Catch Enemy Flat-F Dotted
In Silent Attack As
Dawn Breaks
Bv SID FEEDER

PISA, Italy, July 23.-(P)
. Under the protecting hood
of darkness doughboys drove
across the AEno river flat
lands under the noses of the
enemy early today and
broke into this ancient city
after clearing out a consider
able number Of snipers on
the plains to the south.
They slipped into the city from
two sides shortly after daylight
aided by haze that impeded the
vision of Nazi gunners in powerful
positions in the Monte Pisano hills.
They held on and even brought up
reinforcements in the face of a
vicious barrage which included
heavy calibre guns and mortars,
as Marshal Kesselrings troops
tried desperately to seal off road
way approaches.
This thunderous German Smelling
was particularly heavy in the
neighborhood of the Donanale Di
San Giusto airport, just below the
southern limits Of the town. Twice

these explosions forced me to take
cover, even while already in sight

cathedral.
The entire attack toward the
Arno by force of Fifth Army
Yanks was carried on in the deep
est silence-a silence broken later
by the enemy barrage. There was
not the usual booming American
artillery preparation, and the at
tack apparently caught the enemy
flat-footed.
Capt. Richard Gordon, 375 Park
Ave, New York, said he believed
the Nazis "didn't expect us that
far up"
When dawn broke we were al.
ready on the edge of the town. The
only organized resistance encoun.
tered for several miles was force
of about 100 Germans in positions
in vineyards near LIE Rene. two
and a half miles south of the Arno
river.
Troops under 1t. William Pull
liam, 653 West Hancock st., De-
troit, Capt. Donovan Griffin, kla.
math Falls, Ore; and 1t. John H.
Knox, of Banning, Calf, fought it
out with these entrenched enemies
all night in bitter, bloody mortar
and machine-gun clash. The Dough-
boys finally forced the Germans
to withdraw. leaving casualties Of
both sides strewn over the area.
Meanwhile, troops under Capt.
Joe Kimble, Mayfield, KY, rushed
into the town On one side, while
those under 1t. Edmund Carberry,
San Francisco, inched their way
in on the other.
Carberry's outfit ran into stiff
resistance from snipers and ma
chine-gunners west of the airport,
but they took II German prisoners
and killed five Nazis.

Probably an Allergy


1t is undoubtedly an allergy, but
allergy to what is a mystery. The
best guess is some kind of food, but
it is hard to explain what. Nearly
every case gets well spontaneously
at about two years Of age and since
the diet is not abruptly changed at
that age, and the baby eats about
the same things it did when it had
eczema the question arises why"
Perhaps the allergy develops an
immunity to whatever food it was
sensitive to.
In the treatment Of infantile
eczema the parents should be
reconciled that rapid or sudden
cure is not likely. The best that
can be done is to keep the condi-
ton as well under control as pos
sible and eliminate all extra
sources of irritation. The clothing
should be light, avoiding wooden,
silk or rubber garments.
Soap and water must be used
very infrequently if at all. Oat-
meal baths are used. The skin
must be mopped, not rubbed dry.
Prevent scratching by elbow cuffs.
Dressings of aluminium acetate di-
luted to 16 with water are often
grateful and if tolerated, tar or
crude oil tar ointments are help
full. Generalized exposures to ul-
tra-violet light three times q week
have a tonic effect.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE


1t was noon before Argus awoke
the following day. He felt strange
ly light-headeG from loss of blood
and shock. He got up and called
Butch.
"You got a visitor" his valet told
him. 81 told him you couldn't see
nobody-you was too sick. But he

Don't Starve Child

II is important not to starve the
child in an attempt to eliminate
the offending foods. Milk, eggs
and wheat are the common offend
ers, but it is hard to construct a
dietary without them and it is
more important that the subjects
nutrition does not suffer than that
some added allergic response flare
up.
Impetigo, pus infection Of the
skin, is the commonest skin disease
Of infancy and childhood. The
causative factor is the infants
prediction for handling all sorts
Of things, clean and dirty. Besides
as a causative factor the infants
skin is delicate, an easy object OF
invasion for germs and it has not
yet acquired the immunity that the
adult skin gets in time. Impetigo
arises suddenly with angry red
pustular spots and blisters. While
it usually involves the face it may
occur anywhere.
Treatment Of Impetigo
In the treatment of impetigo the
child should be isolated just as if it
had a contagious disease which in
deed it has. The crusts should be
removed with warm water and
soap. Sulfathiazole, or some form
Of sulfa drugs have been a god
send in the treatment Of this
troublesome and often serious Of
fender.
Fungus infections in childhood
are represented mostly by the
tinea infestations Of the scalp.
They appear as areas of partial
badness with the rest Of the hairs
covered with scales and stubby
and brittle. 1t is often contracted
from cat and dog pets. In treat
ment the head should be shaved.
Applications Of ointments or To-
tons containing salicyic acid or
sulphur will usually kill off the
parasite allowing the skin to heal,
but in stubborn cases the Xsray
may have to be called into use.
Scabies, or itch-infestation
, with the itch mite, is common in
infancy and childhood. The scales
appear mostly in the webs Of the
fingers or in the armpits, or in the
buttocks. They itch intolerably.
Sulphur ointment go usually re-
,ults in a prompt cure.
