Attitude Of France

Since Pierre Laval, ardent advocate of COlabora- ton with Germany, has gained power in France and reports have been persistent that he will turn the French fleet to Hitler, may render tremendous service to Adolf Hitler
 It is not probable that Laval will immediately at tempt to deliver the Warships masse to the Nazis His work will be done with finer hand Collaboration will proceed slowly and cautiously It may include attempt to reconquer colonies under the rule of the Free French and the regmentation of French mechan icS for service in German war industries Gradually. fleet units will pass into German hands
 Laval it should be remembered, became Vice Pre- mier and "her-apparent to Marshal Petan after the armistice at Compeigne. He anti-British, anti Semetic and anti-Republcan In less than six months he clashed with the hero of Verdun & busted from office Subsequently, Admiral Darn, ant-British sea- man, became "her-apparent, and some progress was made in economic collaboration This eliminated, ap- parenty in the retirement of General Weygand pro- consul of North Africa in the fall of 1941 and the sub sequent shipment of supplies through French Tunisa to help General Romme in Lbya Weygand in today dispatches urges Laval to resist the Italian demand that Nice Corsica and Tunisa be given to MuSsolln
 Every American should realize that the position ot France is desperate Split apart by the conquerers the 000franc-a-day indemnity and appalled, by nearly 1000 Frenchmen held prisoners of war In the Reich Recognizing the dilemma and degradation ot France one finds ii difficult to understand the process of reasoning that leads any loyal Frenchman to eX- pect to restore French honor and prestige through an alliance with Hitler.

Moisture Is Used For Burns
Discoverer of Sugar-Rod "Darning Eggs for Torn Blood Vessels, Dr. Sidney Smith, Jr, Reveals
 New Treatment For Burns

CHICAGO-Dr. Sidney Smith, Jr4 scientific prize winner undergraduate for his discovery of su ua~ rod darning eggs for sewing torn blood vessels hes revealed new treatment for serious burns In hess for masters degree he Rush Medical College grad Uate recommended warm, moist air treatment-'a ar ointment -insead of the common chemicals now use for serious burns.
 Smith has been engaged in research at the Univer- sy of Chicago for the past two years Two years a9a as junior he won the Harry Ginsburg Memorial pr49 for nVentng the sugar-rod alarming egg" He solved the knotty problem of sewing the delicate tissue of 2 jured blood vessels by the use of sugar rods to ho the tiny tubes firm during the operation. The ro6e inserted into the torn ends of the blood vessel to be patched, dissolve in the hood stream after the sega. edges of the tube are stitched

Says Lesscns Infection

Smiths theory for the treatment of burns result ed from his recent experiments with rats in which # discovered that warm moist air proved superior 10 picatons of tannc acid and butesn picrae ointment Neither tannic acid butesin p.crate ointment po- ssess specific accelerative healing action the basis ot experiments, Smith reported It seems their man function is 10 provide nsoIube coagulan over tha wound, he added
 Infection under the coagulant produced by tam acid has been exported many times and constitutes t1 chief objection to it's use medicine, Smith asserted
 Alkalinity Delays Healing
 Four weeks of experiments with rats showed that 70 to 82 percent Of the animals given the air ointment healed compared to 63 percent given the butesn pcrate and only 48 percent given the annc acid Com bnation of the air ointment with either of other agents did not improve the rate of healing
 Smith tested his method by enclosing the burn ed surface in a humidity chamber which was kept al 90 degrees Fahrenheit He found that debris of the wound softened and sloughed off within five days ceerating the healing action
 Alkainity of tissue is regarded important in pro- noting infection, and dryness brings about akalnity, Smith pointed out. He explained that by preventing dryness his moist air avoids the chef factor delaying wound healing'

"It's like this, fellas. We gotta
win the war. And we got a cause.
Well fight to preserve the freedom
of the road along with the other
four freedoms.
Now, we gotta organize. Lots of
hoboes want to work, and lots of
them are skilled workers. So what?
So We'll work But we don't want
the kind of work that keeps us in
one place all the time. We gotta be
on the move or we'll die.
SO I propose that we send wire

Of the Kings arrival and the Greek

with . twofold purpose: To sup

Iraq has q prize and fear. the
