Whooping cough is contagious dis

Of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes
It is accompanied by a peculiar spas
modic cough, ending in long drawn out
inspiration accompanied by a sound
known as the "whoop" from which the
disease gets its names.
IL is caused by germ present in the
discharges from The nose and mouth
which is spread through the air during
the spells OF coughing Most cases oc-
cur before the tenth year and one at
tack is usually protective for the rest
Of life.
1t is believed that girls are more
liable to contract the disease than boys.
The disease develops i'm from 4 TO a
days. In the beginning the symptoms
are like those Of severe cold. There is
rcdness OF the lining membrane Of the
nose and throat profuse discharge from
this membrane and hoarse, dry cough.

AVIATION CORPS
ARE IN NEED OF
MORE WORKERS

The Signal Corps has authorized
the following statement:
Ten thousand machinists, mechan-
les, chauffeurs, and other skilled
workers are needed at once by the
Aviation Section, Signal Corps, says
the Official Bulletin.
The present call for 10000 men
is to fill an immediate need and
may be regarded as the precursor of
others as the service is being built
up. Even at that the actual strength
of the service today is over one
hundred times what it was on April
l last year.
The dependence of the Air Ser
vice on the most highly skilled men
is being brought out more emphati-
cally with every week of develop
ment. Where in the first rush there
was little experience to indicate this
fact, it has since developed that
practically 90 men out of every 100
in the service must be skilled in
some branch of work.
Airplane work has been wholly
new and unfamiliar to American
mechanics who have been taken from
other trades and converted hastily
into workers on the most delicate
kinds of jobs. 1t has been necessary
for both officers and men to learn
very largely by experience At the
same time degree of care and at
tention not usually associated with
American quality, production. and
methods has been required, as great
watchfulness is essential to prevent
any plane leaving the ground in i'm
perfect condition.
Secretary Baker recently express
ed this situation as follows:
THE great problem now remain
ing is to secure the thousands of
skilled mechanics, engine men, motor
repair men, wood and metal work
ers needed to keep the planes always
in perfect condition. This great
and mechanical force at
the airdomes, flying fields, and re-
pair depots, both here and behind
the lines in France, is a vital in
dustrial link in the chain of air
Without them the planes
turned out would be useless and the
flyers helpless"
Men registered in the draft may
be indicted into this service by APP
plying to their local draft board
Men not registered may enlist at any
recruiting office. Further informa-
ton may be had by applying to the
air division, Personnel Department,
D. c. In either case |
hey will be sent to San Antonio,
Tex, for segregation by trades, fol-
owed by a brief course of instruc-
ion at the flying field or at various
actories and organized into squad
'ons mostly for service overseas.
The present call is especially for
auto mechanics, engine
epairmen, gunsmiths, chauffeurs,
blaeksmiths ,tinsmiths,
electricians, copper
miths, sheet-metal workers, propel-
er makers, wireless operators and
tailors, tent-makers,
truck masters, vulcan
zers, welders, and makers, repairers,
md installers of magnetos, ignition
ystems, cameras, watches, and
locks, instruments and typewriters.
