the time of the change at an ap- proximate cost of $7,0O0,000 to make the field the head station of the General Headquarters of the air force.
 The strategic position of Alas ka, as an outpost of the nation, means doubtless extraordinary eff forts also will be exerted to main tain the Alaskan base and var ious army fields in the Territory on a high plane of efficiency.
 The Air Corps field at Anchor age also to be improved as part of the national defense program in the Territory, has been desig mated 'Elmendorf Field" in honor of Capt. Hugh M. Elmendorf of the Air Corps, who was killed in an airplane accident in October 1885. His name likewise will be perpetuated by this new honor.
 Several other army fields, it is understood will be provided in time, as a part of the air defense program of the Territory. It will not be long now until squadrons of army planes will be familiar sights on these fields and over the Territory.
 The construction period may be the occasion for many seek ing work to come North, but it is well strangers not flock here looking for jobs. The local labor supply right now is far beyond the number of jobs. Hundreds are now registered in local em- ployment offices and there are many here who have not register ed, but who should register with each employment service, to pro- tect themselves.
 Alaska, and Fairbanks in part icular welcomes the new activ- ities and the new security the airbase program is bringing to the region, but it is the part of wisdom for all concerned to pro- ceed cautiously as concerns the hopes of getting employment on the works, in order that the new enterprise be not beset with con- fusion and a serious problem of adjusting the supply to conform to the demand.-Fairbanks News Miner.

A blood test for syphilis included as a routine measure in the periodic health examination is a valuable precaution to take. Early evi- dence of infection followed by adequate treatment offers the best hope of cure.

LADD FIELD-NEW
 FAIRBANKS LANDMARK

Officially designated by recent orders as "Ladd Field" the U s >Army's new Interior Alaska air base, now in process of construc- ton at Fairbanks is destined to be much in the limelight in the future, and to become vested with certain glamous and i'm portance that will make it na- tionally famous.
 Named in honor of the late Capt. Arthur K Ladd of the Air Corps who was killed in an acci- dent at Dale South Carolina, Dec ember 13, 1895, the field is sure to be conspicious and enduring monument to his memory.
 The site, already cleared over large area, stretching some 3 miles in all directions and on a perfectly level portion of the Tan ana Valley in the suburbs of the city is being linked up with the main terminal yards of the Alas lka Railroad by spur which will make easy the delivery of heavy supplies to the place at all times of the year.
 Material now being purchased in the States and assembled at San Francisco under direction of Major Edward M. George, U s Quartermaster for Alaska, will begin arriving along in March. Then will come the construction period, with exceptional activity for months. a.t
 The field will be not only place for accommodation of planes and personnel, but the United States first and most important base for testing planes and all kinds of army equipment under extreme cold weather conditions of this sub-Arctic region.
 In order to make the army and the personnel efficient for emerg ency and constant service in the Far North at all periods of the year, it will be necessary to main tain this base on a parity with that of all countries having arm ed forces in Arctic or sub-Arc- tic regions. This calls for no lax ity in vigilance and experimental tion, not only for the present but for time indefinite.
 This means that Ladd Field will doubtless be improved and equipped with an eye to per Ranency. So far as Alaska is con cerned this field may be likened as of relative importance in the Territory to Scott Field, the chief interior air station of continental United States, near Bellville, H. liniiS which was transformed in 1888 into the nerve center" and brain factory" of the army air corps service. The headquarters stac then was shifted from Lang Iey Field, Virginia, near the coast, to the mid-continent head quarters, farthest from possible enemy attacks.

 Disease
The Second Stage

The Second Stage
 The secondary manifestations of the disease are often character ized by skin eruption which may resemble the rash of meas les or chicken pox. This rash may or may not be accompan- jed by other disturbances such as mouth sores, fever, headache, sore throat, falling out of hair, feeling under the weather" The skin eruption are infectious if they are moist. Mouth sores, which in this stage may resem- bic canker sores or trench mouth are dangerously infectious. The patient may infect others thru kissing. The secondary manifest ations are also often so inconspic uous or mild as to escape no- tice or the recognition of their true character. They, like the chancre, will disappear after a time, even without treatment. The Latent Stage
 The disease now tends to pass into latent stage. During this stage there may be no symptoms for many years to indicate its presence to the patient or skin eruptions, mouth sores & other disturbances may come & go from time to time. But in this latent period the disease is undermin- ing vital structure and organs so that in a period of two to 20 or more. years the infected per- sen may become seriously crip- pied or completely destroyed.
 The Late Stage
 The more common late effects of syphilis are fatal affections of the heart and blood vessels, blind ness, deafness, and tumorlike groWths which may destroy any of the tissues or organs of the body. Among the most serious effects are the attacks of the dis ease upon the brain and spinal cord. These bring various forms of mental Arrangements, convul- sions, and paralysis, leading on to that almost hopeless condition, pareSis, or general paralysis of the insane; or, if the spinal cord is mainly involved, progressive1 loss of muscular control (loco- motor ataxia or tabeS dorsalis) and loss of other important mus cular functions. These later des- tructive changes of syphilis con- stitute the last stages of the dis ease.
 Syphilis Can Ge Cured
 The terrible results which have been noted come from neg lected syphilis. With early and adequate treatment none of the destructive consequences need develop and the disease can be arrested and often cured. But this cannot be achieved in a week or a month. The patient must be under the care of com petent physician for from eight cen months to two years, regard less of how well he feels or of negative laboratory tests, before he can be certain of his cure. He must receive continuous treat ment by his physician with cer- tain specific remedies. He must have b ood tests and perhaps spinal fluid tests at intervals in order to ascertain the state and the progress of the recovery. The physician will give him rules to follow at home to help with his cure and to prevent trans mission of the disease to other persons. The disappearance of

Syphilis is a disease that can

be conquered only when the facts about it are known to all people and when a knowledge of these facts is used to prevent it's spread. The reliable physician is the friend to whom one should go iniediately for assistance upon the first suspicion of having been exposed to danger.

symptoms does not mean that the germs which have penetrated the innermost parts of the body have been killed. The symptoms may recurr & in a more painful and 1 dangerous form. Only the pyhs- ician can tell when the cure has been effected.
 When after year or more of persistent treatment repeated ex aminations show satisfactory pro gress, the patient may hope that not only an arrest but a cure of the disease has been or will be accomplished. He may eventual ly be discharged as cured but he will require periodic examina- tions by his physician for several years to make sure.
 Summary of the Consequences
 Of Untreated Syphilis
 It is responsible for many child dren being born diseased, most of whom die in early life.
 It is the cause of many abor- tions, miscarriages and Stillbirths
 It is the cause of Is percent of all blindness.
 It is the cause of paresis or soft ening of the brain.
 It is the cause of locomotor at- axia.
 It is responsible for more than 10 percent of all insanity.
 It is often the cause of apopol ectic and paralytic strokes.
 It is responsible for a large proportion of diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
 It may affect the kidneys. sto- mach and other vital organs.
 It decreases earning capacity.
 It decreases the length of life.
 The Importance of Competent Medical Treatment for Syphilis
 Thousands of people have made tragic and neelleSs sacrif- ices of life and happiness to this disease. Too ofteu they seek treatment from the medical char latan who adverties sure cure, or they try self-medication. There is no quick, easy way to cure syph ilis. No individuals, except qual fled private physicians and ex- perienced members of hospital and clinic staffs, are competent to give the skilled treatment that is required to cure syphilis and other venereal diseases.
 Self-treatment and the use of medicines advertised as cure for syphilis are worse than use less. Syphilis can be cured only 1 by treatment with the arsphena- mines compounds of arsenic with other chemicals. These drugs which poison the syphilis germs in the blood without in- turing the patient are dangerous in the hands of anyone not train- ed in their preparation and use. l They must be freshly prepared and standardized by trained per sons and carefully administered by physicians. The quack does not know what the proper rem edies are. or how to give them. 1 While he is giving fake remedies 1 the disease is spreading uncheck 1 ed through the body of the in- fected person. The patient thinks he is being cured, but he is vast ing his money. losing his health, and risking his own life and the lives of his intimate associates. The Value of Health Examnation
 Every person should have a i competent physician look him over at least once a year. Only a physicion can properly diagnose his physical condition. A thoro examination will often bring to light evidence of serious diseas- es such as cancer, tuberculosis, !

Psychologist Discusses Effect of Meat on Energy

Is the jungle lion ferocious be-
cause it lives on raw meat? Would
it be more gentle if a vegetarian?
And are men who live principally
on a meat diet likely to be more
belligerent than those who prefer
vegetables?
The answers to those questions,
according to Martin F. Fritz, as
sociate professor of psychology at
Iowa State college, is yes and no.
Lack of meat in the diet may
cause an animal or human being
to live on a lower energy plane,
Fritz found, thus giving the ap-
pearance of a peaceful, mild dis
position.
According to that hypothesis, :"
he said, "a vegetarian diet simply
depresses the activity level while
a generous intake of meat may
bring out the full energy potenti-
alities.
eft might be argued that the
continued eating of high protein
foods, such as meat, might result
in permanently higher plane of
basal metabolism which would ac-
count for the energy and vigor of
meat-eating nations" he continued.
But Fritz apparently found a
hitch in this argument. For if
it were true, he said, the Eskimos
Coulee City dispatch. [volume] (Coulee City, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1940-02-29

could be expected to be especially
violent "for they eat a meat diet
and their basic metabolism is
about SO per cent higher than that
of people living in temperate zones"
The Eskimos, however, are the
most peaceful and unwarlike race
in the world, the professor de-
clared. Inheritance is an important
factor in the degree of activity, he
said. But, cit may be argued
that all races have inherited po-
tentially high level of activity-a
very questionable assumption-and
that the differences we observe are
due to the failure to utilize diet
which will bring out this activity to
it's fullest extent"
Fritz summarized by saying:
1T is quite possible that diet does
influence racial temperament, but
until further evidence is gathered
we may well be just a bit cautious
in drawing conclusions.

Why Scotland Yard

Scotland Yard got its name from
the fact that its site was once
occupied by a palace belonging to
the kings of Scotland. They used
their building as a home during
visits to London.
The Metropolitan Police took
over the site and the buildings of
Scotland Yard in the Nineteenth
century for use as headquarters
and thus the Yard gained it's pres
ent-day associations. A later
building, New Scotland Yard, to-
day houses an interesting crime
museum.
