"HEALTH BUS" ON
THE ROAD AGAIN
Trailer of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene Visiting
Counties

The Health Bus" as the Health
Trailer of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department
OF Health is popularity called, has
started on its tour for the current
season. 1t will remain in the field
until shortly after the schools
open in September.
The provisional itinerary OF the
Trailer. as announced by DR.. r.
H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Heath, calls for
visits to eleven and possibly more
counties. The BUS" will be used
for informal conferences with
mothers about the health needs
of their children and for the ex-
animation of babies and young
children not under medical super
vision.
The conferences-on-Wheels will
supplant the regular child health
conferences that will be held as
usual in the rest of the State dur
ing the summer The tour of the
Trailer covers out-of-the-way com
munities not ordinarily reached by
the regular conferences.
The Health Bus" is fitted UP
with all the equipment usually
found in a children's clinic. 1t is
divided into two compartments
one for physical examinations, the
other for dental examinations and
treatments. There is also a movie
outfit making it possible for NOV
les to be shown in the evenings.
The examinations are usually
made in the car, but as the
Trailer is generally parked near
some neighborhood center a
church building or community hall
the conferences can be held
indoors if the weather is unfavor-
able.
The arrangements in each coun-
ty are under the direction of the
county health officer. The staff
includes a physician with special
experience in the care of babies
and young children, a dentist and
a public health nurse.

the readers one or two Things be-
aius TO happen. The story breaks
before tins weekly article can go
u press or the writer finds much
to his embarrassment, that he has
the story all wrong.
Last week for instance, II you
reud this column, you saw where
| said Governor O'COnOr was 60
ing TO make an appointment in
has regime, one of great import
ance. He did, and just to keep
the record straight it was the ap-
pointment of Charles E. MOylan,
county man which many OF you
readers undoubtedly know. He
was given, by Governor O'Conor,
the craftsmanship OF the State In
duStridl Commission. For various
reasons | was unable to tell you
that it was going to happen before
Governor O'ConOr could make the
announcement. Governor O'Conor
who likes his publicity, doesn't,
however, being former news
paper man, like to be scOoped on
his own announcements.
To illustrate the agony that a
columnist has to go through, let
me tell you what happened sever
al weeks ago. | had the pleasure
of meeting a we'll known professor
OF the Johns Hopkins University.
We eventually got on the subject
OF this Mr.. Barlow who was eX-
perimenting with an explosive
down near Dundalk, Md, with a
lot of goats. This you recall
reading about in your daily papers
and if you recall further, the
whole thing turned out to be a
flop. Getting back to my point;
this explosive and it's possibilities
were thoroughly discussed with
the professor, and he said in no
uncertain terms that Mr.. Bar
lows idea was of no value, and
that the explosion would have no
effect on the goats. The profess
sor went on to say that anyone
with any knowledge of explosives
would or should know what would
happen. Your reporter on the
strength of this report, was going
to tell you what has now been
told to the world. But to be hon
est being a little afraid that the
experiment might turn out to be
one of great Importance, yet thor
oughly convinced by this profess
sor that it was going to be wash
out | refrained from mentioning
1t. Had | said 1t was going 10 De
a flop and it turned out to be
quite the contrary, | would have
felt awfully foolish.
Another example of the spot a
writer can get into appeared last
week when the Democratic Con
vention was held in Baltimore and
to which the delegates to the Ma
tional Convention were picker.
The convention was, as far as
many delegates were concerned, a
cut and dried affair. Many of the
delegates had the idea that there
would be round table discussions
of various resolutions and would
have a say in picking the dele

DUBLIN, April Is. CUP)-A pow
erful land mine was exploded at 5
a. m. today in the lower yard of
historic Dublin castle, in the heart
of the city The explosion was so
great that it seemed to shake the
city.
1t was believed that operatives of
the Irish Republican army trans
ferring their terrorist activities from
Eng. and Ulster to Ireland Proper,
had planted the mine last night.
The mine seemed TO have ex-
ploded in an alcoVe adjoining the
special detective branch of the gov

severely damaged, as were the Bir-

royal chapel, and ST. Patricks din

One policeman on duty was slight

German motorized units smashing
with lightning speed through de-
fenSe lines in the Oesterdalen Valley
was reported in frontier dispatches
today to have occupied the town
of Roeros, rs miles southeast of
Trondheim.
A German detachment of light
armored cars entered Roeros during
the night, according to a dispatch
from Oestersund to the newspaper
Allehanda.
The Nazi drive northWard up the
OeSterdalen Valley was port OF a
campaign to cut off the Allied ex-
peditionary forces in Norway from
all communication with south and
central Sweden and to join German
forces at Trondheim with those oc-
cupying the Oslo and other south
ern areas.
Many Norwegian refugees. includ-
ing several hundred soldiers and six
ambulances, were crossing into Swe-
den at Fjaellnes, just east of Roe
ros, the Allehanda dispatch said.
Frontier reports from the Trond-
helm sector were contradictory, but
it appeared that the British Nor
wegian forces we're fighting back
desperately against powerful Ger
man attacks north of Steinkjer.
The Germans took Steinkjer yes
terday. driving the Allied troops
back about six miles Ito the village
of MeirD where they had stronger
defense lines. The Allehanda dis
patch said that the Allied forces
had succeeded in repulsing repeat
ed German attacks in that sec
tor, but the newspaper Aftonbladet
said that the British and Norwegian
forces were in an extremely diff
cult" position.
In their advance yesterday the
Germans started out north of Ell
verum. They first crumpled up the
Allied left flank, held by Norwegian
troops between Elverum and Rena.
Then they took Rena. Continuing
the lightning advance, they made
the town of Aldval, a highway
junction where the Folldaler and

Most French military observers
believed that the danger of a Ger
man invasion of Sweden was in
creasing. The Swedish legation here
was quoted that there was no doubt
but that Sweden would resist. and
as an example of Sweden's deter
mination to do so, travellers ar
irving here reported that during
the early phase of the Norwegian
crisis when it was feared that Ger
man planes might try to fly over
Sweden to Norway Swedish au-
thoities commandeered automobiles

ports to cover runWays and pre-

Winter WOOlens Safer
When Packed Away Right

Moths, like humans, have specia
likes and dislikes. Knowing whai
these are may be the means of saw
ing hOmemakers lot of worry
says Miss Louise WhitcOmb, home
management specialist for the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice. Warm weather and dark places
are two needs for a moths happi-
ness. Tho diet which moths go in for
is made up Of wool, fur, hair, fea-
theirs and everything made from an
imal products. The less prOcessed,
that is the closer to the natural
state. are the materials, the better
moths like them.
"Deprivlng moths of their ideal
set-up,7 warns Miss Whitcomb, lis
not enough to guarantee that wool
ems will survive for another win
ter's wear Complete moth control
calls for some direct action. There
is no way to moth-prOof things once
and for all times. Moths are not
likely to attack clothes that are thor
oughly brushed every two weeks, or
rugs and carpets that are electric
yacuumed Items that can't be
squeezed into the dry cleaning and
laundry budget should at least get
a thorough cunning and brushing
out on the clothes line. Tight pack
ing should follow Immediately. Gum
med tape can seal the package or
box and make It moth tight For GER
tain safety. the package should in
clude some of a tested insecticide.
Remember, smells do not kill
moths or even discourage them. Kill
ing chemicals recommended for use
are naphthalene, paradiehloroben-
zene and gum camphor. One pound
Of any OF these chemicals spread In
folds OF tissue paper through the
layers Of clothing will protect a
trunk full OF clothes. Three or four
pounds sprinkIed on the shelves and
floor will protect a whole ciosetful
when the door Is sealed tight. Pro-
lection lasts only 50 long as the
crystals, flakes or balls are present
IN sufficient quantities, Kerosense-
pyrethrum sprays, sold at most
drug stores under trade names, are
effective for killing moths in any
stage OF their development provided
the spray actually comes in contact
