As they drop
they become distributed. Flying
200 miles per hour at 5,000 feet and
releasing 20 bombs per second the
bomber would drop its 1,000 bombs
in a little under three miles and
would stort a fire every 50 of 70
yards. Flying 100 miles per hour,
and dropping 100 bombs every two
seconds it would drop all in 1,000
yards snd start a fire every 12 to
13 yards. These facts are of great
significance to rural areas on ac-
count of the danger to livestock,
buildings, forage stock and stand-
ing crops.
The small bombs have poor
penetration, they can, however,
pierce an ordinary roof but remain
in the upper story, hence stable
lofts should be as far as possible
kept empty.
Incendiary bombs can be dealt
with by covering them with sand
and collecting and removing them
with the rake, scoop and container
provided for that purpose cr by
spraying with water in the form of
a “mist” spray. Stirrup pumps
with hose and spray nozzle, costing
$2.40 will project a powerful spray
of water 30 ft. A heavy volume of
makes the bomb splutter and throw
molten magnesium around. Never
attempt to extinguish incendiary
bombs with any form of fire ex-
tinguishzr. The base of “fire ex-
tinguisher” is a chemical which
generates dangerous gases if spray-
ed on a bomb.
In stakles, byres and other places
where stock is housed, all door-
ways and exits must be kept clear
of all obstacles so that animals be-
ing freed from buring buildings
will have free access to yard or
field. Slacks should not be built
around steadings, but preferably in
open fields, 100 yards apart where
possible. Forage, bedding or other
inflammabl> materials, should not
be stored in lofts but should be
placed in separate buildings away
from as a precaution
against the risk of fire.
Treatment of Burns
The e<ffected parts of animals
suffering from burns should be
treated as quickly as possible by
lightly bathing. the :parts (with cot-
ton wool; soaked 'in a: suitable’ pre=
paration. One of ‘the manyj reprig=

Although the normal dispersal of
farm animals affords a degree of
safety during an air raid, in view
of the possibility of poison gas be=

least one suitable building made as
air-tight. as possible, so that ami-
mals may be brought into adequate

Ventilators And Other Air Inlets
And Outlets Should Be Blacked
Animals should, of course be re-
moved from a gas cloud as scon as
possible and kept to the windward
for cover. They should also be
driven from contaminated pasture.
If a standing has to be used which:
bias been contaminated by gas, the
atiimals should be penned or fold-
od en fresh straw, sawdust, or peat |
moss.
Treatment
If they are aplased with liquid
gas, first attend to the parts cover-
ed with fine skin for example, with
dows first treat the area around the
udder, then the heels, the face aad
at
quick treatment of effected areas is
all important and that bleach paste,
if ysed, should not be left on the
animal for longer than ten minutes,
if possible. Farmers should have
on hand chlorinated lime in quan-
tity, antigas ointment (those with a
line base are recommended, as
those with a vanishing cream base
ore too irritant), bicarbonate of so-
da, cotten wool, bandages and anti-
septic tabl:t for the preparation of
wound lotions. The most suitable
form of bleaching powder to store
is the new non-hygroscopic variety
which retains its strength over long
periods. The “bleach” is prepared
by Imperial Chemical Industries.
The natural resistance of horses
and cattle, and the protective value
of the fleece of shzep, would dis-
count to some extent the effects of
air sprayed mustard gas. The long
coat of the horse also affords a
good measure of working horses,
when clipping of thls coat is neces-
sary, this should be restricted to
the belly. A hors: whose skin is
wet, especially with sweat is more
susceptakle to the effect of the
blister gases than one with a dry
coat.
Rugs, blankets and other cloth-
ing will be effective against air-
sprayed mustard gas, provided they
are removed as early as the situ-
ation permits, e. g, “weathered”
for at least 48 hours before it is
safe to touch; even then it should
not be handled freely. Good pro-
tecticn to the legs can be secured
by bandages provided they are re-
moved early after contamination.
Elandages may with advantage be
treated with raw linseed or other
vegetable oils.
Forage And Fodder
The normal coverings provided
for forage, such as thatch, sheets
and barns, will give effective pro-
tection against liquid blister "gas.
Covers should also be provided for
foods whilst stored and during
transit. Tarpaulin is useful but
any cover, such as sacking is of
value especially if air space can be
arranged betwezen it and the for-
age. coverings are easily
decontaminated by simply airing
for a few days, or batter still by
boiling in water. If fodder stacks
are heavily contaminated the outer
layers should be removed and
burned. Fodder exposed ts arseni-
cal smokes or the vapor of blister
will not remsin dangerous but will
lose it palatability. Sacks and
bales should be opened and the
contents aired until decontaminat-
ed. Animals, unless very hungry,
ususlly refuse gas-contaminated
fodder. Forage, etc, which has
contaminated or suspected of
being contaminated with liquid gas |
not be handled or used un-
til it has been inspected by the lo-
cal gis officer.
Land And Crops
With to farm lands gener-
ally, spray ccntamination can be
left to the decontaminnting effects
of the weather. In mild or warm
weather there will generally be
little danger remaining after three
days. In cold weather the danger
may persist much longer and in
such circumstances special pre-
cautions should be observed. In
mild weather pasture land which
hss received fine spray should be
safe for persons and animals to
walk over after six hours, but it is
not advisable to turn animals out
to graze cn pasture land which has
received any spray until at least 48
hours after the contamination has
cecurred.
If grass or crops are subjected to
heavy ccncentrations of non-per-
sistent gases they may be damaged |
or in some «cases destroyed. The
effect of gas in such circumstances
will generally be observed by the
bleached appearance of the grass or
creps. No immediate action is,
however, called for and if the crop
recovers and grows, there should
be no subsequent danger. Growing
crops and root crops will require
special . consideration according to
the stage ‘of their development and
Be necessary to obtain expert ad-
viee before disposing of it for food.
Water Supplies
True gases and vapor do nist pol-
lute water. Liquid blister gas
sinks in water but may leave an
oily film on the surface which will
be particularly noticeable on still
water. There is some danger of
arsenical poisoning from water
contaminated with lewisite. Water-
ing from small ponds should be
avoided but if the use of such wa-
ter is absolutely necessary when
the supply should be scooped from
the surface. No danger need be
anticipated from running water
(streams). Contaminated troughs
should be drained with bleach
paste and left to “weather.”
Poultry
Poultry, like other birds, are
very susceptible ‘to poison: gases.
Some gas-proofed accomodations
should be held in readiness. Block
up holes in the woodwork and
make doors fit as tightly as possi-
ble. Sacks and blankets should bz
nailed over them folded and tied
back so that they can be easily re-
leased to cover the doors. If time
allows they should be saturated in
water when an alarm is given.
Where holes are provided for
ventilation similar = arrangements
must be made to render the ven-
tilation gas-proof. Where it is
found impractical to arrange blank~
ets or sacks in the manner suggest-
ed above, wet sacks, old rags or
even wet hay or straw may be
pushed into ventilation holes.
