servers think that It is distrib-
uted pretty well over the entire
world, irrespective Of climate, and
that in temperate and warmer eli
mates il is milder and Of q slightly
different form from that which &C.
ours in cold and wet climates.
It is certain, however, that
along the Atlantic Seaboard and
the Northern States and in Canada
there are more severe cases of
rheumatic fever than in the
Southern States and those parts
Of the country with temperate eli
mates
The infection Is particularly
likely 10 afflict children and while
1t is called acute rheumatism,
which would indicate that it causes
Inflammation Of the joints, many
eases do not show any pain, red
ness or swelling in the joints at
all, but simply come down with a
generalized fever. The disease
may run its course in this way
and the child may appear 10 re-
cover within a week or ten days
without having had any joint
swelling. The thing that makes
rheumatic fever so dangerous is
that it affects the heart and may
leave damage which will not ap-
pear to have done any harm until
many years have passed.
Dietary Deficiencies
Some physicians are Of the
opinion that dietary deficiency
predisposes TO rheumatic fever in
lection. A study Of q group Of pa
tents who had acute rheumatic
fever compared with q group Of
normal school children showed
that the dietaries of the rheu-
matte fever patients were very
low in foods that supply vitamins
A and D, and the minerals-espe-
cially calcium, phosphorus and
iron. There was also some de-
fciency in proteins and an excess
Of starches - especially refined
sugars. Their diets showed a re-
stricted use of eggs and a long
continued use Of butter substi-
tutes.
Another factor is exposure to
the sun. This would be a secon-
Diary climatic factor, but evidence
goes to show that in those groups
with a high percentage of rheu-
matte fever, daily exposure to ths
sun has been at a minimum.
These lessons are very impor-
tant for all parents and guardians
Of school children. They should
see to it, very carefully, that dur
ing this particular period in the
year the children are kept warm
and are not left with wet feet or
damp clothing after exposure to
storms, and that they get a good
supply of nutritious foods and a.
much sunshine as possible.

Michigan in
Washington
(sy Esther Van Wagner Tufty)

(By Esther Van Wagner Tutty)
Some OF Michigan's 269 women
doctors may find themselves in the
front line OF battle. Already, on
the war path because they are not
on another war path-to doctor
the men wounded in battle-the ma
tons female doctors have created
quite a stir. So much so, that they
have secured more backing than
they realize right in the general
stats office. However, it may
take legislation before women doc
tors will be given Army and Navy
commissions.
For some time, the women ply
sicians have argued that many Of
the nations 5000 women doctors
should see Army service. They
point out, il women nurses can
do active duty, why cant they?
Too, il would mean, a married male
doctor could remain at home with
his family and thus serve communi-
ty needs. The shortage OF doctors
for civilians strengthens their posi-
ton.
AS yet the only direct job allot-
ed to them are commissions to min
lister strictly TO the WAACS,
WAVES. and SPARS. But this
isn't enough. Women doctors are
well trained and many would like
the experience Of working under
actual war conditions.
The trouble apparently lies IN a
combination OF mid-Victorianism in
high Army and Navy circles plus
the constant professional dislike Of
many influential male doctors for
any female doctor whatsoever, in

She is president Of the newly IN

exhibition snakes frequently are
fed live birds. practice 10 which
her organization violently objects.
Therefore she would Danish the
snakes from the ZOOS.
In this she found herself At odds
with Floyd B. Young, director OF
the zoo, who replied:
"The Creator makes these ami
mails to feed one way, and IL isn't
our fault II they won't feed any
other way.
The issue seems simply TO be
whether snakes should be allowed
to live In captivity az expense or
birds. Allowed their freedom. they
would still catch birds. The diff
ference is that they would have 10
catch the birds without assistance,
and more particularly that no one
would know how many birds were
being caught.
That matter OF knowledge seems
10 be the main point. We get ter

they are out of sight.

tect birds from snakes is TO elm
mate snakes. Similarly the only
way to protect innocent people
from human vultures, such as those
responsible for this war, is to re-
move them from society. Inc
great misfortune is that so many
innocent lives must be sacrificed

AWVS Plans
To Photograph
Soldiers Babies
Pictures VIII Be
Sent to Fathers
In Overseas Posts

Photographing babies of service
men who departed for foreign lands
before their babies were born is the
newest activity of the American
Women's Voluntary Services de-
signed to help the morale of men
fighting with the armed forces over
seas.
Realizing the natural desire of a
father to know what baby looks
like" plan has been drawn up by
Mrs. Will Walter White of the
AWVS to photograph babies born
after daddy sailed away. The pic
lures will be quickly developed and
printed and ready for mailing over
seas soon after they are taken.
Under Mrs. Whites direction, the
photographers will take pictures of
babies, white or colored. in the
serviceman's home at the request OF
the mother. The AWVS photog-
raphers, who are all amateurs with
some experience, will carry their
own lights for photographing inside
the home.
Four pictures will be taken of each
baby. The first will be with his
mother. the second alone, the third
in a family group, with brothers
or sisters if any, and the fourth
will be a spontaneous "shot" taken
Of the baby in some appealing or
characteristic pose. The best of
the four will be enlarged to a SKI
print, the others will be 312x2ia
prints and all will be sent to the
father overseas.
A minimum cost of so cents for
photographing each baby will be
paid by the mother if she feels
she can afford it. If she is unable
to pay any fee, the AVIS will pay
the cost out of limited sum placed
aside for that purpose.
The service is limited at present
to servicemen in the Army, Navy
and Marines but Mrs. White and
