Actual Exhibits

These exhibits, entirely nom
commercial in character, are set
up by private doctors to show the
work they have been doing in their
home town hospitals, clinics or
laboratory. BY actual demonstra-
tons or photographs, in many
cases beautiful and elaborate
drawings. and small motion pic
ture exhibits, the new ideas are
shown in succession of booths
like a glorihed county fair, on the
basis that one look at an actual
demonstration is worth more than
1000 words read from any manu-
script.

would like to 20 see i for himself.
But he hears of five or six of these
during the year; and when he gets
to the American Medical Associa-
ton meeting he finds that they all
have been brought together under
one roof. The demonstrators are
physicians in private practice who
have developed the method, and
have pledged themselves to stay in
their booth at the exhibition hall
every hour it is open and explain
all the details TO doctors.

Details Of fresh damage inflicted
on Japanese sea forces were awaited
here last night after the Navy an
nounced that American aircraft
from Guadalcanal Island had at
tackled enemy surface units in the
Central Solomons.
The assault was carried out Thurs
day by dive bombers and torpedo
planes. the deadly aerial combina-
ton which has dealt many heavy
blows to Jap naval units in the past.
A Navy communique, which fixed
the locale Of the action as $50 miles
northwest Of Guadalcanal, prob
ably between New Georgia and
Santa Isabel Islands, said results
were not known pending further
reports from the Solomons.
Beyond reporting the air attack
on Japan's surface vessels in the
Central Solomons, yesterdays COM
munique said that on Guadalcanal
itself, II Japanese were killed Fri
day by American patrol action.

The Red Cross reported that 1t

1000 additional packages were en-

The Legation said, however, that

Sweden Sends Food.
Although the Firms said the diet
OF prisoners was the same as that
Of the Finnish people, the allow
ance in Finland is only 1890 calories
for ordinary civilians and 2,760
calories for those doing the heaviest
work. These allowances compare
with the 5000 calories which the
World Almanac gives as q mini
mum need.
For some time reports from Fin
land have told Of lack Of variety In
the Finnish diet. A year ago Firms

practically non-existent and that
many other things were lacking.

pacity far inferior to our own.
Military genius does not consist
in dogged adherence to chosen line
Of action long after the possibility Of
decisive success has disappeared
and when persistence can do no
more than offer increasing advan-
tages to the enemy.
The Japanese have shown that
they are capable of making a good
plan and carrying 1t out once made.
But they have also shown that they
are totally lacking in that flexibility
of mind necessary to take advantage
OF unforeseen opportunities or to
deal with unforeseen difficulties.
After Pearl Harbor they had one
Of the greatest opportunities in
military history, but they had
planned Pearl Harbor as a raid to
delay our naval interference with
their plans for attacks on the Philip
pines, Malaga and the Netherlands
Indies. They were incapable Of
changing these plans for a full-scale
attack on the Hawaiian Islands
which would have paralyzed us in
the Pacific and enabled them not
only to make all their southern
gains subsequently but also would
have made it impossible for us to
support Australia and New Zealand.
The naval advantage they gained
at Pearl Harbor they have in large
part frittered away by their sense

An additional 5000 have died
