HONE NURSE

Written for NEA Service

"Oh, Mother, you don't fill a
hot water bottle that way
There was condescension in
16-year-old Sally's tone as she
took the bottle from her mothers
hands.
"We learned how to do it in
our home nursing class in school.
Miss Holden said we must never
fill the hot water bottle from the
faucet, or the teakettle, because
you can't tell how hot it is, and
that's the way people get burn
ed
Sally proceeded expertly to
demonstrate the correct method
of filling a hot water bottle,
while her mother, properly hum
bled, looked on. First she filled
a quart pitcher half full of not
water from the faucet and added
some from the teakettle. With
the air of a professional she ex-
tended her forearm and dropped
a little water from the pitcher
on the inner surface of her arm
near the elbow.
THE PROPER WAY
If you bear it comfortably
on your skim" she explained,
::'it's safe for the patient.
She filled the hot water bot
tie about half full of water, say
ing as she did so, You mustn't
fill it too full or it will be heavy
and uncomfortable"
She rested the bottle on the
table, pressing it until the water
appeared at the mouth, expelling
all the air. Carefully she in
spected the stopper and the
mouth of the bottle TO see If the
washer was in place. Then she
screwed the stopper in tightly,
wiped the bottle dry, and turned
ii upside down TO make certain
that ii did not leak. She wrapped
the bottle in towel and pinned
it securely with safety pins.
The hot water bottle should
always be wrapped so that 1t
won't burn the patient, and, be-
sides, it is more comfortable next
to the skim" Sally finished firm
ly. She held the bottle against
her face to test the heat, then
handed il over to her mother,
with an air OF Nov you know
how"
"My goodness, what you chill
dren learn in school these days"
her mother muttered as she
started of. to apply the bottle to

NEW YORK--1n the general
expressions of shock, amaze
ment and horror which have
followed disclosure of the atom
&c bomb. the general public has
overlooked something which is
apparent at once to the engineer
that the damage largely is
disSIpated over the surface of
tho earth and that deep shelters
may be constructed which
would effectively protect human
life and industry from atomic
warfare.
We should start at once to
put a percentage of our vital
industries and populations UNI

primarily should be manufact-
uring assembly plants of vari-
Gus types, both for military and
civilian needs. Huge subter-
ranean, warehouses for basic
raw materials, food and other
supplies also will be needed.

would be constructed above
ground, but modernistically
equipped sub-surface barracks
would also be available for

WE HAVE KNOW HOW"
Our present military and CT
william engineering experience
are adequate TO build this type
of defense. We have perfected
air conditioning and artificial
sunlight. We have built intri-
cate subway systems, tunnels,
enormous dam projects and to-
day mine coal and other miner
ais in vast underground areas.
In fact II is well known that we
can live for protracted periods

A TIME OF CONFUSION

Rioht now there is q good deol Of confusion IN
the public mind over the highly important matters
of occupation policy for Japan and dennObiIIzotIon
Of our own Army.
Some Of it comes from official sources ond some
from unofficial but important Army Spokesman
General Eichebereer has sold that It the Jops be-
have themselves the occupation may not lost more
than year. Genera Wainwright, with his painfully
acquired knowledge of japanese character says II
should continue for 20 years. General Barney GILES
has upped the occupation estimate to full century
Generals won't decide the length Of occupation
or initiate any formal government policy, though
they may be consulted. When the Stote Department
announced thot Japanese policy would be mode m
Washington not by American occupation forces IT
was stating on obvious foct. 1t was oso, by general
agreement, rebukine General Macarthur
This rebuke may have been called forth by the
generals remark about reducing the occupation
forces in japan to 200 900 in six months Or it may
have been because Of some unpublished disagree
ment over policy or operation between Washington
and Macarthur headquarters. At any rote, it sue
ceeded in getting the public pretty we'll mixed up.
Some people seem to have the idea that the
100000 figure applies to the whole postwar Army
in the Pacific. They disturbed by the feeling
that we are taking unnecessary chances with JoPon
In other quarters there is on apparent feor that
the Army is retaining lot Of men needlessIy, al
though the immediate size Of our force in japan IS
not the determining factor in rehabilitation.
Probably most Of this confusion is inevitable,
and probably the only remedy for much Of it is Po-
tience 1t takes almost os long to unwind from
war as it does to wind up for There ore still
supply and transportation problems, os we'll as sep
orotion-center bottenecks, to slow the rate Of de-
mobilization.
But there is on element Of danger in this nPo-
tience Every family with member in the ormed
forces wants that member home quickly as pos
sble That is right and natural And because it is,
it might tempt some congressman and other otti-
cios to turn the whole thing into political football.
Congress already has its eyes on the 1916 cleo
TONS And what the country doesn't need right now
is q scramble Of Legislators to who can make the
most promises for quickest rehabilitation and to
introduce numerous hurried iII-oonsidered and time
wosting bills to implement those promises and inn
press the voters.
The immediate result could only be more con-
fusion And the ultimate result might be notiono
defense based on blind foith in the atomic bomb
and another skeleton Army and Navy.

ADVOCATES ECONOMIC
REFORMS
Every one of these measures
involves a whopping big econ
omic reform. Yet there is lit
tie of the usual social worker
or professional do-gooder in
Murray's makeup. Conserva-
tives might make a case that
Murray is a dangerous radical,
basing their arguments on his
record in Congress. But there
is nothing radical in his back
ground.
In the first place, he Is a mil
lionaire. maybe even a multi
millionaire-though not a null
ti-multi-millionaire. The basis
of his fortune he inherited from
a bachelor uncle, old Jim Muir
ray.
Young Jim Murray, the sem
ator, who is a mere boy of SO,
was educated at his uncle's ex-
pense as lawyer in New York
University. Then he was put
to work in a mine. But he built
up his inheritance of hotels,
mines and real estate so that to-
day he rates as more of bust
ness man--s rugged individual
ist, if you please-who says he
is primarily interested in saving
the American free enterprise
system and all it stands for.
When you ask Senator Muir
ray where he got all these ideas,
he pulls from under the table
back of his desk q leather-bound
copy of Fortune-the magazine
of big business, mind you-and
turns Immediately to marked
page in the issue for March.
1898.
The title of the editorial ar
ticle is, Business and Govern
ment," and the subtitle is, "A
division of industry into smaller
units might result in some sur
prising profits" Yes, Murray
wants to preserve the profit mo-
tive.
There is not space to quote
extensively from the Fortune
article here, but the sub-head
gives you the idea and it is the
basis of Jim Murray's business
and political philosophy today.
A FOE OF BIG INTERESTS"
He insists that his is not Ia
bor." Many labor lobbyists have
tried to pin their pet projects on
his coat-tail. But he never be-
longed to a labor union and he
says he never represented a un-
ion in law case. He is not
anti. labor either. When he ran
for reelection in 1912. he was
supported by Phil Murray (no
relation) and the National CO.
PAC, but was opposed by the
CIO Montana Local United
Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
ers Union.
Murray has fought the big
copper companies and all the
other Interests" all over the
state Of Montana, coming and
going, and they've fought him.
When they tried to make peace
with him after he licked them
in the 1912 elections, he spurned
their offer.
People who know Murray
best and work with him ex-
plain him by saying he is born
liberal. Congress is noted for
its peculiarities, but Murray Is
unique even in Congress. Shy
and a poor speaker, he makes
few statements on the floor.
But he works himself to the
limit and Ahe probably has more
people i'm Washington working
for him on legislative research
than any man in town.
