200 Pounds of Poper
Must Be Collected
Every Week

AS the Salvage for Victory paper
collection campaign in the District
public schools. sponsored jointly by
The Evening Star and the various
Parent-Teacher and Home and
School Associations. swings into its
fifth week, a process of elimination
is under way. Schools which fail to
yield a minimum of 200 pounds of
paper and magazines will be dropped
from the program.
This is necessary because the
dealer who collects the paper Is
paying, at the schools, the price
usually paid for paper and maga-
zines delivered to his plant. In
order to make a stop worth his
while, the 300 pound minimum is
/ necessary, and it is also necessary
that all paper and magazines be
tied firmly in bundles to speed up
collections.
No school should have difficulty in
meeting the minimum. If as few
as 40 children brought only the daily
papers received in their homes dur
ing a week, the total would be con-
siderably in excess of 200 pounds.
The task Of carrying 8 or 10
papers imposes no great burden
on school pupil A child who
takes 10 average sized papers to
school in this program is, in effect,
carrying 120 cardboard boxes in
which 30-caliber ammunition is
shipped, or 180 dust covers for air

batting an outbreak of typhus fever,
recently has rushed hundreds Of ad-
ditional doctors and nurses to the
eastern front and established IN
anti-epidemic center at Warsaw,
the Berlin correspondent of the
Swiss newspaper National zeitung
reported today.
A battle against lice" the chief
carrier Of typhus, has resulted.
Nazi soldiers, wearing heavy cloth
ing for long periods without wash
ing them, have been beset with lice,
the newspaper said.
'"The abnormal climate and wealth.
er conditions Of the Russian winter
not only necessitate care of cloth
ing, food and shelter for the troops
but increasing painstaking examina-
ton of health conditions" the dis-
patch said.
Special measures have been
taken against epidemics for which
the danger Is very great. In barracks
and blockhouses there frequently
are three to four times as many
people crammed together as was the
case on the western front.
Army doctors say that toward the
end of winter the fever curve usually
rises steadily. Consequently, big
centers for delousing have been
created behind the front. manned
by hundreds Of doctors, specialists
and chemists. the louise being the
most dangerous carrier of spotted
typhus"
It said Prof. Kudike, chief Of the
German Institute of Hygiene and a
typhus specialist. headed the War
saw center. 1t credited him with
developing a method OF diagnosing
spotted typhus within 10 minutes,
whereas the diagnosis formerly took
one to two days.
Spotted typhus was reported In
Swedish dispatches to have broken
out some weeks ago in the Baltic
states and in Polish areas, resulting
in strict quarantines in some zones.
Asiatic cholera also had been re-
ported from regions around the Ural
Mountains.

stood. A shower of dust and debris higher
than the house itself enveloped everything

After that there was calm stiffness every

The lifeless, broken bodies were dug out
