GUARDING AGAINST DAMAGE

GUARDING AGAINST pAMAoE
Pittsburgh steel mills may be
cited as a good example OF success
full guarding against possible dam
age by saboteurs. This heart OF In
dustrial America-center OF steel,
aluminium, coal and arms produc-
tion-has not had single case OF
organized sabotage reported since
America became the arsenal OF
democracy.
Joseph q. Thornton. special agent
in charge of the Pittsburgh office,
attributes this lack of accidents" 20
the alertness Of industrial manage
ment and their cooperation with
the r. B. !.
We hear reports OF isolated In
cidents, such as fire or accidents
TO workmen or machinery which
might hamper the industrial output,
for a few hours. but these cases are
pretty generally the work OF dis
gruntled employees who feel per-
sonal animosity towards their fell
low employees or the management.
This word from a center so I'm
portant as Pittsburgh In national
war preparation speaks a good
word for the F. B. !. The facilities
of more than LAG industrial con-
Germs have been surveyed by spe-
cial agents OF the Pittsburgh Office
in the western Pennsylvania area
which includes Erie, Meadville.
Johnstown, Bradford, Altoona and
Pittsburgh.
The theory back Of this plant pro-
lection work is that private in
dustry can make II particularly
difficult to commit sabotage In its
plants and factories engaging In the
manufacture of war munitions
when the plants are properly guard
ed by the management. In the
Pittsburgh plants guards were
former workmen. all trusted indi-
viduals. Most OF them were select
ed from the ranks of men disabled
and no longer proficient at their
line of work. The F. B. /. recon-
mended that those guards be trans
ferred to clerical positions and
able bodied men placed on guard.
Surveys unearthed conditions
which could result in serious harm
to our defense effort. But they
were discovered before damage
was done and work now consists
principally Of guarding against sab
otage rather than fighting II.

more practical than Browning,
would like to approach the subject
from the standpoint Of hygiene
and consider the comparative
healthfulness Of life down on the
farm and up In the city.
There are lots Of people who
like to live down on the farm and
I personally am glad there are
because would be extremely I'M
happy on a real sure-enough oper-
ating farm.
One Of the arguments that Is
advanced in favor Of farm life is
that it is more healthful and to
certain extent the recent figures
compiled by DR.. James ]. Short Of
the New York Postgraduate Med
zeal School indicate that this might
be true.
Recent Figures
Tobacco: Fifty-seven per cent
Of rural people and 6S per cent Of
city dwellers use tobacco.
Alcohol: Forty-two per cent OF
rural and so per cent Of city
jewellers use alcohol.
In the case Of both tobacco and
alcohol, life in the city leads to
greater temptation.
Effects of high pressure living:
About 8 per cent Of rural Is con-
trasted with 7 per cent OF city
jewellers have a pulse rate Of 30 or
more. This might be interpreted
to mean the pressure Of life in the
city. Tremors are more than twice
as frequent in the city.
But 3h per cent Of rural and
only 2h per cent Of urban jewellers
have enlarged hearts.
Heart murmur occurred In 81
per cent Of rural people and an
per cent Of city jewellers.
Lung disease occurred in ~ per
cent in the country and 8 per cent
in the city. This. Of course. 70
mostly tuberculosis. There Ia b
surprisingly small difference.
Eight per cent rural and 9 per
cent urban need glasses.
Nearly 6 per cent rural and 8
per cent urban jewellers have in.
fected tonsils. This is probably
due to better access to medical
care in the city.
More germs seem 10 get into the
bodies of city jewellers as noted by
the rather undue rate Of enlarge
ment Of Emphatic nodes. Thyroid
engagements were practically
identical. High blood pressure Is
practically the same in both.
There is the same amount Of
hernia and hemorrhoids In both
groups.
Two conclusions might be drawn
from the figures. First: that the
pressure Of life in the city Is not
such that II would affect health
unduly and second that the med
ical conditions in the country are
sufficient to prevent conditions OF
gross neglect.

METAL EXPERT

The United States Civil Service Com
mission has announced that it will
again receive applications for positions
of metallurgist and metallurgical en-
gineer, various grades, with salaries
ranging from $500 to $4,000 a year.
Difficulty is being encountered in fill
ing positions in the Bureau of Mines
in connection with the National De-
Tense Program. Qualified persons are
urged to send their applications to the
Commissions Washington Office at
once where they will be rated as re-
ceived until December 81, 1941.
Applicants will not be given a written
test. They will be rated on their edu-
cational training and experience. A 4
year college course with major study in
chemistry, geology, mining, physics, en-
gineering, or metallTgy is required
plus responsible experience in metal
lurgy of metallurgical engineering. For
the associate grade, appropriate gradu-
ate study may be substituted for the
entire experience recruitment; for the
other grades, partial substitution may
be made.
Further information regarding the
examination and the proper applica-
ton forms may be obtained from
OWney Hegman, Ely civil service secre-
tary, at he post Office.

cure COLD
With REST

A time may come, according to the
Minnesota State Medical Associations
Committee on Public Health Educa-
ton, when an effective vaccination will
be available to stop periodic epidemics
of influenza.
Experiments are now being carried
on among certain special groups with
a vaccine which is known to prevent
flu in laboratory monkeys, according to
the doctors.
This vaccine is not ready for general
use, however, and, in the meantime,
members of the committee caution this
years flu victims, of whom there may
be good many before the end of the
year, to go to bed Immediately and
stay there warm and comfortable and
preferably on a liquid diet until the
acute stage is over This caution is
stressed in the third bulletin issued by
the committee his month in connection
with their campaign of education on
colds, 'flu," and pneumonia.
BED rest and good nursing care are
the two main factors in treatment" the
doctors say. "They can be supple
mented by sedatives and preparations
which will relieve headaches and body
pains But to ignore all symptoms and
attempt to stay on your feet with the
flu is to invite serious illness and also
to help spread the disease to everybody
you meet.
ssT111I ic most infectious DURING tho
stages of the first symptoms" they
point our further, land nothing is to
be gained by associates at work or
school or by the victim himself if he
tries to remain on his feet.
"The people who pride themselves on
sticking it out regardless of how they
feel are the ones who contribute the
greatest numbers to the death rolls
from the infectious diseases"
It is often difficult to differentiate
between cold and the 'du," according
to this bulletin, though fever and ex-
haustion, all out of proportion to other
symptoms and to the length of the
illness, is common characteristic. In
either case good care promptly given
will save time, money and lives, and
such care is important even when, as
this year, the prevailing type seems to
be mild. Even mild attacks of flu are
likely to give rise to severe secondary
infections and, furthermore, epidemicS
sometimes gather virulence as they
move along.

Study Shows Walleyed
Pike Great Travellers
Cover as Much as 100 Miles
in Two Months; Tags Give
Information.

Fish tagging studies indicating wall
eyed pike travel as much as 100 miles
in two months are reported in the
biennial report of the State game and
fish division by the bureau of research.
The report covers foud years tag
ging experiments through which the
department of conservation hopes to
gauge the number of wall-eyes taken
by angling, along with population sur
vivals, and the percentage returning
to spawning beds each spring.
During the past four years, the re-
port discloSes, the department has
marked thousands of pike by attach
ing tiny aluminium tags to their lower
jaws Tagging operations have conferred
principally at Lake Winnibigoshish
when pike are trapped for spawn re-
moval in the spring.
A total of 5000 pike were tagged at
this station in 1899 and a similar
number in 1910. At Lake Vermilion the
department tagged 700 in 1889 and
3 900 in 1910.
I'm the early spring, the wall-eyed
pike travelled upstream to headwater
lakes, where they remained until ap-
June 15," the report said.
After this date they travelled down.
stream into the large lakes, where they
spread completely over the lake. In
some cases they travelled down outlet
streams as far as possible. Several
records of individual fish travelling ap-
100 miles in two months
have been obtained in this study"
Returns from fishermen indicate that

population is taken by angling.
