State Medical SOciety's Advance Warning Little
 Late Locally

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 16-With the season of sneezeS and Sni1les close at hand, ofacials of the Con- necticut State Medical Society to- day advised parents to guard against employing the wrong treatment for children apparently i'll with colds"
 "There Is hardly practicing phy. sician in the state who has not eTl. countered some grave illness which had been treated as cold for days or even weeks" said @ spokesman for the Society in commenting on the necessity of educating parents in what not to do for this common ail- ment.
 valuable time wasted on home remedies frequently robs the young Ster of his best chances for early recovery. Poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis), pneumonia, meningitis and many other important diseases start with symptoms of a Cold"
 A three-point program of safe, economical measures Is advocated by physicians in the Society, as follows 1. The patient should be isolated from others; 2. He should rest in bed if there IS any suspicion Of fever; and 3. The family physician should be notified immediately.
 Certain seasons of the year you are characterized by Q prevalence of certain diseases and the eXper- fenced physicians usually has a fair idea of what is going around in the locality ct c particular time," the Society stated. "At any rate he will be able to tell parents what to do when he sees child who is H."
 The following Don't were listed by the State Society.
 1. Don't give cathartic without the advice of Q doctor. No amount of bowel purging will drive an infection out of the upper respiratory tract. Under no circumstances give 8 cath artic, on your own initiative, to e child with abdominal pain.
 2. Don't rub the chest of Q child with medicated greaSes. They only add to discomfort.
 3. Don't attempt to alkalize- your child does not have acidosis. If he Is in that imminent physiologic state, he will need more technical treatment than you yourself can supply.
 {. Don't let the child talk you out of his remaining in bed while he has fever.
 5. Don't overlook the contagious nature of the common cold.

 Doctor Pharris points out that al. though the average industrial plant is much quieter today than former ly, the potentialities of noise abate- ment in industry have not been fully realized. Further progress to elim- mate or muffle noise can be made by improving design and operation of equipment, and by insulating or isolating noisy and vihratory oper- ationS.

The cooperation of industry and labor toward further reduction of noisy working environments is need- cd to transform unnecessary eco- homie loss from this cause Into galnful employment Crit Pharris, M. D. of the Bureau Of Industrial Hygiene says in an article published in the monthly bulletin of the State Department of Health. Noise nd- versely affects hearin, lowers the general physical and mental fitness of workers and consequently their capacity to produce, National at- tention Is being drawn to the con- Seryatlon Of hearing the week ot october 10.
 Studies made on the effects Of noise upon workers employed for ex- tended periods in certain of the more noisy industries show that upward to 90 per cent of coppersmiths Gad 0l per cent of boiler makers suf- fered definite loss of hearing, Doc. tor Pharrls reports. Other data in- dieate that much less marked noises influence the proficiency of work. CTS. Reduction of the noise level by i4.5 pr cent in 6 large office raised efficiency 8,8 per cent and reduced errors byb typists and machine op- orators by 20 per cent and 50 per cent respectively; employe turnover dropped 47 per cent and absenteeisrn 37.5 per cent.
 Noise Is sound which unmusical, dIscordant, confused, irksome, or disturbing, occurring in more or less rapid succession periodically or intermlttently, and regular or irreg- ular in intensity, explains Doctor PharrIS. Tho effects of noise are governed primarily by intensity, pitch and tone while the general mental and physiological make-up of the worker largely influences the extent to which pathologic fatigue, vascular disorders and diverse emo-

German morale which is fast begin- ming to break, have also done their logic no good.
 For the logic of the matter is, RAF raids, like those of the Luft- wafSe, will not win any war unless in conjunction with land and naval forces. Proof Is the battering which England received from Q numerical iy superior German air force sta- toned but some 30 miles from Lon- don during the winter of 1940-4l.

western docks and the important in- dustries of England still remained intact and the morale good.
 The RAF has admittedly done great damage to the invasion ports round them. But because they do not have enough Flying Fortresses and British four engine bombers, they cannot penetrate into inner Germany in sufficient numbers to do a job of mass destruction.
 A large raid on Berlin two nights in e row just about represents an about effort, because only these four-engine bombers can carry enough bombs to make the trip worthwhile,

BRITISH PIN HOPES ON U. S. ENTRY

As for the bomb damage, although great in some sections of France and Germany, it in no way approaches what has been done to England and German production is being main- tained.
 What London's authoritative cir. cles tacitly admit they seek most, of course, is an American declara- tion of war followed by an Ameri- can Expeditionary Force. They be- lieve nothing would boost American production and lower German morale more than an all-out war by the U. s.
 And that Is actually their hope for wining the war if Russia loses, though no one here oflcially admits that yet.

MILITARY WEAKNESS STYMIES BRITAINS HOPE OF CREATING NEW WESTERN FRONT

During the winter of 1o40-1l, when the RAF was striking at Ser lin, 1t was being done with the two- engine planes that could remain over the target area no longer than 20 seconds, so close was the ratio of gasoline to bomb load.
 RESERVOIR OF PILOTS NOT INEXHAUSTTBLE
 During recent months, however, RAT activity has been as ofilcial communiqueS state, Ion an ever in- creasing scale." Unfortunately, the supply of Flying Fortresses from the U. s. has been small and not sufh- cient to overcome the big plane losses which the Royal Air Force has suffered over France and Germany.
 And the reservoir of competent bomber pilots is Ifot inexhaustible, either in England or in Germany. Many pilots I knew personally one year ago are now dead. No total figures of men killed in air action have ever been released.
 As for the total effect of RAF' raids to date on Germany, the re- ports heard in Lisbon recently from several competent neutral ob- servers are disquieting. Berllners, they said, are now taking air raids in stride.
 Evidently, like those Londoners who showed signs of panic during the early September and October raids 'of 1940, many Berliners too gave evidence last spring of unrest as British planes continued to break through the Berlin anti-aircraft barrage. Now, however, they are settling down.

two American destroyers outside the
harbor Of Fort de France, a French
passenger steamer master declared
today.
Capt Jacques Fremont, master of
the Saint Dominique, which arrived
today from the southern island, said
the destroyers had replaced British
warcraft which previously patrolled
the narbor entrance
Two months ago, it was reported
from San Juan, Puerto Rico. that
American neutrality patrol warships
had taken over the watch on the
island from the British West IN
dies squadron.
Why do you have to have de-
stroyers there?" asked Capt Fro
mont, a World War veteran who
was decorated by Marshal Fs,ain,
now Chief of State of unoccupied
France
1T would be better not to have
them there" he continued, at least
not in view of the people"
He added that the two warships
were stationed about 6 miles off
shore during the day, but, according
70 islanders reports, came right up
to the harbor entrance at night"
When neWSmen explained that
sune quarters had expressed concern
over the possibility of German con-
troll of the island, Capt. Fremont
replied, "Ah, the Germans-bah!"
Aboard the Saint Dominique were
35 demobilized French soldiers, most
of whom had been residents of the
United States when they were called
to the colors. Nine other passengers
we're French civilians and one was
an American.
All had reached New York by va
ried routes from France to North

ANNAPOLIS, jan 10-The Legis-
lative Councils proposal to reduce
legislative expenses by $3.50 was
placed before the General Assembly
for final action today.
If the plan is adopted, legislators
then are to decide whether the re-
duction should apply to the present
session or whether it should take
effect at the next session in 1943.
Both Senate President Arthur
Brice, Democrat, of Kent County
and House Speaker Thomas E. Con-
lon, Democrat, of Baltimore favor
reducing salaries of legislative clerks,
cutting the number of doorkeepers
and eliminating some clerical posi-
tions.
The House would receive S4880 less
for its workers and the Senate's eX-
penses would be reduced by $3.50,
under the councils proposal.
Legislative leaders predicted the
councils recommendation would be
adopted by the House but that it
might meet opposition in the Senate.
