DIABETES RAREI
 TN YOUNG PEOPLE.
Careful Regimen Length- ems Life of Diabetic
 Cases Claims Doctor

Longevity for persons afflicted with diabetes requires complete daily adherence to 8 suitable hygi- enic program laid down by their physicians, Matthew H. Griswold, MD. chief, devision of cancer re- search, emphasizes in the monthly bulletin of the state department of health. Only by means of a properly adjusted diet can the most efficient use be made of the insulin manu- factured by the body or received through prescribed injection.
 Doctor Griswold explains that an important predisposing factor to diabetes is a diabetic heritage. The disease is rare in young people, be- comes more frequent in the middle decades and is commonest in later life.
 Diabetics and persons related to diabetics, particularly, should guard against overweight, he says. Even young descendants of diabetics should avoid fatness. During mid dle and later life, diabetics and an absolute rule of keeping their their blood relatives should make weight within normal limits. Never should the diabetic who is on a diet and taking insulin alter any phase of the treatment schedule unless the change is advised by physician. Injudicious us eof insulin is dan- gerouS.
 Diabetics should be the cleanest persons in community and pay special heed to breaks in the skin and minor infections, according to Doctor GriSwold. To prevent lower ing of the body resistance to infec- tions the disease must be kept un- der constant control. Diabetics are most susceptible to infections of the skin and urinary tract. Pulmonary tuberculosis is more common in this group than in other persons of similar age. Carbuncle is serious complication of diabetes.
 Leading authorities estimate that there are at least 50O,000 diabetics now living in the United States. It is known that the disease Is increaS- ing. One of the chief reasons for this rise, Doctor Griswold says, is that more people are reaching the ages of greatest frequency for dia- betes. About two-thirds of all dia- bette cases begin after forty years of age, and there are now nearly three times as many people over this age as there were in 1890. An- othr factor is that better diagnos- tic facilities are available and speci- tic treatment is saving many diabe- tics from premature death.

officer made demand for delivery of the 50 shares, according to the writ.
 Mrs. Hodson states that the de- fendant claimed he was unable to comply with the order at that time because his certificate, consisting of 83 shares was in the custody of William K. LaWlor, his brother-in- law. Later, however, the defend- ant, MT. Hodson, executed a written assignment of 50 shares of stock to the plaintiff and directed MT. LaWlor to deliver his 83 shares to the secre- tary of the corporation for issuance of two new certificates-one of 50 shares for Mrs. Hodson and one of B shares for himself.
 A copy of the assignment was served June 4 on MT. Lawlor and on Mrs Ella Hodson Hinchey, sec retary of the company, and demand was made for delivery, according to the complaint. Since that time, on July 23, demand has been made in writing, by registered mail for de- livery but the defendants have re- fused to comply, Mrs. Hodson com plains.
 In addition to damages of $25 900, Mrs. Hodson seeks an order enjoin- ing MT. Law1of from selling or otherwise disposing of the stock and an order that he be compelled to deliver the stock to MT. Hodson. The plaintiff also requests that MT. Hod- son be ordered to deliver the stock to the secretary for accomplishment of the purpose set out in the as- signment.

WAR PRODUCTION
 NOT FAST ENOUGH
Some Items Are Ahead of Schedule, But Others
 Are Far Behind
By KILLER KRETGHBAUM

United Press Staff COrrespOndent)
 Washington, Aug. 4-(UP)-War Production Board officials checked the war implements output today and found that while production of some items was far ahead of sched- ule, the general picture was none too rosy.
 The survey showed:
 That ill seven months few items have virtually reached the goals set for the entire year.
 That some phases of the program were tagging far behind schedule, in some cases production being only 10 per cent of 1942 goals.
 WIPE representative did not break the figures down into num- bers of planes, tanks, guns and ships. But they did say that produc- tion of some types of shell castings and various types of Army trucks were far ahead of schedule.
 The officials said "selective pres- sures" were being put behind those parts of the program behind sched- ule so President Roosevelt's major production goals would be attained. The fact that some war materials are ahead of schedule and others behind indicates that there is an "unbalance" in the production eff fort they said, which is one of WIPES major problems at the mo- ment.
 As one method of melting that problem, it was learned that Ern- est Kanzler, former Ford motor company executive. soon would be placed in charge of the scheduling, or balancing, of war materials. WIPE Chairman Donald M. Nelson is ex- pected to name Kanzler as one of his two deputy chairmen. The other is William l.. Bait.
 Completes Group
 Handlers elevation from his pres ent job as chief of WIPES automo- tive branch will complete the reor- ganization which Nelson began sev- eral weeks ago to put WIPE on a more efficient operating basis.
 Where production of war items Is ahead of schedule. it is probable that the output will be decreased or perhaps even halted altogether un- til the entire program is brought more nearly into balance.
 For example, a WIPE official said that one war plant was running 1900 per cent ahead of schedule. This concern probably will have to close in the near future because there is not enough material to take care of all the factories now working or those soon to be in pro- duction.

 The U. s. Marines never have been long on talk, preferring to let their actions speak for them. StiIl, a foreign language does come fin handy sometimes, and recent dispatches report that the Leathernecks are studying Japa- neSe. To give you an idea of what
 Jap jabber Is like, we asked a Japanese teacher to translate a few common expressions that the Marines would need to know. Numbers refer to Japanese ideO- graphs at right:
 Naturally, the first Japanese word the Marines are going to use Is ~SURRENDER!" Q)
 When the Japs comply, the Americans will demand: WHO IS THE COMMANDER HERE?" (2)
 Tn their eagerness not to seem recalcitrant, all the Jap prisoners speak at once, and so the Marines tell them to SHUT UP!" (3)
 The Jap commander is ordered to march his m n to the nearest prison camp. Their job done, the Marines ask the old service ques- tion: WHEN DO WE EAT?" (4)
 Having dined in Tokyo's best res- taurant, they ask the waitress: WHICH WAY TO THE MOVIES?" (5)
 At the theater they find that the picture is in German (which other Marines are studying), so they nat urally demand: WHAT'S GOING ON AROUND HERE?" (6)
 Unable to find anything but Ger man or Italian movies, they decide to call it a day. Just before turn Ing in, they write postcards to the one-and-Only, informing her, nat orally, that THE SITUATION IS WELL IN HAND" @
 Tn case you're interested in learn- Ing these Jap words yourself. here are the phonetic accommodations of 5fose pictured. Remember that Japs write from top to bottom, read from right to left.

Court Demands Weekly Payment of SIP for ChiI.
 dren's Support

John Mahopey of Waterbury was ordered by Superior Court Judge John Rufus Booth yestreday to pay $12 weekly to his divorced wife, Mrs. Esther Mahoney Leblanc, also of this city, for the support of four minor children or face the alterna- tive of going to jail. The case was continued for another week to de- termine if the payments will be made.
 Charges of contempt had been en- tered against the man who was said to owe over $500 in back payments to his wife. When the divorce was granted last Feb. 6, he was ordered to pay SIS per week and in July was committed to jail for failure to make payments. A month ago he was re- leased from jail when 1t was learn- ed the papers used to commit him were improperly served and he had been confined illegally.
 Judge Booth said the accused man could be sent to jail today for contempt but that there would be no advantage to his children If that were done. The SIP allowance was approved at the suggestion of the accused man with the understanding the payments will be increased when he is able to meet them. He testi- fled he earned about $50 per week since he obtained g job two weeks ago and needed about SIS for live ing expenses.
