Predict Car-Plane

Airplane designers prophesy
combination family car and plane
for the not-too-distant future. Most
commonly visualized is three or
four-passenger car-plane with re-
movable wings which can be
"checked" at the airport.
Predicted performance: 1875 to
100 miles an hour cruising speed in
the air, so to 60 miles an hour on
the highway. Mass production
would bring cost of unit within
reach of the family pocketbook.

The Postwar Bus

Perhaps it is an unhealthy sign of conser-
selves much less intrigued by promises of
revolutionary miracles in the postwar world
than by possible improvements of existing in
st. tutions.
Take, for instance, the bus. It is handy
but by no means perfect vehicle. Yet the Mack
Truck people tell us that we may hope for
something nearer to our hearts desire. And if
their prospectus pans out we shall most GER
tainly agree.
Among other things, the Mack people say,
there will be degasser to Danish those noxous
engine odors that smart the eyes and nose,
cause the head to ache, and generally revolt
the senses Also anti-slip doorsteps and heavier
insulation.
And there will be uniform, circulating air
heat instead of the prewar inadequacy which
scorched the shins Of the front-seat passengers
and froze those in back. The new bus will
also have automatic transmission and torque
converter that should Danish bumps and grinds

"Verdict of India" by Beverley
Nichols (Harcourt, Brace; $3.50.
AS anybody who sees as many
books az l knows, there is a much
discussed division among the lib
erals, one group of which wishes
heartily to persuade the other to
indorse immediate freedom for In
dia, regardless. The movement
(and the schism) are not SO per-
fervid as formerly, but both exist.
Apparently Beverley Nichols
felt that the other side of the
medal deserved attention, and
this he has bestowed generously
in a book called Verdict on In
dia." 1t is not the result of manv
years residence in India, nor is
it based on a carefully presented
historical perspective, although
Mr.. Nichols may have such a per
spective in the back Of his mind
for all I know. Actually the book
rests on observation over a period
of about a year-not long period
for India, but much longer than

British and American attitude
toward India has spent in the
country.
Mr.. Nichols thinks the whole

ON THE WESTERN FRONT,
Nov. 7.-Delayed)- Up AS with
the old question about the chicken
and the egg, you begin to wonder
after a while whether t h mud
causes the front or the front
causes the mud.
Driving eastward from Paris to
the Third army front there are few
signs Of warfare along the smooth
sweeping highway as you roll
through Sezanne and ST. Dizier.
Only now and then do you notice
nudWallows which mark erstwhile
bivouac areas, even though it's
raining or showing most of h e
time.
. But beyond Nancy the mud be-
gins and all along the Third army
front it is unacceptable. The wealth
err seems to get progressively
worse. 1 talked with a veteran of
beth wars in France who said he
understood h e sun sometimes
shines for a whole day, but he,
personally, could not vouch for it.
Surrender Hope
Once one is within artillery range
the roads suddenly seem to give
up all hope. Trucks grind through
ankle-deep slush; jeeps have been
shifted into extra low. and some
body is always getting stuck or
having to be rescued from mud
holes in the middle of the road
while jittery streams of traffic pile
up behind.
Once you get off the road, ev-
erything is mud. The pathways
simply are ribbons of soupy muck.
You wouldn't walk along them,
except maybe there are some
mines elsewhere. Vehicle parking
areas may have been solid sod a
couple of days ago, but now they
are merely mammoth mud puddles
criss-crossed with countless tracks.
Pup tents dotting t h bivouac
areas look like a fleet Of tiny sail
boats becalmed in a sea of mud
Every now and then you see a
vehicle-sometimes a truck, some
times tank - hopelessly begged
down.
Water runs up the road edges
and courses down ruts. Anytime
you step out of vehicle you sink
halfway to your knees.
Still farther forward you see fox

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 13.-The use of

man Tobias of st. Louis University
said today.
Declaring that the layman also
was enormously using the drugs in
certain instances, he asserted:

but babies are getting smeared with

He told the 38th annual meeting
of the Southern Medical Association
that the physician in general was
abusing the drugs because he
feels and rather hopes sulfa drugs
will make up for his shortcomings
in the difficult and mysterious field
of archaeological diagnosis n d
therapy."
While he declared that the sui

Lesson for the Master Race

# recent reports from within Germany are
to be credited, the Nazis themselves have ac-
commodat ingly started the difficult task Of de-
educating and re-educating their followers. This
is being done not through books, but through
impressive laboratory demonstrations in their
own city streets.
It seems that their dwindling nanpower re-
serve has forced the Nazis to impress pris-
oners from Asiatic Russia into service, and
thus knock the racial supremacy theory for a
loop For today the Germans see about them
a conglomerate collection of men in German
uniforms whose complexion and bone structure
proclaim them to be inferior according
to the master-race diet which Hitter fed his
people for 10 years.
That must be quite a jolt And particularly
since many of these foreigners wear the SIS
Uniform The SIS used to be the cream of the
Nazi crop. Its fanatic members were intent on
proving, by blood and slaughter. that tn e
cal boundaries were ordained by natures laws
to enslave and rule their neighbors.
Today thousands Of those ardent disciples
of the New Order lie buried in distant lands.
So many are gone that the Nazi leaders must
Now force members of the destined slave
race, on pain of death, to defend the master
race against inevitable defeat by the conquer
ing "inferior' armies
1t would be battling task to try to explain
such an anomaly. Here are prisoners compel
ed to take up arms in defense of philosophy
which would enslave them but which, by de-
Tending they also destroy. The significance
behind the sight of Mongoloid face above
an SIS uniform can hardly be lost upon the
most obtuse German.
And yet it may be wondered how lasting
IN impression the lesson will make.
Super-racism isn't a Nazi invention. 1t has
flourished in Germany for more than a cen
fury, in such things as Hegel's theory Of the
dominance of the Germanic people as world
rulers; Nietzsche's vision of a superman and
daring and ruler race, triumphing over
slave types paralyzed by Jewish-Christian
morality; Wagners grandiose Teutonic myths
Tretschke's anti-Socialist, anti-Catholic anti
Polish and anti-Jewish writings
Hitler's circle weren't the first small men to
pervert philosophic thought to despicable prac-
tice.
Germany was also the cradle Of modern anti
Semitism. In the last quarter of the 10Th CEN
fury this bigotry spread to Russia, Hungary,
Romania and France, climaxed there by the
infamous Dreyfus persecution. Directly after

Misuse of Sulfa Drugs
Described By Physician

Situation Gan allergic reaction)
which may be incapacitating, he
asserted:
1T is fact that many Of our
returning service men have been
potentially sensitized to the sulfo-
handles either as result of vener-
cal prophylaxis, utilization in
wounds, or as local applications for
various dermatoses.
"This implies that the physician
must use extreme care in prescrib-
ing for these patients when they
return to civil life. Before these
drugs are administered, a history
of previous sensitization should be
a cause for changing the type of
treatment
On the other side of the ledger,
he said the sulfa drugs were of
great value in the acute infections
Of the skin, and underlying tissues,
such as erysipelas, widespread i'm
petigo and infections caused by
streptococcus germs.
These are distinguished, he said,
from chronic Skin infections which
are often caused by mixed bac-
terra and which, he declared, re-
spond only temporarily to the sulfa
drugs.
The use of sulfonamides by mouth
fol- skin disease, he said, should be
restricted "as a life-saving meas
ure" to treatment of such diseases
as certain venereal infections and
erysipelas and even then should not
be employed for more than ten
days.
AS for local application to the
skin, he declared 1.-The old fashion
ed hot boric pack will do almost
everything that a sulfonamide oint-
ment will do minus the dangers
of sensitization.
