Nurses Happy
In Africa Army

WITH THE FIFTH U. S. ARMY
IN NORTH AFRICA.-The hot AZ
rican sun poured down on the canvas
roof and walls of the olive green tent
and on Lieut.. Orpha Warner, who
was washing some filmy pink I'M
derthings in a pail of soapy water.
She wiped the suds from her
hands and brushed the damp black
curls from her forehead. A drop Of
perspiration trickled down one cheek
and there was a smudge on her
nose. She grinned.
ITS not exactly like Wichita,
Kan, is it," she chuckled.
There wasn't much around to re-
mind anyone of Wichita except, per.
haps, the young American faces and
the clothesline.
A few days ago this spot was just
a wheatf1eld in French Morocco.
Now there is a tent city housing the
newest army evacuation hospital to
move into North Africa-a busting,
busy place Of doctors, nurses and en-
listed men from all parts Of the
United States.
Glad to Get to Work.
Everyone was glad to get back to
work after weeks of travelling across
the Atlantic by boat and North AZ
RIGA in motor convoy. The receiv-
ing tent was filled with soldiers wait
ing diagnosis of their ills. The doc
tors checked their equipment and
supplies while the nurses prepared
the wards and got their patients set
tied into beds.
Officers and nurses strobe through
the streets, shutting up little clouds
Of dust with each step. They were
far from the quiet, white hospital
rooms with the familiar cloying
odors Of antiseptics and anesthetics
but their jobs were the same.
1--WE like it here" Orpha Warner
said simply. This is what we all
wanted-to get across and work with
the army in the field. The expert
ence has been wonderful and never
had such fun. OF course it all hasn't
been peaches and cream, but none
of us expected soft job"
That's true" agreed Marjorie
Royal Of Bloomington, Neb., land

ter we like it.

Sally Norcutt of Wendell, N. c.,
sat on box hugging her knees. She
nodded her dark head.

said, but we really enjoy living
this way. We feel we are accom-
pliShing something. This life isn't
as hard as it appears to be here.

E. M. W.: I am a young woman
separated from my husband. Dur
ing the time we were apart, I was
living with a settled man. He has
good money and anything 1 want
he gives to me. But he wouldn't
take me out. So I started slipping
around with boy my equal and
fell for him. I promised him I
would run away with him and just
when I was planning to go, I re-
ceived a letter from my husband
and also my allotment saying that
I was all he had and please wait
for him until the war ends and he
would make me the happiest wom-
an in the world. Help me to figure
out what is best?
Ans: The seriousness of this
war has sobered your husband ire
mendOusly and for the first time in
his life he really knows what he
wants. You are his only inspira-
ton. You were led to believe that
he no longer loved you you
wandered, made friends and found
a new life but you must admit that
something was lacking. The old
man was too old the young one
too young. Now you have the
chance to put the past behind you
and accept the love which you once
thought was lost. When you do so,
you must put other men out of your
life entirely.
M. T. M: I am minister, pas
toring here in this little town. My
husband and I have begun buying
a place in the city where he works
and we plan to build as soon as we
can. Neither of US really want to
live there but just to have a home
as we both are getting we'll along
in years. He really wants to buy

SEABEE GETTYSBURG
ADDRESS"

Two score and seven days ago our
battalion brought forth upon the
island a new project, conceived in a
foxhole and dedicated to the propo-
sition that all Japs are created evil.
We are now ensnared in the heat,
rain and mud of the island, testing
whether this project or the Sea-
bees will long endure.
We are all together slipping and
sliding as we do this, but in a
larger sense we cannot cultivate,
we cannot navigate, we cannot har-
row this ground, for those great
rains which make this mud here
have made it impossible, far above
the poor power of all but the "cats"

to be enslaved here by this mental
labor which they who are in charge
have thus so freely advanced. It
is rather for US to be here sickened
by the dish of hash set before us,
that from these cans we took our
nourishment; nor no devotion to
those cooks, for our stomachs gave
an everlasting measure of commo-
ton.
The world will little note nor
long remember what we build here,

in detail what a basal metabolism
test is?
Answer: 1t is performed by
breathing oxygen from a tank.
When this is done for half an hour
a definite amount Of oxygen is
used depending on height, weight
and age. The amount an individual
under test uses is compared to the
normal for that height, weight and
age. 1t is a test of the rate of oxy-
gen consumption, or metabolism.
1t is called basal because it is done
with the patient lying in bed in a
fasting state. Exercise, or utilizing
food increases oxygen consump-
ton. The basal metabolism is more
affected by the activity of the thy
roid gland than anything else.

along without some degree of such
feelings. They are not nccossariIv
signs Of any serious illness On the
down side Of life although in chill
dren or younger people they would
be regarded as OF considerable
gravity.
Essentially they indicate
changes in the blood supply Of the
apparatus of equilibrium. The or
gan Of equilibrium is in the bones
Of the skull just behind the ears
1t consists Of three horseshoe
shaped enthusiastically known
as the semi-circular canalS-Which
stand pointing in different direc-
tons, one upward, one to the side
and one backward.
They are filled with a fluid which
moves as the head is moved and
relays to our brain the news of
what position the body is in. Prac-
tlcslly everyone but senators and
cabinet members can tell whether
he IS standing up or lying down,
or standing on his head, even if he
has his eyes shut and is in the
dark, and it is a very valuable and
mysterious function.
. Causes of Dizziness
When you whirl a person around
rapidly the fluid in these canals
sWishes around so fast it gets out
Of control, and he staggers, cannot
control the direction in which he
is going and for a minute or two
is lost.
Drugs, notably old John Barley
corn, VIGOROUSLY do the same
thing.
Since these semi-circular canals
are near the organ of hearing those
who are beginning to have chronic
progressive deafness may suffer
from vertigo as the first symptom.
But in others there are no dis
turbanCes of the hearing mechan-
ism and we must asCrlbe the
sensations of dizziness to the GEN.
tral receiving organ in the brain.
Undoubtedly this is due to changes
IN the arteries of the brain of a
general process of hardening Of
the arteries all owe the body.
With such a theory in mind DR..
Maurice Eliaser, Of the Army
Medical Corps, has devised a treat
mcnt consisting of an elastic collar
q of an inch in width with a hook
and eye attachment to admit Of
ready adjustment and removal.
This is tight enough to cause some
engagement of the blood vessels
in the skull, but no: enough to
cause any shutting off Of the blood
supply going to the brain.
Collar Beneficial
He has tried it on a number Of
patients and it works. One man,
40 years of age, had r|ccurrcnt SEN

were noted most prominently on

GAS PLANT

May l be permitted to express
a few convictions In your valued
paper which may serve TO interpret
our City gas plant in 4 new light?
The Ipsilanti gas plant is owned
by the people. More than twenty
years ago 1t was purchased by the
people from utility operating
company. There were no funds
with which to purchase this prop
erty. Bonds were issued which
carried the faith and credit of the
people OF this community. Local
citizens had no experience in op-
Grating gas plant. However,
under Board of Public Works
this property was given honest and
careful administration. Gradual
ly the property was built up. The
mortgage was paid off The peo-
pie of Ypsilsnti have pride in this
municipal accomplishment.
