teachers, others were lawyers, musi-
clans, dental technicians. Only one

Give Public Whole Truth
On War, GanneH Demands
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-Frank E.
Gannett, publisher Of the Gannett
newspapers, said yesterday 'the
American people have shown that
they can stand bad news" and urged
that the government give them the
whole truth" instead Of what he
termed partial reports.
He said In radio talk that the
people could depend on finding the
truth in offlcial statements but
what we cannot depend upon is
that it is the whole truth"
THE American people" Mr.. Gan
nett asserted, will resent any at
tempt to influence them with propa-
ganda. - Outright propaganda
has lost It's punch. We have be-
come conditioned to 1t.

Japs do not frighten us. We laugh

Two Capital Homes
First 10 Get Defense
" Stickers
Residences Found
Fully Equipped to
Meet Air Roids

The first V-Home stickers in the
Nation were up in the windows of
two Mount Pleasant residents to-
day as the District awaited its first
large shipment of the insignia
which recognizes homes in the war
effort.
First to get the awards were a
brother of 1t. Gen. Delos c. En-
mons, commander of the Hawaiian
Department of the United States
Army, and foreign-born pianist
composer. They were selected at
the request of national OCD, which
wanted its first pictures of homes
with the v-Home stickers taken In
Washington.
Many Homes Qualified.
Thousands of other homes have
been checked by AFRAID wardens
and are qualified for the award
given homes where adequate air
raid precautions have been taken
and residents are making regular
wan bond and stamp purchases, con-
serving food and clothes, assisting
in the salvage drive and are gen.
orally taking part in the war effort.
One of the households now dis
playing the sticker is the home OF
Howard w. Emmons, brother OF
Gen. Emmons The Emmons home
is at 3446 Brown street NV Mr..
Emmons, an aviator in the World
War, is now with the War Produc-
tion Board and is an air-raid warden
In the Mount Pleasant area.
The other home is that of the
Bartnovsky family at 1901 Brown
street NV. Alexander Bartnovsky,
who plays the piano at the Madrillon
and l'E.scargot, served with the Rus
sian Army in the World War.
Equipped for Blackouts.
In both homes the children are
air-raid warden messengers. Both
homes have arranged blackout de-
vices so that they can go on with
their normal living during black
cut. One home has refuge room in
the basement and the other has the
whole house blacked out. In the
Enmons home, hose for fighting in
cendiary bombs can be taken to any
part Of the house, while the Bart
novsky home is equipped with pals
of sand.
Awarded a sticker for business
establishments was Miss Estelle
Brown, resident manager of the
apartment house at 3435 Brown
street NV. Besides blacking out
the apartment skylight and install
ing buckets of sand and hose, Miss
Brown is a first-aid worker.
The awards were presented by
Robert E. McCord, 3411 Brown street
NV, q senior warden In the Mount
Pleasant area, after he had In
spected each establishment.

Relief Rolls Here Rise
Despite Employment Gain

Although employment in the Dis
trict is at an all-time high, the
number Of persons on relief rolls
was slightly greater last month than
in December, 1910. q report of the
public assistance division, Board Of
Public Welfare, showed yesterday.
The report, issued by Conrad Van
Hyning, director Of the board, said
there were 6,902 families receiving
assistance in December, 1941, As
compared with 6,625 in December,
1910.
The increase was attributed to q
rise in the number of aged persons
blind persons and dependent chill
dren receiving relief.
The report shows that Of those
receiving relief last December, $3.50
were over IS years old. This COM
pared with 3.419 in this class who
received relief in the December pre-
ceding In addition. there were ass
blind persons receiving aid as COM
pared with 224 in December, 1910.

Nv LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Damp easements and dark spots
afforded just the right situations
:or those greatly feared insects, the
house centipedes. They are per-
fectlv harmless, but what house
holder cares to be told this, when
the yerv sight of one of these many
legged creatures sends chllls racing
up and down the spine.
II YOU were asked to describe the
resident of your garage, woodhouse,
cellar or any spot where these small
animals reside, could you recall the
vormlike body of an inch or more
in length, or would you only remem-
ber the pair of long antennae and
the many very long legs? There
are IS pairs to be exact.
The body of the centipede is a
erayish yellow-the color OF dust.
II is a distinct advantage to the
crea ture to have such an inconsplcu-
ous shade. There are three longtl-
tudinal dark stripes, and the nu-
merous legs are banded with white.
The laws do appear formidable, but
they are so weak they cannot harm
your skin. Try as hard as the orav-
est of them will, it would be most
difficult for one to inflict wound by
penetrating the skin.
Centipedes are very fragile. Ihe
slightest contact with your broom
or flv swatter will reduce them to
mass Of dismembered legs which re-
semble threads or skeins OF WOOL
In trying to make get away, they
run rapidly, holding their body
slightly elevated above the surface
over which they are travelling. They
come to a sudden stop. remain mo-
tionless, then race to hiding place.
I have seen frightened maids and
housewives try to kill a large cent?
pede by drowning 1t when they have
found one in the sink. Unless the
water is hot, the little racer seems
90 be able to stand quite few water
attacks. But the slightest pressure
upon it reduces it to a wrlggllng
mass that soon quiets down.
1t is a pity that so little is known
a3out these occupants OF your
dwelling. They are carnivorous,
feeding upon moths. flies, spiders,
,ockroaches and other small crea-
lures.
Coming in contact with their own
foes, they are usually capable of
making their escape. Perhaps leg
or two will have to be sacrificed,
out that is minor matter, since
the owner can in time grow another
pair Of good sturdy legs to replace
those cast away in squirt for free
dom. 1t has been repeatedly re-
ported that fleeing centipede has
been known to throw of q pair OF

There was usually damage to lungs,
which were squeezed until they
bled. Occasionally there was dam
age in other organs, including The
liver and intestif1es.
Beyond 20 feet, no animal was
killed. Most of them were quieter
than before the explosion. Some
showed signs of breathing troubles
temporarily.
These experiments, along with
autopsies on humans similarly killed.
led physicians to conclude that some
factor other than lung damage plays
part. This factor is held to apply
both in the deaths and In the COL
lapse at a distance from the bomb.
This factor is still a mystery, but
an explanation is the sudden accel-
Grafton Of the head, as the body is
moved by the air wave from the
explosion. There are animal ex-
periments to support this belief.
This view holds that conclusion
of the brain is due, not to the blow
on the head, but to the sudden ac-
celeration resulting from the blow.
The supporting experiments were
done by Drs. D. Denny Brown and
Ritchie Russell.
Tried on Animals.
They struck animals heads with
carefully regulated pendulum,
which moved the head When the
pendulum struck at less than 20
feet a second, which is a little less
than II miles an hour, no signs of
trouble were seen.
But at around "a feet a second,
or Is miles an hour, the animals
had conclusion. Their pulse rates
slowed, blood pressure fell breath
ing was quick and shallow, they
were unable to do anything.
They resembled the shock state Of
persons found knocked out at
distance from bomb explosions.
The medical guess at present is
that the source of this kind of
death and shock lies in disorgan-
ization of the blood vessels. The
direct pressure Of an explosion wave
would not necessarily have to be
the reason. The brain itself might
be affected, so that its nerve CEN
tiers lost control of the intricate
blood vessel system.
The shocked persons sometimes
develop nervous and mental
troubles. Some of these have been
greatly benefited by taking the
synthetic male sex hormone, tes-
tosterone propionate.
