It's a pediculous war out at the
National Institute of Health where
a handful of home front heroes
have been energetically scratching
for victory since last December.
They're pasturing parasite, which
is the scientific way of saying they're
crawling with cooties.
Penned up in little pill-boxes,
under their shirts or stockings,
they're keeping a colony of lice
alive with their blood-in order to
learn how said lice can be killed
before they carry disease and death
to Johnny Doughboy.
We're on the right track" was
the comment today of Mrs. Thomas
B. Nolan, zoologist who has pro-
vided personal pasture for thousands
of lice as her part in the war ef-
fort. But until we're sure, we don't
like to talk much about the prog
ress of our experiments.
Since wars began, lice have car
ried typhus and relapsing fever into
the bloodstreams of soldiers, so DR..
H. w. Wright, chief of the insti-
tute'S zoology division, decided last
December to seek a streamlined, sci
entific delousing system. To get
him started, the Army Medical
Service located one male and two
female cooties-but it didn't say
where
However, these aggravating in
sects won't grow and multiply on
any diet but human blood, so DR..
Wright turned his frame into a
lice farm. He covered a container
with cloth, put in pair of cooties
and strapped it to his bare arm.
DR.. Wright has since gone to
Central America, but Mrs. Nolan

itched for action, took over the
four-hour-a-day feeding ordeal.
Some of the more sensitive-sk skinned
soon retired from the scientific
front, but about eight men and
women stayed in there and
scratched.
Their battle scars are temporary
sores which spot their bodies
wherever they strap on the cootie
cages-usually on the arms and
legs, but never in the same spot

The Political Mill l

Willkie also Is demanding that
the party adopt a liberal do
mestic program.
Col. Mccormick is publisher
of the Chicago Tribune. He and
his newspaper have been strongly
opposed to the foreign policy of
President Roosevelt. And since
Mr.. Willkie. espoused that policy
they have been even more
strongly opposed to Mr.. Willkie
as a Republican candidate for
the presidency. Col. McCor-
mick's name first was brought
into the open as a possible con-
tender for the nomination by
the Republican Nationalist Re-
vival Committee.
The committee urged him to
run in the Illinois primary. Col.
Mccormick made no comment
on the request. And so far he
has made no answer to the
Willkie challenge. Generally it
has been supposed that Gov.
Green of Illinois would be the
favorite son candidate and that
his name would be entered in
the primary-not particularly
with any idea he would be the
selection of the national conven-
ton, but with the idea that this
would serve to keep the Illinois
delegation together and in hand
to vote for some other candidate
when the showdown comes. An
alternative was the entry of
Gov. Bricker into the Illinois
primary, backed, of course, by
the States anti-Willkie Repub-
licans.
Harks to america First
A race between Mr.. Willkie
and Col. Mccormick in the Illi-
nois primary, however, would
have all the elements of first
class show. Mr.. Willkie stands
out as the premier Republican
internationalist and Col. McCor-
mick occupies similar position
as Republican isolationist.
The committee organized to
keep the Republican party the
nationalist party Of America
is reminiscent of the old America
First Committee, formed to keep
this country out of the present
war. 1t did not get very far. But
the sentiment is still there, and
it remains to be seen to what ex-
tent and degree it can be aroused.
The Republican Postwar Policy
Association, which first raised its
head in Illinois and the Midwest,
with Deneen Watson of Chicago
as its chairman, is committed to
policy of international cooper
alton. 1t is right down Mr.. Will
kie's alley. Some time ago it
held Midwest conference. On
Monday it will hold it's eastern
conference in New York, with
delegates from a dozen States
attending. While it is denied
that the association is connected
in any way with the Willkie can
didacy, it easily could become so.
Desperate efforts will be made
late in August to get the Re-
publican Postwar Council to
write a foreign policy for the
COP in its campaign next year.
This council, named by Chair.
man Spangler of the Republican
National Committee, is composed
of the "a Republican Governors
now in Office, Republican Sen
ators and Representatives and
several members of the national
committee. 1t can perform a
real service if it will produce a
simple, definite foreign policy
formula on which all groups of
the COP may stand. 1t will be
a mistake, however, if it under
takes to straddle the issue, scared
off by the nationalist party"
shouters or, perhaps, by the

Those were the days before Eng
lands playboy prince became King
and then gave up the throne in a
crisis that loomed nearly as big as
the beginning of the war. We be-
lieved in many things in those days,
including the future of a demo-
cratic government in Germany.
Hitler was only a funny little man
with a mustache that only a few
people had heard of and no one
took seriously Just around the cor
ner in America were two cars in
every garage and two chickens in
every car-one for the college boy
in the rumble seat
One Night in Jubbulpore.
But to get back to japanese
Sandman"-they were playing that
tune at the British Officers Club
in Jubbulpore, India, one night in
1925 and the Prince Of Wales chose
for his partner a lovely, blue-eyed
Irish girl named Mrs. James Arthur
Grant, the wife of a signals major.
She wore swansdoWn powder puff
frock that set of her young matron-
ly charms. The next day the news
papers carried her picture as the
latest Of the Princes favorites and
people looked at it and then turned
to the comics.
Well lot has happened since
that night in the officers club at
Jubbulpore Mrs. Grant is the
mother of two grown children. One
of them is in the British Com
mandos and took part in the raid
on st. Nazaire, the toughest CON-
mando operation of them all, before
they sent him to the Mediterranean
to help storm the beaches for the
Allied attacks there.
The other day I had tea with
Mrs. Grant at her country home in
Sussex. England. She Is still a
charming woman and even the util-
ity clothes of modern England
looked better on her than did the
odd pipe-stem frocks Of 1925. She
read to me letter from her son
Brian, the commando
Security prevented him from say
ing much, but he did say he was
disappointed not to have been In
action again for several weeks and
he told his mother to keep his room
ready for his return after the war.
This is polite fiction that all WELL
bred British boys maintain for their
well-bred mothers-that they are
just off for holiday week end and
will be back soon with loving cup
under their arm received for win
ming tennis match.
Hand Didn't Shake.
Mrs. Grant kept up the play
acting with me and laughed about
her sons impatience Not even her
hand shook as she poured me an
other cup of tea, but she and I
both knew that the chances of her
ever seeing ner son again were
slight. You don't serve in the
Commands expecting to come
through alive for very long.
All of which was a far cry from
the night when the orchestra played
softly and the Prince of Wales
danced with a pretty Irish girl in
Jubbulpore, India. But I thought
you might like to know what be-
came of one of the Duke of Wind
sor's dancing partners who was
mentioned briefly in the newspapers
and then forgotten by the people
who glanced over the page on the
subway while they were on their
way to work. She has all but for
gotten that night herself and right
now you could have the Prince of
Wales and the entire island of
Nassau If you could assure Mrs.
Grant that her commando son will
return safely from the war.

Nobody knows of the work it makes
To keep the home together;
Nobody knows Of the steps it takes
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody listens to childish woes,
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's pain'd by the mighty blow
Nobody-only mother.
Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;
Nobody knows of the tender prayer,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody knows Of the lessons taught
Of loving one another;
Nobody knows of the patience sought
Nohod y-only mother.
Nobody knows of the anxious fears,
Lest darlings may not weather
Storms Of this life in the coming wears,
Nobody knows but mother.
Nobody knows Of the fears that start
The criefs she gladly smothers;
Nobody knows of the breaking heart
Nobody only mother.
Nobody clings to the hayward child
Tho scorned by every other,
Leads it so gently from pathways wild
Nobody can but mother.
Nobody knows Of the hourly prayer
For him our erring brother;

By the Way-
: BETH BLAINE

Mrs. Waldron S. Macdonald
may not have the most thrilling
Job in the Red Cro.s but it an
important and very necessary
one. She is chairman of emer-
gency clerical services and has
been now for a little over a year.
Four full dav5 each week she
does her volunteer war work and
does it easily and efficiently and
quietly.
Included in the emergency
clerical services are hundred
and one odd clerical joos such
as typing. mimeogra phing, writ
ing out labels. proof reading and
editing. tipping the script for ra-
dio and public relations. filing,
stamping, folding, and doing the
mechanical end of getting out
some 1900 copies of the Red
Cross Bulletin every month
in fact all the clerical work for
the entire District of Columbia
Chapter of the Red Cross. Doing
the work is like having a finger
in lot of pies. Mrs. Macdonald
says, and it certainly familiarizes
you with what's going on in every
department of the Red Cross. A
great many working girls have
volunteered to dc the workout
At night - and unfortunately.
Mrs. Macdonald says. this isn't
possible since this clerical depart
ment is NOT open at night. Right
now the clerical workers include
wives of many Army and Navy
officers.
Mrs. Macdonald herself is the
wife OF civilian employee of
the Navy Department. She and
her husband have lived in Wash
lngton for two years. They found
a house almost the moment thev
arrived-a sweet little red brick
house with garden way out on
Newport street Just off Massa-
chusetts avenue extended. And
Just as soon as Mrs. Macdonald
was settled she began her Red
Cross courses, first aid, staff as
sistant and nutrition.
She graduated from Vassar and
married shortly afterward. She
and her husband met, during a
boat race in which both parti-
clpated. Who won?" we asked
But Mrs. Macdonald only smiled
and never told us.
