The two fellows nailed in
Yonkers used an acetylene torch
TO cut into a big vault. Most
likely The Dutchman" would
consider the torch merely a
variation of his electric drill.
Their time was pretty good con-
sidering the massiveneSs Of the
vault-two and a half hours.
Then they walked out with over
SIS 900 practically into the arms
OF the bulls who had been trail

IN THEIR homes were found
Il five large acetylene torches
and numerous smaller ones
showing that they fancied that
medium. 1t is said they worked

would stagger The Dutchman"

prove of all this bulk. He has
always said that his happiest

cracker were when he roamed

fuses, some laundry soap and
vial OF nitro-glycerine which he
could boil out of dynamite as
needed over a campfire.
The police called him a yegg
In those days, or perhaps a
peterman, peter being the
term for safe or box. The rural
boxes were not difficult to open
with the nitro but the hazards
OF onslaughts by the constabu4

the explosions were great.

TTiE use OF a well-balanced
L diet not only is important
during the treatment Of illness,
but also during the recovery or
convalescent period. AS soon
as a person is injured or suffers
from disease, poor nutrition al
most always starts at once.
According To Drs. John p.
Peters of Yale University and
Robert Elman Of Washington
University, this malnutrition
comes as result OF two things:
first, the direct effect OF the
disease or injury IN damaging
tissues. and second, lessened
food intake. because during
these times persons Just do not
have good appetite or are un-
able 10 eat.
UNLESS the body is properly
- supplied with all OF the
necessary food parts, there is
wasting OF the tissues. Hence,
food and fluid must be given in
proper quantities and proper
tions, starting with the very
onset OF the illness. II this is
done there will be no need for
treating severe and prolonged
malnutrition during the con-
Valescent time.
So often II is forgotten that
no matter how much food is
offered 10 a patient, IL will have
no value unless il is eaten, and
this failure TO eat may arise
from physical weakness or eX-
or because even the
ptions OF eating are painful.
II is often helpful TO take
advantage OF the sense OF
thirst, because a thirsty person
will take fluids. and both call
ories and proteins may be given
In the form OF fluids.
Proteins are the parts Of food
necessary for rebuilding worn
out and damaged tissues. Calor-
les refer TO the amount OF heat
units furnished by the food in
the diet. OF course. when the
patient is able 10 take solids the
use OF fluid and semi-huid foods
can be more or less discon-
tinued.

BY George Dixon

IF YOU will just read this
Il carefully I think you will be
we'll rewarded by being driven
nuts.
1t already has done as much
for the undersecretary Of the
navy and sundry officials OF the
Office of War Information and
the manpower commission.
Here's what happened:
Around 10 o'clock in the
morning. Secretary OF the Navy
James ForreStal held a press
conference. He was surrounded
by covey of admirals wearing
enough gold stars TO ornament
a community Christmas tree.
Secretary Forrestal and the
admirals announced that a crit
ical manpower shortage exists
in Pacific Coast repair yards:
that, in fact, the situation is so
bad the wounded aircraft car
rler Franklin had to be brought
around 10 the East Coast be-
cause men and facilities were
not available to repair her in
the West.
They issued an appeal for
$4,000 more shipyard workers
TO go Immediately TO the Pacific
yards.
The story went out TO all the
nations newspapers. most Of
which carried II front page.
The radio re-echoed it all day
long.
ONE of the largest networks
" wanted 10 freshen it up a
bit before serving il for dinner
on Z p. m. broadcast. So it
conceived the brilliant notion
Of asking the navy to supply
one Of its high dignitaries for
the re-hashing.
The navy designated Under
secretary Ralph A. Bard. He
and his public relations writer's
whipped together a two minute
speech.
The Owl has no control over
press conferences although it
recently attempted, thout
success. to compel government
big shots 10 submit an outline
of what they intended TO tell
the press, so Owl might give
counsel and guidance"
However. Owl does clear
speeches. Editors note: OWL
dislikes the horrid word Cen
sorship" so it calls it clear
ance.")
Owl. therefore. insisted on
clearing Undersecretary Bards
speech.
The job Of censoring-clear-
ing - was assumed by Mr..
Charles Jack" Durham, who
reported back that OWL would
not clear the speech because
the War Manpower Commission
objected.

newspaper experience consisted
of cub reporting on small Texas
papers, was told he was being

hind the Japanese lines in Asia. The

came a dangerous fighting outfit,
killing Japs, blowing up trains and
raiding Jap outposts.
