 Assembly of information at this time of year will enable the govern ment to launch the field work early next season. Detailed preparation oi plans probably will be carried out during the winter but the definite allocation of funds and creation of an official set-up for handling the work in the Territory thus far, it is understood, is only tentative
 Main aviation routes are likely to be provided with all modern facilities, such as are maintained on main routes in the States, including well lighted terminal fields, emergency fields, shelter cabins at the inter mediate points, border lights on main fields, iadio-telephone service and more secondary weather bureaus and stations.
 Confers With Officials
 Much of the work, especially prep aration of fields may be carried on with aid of the Alaska Road Commis- sion.

AIR COMMERCE
 ADVISOR IS ON
 WAY TO STATES
Capt. Whitehead Indicates Limited Development
 May Be Started

Capt. Edward Whitehead. district advisor to the Department of Air Commerce arrived in Juneau this morning aboard the Yukon after completing two-months survey of Alaska's proposed new airport sys- tenn.
 Capt. Whitehead spent the day con- ferring with Territorial and MA officials, and planned to fly south in Sheldon Simmons Patco plane late this afternoon to catch the Yu- kon at Wrangell. He is returning to his headquarters in Washington, D. c.
 No new word has been received on whether or not the $2,900,000 sought for the greater Alaska airways sys- tenn has been approved, but an early start on at least limited develop ment of the program is indicated by Whitehead's survey. The S17,000,000 national airport program was okayed yesterday by the Department of Commerce.
 Assembling Information
 Whitehead spent most of his time while in the Territory in visiting fields in southeast Alaska, and along the route from Ketchikan, to Juneau, Fairbanks, Nome, Flat, and Bethel,

REPORTS MINING CONDITION GOOD
 IN VALDEZ AREA
Capt. Irving Says Several Old Properties Have
 Been Opened Up

Capt. John Irving, of Victoria, old time north Pacific Coast steamship operator, and former member of the Provincial Legislature from Cassiar, returned to Juneau on the Yukon from an inspection of his mining property-the Portage mine-at Port Wells, TO miles west of Valdez, and will sail for Vancouver on the Prin- cess Norah tomorrow morning.
 Capt. Irving arrived from Victoria on October g, and sailed to the west ward on the Yukon on October 25.
 Conditions are very good in the Valdez district, Capt. Irving report ed. Several mines, which have been inactive for years, have been re-op- ened. The Cliff mine has been re- opened by Lewis Levensaler, Gamer on and Johnson are resuming opera tions at their mine near the Shoup Glacier, Ramsay Rutherford has re- opened mine near the Valdez gla- sier and the Big Four and Little

RED CROSS IS OF ASSISTANCE
 IN MANY WAYS
Director Phillips, of Ju- neau Roll Call, Tells
 of Obligations

Red Cross service to veterans and to men now on the rosters oi the Army, Navy and Coast Guard is continuous It is one of the charter obligations forcefully inn pressed on everyones mind as we prepare for the observance of Ar mistice Day, which also marks the official opening of the Red Cross Roll Call and funds raised now to help carry on this work" says A. B. Phillips, director of Red Cross Roll Call in Juneau chapter.
 "The National Red Cross ex- pended $41S,2Oo last year for this type of service. am informed by Bowen Mccoy, director of Red Cross War Service in the Pacific Area, that these expenditures for the past IT years total s206,6l7, ,152," continues MT. Phillips.
 New Chapter Work
 .Mr. Mccoy points out that among those classed by Federal relief au- thorities as unemployables are many veterans and former service men who are disabled and therefore un- able to compete with stronger men in todays vigorous competition for jobs. These men would become public charges if it were not for the agreement between the Red Caoss and public relief authorities

 At the Army or Navy hospitals Red Cross directors of medical so- cial service help physicians in soly- ing a patients family problems as an aid to the diagnosis and treat ment of disease. Field directors serve the military just as a well or dered family welfare unit serves a community"
 The local chapter has taken an active part in the service to veter- ans and to the Army and Navy forces.

which gives certain of these cases over to local chapters for supple mental service and relief.
 This arrangement does not nee essarily mean that the Red Gross chapter gives prolonged support to these facilities from it's chapter funds. The investigatory service to determine eligibility of certain benefits may be all that is requlr- ed in some cases.
 Staff Workers
 'sThe Red Cross has staff work CTS and trained workers who are thoroughly familiar with the claims veterans may be allowed because of disabilities incurred through war service, the benefits to which they are entitled under existing legis- tion. They understand the govern mental procedure essential to es- tablish evidence as to service con- nections for their disabilities and they have liason contacts with of- ficials in the proper governmental agencies to supplement the chap ter's effort.
 Community Help
 Red Cross War Service is a help to the community as well as to the veterans, because of the provision it makes for those who would oth- erwise be on relief rolls. There are probably few people who realize the amount of money returned to a community through compensation checks secured for veterans by Red Cross workers who had the good will and patience and skill to help war veterans in their time of need.
 MT. Phillips re-emphasizes the outstanding work of the Red Cross in the government hospitals. He said:

If a vague prediction is made and news of

While they do not make any mention of the re-

their article may be accepted as an answer to them.
The average reader may not see why vague pre-

are mostly restricted TO certain regions of weakness

and because earthquakes frequent.

In 1880 General Motors Corp.

Kettering not only introduced
his unit injector to take the place
of the fuel pump previously used,
but he also went to tWo-cycle OPP
Grafton.
Your automobile engine is
four-cycle engine. On the down.
stroke the piston draws in a mix
ture of air and fuel On the up
stroke it congresses it. The next
downstroke, the third of the cycle,
is the power stroke. The fourth
stroke accomplishes the "scaveng-
ing" or eXhausting of the burnt

TINE four-cycle Diesel engine
Il follows this same plan-Suc-
ton, compression, combustion and
exhaust.
The two-cycle engine cuts This
plan in half. Every down stroke of
the engine is a power stroke. Con-
sequently on the upstroke both
the scavenging of the cyclinder
and the intake of fresh air must
be accomplished.
Kettering accomplished this by
building cylinders with openings
or ports" in them. At the COM
pletiOn of the downstroke or
power stroke, the piston clears
these ports. A blower or fan
blows blast of air past the cylin-
ders and through them by WY of
the ports.
This blast does the scavenging.

blowing in fresh air before the
rising piston has closed the ports.

. PERSON who has typhoid fever must be kept
N alone and cared for preferably by an expert
enced nurse. If it is summer, the patients room
should be screened to keep out flies
Because a person with typhoid is likely to remain
long in bed, he should have bed with firm mat
tress. and arrangements must be made TO cnange inc
bed linen any time it is soiled.
The patient must be bathed at least once a day
and his back and butocks kept clean to prevent sec
ondary infections 1t is also important to see that
his mouth is kept clean and is rlnsed each te aIIer
food is taken.
There was time when it thought advisable
to starve typhoid patients 1t is known that the
condition is so serious that it breaks down the nutrl-
ton of the patient and, accordingly Diet OF from
5000 to $500 caores is provided so that the patent
will not lose weight.
THERE are no drugs that have special virtues in
L typhoid fever, and it is not definitely estao-
shed that typhoid fever vaccine is useful IN treat
ment.
It is well established. however that vaccine
made Of killed typhoid germs is of value in prevent
ing the disease This was quite certainly proved dur
ing the World War Any one with average lnteIll-
gence who is likely to be exposed TO the danger OF
contaminated food or water should that he is
vaccinated against typhoid fever.
In the entire United States Army during the
World War there only slightly more than 1000
cases of typhoid fever among something like 100000
enrolled troops If the typhoid rate which prevailed
during the Spanish American War had existed there
would have been approximately a million cases
II is customary to give three injections of the vac
cine against typhoid fever at Today intervals, al
though the intervals between injections may be
shortened in time of necessity.
Obviously, the giving of such vaccines Is the WORK
of physician or Of a trained nurse.
