THE country's most valuable
papers will soon rest securely
behind one of the most COM
L plete burglar protection Sys-
TENS In the world.
Combining the newest mechanical
devices for such protection, together
with a small corps of guards always
on duty, and a system of sound,
printed and electrical records, Uncle
Sam defies any one to take one small
document from the thousands that
are to be placed in the new United
States Archives Building, which Is
scheduled for occupancy in July.
Tiny, supersensitive microphones,
able to pick up the slightest sound
even the motion of body-and elec-
trical contacts on doors are features
of the system being installed at a cost
Of almost $4,000.
Because the documents are to be
stored on steel stacks 81 feet high. the
system revolves around the protection
of these stack areas when they are
closed.
"Inside Jobs" Prevented.
Should a person try to force his
entry through any of the doors leading
to the stack areas an alarm will sound
and a record will be printed automat-
ically giving the exact door being
tampered with. And if an Archives
employe conceals himself in these
areas while working, with intent to
burglarize when the coast is clear, his
chances will be nil, for the sensitive
little microphones throughout the
stack area will actuate an alarm that
will locate the intruder's position i'm
mediately.
Like small army, the captain Of
the guard, the IL division chiefs and
the 80 guards in the Archives Building
will work with the automatic master
control, which might be termed the
general of the entire system.
The stack areas. divided into zones
are the responsibility Of the section
chiefs, each chief with 10 zones under
his supervision.
What would be Q burglars chance
with a system working on this order
against him?
When a section chief closes his
zones by seeing that all doors are

to make certain no lights were visible.
Defense against submarine and de-
stroyer attack at night is one Of the
important factors. On the destroyers
and submarines, whose most effective
work Is done at night, lights were also
darkened.
The largest and most powerful sub
marines in the world are participat-
ing In these maneuvers, such craft az
the 371-footer Norwhal and Nautilus,
and their slightly smaller but equally
feared sister ships of Division IL.
These undersea cruisers have to
their advantage one Of the most val
liable assets in sea fighting, the ele-
ment Of surprise. They are consid-
erably faster than the train supply
ships, Of the Navy, and their officers
know that q fleet Is no faster than its
slowest elements.
One of the reasons for the shroud
Of secrecy thrown about the ma
neuvers by Admiral Joseph Mason
Reeves, commander in chief, Is OBJ
vious in this connection.
It Is to safeguard from the officers
of the opposing fleets what move
ments and dispositions their adver-
saries plan.

Your Health
DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN-

4 MONG the most valuable remedies used in
IA medicine today is the simple sugar known as
glucose. AS more and more studies have been made
of the chemistry of the human body, this agent has
come into wider and wider use.
It's chief value lies in the fact that it is absorbed
rapidly and requires no special digestion, going at
once into the body tissues. Furthermore, it is used
up IN the tissues and places no special strain on the
organs of excretion.
There are several ways in which glucose is put
into the body at times when needed. First, it may
be taken by mouth. Because some persons are I'M
able to stand the sweetness of plain glucose, it has
been recommended that it be given in the form of
iced lemonade. About a half pint of the glucose is
added to a quart of iced lemonade.
TN other cases the glucose is injected in a weak
l. solution under the skin in those parts of the body
where the skin is loose. This is, of course, more
painful than taking glucose by mouth and there is
sometimes danger of damage to the tissues, but
there are cases in which persons are so sick that
they simply are unable to take any food by mouth.
The third method demands a certain amount Of
technical skill. 1t consists Of the injection of the
glucose solution directly into the vein. Large amounts
of the solution may be injected very slowly, and when
given in this maner the glucose is rapidly utilized
by the body.
There is also the possibility of injecting this solu-
ton into the lower end Of the intestinal tract, but
doctors still disagree as to value Of this method.
To some persons glucose is irritating. Certainly
the absorption is slow and there seems to be some
doubt as TO whether enough of it is absorbed prompt
ly to have the desired effects.
n n
H are many types of disease now in which
l. glucose is used. These include cases of weak
ness, cases in which the pancreaS gland sends too
much insulin into the body, cases of failure Of the
heart tissue, and all sorts of instances in which ordi-
nary feeding is difficult or impossible.
In certain instances, when surgery is to be done
on a patient, glucose is given in advance of the oper-
alton so that the patient will be prepared for the
wear and tear on the tissues that follow the opera
tive procedure.
This is particularly the case when surgery is 60
ing TO be done on stomach or i~ntestines.
Glucose also is used especially in cases when there
is surgery to be done on gallbladder or liver. In such
cases the usual functions of the liver in storing sugar
and in giving it out to the tissues as needed may be
disturbed
