 Supply officers in Washington are still assigning bombsights to planes for Pacific action, but fly CTS are urging that the device be left at home. They have found that the most successful air attack in the Pacific is the low-level tree-top bombing. in which medium bombers sweep in on the target and let the bombs drop when they are so close they can't miss. This is better than any precision instrument ever in- vented.
 Also, it is less dangerous than high-altitude bombing. Coming in low, the planes avoid detec- tion by the enemy, whereas the high-altitude planes are caught both by instruments and vision.
 The tree-tOp flying requires greater pilot skill, also the use of delayed -actiOn bombs so that the planes can get away from the target before 1t blows up under the plane.
 This is the kind of work that was done in the famous battle of the Bismarck Sea, in which every Jap ship was destroyed. It was also how the Nazis sneaked up on Bori and wrecked havoc with Allied shipping.

no expense in his campaign-as long as the Federal taxpayers are footing the bill.
 At the last count, approxi- mately million pieces of cam paign literature - folded, ad- dressed and mailed entirely at the taxpayers expense-had been sent out by Morrison, urg- ing LOuisianans to vote for him in the January primary. The mailing charge alone would amount to about $30,OO0 if MOr- rison had to pay 1t out of his own pocket.
 However, Morrison hasn't con- tented himself with this gratu- ity. He has also introduced some brand new wrinkles that should open the eyes of his older, though less ingenious colleagues. . A great believer in the persona tOuch," Jimmy has four girl em- ployes of the House majority room addressing by hand the envelopes for his campaign bally hoo. It would be quicker and far less expensive to use an ad- dressograph, but Morrison wants the Louisiana voters to believe that they are getting something special. He can well afford to d0 this-it's nothing out of his pocket.
 For a while, one girl was given the job of initiating Morrison's signature on campaign letters sent to Louisiana voters, so that the voters would think he was writ ing to each of them individually.

Selected Poem
OUT OF THE FROSTED EARTH

CLansing Christman in the Christian Science
 Monitor) This winter walk down the path leads From the hills into the quiet valley We find the south slopes warm with sun, The long shadows of trees climb high over the rolling banks Of laurel And evergreen. Once in the valley, We find a cup of cold, bowl moulded By the unseen hands of winter Out of the frosted earth and stone One that the warmth cannot reach and thaw Here there are arctic days, weeks Without sun. and the ice whose keen breath Stills once more the creeks old song.

THYROID AND BASAL TEMPERATuRE

physicians who are unduly i'm pressed by gadgetry in mooen machine medicone sometimes seen to think frequent basal metabolism tests are essential as an index TOE the use or administration of thy" roid extract. never have been apb to take the basal metabolism hocus' pocus seriously. I am not singular about this. Probably many better doctors than I am share my view but for one reason or another prefer to make no noise about it.
 In the Jour. A.M.A., Aug. l, 'ASD pr. B, O. Barnes described the com- paratively simple basal temperature index for thyroid therapy ana com. pared 1t with the basal metanolism record both for that purpose and in the diagnosis of hyperthyriodism lover active thyroid and hypothy- roidism insufficient thyroid func- tion).
 By basal temperature Dr. Barnes means the individual should have had a good night rest, no food TOT l2 hours. no exercise and on excite- ment. On awakening in the morn ing the patient places the ther- mometer (kept with record book at the bedsiCle) in his mouth, holds It there ten minutes-while reading perhaps) and records the tempera- ture. This must be done before get ting up or dressing, as any slight physical activity like that tends tc raise the temperature. For the made the basal temperature is 96. For the female 1t averages 98 but the low point is e7.5 at time of ovu- lation, and the peak is 90.5.
 Most patients tolerate one gram of thyroid a day, best taken at breakfast time. This may be con tinued four weeks, then the basal temperature recorded for two or I, three mornings. If 1t is not above 98 in a man, 97.5 in a woman, the dosage is raised to two grains daily for the next four weeks, then an- other two or three basal tempera- ture check. and If necessary the daily dosage of thyroid is increased to three grains for another week or two. and so on, until the basal temperature becomes normal. 1T the basal temperature is found ele- vated above 98.6 at any time the thyroid should be stopped alto- gether for four weeks. It takes a few weeks, at least, for the effects of single dose of thyroid to wear of and it takes perhaps weeks for the full defects of a single dose to become manifest Tn 1000 cases treated with thyroid by the basal temperature index Dr. Barnes never had to give more than three grains day. Once the dose required to maintain normal temperature has been determined. 1t may be safely continued for a year If necessary.

voiced their feelings on the subject,

At present Hays pointed out, there
re approximately 1000 active cases
{ tuberculosis in the Territory with
Bout 70 beds available for treat
ent. He Illustrated how treatment
could be brought about through the
construction of two new hospitals
and the acquisition of one already
huilt by the Army but not needed
by the military now.

than a year ago to make study
of health conditions in the Territory
Tor the Public Health Service
recommended construction OF a
20O-bed hospital near Nome, an
other one Of 200 beds near Juneau,
ana the acquisition of 500-bed
hospital already built near Anchor

The Territorial Department Of
Health has recently published ana

DR. Hays pointed out that because
tuberculosis does not discriminate
concerning the type of human it
attacks, the hospitals would provide
treatment for all suffering from the
disease, regardless of race. The hos
pitfalls proposed would be of the pa
Vilion type.
