ETHNOLOG1sTs ATTENTION

0hrlmps are considered deniZens of the deep and can't walk much, let alone fly. But who knows? Back in the early ages, before man. probably they flew about, much like the airplane of today. Perhaps they were the first Lone Eagle.
 At any rate, Walter c. Waters, pioneer curio dealer, has uncover ed what he proclaims to be a "pre- historic flying shrimp" and now has it on display at his store. He figures it probably was a single motored job.

U. S. BOMBRS BAG ITALIAN CRUISERS

CAIRO-United States bombers yesteray severely damaged three It. allan cruisers found at Pylos, Greek harbor on the Ionian Sea, at eau tious distance from the convoy bat tie which the Axis insisted was rag ing in the Mediterranean. Results of the high-level attack made by the huge bombers included two direct hits on one cruiser followed by a terrific explosion; a second cruiser set afire and a third cruiser damag- ed by an explosion. A fourth Ital- ian cruiser apparently escaped un- damaged. The four-motored bomb CTS flew a 1300-mile round trip from bases either in Egypt or Cyp- rus, the announcement said.

EIGHT PER CENT SALES
 TAX NOW PROPOSED

WASHINGTON-An eight per cent sales tax To supplement heavy corporate and individual income levies for war purposes was pro- posed yesterday by J. C. R. Cowden, spokesman for the National Associa- ton of Manufacturers. The program called for $36.200.O0o.00O in rev enue in 1943, a sharp increase over pending measures. on top of which was suggested consideration of com pulsory individual savings. While urging a sales tax. as had the United States Chamber of Com merce, the manufacturers associa- ton said a five per cent withhold ing tax on individual earnings such as the Chamber also proposed was impractical and indefensible."

A Nurses Aide
Aids the Army

Suggestions Who Sincerely Want to Aid the War

routine duties of several graduate
nurses, four nurses aides actually
can replace one graduate nurse,
leaving the graduate nurses who
remain to do the exacting jobs that
require long years of training and
experience.
The graduate nurses themselves,
many of whom want to join the
Army or Navy Nurse Corps but
have hesitated to leave short
handed hospitals, consider their
aides are filling a great need.
Good Reports on Work.
I'VE have had good reports about
the nurses aides from the hospi-
tails, the graduate nurses and the
wards where the aides do so much" "
Miss Edith Beattie. executive sec
retary of the Graduate Nurses As
sociation, declared.
The need is there and the aides
are filling it, as far as the present
corps is able. But there are still
many wards and clinics where pa
tients have never seen q nurses
aide. There are still many nurses
who could be sent to the wounded
at the front II there were four
nurses aides to fill each gap.
That is why the Red Cross Is
starting its third training course
In a single month on August a.
You can help by enrolling as q
nurses aide. A nurses aide also
aids the Army.
Evening star., 1942-08-16

Gearing its training program to
meet the immediate need for $50
more Red Cross nurses aides in
Washington hospitals and civilian
defense medical units, the Red
Cross is starting two more training
classes soon.
AS fast as nurses aides can be
graduated they will go to work, for
the need for them is desperate.
Nurses aides are one answer the
hospitals have found for the con-
tinuing demand of the Army and
Navy, which are calling for 5000
graduate nurses month. just how
much the armed forces need those
nurses can be judged from the fact
that six nurses are needed for every
thousand men and the armed forces
now averages two and one-half
nurses a thousand. In time of
heavy casualties. the need for nurses
would jump to 10 nurses per thou
sand men.
Variety of Local Needs.
Then, there is the need for nurses
in public health work, in the ever
increasing number of Government
buildings which must have their
nurse -staffed emergency rooms, in
industrial clinics. Add to that the
rising birth rate which packs OBJ
stetrical wards and the ever posi-
BILE time when hospitals may be
crowded with victims Of air raids,

| District Motorists
| Warned to Show
Stickers

Washington motorists are gen.
orally ignoring one of the basic reg
ulations governing the gasoline ra-
tioning program, the proper display
of stickers on cars. District OPA
Director Whitney Leary asserted
yesterday.
Mr.. Leary said numerous reports
of failure to display the sticker had
reached his office. He expressed the
view that this was due more to
thoughtlessness than q deliberate
effort to ignore the regulation.
"Rationing regulations, Mr.. Leary
emphasized, specifically require
that gasoline may be delivered to a
vehicle only when sticker Is prop
erly displayed on the car and this
sticker must be displayed at all
times; that the sticker must desig-
nate the highest-ranking rationing
book issued for that car and that
the car should bear only one stick
er, the highest class for that car. 4"
He also emphasized that dealers
have been instructed to watch care
fully for the car sticker before max
ing gasoline sales and In all cases
where the sticker Is not properly
displayed dealers may not honor
gasoline coupons.

men are not available for the auxil-
iaries. But even If there were, rules
of the fire department forbid the
use of any of this equipment by any
one other than regular members Of

Even more disturbing to the aux

providing mobile fire-fighting equip
ment which will be spread through

enemy raid. The auxiliary stations
already have been designated at 90
