Special training in All project
activity which will be in keeping
with the National Defense Program
was the theme of the recent meet
ing of the New Castle County All
Club Leaders Association held in
the county Extension Office at New
ark, says Miss Laura B. Ruther-
ford, New Castle County All club
agent for the Delaware Agricultur-
al Extension Service. Inside-the-
home repair and care suggestions
were given by Miss Louise Whit
comb, home management specialist
for the Delaware Agricultural Elk
tension Service, and Mrs. Kate
Henley Daugherty, New Castle
County home demonstration agent
for the Delaware Agricultural Ex-
tension Service, including chair
Gaming, refinishing furniture, max
ing household equipment boxes, in
sorting additional shelves in closets,
general closet equipment for both
clothes and kitchen storage, max
ing upholstery and rug shampoo
and learning how to clean uphol-
stery and rugs at home, repairing
window shades and screens, puddy-
ing and replacing broken windows
and gluing furniture. In his DEM
onstration on household electrical
equipment repairs, John Kinney of
the Delaware Power and Light
Company, Wilmington, showed the
group of All leaders how to repair
lamps and lamp cords, how to
make an electrical tester to de-
termine short circuits, how to splice
electric cords and how to replace
the plug on an old cord.
Following this the group made a
trip to the University of Delaware
farm shop where c. E. Stevens, in
structor in agricultural mechanics
at the University of Delaware
School of Agriculture, gave in
structions in minor farm repairs
that boys and girls can do at home
or on the farm. AS a follow-up to
the instruction which they had re-
ceived, these local leaders then
spent some time making repairs or
certain articles which they had
brought from home. During 1912
these New Castle County All club
leaders will work with approxim-
ately $50 club members who have
pledged their time and efforts tt
supporting the National Defense
Program in every way possible. Il
is believed that whatever contribu
ton they can make to the economy
in their homes will also be bis
contribution to our national econ
omy program. Therefore, the loca
leaders are assuming the big job o
going back to their communitie
| and training the boys and girls o
their clubs how to make thes
, minor repairs in their own home
when and where they are needed
and not only to make repairs, Blu
to assist and cooperate with thei
A. parents in taking care of what the.
IS have in order to prolong the lif
of all equipment whether it is 1

lished standards. Member institu-'
lions are doing research constant
ly. Maxine Davis, well-known
reporter on medical subjects has
made careful study of it on behalf
of Good Housekeeping, and her re-
port which appears in the January
issue of the magazine, is encourag-
ing.
Many people will ask, Exactly
what is psychoanalysis 2" For them,
Miss Davis has an answer. 1t is two
things, she says. 1t is science, and
it is a method of treatment. The
science is based on the premise that
depressed motives are the cause of
all sorts of neurotic illnesses, not
only Of superficial instances of ir-
rational behaviour but also of deep
er more complex disturbances. The
psychoanalytic treatment is the pro-
cess of searching out disturbances
so the patient may understand them
and overcome them.
Psychoanalysts, Miss Davis
writes, try to unearth the reasons
for their patients mental conflicts.
Frequently they arise from conflicts
or fears that began in childhood, so
long ago that they don't recall them
- they are buried in memory. So
the doctors procedure is thorough
questioning, repeated frequently.

Doctors Predict
Influenza Scare
For Late Winter

INFLUENZA, deadly ally of
i winter, is slated by doctors and
health officials for an epidemic
this winter. Its effects, if it appears
in this form, are serious.
To inform the public of the
causes, symptoms, and treatment OF
influenza, Good Housekeeping mag
azine in its February issue has pre-
pared a chart on the disease, ap-
proved by foremost men OF medi-
cine. A filtrable virus, an active
agent too small to be seen with .
microscope, the article states, is be-
lieved to be the cause of influenza.
It is a common disease, and mild
epidemics occur at irregular inter-
walls, but most often during the win
ter months.
The appearance of influenza is in
sidious, for in its first stages the
symptoms resemble closely those of
the common cold. There is usually a
high fever, a sore throat, nasal dis
charges, sneezing and coughing. But
while cold symptoms tend to clear up
in a weeks time, the signs of in
fluenza grow increasingly. One OF
the most typical is general muscular
pains in the back, head, and limbs,
followed by extreme exhaustion.
The article warns that if it is
suspected that a person has devel-
oped influenza, physician should
be summoned at once. His treatment
is usually directed at control of the
symptoms, unless complications de.
velop. The doctor will recommend
bed for the patient Immediately and
advise that he should not be allowed
to leave it. Room temperature should
be kept at So F. and the patient
should be made as comfortable as
possible. The diet for instance, is left
largely to the desires of the sick per
son, but plenty of starches and sugar
should be included.
One of the great dangers in in
fluenza is the complication that ma.
follow, and the convalescence perio'
is therefore extremely important
Complete rest is advised, but Their
should be a gradual increase in &C
tivity to build up strength.

You Ask,
We Answer

Q. Does the government want
gifts of scrap material?
A. The government prefers
that gifts of scrap should be
made to local charities, service
organizations or Defense
Councils. If you wish to help
the government directly, sell
your scrap to a Junk dealer
and buy War Stamps or Bonds
with the proceeds.
@. Why don't they clean out
the automobile graveyards"?
A. Because every day cars
are sold to graveyards fol
junking and it is desirable to
keep the graveyards in busin-
ess as sources of scrap and
sellers of secondhand parts.
You can't put a whole automo-
bile into a steel furnace. 1t
must be dismantled, cut into
pieces and the body COM
pressed. The graveyard opera
ter and the Junk dealer do
this. The aim of the War
Production Board is to keep
this process moving, and to
speed it up so that every
graveyard will scrap each car
it buys within so days.

Civilians Urged
To Reduce Travel
Over Holidays

The New Haven Railroad
is arranging to provide max
imum train service over the
holidays, with every effort d.
rected toward accommodating
thousands of men in the nat
ions armed forces who are
planning holiday reunions
with families and friends.
Service will depend on the
availability of equipment, and
will conform to regulations of
the Office of Defense Trans
portatiOn.
Pointing out that the forth
coming Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year's-"be-
long to the men in service, Of
fering to many men the last
opportunity to visit families
and friends for the duration,
The New Haven is seeking the
cooperation of civilians to re-
frain from travelling during
these holidays unless such ira
vel is absolutely necessary; or,
at least, to make only one holi-.
day trip, instead of a trip over
each holiday. In this way, civ
ilians will make it possible for
our fighting forces to enjoy the
holiday season.
