les. The important thing is to
catch them in the early stages and
prevent their spread from one child
to another.
Scabies
Scabies, commonly known as
"the itch," is caused by a parasite
so small that it cannot be seen by
the naked eye. 1t burrows into the
outer layers of the skin and pro-
duces an irritation which results in
intense itching-usually worse at
night when the body is warm in
bed. 1t is particularly likely to af-
feet the spaces between the fingers,
the regions of the wrists, the arm
pits, the lower wherever
the skin is soft and thin.
Small pimples and blisters APP
pear at the burrows. The principle
triuble comes from scratching,
which results in infection, which
may be quite severe. AS a rule
scabies are relatively easily cured
by use of ointments which destroy
the parasite. Following the use of
the ointment all clothing and bed
ding should be sterilized by boiling,
or by dry cleaning.
Impetigo
Impetigo is very infectious
(catching) disease of the skin caus-
ed by germ and readily transmit
ted from one child to another by
close contact. Redeemed areas first
appear on the skin, usually on the
face, and are quickly followed by
thin-walled blistered filled with a
clear liquid. The fluid soon be-
comes yellow and the blisters burst
and dry to form pale yellow crusts.
Cleanliness is of the utmost i'm
lportance in treatment. The skin
must be scrubbed with soap and

Head Lice-(Pediculosis)
Children are much more fire.
4uently attached by head lice than
are adults, particularly children
with long hair. Any itching of the
head should be investigated, as the
only symptoms are this and the
finding of the nots or eggs, and the
parasites.
The eggs appear small whitish,
gray scales, seemingly glued to the
hairs near the scalp, or deposited in
The folds of the clothing. These
eggs hatch in from 4 to Z days and
become capable of reproduction in
less than a month. Treatments
which kill the lice do not ordinarily
destroy the eggs and hence must be
repeated in week or ten days in
order to destroy the lice which
have Matched in the meanwhile.

1ish when filled with blood) and

The legs are provided with crab

tribution tC its planning.

The Third Precinct Copper is
mimeographed paper put out now
and then by the auxiliary policemen
who work out of the station house
on K street NV. near Twentieth
street.
If you want more evidence Of the
esprit de- corps that binds the VOL
unteer guardians of this precinct
and is typical of auxiliaries all over
town, it may be recalled that in a
room at the station set aside for
their use No. 3 men needed some
equipment to facilitate their work
There wasn't any money TO buy
anything. So one auxiliary con-
tributed mimeograph machine
Another showed up with an adresso-
graph. Others built filing cabinet,
put up a neat bulletin board and
drew map of the emergency beats.
And now it's one of the best equipped
headquarters in the city.
1t should be borne in mind that
auxiliaries are unpaid. that they're
giving generously of their time as
a civic duty in Capital at war
This might be considered enough
But many OF them have dug into
their pockets to make their service
more efficient.
Letter From Captain.
The commanding officer, Capt.
Oscar J. Letterman. wrote in an
early issue of the Third Precinct
Copper:
Just an example of the sacrifice
and whole-hearted enthusiasm
which you men are showing is very
thoroughly demonstrated by the
fact that one of our auxiliary Off
GERS, an employe in a private busi-
ness himself. working on a salary,
is paying substitute from his own
pocket to work for him while he
completes his % hours of required
training"
Police Inspector Milton D. Smith
ing the No. 3 auxiliaries for their
courteous efficiency in controlling
the lines around a large fire, and
the inspector added. In this
troubled time, We are prone to criti-
cize rather than to commend. but
l feel that I would be remiss in my
duties if I did not convey to you
my appreciation for the services
rendered by the auxiliary police of
your precinct, Not only do they
reflect credit on themselves. but it
is a definite indication that they
have received the proper training
and are familiar with the RESPONSE
bilities and duties which they have
assumed"
Come From Many Fields.
This precinct embraces the Medi
cal Center Buildings, Riverside
Stadium, Is Embassies. even the
White House. It's volunteer police

Before the wings were pinned on
his chest by Capt. Don M Hamilton,
establishing the new glider pilot in

strated to the crowd the technique
of handling the motorless craft.
Towed aloft by an Army laision
plane. the pilot cut loose over the
airport, circled and landed his glider
to come TO a stop within a few feet

The Air Force recruits were sworn

Third Precinct Auxiliary Police
Publish Own Newspaper
Example Of Esprit de Corps Is Shown
By Action in Equppne Headquarters

DR.. George H. Crofton. practlcing
physician. is sergeant and in
structor in first aid But DR.. Croft
ton doesn't consider this quite
enough, so he also does regular
police duty on the streets.
Some men have put in as much as
900 hours individually since the
force was organized. The auxiliary
officers have worked an average of
more than 500.
Examples of the skill with which
the approXlmately $50 auxiliaries of
this precinct have performed would
make a long list. Citing a single
instance, officers Clarence H.
Fletcher and Frederick Robinson,
both colored. were on duty at
Twentieth and F streets NV. when
they observed youth in the next
block who didn't look as if he
wanted TO be watched. They sepa-
rated and lounged about, as if un-
/ concerned. The young man opened
an automobile door and was search
ing the glove compartment when
the auxiliaries closed in on him.
Instructed on Bombs.
The No. auxiliaries are in
structed on bombs and gas by K. c..
Mccormick. a regular police SER
geant, a graduate of Edgewood Ar
senal School. 1t G. A. Wallrodt di-
rects auxiliary work. with the aid of
Policeman Charley c. johnson.
Officer J. M. Costello was in the
auxiliary Office during its early
months.
Thefts from cars, pOcketbook
snatchings and other petty crimes
which were prevalent on some
streets have been reluced materially
Capt. Letterman figures this is due
to the presence of auxiliaries in con-
siderable number, especially at
night.
The mere fact that the volunteers
are on the job. the officer pointed
out, is a deterrent to those with
criminal intent Thieves don't know
the auXiliaries and are unaware of
their beats and habits, he explained.
lIlC vi llllS
have been particularly effective in
practice blackouts. Of their value
in an actual raid not a regular po-
liceman in the section has the slight
est doubt.
Walter F Wasson. who owns and
manages properties and is president
of the West End Citizens ASsocia-
ton, is captain of third precinct
auXiliaries, and he has three lieu
tenants and six sergeants.
Capt. Wasson pointed out that
many of the auxiliaries are on fixed
posts, such as George Washington
University, and were doing effective
work, and those available for gen.
eral police work, between $50 and
l80, are putting in more time on
the streets and at the station. The
captain himself would need couple
of adding machines to figure up the
time he has donated as a civic duty

The Army veteran, known to old

him when he reported for duty.
He obtained temporary badge,

like a suspicious character"
The oldtimer looked in the direc-
tion of the pointing finger and
laughed.

ties at headquarters for l3 years.
