New York. June 26.-(AP)-The

for a%lrCraltS and selected industrials
served as a prop for stock generally.
The list edged forward at the start.

which may be of decided benefit in
conditioning aviators to high alti-
tudeS. OF course, a great many
devices have already been tested
out which have helped aviators to
endure high attitudes for a long
time; but the whole problem has
not by any means been solved for
100 per cent of avlators.
One of the factors in the situa-
ton seems to be that if the adrenal
glands can be kept active, the en-
durance of avlators "a high alti-
tudes will be considerably in
creased. Animal experiments have
shown that the adrenal glands can
be stimulated and by using this
ktimulant animals a be kept in
a raretied atmosphere for a much
longer time than has been believed
possible.
Military Secrets
am not at liberty to divulge the
method used, which comes under
the heading of a military secret,
but the man to whom | spoke is a
conservative research worker and
seemed to feel that this was one
of the great steps in aviation IN
this field.
Another field of medical char
acter in which advances are being
made is on the different types Of
goggles and spectacles used by the
armed forces IN various forms of
combat. This also is a military
secret but is sufficiently important
that high officials regard it as one
of the great improvements in
Army equipment of the last few
months.
Another wal item has to do with
the serious shortage of surgical
gauze, bandages and other first
aid materials. DR.. George Baehr,
Chief Of the Office of Civilian De-
Tense Medical Division, says This
unlimited purchasing of tirst-aid
materials is based upon a wrong
conception of air raid casualties.
These casualties are usually of
such severity that only trained
emergency medical field units are
competent to attend the injured at
the site of an accident England's
experience revealed that bomb cas-
ualties were relatively few in pro-
portion to the amount of property
damage, but a large percentage of
