Courage First Qualification.
Thus before man ever comes to
Carlisle Barracks he must have the
prime qualification of every SOL
dier-courage. When he leaves the
barracks he must be trained med
ical officer, who. in turn, can train
hundreds and thousands of officers
and enlisted men In the principles
of field medical work.
1t was for this purpose that the
Medical Field Service School was
established in 1920 on the same 160
acres of rolling Pennsylvania coun-
try that have been tread upon by
soldiers fighting in every war since
the American Revolution. Even be-
fore the revolution In 1858, the spot
where Carlisle Barracks now stands
was used as an Army post by the
British during the French and In
dian War.
Today under the commandant,
Brig. Gen. Addison Dinmitt Davis,
thousands of medical officers are
trained and graduated. Since the
emergency began in 1899 more than
5000 officers have graduated from
this historic post.
The demonstrations by the 32nd
Medical Battalion. permanently sta
toned at the post, are but part of
the training. The civilian doctor is
brought in and put through his
PAGES on the parade ground-Stark
Field-where the great Indian foot
ball star, Jim Thorpe, once played.
He attends classes all day long and
even at night in wartime. He studies
in some of the nine departments of
learning at the school. which is
directed by Col. Albert S. Dahney.
At the end Of this two months the
medical officer in training is a mill
tary man as well as a doctor.
In the schools department of field
medicine and surgery he learns the
latest medical treatments as they
can be applied at the front. New de-
velopments in this war besides
sulpha drugs include the use of
dried blood plasma, diluted for
TRANSMISSION, which though invented
in 1918 was not used until four or
five years ago.
Improved Field Kit.
The officer in training learns that
each soldier should carry in his
tiny first-aid pouch more than in
the last war. Now sulphanilimide
crystals and tablets which he can
apply to wound or take internally
are part Of his equipment.
A further development is the In
lection of three tetanus toxoid shots
in place of the old method of In
jecting serum. A wounded soldier
gets booster" dose of tetanus tox-
old and is marked with a EFT" on
his bandaged forehead to warn
medical officers at the next sta
tion that he has had It. The closed
method of treating wounds by which
the wound is left undisturbed after
once bandaged is taught So are
new methods for individual protec-
ton against chemical warfare and
methods of se1f-injection of small
morphine doses.

An ambulance pulls into collect

AS the ambulance pulls into the
station a medical soldier walks in

up at the collecting station at night,
so that treatment can be given in

10 Commandments Given
Visitors 10 Servicemen

| A list of 10 rules for visitors to
servicemen at posts has just been
released by the National Travellers
Aid Associations president, Randall
j. LIE Boeuf, jr.
Surprise visits are barred since
they lead to nothing but bitter and
expensive disappointments," accord
ing to Mr.. LIE Boeuf. Well-meaning
relatives and friends who plan to
take servicemen by surprise and just
drop in on them, only too often find
that the men have been granted
leave and have left the post for
many hours.
Experience in 989 units of the USO
prompted the USO Travellers Aid
Service to issue 40 commandments
for visiting servicemen. Included in
the advice in addition to the warn
ing that servicemen should always
be notified in advance by registered
mail of the planned visit are the
following tips: Plans for housing,
transportation and time of arrival
should be understood by visitor and
serviceman before the start of the
journey; leave the baby at home;
have sufficient funds for stay and
return and possible delay; don't talk
about your visit or discuss the loca-
ton or movements of your friends in
service: go to your local Travellers
Aid and have the attendant assist
in making your plans.
Mr.. LIE Boeuf said that the USO
Travellers Aid service is available to
the relatives and friends of any serv-
iceman.

It is pointed out that the two
thoroughfares, Piney Branch road
and Dahlia street. skirt the grounds
and present danger hazard to the
several hundred pupils attending
the school. Resurfacing of the
playground and other improvements
are to be sought at the hearing.
Walter Trey, vice president, and
David T. Blose, ST., of the Execu-
tive Committee, who will represent
the association, also will ask inclu-
sion Of an item In the budget for
renovation of the basement of the
Takoma Park Branch of the Public
Library. The library was con-
structed in 1911. being the first
branch library to be erected in the
District.
With this improvement the base
ment can be rearranged to provide
for a children's reading room. 1t
is suggested that this would provide
a substantial enlargement of facili-
ties on the main floor of the library
for persons of high school and
college age and other adults. Lii
brary officials find that many of
the older group are endeavoring to
improve themselves by the study
of technical and vocational books
with a view to engaging in war
work. An increase in the book
fund Of the Washington Public Lii
brary for books of this class will be
discussed at the hearing.
Another community improvement
to be urged will be added lighting
facilities around the Calvin Coolidge
High School, at Fifth and Tucker
