much. are likely suffering with in
lection. In fact, some orthopedic
physicians state that more than half
of painful feet are due to infection.
And when we think of the number of
bones and joints in the feet, in which
arthritis can get started, this is not
hard to understand.
However, there are great many
cases of painful feet due to bearing
the weight of the body.
In speaking of functional disorders
of the feet Chat is not due to dis
ease or infection) DR.. D. J. Morton,
New York, in the New York State
Journal of Medicine, states that the
commonest cause of pain in sole of
foot is because the inner bone of
the sole of the foot, corresponding
with big toe, is shorter than the 9TH
er four bones and the ligaments sup
porting it are loose or not as tight
as with the other bones in sole of
foot. Thus pain here is just like pain
in any other joint that is being con-
stantly strained. In other words i'm
proper weight distribution, too much
at this point, causes the pain.
Suggestions for treatment of pain
full feet are: ID less work or play
and weight bearing, (2) rest, (3)
many short rests during the day
with the legs and feet well support
ed at level of hips, az removal of
all irritation (corns, calluses, warts)
which cause the individual to put
his weight elsewhere when walking
and avoidance of badly fitting shoes,
(5) plunging feet first into hot and
then into cold water few times aft
er the days work is over to improve
the circulation.
DR.. Morton gives helpful work.
ing rule which is to assume Gin gen.
eraD that pain at top and sides of
the foot is likely caused by the shoe;
when pain is on the bottom of the
foot, the trouble is generally inside
the foot. An X-ray should be taken
from top of foot to sole of both
feet.

GAS:
FDR Yarns Ais

President Roosevelt served blunt
notice on the Axis that the use of
poison gas against any one of the
United Nations would result in swift
and full retaliation by the United
States with terrible consequences"
to enemy munitions centers, sea-
ports and other military detectives.
This was the third time in IL
months the President had warned
the Axis that the use of gas would
be fatal boomerang. He said evil
dence was "being reported with in
creasing frequency from a variety
of sources" that the enemy powers
were making Significant prepara-
tons" indicative of an intention to
use poisonous or noxious gases.
Observers who noted that the
Presidents warning was similar in
character to one issued by the Brit
ish government recently, believed he
had both Germany and Japan in
mind.

PLEDGE:
sEepIoitation's End

A world freed from international
exploitation was listed by President
Roosevelt as one of the postwar OBJ
jectives of the United Nations.
The President declared that bet
ter use of human and natural re-
sources must be assured in the post
war world if living standards are
raised, continuing, land I may add
the better use of these resources
without exploitation by any nation"
Speaking to delegates from the
recent United Nations Food confer
ence, Mr.. Roosevelt summed up
"our ultimate objective" in this
manner:
at is to build for ourselves
meaning all men, everywhere-a
world in which each individual hui
man being shall have the opportu-
nifty to live out his life in peace; to
work productivity, earning at least
enough for his actual needs and
those of his family; to associate
with the friends of his choice; to
think and worship freely; and to die
secure in the knowledge that his
children, and their children shall
have the same opportunities.

ARGENTINA:
Neutral for Present

The kaleidoscope revolt in Ar
gentina that had produced two new
presidents in almost as many days
had not shown the same speedy re-
suits with respect to the abolition
of Argentina's policy of neutrality
toward the Axis.
This latter was evident when the
government of President Pedro
Ramirez was pledged to an inter-
national policy of neutrality for the
present" and ''loyal cooperation
with nations of the Americas in con-
formance with existing pacts."
The Ramirez regime succeeded
the brief provisional government of
Gen. Arturo Rawson, who resigned
after ousting isolationist President
Ramon S. Castillo in an army-sup-
ported revolution.
Scanning the new government
personnel for possible clues as to
future international policy, observ-
ers noted that President Ramirez's
new cabinet included eight military
men to only one civilian.

DAUGHTER:
Nazis Massacre Dutch

Out of tightly censored Holland
came news of fresh Nazi atrocities
These latest reports concerned the
killing of thousands of Dutch citi-
zens in mass executions following a
general strike that had halted all
activity for nearly a week. They
were made public by the Office of
War Information.
Allied sources learned that the
strike had started when Nazi author
tiles announced that all members
of the former Dutch army paroled
in 1910 would be sent to Germany
to work in Nazi war factories. With
in half an hour, reports said, fac
tories, shops, public offices and even
courts stopped. Within a few hours
public services and transportation
ceased to function.
Ruthless executions then were un-
dertaken by the Germans. Bodies
of the slain Dutch patriots were left
where they fell in public squares
and outside cities. Work resumption
was eventually ordered by Good
Patriots" in order to avoid further
slaughter.

Sulfa Drugs Reduce
Influenza Death Rate

Physicians who went through the
influenza epidemic of 1918-19l9, and
witnessed the hopelessness in the
treatment of thousands of cases, now
look with eager eyes toward future
battles with influenza.
1t was because influenza went on
to pneumonia and bronchopneumo-
mia and the heart already DAM
aged by influenza was unable to sus-
tain the continued fight against pneu-
monia and bronchopneumonia, that
so many victims died. Now that
the physician has at hand the sulfa
drugs which have reduced the death
rate in pneumonia from nearly 10
per cent to about per cent, he is
able to fight influenza and pneumo-
mia successfully.
Some interesting figures were re-
Gently released by DR.. Louis I. Dub
lin of the Metropolitan Life Insur-
ance company. The figures show
that there has been a decrease in
the death rate of influenza and pneu-
monia of IS per cent from 1900 to
1910, that is from 2O2 per hundred
LiodSeAA VI tiAS POPOldIlOli LII 1oOO "
70 in 1910.
While this is gratifying, the use of
the sulfa drugs during 1941 and
1912 has caused an even more rapid
decrease.
How remarkable this drop in the
death rate. really is can only be
realized by thinking of the rate of
decrease in the years 1900 to 1910, or
before the general use of the sulfa
drugs. For the general population,
the decrease in the death rate from
influence and pneumonia has been at
the rate of l " per cent year for the
40 years. During the last two years,
judging the whole population by the
millions of wage earners and their
families of the Metropolitan Insur-
ance company, the death rate has
decreased more than IA per cent
a year. In other words, the sulfa
drugs have decreased the death rate
in influenza and pneumonia over nine
times as much each of the last two
years as in any of the previous 40
years.

PACIFIC:
u. S. Airmen Strike

Allied airmen continued to strike
heavy blows at Jap positions from
the Aleutians clear across the Pa
cific to Central China.
Kiska was again the target of the
Aleutians assault, with Allied Lib
orators and Vega Ventures joining
in the battering drive against this
last enemy outpost in the archipela-
60. Over in the Solomons, Choiseul
island and the Munda air bases were
attacked by American planes. In
New Guinea, Allied attack planes
supporting ground forces in the Mu-
DO area strafed enemy positions on
strategic Green's Hill.
American and Chinese air superb
GRITTY in the middle Yangtse valley
continued to be manifest, as fliers
from both forces swept over the
Hupeh-Hunan battle area without

RUSSIA:
Tactics in Reverse

Using tactics in which the Allies
had given them bitter lessons in
Western Europe, the Nazis employed
their waning air force in massed
bombing attacks against Russian ar
mament factories.
Typical of this effort were the at
tempts to wreck the giant Cork
works, $50 miles east of Moscow.
While German and Soviet communi-
ques differed on the extent of the
damage, both agreed that the at
tacks were of a ferocious nature.
Moscow radio admitted that casual
ties and some damage were caused,
but maintained that German reports
were grossly exaggerated.
Retaliatory raids we're made on a
big scale by Russian bombers which
attacked the Unecha junction on the
Bryansk-Gomel railroad, blowing up
munitions dumps and fuel stores.
Meanwhile in the midst of counter
claims about opposing losses in the
Caucasus, German transocean
agency broadcast predicted a big
scale Russian attack on Novorossisk.

Yanks Send Back
Many Souvenirs
From War Zones
Silk Gowns From India,
Jap Flags and Armor
Among Priced Gifts.

WASHINGTON are be-
ginning to pour home from the wars
many fronts. Veteran postal authori-
ties, recalling the flood of mementos
that rolled back from England and
France during World War I are brac-
ing themselves for an even greater
deluge this time.
What with much larger army and
navy by far than we had in 1918,
the torrent is expected to be enormous
when it reaches its peak This time the
boys have virtually the entire globe
to pick from, or will have when vic
tory is achieved.
First souvenirs and trophies came
from the Philippine campaign, then
from the strange lands of the south
west Pacific.
When the AEF descended on North
Africa, however, the troops discovered
that the Germans and Italians virtually
had stripped the French colonies of
valuables. But enough trinkets, jewell
ry, hand-woven garments remained to
give the native merchants land office
business.
Gifts Often Puzzle
In India the pickings are much more
varied and attractive than in North
Africa. U. S. soldiers there are buying
all sorts of souvenirs, some of which
are specially produced for the tourist
trade.
A popular gift to send the girl friend
is native silk gown. Often the gar
ment is boldly decorated with famous
sights of the country, like the Tai
Mahal or the vice-regal palace at New
Delhi with appropriate labels.
Jewelry-necklaces, bangles, anklets
and rings-are the stock in trade of
countless Indian bazaars and these find
their way to our soldiers for shipment
home. Native knives, coins, amulets
also are collected.
Sometimes the recipients back home
are puzzled by the objects their men,
folk send. The Smithsonian Institute
here, the Field Museum in Chicago,
the American Museum of Natural His
tory in New York frequently are called
on these days to identify unfamiliar
objects from the other side of the world.
Real War Trophies
From the South Pacific war areas,
the first souvenirs were really war
trophies. Things like Samurai swords
captured from Japanese officers, Jap
battle flags and other articles of the
enemy's military equipment.
Best known of these was the sword
taken from a Jap officer on Bataan
and sent by General Macarthur to
President Roosevelt through Francis
B. Sayre, returning high commissioner
to the Philippines.
Now the bulk of the mementos from
South Pacific consist of native spear
heads with needle like points, odd
shell ornaments, war marks, gorgeous
ly beplumed head-dresses and wide
brass and silver armbands.
Coconuts, plentiful in that region,
are coming in by the hundreds, many
of them Interestingly carved. Geolog-
ically-minded soldiers send specimens
of rock formation foreign to their
home neighborhoods.
On the whole, troops will garner az
mementos any objects likely to catch
the eye of boys far from accustomed
surroundings.

FATHERS:
Work or Fight Miaup

A misunderstanding over the de-
tails of the War Manpower COM
missions work or fight" edict had
been responsible for the induction
of some fathers into military service
in violation of draft regulations,
VINO Chairman Paul v. McNutt re-
vealed.
Mr.. McNutt pointed out that the
"work or fight order had directed
that fathers and others of draft age
with dependents be indicted if they
were employed in any of the 10
"nondeferable" occupations listed by
the War Manpower commission. Sc
lective service regulations prohib-
it the drafting of fathers not in de-
ferable jobs.

obstruction and irritates passages so
that it causes coughing. This cough
ing may cause more serious trouble.
Removal Of this soft growth is very

Take Pride In Victory

International competition was the
decisive factor in introducing western
sports in Japan. The visit to Japan in
1914 of touring American pro-
fessional baseball group and frequent
competition of Japanese teams with
Philippine and Hawaiian teams estab-
lished baseball as the most popular
foreign" game. Track athletics pro-
crossed slowly until stimulated by a
face-losing discovery in 1912. In that
year Japan was first represented in
the international Olympic games held
at Stockholm. The failure of her two
representatives spurred adequate
training with American coaching aid.

EUROPE:
'MelIo,U Light

Even as Prime Minister Winston
Churchill had declared that the
mellow light of victory" was al
ready playing on the Allies, the Axis
had been tensely alert for the long
promised invasion of Europe.
Axis communiques had early re-
ported attempted Allied landings on
stepping stone" islands between
Africa and Italy. First of these was
the Rome and Berlin radio reports
of a Commando movement on the
tiny island of Lampedusa, bordering
the Tunisian coast. Then came the
Rome communique announcing that
the garrison defending beleaguered
Pantelleria had been called on to
surrender by Allied forces. Pantel-
leria had experienced a pounding
such as even Malta had not suffered,
for here the devastating Allied bomb
onslaughts from the air had been
accompanied by whitening lombard
ment of Italian positions by unop-
posed Allied naval forces.
Never before during the war had
Prime Minister Churchill spoken so
confidently as during his report to
parliament concerning the European
situation in which he described the
amphibious operations of peculiar
completely against the enemy.
Concerning the Allied air offensive
which observers had termed the ac-
tual first phase of the invasion, he
declared that nothing will turn the
Allies from their intention of accom-
plishing "the complete destruction
of our foes by bombing from the
air, in addition to all other means"
