papers EARLY
Selectees Facing Induction
Must Get Proper Permit
in Advance.

Selective Service regiStrants subject
to induction who will desire a ten
day furlough Immediately after Undue
ton were warned to contact then
local board well in advance of the
induction date to secure the neceS-
sary papers. The announcement was
made by Col j. E. Nelson, state direc-
tor of selective service.
The issuance of furloughs is a re-
sponsibility of the army and specifi-
cally the commanding officer of the
reception center. Selective service has
no authority to grant furloughs, but
has been asked to assist the army in
advising selectees as to the proper
procedure and to have local boards
submit recommendations as to whether
or not, in their opinion, furloughs
should be granted and for what
period.
The army will in some cases grant a
furlough of 10 days or less to those
Selectees who need the time to con-
clude their business, financial, or per-
sonal arrangements. 1t was pointed
out that the selectee must show that
such arrangements must be accom-
plished promptly, in order not to
cause extreme hardship.
Selectees themselves will pay travel
and all other expenses of the furlough

turns at the request of government
agencies. The first national service
was athe collection of old aluminium;
10 million pounds were collected by
scouts alone. The second project was
the distribution of over 100000 de-
Tense bonds and stamp posters Scouts
are now engaged in the third project,
which is the collection of waste paper.
Troop I'll of Ely under Lynn Paulson
has done an outstanding job there
Thousands of Uncle Sans fighting
men have had Scout training. If the
war lasts for three years, one-third of
the present scout membership of
nearly one and a half million boys
will be under arms. The scout move
ment feels that it can render a real
service by giving our future defenders
the best possible scout training. For
this reason scout leaders have been
asked to redouble their efforts and to
consider their volunteer jobs in scout
ing as a vital defense function
Another angle on scouting IN war
time is the experience in England as
regards to an increase in juvenile de-
linquency which has increased over Al
per cent and has swamped the over
taxed courts. Lack of parental control,
overworked police departments, alb
normally high wages paid to many
young workers, the disruption of
schools, clubs and scout troops and
general moral let-down are some of
| the causes.
England has been awakened to this
| juvenile problem and has had to re-
organize its youth program. A survey
showed that delinquency goes down
when boy belongs to group with
an adult leader and when a boy has
a chance to do something in the way
of community service. Scouting can
help meet this problem in America
when the public through its parents
churches, schools, civic organizations
unite to strengthen youth activities in
war time.

MAY REVIVE OLD RUG ART.

Americas home makers may have to
dig back into their grandmothers
experiences to revive the pioneer rug
makers art-if the war lasts long
enough.
The war in the Pacific has shut off
Americas supplies of jute yarn neces-
sary for the making of floor coverings
The wool rug industry has been
warned that the shortage is so critical
that no ALLEGATIONS of yarn can be
made after this month. They may not
be able to finish rugs started.
So the old rag rug, braided and
sewed from scraps of cloth useful for
no other purpose, may again lend its
colorful grace to American homes.
CHLORINE OUT.
Chlorine, which under a variety of

The Consumer division of the Office
of Price Administration, however
offers this bit of information for
whatever it Is worth:
Chlorine never has been a cleansing
agent. 1t is a bleacher but has been
used to make clothes at least look
clean. AS the supply of chlorine
available for civilian uses goes down
Mrs. America is going to get the
same results by rubbing little harder

and hanging the clothes in the sun

division says, chlorine has done much

HOW'S
YOUR HEALTH?
Minnesota Medical Assn
st. Paul.

May day will be celebrated all over
the country this year by a special ef-
fort to see that every child is pro-
tected against small pox and diph-
liberia.
The Presidents May day child
health proclamation is devoted en-
tirely to the cause and like proclama-
tons have been issued here in Min
nesota by Governor Stassen and by
DR.. A. j. Chesley, secretary of the
State Board of Health.
The Minnesota State Medical asso-
citation, likewise, has carried on a
continuous campaign for vaccination
and immunization in the state be-
cause war time is associated always
with epidemics of disease. 1t is more
than ever necessary to prevent the
diseases We know can be prevented
because others may come along for
which there is no safe and sure pro-
lection. To neglect those which have
been shown to be unnecessary is poor
economy and poor patriotism.
Every baby should be protected
from small pox and diphtheria by the
time he is one year old and again, If
necessary, before he goes to school.
Every adult should be vaccinated
against small pox every five years. If
this program is followed, two ancient
scourages can be wiped from the state
of Minnese ia.
OIrrSwT0NS ANN ANSurpS
Mrs. H. M.-What is the cause of q
coated tongue and rough mouth?
Ans.-Coated tongue may be caused
by chrnoic indigestion, by unhealthy
teeth and gums and other conditions.
Not the coated tongue itself but the
condition which causes it should have
treatment. Rough mouth sometimes
occurs as the result of rough, jagged
teeth and may lead to difficulty if
there is irritation. You should have
an examination by your doctor and
follow his instructions.
Mrs. r. HI have a son 10 years
old who has erysipelas. What treat
ment do you advise?
Ans.-Erysepelas is a serious strep-
tococcus infection. Most earlier treat
ments were unsatisfactory but en-
couraging results have been obtained
recently by use of derivatives of sui
fanilimide Treatment requires the
immediate attention of a qualified
physician.

WILL CARRY Ill RIDERS.
War plant workers who've been
worrying how to get their jobs in out
lying districts when their tires are
worn on. can take heart in new
passenger trailer being developed by
the federal government.
1t already has been through its first
tests. 1t will be SIS feet long and will
have total passenger capacity of
I'll persons. Besides, there will be
space for 80 standing passengers. This
is three times the capacity of an or
binary city bus and nearly twice that
of the largest street car.
Few critical materials go into its
construction. There is a conventional
steel frame, but the entire superstruc-
ture is made of plywood and mason
tie. 1t will have eight wheels. It's
weight is $4,000 pounds, compared to
1900 pounds for standard type 40
passenger city bus.
PHONOGRAPH RECORDS CUT.
Production of monographs will soon

In new order, the WPB has re-
duced the number of monographs and
radio prescriptions to approximately
80 per cent of the 1941 production 1t
did the job by limiting the amount
of shellac available to the industry to
that amount.
The reason for the action is that
