maneuvers the fingers and fin
gernail beds are likely to become
infected with small Assesses
which are transferred to the
other parts of the skin by con-
tact and by scratching.
So medical officers are par
ticularly alert to treat these ap-
parently trivial infections in
their incipiency.
Scabies-the itch-we will al
ways have with us probably.
And no wonder. If you con-
slider the enterprise of the fe-
male was an interval of eight
days, and she begins to lay eggs
"a hours after maturity and lays
two eggs a day for so days.
To compute that requires To-
garithms rather than the multi
plication table.
You may think Of the itch as
a minor annoyance, but it caused
the loss OF $4,000 active service
days in 1917-1919.
IN this war troops are in lands
L with tropical insects and vege-
tation.

mango itch, koong palm, pung-a-
pung rash. dumayaka foot, fish

Perhaps after this war the
boys will feel that returning to
a civilization that provides only
eczema and hives will be too
tame an existence, and the
cream of our dermatologic spe-
cialists will be found sitting
under cocoanut trees on some
coral atoll. languidly advising a
girl in a sarong to put some zinc
oxide on her lipany-kalaboa.

Merchant Marine
Unsung Heroes

In other wars, the distances
the merchant marine had to
travel were comparatively short.
Today, the cargo boats must
carry their precious burdens to
the most remote corners Of the
world, often unattended.
The merchant marine Is the
lifeline Of the armies and Of
vast civilian populations, too.
It's roll Of dead Is proportion
ately greater than that Of the
armies and navies Of all the
Allies, yet 1t carries on un-
daunted.
TN THE cold deeps of the North
Il Atlantic and In the warm
waters Of the Caribbean lie hun
dreds and hundreds Of the dead
of the merchant marine yet the
living 90 on sailing their ships
to their appointed destinations
with high courage and matchless
devotion to flag and country.
And yet as I look around me,
I fail to see that anything Is be-
ing done ashore for these men In
the way of public attention such
as is given soldiers and sailors
that might let them know that
they are appreciated.
The men of the merchant ma
rine have placed a halo Of glory
on their service In this war and
they are entitled to more recog-
milton than they are now receiv-
ing.

She should have the width of

What is the origin Of the

The Brighter Side

WHENEVER I read an item
w telling of the sinking of a
merchant ship, or see a news
reel depletion of such a disaster,
the thought comes to my mind
that the unsung heroes of this
war are the members of the
merchant marine.
They are the gallant men who
sail the seven seas in the YES
sells that carry supplies to the
farflung armies.
They are men who often die
without benefit of military or
naval glory, their fate some
times unknown for months and
then dismissed in a few brief
newspaper lines.
They 60 down to death in re-
mote waters, victims OF the
hyenas of the sea, with no
chance to fight back, or they
drift aimlessly for days and
weeks in open boats suffering
the most incredible privations.
7 SPEAK here not only Of our
Il own bold Americans but for
the seamen of all our Allies
the British, the Australians, the
Norwegians, the Dutch, the
South Americans and all the
rest.
They are the front line SOL
diers of the sea, their weapons
their own skill and courage in
taking the cargo boats through.
Without them we could not
hope to win the war.

greater demonstration of forti-
tude than is now being presented
by the men of the merchant
marine.
In the last war theirs was a
task desperate enough when the
submarines and mines and the
surface raiders of the kaiser
were the great hazards, but to-
day these hazards have vastly
increased.
The subs of three enemy ma
tons are always on the prowl
in nearly all the waters of the
earth in 10 times greater num-
bers than before. The surface
menace is infinitely greater, and
mines remain, and worst of all
is the danger from the air.
THE wi d e ranging en- envy
l. hawks are everywhere con-
stantly on the lookout for the
slow-moving merchant vessels
which without conveys are easy
prey from the air and which
even with convoy must go
through hell fire under attack.
The stories of the bravery of
the men of the merchant marine
in taking their ships to port
that are coming out of this war
are worthy of place with the
sagas of the bravest souls in
Valhalla.
The imperishable tale of Dun
kirk is pretty much a tale of the
merchant marine and the evacu-
alton of Crete is largely to its
credit.
