wasted by local governments, and
while We believe this is high, tho
waste is enormous.
This is due chiefly to the fact
that in the United States local gov

First Aid Kit on the Auto.

Many injuries which mean loss Of
time and inconvenience could be
avoided by the use OF prompt meas
ures. Cuts and wounds treated at once
will often heal without further atten-
ton. whereas IL allowed to 20 unat-
tended for a time may result in pain
and partial incapacity. For this reason
a we'll known medical man recommends
a first aid kit on every automobile as
we'll as in every home. The first essen
tial is an antiseptic. Iodine is con-
venient and effective. but it is most
effective when used in p diluted form.
1t should be diluted with water or al
coho). Other items to be considered
are: Powdered alum. for an astringent

throat, and sometimes to induce voTn-

Among the most important projects
pertaining to the Army is that which
contemplates a juStifiable increase in
the Medical Department OF the Regular
Army. For the past I'VE years Maj. Gen.
Merritte w. ireland, Surgeon General of
the Army, has described the situation
that finds the Army Medical Corps Sc
riouSly Handicapped in the performance
Of its duties to the military establish
ment through shortage of personnel,
but up to the present time the situation
has MOI been relieved. Many of the
designations are attributed to the cur
rent shortage Of Medical Department
personnel, which Of necessity is curtail-
ing leave privileges. opportunities to
keep abreast of the times by attendance
at civilian clinics and overwork, with
its recurrent feeling of unsatisfactory
accomplishment. During the 1928 fiscal
arations in the Medical Corps, while
during the 1929 fiscal year the num-
Der Of oficer separations from the med
ical branch Of the Army was so. These
separations include designations, re-
tirements, discharges and deaths.
The measure, which will be consid-
cred at the December session Of Con-
gress. calls for an increase of 542 off,
GERS and 1880 enlisted men in the Med
ical Department, this increase being
added to the present authorized strength
Of the Army. This increase of 542 Off
GERS includes those for the Medical
Corps. Dental Corps, Veterinary Corps
and Medical Administrative Corps. II
the 1913 medical officers requested are
added to the Medical Corps, such ac-
ton in no way speeds up the promotion
of any of the officers Of that corps now
in the service. All of the vacancies to
be created by the enactment Of this in
crease would be filled only in the lowest
grade and the officers so appointed will
attain future promotion only after full
filling present requirements al to years
of service in grade.
The proposed increase to the Medi-
cal Department not only provides more
personnel so as to permit the leave of
absence to which officers are entitled
and are now being denied because of
existing shortage. but 1t also provides
more general Officer positions, thus
making their future Army careers much
more attractive. While the ratio Of
general officer appointments proposed

grams. which appear to be somewhat
remote at this time-an annual supply
OF but 20 executive officer billets is
available. It is obvious that, wen al
lowing for attrition among them, the
$40 commanders cannot all receive
these assignments before passing out Of
the grade by promotion or retirement.
At present there are ~ commanders
due to begin their last tour of sea duty
this year and but 10 available executive
billets. This disparity of billets in re-
peated, as in the case Of captains, and
increases, In subsequent years, and 1t
appears that some officers of the classes

tive officer duty on q light cruiser or

The Interstate Commerce Commits

Commissioner Eastman stated at the

nothing compulsory about the plan, nor
even any assurance that authority Will
be sought to carry out the conSolida-

Of the plan is that it puts the I. G. G.

corporation news prepared by Standard

for the Associated Press:

Reversing the trend Of the previous
week, securities markets in the past
week displayed moderate strength. AL
most all groups participated In the adj
vance, utilities and equipments show
ing the largest gains. Turnover was
small, averaging about 5000, 900 shares
daily. Because OF the improved tech
meal position of the market at this
time prices promptly responded to buy
ing, which in the past week, 1t Is be-
lieved, was due to covering operations.
Brokers loans again showed only q
moderate change from the preceding
week, declining $4,000, 900. Total loans
outstanding as of December "a amount
ed to $3,328, 000,0 900, the lowest level
reached since September, 1927. Loans
by Others" showed q decrease OF $751;
900 900, rejecting further Withdrawals
Of corporation funds.
Toward the close of the week call
money rose to 6 per cent, the highest
level reached since November II. This
flrmer tone in the money market Is the
result of large Withdrawals by corpo-
rations for year end dividend and In
tereSt payments, which are expected to
total more than 81 600, 000, 600. Another
factor which no doubt had some in
fluence on the raising Of the rate was
the recalling Of SOS, 000, 900 by banks,
