Japs Expect

When Captured

WASHINGTON, July ls-UP--
American forces on Guadalca-
nal learned many lessons which
will be invaluable in the coming
struggle for repossession Of tho
Pacific from the Japanese.
Many OF these lessons were de-
tailed in the Infantry Journal" by
Capt. Gerald II. Shea. who gave In
teresting bits OF information. Of

during combat. which will provo

parachutes on other missions.

perhaps, in n few scattered in.

ton from which 10 direct haras-

The Importance OF treating
prisoners well cannot be over

be killed when captured. shea
thought kind treatment drew much

shea saw a number OF clips OF
wooden bullets for 25-caliber rifles
which bafred him. They looked
ike doweled pegs, and might have
been experimental. but they caus-
ed painful flesh burns.
No Cabling on Battlefield
The battle OF Tenaru River was
actually fought on the llu Riber.
Lack OF accurate maps al the tline
caused the discrepancy In reports.
Americans still have much to
learn about dispersion, oven after
Pearl Harbor and tho Philippines.
Shea said. Troops still are too In
clined TO gather on a victorious
battlefield TO swap stories. and
there always may be a counter
attack.
The Americans learned to stack
chemical smoke shells on end. The
hot sun melted the phosphorus, and
when shells were lald horlhQhthly

heavy objects, and we need them to
transfer food to our mouths.
We may class the hand as sep
arate from the arm, but what good
would hand be without an arm?
With our hands we can grasp objects
of a thousand kinds, including pens
and pencils.
I have seen man at a sideshow
who could write with his feet. Hav-
ing lost his arms, he had taught
himself to hold pencil or pen
between his toes, and could write
in that manner.
That man, however, had a knowl-
edge of writing with which to start.
The alphabet was invented long ago
by people who had hands. Almost
surely the human race never would
have had any idea of writing except
for the easy grasping which the
hands make possible.
Stretch out your arms to full
length on either side of your shoul-
ders. Then let the distance be meas
ured from the end of the longest
finger of one hand to the end of the
longest finger of the other hand.
The result will be your height lin
your stocking feet" A person is
exactly, or almost exactly, as tall as
the distance from the ends of his
outstretched arms.
There are three long bones in an
arm. One is in the upper arm, and
the forearm has the other two.
There is place at the elbow
where people say they have funny
bone" This name seems to have
come from "humerus," the Latin
name for the long bone in the upper
arm which is spelled almost like
humorous"
The "tingling" or electric" pain
which a blow on the elbow may
cause runs along the ulnar nerve.
At the elbow, the nerve is between
the skin and the bone. and is little
guarded against being hurt. There
really is nothing funny about the
funny bone!

Once in while we may hear
some one say, Il would give my right
arm for that!"
Other persons declare they would
give their "eye teeth" for something
Or other.
If ever you must choose between
giving away your right arm or your
eye teeth, let the teeth go! Teeth
are Of great value, but they can
hardly compare with the right arm,
or with the left arm, for that matter.
The fact is that people do not mean
what they say when they offer
either their teeth or their arms.
Above all, no person in his right
mind would care to lose his good
right arm
Think of all the things our arms
do for us! They help us to lift
