The term press people" like

is strictly English.
/ think Mrs. Roosevelt should
have said "one of our own news
paper correspondents"
However, the way men in the
newspaper business like to- be
referred to is as "a newspaper
man."
My friend, Jack Singer, who
lost his life while acting as a
correspondent in the Pacific, was
very fond of the term news
paperman.'
I am certain he would shudder
at being referred to as "a press
person in uniform" l guess I'll
have to write Mrs. Roosevelt a
letter about this.
Maybe she was just trying to
act and speak in England as the
English do.

In fact, the population must
now be upwards of 100000

as 25 or 80 miles from the heart

And it was before the indus

suddenly zoomed to well-nigh
incredible numbers because of
the demands of the most i'm
portant of our war enterprises,
the making of planes.
Hence, it is easy to see how
a gas rationing under which
other communities less widely
distributed and with greater rail
transportation might struggle
along, would wreck the business
and industrial setup of Los
Angeles.
Many OF the industrial work

from the plants, and the major

years of new, perfected, final
treatment for burns which casts
all other forms of treatment
into the ash can.
IN READING a review by a
i surgeon OF enormous expert
ence in nay this weeks medical
journal. 1 am impressed with
the point that he does not rely
on any one treatment and, in
fact. is very skeptical of the
new treatments.
The first things the amateur,
modern First Alder thinks of in
treating an emergency burn are
sulfa powder. tannic acid or
grease of some kind.
But to the contrary, this first
aid advice says:
do not apply tannic acid or
Jelly or strong tea to . burn
until after the burn has been
properly cleaned by a doctor.
do not apply grease In any
FORM"
THE foremost and primary
l. rule in the first aid treat
ment of severe burns is:
Treat all burned patients for
shock"
Even doctors don't know that
one.
heard OF two internes
puzzled by what to do for a
badly burned patient brought to
a hospital, when another came
along and said:
I'D give him some morphine"
This was a surprise to the
others.
Further first aid advice:
For extensive burns cover the
patient with both clean sheet
and blankets; send the victim TO
a hospital Immediately.
Keep the patient warm. Give
hot tea or coffee by mouth.
Do not move the patient
about in an attempt to put on a
neat bandage.

part of the government to GER

One method of solving the
Los Angeles problem that may
work out is a share-the-ride
plan by which one car owner
will pick up neighbors going his
way one week and another car
owner do the same thing the
next week.
l believe this scheme is not
widely approved with respect to
transporting persons not known
to the car owners because of the
fear of stick-ups and things like
that.
The old boyle Of the pickup
passenger, an accident which
can kick back on the car, owner
if the passenger is hurt, has
been dissipated to some extent
by the insurance companies
waving with reference to de-
tense workers. But that does
not apply to- just anybody. so
you see helpful owner still has
something to worry about.

WHAT I am trying to get at

up most of the activities of
mankind, and as they are,
fundamentally, one and the

Better Health

Under ordinary. quiet peace
~ time conditions more than
5000 persons die in North Amer
lea every year from burns.
How many thousands were
injured or were permanently
disfigured or deformed never
has been calculated.
In wartime these figures will
be increased, first, on account
of increased industry and its
hazards and second, the as yet
remote possibility of chemical
burns.
While officially classified as
accidental" the civil death list
from burns could much more
accurately be put down to care
lessness.
Accidental burns are those re-
sulting from highway accidents
or times when a machine goes
haywire.
But most burns result when
a human being, not the ma
chine, goes haywire.
AS WITH other examples OF
"A carelessness, the most dan
gerous place is the home.
During peace time SO per cent
OF all burns occur in the home,
10 per cent in industry. and Z

home naturally increases in the
fall and winter.
