pital staff room the other day. A
surgeon with a large industrial
practice cleared the matter up by
asking if all their patients had
not had something to do with ham
ding or manufacturing khaki
cloth.
Following the lead, I have Just
had an authoritative explanation
which is as follows:
The dyes which are used for
coloring heavy fabrics such as
tenting and tarpaulins, khaki or
tan. are mineral salts Of chro-
.ntfan- and-iron. They are-pef-
fectly harmless. but when fresh
may cause some irritation in sem
sitive individuals. For garment
fabrics, khaki and olive drab dyes
are sulphur brown dyes q which
many varieties are known.
None Of these dyes themselves
are known to cause any irritation,
but mistakes or carelessness in the
manufacturing process may cause
some such condition to arise. For
instance, failure to use certain
chemicals properly in the dying
process may result in u%nprecipi-
tated sulphur brown dust, and
these dusts may be irritating to
the nose and throat.
Most Of the patients who have
been affected in this way are girls
and cutters who handle the ma
terial in manufacturing plants.
One would think that any sensi-
tiveness to the dye acquired in
this way would appear as a skin
rash or dermatitis. But such has
aot been reported. 1t must be as
sumed, then, that the irritating
material appears as dust, since it
must enter the respiratory tract
in that form in order to cause sore
throat.
Cotton dust itself has been re-
ported to cause irritation to the
respiratory tract.
Of course since all workers are
not affected, the explanation of
special Representatives, or al
leroy is plausible. In that case an
allergen in the form of the dye,
catechu, which is derived from
acacia catechu, an Indian wood,
must be implicated as the most
likely offender. 1t is sometimes
employed in this line of manu-
featuring.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Anonymous:-"My husband is
q house painter. Whenever he
painted or vanished a floor he
used to wear a pair of "sneaks,"
changing to his regular shoes
after the job was over. Now he
wears the carpet sneakers all the
time, winter and summer. Every
one says he will get fiat feet, or
injure his feet permanently. He
never complains Of fiat feet"
Answer: 1t is the policy of this
column never to interfere in do
nestle debates, but l will make
some general remarks. If your
husband is getting fiat feet, he
will probably know it. In fact, the
sneakers will probably strengthen
his feet, as moccasins did the In
dams feet. After a certain period
in life it is healthier to let a man
his W way; he probably
will have it anyhow.

 The former Premier, in the most outspoken utterance in many months, warned the Government against exaggerating speed or amounts from the United States in war material and declared the American war organization is tra- ditionally full of disappointments' and he also demanded real war Cabinet to lend all kinds of blum ders and that would weaken aid from the United States"

EMpASSI0NED APPEAL
 GIVEN IN BR0ADCAST Declares Defense of Our
Freedom Is Now Great est Issue al Stake

WASHINGTON, May 7.--Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson, after consultation with President Roose- welt. last night in nation wide broadcast urged immediate use of the American Navy to guarantee safe delivery of war goods to the British.
 Secretary Stimson said Germany's lawless activities in the Atlantic were imperillling England's life line and if the power of the British Navy is lost, the American Navy will be- come secondary.
 The War Secretary declared that American security is dependent upon Great Britain winning the war.
 After providing billions of dollars worth of munitions to carry on de- fense of our freedom, while we hold in our hands an instrument ready and able to make all of these steps effective, shall we now finch and permit these munitions to be sunK in the Atlantic?" questioned the Secretary of War.
 "Our entire history shows no precedent to make such a supposi- ton credible" continued Secretary Stimson.' and neither the Govern ment nor the people of the United States have ever given occasion to make anyone believe such an act of responsibility and indecision will be possible. If we should allow the present strategic moment to pass and wait until the power of the British Navy is gone, then our power will be gone"
 The speech is one of the strongest statements for use of the United States Navy yet made by member of Roosevelt's official family.

Nazi daylight raiders jabbed anew at Great Britain today and British spitfires and German Messer- schmitts fought spectacular battle over the English channel after a night of aerial fury in which Hit ler's luftwaffe again pounded Brit ish shipyards and ports where war supplies from the United States are arriving.

 Last night, in reply to the attack of the Nazi raiders, Royal Air Force bombers escorted fighter planes as both reared across the Dover Strait to the German occupied French coast.
 It is admitted by the British Air Ministry that Nazi planes smashed over night at the Clydeside ship yards, that Glasgow and Liverpool were also attacked. Northern Ire land was also bombed for the third night in succession.

Freight
.LOadings
Mark Seen

NEW YORK, June 1s.-Railroad
freight traffic is expected to reach
a weekly peak of around $4,000
loaded cars in the Fall OF this
year. This would be the highest for
any week since the period ended
Oct. 26. 1910. In the latter year
there were several weeks in which
loadings exceeded the 900, 000-car
mark.
The estimated peak is based on
a traffic study by the Association
of American Railroads, and repre-
sents an upward revision from ex-
pectations of a month ago.
The peak week in 1912 is fore
cast at slightly more than 1000
600 cars-the first time since the
Fall of 1929 that loadings attained
such high levels.
For the full year of 1941. load
ings are estimated AZ 40.S99.0
cars, an increase of 1914 per cent
over the 1910 total, and for 1912,
loadings are placed at 1880. 900
cars, which would be an increase
of 60 per cent over the estimated
1871 aggregate. In the first %
weeks of this year, loadingS
showed a gain of 1913 per cent
over the corresponding 1910 period.
and in the week ended June Z,
losdings were 2l.3 per cent larger
than the like week last year.
II all intercoastal traffic is di-
verted TO the railroads, the car
riers would have 10 haul 100000
additional cars annually. This
would require 1880 freight cars
in continuous service, and if all the
Panama Canal traffic possible was
diverted 10 the rails, ii would re-
quire $4,000 freight cars in con-
tlnuOus service
