Last night, the sky was alight with
burning towns. The town we stop

heavy bombs and anti-aircraft fire
The effects of the bombing were
brought close when we passed
through a village which Is minutes
later was bombed by eight Heinkels.
1ncendiary bombs turned the
placid main street into a roaring
bonfire when we returned. Refugees
huddled in doorways or lying under
ponderous farm carts had been
wounded or killed.
Troops turned from their own
tasks to the rescue of the wounded
and the extinguishing Of fires. An

Immunization Offered
Against Spotted Fever

The District Health Department
will offer to the public this year
for the first time immunization
against the danger of Rocky Noun
tain spotted fever, which has taken
a relatively high toll of deaths each
year since it has invaded this area.
The immunization to be offered
the public has been made possible,
it was explained, through supplies
Of vaccine from the United States
Public Health Service.
The immuniZation, which lasts
about one year, is provided by q
hypodermic injection. officials ex-
planned, and is effective in helping
to prevent the disease. But so far
no definite cure has been devised
for patients who have once con-
tracted it,
The season for this spotted fever
has arrived, officials said, with the
beginning of the tick season. Per-
sons should be careful to remove
wood ticks as soon as possible after
returning from wooded areas. and
should be careful not to get the
blood from the tick in any wound
on the body. The dangerous virus
in the wood tick which causes spot
ted fever comes only when the tick
regurgitates its blood.
The death record for this fever
shows that in the District of Co.
lumbia in 1886 there were two deaths
out of eight cases, in 1887 there were
four deaths out of seven cases: in
1898 five deaths out of Is cases
and in 1889 four deaths out of IL
cases.
Officials of the Health Depart
ment recommend that persons de-
string the immunization should get
in touch with their own private
physician or DR.. j. G. Cumming,
chief of the division Of commune
cable diseases Of the Health Depart
ment.
