Former Internes of
Freedmen's Hear Talk
By Dr.. Perrin H. lono

Fluid therapy, the anemias and
chronic alcoholism were to be dis
cussed today by speakers at con-
cluding sessions of the 21st annual
convention of the Association of
Former Internes of Freedmel's Hos

DR.. Charles r. Drew, assistant
in surgery at Freedmen's, and DR..
Paul F. Dickens. clinical professor
of medicine at George Washington

speak at the morning session.

teachers and members of the legal
profession.
DIR. Long Speaks.
Sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine and
sulfathiazole have proven valuable
tools of medical magic, but why
they do what they do remains
mystery, for the most part, DR..
Perrin H. Long, associate professor
OF medicine in the Johns Hopkins
University school of medicine, said
at the afternoon session yesterday.
Giving striking illustration to the
rapid changes in thought on these
relatively new instrumentalities of
treatment, DR.. Long, who has con-
Quoted extensive research in the
field, brought up to date" a chart
indicating comparative effectiveness
OF the three drugs in various all
ments which, he said, had been
prepared only month ago.
Recent tests indicate sulfathiazole
can be regarded as equal to sui
fanilamide in treating pneumonia,
he told the group.
Not Effective for Colds.
None of the three drugs is of any
aid in treating the common cold,
Dr. Long declared.
He emphasized that in their use
care must be taken to keep the
blood level index as near constant
as possible if full effectiveness is
expected. Sulfapyridine, for ex-
ample, must be administered every
four hours to maintain the same
body concentration, he said.

 It is a safe bet that England and France already are putting the bee on Administration officials to shake down the restrictions on credit. That is, assuming that their course in this war is run ming parallel to their course in the last one. These things are not done boldly or bluntly but both sides understand what is afoot.
 It was more than a year before the walls broke down last time, although there were minor crum- blings within a few months.

Today is National Social Hygiene Day-and what does that mean?
 It means that tocay added millions of people will by various media of publicity be made aware of the pers of syphilis and gonorrhea the most prevalent of serious infectious diseases that some If these people will take warning and some others action; and that more progress in the reduction of these misery making maades, costly to both public and private purse, will be recorded
 The American Social Hygiene Association and it's National Anti-Syphilis Committee tell that one in 20 adults has syphilis. This figure was ob- tained through 200 different group tests upon A. O0O0O0 persons. In groups the incidence was quite low in others aarmingly high. But the hap pier note is that syphilis in large percentage of cases yields to medical science and that it be rendered non-infectious to others
 Soundly the American Social Hygiene Assoca- tion and it's sponsors are primarily interested in prevention of venereal disease. This is accom- plished through education of young people, parents, and expectant parents, with the work paid for by private contributions of voluntary nature. The Association wants children be born free of syphilis and many States now have made that easier through legislation. It wants youngsters taught that sex is normal thing-a part of life the abuse of which too frequently brings sad physical mental and eco- homie consequences. It wants law enforcement and adequate recreation to lessen certain temptations which are known to breed disease
 But the Association knows that with all the preventive measures, many unfortunates- mostly youths-contract syphilis nevertheless and that this disease and gonorrhea spread like wdfre. For this situation the procedure is straight-line: discover treat regularly and find the of the infection to prevent further infection.
 There is fine working alliance between Fed eral Territorial and local health officials and the American Social Hygiene Association which organiza tion naugurated National Social Hygiene Day in 1897. Surgeon General Parran says:
 Action by governments is not sufficient to deal with problems such this which affect the whole people Increasingly there is needed a strong tional voluntary agency through which citizen inter- est make itself felt. We fortunate in having such agency in the American Social Hygiene As sociaton and it's National Anti-Syphilis Committee" ,"
 Every citizen who read can learn more about the prevention of syphilis. The Territorial Department Of Health has information and advisory service for young people, for expectant mothers and for parents It will guide interested clubs and groups of all kinds, providing literature and educational motion pictures The Department does not treat infected persons. That is for the medical profes-

THIS WAR IS COSTLY

Resources of England and France are not greatly different this time. Now, as before, they are having to pay cash for what they buy over here. Already Sir John Simon, British Chancellor of the Excheq- uer, has said this is going to be the most expensive war England has known. He didn't exclude the last war.
 Currently the Senate is agitated over whether it can make a loan to Finland without seeming to. Already the Export-Import bank has made a $1O,000,000 loan to a Finnish corporation. By narrow margin it perhaps escapes being loan directly to the Finnish gov- ernment. Also it has strings tied to it which prohibit its use for buying arms and implements of war. President Roosevelt, in a let ter to the Congress, disclosed he was going little farther in that direction without congressional sanction, which he asked.
 Technically the loans are pro- posed on the assumption that they are to promote export of excess Yankee groceries and manufac- lures, but the Senate went off cially on record as recognizing that bigger fish than that we-as in the pond. The letter and the vari- ous bills concerned with Finnish loans were sent to the banking and currency committee That is in compliance with the technical front. But, by agreement. they will go thereafter to the foreign rtla- tions committee where only one question will be at issue: :,legF Do we, or don't we?"

U.S.. Supplies Britain Only 1900
Planes During Year but Officials
Declare Delivery Will be Speeded

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. CUP)-
The United States supplied Great
Britain with about 1,500 planes
this year, although the Royal Air
Force probably received $50 more
cut of the 500 exported to Canada,
officials said today.
They conceded that the number
was smaller than had been antici-
pated. but predicted that the early
months Of the new year would
show marked acceleration in deliv-
cries.
They based their estimate of 1910
deliveries on commerce depart
ment statistics showing that in the
first IL months of this year 1,I46
planes-all believed to be military
craft-were exported to the United
Kingdom.
Although the commerce depart
ment has not yet announced eX-
ports to the United Kingdom in
November, the United Press learned
the figure was 1873 aircraft of all
types-bombers, fighters and train
ers, both assembled and unassembl-
ed. This was the second highest
month up to Dec. l, the previous
high being 278 in August.
Canada received 48 planes in
November, most of which were I'M
derStood to be combat craft. In
previous months, the preponder-
