Your Extra Ounce Of Effort

IT'S THAT EXTRA ounce of effort on
u the part of every American that will
win this war
Mrs. Victor Van YORK of 144S9 Alma
avenue, has sailor son, who is veteran
of South Sea battles and another son in
tank-destroyer battalion. She is buying
war bonds. But this was not enough. The
pile of scrap in front of her home Saturday
was the largest in the block.
r. G. Brand, of 1880 Dexter avenue,
is an apartment co-ordinator for the
OCD, an air raid warden instructor, an
auxiliary fireman, who has made five blood
bank contributions. But this was not
. enough. Saturday he rolled up his sleeves

How Not to Do 1t

to act for fear some property holder-who
presumably bought a house because the
fence was near by-might object.
There is a simple way to determine
whether any one would object to removal
of the fence. A petition could be cir
culated among the property holders But
the special projects division rejected that
method. 1t would take too long.
Instead, it is taking some quick, easy
method which has already taken six
months
So, if you are one of the hundreds of
scrap conscious Detroiters who is irritated
by the sight of that idle metal, just relax:
The WPB is working on the problem.

THE special projects division of the War
Production Board here has given an
excellent example of HOW NOT to collect
scrap.
Just six months ago, the special
projects division started one of its special
projects-removal Of the two and-a-half
block long ornamental fence in East JEFF
ferson avenue in Crosse Pointe Park. The
fence-which shuts nothing in nor out
was erected by real estate development
company years ago and contains 40 tons of
excellent metal.
The real estate company has agreed to
the removal, and so has the village of
Crosse Pointe. But the WPB has failed

THE medical corps OF the
army and navy are begin
ming to find out whether the
preparations which they have
made for emergencies are of any
practical value or not.
As in any military or naval
project, a device or plan may
look very good on paper and
even seem to be effective in ma
neuvers, but in actual warfare
may develop unforeseen defects
which render it totally useless
or, worse, obstructive.
Capt. w. II. Michel, u. S. N,
in a national magazine, takes
pardonable pride in the fact that
though the navy and army
fighting units at Pearl Harbor
failed to plan for cooperation
which would have been an eff
fective defense, the non-fighting
medical units of both army and
navy were ready TO go into ac-
ton together when the emer-
gency fell upon them.
CERTAINLY every physician
- in the United States, espe-
cially the medical officers of the
last war, will read with pride
the record of efficiency with dis
patch with which the wounded
were handled on that fateful
day.
Now for the medical lessons.
The four cardinal problems
which present themselves in the
treatment of the wounded are:
pain, hemorrhage, burns and
shock.
Later the problems Of infec-
ton. especially infection with
tetanuS, and disability occur.
Pain was controlled at Pearl
Harbor because a medical Off
GER in the navy in 1888 resur-
rected the old Greeley unit, used
in 1918, which is handy NOR
phine unit that can be injected
without further preparation; a
needle attached TO a collapsible
tube.
Every medical, dental and
hospital corps man had these
and used them freely.

CATURDAY, the newspaperboys OF
- America want to sell total of
$4,000, 600 in War Savings Stamps. It's
their special day of the year and has been
set aside as National Newspaperboy Day.
Michigan's Gov Murray D. Van
Wagner by special proclamation, calls
upon all citizens to pay tribute to their
newspaperboys on this date.
to your door today and every day
march these youths These lads you know
quite well; perhaps one of them is your
own son, at any rate a neighbor's boy.
Though they wear no uniforms, they're
very much in this war. They're busy going
to school, too. but they still find time to do
a job for Uncle Sam.
BY selling War Savings Stamps to
you and your neighbors, THEY HELP
BUILD PLANES AND BOATS, MAKE
GUNS AND AMMUNITION.
All Detroit Times carrier boys are
official United States Defense Agents for
the sale of War Savings Stamps. It's their
voluntary contribution to our struggle for
victory.
Newspaperboys have sold over $780,
100000 in War Savings Stamps to date.
Detroit Times carriers have sold nearly
100000 10-cent stamps.

What War Bonds Buy

Gas masks. which came into
use in warfare for the first
time when the Germans used
poison and mustard gas in
World War /, are much I'm
proved today over those used
then. The chemical warfare
branch of the war department
issues these gas masks to every
man in the service. We are
taking no chances.
They cost about S9.25 each.
The headgear is transparent.
made of material resembling
cellophane and does not cloud
with the breath. You can buy two
of these gas masks with the
purchase of an S1S.75 war bond.
We need thousands OF them.
The nations school children
should make any reasonable sac
rifice TO buy war bonds and
stamps.

Hemorrhage was controlled
first, of course, by stopping the
bleeding, and its bad after ef-
fects were controlled by trans
fusions made possible by the
fact that every man in service
has his blood typed, and wears
his type number on his identifi-
cation tag.
Shock was controlled largely
because pain and hemorrhage
were controlled.
Burns were major problem
at Pearl Harbor, for they were
very severe.
The pushing of fluids and use
of blood plasma for transfusions
were found, as experience in
civil practice has indicated, to
be necessary for the immediate
symptoms,

to stating that he was the spon-
sor of the amendment for the
fortification of Guam, stated:

In regard to the Guam fortifi-

the appropriation for the two
45,000-ton battleships, the roll
call shows that my Republican

passage of the bill.

Hitler Wastes Time, Men
to Gain Empty Prestige

WASHINGTON, Oct. AT
w Stalingrad. Hitler committed
himself to pay an extravagant
price for a bauble of prestige.
The city was ruined by his
dive bombers at the outset.
Early, he reached and cut the
Volga River artery of Red COM
merce on both sides of the city,
thereby attaining the main mill
tary objective In this sector.
But the Russians have used
the crumbled city ruins as bar
ricades, strong as any fort. His
planes became. useless for such
close mitigating. His tanks could
only be used in twos and threes
to chase snipers along devas-
tated streets.
Thus, he has had to sacrifice
ground troops heavily to win
street by street. day after day.
IF THE Russians could muster
Il any kind of an offensive
along the east-west line between
the Volga and Don, north Of the
city, they could even yet break
the back of the Stalingrad at
tack.

Compulsory

Un-American
Warn McNutt, Hershey
Of Rising Opposition
BY wEsTBROOK PEGLER

DAUL McNUTT, General Her
= shey and all others con-
cerned had better get it through
their heads right away that the
people OF the United States will
refuse to cooperate in any pro-
gram of compulsory employment
which attempts TO force millions
of citizens to pay tribute to the
political subdivision of the New
Deal Party known as the labor
movement.
McNutt is a politician and can
address himself to the subject.
Hershey, being soldier, must
keep out or politics and there
fore probably will not address
himself on this.
There is no point, either, In
urging people TO get into war
work voluntarily and then send
ing them to the office Of some
union to pay money as the price
of a job.
Yet this is being done all over
the country and the mere cost
in money, painful as IL Is to
most of the victims OF this sane
titled stickup, isn't the whole
objection.
There is still such thing as
principle and the people simply
will not give up their right 10
work. whether on government
war jobs or in private, non-war
industry, without asking the
permission of some private or
ganization.
THE constant news of strikes
Il here. there and yonder GER
tainly operates against the sol
emn and undoubtedly sincere
and patriotic warnings of Nc
Mutt and. Hershey.
The Chicago papers tell OF
jurisdictional strike on an enor-
nous steel plant in which the
nod carriers union, a notorious
racket long infested with vile
underworld criminals. and only
one of whose national officers
and that one of secondary rank
ever was elected by the work
ers. is squabbling with the
plumbers and steamfitters over
the division OF the graft.
The ST. Louis papers discover
that recent strike in a car
fridge plant was conducted by a
criminal with a prison record
and background OF bootlegging
and divekeeping whose civil
rights were restored in 1885 for
the very purpose of permitting
him TO become a professional
unioneer.
The hod carriers shakedown

days lost is beside the point.
The point is that no man-days
should be lost by strikes and
that no man should be placed
under labor compulsion as long
as any voluntary man-days are
wasted by the unions.
Compulsion is contrary to all
the past experience Of Ameri-
cans and against their princi-
Piles. but we doubtless will
submit if we are convinced that
everything short Of compulsion
has been used.
But all concerned had better
be warned that If and when the
American people submit 10 COM
pulsion they will not submit TO
compulsory unionism and extor-
ton.

Money in the Bank

By P. G.. Wodehouse, Double
day, Dordn & Co., Inc, NeD
York.
Imprisonment in a NaZi concen-
tration camp has failed to affect the
humor of the versatile Mr.. Wode-
house. His latest book was started
at his villa in LIE Touquet. France,
and completed while he was a pris-
oner of the Nazis in Silesia. He was
captured in June, 1889, and was
only recently allowed freedom with
in the Reich.
Mr.. Wodehouse's prolific pen
again has turned out a novel which
will delight mis- followers. The ere
ator of "Jeeves," BERTHE Wooster"
and Mr.. Psmith" has bK mght to-
gether in his new book an odd va
riety of people who are as scatter
Drained as they are perplexing.
The story, told against a London
background, Is packed with the plot
and counterplot which is so charac-
teristic of the author. To divulge its
peculiar ramifications, however,
would be unfair to prospective read
ers. The reviewer can only say
that 1t is typical Wodehouse.

The Coy Sisters
By Stephen LongStreet. Ran

~ SLepHeH LOHgSLreet. hGn-
dom House, Ne1D York.
Mr.. Lopgstreet's latest novel is all
about a once fabulously rich fam
lily which has been drained of prac-
tically everything through the
vicious handling of its affairs by
corrupt lawyers, bankers and even
judges. The Gaylord sisters are
the last OF the line, and their estate
has been in litigation for 20 years.
The author has captured the de-
cadent atmosphere of the boarded
up mansion on upper Fifth Avenue,
where Fiona, the eldest sister, who
Is Just past 80, sits and smokes small
black cigars while dreaming of past
grandeur. She seems an affected
character with her many tempera-
mental outbursts and her strange
attitude toward her child. Evelyn,
the second sister, Is described as
vigorous and passionate" but she
hardly lives up to the billing. Su-
sanna, the youngest, comes closest
to being real, possibly because she
carries what little love interest the
novel affords.
On the whole, Mr.. Longstreet is
more successful with details than
with his characters. Incidentally,
''The Gay Sisters" was bought by
. motion picture company from
galley proofs. Doubtless 1t will make
. better movie than 1t does Q novel.
