Dusted into burns or wounds, sulfa powders have proven-from Libya to Bataan-that they are nfe-savers
 literally, through the prevention of infection.
 British army doctors have esti- mated that soldiers with abdomi- nal wounds have a 60 per cent chance of recovery when braced with plasma, protected from in- lection 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 blitz- krieg on death is the development of a tetanus toxoid to replace anti toxin. This toxoid provides a year of near immunity to this dread in- lection. Proof of it's effectiveness is that, protected 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.
 NEW-TYPE SURGERY
 SAVES AFFILIATIONS
 Such are the three most widely accepted medical advances to come out of the battlefield laboratory to date. Army and Navy doctors ex- pect many others to follow in their wake. The great majority of them, however, will not be known until after the warrior doctors refuse to accept one mans word for new sur- gical or medical treatments until exhaustive corroboration can be found.
 At Bataan, for example, Army doctors developed a conservative surgery" saving untold 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. It was spectacularly suc- cessful in the prevention of gan- grene. Yet before it is acceptable as a revolutionary new treatment, it

WELFARE CASES
 DROP IN JULY

The city's welfare case load showed another decline in July. &C., cording to a report by. Supt. of Welfare Martin F. Hayden. There were 517 individuals receiving aid, as compared with 576 in June. and approximately 1000 in July of last year.
 Further declines may come in August and September, but the ar- rival of cold weather will undoubt- edly bring an increase in the num- Der of requests for aid.

In past wars, the disease and in- fections that are the grisly after math of bullets have been Deaths actual 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 outstanding medical miracles have already emerged from the Dunkirks and Bataans. All of them are aimed to knock infection, shock and dis ease 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 it's internal enemies born of in- lection. Blood transfusions have heretofore been thought the most effective weapon for this fight. But whole blood, even in g blood bank is hard to handle and highly perishable even under refrigera- ton. More important, whole blood can be administered only to sol- diers whose blood type is similar to it.
 Blood plasma, on the other hand, is universal in type. Sep arated from the whole blood and dehydrated, it needs no refrigera- ton. Unlike whole blood, 1t can- not be jolted into deterioration as it bounces to the front = where 1t is urgently needed. The thou sands of servicemen who already owe their lives to this precious fluid are but the vanguard of 8 civilian army that some day will number millions.
 Next to the use of plasma, Army and Navy doctors have won their most spectacular victories over death with members of the still-mysterious sulfa family (which now numbers over 1000 derivativeS).

kirk. Yet many doctors, especially in the U. s. Navy, are extremely Skeptical of it's value.
 In addition to these, scores of new techniques have been mentioned in dispatches from every front. A So- viet surgeon is reported to have patched up shattered nerves with nerves taken from men killed in battle. The British claim a success

Pool Warns Landlords Not Raise Rent

Juneau, Nov. 2 - Land lords throughout Alaska were today reminded by Calvin Pool, Assistant Dir ector of the Territorial of flee of the OPA, that it is now unlawful to charge a higher rent for living quar ters than the rent charged on March 1 of this year.
 The new regulation, it was pointed out, applies to hotels and rooming houses as well as to apartments and homes. and requires that the premises be rent ed on the same periodic basis as on March 1, or at 2 rental yielding no more for the period than would be realized if the premises were rented on that same periodic basis.
 "PrOViSions are made in the regulation" MT. Pool stated, whereby land lords and tenants can ap- ply for adjustment but, un til adjustment has been ap proved, the rent prevailing the first of March is the legal maximum which can be collected now. even though the property is the subject of an uneXpired lease or has been improv- ed since March. Living quarters constructed since March may be rented at an amount agreed upon by landlord and tenant. b u t the landlord must immed- lately apply for approval of the rent by OPA.o
 Plans are being made for registration of all land lords of dwelling aceomo- dations later this month.

Like the program Of activities. Many
games they especially enjoy-bowI-
Ing, Ice skating, horseback riding
are being encouraged through for
nation Of clubs and cooperation of
private facilities.
BasicaIly the desirable program
seeks to develop fundamental skills
in a few games in the junior high
school, following this with intra-
mural contests and more individual
and dual participation sports in the
senior highs. .
It is impractical now to put a five
period-a-week physical ed" pro-
gram into the Junior highs, accord
ing to Mr.. Pearce and DR.. Hender-
son, because junior high pupils have
more subjects than pupils in the
senior highs. But the program In
the Junior high schools can be
accelerated to four periods a week
with the addition Of the necessary
stad. Mr.. Pearce would need %
more staff members and DR.. Hen
derson about four tot do the job,
according to their rough estimates.
More Teachers Needed. =
Thus, as far as the public schools
are concerned, gearing the physical
education program to the national
need for physically fit youth means:
/. Extension of the hve-period a
week Calvin Coolidge program to
every senior high school, which
means about 43 additional instruc-
tors, both men and women, at 81 300
or total of about 7.400.
2. Extension Of Junior high pro-
gram to four periods q week, in
cluding both activity and instruc-
ton, by adding about 26 instructors,
both men and women, at Sl600 or
q total of about S41 500.
8. Recognition by selective serv-
ice Of the Importance Of the physi-
cal education instructor In the war
program and consequent arrange
ments to avoid hampering the pro-
gram by taking the men away be-
fore their job is done.
4. Use in physical education by
the schools of the proper personal
ties among staff personnel to SELF
physical education and the curbing
of unnecessary exemptions.
Only 80 more teachers are in
cluded in the 1943 school budget
now before Congress and not one
is for physical education purposes.
But these estimstes were drawn up
before Pearl Harbor. More physical
education teachers must be found
now il the Districts schools are to
carry out their appointed task dur
ing the war.

District soldier is to be on a par
physically with his enemy and if the
future percentage of District
selectees rejected for physical
reasons is to be lowered.
The activity program In the
course-worked out Jointly by Birch
Bayh, director Of the health and
physical education department until
he took civilian job with the Army,
and DR.. E. B. Henderson, director
of the program in the colored
schools, is excellent. But it reaches
entirely too few pupils.
Students Have Fewer Defects.
Only at Calvin Coolidge High
School is there the ideal" program,
Mr.. Pearce said-five periods a
week. three of activity and two of
health education, and everybody
from the principal to the students
keenly interested.
And If you're looking for divi-
dends, recent comparison of physical
examinations of students at Coolidge
with those of three other high
schools by School Medical Inspector
Joseph A. Murphy showed Coolidge
with about so per cent less defects,
he said. The program has been in
effect there about year and half.
Some. students at Woodrow VIII
son High School are on five pc. lods
q week as are a few at Roosevelt
High School To extend the Cool
idge program to every senior high
school in the system would require
about 43 more instructors, accord
ing to Mr.. Pearce and DR.. Hender-
son. Thirty-five would be for the
white schools and eight for the COL
ored.
Physical education is compulsory
in the public schools but many OF
the children miss it altogether.
Members of the high school varsity
teams get credit for physical educa-
ton for their work on the team
and in most of the senior high
schools cadets receive credit for phys
ical education. At Calvin Coolidge
they do not. Many cadets yolun-
tarily participate in the physical
education programs.
Pupils More Interested.
Since the Inauguration of the new
program by Mr.. Bayh and Mr.. Hen
derson, Mr.. Pearce declares pupils
don't "cut" physical ed" classes as
