exactly what local requirements are.
At the main gate there are signs
which read: Stop. Turn off lights

-Velocidad Maxima.'
At other points where traffic is ex-
pected to momentarily halt, signs
read: "Stop-Parese."
In some places a sign reading
simply, No Pase" conveys to Puerto
Rican and American alike that he
may go no further.
A large sign for the edification of
truck drivers warns, "Estrictamento

Electric workings are indicated by
"Peligro-Danger." Forbidden places
are indicated by "Fuera, or, Fuera

For blackouts, power switches are

Marines have caught on to numer-
Gus Spanish phrases and idioms, in

commonly used word in Puerto

In insular towns, on liberty, Ma
rines can be heard to say without

botella de cervesa, por favor" which
will bring a large beer from the
mozo, or waiter. "Cuanto?" or.
How much?" is commonly used In
restaurants and in dealings with
publico, or jitney drivers. Meeting
their Puerto Rican acquaintances,
Marines will more often than not
say, "Quepasa?" or, "Coso esta?"
That is to say, How are you?" or,

Here are excerpts from an ac-
count of his Red Gross experiences
written for one of the English
classes at the school:
Our job was very tough, but one
of the most interesting, because be-
sides the terrible view that we used
to face-scattered bodies, legs and
arms cut off by bombs or bodies
frozen by the terrible cold-we could
see the real quality of the people
who, in spite of the unbearable
physical pain they were undergoing,
still could look t. the future with
hope.
Il used to watch the wounded
soldiers for their reaction to the
war and for its effect upon them.
The first thing that they asked was
how our side was doing and whether
we had taken the enemy city or
position"
Saw Staunch Spirit.
Writing of his escape and the war
picture along the way, he said:
Everything reminded us of the
end OF what we had loved and of
what we had fought for. but even
amid the smoke and the ruins a
look at the people who still were
living still could convince you that
to these people the damage of their
cities, the great loss Of life and the
destruction of almost everything
they cared about yet seemed as
nothing because they still believed
that above all there was something
that the cowardly hordes could not
spoil or destroy-a nations spirit"
Pvt. Barbegoglou is in Washington
to speak before the United Nations
Club at l o'clock this afternoon at
the Hotel 2400, under auspices of

Basil Barberoglou, 20-year-old
veteran of the Greece Axis War, has
crowded many thrills into his few
year-including an escape from
Greece and Crete and service under
fire with the Red Cross on the Greek
front-but few thrills can top his
being allowed to enlist in the United
States Army.
Now stationed in Salt Lake City,
Utah. with the Army Air Force, the
Greek youth was allowed to join
the Army, even though an alien, by
virtue of his year of residence in
this country.
Only last summer the youth was
picked up by immigration authori-
ties on charges of entering the
United States illegally, but he con-
vinced them that he should be given
the right to remain here and con-
tinue the fight against an enemy
which killed his mother and father
during the German-Italian invasion
of Greece.
Too Young for Greek Army.
Pvt. Barberoglou, U. S. A., has

Red Cross as an ambulance driver.
AS Red Cross driver he saw nine
months of action on the front and
was severely burned once when his
ambulance overturned during a bat
tie. When Greece capitulated, Bar
beroglou fed by night through
Peloponnesia to Crete, where he
joined the British Red Cross.
Following the fall of Crete, he and
another Greek youth rescued a
British Army captain, stole Ger

food or water until they were spotted
by a Spitfire plane which signaled

 BY LOCAL DOCTORS

For many years, medical men and scientists have endeavored to per feet method for relieving the bangs of childbirth, eliminating in the development of caudal anasthe- sia, which is now being used suc- cessfully in Juneau.
 In the past there have been many types of anaesthesia used in ob- stretics, all aimed at the one ob- jectives of alleviating childbirth pains, and there were advantages and disadvantages to each, and the search continued for a better meth- od
 The caudal is administered by an infection of anaesthetic into the sacral canal, which is at the low CT end of the spinal column. The patient remains entirely conscious and usually is free of pain, al- though a few minor discomforts are to be noticed at times.
 It is common knowledge that many women remain childless or have only one child because of the fear attendant upon bearing child ren. With the advent of caudal anaesthesia, with it's promise of comfortable childbearing, it is be- iieved by medical and laymen alike that many women who desire and should have larger families will 60 so.
 During the past four months many of Juneau's doctors have been using this method and are very well satisfied with the results ob- tained Since caudal anaesthesia is comparatively new, there will un- doubtedly be improvements made as time goes on, and they will be in- corporated into the method as soon as they have proven their worth.
