BIRTHDAY DINNER

Peter S. Collins, one of our old
and we'll esteemed citizens, reached
his 82nl birthday on Frilay, the
first day of the new year. 1t has
been his custom for a number of
years to observe his birthday by q
New Years family dinner. his chill
dren making it a point to be with
him on that day. His health has
been growing feeble for some
weeks. and his children feared the
congregating of so many in the
house might overtax his strength
but he insisted in having one more
family reunion. His wish was
gratified to the pleasure of all, and
with no perceptible bad effect on
him.

DRAFT DELAYS
FOR STUDENTS
Men Preparing for Fields
Where Shortages Exist
Only Ones Deferred
AGREED UPON BY BOARD

College students preparing them
selves for occupations in which
there are shortages of men are still
being deferred by draft boards, ac-
cording to Delaware selective SER
vice headquarters and draft boards
in three surrounding states. How
ever it was pointed out, deferment
is not granted to such students as
a class, but on the individual mer-
its of each case. Furthermore,
students deferred must have salts
factory college records. Out-of-
state boards consulted on defer.
faent policy were those atv Wess
Chester, Pa, PENIS Grove, N. J.,
and Havre de Grace, Md. It was
generally agreed that selection of
occupations in which shortages ex-
ist was up to the various boards,
but all said that they follow closely
instructions sent out by national
selective service headquarters. One
board said that local industry was
consulted in addition to determine
local needs. In addition to grant
ing deferments, the boards also
permit shorter postponements of
induction when students have only
few weeks remaining before the
end of the semester or quarter.
Postponements are not granted for
longer periods, however, the boards
stated. They pointed out that stu
dents were advised in September
not to return to college before de-
termining when they were likely to
be called up. State selective SER
vice headquarters pointed out that

Prompt Treatment
Recommended For
Anemia Patients

THE presence of a nun down
i condition, pale complexion,
and a listless attitude is all too fire.
quently hastily diagnosed by anna
teurs as anemia. Actually anemia
is much more important than this.
Either it is condition resulting
from specific causes which must be
treated concurrently with the ane-
mia, or it is serious disease-per-
nicious anemia.
With an eye to informing the gen.
eral public of the causes, effects, and
treatment of this not uncommon all
ment, Maxine Davis has written for
the October Good Housekeeping
magazine an enlightening treatise
on the subject in terms understand
able to the laymen. The basic cause
of pernicious anemia, Miss Davis
says, is due to deficiency in the body
of material derived from food.
The disease attacks insidiously,
causing a languor at first, then di-
gestive trouble, and a soreness which
may extend from the tongue to the
stomach. Many cases, Miss Davis
explains, are accompanied by disor-
ders Of the nervous system and a
loss of the vibration sense. These
vague symptoms make it difficult
for doctors to pronounce a correct
diagnosis, but once its presence has
| been determined, prompt treatment
is urged.
Liver, reports Miss Davis, is ad-
ministered, usually by injection, to
counteract the effects of the disease
but each case requires a different
amount to keep the blood at q nor
NAL state. Like diabetes, pernicious
anemia must be treated throughout
life, for while the damage may not
Be repaired it can be halted.

BALTIMORE, MD.-With $4,000
new airplane workers pouring like
an autumn flood into Baltimore to
help swell the flow of Martin bonn
bers, houses to shelter the men and
their families have become almost
as important to national defense
as plane motors and machine suns-
To help its new employees, The
Glenn L. Martin Company is now
completing 600 four and one-half
room houses near its huge plants;
and another 1000 are planned for
immediate erection. More than 400
are already occupied by families
who previously were forced to live
in roadside trailers or in quarters
as much as 15 to 20 miles from
their work. In all, Mr.. Martin esti-
mates, a village of 125,000 people
will be built within a two and one
half mile radius of the Martin
plants.
Built by 5 Men In Hours
To meet the urgent need, a new
kind Of dwelling has been built.
Called the Cemesto house, its foun-
dation, walls, doors, windows and
roof can be put up by five men in
only seven hours. Partitions, trim,
plumbing and kitchen equipment
require further time; but the dwell.

Professor Finds That

STATE COLLEGE, PA.-Automo-
biles are habit-forming, Charles S.
Wyand. assistant professor of eco-
nomics at Pennsylvania State COL
lege. believes.
Wyand is making a study in an
attempt to determine what makes
people trade in their old cars for new
ones.
1T is easier to postpone buying
ones first car than it is to postpone
replacing an old one," Wyand said.
1.-The new buyer is more likely to
fear depressions and economic in
security than one who has owned a
car"
