CHILDREN BITTEN
BY MAD DOGS

Report comes from Elkton that
ten persons in that town and vicinity
had been bitten by two dogs that had

fering from rabies.
State Veterinarian DR.. M. Welsh,
visited Elkton and decided to estab-
fish quarantine of dogs for three
months in the area which is describ-
ed as follows:
Beginning north from the mouth
Of the Principle Creek, to the Penn
sylvania line; east along the Penn
sylvania line to the Delaware line;
along the Delaware line to the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal;
and, along Back creek and the Elk
river to the starting point. All indi-
viduals of this area are requested to
keep their dogs confined and if they
become i'll or otherwise act in a Pc
culiar manner to report the fact to
the Sheriff's office, at Elkton
Mr.. H. E. Mcbride, Superinten
dent of Schools, has addressed let
ter to the teachers in the county.
For years some schools in the
county have had one or more pet or
stray dogs in or around the school
most of the time, which dogs usually
belong to some of the children. Re-
Gently, as you no doubt have heard,
several children have been bitten by
dogs, which, after being killed and
examined, have been pronounced
mad. Due to these happenings, it
seems necessary to say that no dogs
are to be allowed in or around any
school at any time. Please cooperate
to the fullest extent in this matter,
because it can easily become very
serious

arated from the whole blood and

Grafton. Unlike whole blood, it
cannot be jolted into deteriora-

Army and Navy doctors have
won their most spectacular vic
tories over death with members
of the still-mysterious sulfa fam
lily (Which now numbers over
1000 derivatives). busted into
burns or wounds, sulfa powders
have proven - from Libya to
Bataan - that they are life-sav-
ers, literally, through the pre-
vention of infection.
British army doctors have es-
timated that soldiers with alb
dominal wounds have a 80 per
cent chance of recovery when
braced with plasma, protected
from infection with sulfa. Their
chances of recovery in the last
world war was less than 40 per
cent.
The third new strategy which
medicine has produced in its
blitzkrieg on death is the devel-
opment of a tetanus toxoid to
replace anti-toXin. This toxoid
provides year Of near-immun-
ity to this dread infection. Proof
of its effectiveness is that, pro-
tected by it, the British troops
got out of Dunkirk with prac-
tically no tetanus. In similar cir
cumstances during past wars,
the mortality would have been
terrific. The same comparison
holds true for Gen. Stillwell's
men who escaped the Japs in
Burma.
Such are the three most wide
~ accepted medical advances to
come out of the battlefield lab
oratory to date. Army and Navy
doctors expect many others to
follow in their wake. The great
majority of them, however, will
not be known until after the war

cal or medical treatments until
exhaustive confederation can be
found.
At Bataan, for example, Ar
my doctors developed a con-
sentative surgery" saving UNI
told scores of arms and legs that
would otherwise have been
amputated. The method was to
lay the wounds wide open and
to drench them with hydrogen
peroxide. 1t was spectacularly
successful in the prevention of
gangrene. Yet before it is ac-
ceptable as a revolutionary new
treatment, it must be tried a
thousand times in a hundred diff
ferent places. Maybe, say the
cautious medicos, Bataan's cli-
mate gave the peroxide special
powers.
Great success has also been
claimed for the opposite of this
open-air technique--that of cut
ting away all infected tissue
from wounds and then sealing
them in plaster casts until heal
ed. This method, pioneered per-
haps in the Franco Prussian War
of 1870, was developed by an
American surgeon named Orr in
the last world war. But the most
dramatic results were claimed
for it by DR.. Joseph Trueta of
Barcelona during the Spanish
Civil War. British doctors also
used it with apparently amaz-
ing success after Dunkirk. Yet
many doctors, especially in the
u. S. Navy, are extremely skep-
tical of its value.
In addition to these, scores OF
new techniques have been men
toned in dispatches from every
front. A Soviet surgeon is re-
ported to have patched up shat
tered nerves with nerves taken
from men killed in battle. The
British claim successful
trench-mouth cure. The French
announced success with an anti
dYsentary- drug.
Much that cannot be publish
ed is undoubtedly being accom-
plished in preventive medicine.
New developments in this field
must remain well-kep. mill
tary secret, for he who can whip
typhus has won a victory as
stunning as Waterloo.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 - On
each of the worlds great battle
fields today a war within a war
is being fought. It's long run
significance is only secondary
in Importance to that of the main
world struggle. This other war
is medicines battle for life in
the midst of the battle for death.
War has always proven the
doctors gre e st laboratory.
Medical victories wo~ on bat
tlefields of the past include such
million-life saving techniques as
tying off of wounds, blood trans
fusionS, local anaesthesia, plastic
rgery, the ambulance and
many others.
World War Two probably will
live in medical annals as the
first war in which the great
majority of the dead we're kill
ed by shot and she'll. In past
wars the disease and infections
that are the grisly aftermath of
bullets have been Deaths &C
tual trigger men.
In the present struggle, the
man who wears the pilots wings
has forced the man who wears
the caduceus to find new, speedy
techniques with which to fight
the battle for life. Three out
standing medical miracles have
already emerged from the Dun
kinks and Bataans. All of them
are aimed to knock infection,
shock and disease off the roll
of wars most deadly killers.
USE OF BLOOD PLASMA
OVERCOMES SHOCK
First among them is the use
of blood plasma to combat shock
and hemorrhage. Weakened by
shock and loss of blood, the
wounded body lacks the strength
TO fight its internal enemies
born of infection. Blood trans
fusions have heretofore b n
thought the most effective weap-
-on-fo -this-fight.-But whole
blood. even in a blood bank, is
hard to handle and highly per-
ishable even under refrigeration.
More important, whole blood
can be administered only to sol
diers whose blood type is SIM
liar to it.

We think it is a mistake to regard this war as one sprngng
from economic factors alone. They are important and cannot
be ignored. We also have the clash of ideals and ideas of gov
eminent. But the table serves to illustrate that so far we have
been losing this titanic struggle in one of its most important
aspects.
The table is taken from a book, "The Coming Battle of
Germany" by William B. Tiff, one of the editors of Flying"
One reader has commented that the first 125 pages of his opus
will scare the pants off you" He points out how the have-nots
have increased their share of the vital materials of the earth
in great quantity and with shocking speed. We have long since
abandoned the passive thinking of 1889 and early 1910, when
we talked of conquering the axis by blockade. One needs only
recall his thoughts of that time to realize what has happened.
And it is not a pretty picture.
Mr.. lifts book becomes more timely in view of all the dis
cussion about a second front. He does not believe we can rely
wishfully upon the Russians to win the war for us by crushing
the Germans with sheer numbers. We can realize that now.
Nor, if we hope to win the war, can we withdraw to the
Western hemisphere to set up a mighty defense in depth.
The author finds the answer to a rising cry for offense in
air power. He raises interesting implications when he declares
that bombers should grow in size as well as in number. We
now have the 1000 pound block busters Mr.: Tiff sees no
reason why we should not, soon, be dropping ten-ton bombs
in enemy countries. One such bomb, he declares, would lay
waste the center of Berlin.
Air power alone, he declares, once saved Britain. Air power
alone, he believes, will now defeat Germany and pave the way
to humiliation of the Japs.
Not all military authorities will agree. But, looking at those
ominous figures on vital production, all will agree that some
thing must be done soon. In the light of Mr.. lifts book and
what we know of American preparation in England, it will be
interesting to learn, we hope soon, what that something"
will be.

japanese are now halfway to Seattle, through their occupation
of the choice harbors of the Aleutians.
THE real threat of the Japanese occupation of the Aleutians
is SUBMARINES"
The articles goes on to show how relatively small submarines
based out of Kiska can serve to disrupt water travel along the
west coast just as thoroughly as the Germans have on the
east coast.
1t then asks, when California suppliers of water-borne Pc
troleum are taken away from Oregon, Washington and Alaska,
what of the great war industries of the Pacific northwest?"
Neither tank car nor rail line facilities are adequate for south
north coastwise movements, it adds, and "The only other sources
of oil are the fields of Montana and Wyoming, with five
transcontinental railways to haul oil"
Montana producers and refners, it adds, saw these dangers
months ago and told the office of petroleum c~oordinator they
would formulate whatever plans that federal agency would
dictate. But nothing has been done, SO far as any Montana oil
man knows, to avert or prepare for the same complications
that arose on the Atlantic coast.
The Oil Journal believes that the time has come for Montana
oil men to carry these facts to Washington and to help organ
ize, as a military measure, a plan to provide the Pacific north
west with petroleum products. Montana and Wyoming, alone,
cannot supply demands of the threatened area not without
a development program and a well-planned one. Critics may
reply that the Aleutian scare may be nothing more than a
scare. That is possible, but better to be prepared for eventual
the newspaper argues, than to throw a huge segment of
our defense effort into chaos. Thus, it may be, that Montana
become the arsenal of another precious war need, just as
already has become one for some of our most vital metals
and alloys.
