QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
OdOr to Cancer

cancer having an odor. He advises
mother to take tablespoonful Of
mineral oil daily. He says he never
heard Of mineral oil doing any
harm. IS. F)
Answer do not know that can
Ger itself has an odor, but in many
cases that Is troublesome feature.
Application Of tablets containing
equal parts of dextrose, lactose,
boric acid and tartaric acid will
prevent or control the odor, which
is due to secondary infection. Use
of diluted iodine solution tends to
prevent the secondary infection.
Main objection to frequent use of
mineral oil Is that it interferes with
assimilation of essential nutritional
elements, particularly vitamins.

American task force, and have now been on Kiska for nearly 15 months
 Dutch Harbor is 600 miles east of Kiska. Attu is about 200 miles west of Kiska and Agattu about SC miles southeast of Attu.
 The Americans first attacked Kiska with Navy PBY flying boats from Dutch Harbor, but 1t was a long haul and too far away for a base for a pre- invasion bombing. In September, 1942, American forces occupied the Andreanof Islands, midway between Dutch Harbor and Kiska and from there were able to step up their attack. In February American forces took Anchitka, only about 75 miles east of Kiska. From there American bombers hit Kiska regularly, weather permitting, and often attack as many as 10 or IS times day.
 On May II, Americans flanked the enemy on Kiska and invaded Attu. By May 30 all Japanese opposition had been overcome. Not a single American Warship was sunk or damaged. The army, which con- ducted operations ashore, suffered 1885 casualties, including 342 kill ed. The Japanese had claimed that American losses numbered 5000.
 Fall Of Attu
 The fall of Attu left the Japanese on Kiska in precarious position The aerial and naval blockade made it extremely difficult, if not impos- sible, for the enemy to deliver sup plies.
 In June, the American Air Force began concentrated attacks. The

 Many Sicilian soldiers deserted, donned civilian clothes and return ed to their villages and farms. Alex ander said he was not concerned with them unless they engaged in sabotage or espionage, which, he warned, would be punished with death.
 Alexander said the Italians "just collapsed" when the Allies landed, but the Germans fought bravely and hard to the end.
 "The German is 8 brave soldier and a good one," he said. "He fought hard. To say otherwise would be only to belittle our sol- diers."
 Alexander revealed he originally expected the Sicilian campaign to take up to three months, and was agreeably surprised when 1t took only 1 month and 1 week. He said the fighting taught the Allies many lessons, especially in the use of air. borne troops, which he acknowl- edged had not been completely per fected.
 He singled out U. s. army en- gineers for special praise, paying tribute to their remarkable road building feats in the wild Sicilian mountains"

 "The Germans blew up 15 bridges in 20 miles along one sector of the coast, but they delayed the Ameri- cans only a matter of hours. It was a wonderful feat.
 "The Americans went from Pa lermo to Messina in fortnight. You wouldn't hike it in fortnight in peacetime."
 Alexander deprecated suggestions that the Allies could have avoided losing contact with the retreating enemy near the end of the cam- paign.
 ITO break contact Is too easy" he said. "The enemy jumps in trucks at night and goes 20 miles away, leaving a few snipers. Our pa trols are always active, but, meet ing snipers, mines and demolitions, we must halt and figure out just what the enemy t doing. By the

for the writings of such Russian authors as Tolstoy and Ivan Tur- genev. He endorsed novels, recom- mended plays, applauded in whole sale fashion the efforts of young writers, eulogized the books of the moment at his lectures, and gave his seal of approval on the cosmic program of the almighty with com- mendable impartiality, defying any one with whom he came in contact not to share his enthusiasm for his diversity of matters.
 His outlook upon the more ma terial aspects of life was as broad as his approval of the use of esthe- tics. He was fond of the good things of life and material comfort, always ate like boy of IS, smoked the same brand of cigars that Amy Lowell affected, by the gross, and although himself not drinker, viz orously defended the right of the individual to drink in the manner of pro-consuls If it pleased him to do son.
 The genial professor played a tre- mendously important part in Yale life during the past two decades. His name was always in every issue of the undergraduate newspaper, the Yale Daily News; he preached at Battell Chapel, and two of his most popular courses, "Tennyson and Browning" and "The Contem- porary Drama" often met in four sections of 150 students each. He was presiding genius of the Eliz- abethan club, the most notable of n-fraternity student organiza- tions; he gave open lectures on cur- rent books and art; his drawing room was the scene of receptions for all and any visiting notables; and John Galsworthy and Gene Tun- ney have been honored there on successive afternoon; he presented honorary degrees at Yale con- mencementS for years.
 Phelps was his own best press agent. Once he got Tunney to deliver a lecture on Shakespeare, and upon another occasion, when rare Browning item was to be pre- sented to the Yale library, he led 1000 graduates in long cheer for Browning.
 Phelps had an apt wit, and his favorite diversion was the perpetu- ation of the worst imaginative puns Che was the perpetual president of an undergraduate society dedicated to punning) and failing this, he could quote with unfailing glibness on any matter which engaged his interest.
 Phelps married Annabel Hub bard of Huron City, Mich, in 1892. She died March g, 1889.

peak was reached in July.
 Kiska was the last Japanese foot hold in the western hemisphere and can be converted into a jumping off place for American raids on the Japanese base at Paramushiro, north of Japan proper, which was first raided by American planes on July 19.
 The Japanese built on Kiska a fighter plane airield, submarine base, a weather and radio station. Kiska harbor on the south side of the island is larger than Pearl Harbor.
 The island is long and generally rectangular in shape about 35 miles wide. Like Attu, it is moun- tainous and the weather is bleak and disagreeable most of the year. Really bad weather in all of the AleutianS starts about the first of September.
 The Japanese were believed to have had about 10000 troops on the island. Although there were occa- sions during the last of July when no opposition was found, there had been heavy anti-aircraft artillery most of the time. Powerful coastal defense were emplaced on heights. The garrison was believed to be Well-supplied with food and am intuition brought in before the American blockade began.

 The emergency item, set up to take care of various civilian defense activities, shows a balance of $16,679 at the end of July. To date $27,246 has been spent on such work. The original apprc .oriation was $30,000 but at the beginning of July 1t was necessary to transfer $15,000 from the abolished Military Tax item of $30,0O0 to emergency, as at that time the exceptionally heavy war risk insurance premiums (approx- imately $15.000) were falling due.
 Expansion of civilian defense work in Waterbury during the past few months, too, has been rapid. In ad- dition to the many activities en- gagged in prior to 1943 there were added this year initial expenses in setting up the War Housing Center, as well as the Kingsbury Child Care Center.

Secretary of State Cordell Hull.
 The strongest Pacific indication today was the widely circulated but unconfirmed report that Mai. Gen. eral Joseph E. Stilwell, command CT of Allied forces in China, had joined the discussions. Stillwell, a. long with Maj. Claire Chenault, commanding the American air force in China, and field Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell, new viceroy of India, were key figures in the May conferences with the President and the Prime Minister.
 If the reports about Stilwell are true, they mean one thing.
 The Plans for Burma have been given final touch and new pat tern of Allied combat against the Japanese is being born.
 Meantime from the Citadel there came no information but many in- dications. Among highly unofficial reports we're:
 Unofficial Reports
 1-The Allies move against Ger many by Autumn, this operation aimed with body blow against the Japanese in Burma.
 2-The race for Berlin is on, with Anglo American forces poised to beat the Russians who have made far more tangible progress in this direction.
 3-Great Britain and the United States would much prefer to &C., complish the ruthless" destruction of Japan without the benefit of Rus sian bases in order to give them a better advantage at the peace table Such bases, however, would be ac- cepted in exchange for costly push against Germany.
 4-Kiska, the keystone of the Aleutians, was believed to be the first objective of the Pacific cam paign and there were rumors here that the campaign against this Jap anese Island fortress might be un- der way.
