Our Soldiers Assured

men moved quietly forward onto
the field, in rapid, erouching move

wounded they applied hasty first
aid, grabbed the soldiers bayonet,
thrust it into the ground and tied
a white bandage on it as a marker
to guide the litter bearers.
The walking wounded" stumbled
back to the first-aid station few
hundred feet behind the front line,
where they were treated by doctors,
while litter bearers came forward
to collect the more seriously "hurt."

The collecting station cares for
all the wounded evacuated from the
three first-aid stations up closer to
the front. All stations are mobile
and can be moved forward in or 10
minutes as the Army advances.
Back of the front line about
miles is set up in clearing station,
one for the entire division.
At the first of the several tents
we visited we looked in upon a SOL

At this station, too, were mobile
surgical units for treatment of ear,

surgery is undertaken in these units
unless a mans life is at stake, for
from the clearing station the men
are sent to q general hospital far
back of the battlefront for more

The men are taught to administer
sulfa drugs. The plan is to give
every soldier a packet containing

sulfa powder for immediate self

CARLISLE BARRACKS, Pa.-On
this historic site, where George
Washington once reviewed his
troops, the United States is build
ing a modern Army to save soldiers
lives.
Here the Army medical service
scheol is training picked men,
drawn from Army and civilian life,
to assure our fighting forces of the
best medical care in history.
I have just seen demonstration
of the thoroughgoing methods of
this unsung branch of military serv-
ice-carried out to simulate the con-
ditions they will face as they go
into the front lines, unarmed eX-
cept for their first-aid kits.
We we're met at Harrisburg by
two Army trucks which rolled us
over the scenic Pennsylvania coun-
tryside to the post-as bright as a
picture post card with its immacu-
late red brick and white wooden
buildings, it's ancient trees and trim
green lawns set sharply against the
hazy purple backdrop of the AL
leghenies.
We wound up the drive to the
officers mess, where groups of COM
misSioned officers and officer can
didates were already in formation
to march back to their classrooms,
each carrying a load of paper
backed study books.
The enlisted men, hardened by
three months in the Army, were
tanned and they marched with prae-
tlced precision. The doctors, both
young and middle-aged, coming
fresh to the service, were serious
faced and little awkward.
Col, Edgar Erskine Hume, second
in command to Brig. Gen. Addison
D. Davis, commandant of the post,
took us in tow. Col Hume is one
of the top-ranking men in the medi-
cal service.

Then, in vast field, we saw d

Library of Congress
HonorS Me1ico.

The people of Mexico celebrate
the anniversary of their independ-
ence next Tuesday and Wednesday.
In honor of this event the Library
of Congress is presenting an exhi-
bition entitled Shoulder to Shoul-
der" concerning our Southern neigh
bors who are now by our side in the
fight for freedom. 1t is hoped the
Mexican Ambassador can be present
at the Library to officially open the
exhibition on September Is.
The display is many-sided, with
historical, literary and esthetic as
poets as well as current events. 1t
consists primarily of publications on
Mexico, among them reproductions
of paintings and prints by Mexican
artists. 1t begins with facsimiles of
pre-conquest Photographic records of
the Aztecs, known as codices, the
first American books. Labels supply
adequate comment throughout the
display, briefly tracing the history of
Mexico from the first recorded in
habitants of the region, about 1000
years ago. Ancient maps of Mexico,
18th and 18th centuries, are dec
GRATED with Spanish galleons. The
Spanish colonial period is further
represented with color photographs
of beautiful Baroque churches, and
by early books and sheet music.
Two particularly engaging prints
are N. Currier Autographs dated
1S47 and 1848, depicting Veracruz
and a public park in Mexico City.
The former is exceptional, having
a delicacy of color and an airy, far
reaching composition not to be
found in many Currier Autographs.
During the past half century,
there have been many United States
publications on Mexico. Examples
from the Pan-American Union, His
panic Foundation of the Library of
Congress, and the Office of Co.
ordinator of Inter American Affairs,
represent official achievements,
while many books from private firms
reveal popular interest in Mexican
art and literature. A large proper
ton Of the latter are books on art,
such as Modern Mexican Painters"
by MacKinley Helm; 1.-THE Prescoes
of Diego Rivera" Portrait of Mex
ico," by Rivera and Wolfe, and the
deflnitive catalogue of the exhibi-
ton at the Museum of Modern Art,
New York City, in 1910; Twenty
Centuries of Mexican Art" A re-
cent publication is portfolio of cos
tune plates in color by Carlos
Merida, noted Guatemalan painter,
portraying the picturesque natives
of today. These are on view along
with good color reproductions of
paintings by Rivera and woodcuts
by Siqueiros. There are a few orig
inal works, including an etching of
a church in Taxco by Hirst Milhol-
len of the Fine Arts Division, Lii
brary of Congress, and a lithograph
by William Sprathng.
Photographs of the country and
people, stills" from motion pictures,
Mexican posters and cartoons
against the Axis, and other items

they struck. They wanted both fruit

wanted it in pitchers on the table.

and hung up.

traffic manager, who runs the 900
trucks which transport both workers
and crop. That bunch of strikers

McGovern's big worry will be over

I watched his struggle for two
days and then got back to the

one from the Department of Agri-
culture. 1t announced that by early
September it would have completed
plans to transport farm workers to
areas where there is serious labor
shortage.

but they're fine workers.
That added up, but each day is
an adventure in labor relations.
For example: The Mexicans come
in here for harvesting after a
months work in the Montana beet
fields. Two hundred arrived one
night by train just as McGovern
got a telegram saying that acres
of peas were going to waste in
Eastern Washington. That's long,
expensive train ride, but McGovern
popped the 200 Mexicans onto the
train. He says the company has
had to stop worrying about cost.
This morning I visited the plant

to the labor problem. 1t was am.
McGovern was checking the crew
sheets being phoned in from hun
dreds of miles around. Here 270
men were needed. They were six
short. McGovern phoned the next
town and lend-leased six men to
the first plant. A company truck
was rushing them over.
Then one field headquarters
phoned they needed IL more. Those
Indian lads who were due for that
day had arrived, but they would
be no good until the next day. Nc
Govern checked to find that the
truck bringing them in had stopped
for refueling. Just long enough for
the lads to get stock of beer. They
arrived at the cornfield, blotto.

Whyte Gallery Framed
Picture Annual.

Last Tuesday the Whyte Gallery
opened its annual exhibition of
framed reproductions, including COL
or prints of works by old and mod
ern masters, published in this coun-
try in recent months. The war has
practically ended the importation of
tne color reproductions from Eur
ope, but new publications in the
United States are filling some needs.
In the past year, color prints have
been issued of the work of con-
temporary French painters, includ-
ing Derain, Duffy, Laurencin, Ma
tisSe, Picasso, Redon, Renoir and
Segoniac; black and white repro
ductions of etchings by Picasso and
Rouault, and collotypes of older
masters-Rembrandt, Boucher and
Daumier. Silk screen prints, too, are
appearing in increasing numbers.
Home owners who acquire orig
inal paintings and prints benefit
contemporary artists and further
the development of living art, to
which the reproduction offers Sc
rious competition. However, if peo-
pie must have reproductions, they
should examine the many publica-
tions of high quality available. Far
too many pictures completely devoid
of eSthetic merit are now occupying
precious wall space in private homes,
hotels and other public places. 1t
does not seem impossible that they

pleasure or inspiration; one sus-
