BId(kout Signal

Air raid or no air raid-there IL
one place In the Detroit metropoh-
tan defense area where the lights
will never be put out. While 3,00O,-
600 people were getting their first
taste OF blackout, lights were all
ablaze In the bomb-proof and gas
proof shelter located secretly
somewhere In Detroit"
Twelve telephone operators, di-
rected by Detroit Police Inspector
Edwin c. Denstaedt, went through
a rehearsal for the time when this
shelter may be the nerve center"
for civilian defense.
The telephone operators per-
formed as though the Axis planes
were overhead. except that certain
duties such as the dispatching Of
policemen and fire and medical
equipment as needed were omitted
this time.
In real raid, 26 operators would
be on duty, notifying some 260
strategic points Of an air raid. Then
they would wait for air raid war
den reports from all over the area.

Learn 10 Know
Types, Control
Of Inlendiaries

Incendiary bombs start fires.
The knowledge Of how TO recog-
nize and control them so that they
do a minimum of damage after
striking Is something that should
be learned now.
The incendiary bomb Is a cylin-
der two inches In diameter, rang
ing up to IA inches long. The
ones most commonly used weigh
~ pounds and will burn approx
mately IS minutes According 10
reports, about one In every 10
bombs dropped contains an expio-
sive mixture which makes il i'm
perative that you do not approach
too close for about one minute.
A bomb will sputter and throw
off particles OF burning metals
composed Of aluminium In fine
grains and an oxide of chemically
weaker metal, usually iron. Be-
cause this composition requires
no oxygen to burn. il cannot be
extinguished.
The common practice Is to spray
water around IL or to cover IL
with sand to control the flame. Be
very careful that q light spray Of
water Is used as a heavy stream
will cause an explosion. Most any
kind of fire extinguisher In COM
mon use Is effective, however: do
not use an extinguisher containing
carbon tetrachloride.

REMUNERATION
 IMPERILS AXIS WITHIN 2 YEARS

Mlnneapolls, Mlnn. (UP)--Dr. @eRle Harris, who investigated nu- tritlonai dOilclences og the Central Powers for the Paris Peace Con- ference in 1919, believes that malnu- triton wils help bring defeat Co Che Axis powers within two years.
 The current issue of the magazine Modern Medicine quotes pr. Harris As saying: Even 0 slight reduction ln the food now available to Japan and the other Axis nations will re- suit in Q rapid reduction of mo- fale. Within two years the morale of their soldiers is certainly to be broken"
 pr. Harris, . member of the Unl- versity of Alabama medical staff, says an allied blockade of Japanese costal waters would cut of their principal source of proteins--fish.
 ''The people of Japan subsist on 6 state of nutrition bordering on be- riberi and other deficiencies" he writes. "As the war progresses, it is questionable if even their n1eager diet can be maintained.
 FoOd Means Morale
 'aThe nutritional deficiencies among people of central Europe were moro pronounced before the outbreak of the present war than they were before the start of the first World War in 1914. The spread of deficiency diseases also is more rapid now"
 In the belief that Germany has stripped conquered countries of.milk COWS to provide beef for it's soldie- ". Dr. Harris pointed out that this meant further curtailment in milk and butter production-"already re- duced 7b per cent on the European continent"
 Ultimate victory" he said, twill come to the people with the best fed soldiers and those with the best morale--the United Nations"

 "Cancer is not hereditary" pr. L.arkin declared, ''nor is it due to germ. It Is not c contagious dis. ease. It occurs in both sexes and In all ages, it can a4ld does occur in children, most frequently in the bones and Kidneys"
 He declared that chronic or pro- longer irritation os tissues iB con. Bldered the most common fOFerun- ner of cancer, and that c single inc fury to soft tissue will not cause it. There arc several known methods Of curing cancer, he pointed cut, providing that the disease ig diss covered In itS early stages. Surgery, x-rays end radiur1 are tho known and approved methods Of curing cancer, but these generally are Of no value unless the disease is diss covered and treated before it has had . chance to become firmly efa- trenched.
 Dr. Larlein stressed the value and importance of educating the Amer ican public ct large, of getting to people in every walk Of life the message that early cancer is ciir- able. ''There is no better way than Supporting the April campaign og the WOfnens Field Army" he de- Clared.
