Describes Tanks

Nevertheless, two Of these types
can be described briefly. One is a
25-ton machine so heavily armored
that II is proof against any known
anti-tank guns. In addition, it is
armed with a fast-firing. amor
piercing two pounder and a new
Besa machine gun which fires
nearly 1000 rounds a minute.
The other is a cruiser tank. less
heavily armored, which depends
upon high speed for protection
against antitank fire.
II you are looking for a thrill,
come with me on wild. cross
country ride IN one Of these roar
ing monsters. We grab hold Of the
steel snout Of the two-pounder and
climb into the turret high atop the
tank, then squeeze down through
a round steel hole.
Move an inch in any direction
and gadgets dig into your ribs or
crack your head.

material in first one cabin and then another-and trying furni- ture here and there. Everything is worked out on paper.
 Their basic idea in the begin- ning-an i6ea they have carried out - was to have everything American in effect, and to have the ship seem gay and light. We had to. remember" Miss Marck- wald told me, that a ship goes places and does things. It must not appear stuffy or over-dec- orated in any way"

 FEMININE NEEDS
 This feminine firm feels that wo- men have little edge on men in the decorating business, They think women are more conscious of hav- ing things comfortable and con- venient.
 Passengers on the America will recognize the woman's touch- when they find how much drawer space each cabin affords. The Misses Smyth, Urquhart, and Marckwald have occupied cabins where there wasn't enough space for feminine belongings.

 Ships are femlnine-and so is the firm of interior decorators, Smyth, Urquhart and Marckwald who have the job of furnishing the America largest liner ever built in. this country.
 It shouldn't be odd to find wo- men taking over the interior dec- orating of a ship. But 1t is. So far as they know, the Misses 0myth, Urquhart, and Marckwald are the only women anywhere who have such job.

DOCTORS WORSE THAN
 LAYMEN

Numerous correspondents have asked recently why relatives and acquaintances have such free access to the sickroom of patients with pneumonia If, as the public is in- formed by health authorities, pneu- monia is communicable.
 Well may they wonder, for 1t is obvious that the medical profession including private practitioners, hos pital staff members and physicians with administrative jobs in health departments, while preaching or acquiescing in the preaching of the communicability of pneumonia and other diseases classified as respira- tory infections, still practice on the principle that guided doctors a hun- dred years ago. There are outstand- ing exceptions, but the great ma- jority of physicians today betray much of the same contempt for the isolation of the pneumonia patient and such routine precautions as the wearing of masks and the washing of hands after necessary contact as certain specimens still extant feel in respect to aseptic technique in surgery.
 In medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynecology, dentistry, proctology, or urology, scrupulous cleanliness (aseptic technique) on the part of doctor, nurse. assistant, is enforced by public opinion today. Breaches of tho Fundamental rule of clean- liness are observed by the intelii- gent patient even if the attendant guilty of the breach thinks. in his or her ignorance, that the mere lay man will not know the difference Not a few specialists who probably think they arc some pumpkins would have pretty rcd faces if they could read passages from letters their patients have written me criticizing fragrant breaches of aseptic technique. Incidentally, prac- titioncrs who arc careless about this should at any rate acknowledge that asepsis is now the accepted principle in every branch of medi- cine and surgery, and hence testi- mony of glaring breaches may prove damaging. Indeed, medical defense insurance companies regard practi- tioners who are notoriously careless about asepsis as poor risks.
 Either the doctors and the public health people are guilty of chatter- ing about the various types of pneu- nonia germs and the use Of serum corresponding with the type Of germ present just to impress the public, or they are singularly callous in re-

Gloriying Yourself
NEA Service Staff Writer
By Alicia Hart

The first thing the college grad. uate should do after she re- ceiyes her diploma IS to make ur her mind to enroll as a life mem- Der in another school -- the "up- and-at. 'em" school. It's owned co. operatively by the do-erS Of the world. And anyone who does mt join 1t isn't going to get very far after graduation - In any di- rectlon.
 LITTLE COMES
 TO HER WHO WAITS
 Slender, red headed, blue-eyed Joan Crawford told me that today.
 No smart young graduate IS going to tuck her diploma under her arm and then sit around and wait for something nice to hap pen to her. Miss Crawford went on.
 whether its marriage or @ ca reer, or c combination of the two that she wants, she ought to draw up Q reasonable five-year-plan for herself. The plan will include suggestions for getting what she wants and ways and means to hold on to t afterward.
 "The plan may have to be changed--the chances are that 1t will be changed radically and often. But that shouldn't deter her from making 1t. I never heard Of anyone getting anywhere with anything unless she went about 1t in business-lIke fashion" YOU DON'T NEED
 TO BE JITTERY
 Miss Crawford doesn't think that being q member Of the "up.and -at. lem" school means that you arc a jitterbug, dashing mad ly and nervouSly hither and thither. She means that you Sim- ply get things done, and refuse to allow yourself to go to seed, mem tally, socially or physically,

And don't consider membership in 6 bridge club an interest"
